Bears’ Defense Looking to Make Final Shift

Much has been made of Peyton Manning’s famous last-second adjustments, or “fake” adjustments that are designed to throw off a defense and put it on its heels.  Manning is as smart as they come, and basically, no one is going to fool him with an exotic blitz package or a wrinkle that he won’t recognize.

However, one of the keys that Bears coaches have discovered is that if they wait until the last 10 seconds of the play clock to make their final adjustments, Manning won’t have time to react to it.  The Dallas Cowboys used that approach earlier this season, and the strategy paid off with a win.

If you’d like to see whether or not this strategy works, you need to get to StubHub.com and grab some Super Bowl tickets.
