“Usually, when he sees what it is, he gets to the play he wants to get to and I would say they’ve hit a lot of big plays on plays like that. He sees a blitz, calls a tear screen to Demaryius Thomas and it goes 75 yards for a touchdown. You can be in whatever you want to be in but if they have a play to beat it and it’s well-executed, which it frequently is with Denver, you’re just playing right into their hands. “They’ve waiting all day to run the play against that situation. You tell them, ‘Here we are, we’re going to be in Cover-2 zone, go ahead run your best play.’ Well, they will. We’re going to be in “man-free” or we’re going to be in blitz or we’re going to be in “man-under 2-deep,” what are you going to do about it? Well, they can usually do something about it. I don’t really think anybody has had a lot of success playing that way.

You have to play good team defense,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick explained this week. “That’s all there is to it. It’s not just, ‘Take one guy away in their offense.’ They have a lot of weapons, they execute very well. Peyton does a tremendous job of getting in good plays and making good decisions, taking what’s there, what the defense allows you to have and he’s very, very accurate with the ball. Everybody is just going to have to do their job. You can’t just shut down one guy. I don’t think that will even come anywhere close to stopping them, they have way too many people that will kill you.

Wish we had Dennard for this very purpose…

The Colts contained the Broncos by employing some type of press coverage on around 40 plays. Only once did they use a zone coverage. With the corners jamming Manning’s receivers, he was forced to throw deep, where he’s 21-of-51 this season on passes that travel 20 or more yards through the air. He was 5-of-13 on such passes against the Colts. Injuries in the Colts’ secondary late in the game nearly ended Indianapolis’ hope of upsetting the Broncos as Manning furiously fought back. But even with the late letdown, they showed Denver could be contained. Now the question is whether or not the Patriots defense will be healthy enough to take some elements of Indianapolis’ blueprint and do the same. If Dennard were playing, the answer would likely be yes.
