Keys for the Broncos will be the interior of the D-Line, Pot Roast, Sly getting some help from the ends and keeping Marshawn inside as much as possible. Run D is the strength of our defense and as well as Phillips and Ayers have played they are going to have to get a lot of help from the Mike and OLB positions. I'm expecting Woodyard and Trev to have monster games. What's more worrying is Wilson is due for a big game passing wise; he's been less than impressive this post-season and while the Broncos secondary isn't great, as a unit, they've come together and played their best ball all season in the playoffs. A healthy Champ, DRC, Adams is a solid group and will do their part to keep the Seattle offense off the field.
Offensively, no way Seattle is going to be able to contain DT, JT, Deck, Welker all game. It will be important for our guys to be just as physical with the Hawks DB's as they're going to be. O-Line has to keep Peyton upright; I'm not worried about too much pressure with Peyton's quick release but it will be important to let him take his two step drop and give him time to progress through his reads and step up. Don't want to see him being moved around the pocket, that's when PFM tends to make mistakes. Expecting Moreno and Ball to be held in check for the most part but we don't need them to have big games. If Seattle's going to play a cover 3, Peyton will just dink and dunk the Hawks to death.
