Injured Colts Still Injured

The Colts are still practicing without Marvin Harrison, Joseph Addai, Bob Sanders and Rob Morris. Tony Dungy is preparing for the game as if none of them will suit up. I'm asking everyone to pray to St. Levens, the patron saint of injured football players, to continue ignoring these players for just a few more days.

I'm not concerned about Anthony Gonzalez taking Harrison's place. Matt Giordano played when Sanders was out last season and you saw how crappy that defense was. All Colts fans cheered when Sanders came back. I don't know who Rocky Boiman is, but he'll be the middle linebacker in place of Morris and that's good news for us. The only guy I'm wondering about is this Kenton Keith who backs up Addai. Keith didn't get any extensive action until the second half last week and he came up with 80 yards on 10 carries. In case you're dumb, that's 8 yards per carry. And it wasn't like he had one big 99 yard run, either. He had carries of 3, 4, 22, 1, 8, 13,11, 5, 9 and 4 yards. Maybe it's just the change-of-pace effect combined with Denver's really, really shitty run defense and Keith isn't as good as his numbers indicate. I'm not worried. I think Barrett Ruud will give this guy the kind of nightmares where he wakes up shaking and sobbing. But he's still worth keeping an eye on.
