Week 15 preview

week 15 preview
Category: Sports

Farewell Kelley Washington. May the squirrel live on another day, probably in another NFL city. Enter Skylar Green. A speedster from LSU who may return kicks for us. Too bad Ahmad Brooks has fallen into inactivity due to his lack of enthusiasm for special teams. Good thing Jeanty has played so well recently. Deltha O'Neil is slipping away from this team and I wouldn't be shocked to see him go somewhere else next year. Hopefully he can turn it around and become the pro-bowler we've become used to seeing.

This week is about clock control. You've read that by now. I saw a stat that said something like when Rudi runs 25 times, the Bengals are 17-0. Not bad. He's a bruiser who has potential for 150 yds. against a notebly soft rush defense. It would be nice to avoid a shootout because I think our defense is better than theirs right now. Not having Dallas Clark or Brandon Stokely really helps those third down and red zone situations. I expect Indy to play the pass and only bring guys up when Rudi continues to gash them for 6 or more yds. a carry. That sounds contradictory to what I just mentioned but the Colts dont wanna give up long touchdowns through the air so I would assume they'll give Rudi some room, at least early on. Either way, our offense has the capability to control this game and that's what will win this game. Control, not dynamic, big play, quick strike attacks through the air.

There's no reason to lose this game. The only thing that worries me is the fact Indy has struggled recently and no doubt want to make a statement Monday night. We're the best we've been all year, and the players really seem focused (on the field), and I think Marvin's mantras are finally taking affect on such an impressionable group of youngsters. He has to be team psychiatrist as well as head decision maker and that's gotta be tough on anybody. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be blitzing Manning too much because the thinking is, he's just too smart to really effectively pressure, but I disagree. If you let a brainiac QB sit back and find open guys he'll have no problem destroying our lame zone coverage. I wanna see Dex fly around the blind-side edge and sack the shit out of #18. Send Caleb up the middle. Do something!

A win puts us in. A loss isn;t the end of the world but we dont need more setbacks. The NFL is about riding momentum and we're surfin it like Bodie from Point Break. Cowabunga.
