The thing that makes me a little - just a little - nervous, is that Andy has an affinity for his former coaches. He seems to really respect Harbaugh. I know it's stupid and weird, but I really hope he doesn't try to play it tighter and 'more respectful' against a coach he has respect for.
Bloodless savage Andy is a whole lot of fun. And if he brings that gameplan to Baltimore, they're gonna have their hands full.

Is there any track record or numbers to support that Andy has ever "let up" against a coach out of respect? I assume he respected Belichick, but he unleashed plenty of killer gameplans against a great Patriots team. Would think he had a reasonable amount of respect for Kyle Shanahan but seems like we usually surprise with how well we play against the 49ers.
Thought about Arians, but we absolutely waxxed them in the regular season, and the Super Bowl was marred by the Britt Reid stuff so I wouldn't think respect had anything to do with that one.
