The first time they got a chance to talk didn’t come until the end of the workout Thursday, while the two quarterbacks stood on the sideline and watched the final few plays of practice. That’s when Andrew Luck mentioned to Matt Hasselbeck how bored he was.
“I feel for you,” Hasselbeck remembers Luck saying. “I didn’t realize what it was like when you don’t get every single snap in practice.”
Hasselbeck laughed. He might as well have said, “Welcome to my world, kid.”
For the second consecutive day Luck, the Colts’ franchise quarterback, did more watching than throwing, still hampered by that sore throwing shoulder.
