Colts running game withour Manning? (1 Viewer)

I saw the Dallas Clark thread, and I was wondering how everyone values the Colts (sometimes no existent) running game? Does Addai get a bump, because of a more balanced attack, or are the Colts playing from behind so often that they are throwing?

I am an Addai owner, who is the handcuff? Brown or Carter?

 
At quick glance I would bump Carter and downgrade Addai if the injury keeps him out for more than the 4 games. Addai is a valuable security blanket for Peyton in the passing game and that just happens to be the weakness to Carter's game...picking up the blitz. Brown is a non-factor IMO.

I spoke about this earlier in my league and I had listed the players who I thought would be affected, both in a positive and negative manner. Look for this injury to bump the middle of the defense, Carter, Garcon and Collins and then look for a pretty large drop off to the ends, Freeney and Mathis as well as Addai, Colline, Wayne and Clark as long as #18 is sidelined.

I don't see Addai playing any less if they have to start Collins. If anything, he'll need more time and protection than Manning. If opponents smell weakness in the passing attack, what will the Colts face when they try to run?
 
carter may be the only upgrade on this team if he can run well. it hurts addais value cuz hell have to stay in to pass block more for the statue and catch less passes oit of the backfield where most of his value lies. losing the threat of a passing game hurts his chances at running well which he wasnt very goodat before.

 
As I wrote in the Manning thread....They couldn't run with one of the best QBs in the leagues spreading the defense, picking them apart, keeping drives alive, reading them perfectly and audibling to runs when he saw the advantage. Manning's loss cant't be understated and it instantly turns them into one of the worst teams in the league IMO.

:goodposting: Yep - couldn't run before, now they really can't run.

Unrelated...what's the over/under on how long before we see the Impact on Colts Defense and How does Manning's Injury Effect the Kicking Game threads?
