With Ellis out and the Colts coming to town Sunday we have a problem.
How do we generate a pass rush without Ellis in the lineup?
I remember the zone blitzes used by the Steelers/Pats in past victories were the answer.
The blitzes were not all the time and always from different angles.
Besides Ware I feel Roy will be our best weapon.
We need to establish him as a blitzer and then bring pressure from different people and angles.
The steeler used LB's and DB's equally when using this tactic, because speed is required to beat Manning reads.
I am not saying all out blitz fest just a mixture to keep Manning off balance.
Any thoughts?

We will find a way to still bring the heat through more disguised and creative blitzing. Parcells knows this will be a shootout anyhow.

just gotta mix it up and keep showing him new looks

I agree. I think Manning is too good to give him just 1 look. Dallas has t mix things up
