The Indianapolis Colts need more from Joseph Addai
When the Colts got rid of Edgerrin James a couple of years ago they thought that Joseph Addai was ready to shoulder the complete load in the running game. They appear to have been wrong as Addai has not excelled as the main man in the running game. Addai has played in 13 games this season and he has carried the ball 197 times for 729 yards (3.7 ypc) with 9 TD runs and he has also caught 48 passes for 322 yards (6.7 avg) with 3 TD grabs. Addai wouldn’t have gotten as much playing time this season if rookie first round pick Donald Brown hadn’t gotten hurt. Look for Addai to have to battle Brown next year to keep his role as the featured back. Until then they need Addai to pick up his game or teams will come right after Peyton Manning in the playoffs.
