My concern heading into this game

Wayne is better than Harrison at this point and I don't think its really debatable.

I think it is, Wayne has been producing more lately with Marvin injured, but when Marvin has been on the field he has shown he hasn't lost a step and he still catches everything thrown near him, now if he can just stay on the field... Wayne right NOW is our #1 reciever I agree but Marvin can and will still make plays

Either way, i still wouldn't like the matchup of Hobbs on Harrison as a Pats Fan. Atleast Samuel is still fairly familiar with Harrison

You put Ellis Hobbs on Marvin even with him at 80%, he's getting burnt all day

It's moot, our CB play sides not opponents and I believe your WR do too. Samuel will get Harrison or whoever plays there, Hobbs (with help) will get Wayne.

Was just watching the Redskin game on NFL replay. I think we are going to have a big problem with Ellis Hobbs covering Wayne. He did a good job last year in the AFCCG, but Hobbs is certainly our weaker corner and every big play so far this year has been to his side...(not just the Washington game) Wayne is having a great year an I fear he will burn Hobbs all day. It seems as though Ellis plays ten yards back all the time, which I believe puts him at a disadvantage.

I am fully confident in Asante shutting down Harrison, but Hobbs worries me on Wayne. I think coach will game plan for Clark, but Hobbs may be out on an island...

Harrison is hurt (bruised knee), twisted is more like it. We will either double wayne or let samuel shadow him.

The key to this game is pressure. If we get pressure on Manning, it won't matter who Hobbs is covering. If we don't get pressure on Manning, than it is going to be a long day. The interesting note on the Colts is they have only 12 sacks in 7 games. Conversely, we have 22 sacks in 8 games. We need to make Manning uncomfortable in the pocket. Last year in the playoffs we had Vrabel playing inside and Harrison out of the game. Now we have two more guys who we can send in on blitzes in this game.

Bummer, even though I hate it when I see both Harrison and Wayne make some amazing catches (example would be the one where Manning throws short/medium passes more towards the sidelines that will allow only the WRs to catch it), I greatly respect them. Hope he is normal and is able to play.

My impression was that one of the reasons to bring in AD was to take care of Clark.

I don't think he will "take care" of Clark. He will probably be playing under him a lot with safety help over top. AD has to be equally attuned to the dumpoffs to Addai.

Seau, Thomas, and Harrison being present will make a huge difference for the D this time around and our offense should be on the field frequently giving the D plenty of rest.
