INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Vontae Davis doesn't get a lot of hype playing cornerback for the Colts.
"We always (call our secondary) 'No Fly Zone' but it's nothing we've stamped," Toler said. "We just want to get the ball back to Andrew (Luck) and our offense because they're a high-flying offense. If we get the notoriety, cool, if not it's no big (deal). The numbers will show at the end of the day and the numbers don't lie."
Davis was initially listed day-to-day, but after full participation in Thursday's practice,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, he will start Monday night against the New York Giants.
"We still respect (the Giants' receivers). It starts at the top, Tom Coughlin, he's a well-respected coach and we expect their best. (Manning) is a good quarterback (he has won) two Super Bowls and all the accolades you dream of. We've got to go in with the mindset to slow him down,Cheap Jerseys USA," Davis said.
Davis is joined by fellow sixth-cornerbacks Greg Toler and Darius Butler in Indianapolis' secondary. Together, the group is trying to best the Colts' 2013 ranking of 13th in passing defense.
The Giants will be without many of the familiar weapons Eli Manning has had in the past. Victor Cruz is out after suffering a season ending knee injury and Hakeem Nicks will be lining up opposite his former team Monday night. However, Davis and Indy's secondary aren't taking any chances.
Through eight weeks, Indianapolis ranks 21st in passing defense and last Sunday's 51-34 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't do them any favors. Ben Roehtlisberger torched the Colts for 522 yards and six touchdowns,Cheap Jerseys Online, five of them coming after Davis left the game with a knee injury.
"Anytime any guy gets hurt you don't want it to be anything serious, but (Vontae) is a big part of our defense, he brings attitude to the game. He brings a different element, he's physical and we're always on the same page," Butler said. |
