I felt the DBs were coached to contain more than defend and to not get burned deep. Overall, they did very well at this. I don't know if that tactic changes as we face less-prolific passing teams but it was a good strategy with someone like Manning. The idea was to pressure Manning up front and then ask the secondary to concentrate on tackling the receiver rather than defending the pass so that you keep the gains to a minimum.
