| Indy ran a very strange scheme against the Texans. As Manning was throwing 25 passes in the first quarter, their passing game consisted almost entirely of short passes to Dallas Clark against a linebacker and a mix of quick screens and hitches to Joseph Addai. It requires some film study, but that sort of offense screams that there was two-deep coverage to prevent against big plays. Of course, Manning just destroyed the Titans with short gain after short gain, but it will be interesting to see if other teams take the same approach. | |||||||||
