This sucks. And a terrible time to lose him. We are going to play two great teams in Tennessee and Pittsburgh and Green Bay and New England aren’t guaranteed wins either. This is a major bummer. Rhodes better step it up. This makes losing Hart for the year even worse.

I hope Simpson and Dawson perform.

though he said he’d expect Addai on the low end of that because Addai is a quick healer (a good trait for someone who gets dinged up as often as him).

play the entire game?? That’s what I worry about.

I had been pining for more Hart over the past 6 weeks of the NFL season. I thought he was a good runner and could bust through the whole for some tough yards. Pipe dreams now, but here’s something to ponder. If the Colts had done a better of job of rotating backs and playing all 3 regularly throughout the season (instead of just as breathers), do you think we would still have our original 3 backs healthy? I know injuries can’t be predicted, but I just have a feeling that we wouldn’t be so dinged up if our running by committee approach was executed better.

Dom in 2006 had 32 carries for 123 yards(3.84 YPC) and 1 TD.

While I would have liked to see the backs rotated more this season as well, I don’t think that would have stopped this from happening. A (slightly) torn hamstring does not sound like the kind of injury that comes from wear and tear. I’m no doctor, but it doesn’t seem like it would have helped.

He got injured because he went full steam into a diving defender who bent his knee back. Rotating would have done nothing. All would have been well if he had gone out of bounds, but that just isn’t his style. That’s like asking Bob Sanders to not hit guys so hard.

I think his injury is more closer to two weeks. According to Colts.com, Dungy said that Addai may try to persuade him to play this week, but most likely next week should be a go. So I think Schefter makes it more alarming or intriguing by adding that 4 weeks potential when its really closer to 1-2 weeks.

NFL network all day today has report 2-4 weeks. I’m think almost for sure this coming week, from there it just depends on his need. If Dom plays well and has help from the bench, then we may let him rest yet another week, but at the same time the Titans game is much more important than the Packers game, hopefully they’re won’t be a let down there.

so…this sucks
