Thanks Colt fan. I'm glad you found us. I can honestly say I have no ill feelings toward the Colts or their fans whatsoever. I look forward to a great matchup between 2 great teams.

Colt84, what would you say is Indy's greatest weakness or vulnerability going into this matchup with the Saints?

Without question, running the ball. However, we have been able to get yards running when we absolutely have to (which has been the difference between this season and the previous two). I just miss the days of Edge and Addai's first season when we were a power running team.

Our secondary looked a little questionable during the Jets game (like Braylon getting that 60 or 80 yard touchdown pass), but that was probably due to Powers being out. Regardless, our secondary has been pretty tough all year so I am not concerned too much with that.

What is your answer to that question with the Saints?

Defense;
The Saints run defense has allowed alot of yards on the ground this year. Especially when the opponent spreads the defense and gets a back around the corner on a pitchout or delay handoff. Another vulnerability is our young CB Tracy Porter. Although he has been clutch with big plays he has also gotten beat plenty. I can see Peyton throwing to his side alot.

Offense;
When they're on, they're on. Give Brees 2.5+ seconds in the pocket and he'll march the ball. If a defense can put the Saints in 3rd and long situations they're going to win some of those battles and cause the offense to sputter. But realize that doesn't happen often.

Colts and Saints matchup pretty close when you weigh it all out. But IMO, I think the Saints have a slight edge because even though our defense can give up alot of yardage, they also create fumbles and INT's at an alarming rate. Especially when all our defensive starters are on the field.
