The National Football Post looks at some common Indy plays
Reading the QB: Another aspect to the free safety position. Don’t be a fish. What I mean by that is only come out of your pedal when the QB throws the ball. You have to know the difference between the pump and the QBs actual throwing motion. Players will study this on tape throughout the week, but with Manning, he is one of the best at “moving the free safety” to where he wants him to go — and making a play.
As we can see, these are not complex schemes by the Colts — but they are effective because of Manning. His ability to know what the defense is playing is a key to his game. Force the defense to show its hand and make the throws that produce points.
