For my money, the best to ever do it. You blitzed, you got your ass stood up!

Maybe not last week, but the first 2 weeks JT was not handling the blitz well at all.

Apparently the coaches have noticed

We'll see. If Pinter is still in the starting lineup this week then they don't fully get it.

I remember when he was drafted over Ricky Williams, that was one of the things people said that set him apart from Williams. I also remember rolling my eyes at that...until I saw him in action and realized just how important that was, especially with Peyton Manning as a QB.

I was just about to say Addai was drafted due to his pass-pro as well.

But Edge was something else. Genuinely elite at everything. Probably the most selfless Colts player I can think of. Still bums me out that he blew his knee, especially seeing guys today come back full strength in 9 months.

Who was the Patsies poster who said that Addai was nothing more than a gangly 3rd down back and that Maroney was far superior?

As much as I loved what Addai did for that championship team, I don't think you can look at his career and deem him anything special.
He only really had one good season (his rookie year, ran for just over 1k) and maybe one more after that. He was injury riddled and out of the league by like his 4th year.
His skillset was really unique and I honestly am having trouble even drawing a similar comparison to him in today's NFL. He was very very shifty with an awesome jump cut move (similar to Lesean McCoy) and had great hands. He could make something out of nothing in little space, but also was not that explosive and looked completely lost running at the second level. I don't think he broke more than one or two long runs in his whole career, but he had awesome hands, a good football brain and was fantastic in pass pro.

Ultimately, Addai was definitely a wasted first round pick even if he contributed in that Superbowl with like 10 catches. In hindsight, we should have just resigned Edge. He went on to having another good 4 years in the league.

I respectively disagree. If a guy helps you win a Super Bowl and Addai definitely did that, it's not a wasted draft pick. Having said that, Edge is one of my favorite Colts of all time.
