Criticism of Reggie Wayne personal to Coach Pagano

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – The Colts will get back to work on Wednesday as they prepare for a huge game this week against the Texans.

A win on Sunday and Chuck Pagano will have his team back in the playoffs for the third year in a row.

Recently Pagano has had to deal with a lot of criticism surrounding his star wide receiver Reggie Wayne’s play on the field. There’s no doubt the veteran has struggled lately and Pagano revealed just on Monday that Wayne has a torn triceps.

Regardless of the latest injury 24-Hour News 8 asked Pagano does he take the criticism about Wayne personal.

“Yea, and I think everyone else in this organization, starting from the top down, feels that way. All of his teammates feel that way. The entire coaching staff takes it that way. We’re talking about a special special player, a special guy. A guy who’s given everything that he’s got for 14 years to this city, to this community, this organization. He lays it on the line every time he straps that helmet on. It won’t be long before the naysayers, the boo birds, whatever you want to call them, they’ll be back jumping on the bandwagon.” said Pagano.
