Run the damn football!

The Colts are ripe for the picking if we just pound the ball down their freaking throats. We're a team right now that is perfectly built for playing smashmouth. We have a physical OL and very nice depth at RB. So what's the problem?

I kind of agree with you. However, let's say they can run the football on the Colts. I assume they can. The big problem is gonna be that they can't cover Harrison and Wayne OR stop Rhodes and Addai. So, then you have to go to the pass at some point. Where are they then?

If we can establish the run and grind out the clock, it will keep Manning and company off the field most of the game.

in a game like that... if we can't stop the pass, and they cant stop the run... we win.

we control the clock. We control the timing of the game. Not EVERY pass will be complete, so they won't always be moving forward. If we CAN move forward on every play we will dominate, but we cannot abandon the run game because they jump out on top quickly and we go 3-out on our first posession.

We're too busy running 547 different variations of the screen pass.

I do agree with the need to pound the Colts. But to say they're ripe for the picking is a gross overstatement. If they're ripe for the picking on the ground, then we're WAAAY ripe for the picking through the air.

What do you think Peyton is going to do to our secondary in his house with no crowd noise? [shudder]

They're 5-0 but a very shaky 5-0. The same Titans that took us down took them to the brink. I call that ripe for the picking. If we can go in there and control the ball and clock and keep our pathetic D off the field as much as possible, we have a chance.
