Andrew Luck hasn’t played in more than a year because of a right shoulder injury. Peyton Manning can relate Alex Cappa Jersey , though his was a neck issue that kept him out of the 2011 season.

“Everything is an individual thing, so you have to be careful speaking on it since injuries are different,” Manning told Mike Wells of ESPN after playing in Wednesday’s Pro-Am at the Memorial in Ohio. “But it’s also universal. For me, I was a [repetition] guy. I liked to get all the reps on practice. The theory of 10,000 reps, I believe in that. I felt like I was kind of behind because I hadn’t gotten the reps even though you have a lot in the bank. It took me a few games before I felt like I was coming back. Getting as many reps as possible is key.”

While the Colts remain confident Luck will play this season, the franchise quarterback has not thrown a football since last October. The plan is for Luck to begin throwing a football sometime between June 14 and the start of training camp.

“For me, coming off missing the entire year with the neck, I knew I was going to have to play a different kind of way Robbie Gould Jersey , a different sort of physical state,” Manning said. “I was looking for things like positive feedback from receivers on whether the ball felt the same coming in and then when you get into the game and you throw a deep out. We played a preseason game and I threw a deep comeback route, and that was a thing to check off the box. You want to do everything for the first time again. You want to get hit; you want to make a tight throw, have a two-minute drive. I wanted to do all those things again.”

Luck, 28, wants to do all those things again, too. But he’s not there yet.

Matthew Stafford dropped back and connected over the middle with Golden Tate.

Before the Detroit Lions lined up to take another snap in the two-minute drill, Stafford’s short pass to Tate was shown on a pair of huge TV monitors.

The Detroit Lions under first-year coach Matt Patricia are part of a trend: NFL teams using instant replay to make quick corrections and observations during training camp.

The Oakland Raiders, Los Angeles Rams James White Jersey , Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins are also taking advantage of technology common in stadiums on game days.

Tate said the replays between snaps are shown too quickly for him to see them. But if the receiver is walking off the field while the second-string offense is coming on it, he takes a peek at the previous play.

”I look at what the coverage was,” Tate said. ”I can also pull a coach aside and say, `What could I have done differently?’

”It’s great to be able to go over something quickly when it is fresh in your mind versus having to wait and forget about it.”

The Lions, like a lot of teams in the league, have cameras perched atop towers higher than goal posts. Camera operators use joysticks to zoom in and out, tilt up and down and pan the field to record the action. The Lions also have an operator with a safety harness on a scissor lift. And closer to the ground, staff members hold cameras and put them on short tripods to get other vantage points.

Cornerback Darius Slay said he always looks at replays in practice, especially if a teammate catches a pass against him.

”I want to know what I did wrong Fran Tarkenton Jersey ,” Slay said. ”I can correct it just as fast as I can see it. I’m glad (Patricia) got that out there for us.

”You can see what’s wrong – fast.”

Instant replays during practices potentially provide another way to help players on the sideline, who aren’t getting hands-on repetitions.

”It’s a great teaching tool for our team,” Oakland coach Jon Gruden said. ”I think it’ll be better when we have one huddle going at a time. We had two huddles going at once, so it was a little bit chaotic.”

The Rams also put up a big replay board on the side of a field at their camp at UC Irvine, giving them a chance to get and give immediate feedback instead of waiting hours for a film session.

”That’s really the intent of it,” Rams coach Sean McVay said.

The Browns have a new camera system and it includes a replay screen at their training facility.

”People who are getting the mental reps, who are not doing it, can turn back and really see what is really going on,” Browns coach Hue Jackson said. ”Understand the defense Lawrence Guy Jersey , where the offense might have broken down, or why we executed pretty well. I think it is a really good thing to have for both offense and defense.”
