Most likely to turn it around (1 Viewer)

[Tong Po]

The arithmatic isn't that difficult

213 rushing yards in 4 games

4 x 4 = 16 games

213 x 4 = 852 yards

Consensus #5 pick

Yeah, I'd say he qualifies for the "needs to turnaround" category.

You conveniently forgot to do the math on Addai's touchdown pace.... which would have him scoring more TD's than last year.16 of the fluke variety I guess.

Oh just stop it already. I already dispelled your touchdown "pace". Addai's pace means precisely jack-sh** in terms of how he's running right now. Your 16 TD RB is "on pace" to land Indy squarely in the cellar of team rushing yds per game.

You dispelled my Joseph Addai touchdown pace how exactly? By saying 2 of his 4 touchdowns were of the "fluke variety"?

Oh wait, you also said Indy wasn't playing very well and that his "pace" would likely fall off.

That's great analysis. I feel like an idiot. Sorry to waste your time.

You are wasting my time and I accept your apology. No I disspelled the pace he's on by reminding you of the fact that Indy is also "on pace" to wind up being the absolute dead last place team in NFL rushing this year. DEAD...LAST! Name me one time in the history of football that a RB had a 15+ TD season when his team was dead last in the league in yds. per game. But according to you, Addai is going to do that? He could continue the yardage pace he's on and run for 16 TD's. Right. FWIW - I actually believe the line will continue getting healthier, that Addai will have better yardage going forward and even end up with double digit TD's. But your assertion that Addai is just fine the way he's running now is laughable. Now here's where you babble on some more about 4 TD's with no reasoning whatever other than 4 TDs 4 TDs 4 TDs. I won't be back to read about it.

not for nothing, but I actually think he IS running fine right now. Its hard to rack up yards when you are getting hit in the backfield every third carry. Manning typically can't move very quickly, but add in the knee problem and all the sudden their play action is irrelevant, and the handoff becomes a pitch (something that defenses are able to pick up easily). Couple that with the fact that they have been playing behind a shell of an oline (since last year, roughly around the same time Addai had his last 100 yard game) and frankly, Manning's arm isn't exactly scaring anyone right now, and you've got a very good RB who previously was performing at a top 5 clip due to the system he was in, now suffering a bit. However, he still scores TD's from 10 yards and in, which tells me that he CAN get it done when he needs to. Addai will finish a top 5-6 RB with decent yardage (1500 all purpose) and enough TD's to make up for any yardage shortcomings (16-18). And it will not be due to his running "improving". It will be due to Peyton shaking off the rust and getting healthy, and more importantly, his Oline getting healthier as well.

You're wasting his time.
