cyberer Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Tony Dungy said all along that he wanted to continue a timeshare after Dominic Rhodes left because he thinks that Addai is better coming off the bench. I thought that was pure BS with DeDe Dorsey on roster, but recently this talk by Colts coaching staff is making me nervous: The Colts are confident DeDe Dorsey can emerge as the second cog in their two-back rotation with Joseph Addai. "We sure think he can," coach Tony Dungy said. "We never got to see him run live in a game, but what he did in practice really gives you every indication he can be." GM Bill Polian also had glowing remarks to say about Dorsey. The Colts have been "toying" with the idea of using Joseph Addai more in the passing game, according to the Terre Haute News. What other Colts back would get receiving opportunities? Addai is a fine pass-catcher and should be top five at his position in points-per-reception leagues. The Colts maintain DeDe Dorsey or Kenton Keith will be involved. I know that he is not a franchise RB like Addai, but he is a good receiver out of the backfield and can put up Rhodes-ish numbers. He might be worth a flier if he gets 1/3 of the carries. I took him in the last round of my league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberer Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 i agree it could be a motivation tactic for addai, but if he even gets half the carries that rhodes got he will have fantasy relevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realhawker Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 This is Addai's show. Every coach loves to claim a 2 back system. No one knows if this DeDe guy is any good. Why split carries with a player who sucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
