One of the big sacks on Saturday came out of a set with Ford lined up outside of Houston, on the same side. They didn't even have to blitz, the Colts just couldn't handle it.

If you can get Houston isolated on a guard, the play is essentially over.
They had Houston inside and sent Hitchens on a loop, IIRC. That pulled protection that could've helped out inside on Houston away and he just mauled that poor bastard guard (maybe it was the C). That interior lineman didn't have anywhere near the quickness to stay in front of him and Houston's hand-fighting skills are second to none.
He just slapped the punch away and ran right past him. And Houston will do that to just about any guard in the league. There were some really nice schematic adjustments/wrinkles on Saturday.
It really was a command performance pretty much across the board.
