    Well, they can't exactly double everyone "and" stack the box. You may be able to get away with helping on DW considering he's starting so close to the o-line.

    If they plan on doubling Wright, shadowing Walker, and stacking the box, yeah... not enough players to do that. They'll have to pick their poison. If I were them I'd just let Vontae defend Wright one on one, shadow Walker, and stack the box. If this happens, Wright will have to show what he's worth, and our other receivers (Tajae/Matthews) will have to step up and make some plays. But this Colts D is worse than Clevelands IMO, so even if they do stack the box, I still see us being able to run the ball with better efficiency than last week, and don't forget about the QB keepers!! They were open a lot more than we used it last week. Should be a lot of room for MM to take off.

    Also, I should have added, yes it's important to us fans to have a game that matters when we are heading into a week 7 game, as opposed to the past when we are on here already talking about the draft.

    But man, what a game it is for these players and do they ever deserve it. 3-3, a chance to take down a divisional foe who has had our number for years, a chance to be above .500 after 7 weeks, and then another huge divisional game on Thursday night football, that "If and ONLY if" we take care of business Sunday, could put us in a spot we haven't been in since I can remember.

    First thing is obviously first. Take care of the Colts today. (Eastern time zone here so it's 1:30, today for me!). As a fan of a team that has a bright future (offensive line, quarterback, running back, GREAT draft picks set up for next year, etc), to be able to play in a meaningful game like this in week 7, this is fantastic. I hope the boys are as excited as I am! We ended the home field curse, we needed the two victories in a row curse, we ended the opening drives with out a TD curse. Time to end the Andrew Luck curse! I want to see Luck on the ground as much as possible! Front 7, make sure Luck knows he'll be getting hit all day long!

    Let's go!!!!

    Funny that some of their posters are "Hoping" our players are as cocky and over confident as our media.

    Whoever feels cocky about this team right now in the media... goodness.

    It's one thing to ride a wave of momentum, but it's another to feel over confident and "cocky" about our games moving forward. That means "ANY" games. We just aren't there. We aren't at the stage or close to it IMO that we should ever go into a game thinking "Should be an easy win if we take care of business". We just don't have the roster for that yet.

    Ride the wave of momentum, and feed off the under dog role. That should be the only story going through media wise.

    Surely this is just some Colts fans trying anything to do feel as if this would be some huge under dog Victory.

    Aren't we the ones that haven't beaten the colts in 5 seasons? With a horrible home record dating back to the beginning of the 2014 season, the team that's been rebuilding for "YEARS". Sorry, this isn't political media. Can't spin this off the way you wish. Titans fans and players know that there's no game on the schedule this season that we should feel "over confident" or "Cocky" about.
