INDIANAPOLIS -- Scott Tolzien and Stephen Morris see every play as an opportunity.So when they trot out Thursday night at Cincinnati, the Indianapolis Colts backup quarterbacks know this game matters.Youre always trying to be sharp, Tolzien said. The way I look at it, its another opportunity to go play in a football game.On this team, those chances usually have been rare.From 1998 through 2010, Peyton Manning started every meaningful game the Colts played. Then after drafting Andrew Luck with the top overall pick in 2012, Indy plugged the rookie into the starting lineup and he started every meaningful game for the next three-plus seasons.Fortunately for the Colts, when Luck went down last season, they had a capable backup in 40-year-old Matt Hasselbeck.But when Hasselbeck announced his retirement during the offseason, it didnt take the Colts long to sign Tolzien. He spent the previous three seasons backing up Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, and they still had Morris, a developmental quarterback who finished last season on the Colts roster.Now, with the preseason winding down, the Colts will likely follow their traditional tack by giving most of their starters an extra night off to get healthy for the regular-season opener, Sept. 11 against Detroit.With so many injuries already, who can blame them?Besides, Tolzien and Morris cherish getting some extra work.Its being consistent, making plays, getting the ball out quicker, being decisive with my feet, Morris said, rattling off this weeks goals. You have to make sure youre in the books and preaching the right things.This time, though, the two quarterbacks could be vying for one open spot.Tolzien is listed at No. 2 on Indys depth chart with Morris on the No. 3 line.While coach Chuck Pagano has repeatedly brushed aside any discussion of a challenge to Tolzien, Morris has shown promise in his limited playing time and in a normal season might get one of the precious 53 roster spots.Its not so clear now.With the possibility of 10 or more injured players taking spots on the 53-man active roster, Pagano acknowledged Monday that trimming the roster from 75 to 53 might be tricky. Things could get even more complicated when they fill out the 10-player practice squad because the Colts may need all 10 active for Week 1.Morris said Tuesday he has no idea if the Colts plan to keep two or three quarterbacks, though they have usually had only two during the Manning and Luck eras.Either way, Morris is eager to give it his best shot.Its exciting, he said. Its a great opportunity to put something good on film. Any time youre on the field, you want to put good film on.Tolzien also can use the work.A year ago, he threw only one pass -- a 4-yard completion at Arizona in Week 16. The only other regular-season action for the six-year veteran came in 2013, when Rodgers was injured. He played in three games that season, started two and finished 55 of 90 for 717 yards with one touchdown and five interceptions.Hell probably make his second preseason start Thursday and he wants to make the most of it.It is crunch time, but were going to play to win, he said. You play your best when youre prepared and youre comfortable.Game notes Indianapolis got under the 75-player limit Tuesday by waiving linebacker Anthony Sarao and cornerback Darius White and putting safety Dezmen Southward on injured reserve. ... Indy then re-signed safety Alden Darby, who was released Sunday. ... Left tackle Anthony Castonzo did not practice Tuesday because of a strained triceps. Pagano said he expected Castonzo to return to practice Wednesday. Tight end Dwayne Allen also sat out for the second straight day with a sore hip. ... Dont expect cornerback Antonio Cromartie to play against the Bengals. Hes in shape, Pagano said. But theres a difference between L.A. Fitness shape and football shape, right?---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Carl Nassib Jersey . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

Britton Colquitt Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. The NSW Swifts seem primed to cast aside last seasons grand final heartbreak if their dominant 67-53 trans-Tasman netball championship finals series win over Melbourne Vixens in Sydney is any gauge.The Swifts stumbled on the final weekend of the regular season by drawing against Southern Steel to narrowly miss top spot behind the Queensland Firebirds, by there was little doubt about this result with the Vixens helpless against a pacy and clinical opponent.The Swifts played with intensity from the start and the result was not in doubt by the midway point thanks to a 20-point second quarter for a 37-25 lead.The Swifts will now meet last seasons nemesis and reigning champions Firebirds in the Australian Conference elimination final.However, Swifts coach Rob Wright refused to get carried away with a near-record finals win over a side missing two key players, and further hampered by the loss of star import Geva Mentor mid-match.I thought our first three quarters were solid and we kept building, but they had players out so I felt that (result) is what it should have been, said Wright.It was a good intense battle, the intensity always ramps up in finals and I think we saw that today.The Swifts continued thheir free-scoring from the regular season with some clinical form at the net from Susan Pettitt (23 goals from 24 attempts) and Caitlin Thwaites (40 from 44).ddddddddddddWright, who doesnt believe last seasons last-minute grand final loss is a driving factor for his players, says his side still have room for improvement.We need to look at our work around the (attacking) circle, which probably quite wasnt where it needs to be heading into the Firebirds.And we will continue look at how we can continue to put pressure on defensively.We just simply want to play better with each week.The defeat ends the Vixens campaign with coach Simone McKinnis content with the showing of her relatively inexperienced side.We were beaten by the better team, she said.We were outplayed and on the back foot at times, but we did some good things and we will focus on those.We just werent consistent enough, but in terms of individuals we had some good performances.It was a solid year, but a hard year and we gave ourselves the best chance of getting into the finals, but we just werent up to it today.
