Zero pass interference calls against Indy this year?!?!?

[oldrover]

Is that true? How is that possible? Do they just play so deep that they don't have to risk it? That's a mind-blowing stat.

it is crazy, but they have allowed a little over 66% completion rate to opposing qb's

Well, when your coach and your GM are both co-chairs of the sub-committees in the Competition Committee, which works closely on a daily basis with the Director of Officiating, which deals with the actual officiating teams, well, how could you expect anything less?

d%#*!@t, I was working on a really cool conspiracy idea, and you went and ruined it with your blasted facts!

 

[PATSNUTme]

The rules are clear: If you knock down, grab, facegaurd, hold, or otherwise interfere with the recievers right to catch the ball, it's pass interference if you don't have a horseshoe on your helmet.

so when we play the colts, can we put manning's face with a horseshoe around his neck on our helmets?

 

[Ring 6]

To me that is actually more a statement of their poor cover skills that an advantage in refereeing.

A good DB will get pi calls. They all get beaten. If you arent close, you cannot interfere.

It also says they are not at all phyical in pass defense.

This will be exploited in the playoffs.

All the talk about the Colt O on turf ignores the fact that they have to cover people on that stuff too.

 

[emoney_33]

If they didn't have a good pass rush, let's say they had as poor as the pats did early in the year, their secondary would have performed worse than ours.

 

[nhpatsfan]

Zero?
ZERO?
It doesn't seem possible.

Observations:

-There were no offensive or defensive pass interference calls on the Colts.

-There were 3 defensive holding calls on defensive backs:

----In Week 1 @ Baltimore, Jason David committed a defensive holding call on 3rd and 7 on an 11 yard completion with 10:38 to go in the 4th quarter. It was declined.

----In Week 10 vs. Houston, Jason David committed a defensive holding call on 2nd and 7 on a 12 yard completion with 8:46 to go in the 4th quarter. It was declined.

----In Week 15 vs. San Diego, Nick Harper committed a defensive holding call on 3rd and 6 on an incompletion with 4:58 to go in the 2nd quarter. It was accepted, giving San Diego 5 yards and a 1st down.

-The Colts committed boat loads of false start and offsides penalties

----Is this due to over-aggressive play, crowd noise, or other factors? Dwight Freeney and Tarik Glenn were the main culprits here. Can this be exploited?

-Peyton Manning committed tons of false start, delay of game, and illegal formation penalties himself

----Can this be exploited?

-The Colts seem to rack up the penalties against physical, tough teams.

----Do they get frustrated with getting physical play from the other team and retaliate?

Observations:

-There were no offensive or defensive pass interference calls on the Colts.

-There were 3 defensive holding calls on defensive backs:

----In Week 1 @ Baltimore, Jason David committed a defensive holding call on 3rd and 7 on an 11 yard completion with 10:38 to go in the 4th quarter. It was declined.

----In Week 10 vs. Houston, Jason David committed a defensive holding call on 2nd and 7 on a 12 yard completion with 8:46 to go in the 4th quarter. It was declined.

----In Week 15 vs. San Diego, Nick Harper committed a defensive holding call on 3rd and 6 on an incompletion with 4:58 to go in the 2nd quarter. It was accepted, giving San Diego 5 yards and a 1st down.

-The Colts committed boat loads of false start and offsides penalties

----Is this due to over-aggressive play, crowd noise, or other factors? Dwight Freeney and Tarik Glenn were the main culprits here. Can this be exploited?

Freeney was handled well by the O-line when they played here in November. Brady may be able to get him with a hard count, but only if we get up early and quiet the crowd so Freeney can hear Tommy. Glenn needs to be focused on Colvin to make him anxious, with Rosie finally getting the reps he needs to resume his rush dominance, and Sey recovered and hitting his peak, we could see Glenn getting antsy as he sits through the Peyton dance.

-Peyton Manning committed tons of false start, delay of game, and illegal formation penalties himself

----Can this be exploited?

The LBs and secondary may be able to disrupt Peyton's timing if they shift and disguise their coverage/blitzs well. This may get a delay of game or two. San Diego's 3-4 defense was able to get to Peyton, with our front seven back to health and peaking in time for the playoffs, we can expect them to be a similar force to be reckoned with. (Hopefully San Diego doesn't make it, they play the closest defense to our own and our 'Dirty Show' disrupts Tommy all the time in practice. That and Brees is used to working against a 3-4...)

With Hawkins assumption of veteran leadership in the secondary, we may see significant improvement in that 'unit'. 'Field Coach' Rodney was the best we've had at putting people where they would do the most good. Hawkins cover skills are an improvement, his size (5-10/190 v 6-1/220) is going to affect his ability to make the same hits Rodney does, but he can still make the tackles. Jacksonville, Indy, Cincy, and Denver don't have the dominating TEs that have given us trouble. Pittsburgh's rookie should be managable. KC and SD are a concern if they make the playoffs, but with the most likely playoff match-ups being home w/Jax and @Indy, we won't be tested by the TE.

----Do they get frustrated with getting physical play from the other team and retaliate?

This is the key, Dungy is trying to instill aggression in his team which, if unchanneled productively, can be exploited by someone de-cleating them on every play. TJ reported they did not have the mental toughness to win in the divisional round game at Foxboro last year. Having their own crowd didn't get them on their toes against San Diego last week - the body language you could see on TV was remarkable for being so defeatist in the first half (I've seen it to a lesser extent happen to the Pats in games like Miami last year and San Diego this year). Peyton is our hero here, his body language sets the tone for the team and even when they came back in the third quarter, his projection of toughness/confidence wasn't there. Thank God for Tommy being someone who thrives on contact and challenge. Indy wasn't through for the season against San Diego, but they showed they don't know how to fight for a difficult goal. If we can get them on their heels, looking at the season slipping away for the annointed once again, that aggression may flow over to penalties. Hit them early and often - only Edge has what it takes and we have the front seven to manage him.

None of the playoff contenders we face measures up to the Patriots when it comes to composure and mental toughness. This team may be questionable in the secondary, but BB may also have found the replacement pieces he needs back there with Hobbs and Hawkins. Technically, TJ was right on the NFL Network last night when he expressed doubt that the secondary may falter in Indy, but the Jets in Joisey, the resurgent Dolphins, and a Wild Card game against Jacksonville or Pittsburgh will go a long way to allowing BB/Mangini/Collier to tune/train their secondary charges and gear up for Indy.

Go Pats!

Excellent work-up Pats1! :singing: For those despondent after TJ rated the Pats' chance of winning in Indy as unlikely, this information reveals that unlikely doesn't mean there's no opportunity. I wonder where we can find a coaching staff capable of exploiting opportunities?

If it was the other way around we'd be saying how good our db's have been. Give them thier due, as a defense they've very well this year regardless if they been called Penaltys or not.

That's really an amazing stat. They DO tend to play soft coverage, though, and I've seen them get beat deep often enough when their pass rush isn't successful to say that it's more a product of soft/poor DB play. What was that stat? 66% completions allowed? That's encouraging for a team who wants to throw the ball! Their linebackers seem to have pretty good hands though...
