Cowboys' blitz or Indy's scheme?

[ZeroClub]

Question: The Cowboys got good pressure yesterday. So we Dallas fans credit the Cowboys for the pressure and spend time analyzing how they brought it.

But how much of the pressure was due to the Indy scheme?

It wasn't my impression that the Colts went into max-protect mode. It seemed like their plan was to stay wide-open and stubbornly attempt to beat the blitz that was beating them ....

Thoughts?

I think both teams played a very good and intense game. Both teams seemed to make adjustments as the game went along but in the end it was 2 good teams playing a very good ball game.

We rarely got pressure in other games, even when teams were not in max-protect mode..

See my separate comment re JJT of DMN comment on Mike & Mike about players wanting an aggressive game plan instead of the coaching staff insistence on a conservative game plan. Players won out this time and showed up big. Will Parcells continue allow this kind of play or pull in reins occasionally depending on who we play?
