What if we become like the Colts where people play nickel against us the majority of the time?

How sweet that would be. . .

Against Denver he will. Man to man coverage on the outside.

I fear we will see the Donkees in the playoffs this season...

There will be no need for 8 in the box. He'll be subluxed by week 2 when the Chargers turn out the lights ;)

Well that's the beauty of it. Champ may be able to take out Moss or Stallworth but Dre Bly will struggle against the other. Then there's Watson and Welker.

This ain't the 2006 Patriots, Shanahan.

You don't think Bly can cover Stalworth?? I hope not, but I see the Donkees making just as many key offseason moves as the Pats have done.

Bly is overrated and gets beat deep a lot

Dre Bly love has taken on a life of it's own this year. He's a solid guy but he's getting up there in years now and certainly doesn't have Stallworth's speed.

Regardless, the beauty is that when we played Denver last year Ben Watson was our best receiver. How things have changed.

Bly is older..and hes not known as a speed corner..hes known for making plays but Bly trying to run stride for stride with Stallworth? No..thats why a safety will be over the top. I saw Champ nearly get beat by Moss twice in their 2nd meeting and if Champ played zone..they made sure where Moss was that 2 players were around (endzone specifically i remember)

if Denver respects Stallworth-Moss..then they will definatley not bring a safety in box

I agree 100%. Maroney with less pressure and a zone blocking scheme?

He could make ridiculous progress this year.
