Indy game. Base defense the nickel?

[Verdict]

With Indy's inability to run the ball this year, do you think our base defense for this game will be the nickel defense, even on first down?

 

[lspain1]

Addai and Rhodes(sp?) are decent backs and Addai in particular looks like he has a future. I don't think we sit in the nickel.

They also go no-huddle from time to time and I think we might see that often to limit substitutions.

Yea, we must be careful of that LSU rookie

 

[Verdict]

Neither Addai, nor Rhodes has been very successful this year. That doesn't mean they won't be against us, but they have not been very successful running the ball. I am not nearly as worried about defensing the run as I am defensing Indy's passing game.
