Did Indy over blitz against Vick?
Credit Vick as a special athlete who has upped his passing game considerably and acknowledge the injury situation as it forced a guy like Townsend into a NB spot. But still, I would argue that these were two very costly defensive breakdowns that could have been avoided had Coyer not been so eager to blitz. Given the defenders the Colts had and their limitations, I don’t think blitzing was wise in either case. It would have been much more sensible to drop a spy into zone coverage and let the front four do their work. I like my chances of Vick throwing into heavy defensive coverage (seven defenders against three receivers) much better than my chances of Vick having 30 yards of open field in front of him. Maybe if it’s Kerry Collins, you take that chance. But not against Vick.
