It is incredibly simple, if Freeney is his normal tazmanian devil self the Colts win the game, but if your only gonna rush 4 guys you got to have some quickness on the edges or a QB and offense like the Saints will find the holes.

I am glad the Vols are switching to more of a blitzing defense.


Edit: the more I think about it, we might miss ol Monty

let's be real here, it didnt help that the colts played flat the entire second half and the officials really wanted to let the saints hold mathis and freeney on EVERY play.

yes, it's sour grapes. :cray::cray::cray:

Agreed ...Freeney would have made a difference if healthy ...but Breeze looked sharp and ready to make plays .

The Vols didn't run a Tampa 2 ...and they blitzed more than standard from an 8 man front , almost every play . The Vols ran a bit of everything out of the base 4-3 , alot of the time you were seeing cover 1 with Berry becoming the 4 th LB. You may have seen Tampa zones once or twice a game.

Hard to imagine them blitzing more ...dfoesn't seem possible.

It was coaching, Sean Payton was Nick Saban, Jim Caldwell was Phil Fulmer.

That onside kick reminded me of 2007 Bama game, it knocked alot of fire out of the Colts.

I agree but doesn't that put alot of pressure on a most likely inconsistent secondary?

Agree. Especially with a weak line, probably going to need that ss living in the box with jj playing centerfield.

The linebackers were in coverage all night. Bethae was back deep all night so it might of just been a Cover 1, with Bullitt playing rover. Either way the Colts have always used cover 2

I can't remember them blitzing Rico or Nick very much.

of course the main issue was that the saints defense played so well, the colts weren't able to do much on offense

and the saints made sure on offense not just to drive down and score, but they milked the clock through all of it too; the game ended 15 minutes earlier than it was at least planned to by broadcast (and usually those times are set up expecting it to last longer and push everything else back)

Both teams seemed to want to shorten the game, that last minute before halftime was huge for NO.

Indeed they were, you won't find me saying otherwise.

When Garcon dropped that first down in the second quarter and Indy had to punt, the game changed from that point on. The play before that, they ran a stretch play on 2nd and inches and lost about four. That didn't help either.

I'll agree that I saw the backers in zone coverage. Through the season brees completed a ridiculous percentage of passes when he was blitzed.

The Colts had the right idea playing coverage, so did the Vikings. The Vikings with both Pat Williams and the other Williams playing DT and plenty of speed on the edge with Jared Allen caused alot of trouble for the Saints. I believe they play alot of coverage with their linebackers too.

Arizona blitzed alot out of the 3-3-5 & 4-3 we all know how that ended.

I hope we can go over some of the tapes from last year's games, because against Florida & Bama we had them figured out pretty good.

Agreed ...Bama will be the same stuff ...different day . Florida will likely be a new ball of wax with more of a passing QB that most likely isn't the power running threat that Timmy was.

Yes . I'm afraid fla might be better on offense without tebow if they can find a back to pick up tough yards.

Yea Florida will be better on offense if they play to Brantley's strengths and they get a power running game with an actual RB, the defense won't be; at least not early on.

believe me though, the saints were game-planning it to do such

look at the second quarter: the saints held the ball all of what 3 plays till the last minute; that doesn't happen in a 15 minute quarter unless you're deliberately slowing it down and taking your time

All night long, his bull-rush was killing dude, he still had the spin move working, I'm not sure many people were actually watching the game or what...Freeney was Freeney, this will be about the 5th time I've said this....the Saints tackles held on 80% of the plays, plus they double teamed Freeney or used a TE to chip block...he played great considering he was doing it on 1 leg.
