Rudi Johnson

d himself as the back I once saw him as when he played for Michigan and I am now glad we got rid of Rudi Johnson.

ght behind the Colts (genuflect when you say that).  Carson Palmer was at the top of his game. Rudi Johnson punished defensive lines.  The receiver corps was stocked with Johnson, Houshmandzadeh, Henry and Washington.  The offensive line was the best in the NFL--bar none, sorry Pittsburgh and New England.
