Grits and Shins Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Running Backs: It is official by now - Joseph Addai has taken over the primary running back role from Dominic Rhodes. Addai has 35 carries for 136 yards in the last two games while Rhodes only put up seven runs for 13 yards. Factor in both of the last two weeks were huge games and the Colts have proven they are confident in their rookie. The Colts have yet to have any runner top 100 rushing yards this year but now that Addai is getting the lion's share, that becomes more likely to happen as soon as this week. Projections: Addai 110 yards, 1 TD Rhodes 40 yards I would have bumped my original post to the top ... but it has gone missing for some odd reason. Looks like it is still RBBC in Indy and each week it is anybody's guess as to who will get the lion's share of the carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowboutthemCowboys Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I agree, only 124 yds and 1 TD did you watch the game? Addai got 41 of those yds on the last drive when Indy was killing clock. He had been out carried 14-8 by Rhodes before that drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Meh, Addai is still the back to have there. Of course I'm starting him in 2 leagues. So he only had 80 yards and a TD before the last drive if you want to throw that out. But then he was the back of choice to kill said clock... Indy's version of RBBC is OK by me.

Indy's version of RBBC is OK by me. my point was it's hard to start him after being outcarried by Rhodes 14-8 going into the 4th.Especially after the last 2 weeks when it was reversed.

Todd1 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Howbout, as a Cowboys fan, don't you recall that good RB's (like Emmitt Smith) get a large portion of their yards in the 4th quarter as they're grinding the game down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
