Yes, you can run on the Colts — the whole football world knows that. But they are such a swarming defense. They are undersized and fast and quick and they run to the football just like Tony Dungy taught them. But what new defensive coordinator Larry Coyer has brought to the Colts is a blitz package that has made this team a tad more aggressive. It has paid dividends already and I think it will against the Saints, too.
New Orleans is caught up in the hype of getting there, and that’s fine. This city deserves to feel good and be happy. Life hasn’t been so grand in the Gulf Coast region.
But, unfortunately, the good story doesn’t always win in the end. The best team wins. And right now the Colts are the best team. They proved it all season, except when Bill Polian and rookie coach Jim Caldwell decided to bench the starters and rest for the playoffs. Otherwise, the Colts haven’t lost a game that really mattered all year long. They won’t lose the Super Bowl, either.
