Colts fear our run offense, so now they go and get McFarland.

McFarland can move, so he might be able to handle Maroney. But a few shots of Dillon up the middle should be fine.

One on one, Booger will flatten Maroney or Dillon like a steamroller. That's what offensive lines are for. Fortunately for us, ours has been pretty good at opening up holes and since he isn't going to have long to learn this system, I don't see him being much of a factor in the game.

From what I read of Buc fans, Booger won't help much. The Colts D stinks and their O can't run. No SHOT at the Super Bowl.

I might be wrong here, but I thought Booger was more of a pass rusher than a run stopper anyway.

Go ahead and think that if it makes you feel better, but the Pats are just one team on the schedule. I think the move had less to do with the Pats and their running game and a lot to do with the fact that the Colts were worried about all 11 games remaining on the schedule and stopping the run of each one of those teams.

Colt's haven't given us a 2nd thought yet. Their too busy trying to stop the rest of the NFL from running for over 3000 yards against them for the season.

Exactly,

When a team like the titans puts up over 80 rushing yards on you on the first drive alone, they are looking no further then stopping the next team on the schedules running game.

The Pats can run the ball, but so can plenty of other teams

Yeah, because every move the Colts make is about the Patriots

Polian is obsessed with the Pats. I think every second of the day he thinks of them. This is based on, other than last years game, the Pats owning the Colts, and for the most part, the Pats preventing the Colts from making it to the Super Bowl.
