Andrew Luck has serious questions to answer about his health before the Indianapolis Colts can truly begin to think of crafting the offense around him in 2018, but the quarterback is already pumped to dive into new head coach Frank Reich's playbook.

The former Philadelphia Eagles coordinator promised his offense will be a no-huddle scheme that's "uptempo," "aggressive," and "attacking" during his introductory press conference Tuesday - a philosophy that has Luck salivating.

"That sounds great," Luck said, according to Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site. "I know all the best offenses that I've been a part of in my career, we've not been static and we've attacked. And I'm sure he'll have a great flavor and we'll involve as many people as we can, and attacking defenses is what it's all about."

The former No. 1 pick has played under three offensive coordinators in six seasons, all boasting radically different schemes that didn't always maximize the pivot's skill set.

However, Luck's always excelled while working at a fast pace and taking shots downfield, so his pairing with Reich not only provides long-term stability but the chance for the quarterback to play in his ideal offense.
