IMHO is the Bears are to win this game two things must happen. One is the the defense MUST rush and get pressure up the middle of the Oline. They will have three new starters in including the new center. This will force Manning to roll out of the pocket into the arms of O-gun,Brown and the fleet foot Anderson. Make him use the bum knee he has. You have go to send a blitz at him when he's in the shotgun. Line up in the cover two and play man to man, with Tillman on Harrison and Vasher on Wayne. Brown can cover the slower clark and Payne/McGowan/manning the slot WR if you do this then Peyton will be in trouble!!

 

Second we need to play old school football and pound the ball at the defense side where Mathis plays. He's only like 250 or something. Line up in the two TE formation, motion the other TE to his side and run the toss that way. The short passing game will work with the tall TE'S also.

Agree and also while we are talking about getting pressure up the middle. The defense MUST NOT lose outside contain. Indy has a much better offensive coordinator than we do and will likely run more plays to the outside knowing that interior blocking may be questionable. I don't want us so focused on pressure inside only to get beat all day on the outside. We didn't do well with outside contain during the preseason.
