18 to 88, the\u00a0Colts Football Blog, has done a\u00a0Scouting Report on how the NY Giants should get ready for\u00a0Indianapolis this Sunday night.<\/p>\n

\u00a0
We also exchanged our UltimateNYG Scouting Report<\/span><\/a> to their site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On offense:<\/strong>\u00a0 Run. The. Ball.\u00a0 The Colts front four is fast and light.\u00a0 They are designed to rush the passer, and they do so very well.\u00a0 The Colts linebackers were the culprits responsible for the big rushing day by Arian Foster last week.\u00a0 If you can pick them off with strong play from fullbacks and tight ends, you’ll be running free in the secondary.\u00a0 Play action can be very effective, because one of the Colts best run stoppers is corner Jerraud Powers.\u00a0 When passing, you have to max protect against Freeney and Mathis.\u00a0 The Colts love to blitz inside the 20 yard line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Defense:<\/strong>Get pressure on Manning.\u00a0 Nothing else matters.\u00a0 If you give him time, he’ll beat you.\u00a0 The Colts have versatile personnel which are used to create matchup problems.\u00a0 Both Indy tackles are suspect at best, so if you can get heat on Peyton, the offense grinds to a halt. If Manning has time to throw, he’ll look long. Watch Garcon on deep routes, but he has problems with drops, so pressure on the QB can take him out of the game (3 catches on 10 passes last week).\u00a0 If you can find a way to cover Dallas Clark, you neuter the Colts offense.\u00a0 Joe Addai doesn’t have the blocking to succeed in the run game, but he’s a devastating blocker and a real threat out of the backfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Special Teams:<\/strong>Punter Pat McAfee is a weapon, but last week Jim Caldwell elected to punt instead of taking a 51 yard field goal.\u00a0 That signals a serious lack of range by Adam Vinateri.\u00a0 The Colts have terrible coverage units, and are not much of a threat to break long returns.<\/p>\n

Thanks ’18 to 88.’<\/p>\n
