Highlights From Live Wall-to-Wall Peyton Manning Coverage on NFL Network & NFL.com
NFL Network and NFL.com continues its wall-to-wall coverage today on the latest surrounding the release of quarterback Peyton Manning by the Indianapolis Colts.
Host Rich Eisen and analyst Warren Sapp are joined by NFL Network analysts Marshall Faulk, Steve Mariucci and Brian Billick, former Colts head coach Tony Dungy and NFL team beat reporters from various cities to discuss the impact Manning had during his 14 years in Indianapolis and where he might land when free agency opens next week.
Additionally, NFL Network reporters Albert Breer (Indianapolis) Jason La Canfora (Washington, D.C.) and Jeff Darlington (Miami) provide live reports.
Provided below are quotes and video links from today’s coverage and the Colts’ press conference:
– “If you’re in the NFC, you’re out. The Mannings, they’ll play a regular season game. They’re not going to stop each other from going to the Super Bowl. Meeting in the Super Bowl, how great would that be for the family?…How great would it be for Archie to have his two boys playing against each other in the greatest game that there is – a Super Bowl? There is not a bad feeling on who is going to lose.” – NFL Network analyst Marshall Faulk on possible landing spots for Peyton Manning
– “It’s tough. Even though I’m not there, it’s a very, very difficult day. I went through it with a lot of players over the seven years that I was there; Edgerrin James, we had the same situation right before we won the Super Bowl and that was really difficult. This one you just don’t think is going to happen, but I do know this in speaking to Peyton and speaking to Jim Irsay, they both came to this conclusion that this was going to be the best thing for Peyton, the best thing for the Colts moving forward. You just have to accept it.” – Former Colts head coach Tony Dungy on the release of Peyton Manning
– “San Francisco, I look at what they did and whether they have made that commitment to Alex Smith yet, I don’t know. I don’t know where they stand but that is a team that has a great defense, some young receivers, a very good tight end and a good back. You put Peyton Manning in that offense and people are going to be scared to play them.” – Dungy on the San Francisco 49ers with Manning
– “This is a good move for both individuals. The Indianapolis Colts needed to move on. The ambiguity about Peyton Manning’s status, you knew this day was going to come at some point. They clearly had to put themselves on another path; it was a unique opportunity to do it when someone like an Andrew Luck [coming into the league] and they happen to have the first pick in the draft. For Peyton Manning, it couldn’t have been better timing. There are a lot of teams that didn’t have Peyton Manning last year that ended up better than 2-14…It’s a win-win across the board.” – NFL Network analyst Brian Billick on the release of Peyton Manning

Jets RB LaDainian Tomlinson, Rams GM Les Snead & Redskins LB London Fletcher on The Rich Eisen Podcast Thursday, March 8 at 2:00 PM ET — Available for Download on NFL.com & iTunes
The latest edition of The Rich Eisen Podcast airs Thursday, March 8 at 2:00 PM ET on NFL Network and is now available for download on NFL.com and iTunes.
This week on The Rich Eisen Podcast, New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson appears in-studio to discuss the team’s 2011 season, what lies ahead for him with the opening of free agency and more.
The newly hired general manager of the St. Louis Rams Les Snead appears via Rams Cam to discuss the team’s options with the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, Rams quarterback Sam Bradford and the future for defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher joins the podcast to discuss his Pro Bowl season in 2011 and his relationship with Gregg Williams as his defensive coordinator in Washington and head coach with the Buffalo Bills.
Below are quotes from this edition of The Rich Eisen Podcast:
“Right now it’s a league matter. That’s an ongoing investigation and we’re not going to comment on that until that investigation is resolved. I’ve mentioned before when I’ve been asked the question, I think in life – whether you’re in the NFL, whether you’re a football team, whether you’re hosting a podcast – you have to be prepared for adversity and you better be able to adjust. The people and the teams and the podcasters who do that the best are the most successful.” – St. Louis Rams general manager Les Snead on defensive coordinator Gregg Williams
“Internally, we have decided he is a franchise quarterback. Now we start weighing the option of does this now allow us to trade that [No. 2 overall] pick, get some more picks and now start putting better players around him, and letting him do what he does with more weapons on both sides of the ball.” – Snead on Rams quarterback Sam Bradford
