Rookies and Tomorrows Game

PrintAs you all remember, the Colts problem last year was generating a pass rush on Phillip RIvers and Billy Volek. I know that they havent had much playing time this year, but I have a feeling the Marcus Howard and possibly Curtis Johnson may play critical roles in tomorrows game if we want to win. They showed the ability to generate pressure last week and seemed to have improved since we last saw them extensively in the preseason. If the Colts can force the Chargers to play catch up, look for a rotation between Freeney, Mathis, Howard, and Johnson to keep a consistent rush on Rivers to keep him off balance and to keep our players fresh/

Freeney and Mathis
last year we also didn’t have freeney and a very banged up mathis… This is will a lot different this year. I just hope their field has been fixed so we don’t end up winning but losing guys to bad injuries.
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...
I understand that Freeney was on IR and Mathis was dinged
But I felt in that week 13 match this year, Rivers was still afforded some time in the pocket. Mathis did come up with a clutch sack, strip, fumble, but I think if we include Howard and Johnson, there may be a more consistent rush to keep Rivers under pressure all day

i agree
but at the same time, im a little weary that the DE’s will focus on that sack and let a little screen pass or draw play go for some big yardage. If we can control that, the Colts should be good.

thats why
the Colts should rotate them as situational pass rushers. Dont over use them, but use them from time to time for relief. Something like a third and twelve or something equivalent to that distance.
