Frggin Dayne's in at crunch time and he's tearing it up.

Knock him if you want, but he pretty much won this game for the Broncos. Plummer wasn't doing jack, so they just fed Dayne the ball and he drove it into field goal range.

Only possible rationalization left. Anderson sure didn't look tired on the sidelines, he looked pissed. You don't put a "scrub" in for the final two minutes of a game winning drive. Dayne did everything asked of him, in crunch time. No way is Anderson secure in the job right now. Spin it any way you want. There's a bunch of Dayne crow eaters come tomorrow morning. Don't forget the critical Anderson goal line fumble earlier in the game. He's done it before. Anderson was just average today. As for the play when Dayne ran into Smith, to me that was more on Smith. Dayne couldn't tell which way he was blocking him (turned out to be straight away) and he guessed wrong on the cut. Nothing he could do about it. He is gonna get a shot at the job by Skeletor, no doubt in my mind.

You're dead right... I can feel the fear! I'm feeling like a genius right now for picking him up two weeks ago....

The end of that game was a page out of Barry Alvarez's book. I can't even believe Shanny had the guts to call those plays for Dayne -- even on 4th and 1 
Shows some confidence with the game on the line. Fresh legs or not, Dayne was moving the chains out there.Good stuff folks.

####, I looked!
You don't put scrubs in at money time. M Anderson ONLY had 15 carries so he still had FRESH LEGS for a running back. I think Dayne made the offence look and feel a little better when he was in. Anderson had no cut back in his run today. Could it be the ribs maybe, but I think Dayne does have the talent to be decent in this offence. But we will see how it works out next week when Denver plays the Chefs on Monday Night Football.

Bell's legs would've been pretty fresh since he was on the sideline injured. You can't really draw a conclusion on the backups just yet.

Bell limped off of the field with an injury during a kick return earlier in the gameAnd I must ask when someone is going to throw the Kyle Johnson: TD vulture into this conversation

Fresh legs my ####! Denver is playing at home, game on the line, coaches job on the line, got blown out the week before, and what RB was in the game for the last and most important drive? Not Mike Anderson. Not Tatum Bell. The Great Dayne was in and they called his number six times. If that doesn't tell you a lot about Dayne's chances to win the starting job you don't know jack about football or sports in general. When it's crunch-time the coach puts the players in that he thinks will give him the best chance to win. It was crunch-time and Dayne was in the game.

Yep and he kicked butt. He came in when the Broncos were at their own 34 yard line. Plummer never completed another pass, it was all Dayne. Ran them to within field goal range.

Anderson is starting...nursing ribs...but Ron Dayne is clearly the RB2 on the team. MA needs to have a 100 yd game soon though. I have Dayne in my dynasty league behind Mike Anderson so of course I like what I am seeing.

The Chiefs added a lot of talent this year on defense both vet and youngsters. They might have the defense to watch in that division. It appears only Oakland has a soft defense this year and that's only against the pass. Time will tell.He will next Monday nightHas he EVER put up 125 and 2?Oh I thought this was the thread Dayne put up 125 and 2, carry on

The fact that Anderson did not get the goal line carry in itself made all mike anderson owners worried, me included. Without watching the game or knowing the specific circumstances (how many carries leading up to goal line pluinge, formation, etc..) Pulling anderson on the goal line was the first sign he was losing shanahans favor. Everyone is right on with the cruch time carries, that is significant. where we go from here is anyone's guess, but for now, I am adding r. dayne. Anderson had been ineffective in two games, the reason why doesn't matter. Bell has been out of favor for 2 years now.Dayne put the team on his back and won the game for them (now that is what I am talking about!! lol). But dayne did lead the winning drive, and as LHUCKS would say, he commands respect

Omagod, this will fuel another fifty Anderson/Bell/Dayne threads this week. I hope the footballguys invested in extra storage for the message board.

Anderson has gotten in trouble before with fumbles. The goal line fumble had to piss off Shanny to no end. Hey, Dayne didn't go for 125 and 2. He didn't play enough to have the chance. But nobody can say Anderson looked better in there at any time. At best, this is RBBC now, and if Dayne runs with the shot he gets he could be the man. And Sharks aren't picking him up this week - they already did last week

Nobody believed that Droughns would take over last year either.We're not saying Dayne is going to be this years Droughns, but his preseason average and now regular season average are 5.3 and 5.5 ypc respectively. Somebody's gotta start waking up and seeing that it is within the realm of possibility that Dayne might be good.Thank god I picked him up last week, cause I wouldn't be able to touch him this week.

Since when do coaches "plan" to rest their starting RB on the final drive with the score tied.

Well, you knew the Dayne threads were going to be coming. 
Not a bad clutch get on 4th & 1, was it? I'm not going to get carried away here, but another piece of evidence in favor of the rejuvenated Great Dayne theory. Yes, he was fresh and the defense wasn't, but he pretty much set up that field goal by himself. What this means in the grand scheme of things, only Shanahan knows. I'm certainly not waiving Dayne any time soon though.
From the AP:
Dayne came off the bench and ran six times for 39 yards on the winning drive, including an 11-yard gain on fourth-and-1 from the Chargers 33. It was the most clutch NFL performance for the Heisman Trophy winner.

Shanahan analyzed risk. He thought his chances of picking up the down and kicking a shorter field goal were better than his chances of making a long field goal. Like him or not, you have to admit he has cajones.By the way, everyone, now's the perfect buy low time to pick up Denver's runners.

aren't you all forgetting that Anderson had a 30 yard reception to set up an earlier TD.
