INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts are betting big on their offensive line.They made a huge investment in left tackle Anthony Castonzo last September. They went heavy on offensive linemen in Aprils draft. They brought in Joe Philbin, who has instituted a hands-on approach to fixing the line. Now everyone wants to see if the payoff will be making the playoffs.Its a high-stakes risk for one of last seasons most disappointing teams.Anytime your quarterback gets hurt -- if he tried to scramble, he shouldnt have had to scramble, he should be able to stay in the pocket, Castonzo said. Obviously, we want to play as well as we can, so thats the goal. The goal is always 0.0 sacks.Nobody can expect perfection, but a year ago the offensive line was the Colts most glaring problem.Andrew Luck missed nine games with an assortment of injuries, backup Matt Hasselbeck struggled with multiple injuries during the second half of the season, third-stringer Charlie Whitehurst missed the season finale with an injured hamstring. Yet somehow the Colts won their last game with two street free agents who had been in town less than a week.None of those four is back for training camp, which opens July 26 at Anderson University, a Division III school about 30 miles northeast of Indy.The chaotic twists and turns provided a clear blueprint for Indys offseason.Instead of gambling on expensive free agents, general manager Ryan Grigson took the long-term approach by using his first-round draft pick on center Ryan Kelly, firming up the most unstable position along the line. Grigson didnt stop there, using half of his eight picks on linemen.Coach Chuck Pagano revamped his staff by keeping interim offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and bringing in eight assistants including Philbin, the former Miami Dolphins head coach who has already made strides in bringing along this young offensive line.Luck also is chipping in by refining his ability to slide to a stop.Its part of practice. A big part of practice is making it as game-like as possible, Luck said in June, following his first action at Lucas Oil Stadium since lacerating his kidney when he didnt slide in early November. With all things, if you throw an interception you start running after the guy that intercepted it. If youre out running and youre not near the sidelines, you slide.While that sounds good, Castonzo understands Indy will cash in if everybody helps Luck stay upright.Here are some other things to watch during training camp:TURNOVER TURNAROUND: Injuries werent Indys only problem last season. Luck threw two interceptions in a season-opening loss at Buffalo before things really got bad. He wound up throwing 12 interceptions in seven games, a pace that would have shattered his previous career high of 18 from his rookie season. Luck has averaged 1.0 interception per game through his first 55 NFL games -- a number that must be reduced to reach a Super Bowl.WHAT RUSH?: The Colts need help in this area on offense and defense. Frank Gore is still smarting after his streak of consecutive 1,000-yard seasons ended at four in 2015. At age 33, Gore is convinced he can finally end the Colts drought of 1,000-yard runners. The last was Joseph Addai in 2007. Defensively, Robert Mathis is still one of the leagues most feared pass rushers, but the Colts need to find a complement -- and a successor -- to the 35-year-old linebacker who is entering the final year of his contract.GETTING ACCLIMATED: New defensive coordinator Ted Monachino will start his tenure by trying to fix the Colts run defense. Chudzinski, who replaced the fired Pep Hamilton in November, has finally had time to install his own offense. How much will change? The Colts havent hinted at any secrets and certainly didnt provide much of a glimpse during offseason workouts. The next few weeks will be the first time most fans will get a real chance of seeing the progression.SILENT TREATMENT: One year ago, the pre-camp talk focused on Super Bowl titles. Not this year. Though players and coaches have almost universally taken the words Super and Bowl out of their vocabulary, they acknowledge the goal remains unchanged: bringing home the Lombardi Trophy.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Roshe Run Saldi .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up.

The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup. BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell said Wednesday he will donate about $35,000 to a fallen officers fund in Dallas as part of his apology for posting a drawing on Instagram last week showing a police officer getting his throat slashed.Crowell, in a video posted on Facebook, apologized again for the post and said he would donate his first game check to a fund for the police officers slain and injured during a sniper attack last week. He didnt say what the exact amount would be, but his yearly salary is $600,000 covering 17 weeks of the NFL season, including a bye.I know this might not change your mind about me, and I know I cant take the post back, but Im sorry and moving forward Im committed to being part of the solution, the 23-year-old Crowell said in the video.Crowell posted the drawing after black men in Louisiana and Minnesota were fatally shot by police. He subsequently deleted the post, but a screenshot continued to be circulated on social media.Crowell said he was frustrated and upset and let his emotions get the better of him. He said he knew the post was wrong almost immediately and deleted it with no prompting.I would never wish violence on anyonee, especially a police officer, he said.ddddddddddddStill, the post upset Cleveland police officers who are preparing for the Republican National Convention starting next week in the city. Steve Loomis, the president of the Cleveland police union, had threatened to pull police staffing of Browns games because of it, but he said Wednesday he was satisfied with Crowells apology and donation.Five police officers were killed in the Dallas attack last Thursday night at a protest over the shooting deaths of the two black men by white officers. Seven other officers and two civilians were wounded.The Browns were clear about their displeasure with Crowells post, calling it an extremely disturbing and unacceptable social media decision in a statement released earlier this week. The team called on Crowell to take steps to make a positive difference after a very negative and impactful post.Crowell had 706 yards rushing and four touchdowns for Cleveland last year. The former Alabama State star has totaled 1,313 yards rushing and 12 TDs in two seasons with the Browns. ' ' '
