John Oehser, of Colts.com, reports Indianapolis Colts FB James Mungro, although he will probably be No. 3 on the depth chart throughout the season, is expecting to see an increased role in the offense after the departure of RB Edgerrin James. Head coach Tony Dungy has said that more running backs will be used than before, meaning that Mungro will see action along with RB Dominic Rhodes, who is currently No. 1 on the depth chart, and first-round pick RB Joseph Addai. "Now, with Edgerrin gone, it's an opportunity to get more playing time," Mungro said. "Preparation's even more valuable for me now than it has been the last few years."

How split do you think this running game will actually be? Will we see that much of Mungro? I still think Addai is running away with the starting job all to himself by mid-season.

I dont think we will see a lot of Mungro, but I am still not sold that they will just give the ball to Addai that quickly either. Rhodes did an excellent job for them in 2001 when James went down. Addai will have to learn a very complex offense, as well as adjusting to the NFL quickness. I think Addai has it next year, but not sure about this year. he will get some carries though, and he is a good receiver out of the backfield.
