This season, much like last year, the Colts have been very inconsistent running the ball. Addai is averaging 3.4 yards a carry for 210 yards and 3 TDs. Donald Brown, the man picked #27 overall supposedly because Addai “stinks,” is averaging 3.5 only a carry and has 2 TDs. Since we all seem to agree that Brown is a pretty impressive young back, logically we have to assume that Addai’s 3.4 a carry average is not a result of bad technique, injury, or a lack of “toughness” on his part. Brown runs behind the same line Addai does, has the same QB (some guy named Manning, the one with the big forehead), and has the same WRs blocking on the outside.
If anything, the current backs for the Colts are likely the only reasons why this team isn’t averaging 2.4 yards a carry! The point I’m trying to make here is it seems obvious to me (and to Bill Polian) that the running game issues are not Joseph Addai’s fault.
The fault lies with our piss poor run blocking.
No argument here…
