Our success in the recent past, especially in the Kevin Hogan era when we could not rely on the otherworldly ability of Andrew Luck, has been based on a disciplined as hell defense with good athleticism, and a grind-it-out offense that by its nature minimizes the athletic gap by grinding the opposing defense into dust and keeping the opposing offense off the field.

Where is my plus 100 button?  I absolutely agree with this.  Shaw set the overall strategy that the team needed in the post-Luck era that gave us the best chance for success.  He would prefer to be multi-dimensional, as he has stated numerous times, but he has used the grind-it-out scheme because he had to.  He has greatly expanded that basic strategy when the team is able to execute it as shown by the final three games of last year.  I have high hopes for similar variety and success this year, but I am trying to temper my enthusiasm because of the youth of the defense. 

Cheers,
Pete F.
