The Facts: OC Nick Sirianni called the Colts running back room a "1-1 punch" with Mack and Jonathan Taylor.
Diehards Line:
Sirianni went on to suggest the Colts see plenty of versatility in their skillsets and that both are complete backs. And what about Nyheim Hines’ role out of the backfield? “Nyheim is going to benefit big time from playing with (new quarterback) Philip (Rivers). There’s no question about that." While we still believe Taylor, whom they traded up in the second round to draft last month, is going to assert himself quickly, the Colts are saying all the right things about their holdovers continuing to have a role, so we'll continue to watch for more.
