Justin Tryon says playing for Colts is 'night and day' difference from Redskins

The Redskins aren't in the playoffs, but several former Washington players and coaches still have football games to worry about. ...And perhaps one of the most surprising: the Indianapolis Colts starting cornerback Justin Tryon.
Speaking Wednesday from the Colts locker room in Indianapolis, Tryon said getting traded from the Redskins was a big opportunity, and he's taken full advantage of his time with a new team.
"The crossover was wonderful," Tryon said. "It's a huge blessing."
....He was traded following training camp to Indianapolis, where he's become a key contributer down the stretch. The Colts' Jerraud Powers was placed on injured reserve last month and Kelvin Hayden suffered a neck injury. So Tryon started the Colts' final four games of the regular season and if Hayden can't go this weekend against the New York Jets -- Hayden hasn't practiced this week -- Tryon will get the call.
...Tryon expected to be a special teams contributer in Indianapolis but was in the Colts' starting lineup in Week 1.
...And he still talks to Redskins Hall of Famer Darrell Green every other week or so and seeks guidance, he said.

Justin Tryon making an endzone interception of Sanchez in the playoffs.
Something to think about as we look at Rogers potentially leaving and our depth at CB. Maybe Darrell Green was actually right...
