As many believe that the Sunday’s game would be a biggest potential mismatches of defensive men if Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney is healthy enough to play the game, New Orleans Saints left tackle Jermon Bushrod is prepared whether Freeney is to play or not.
Bushrod was up to that challenge, just as he’ll likely be ready for Freeney or Robert Mathis or Raheem Brock or anyone else who lines up at right end for the Colts.
Indy’s pass rush is one of the most disruptive in the league because of the speed across the line, and Freeney might be the most dynamic pass rusher in the league when healthy. But Bushrod has decent athleticism. And his team is good enough to take the challenge, too. The Saints do a great job of offering help and scheming to move the pocket around, and quarterback Drew Brees does a great job of making quick decisions and releasing the ball before he gets in trouble.
Getting much less attention than Freeney, Saints defensive end Will Smith is just as important to the Saints’ pass rush. He is now in better shape than he is been since his first season in NFL jerseys, and is now faster and more athletic. The Saints will depend upon him a lot to try and disrupt Manning’s timing.
