His numbers this year are universally down. He's averaging fewer rush yards over expected and yards after contact. His breakaway way is also down. I wouldn't really take those as indications of anything other than the sorry state of the Colts' offense.

Last year Taylor was sixth in the league in YAC per carry while leading the league in rush attempts when the offense was humming.
