With Andrew Luck and a deep corps of receivers, they know they could have one of the league's most potent passing games in 2014. The hard part has been giving Luck a solid running game that is still trying to get off the ground.
While the numbers don't show it, Luck insists the Colts are progressing and Pagano said he believes the Colts are heading in the right direction. But the real test won't come in Thursday night's preseason finale at Cincinnati, when most of the starters will be on the bench.
"It's just paying attention to details,

"There's a standard for everybody who gets in the game and that's to do well and get better," Luck said.
The third guy in the backfield rotation was expected to be Vick Ballard, who sustained a season-ending torn Achilles' tendon last month. That has opened the door for Herron,

Indy will have to wait until the season-opener to see if they've finally found a recipe for the power-running game it wants.
Undrafted rookie Jonotthan Harrison, who started the last two games at center, is now hurt,

Though Pagano remains hopeful Holmes will start Sept. 7 season at Denver, the Colts know they can't afford to start making excuses.
During Saturday night's miserable performance against New Orleans, Richardson carried six times for 17 yards, Bradshaw carried three times for two yards and Luck had the best showing among the starters with two carries for 22 yards. The numbers improved dramatically in the second half, thanks in large part to a 43-yard run from Daniel Herron, but there's plenty of room for improvement.
