Which opposing player is our biggest concern on sunday? - New England Patriots Forums

Which Colts player do you fear may turn the game against us on sunday? - Homies don't say you fear no player cause we all hope a certain player plays bad (like Merrimen did) so who is it?

Whoever Hobbs lines up on..id be worried. Lets hope Ellis proves me wrong

I voted for Bob Sanders - If it was not for injuries he definately makes the Pro Bowl and MVP consideration,The man is a beast and has hurt us in the past - Stopping him is crucial to the run game as well,He is fast and gets to the line quickly,especially on blitzes.

Thats why he needs to be taken off the corner and used as nickel only.

Yeah he seems to be due for the big PI play call he has against him in almost every other game - Expect a long PI call on sunday as well - I say he lines up against Reggie Wayne

Harrison, based on how he manages to catch the balls that are thrown so far away from the defender. Manning throws it that way to reduce the chances of interception; it requires amazing ability to catch such throws and Harrison does it most of the time with the tip of the fingers or by making an acrobatic jump.

He has had a great game during the last two games against us and I fear him doing the most of the damage. Hopefully he is contained...

We neutralized Rivers and they didn't win, so do the same to Manning. If the opposing QB isn't playing well then you have a good chance.

I would not compare a rookie like Rivers against a seasoned veteran like Manning with HOF credentials - no comparison and Peyton is MUCH harder to stop - Throw out his last 2 games,He will come to play sunday - We may try to hold him to decent stats but we won't stop him from having some big plays like we did with Rivers

i just think Wayne-Harrison are way too smart/experienced for Hobbs to really do a great job on. Im sure he'll get help from Mickens/Scott or Hawkins over the top but we saw last time..they ate us alive with Wayne-Harrison

we should let Hobbs play jam on Wayne and then drop back..have a zone set with Hawkins over the top.

Harrison killed us last time, we gotta stop him.

Probably that Peyton guy, you know the one in the commercials?
