CAROLINA PANTHERS

- Put enough pressure just with the front 7 due to the great ability of Manning to read the blitzes and kill them
- Help out the offensive tackles against Ware and Miller off the edges
- Play some read options to keep both OLBs and passrushers guessing
- LBs will have to have a great play recognition to understand where the play will delovelop especially on screens and play actions
- Play a very balanced offense keeping the running game as their first option

Key Players

- Newton
- Kuechly

DENVER BRONCOS

- Play press coverage on Panthers' WRs using size advantage
- Spy Newton with a fast LB like Trevathan or Marshall and also play some contains to avoid him break out of the pocket and scramble
- Short and Loutelei will tough to be moved so run outside the tackles especially with Hillamn who has a very good speed to do it
-Play more committed against the runs, fill every hole and let Newton be a pocket passer forcing him in long 3rd down conversions
- Manning will have to continue to manage is offense as he did in last 2 pplayoffs games

Key Players

- Manning
- Miller
