The Colts offence is set up to counter whatever the defense decides to defend

kind of like every other offense in the NFL. they just do it more effectively.

Edge has 1465 yards (top 4 or 5) rushing, so it's not like they can't run the ball

be careful looking at stats like this in a vacuum. it's a lot easier to run the ball when you have Peyton, Harrison, Wayne, Clark, etc.
bottom line, the Colts can be attacked just like many other offenses - it's just harder to do. if the opposing D can stop the run, and if the D can generate an effective pass rush without a lot of blitzing (ie with 4 and sometimes 5 guys)...well that will do it.
of course, this is easier said than done.
