    1) play a 2-5-4 defense with three additional rushers coming from the linebackers and at times a safety. Westerman, Eric Smith and Igidito sp, will play important roles here. Other times we can send a sixth rusher and they need to have most of the pressure coming up the middle early to rattle Manning.

    2) On offense of course we must run because that is what we do best and that is how we can keep the ball away from Manning but we need to use either Clowney, Brad Smith or Woodhead to run 8 5 to 7 yard curls like Wes Welker. If we do this a couple times early they can no longer play 8 in the box and if they do and we hit on a pass, one broken tackle and it is 7 points.

    3) We need to try a few fly and patterns when we have Edwards and Clowney one on one. I am telling you, we are going to score on a bomb and there are going to be passing lanes open since they are going to focus on stopping the run.

    4) Throw at least five screen passes to Greene and Woodhead

    5) Run Brad Smith on the wildcat to see if it works. I would also fake off it the second or third time and hit a 15 yard corner pattern to see if it can break for 7.

    6) Last but not least hit Manning early, hard and often. We need to get Manning to play like the Giants line in 07 made Brady play. Both of them are great when they have time but they both hate to get hit and turn into regular guys when there is a rush.

    Clowney has been inactive both games in the postseason.

    I'd be willing to bet that we see him tomorrow.

    Clowney was active against the Colts in week 16, so it's possible we see him this week. I don't want to speculate on which roster spot he will take, but it seems like Rex picks his personnel based on the opponent and game plan. Most likely Clowney will probably be inactive, but there is a chance

    Maybe Mulligan's unless he is absolutely necessary on special teams.

    Just talked to Rex, they installed the gameplan earlier this week. Too late.

    on 3rd and longs put all your cover men on the field. ALL of them. have one or two of them corner blitz and chase manning around the pocket.

    seriously the way hes been passing the ball we need to confuse the hell out of him.

    man we need to bring it

    Fly in Nate Kaeding to replace the Colts kicker.

    Seriously though, same exact game plan as last week.
    Play great defense and force mistakes.
    Hang around.
    Win turnover battle.
    No mistakes on special teams.
    Sanchez is going to have to make a few plays at crucial times.
    Run the ball till they submit.

    Do that and I could see it happening.

    Good luck.

    1) I guess you're counting Ihedigbo and Smith as linebackers? I like the idea of having three safeties on the field, maybe even six DB's in more than a couple situations, but two linemen? That won't work.

    2) We just aren't a three wide receiver team, and Danny Woodhead is just not Wes Welker. Eight three wide sets to start out the game? Doubtful.

    3) Yes, absolutely. Sanchez needs to take a shot deep. Clowney shouldn't see the field. I like the guy, he just doesn't have a role in this offense.

    4) Bad idea. If there is one thing I haven't seen us do well, it's HB screens. And if there's one thing the speedy Colts defense does well, it's defend HB screens.

    5) Eeeh, I get the idea, but I just don't think this is the game for Smith to start getting fancy. A few options, sure, but let Mark take his shots and let Smith run the ball.

    6) Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Take a look at the "Divisional Round: Peyton Manning highlights" video on nfl.com. There's about 14 Manning plays on there. 12 of them show the Ravens rushing four or less.

    Well. One prime rule, by the courtesy of Al Davis:

    Are you trying to give the game to us?

    You would never get a chance to touch Peyton, because if he sees that then we are running the ball and going to get huge chunks of yards doing it.
