I don't think our linebackers should be covering TE's all game. I know it's important that we have two safeties deep so having a safety cover is also out of the question. Do you guys think we should be going nickel package and just have Nate cover guys like Daniels and Clark?

Clearly lawson can't passrush so he better be able to cover. Where is J.peterson when you need him? Oh yeah, in Seattle.

we go nickel and they stay in base formation they'll run it all day.

Good question, we need to take away Clark being he is Peytons security blanket, if we take away the middle of the field and play the run hard, I like our chances in this game.
were gonna need Goldson and Roman to pick up the slack this weekend, they are the keys to slowing down the Colts offense

The answer is nobody. who cares if Manny has a fast .40 he can't cover TE's in this league. 99% of linebackers can't vcover the good TE's in this league That's why you see so many good TE's. As great as VD is playing he's in a dogfight wiht like 5 other TE's just in the NFC. You need a great safety and to really check a TE. Niners don't have thus TE's keep eating them alive. But the safety would need help from linebackers also. At the point Daniels was killing them the whole team should have been checking him.

This is post number 300 for Mospeed.
Maybe we should go nickel on passing downs then? Even if it's a 2wr 1te set? I bet Sing and Man are thinking the same thing. Clements wouldn't be that horrible at the OLB spot if Indy decides to run on a passing down.

1. Clements got burned by daniels
2. Clements not being that horrible at OLB if they decide to run.... no, just no

Well it'll be interesting to see what we do this week because I don't think we have a backer who can run with Clark.

Lawson has shown he can cover... Hopefully he'll be able to do a good job of that this weekend.

Nate should be manned up on Clark cause he's better than most cb's when close to the line of scrimage if Clark stays in to block. Spencer is playing deadly and should be manned up on Wayne.
