If you don't bring help he will dominate any corner in the nfl.
The colts and pats game is going to be a good game. I Live like 20 minutes from the stadium, so i have a pretty good feel for the team. The only way the colts beat the pats is, the pats make mistakes. The cover two is predicated on having intelligent athletic linebackers. Right now... the colts linebacker corp is in shambles. While it will be fine against teams that don't have 3 talented recievers, it's going to struggle against an accurate qb who has weapons. If the colts can force a few turnovers they have a shot at the game. If not, someone besides manning and his receivers will have to play out of their mind for us to win.

I believe there's really only one way to beat the Colts: jump them early so their defense has to defend the run and not just go after the QB. Over the past 3 years, there's only a few teams that have had any luck against the Colts: the Chargers, Jags, and Steelers in the playoffs. The Titans also have had a few solid games against them. All did it the same way; jump on them early, then pound the ball...run, run run against their D. The Colts D is undersized but very quick, which is perfect for their artificial turf and perfect when you have a QB who can put the opposition behind almost any time he wants. When the opposition falls behind, they abandon the run, and play right into the hands of the Colts.
While I think the Colts are more than capable of winning that game against the Pats in Indy, I think they will go down this Monday night in J-ville.
