Should have played more press and let the line get to Luck, but it looked like Austin was happy to give some cushion and let hem have he little stuff, just not give up the big shots.
Winner! Ding! Ding! Ding!
You nailed it! Teryl Austin dialed up a “man over” defense where Andrew Luck could have the slants and short out routes but the longer routes were taken away by the safeties over the top. It’s frustrating to watch because it looks like the defense is getting owned but in actual fact it turns touchdowns into field goals.
