INDIANAPOLIS — The difference is in the details.

A Colts offensive lineman sets up, fires off the ball and handles his opponent, making the kind of play that made the Indianapolis front five a surprising entry among the league’s best blocking groups last season.

For a moment, the lineman feels pretty good about the repetition.

Then a voice comes in, either from Chris Strausser a few steps behind or Howard Mudd on his cart. Maybe a foot was in the wrong place, or it was in the right place but could have been placed a little better.
