I would expect the Colts to go no-huddle for a good portion of the game. That leads me to believe that there will be plenty of opportunities for Hobbs, Samuel, Gay, Sanders, Harrison and Meriweather (assuming Wilson is out). Especially in the 2nd half. Last thing we need is a gassed secondary down the stretch. I can also see Rodney being used in more of a nickle linebacker role than a true safety...possibly opening up some playing time for Meriweather.
As for Meriweather being a "secret" weapon, he does have the skill set to line up anywhere and do a variety of things. His lack of experience (and lack of game tape for the Colts to study) does make him kind of a secret.
If Meriweather is used extensively in this game, I would expect it to be in a way that we (and the Colts) haven't seen before. |
