C Jeff Saturday hasn't noticed a big difference on the offensive side of the ball with the possible temporary losses of longtime assistant coaches Tom Moore and Howard Mudd. "I'll say this, I don't really know exactly what is going on, and so I probably will just defer (to coach Jim Caldwell). I really don't know what the situation is with all the staff changes. I know we have a new defensive coordinator and a new special teams coach," Saturday said. "But other than that, I dealt with Howard (Mudd) and Tom (Moore) in the pre-season stuff already, so while they've been gone for a few weeks, nothing has really changed for me up to this point." Saturday doesn't foresee many changes to what the Colts do offensively or how the offensive line will be coached whether Moore or Mudd are back or not. "I don't know exactly what's going to happen or what it's going to like. I'm sure Jim (Caldwell) will make it very clear, but understand from our side, I would not be dealing with coaches right now anyways. I come in and lift, run, do stuff with the strength coaches, and I may spend 10 minutes with a coach talking about different things we're implementing. So it hasn't been anything different for me because it's just been normal business," he said. "Pete's (Metzelaars) been here maybe four or five years, he's been here with me forever. I know he knows the offense as well as any staff member. He knows football. He played 15, maybe 16 years up in Buffalo and different places around the league. There is definitely not going to be any issue of him not knowing our offense or football, he's as good as they come. As far as him taking over and asserting that role as the guy you look to, that's the only thing that will be different. Over the last couple of years, when you come off the field, you talk to Pete, you talk to Howard (Mudd). He's up on the headset, so he's pretty much communicating with you year round. So there's not going to be a whole lot of differenc 52/8/2009
