about the QB draw.
And frequently not making it. Pressure the offene creates to be agressive on the other team.so teams are just going for it on 4th down against the Colts every game?
No doubt. But was curious if what I noticed was the truth.Can't argue with the results though.A few observations:
Does Indy run right all day long?
Manning does not survey the whole field. Seems like he is looking at his primary guy from the getgo and will check off to one other guy but that's it. He'll throw it away after that. Maybe that's why he is able to avoid a lot of sacks and injuries.
Edge for 9.
That stat sure looks legit.
IMO from what I've seen compared to other backs, I'd say very.Why does Edge so rarely get long runs? Is he slow?
lolcould come in handy when you start to
lolAnd Balboa is down!!! He might not get up from this one!!!
They mostly run stretch plays that are designed for 5-15 yds. D's can recover on those types of plays easier. He doesn't bust many up the middle, but when he does it is when he picks up is big gains.Why does Edge so rarely get long runs? Is he slow? What's the deal?
Colts' D doing well in general tonight. I confess I'm impressed.Colts D doing a great job on draws and screens tonight. Usually that is a weak point of their D.
And likely they run him a lot when other team is in cover 2 type zone meaning the db can recover at that 6-9 yard range.Why does Edge so rarely get long runs? Is he slow? What's the deal?
Yes, he's pretty slow. In fact he never did have much speed.As I've said for at least a year or so now, his best asset is that he's a very smart runner. Stays low, good vision, etc. He won't blow by people w/a speedy 50 yd run or amaze you by bowling people over, but he's still a very good RB.Why does Edge so rarely get long runs? Is he slow?

Yes, he is so unspectacular, but probably one of the top 5 RBs in football.Yes, he's pretty slow.

... who led the league in combined yards coming into this week. I'm really surprised he hasn't had a pass tonight. He's been open out of the backfield a number of times, but Peyton keeps throwing farther downfield.Yes, he is so unspectacular, but probably one of the top 5 RBs in football.Yes, he's pretty slow.

Hasn't been as much since the knee injuries. He use to get a lot of looks on the outside, but not anymore.... who led the league in combined yards coming into this week.

Yeah, that's what's crazy to me--how he almost always gets 100 yards rushing and averages 4 to 5 ypc despite not breaking off the long ones. Most backs need the long ones to keep their ypc respectable.Of course, like someone said, the Colts passing attack helps.... who led the league in combined yards coming into this week.

More believable than HarperDavid made a great play
I'd say he and Plummer rely on a strong running game more than any other QBs in football.Wow, Roethlisberger sure is garbage without the benefit of a strong running game. Eesh, he's even worse than I thought.
Oh cmon, David is easily their worst cover guy. wtf w/not starting Jackson anyway? He hurt?More believable than HarperDavid made a great play
That's what I heard.so - last 100 yard rusher versus Pitt was . . .Willie green??
Yep. Only thing quick is the initail burst. He has a great burst to get into the hole.Edge is so patient.
Man, Harper has been killing us for years! I think we should have gotten rid of either of them and moved Brashir over to CB. Not sure about Marlin.Oh cmon, David is easily their worst cover guy. wtf w/not starting Jackson anyway? He hurt?More believable than HarperDavid made a great play
AMENPeyton, throw Wayne a bone.
Bashir was an overrated wuss who was never healthy (like most of our secondary). buh-bye PITMan, Harper has been killing us for years!

Brilliant...Peyton, throw Wayne a bone.
Hardly.His offensive line has played terrible (specifically Essex and Starks), he's missed the last 3 games, and his WRs after Ward aren't very good.Wow, Roethlisberger sure is garbage without the benefit of a strong running game. Eesh, he's even worse than I thought.
Yes.Particularly since those extra yards from Parker just ruined my undefeated season. Stupid Jamie Martin.Its kinda sad how the Steelers continue to run the ball. Why not just walk off the field.
