The Indianapolis Colts need more out of the running game

The Colts can’t depend on Peyton Manning to win every game this season.  They will need to find some kind of a running game to help balance the offense a little bit more.  Joseph Addai has carried the ball 62 times for only 210 yards (3.4 ypc) with 3 TD runs this season.  He has not responded to the fact that the Colts used a first round pick on someone that plays his position.  Donald Brown is the rookie who should be pushing Addai more but he has carried the ball 44 times for only 154 yards (3.5 ypc) so far this season.  The Colts are only averaging 78.8 yards rushing per game and 3.3 yards per carry and that just isn’t good enough to get the job done.  Addai and Brown have combined to catch 33 passes for 291 yards (8.8 avg) with 1 TD grab so at least they are helping out a little bit in the passing game but the Colts expected much more out of this pair.
