For some reason, a lot of idiots thought he was talking about the receivers. Offenses are "soft" when the O-line cannot line up and play power football. Anyone looking at the Colts' power ranking on the FO stat site knows that those Colts were really pathetic at power running (and had been for years).<BR/><BR/>The Steelers had such disdain for the Colt running game that in the 2d half, they played a lot with only 2 DL, 3LBs, and 6 DBs -- not just in pass situations, but every down (they couldn't expect to situation sub vs. the Colt no huddle). Colts still couldn't run the ball.<BR/><BR/>Steelers used the dime to play a lot of people in coverage the first game. In the playoffs, they decided to use their strength upfront to overwhelm the soft Colt O-line. They did. They physically just kicked ass.<BR/><BR/>The SD game at Indy was the same thing. Anyone with a tape of it need only watch the Colts' first play, an E. James outside stretch run to the right. The Colt right tackle got slammed straight back about four yards off the ball. Not good. Later in the game, notice how a blitzing SD LB bullrushes the Colt LG and drives him out of the picture on a drop back pass (about 10 yds back) before reaching over and pulling Manning down. Total physical domination.<BR/><BR/>Schemes, audibles, draws, screens, and hots can relieve some of the pressure, but it is really tough to win when the offensive line is getting completely dominated by a physical defense.<BR/><BR/><BR/>StanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-73037628454175077522008-07-04T22:02:00.000-04:002008-07-04T22:02:00.000-04:00Thanks for the corrections.
