Re: *** Official Steelers vs Colts Thread ***
Keys to the second half for the Steelers :
Defense -
1)Keep up the pressure on Manning. He's a rhythm thrower and anytime you can disrupt that, it's good.
2)Contain Edge. He can get some yards here and there but don't let him break off any big runs.
3)Keep letting up those little over-the-middle passes and no deep balls. Just have to tackle a little better on those short passes.
Offense -
1)I bolded this because it is huge, GET THE RUN GAME GOING! The run game has been horrible so far, and while Ben has played great, you can't expect him to carry you. That's not Steelers football and that's not how you'll win the game.
2)Keep the PA passes going. They've seemed to work great so far and eventually, they'll open up some running lanes.
3)Contain Freeney a little better (easier said than done). There's no chance of double team, Marvel just needs to play a better half.
