Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - It's F-ing Colts Week

I'm new here just wanted to post a few of what I see as the keys to the game and then see what you all think.
#1 we have to pressure Manning without blitzing, if we can not reach him with 3 lineman and either Carter or Orakpo rushing we are in for a long day, Peyton picks secondary apart on blitzes.
#2 With Freeney and Mathis going up against whoever we put out there (praying TW gets healthy enough to be out there and be effective) roll outs and quick drops in the passing game are going to be the only way to keep McNabb upright, so I'd look for Cooley to have a good game
#3 Freeney and Mathis are actually better against the run than people give them credit for since they can crash down the line so quickly, so no hesitation running no stutter steps, just one step and then downhill running. I think (though we dont have enough evidence yet) that Torain is this kind of runner.
#4 is our return game, we NEED something big out of Banks again this week.

I really like our chances in this game if we can do 2 or 3 of the above 4 points well, remember Colts receivers tend to get alligator arms with a big hitter in the secondary and they will be seeing LL in their nightmares all week!
