SDR: It’s interesting that you mention Rivera’s strategy during that Steeler’s drive. Look back at the Colts – Bears Super Bowl (Rivera was the Bear’s defensive coordinator) and see if spot any similarities. He failed to pressure Manning during that game and Peyton chewed that defense up.
The coaches that prevail are the ones that not only meticulously game plan, but also take risks as well.
It’s like the old joke about the “Prevent” Defense: It only prevents you from winning! Football is not a game for the cautious or faint of heart.
Conrad Dobler. Man, that is a blast from the past. What a nasty SOB he was.
