He's not as accurate, and gets out of rythym when he has to move.

If the Chiefs control the clock, and play physical D on the receivers, and force Manning to move, this game won't be a shootout.

all true, I just fear the hot read when employing that strategy.

I'm not talking about blitzing Manning.
I'm talking about getting pressure from the front four, especially Dalton and Sims/Browning.

Push the pocket in the middle and force Manning to move to his left or right.
Disrupt the timing for the passing game with physical play on their receivers.
Blitz only sparingly.

I know a lot of people want to see Manning pounded into the turf again and again, as would I.

But to win, we don't need a lot of sacks, just a lot of pressure.
