There's been a rumor going around for a couple of weeks now that Romo may unseat Bledsoe. Don't buy it.

I agree. Parcels did this when he was with the Giants with Simms and Hostetler. He's just getting them both ready to play.

Seriously thinking about replacing Bledsoe with Romo?
Gotta help drive those ratings for the new halftime show. Evident NBC did not want anyone to flip over to the Yanks v. Sox.
Living in Texas and Cowboy country I can state that the ONLY people mentioning this Bledsoe v. Romo business are mid day, evening and midnight shift, talk radio types. Drive time shows have not even touched this story.
Sorry. They have not touched this non story.

OK. Think about this from Coach Parcells point of view - If he replaces Bledsoee with Romo to start the season what is the result? You have a guy who has never thrown a pass in the NFL lining up as your starting QB, while the veteran QB that took you to a Super Bowl gets ticked off on the bench? Is this giving your team the best chance to win?He is getting Romo mentally prepared to be a starter in case Bledsoe gets schmeared - which isn't unlikely with the OT position being what it is in Dallas. This is why I love Coach Parcells.

Seems Weaver has been getting alot of work this game. Converted Fullback. Big back - good pass blocking techniche from what I've seen. A plodder as far as a runner goes - big and slow. Looks like a FB.Mungro just completely misread the pass blocking on the last play - would have still been 1 guy free but instead there were two. Just made a nice burst run up the middle. Kept very low.Edit: The starting OL is out for the Colts - its getting hard to grade them as the line is breaking down on every play.Mungro just got hurt in the backfield.

Guess not -I know I think I said this before, but Rhodes is going to take 90% of the snaps for this offense - I garuntee it. In a 1 back set (which is what the Colts are running) it will only take one missed block to cost you Manning and the season. They will never risk the loss of Peyton to Addai's learning curve. Addai is the future - maybe. But Rhodes is definetly the now.

While you may be right,I wonder what the odds are in Rhodes staying healthy all year with that workload?

He did it just 3 or 4 years ago, didn't he? Besides - what are the odds of any RB staying healthy? Starting RB on Indy sounds very nice when you can get him with value.

Its slop football right now - scrubs everywhere. I doubt he's on the field for this. Hollings is carrying the ball right now.Sorgi, the Colts Backup QB hurt his shoulder.

Colts hommer here...
this is what i take from the game..
Manning, Harrison, Wayne------- doesnt get much better than that
Rhoads looks ok ....But nothing special
Addai...IMO looks like a faster more powerful back...rhoads may start the season as the starter..but i dont see that lasting long.....
Sorgi may be Manning's buddy ..but he flat sucks...King is ok..I am sure they will be looking for a back up
As for the SeaHawks
If D Jax is out.....They need another Wr....not sure If Burleson will or can step up

Don't let his size fool you...Weaver has some serious speed for a guy his size. He busted a HUGE run in the preseason last year.
Hairy Snowman
Footballguy
I agree he does look faster and more powerful - but IMO if he doesnt learn to block he wont play. And definetly not in crunch time.

Im not saying anything bad about him, just seems like a grinder to me. He'd be a good fit in Pittsburg.
- reminds me of Haynes a little.

OK all, just got home from the game.
Here are some thoughts:
Sorgi injury looked serious. King much better QB anyway.
I think the injury to Mungro(If serious) will benefit Addai if he is used as the change-of-pace back. Mungro was a vulture before.
Colts O in mid-season form.
Seahawks O looked good, my only concerns for them are the effects of Stevens being out and DJax with a possible slow start.
At the present, Engram looks like Steve Smith. Lots of looks!
Julian Peterson looks great! A big upgrade for IDP players.
Colts D, jury is still out. Too many players missing to get a real assessment. My biggest observation is that Marlin Jackson couldn't cover me and my 6.55 40. He likes to hit and is better suited as a safety.
Addai is fast to the corner. He is hesitant between the tackles, but that should improve as he adjusts to the game.
Rhodes is and will be the starter until an injury occurs this year. Get him 2-3 rounds after Addai goes off the board(like in my draft last night).
Right side of Colts line is just awful! Yes, Manning has time to pass, but I think this is a result of play design and execution. RB helping on the weakside is crucial and Rhodes is miles ahead of Addai there.
I know there is nothing too original here, just confirming some other previous points.

I pasted this from a thread back in March:
I ran into Polian down here in Florida. I work at a golf course and we had a 10 minute conversation about football in general while I was packing up his bags and loading them in his car. While I was cleaning his clubs I asked him If Rhodes was the guy. I asked him if he could be the every down back. He said "absolutely an every down back." He did say that they would be "bringing someone else in" because every team needs to have 2 good backs.
I believed him now just like I believed him then. Rhodes is the starter.

He's actually a converted TE turned stiff arm machine.
So if Rhodes has the edge ( no pun intended) on being the starter, how do you adjust his projections?
Currently I have (courtesy of FFG) Addai 190 Rushes for 732yards and 7 TD's and Rhodes 185 Rushes for 722yards and 7 TD's.
Swapping them does nothing for me.
If this migrates towards a 75/25 split, we are now looking at close to 300 carries and 1100+ yards. If it's an 85/15 split like in Indy in 2004, that's 1200+. ( That's when Edge's 2004 stat line was 334 1548 yds). If I am even in the ballpark for Rhodes, this immediately puts him ahead of were I have EJ now, right around top 10 or 12...
Anyone agree or disagree with my logic?

I'm going to eat some crow here. Rhodes looks like the starter (and if he performs like he did in his short stint last night, he'll keep the job), and Addai looks like a project (needs some more coaching). Rhodes looks much better than he did last year - and Rhodes' peformance last year made me very skeptical.
One non-fantasy note about the Colts - the Colts actually threw some BLITZES on defense. They blitzed way less than every other team in the league this year - I think they can't do that again (not blitz hardly at all I mean). They have to blitz a little more often to keep the other team on their toes.

IMO I think the 85/15 split looks right (that leaves 50-75 carries for the backups). I have him pegged at 1200+ also. I would think at least 7 TDs. Puts him right behind EJ for me. Also, they still have a starting offensive lineman coming back from injury for the opener (forget his name-he was held out last night).

Right. Houshmazilli. Championship!
By the way, I'm guessing FFG is thinking Rhodes breaks down midway. Personally, I like the week 6 bye.

All of these positive comments about Rhodes are making me positively giddy. In 2001, Rhodes got 233 of the Colts' 401 rushing attempts (58%). He ran for 1,104 yards and 9 TDs, plus he caught 34 balls for another 224 yards. I anticipate similar numbers for 2006, with potential for more.gruecd said:
