As a Colts fan, I really hope that he tries. That is exactly the wrong way to defend us. Manning has seen Gregg Williams defenses before. Hell, he was in our division. We've already played the Ravens and Jets defenses in the playoffs. Gregg Williams isn't going to figure out how to effectively pressure Manning and, more, Gregg Williams knows this.

The best way to play us is to keep everything underneath and make us drive the field by picking up 4 or 5 first downs. We can do that too, but it's alot easier to screw something up and sometimes Manning isn't patient enough to not take a deep shot even when it's not there.

If you're blitzing us, two things will happen:

1. 90% of the time you won't get to Manning anyway. If, by chance, someone misses a protection, Manning just lays down so you won't be getting these big hits anyway. Check our last 2 games. 3 times when protection was blown, Manning sees it and lays down before the defender even touches him.

2. There will be receivers open downfield.

Gregg Williams knows this. I think he's just blowing smoke to try to make the Colts plan for the wrong thing. I'm not sure it's an effective strategy but Manning calls everything at the line of scrimmage anyway so everything will be determined at that time no matter what they think is coming beforehand.
