No. Probably not. At any rate, Eyes in the Backfield is read for this week. Take a peek:
Other than Bob Sanders’ absence killing the defense, we were pretty happy with how last week’s Eyes turned out. This week the Horse faces the toughest test left on it’s regular season slate: the San Diego Chargers. With both teams fighting for potentially the same playoff berth, Sunday’s prime time clash should be true test of Indy’s progress. This week watch out for:
1. Watch for 300. Manning has gone over three hundred yards in his last three games against San Diego, and went over 400 last January. The Chargers have one of the worst pass defenses in football, so it stands to reason that Manning is going to pile up the numbers. He’s gotten on a roll in recent weeks, and there seems to be no reason to think that will stop this week.
2. Watch Cromartie. Thanks to a bizarre set of circumstances in San Diego last year (including rain, hurt linemen, and something called a Craphonso) Manning threw 6 picks, 3 to Antonio Cromartie. Cromartie used that game to springboard himself to the Pro Bowl with 10 picks on the season. Whether teams have wised up to him, or he’s having a down year, he only has 2 picks this season. Because of the connection with Manning, he’ll be in spotlight Sunday night.
For more…you know the drill.
UPDATE: Bob is out. Suck.
