Definitely a week to week league but I definitely don't hope for the same game plan. On offense, we attacked the Cardinals with screens, RPOs, and a very steady dose of All Day. We needed to because they're incredibly aggressive and Chandler Jones represents one of the truly great pass rush threats in the NFL. The Colts are completely different - no pass rush threat, no secondary to speak of, etc. This game plan on offense should feature a lot of All Day but a ton of downfield attack coming off the play action fake. The WRs and Reed especially should strap up and get ready for a big day.

On defense I'm not feeling as willing to let Montae and DJ creep up quite so far to the line of scrimmage. The Cards have Larry Fitz and you had to watch him a bit, but TY Hilton is much faster and represents a serious deep threat. The front should be able to stop the run pretty easily in this game, but we'll need to be aggressive in rushing the passer to disrupt Luck. It's the only way they'll score points. Take away the deep ball - don't let Hilton get behind you, and do all that's necessary to get in Luck's face.
