Ty Warren Inactive Instant Reaction

Ty Warren is an inactive tonight against Indy. My first reaction to this was 'crap, we're screwed.' Then I calmed down and thought about it. Ty Warren's main impact this year has been on rushing downs, as he only has one sack so far on the season, and only has three sacks since the start of 2008. But will the Pats run D really miss Warren against Indy? Yes, it certainly means playing rookies like Myron Pryor and Ron Brace more, but let's look at Indy's rushing offense.

Entering today's games, Indy was 28th in rushing yards per game at 85.4, 27th in yards per carry at 3.7 and 29th in total rushing yards. Maybe Indy will use this personnel change to focus on the run game, but perhaps it won't matter.

In any case, I will still ride the Patriots 27-Colts 20 prediction.
