Why is Addai not starting? (1 Viewer)

[laughinboy_2000]

I don't get it. Rhodes starts the game and maybe get's one to two carries. Addai then enters the game to snag 15-20 touches and 80+ yards? I know people are saying it's an RBBC in Indy, but the stats don't lie the last two weeks.

Addai:

Week 8: 17 carries for 93 yards, 5 receptions for 37 yards

Week 9: 18 carries for 43 yards and 1 TD

Rhodes:

Week 8: 3 rushes for a whopping ZERO yards, 3 receptions for 43 yards

Week 9: 4 rushes for 13 yards

Not really RBBC if you ask me. This leads me to ask the question. Why are the Colts starting Rhodes when he's only getting about 3 touches per game? When will Addai become the full-time starter?

Why does it matter if he starts? He's getting the carries.

He is basically "starting" now.

That is a good question.

Rhodes has looked average the past 4-5 weeks... Addai looks strong and quick.

Glad I kept hold of him, Ill need him this week with McGahee out.

Even if he's called the starter I think it's safe to say that Rhodes is now the breather / change of pace back for Addai.

Here's a shot in the dark: Dungy has Rhodes in as a starter so the opponents prepare for Rhodes as the primary back instead of Addai. Although, if that is his strategy, it probably won't work after last week. Just a guess because I really have no idea.

I hope Addai continues getting the bulk of the load because I'm starting him over Caddy.

Takes the pressure off of Addai . . .

Holy crap, do you have McNabb also? LOL.......Week 9 was Caddy's last shot at starting for me; time to make playoff push with Addai over Caddy......
