Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
Steve Young also said Indy had all their big names on the field and still came up short!
Rhodes is a good running back, they did win the superbowl with him!
I admit they didn't have Bob but their run defense looked pretty good Monday!
They still had
75% Manning, Rhodes, Marvin, Wayne, Clark, and Gonzales Monday night!!!!
Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
Rhodes was on the team but Addai was the key running back for the Super Bowl run. Quit making a fool of yourself.
Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
WTF How I'm I making a fool of myself???
Rhodes is a good back and hell he did help them get there!
But what do you have to say about the rest of the offense???

They had a rookie starting at guard, another rookie playing at the other guard 50-75% of the rest of the time, Ugoh came back for his first game after being out since the 2nd week and was no where near being in game shape, Marvin coming off knee surgery and looking nothing like he has at any point in his career, and what you called a 75% Manning.
Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
actually in the playoff addai had 122 yards against KC on 25 carries 39 against batlimore on 18 carries and 56 against ne on 14 carries
the last game of that year against the LOLphins he had 64 yards on 21 carries
thats basically their super bowl run.......he didnt do much
Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
I don't think that's what he's saying. Rhoads was the starter all year, but Addai had the bulk of the carries. Unless I'm mistaken, I think he's talking about the run earlier than that and not just the playoffs. He had over 1000 yards for the year and Rhoads had around 600. I think he got banged up early in the playoffs I think against KC (knee or ankle maybe). The NE game they got behind early and had to throw, which will scue the numbers, and running on Baltimore is no easy task at all.
Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
Maybe they wasn't all 100 percent but they was all there! Rhodes is a good back always has been!
Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
How were they all there when both starting (week 1) guards were out and they had to reshuffle the whole offensive line with Charlie Johnson and the other rookie guard at the guards? Not to mention Sanders being out, both starting DT's they were supposed to have were out. One got booted during the season, the other retired 2 weeks before the season started.
Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
you can't argue with him about this one.
VY doesn't need an offensive line, so that means they are useless.
Re: Vic Carucci's NFL Rankings
Their run defense was fine Monday without Bob Sanders.
Did you watch the freaking game?!!! Tennessee has a stout D line and they never got to Manning their line pass blocked and run blocked fine!!!
So let me see here, their line played well monday night they had most of their weapons on the O side of the ball.
The biggest thing I seen in the game was they were getting hurt in the short passing game!
