INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts first-year head coach Jim Caldwell announced that he will rest his backups for the remaining two games of the 2009 regular season. “We want to keep guys like Curtis Painter, Jacob Tamme and that tight end…number 86…whats-his-name…fresh for the playoffs,” said Caldwell. The Colts have clinched homefield advantage throughout the playoffs and are currently undefeated. “Guys like Peyton Manning, Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne need to stay sharp,” Caldwell explained. “You give those guys a week off and it’s back to square one.” The backups were relieved to hear they could take it easy against the next few games against the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. “You don’t want to get a freak injury against these powder-puff teams in games that have zero meaning. Something like that could keep you from standing on the sideline throughout the playoffs,” said backup punt returner Jerraud Powers. “I might have to sit on the bench and miss the action, or just wait for it to get shown on the big screen.”
