Indy came out with 2 Tight Ends which was smart since it dictated our base run defense be on the field with Michael Johnson and not our pass rush defense. When we got behind though out the first half it's why we didn't generate much pressure. In the second half we adjusted and basically threw caution to the wind since we were behind and brought out the nickel pass rush team with a lot of Glasgow, Lawson, and Willis. As a side note it's awesome we have a deep rotation because Luck was on pace for 90 plays.
But once we got the lead the pass rush line was way more effective. This also shows other teams and ourselves why getting out to a lead will be imperative for this team. We do not want Michael Johnson on the field if possible, he sucks.
I also thought it was an odd choice to put Nickerson in the game instead of Vigil/Evans or Rey on run stops. It makes we wonder why Rey is on this team because Nickerson is not much more than a teachers pet. He is not particularly fast or athletic. With that said, he did okay and only had a few errors. I guess they realized how horrible Rey is in coverage.
The corners played well. They played a deep zone coverage so Luck didn't beat them over the top. Evans screwed up on the Ebron TD, or just got beat, not sure.
