Bingo.
That means the FO has a real problem with slowshon, and needs warm bodies for depth.
Something your seriously struggling to accept.

Here comes the stats in 3..2..1..

This sucks but as long as we have Peyton and a the #6 rated defense we will be fine.

In the meantime let the Ronnie Hillman show begin.

It HAS begun...It's a dance exhibition replete with lots of falling down upon first contact.

I'm not sure how you could come to this conclusion. Struggling to accept what?

I've accepted where he's at with the team. I may not know why he's there exactly, because it cannot be based solely on what we've seen of him on the field, but I've accepted it and made that clear several times.

The haters are the ones who can't move on. They're the ones who constantly attack him and practically blame everything wrong with our running game on him, even though he's not out there, while I sit back and laugh.

Damn... wish folks around here would just leave the blind hate! Like it or not, our running game right now depends of Moreno, Ball and Hillis. The last 2 I mentioned are not remotely close to being capable starting backs in this league... just not right now in Hillman's case. Thinking a street agent is going to get touches over Moreno right now is pretty delusional. Or do you want a street free agent to mess up on a protection call and get PM injured? Yeah... though so!

Hillis Baby! Good call. Now we just gotta get the battle toad to cut him outright.

Yeah. Almost reminds me of Tatum "Tinker" Bell. I swear that guy ran with his eyes closed.....running right into the backs of the o-linemen constantly.

Hillman isn't tough enough (right now) to be a run-between-the-tackles back.

I'd like to see the slot filled by Jerimiah Johnson. But who other than Steve Slaton can we bring in for a tryout?

Slaton had almost 1,300 yards as a rookie in 2008.....then did crap ever since.

Preferably one who doesn't have fumblitus

+1 to all of that.................

I think this may be the biggest reason he's not out there. In preseason he struggled with blocking in the backfield. You saw Ball pick up a key block on a TD play. They dont want defenders running free at PM because of a MA. We could sure use PH right about now..

Lance Ball is literally one of the best run blocking RBs I've seen. I didn't realize this till the Chargers game.

No one here hates slowshon.
Many just understand that hes a punk off the field and he sucks on the field.
Thats it.

The Skins released Ryan Grant a few weeks ago.

I'll assume you meant one of the best PASS blocking RB's.

he blocks us from having a good running game maybe

There was reason for that, and because he is done.

[Bronco X]

Tim Hightower, Steve Slaton, Joseph Addai, Ryan Grant, Ryan Torain, Thomas Jones, Cadillac Williams... These are the some of the off the street options... a collection has beens and unknowns. Addai may not have much left but he'd be able to pick up the pass blocking schemes quickly.

that is what I thought. Why don't they just cut him?

Yes that's what I meant. I know everyone saw it to.

He just doesn't block a rusher, but he stands them up and doesn't give up any ground when blocking.

Matter of fact, after watching him block it's clear why the team likes him.

McGahee won't need surgery...

They also said it could be as early as 4 weeks but 6-8 weeks is likely.

Broncos can still use the IR with a designated return option...

What happened to the Oman dude from preseason?

Interesting.....I thought that time had passed. At least that will allow us to sign a FA RB (or move JJ up from PS) without having to cut a different player on the roster.

On SanFran PS, I believe. So I think we can snag him if we put him on active roster, but that would be odd considering we already chose Johnson over him in the offseason.

No they can't that IR w/ return doesn't allow return in the playoffs and he won't be healthy before then.

He has a torn MCL and a broken leg I think 7-8 weeks is more realistic. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go on IR.

[Requiem]

It is too damn bad the slate of RBs to draft this year blows the big one.

I believe he is still on the street, or least that what wiki states......
