If you were Cowher, would you blitz Manning? That's the one thing I can't decide what Pittsburgh should do.

Yes and no, erroring more on no.
I don't think a constant blitz can rattle Manning, or even get to him (since he does have one of the best O lines in football).
I think you got to use the blitz to throw him off rhythm at key times in the game. Focus mainly on dropping your men into coverage, letting up some short over-the-middle garbage, but taking away any deep ball, big play gains.
The one drawback of a defense like this is Edge will have some early room to run. It's going to be key to make those first contact tackles and really rely on Troy for run support while also making sure no deep balls get behind him.
Sounds quite easy, doesn't it? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
