Rotating linemen keeps Bolts fresh
- Acee

great article about how the defensive front 7 are switching things up and the DL are keeping fresh.

None can replace Jamal Williams, and the DL is going to be a pressure point all year. If this is the strategy for the whole season (and I think it has to be), the Colts become a team I definitely DO NOT want to see in the playoffs (God willing), despite the Bolts’ recent success against them. No one gets into the hurry-up to quell substitutions like Peyton Manning.

The Chargers have not been able to stop the run for the last two+ seasons. And that was with Jamal, Luis, and Igor healthy. I actually felt pretty good about how we did against the giants last Sunday and I’m hopefull that we may have found the answer in the middle in this three headed monster.

As for me, there is no one I would rather see in the playoffs than the colts. I think we match up very well against them. Plus, because of the rule changes, an offense actually has to give the defense time to substitute if the offense substitutes. As long as we can keep Cro from staring blankly at the stands while Harrison catches TDs behind him I’ll take our chances with the colts.

Reggie Wayne.

And I agree.

We're boned.

The Colts don't substitute when running the hurry-up

that’s the point.

right

but their normal offense is usually no-huddle, but not really hurry-up, and they do sub in various packages.

I don’t think the colts are in a true hurry up any more than anyone, even though they are in a no-huddle more than most.

Can't run the hurry-up the whole game.

They did it for the first quarter or so against the Texans, and then got gassed and didn’t score again until there was only a few minutes left in the game.

We're boned.
