Re: Article: Looks like were gonna come after Manning

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.
Not to start anything, but bro, you just said the exact same thing a few of the Vikings, and the Cards fans said in here, a few weeks ago. I agree that Manning is not Favre, or Warner, but he isn't the most "mobile" QB in the league either. He makes mistakes, just like everybody else. I like Manning, and I think he's a great QB, but he can be gotten too just the same.
