Indianapolis Colts running back Joseph Addai could sit out this Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.Addai, who has been slowed by a nagging knee injury and a tender hamstring, did not practice Friday and is currently listed as questionable. Addai did practice Wednesday and Thursday, so reports speculate that Friday may have been a rest day.Addai has rushed for 257 yards on 58 carries and one touchdown in six games this season. He’s played just once in the last three games, posting eight yards on two carries versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 7. Colts backup running backs Delone Carter and Donald Brown combined for 79 yards on the ground and a score in last weekend’s 27-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Indianapolis is ranked 22nd in the NFL in rushing, averaging just 102.1 yards per game.

The Colts losing: A Manning kiss off?

Let’s be really honest here. The Indianapolis Colts winless season is historic. Obviously because Peyton Manning is out for the season. And, also because head coach Jim Caldwell is no Tony Dungy. But, and I’m still keeping it real, something seems really, really odd. How can a team implode from the absence of one man? A team that in the last decade has produced multiple...

Irsay thinks the future is bright

I spoke with my parents today and tickets for Sunday's game have fallen into their laps.  At 0-8 it would be quite possible that some people simply wouldn't care if the tickets were free.  Instead I was reminded of the pride I once had in a little grey t-shirt with a horseshoe my mother bought me at JCPenney's in Terre Haute in 1984.  0-8?  No problem.  1-15 in 1991...

Irsay loves continuity

If you were hoping that Jim Irsay was going to throw out the Polians and fire Caldwell then you haven't been listening to the Mad Hatter very closely.  Irsay, while shying away from certainties or "votes of confidence", attempted to provide some perspective: “I’m committed,” Irsay said. “In their defense, it’s pretty radical after the successes we’ve had...

Polian on punting

Bill Polian is a sound football guy who knows that with context, statistics are key to the game.  That said, he doesn't appear to be quite as down on punting as we are.  When asked about going for it on 4th and short he responded: Well, I can see your point.  I can see your point.  You have to develop a personality in order to do that, and you have to have people that do...

Colts-Falcons Preview

Andrew Aziz of Everything Colts checks in with another preview this week. What the Colts Need To Do To Win A big problem for the Colts in recent weeks has been turnovers. Curtis Painter has to make good decisions. Last week, he threw an interception where he was passing it to Garcon, was a pretty good throw, but it was an awful decision to even pass to him. He needs to make good...

Based on Jim Irsay’s words, Caldwell shouldn’t get too comfortable

During a 40-minute interview with The Indianapolis Star, Colts owner Jim Irsay was given an opportunity to publicly back his embattled coach, Jim Caldwell. Instead, he went to great lengths to avoid saying anything definitive, or even mildly-supportive, about his coach's future in Indy: "One thing people can't evaluate with Jim is how hard he works, how he prepares the...
