Let's be clear about the Colts and our D
Yea, they kinda sucked stopping the run in the regular season (21st overall, 32nd rushing, 2nd passing, 23rd overall).
But they were OFF-THE-CHAIN good in the postseason (1st overall, 2nd rushing, 2nd passing, 2nd scoring).
The D that won the Super Bowl wasn't the same D that got them through the regular season. For example, Dwight Freeney all-of-a-sudden looked like a run stopping animal once the January football started.
I don't think we can hold up Indy as the model of a team that can show up without their D and win it all. Truth is, once the win-or-go-home season started, their D showed up big time.

Re: Let's be clear about the Colts and our D
Yeah...and unfortunately I honestly doubt our D (this year's) had the talent and passion they had. I know its the post season and people get excited, but I just would've had my doubts with our D stepping up like the Colts' D did.

Re: Let's be clear about the Colts and our D
They really came around after Bob Sanders returned from injury. The guy is a catalyst and obviously makes everybody around him better. We could seriously benefit from adding a hard hitting, playmaking, difference maker like him at SS.

Jon Alston, perhaps?

We can speculate all we want. But you never know what will happen in the sudden death of the playoffs. Just wanted to muddy the water alittle. Originally Posted by Varg6

Re: Let's be clear about the Colts and our D
I would definitely like to see a hard hitting SS like we once had in Toby Wright.

Re: Let's be clear about the Colts and our D
Not to discredit your point, HU...
But last time I checked, Indy's playoff opponents included a KC team that never got a chance to utilize its bread-and-butter running game thanks to a terrible performance by Trent Green and his receivers, Baltimore, and Chicago.
No doubt, the Indy D stepped it up: but I think it had more than a little to do with the offense of their competition.

Good point. Also It's not like they stopped the Bears from running. Jones went over a 100 yards. Grossman just played so poorly that they didn't get to run the ball that often.
