My two cents: Addai replaces Moore?

[Michelob]

After what we all witnessed on Sunday, and the fact that Addai is currently watching on TV like you and I...would it be worth resurrecting Addai in the backfield? I mean...he's GOT to be better than Moore? He's had a rough ride since being released by the Colts last spring. Am I alone here?

[HungarianColtsFan]

Is he healthy enough? Is he healthy at all?

 

The last thing I've heard about him, that he was released from Pats, because he failed physical.

[ConBro]

It all depends on whether or not he's stayed in shape. As mad as I am about that Moore fumble, I'd like to believe that it was a one-time occurrence. I'd LIKE to believe that.

 

....Gah just call #29 already.

Well Addai sure knows how to block...

[SteelCityColt]

If Addai can still block as well as he could he might as well come in as an O-lineman let alone RB. 

[ColtJ82]

There have to be better options out there. Addai hasn't played ball in quite some time. He has no familiarity with the offense. By the time he could come in and make any type of contribution, we would probably be packing it in for the season. JMO.

Didn't Addai walk out of N.E during a workout??? i rather not.  just have to give Ballard the complete work load.

Addai is not an option. He is not an NFL caliber back anymore. There is a reason he was cut in Indy and NE and has not been picked up by any team - he can no longer play.

[FireJimCaldwell]

At this point in time, Addai isn't any different from any other street back. If the Colts were still running the same offense that Addai ran during his tenure, then he might be a bit more attractive than other backs based on his knowledge of the offense alone. 

 

He had a better shot of getting picked up by Denver when Mcgahee went down a few weeks ago and nothing ever materialized there.   I'm not certain if there is a back on the practice squad or not, but I would rather promote a young player than bringing in Addai or Moore for that matter. 

[jskinnz]

These threads are absolutely hysterical. First off, he has not played all year. Does anyone really think he is in football shape? Secondly, he has absolutely no familiarity with this offense. Why do you think the same guys keep getting brought back? Because they know the offense. Familiarity is far more important than anything else right now. Alvester Alexander will be brought back before they get Addai or anyone else who has no been in the system.

FJC, since you liked mine, I will like yours too.

Does that sound strange?

This part I pretty much agree with.

I say pretty much because I think that on some downs, they should bring in someone to spell Ballard. But when we get to the red zone area, you KEEP BALLARD IN THE GAME!

I haven't seen many threads that suggest this, but I think Ballard is looking like the biggest steal of the draft. That guy runs north and south, just slippery enough to avoid a tackle here or there, and pretty much always goes down falling forward, with the ball in his hands. I'd love to see Ballard in Indianapolis for the next 10 years based on what I'm seeing now. Kid should only get better.

[IndyD4U]

Why would Tennessee want to replace Moore with Addai? Does Addai know anything about being an OC or advisor?

No, Joseph Addai does not need to join this team. We have a star in Ballard and he's shown that he can handle the load

[lollygagger8]

Addai needs to stay where he's at....on the couch.

[IinD]

He worked out for the NYG last week and wasn't offered a contract. He'll always have a spot in our hearts, but looks like he's done.

[House]

If this was the old management, I could see it.

I just can't imagine in our particular scenario this happening.

[swflacoltsfans]

How about eric dickerson instead. makes as much sense.

[HtownColt]

Delone Carter would had easily ran that in from the one. Hopefully he is back for the playoffs

This. No one wants a quitter on their team.
