Interesting notes from Thursday
The Colts’ running game: When the Colts can get into their “Ace” or 212 personnel (2 WR, 1 RB, 2 TE) and run the ball to the slot side with production it will set up their play action passing game. RB Joseph Addai looked fresh in my opinion, and we saw that on the first play of the game where he was able to cut back against the Packers over-pursuing to the football. They need that as an offense in the regular season—and need to see production from it.
Wayne vs. Williams: Packers’ CB Tramon Williams can learn a lot from this tape. He struggled against Colts’ WR Reggie Wayne. The slant for the TD when he was beat inside. The “9” route (fade route) when the Colts were backed up. And, when he had his eyes in the backfield on the out-and-up in the red zone that Manning missed on. However, the reason he got beat had more to do with technique than ability at the corner position. Simple things he can see once he turns on the film and can correct before the regular season.
