Wayne Happy With Bruce Arians' Honesty

Sep 26, 2014 7:41 AM

Reggie Wayne is happy that new Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is brutally honest. "He's not going to B.S. you," the wide receiver said. One of Arians' methods is making a list of each flub during practice. Missed assignments, concentration lapses, dropped pass, they can all earn you a starring role in the next film study. "He's not going to sugarcoat anything," Wayne said. "He's going to try to correct you and make you the best you can be. If you're a veteran guy, you've got to understand that and take the good with the bad. "I appreciate that. I can handle that. I'm glad he's here."

The NFL recently eased its TV blackout rules, allowing local telecasts if 85 percent of seats are sold. Teams, however, can set the threshold above 85 percent if they wish.
