Marlin Mack is a good running back. As was Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes. Edge was a great running back, as was Marshall Faulk.

I'm moving more toward Edge and Marshall than Addai and Rhodes. He was known as a bust it to the outside speed guy almost exclusively out of college, he's transformed himself into a guy that can hurt you inside and is one of those guys that doesn't seem to go backwards. Obviously the pass catching aspect is sort of removed by way of Hines.

no. He is still closer to addai/rhodes than edge/faulk.

Mack has traits that remind me very much of Edge, though he's not that good. He definitely shows the same patience and ability to guide his blockers to create our increase running lanes for himself.

Give the RB coach some props. Those guys press the hole and then go full bore. Macks high knee running is starting to remind me of the guy Rathman used to block for in SF

Good Ol' Roger Craig, rock solid RB for a long time.

The entire RB group is probably the most solid I’ve ever seen in Indianapolis.

James/Rhodes, Addia/Rhodes, Addai/Brown, Brown/Ballard. We’ve had duos that could contribute at a high level.

I’ve never seen three RBs that can all be legitimate contributors. Hynes is the best receiving back on the team, Wilkins is a good downhill back that can run with power and still break long runs, and Mack is easily the best pure runner of all of them.

I love the fact that Wilkins/Mack can run the same plays, and Hynes/Mack can run (mostly) the same plays. So much versatility.

If they can just get the deep ball working the defenses job will be so much easier.
