Horton: “Peyton Manning is seeing a lot of defenses that are rushing three and dropping eight into coverage because they don’t respect the Colts’ lackadaisical run game. All that coverage really forces Manning to work the ball into tight spots and he does not have a lot of big plays available because he can’t get those good individual matchups to exploit. This defensive ‘sit back’ approach really forces Manning to be patient and work hard for plays — even if he has time to throw the ball.”
Kuharsky’s thinking : Manning will be as patient as required. But obviously the Colts like to get people out of this thinking by running effectively the way they did against the Giants. That will be more difficult if Joseph Addai (neck) isn’t part of things.
