Watching the Colts’ offense is like watching an Eric Clapton concert. You know what’s coming: “After Midnight,” 12-bar blues, no-huddle offense, single-back formations. Clapton is not going to start two-hand tapping or gangsta rapping, and the Colts are not suddenly going to line up in an I-formation or break out the Pistol offense. Manning’s 11-interception midseason slump is ancient history; he adjusted to life with Pierre Garcon and Blair White as his secondary targets and received a boost when Joseph Addai (injury) and Dominick Rhodes (United Football League exile) returned to the backfield. Addai and Rhodes bring both a semblance of balance to the Colts’ offense and a major upgrade to Manning’s pass protection.
