Hobbs and Samuel have struggled against Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne, and our safeties -- while playing fairly well -- are stopgap guys. Then there's Dallas Clark and that pesky Utrecht to account for. I'm wondering what alchemy BB might have up his sleeve for this game; perhaps more nickle and dime than usual to prevent one-on-ones from occurring? I'm leery of us getting torched. Mickens and Chad Scott might be pivotal in this game.
The reason I think it comes down to our secondary is because I think we'll do a reasonable job of containing Addai, yet our pass rush hasn't wreaked much havoc with the Colts' offensive line the last couple games. They do a great job of protecting Manning. We need to somehow disrupt Manning's timing and get him to hesitate, and I think the onus is on our defensive backfield scheme.
