ESPN: Gregg Williams Needs to Dial It Up
The second part of today's two-fer at ESPN Insider looks at how Peyton Manning has done against Gregg Williams defenses over the past few seasons. Manning generally is excellent against the blitz, but looking back, Tim Gerheim finds something very interesting: In three games against Williams defenses since we started game charting (2006 Redskins and 2008 Jaguars), Manning has struggled against Williams' blitzes and just killed his secondary when Williams' defenses only sent the standard four.

Bill Simmons Conference Championship Preview Podcast
Time for another edition of the Bill Simmons Playoffs Podcast Spectacular. It's split into two, so this link gets you just me and Chad Millman, but you can also get the first half at ESPN.com with Michael Lombardi and Cousin Sal. We review last weekend's games and get into next weekend's matchups. Warning: It starts with a discussion of the Vikings' final score with a very Pats homer perspective. I had something I wanted to say, and BS Report seemed a more appropriate place than FO's Audibles at the Line.
