Colts were built for these types of physical games

Excerpt -

 

"INDIANAPOLIS -- Adjectives to describe the Seattle Seahawks follow a common theme. Pick one or pick them all: Cocky, brash, physical, intense, opportunistic and tough.

Some would throw "irritating" into the mix.

 

From the yapping of cornerback Richard Sherman to the over-the-top demonstrative body language of coach Pete Carroll, the Seahawks come across as a strutting bully out to knock teams down and steal their lunch money. That style has worked well enough for a 4-0 start and stature as the best team in the NFC if not the NFL through the first fourth of the season.

 

The Indianapolis Colts ought to be happy to see them Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium for one primary reason: The Colts were built for this.

 

When general manager Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano set about to establish the direction and makeup of the Colts, they veered significantly from the offensive-heavy, quarterback-centric approach of the Peyton Manning era.

 

They looked toward balanced, tough, physical and - this goes unsaid - a little brash. If you're making a team in the mold of the vintage Baltimore Ravens, only with a better quarterback, brashness is part of the package.

 

"In order to build a program for sustained success, win a lot of games and then have the opportunity to win multiple championships, I think you've got to have balance and you've got to be sound in all three phases," Pagano said. "You've got to be rock solid in all three phases. That's what we're trying to be. We want to be tough and hard-nosed and physical on both sides of the ball and special teams."

All of those attributes will be crucial when the Colts (3-1) play the Seahawks at 1 p.m. Sunday in the biggest game for the Colts so far this season."

Heck yeah, we want to be able to line up across from anyone and punch them right in the mouth for 60 minutes!

I don't know about the offensive line (Mike McGlynn at G. Does well at C though. And Satele just doesn't move anyone). But nonetheless, I give credit where it's due. While we are shaky in pass protection, our running game has improved greatly. Run blocking is definitely a bright spot. Still could be improved as so can everything else. But we're doing good so far

But our defensive line has definitely beefed up. Josh Chapman is a immovable object
