On the good side, I love our linebackers covering Dallas...and he has been their top receiver in the playoffs.
Been reading my analysis good, dolphin?
Scott, I know what you are saying about Peanut being more physical than Vasher, but he still isn't that physical compared the rest of the physical CB's of the NFL. He physicallity won't make a difference. I think putting Vasher on Harrison is a much better idea and Beardown nailed the reason why...

Vasher can't tackle as well as Peanut. That's fine because it doesn't take much to bring down Harrison and he won't fight anyway.
The Colts philosophy is don't fight hard for the extrad yardage once you have a first down because bad thigns could happen. Why chance it when you have the best offense in the NFL of the past 5 years? They believe Manning will put up points, so put your less physical WR on Harrison. Wayne sometimes fights for a bit more.
Overall, I love these matchups as a Colts fan, but go back to good dolphin's point and something I've mentioned a few times. The Colts have great catching TE's in Dallas Clark, Ben Utecht, and hell even Bryan Fletcher this year. The Bears linebackers are so fast that the Bears will most likely shut down this part of the game and thats going to aggravate Manning a lot. I think this could be a huge game for Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. The d-line is really going to have to do their best to create pressure on their own for Manning to struggle throwing against those corners.
