Matchup vs Colts

To beet the Colts we have to controll the ball. We don't have to stop Edge or Manning or Harrison because you just can't shut these guys down. We have to take advantage of the fact that their front 7 are small. Shove it down their throat, and then hit thier suspect secondary with an occasional deep pass. The most important thing is controll the clock, and don't make stupid turnovers on our side of the feild. If Manning and co. are on the sidelines for 40 mins they can't get in a rythym. We have to make them beet our d for 80-70 yards witch is unlikely, we can't give them the ball near the 50. That is almost automatic points for this squad.
 
I think Miami will beat the Colts because the defense is designed to shut down their type of offense. Bend but don't break hurts the Colt's offense because their big plays will be limited.

I do expect to see James to get his yards though. He will use cutback lanes mostly. Miami has to bring a guy down and stop with the arm tackling. That won't work against Edge. Containment is the key and watch for the cutbacks.

Don't forget that Edge is also a huge key in the passing game. He will go just as deep as some WRs...so we need to keep a guy on him who can cover.
