"Anyone who watched the Colts' win over the Giants Sunday night got a clear picture of what can happen to an offense that tries to block Indianapolis defensive end Dwight Freeney with just one blocker — tackle David Diehl.

And over and over again Diehl looked somewhat overwhelmed as Freeney continually went around or powered his way through Diehl, on his way to Giants' quarterback Eli Manning.

The Giants didn't adjust, didn't put a tight end out there, didn't use a running back in to chip Freeney on the way by. They continued to stick to what was obviously their pregame plan to use one of their best blockers — Diehl — on the Colts' best pass rusher.

In retrospect, a poor decision, since Freeney finished with two sacks, plenty of hits on Manning, forced a fumble that was recovered for a touchdown and disrupted the Giants' offense all evening.

This is the decision the Broncos face Sunday — what to do about Freeney?

In a perfect world, Denver's Pro Bowl tackle, Ryan Clady, would take on Freeney by himself much of the time because Clady has the kind of reach, athleticism and quick feet to handle the job with more success than most.

But Clady is still coming back from major knee surgery this offseason and doesn't look to be 100 percent when you compare his pass drops to the same plays last season. In that light it's a lot to ask of him or any other lineman when faced with Freeney.

The Broncos also have to consider that their right tackle, Ryan Harris, is returning from an ankle injury that kept him out of the team's first two games. Harris will have his hands full as well with Colts defensive end Robert Mathis."
