Wells and Hightower did not do a lot against San Fran.  They did much better against JAX only 22 attempts?  Only 15 attempts the week before despite Wells averaging 4-6 YPP in both those games.

 

Common sense would dictate that a run oriented game with Warner slinging to some good WRs would be a winning match here against an INDY D that is on a short week and was on the field for 45 minutes last week.

 

If ARI looked more committed to running the ball, which they had success with in JAX last Sunday, then I would love ARI here.  But they seem too pass happy.  And we all know what happens if Manning is on the field too long.

 

ARI would be smart to run the ball.  But will they?  Right now I cannot tell and I just don't really have a feel for this game at the moment.

 

By the way, you take away the second quarter in that ARI/JAX game and it is a game.  ARI only had 7 in the second half.

If you look at the play by play in the ARI JAC game, they used the pass to set up the run not the other way around.

Talk about a suspect statistic and a faulty assumption. Indy played Garrard and Pennington. Garrard has no dominant WRs and plays it pretty safe. Pennington has a noodle arm and ONLY plays it safe. Also in the last game Miami ran it so much you would think it was the wishbone all over again.

Arizona will pass much more than these two teams. Warner is by far the best QB of the three and the same goes for the WR corp. It is not even close. And Indy faces the dominant elevation in level of opposition at these two vital areas at the same time. The stats you bandy about now could potentially be changed so much that someone else is talking about how Indy has a bad passing D for giving up so many big plays the very next weekend!
