Mike Anderson Update? (1 Viewer)

Holy crapola!

Anderson is starting.

He is the starter for the season.

.

Bell is fighting with Dayne for back-up.

.

Whether Anderson stays healthy is the question. It looks like he's starting this weekend. That's a strong sign that he is THE starter. He is expected to play through minor injuries like ANY starter. A roster spot for Bell or Dayne expecting either to be "picked" over Anderson is silly. Unless he hurts himself (or has like 3 30 yards on 30 carries games...)
:thumbup: Why people are so hell-bent on trying to make Bell the starter over Anderson, even though he had an entire preseason to win the starting job, is beyond me.

Because every "expert" and magazine publication had bell ranked as a third rounder, and Anderson as an 8th or 9th rounder. So all these people who were misinformed, and drafted bell that high, are now hanging on to false hope...
 
I'm watching "Playbook" on the NFL network right now and they are talking about the Denver game and mentioned that Bell is going to get the opportunity to start that he has been waiting for.  This may very well have been recorded a few days earlier, so take it for what its worth, but just wanted to mention it.
Anyone else have any light to shed on this? Was it recorded awhile ago or is this a change by Denver this morning.
I believe the last Playbook show each week is recorded on Thursday. Anderson was attending a funeral on Thursday and went full speed at practice on Friday, after which he was upgraded to probable...
 
I'm starting Larry Johnson and, gulp, TJ Duckett over Bell this week. 

Bell is a boom/bust pick this week.  He could rush for over 100 yards versus SD, but I agree with SSOG and think the odds are in favor that SD will shut down the Broncos running game.
Is Bell starting? I thought Anderson is probable now and will be starting? How can Bell rush for over 100 yards vs. SD when Anderson's healthy? I don't think he'd do it even if he were starting...
Trent Dilfer could throw for 6 TD's. I could sleep with Jessica Alba tonight. I'm with you in that the odds that T.Bell will do well versus SD isn't great.
I may start Dilfer over Pennington as my 2nd QB in a 2 QB league this week (behind Manning), so I hope he throws for 6 TD's against GB. However, I don't think you could sleep with Jessica Alba tonight, nor do I think Bell could rush for over 100 versus SD this week...
:mellow: What are you trying to say?

Thank you. :thumbup:

 
Dayne was working with the first team.  Demotion for Bell and promotion for the Great One?  Solid
With Anderson starting and practicing at full speed per the Blogger, and Dayne getting first team reps, Bell's fantasy value has to be way down from when he was on the cover of FF Index. I think Anderson has a solid hold on the starting spot if they start him while ailing...
I would think:Anderson=starter

Dayne=Anderson's backup

Bell=third-down back

Sound about right?
Anderson's the starter. Bell/Dayne committee if Anderson's hurt. Bell will never be the 3rd down back while Mike is healthy-- especially given Anderson can pass block (i.e. won't get Jake killed) & is a better receiver out of the backfield.

Not "every" one. We had Anderson at 20 and Bell at 47 in our preseason rankings. Sure, back in May when the mags were written, we had Bell much higher. I really don't think "false hope" has much to do with it. Tatum Bell being an electrifying runner and Mike Anderson having trouble staying healthy is more the issue that I see affecting people. Just my .02

I just really expect Denver to struggle running the ball this week. Call it an informed hunch.
Hi SSOG,Can you expand on that please? Do you really think SD is that tough? Did you see things in the Dallas game that are making you think that or something else?

Thanks.

J
He talked alot more about the reasoning behind his thoughts on that in this thread
Thanks ched,Those are good points regarding historical games against the 3-4. Should be interesting. Certainly can't ignore history, but I'm leaning a little more to how SD looked last week. We'll see.

I'm just of the opinion that run defenses look better than they really are against Denver. I think, despite what we saw last week, that San Diego has a better rushing defense than Houston... but look at Denver's historical numbers vs. Houston. Denver's blocking scheme just doesn't fare well against the bigger 3-4 D-linemen. Like I said, I'm not planning on starting any Denver RBs in any league, even though I think Denver has one of the top 5 rushing attacks in the NFL... and I probably wouldn't even if there was no injury uncertainty with Mike Anderson and he was the clear #1.I've been telling everyone that next week is a good "buy low" time to get the Denver running game off of the hands of panicking owners. Drop a few suggestions that Denver's O-line is falling apart without Gibbs in town and watch them overreact after 2 straight bad performances.

 
I think it is very clear why everyone had Bell originally projected to be the next great Denver back. If you look at the history of the past few years, we remember that Mike Anderson had a great season several years ago. He was never able to repeat that and as a result had become more of an afterthought on this team. Then Portis became a stud (while not starting the first few weeks). When he left it was felt that Bell was drafted to take his place. Nobody expected Droughns to do anything. Last season Bell looked great the last few games. When Droughns left, it was therefore assumed that Bell was the heir apparent. Anderson came "out of nowhere" to steal the job.

 
Now, the Great Dayne will get his chance this Sunday to prove his worth. With an aging veteran and a RB who refuses to pass block in front of him, I say it's now anyone's job.

This statement is wholly incorrect. It's not anybody's job. It's Mike Anderson's job- and it will be until Anderson gets hurt.
 
Nice prediction FF Index. :rolleyes: ;)IMO DEN RBs = MIN RBs, ie:- highly touted (overrated) fueled partly by big production in the past from some of them - injury issues- coach who doesn't have a clue who to start- basically a big fat mess.Someone just cut Anderson. I was thinking of cutting Moore for him.But I doubt it'll matter.

ARE YOU CRAZY?Reuben Droughns was the #14 RB in the NFL in 12 games last year. Is that by what you mean by not mattering?

Anyone who avoids the Denver system on principal is making a MASSIVE mistake.

 
IMO DEN RBs = MIN RBs, ie:
Your kidding right? Since 1998 Den. has produced 5 thousand yd rushers (Davis,Anderson,Gary,Portis,Droughns).. Min has produced 2 (Smith,Bennett).. There's no comparison between the two. Denver's running game is FAR superior. Think about it, this is a system that can stick 5 different guys in the backfield, and get elite production
- coach who doesn't have a clue who to start
Shannahan has already said Anderson is the starter unless he can't go due to injury.. :confused:
 
???? Last I checked, Droughns plays for CLE.
What does that have to do with anything? Last year he played in Denver, and he was the #14 rusher in the entire NFL in 12 games.Denver's rushing situation will never be inconsequential. Denver's starting RB will always be a stud. Ignoring those two simple facts is an easy way to miss out on great value.

I would pick Anderson off of waivers in a heartbeat. If we had a bidding system set up for waivers, I would bid all of my money to pick up Mike Anderson. He is a top 10 RB as long as he is the starter in Denver. Top 15 at the very very very worst.

Thanks. August rankings when most people draft had us ranking Bell at 47 with Anderson at 20.Our Cecil Lammey was at every Denver practice in camp and had us on this early in camp.

lol & wtfoI can't decide if you people are messing w/me or just visiting from a planet in the Bizarro Galaxy, but what the hey I'll try to go a little slower just for the heck of it....stay with me now....On MY original post where I said "DEN RBs=MIN RBs," I was talking about THIS year. You are the ones talking about Droughns in DEN last year, etc etc blah blah blah. Still going too fast? :rolleyes:

I don't care if we're talking about this year, last year or five years ago. The bottom line is Den. has consistently produced elite running backs over the years, and I don't know why this year is any different. Den always has a crowded backfield, but NEVER has taken a RBBC approach.. Minnesota's RB situation, on the other hand, is a mess based on the fact that Tice changes like the wind, when asked who will be the featured guy in that offense..Let me see if you can follow me on this one...

Mike Shannahan has named Anderson the starter, until injury prevents him from playing anymore. There's no competition, there's no controversy.

period... end of story...

Whether it's Dayne or Bell that gets the start if Anderson goes down remains to be seen. But until that happens, it really is a moot point..

I guess historical precedents no longer matter.I don't get why everyone is projecting Manning to throw 30+ TDs this season. Sure, he threw 49 last season, but that was last season.

I don't get why Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson are being drafted so high. Sure, KC has averaged more RB points per game than any other team in the league by a huge margin over the last 3 season, but those were the last 3 seasons.

I don't get why Kevin Jones and Julius Jones and Willis McGahee are so highly touted. Sure, they set the world on fire over the last half of the season last year, but that was last year, and we're talking about this year.

I completely agree with this guy. The fact that Denver turned their 5th string RB into a fantasy stud last season and enters this season without any noticable losses to the offense except for Dan Neil (and even returns two guys ahead of Droughns on the depth chart last season) CLEARLY demonstrates that Denver's running attack is not likely to succeed this season.

The fact that Denver has had 5 different RBs rush for 1000 yards in the last 7 seasons clearly bears no relevance to any discussion about Denver's running situation. What on earth were we thinking, guys? I have seen the light. From now on, I will contain my discussion only to things that have happened THIS season.

Thanks for explaining things very slowly to me. I really understand and agree with your arguement that last season has absolutely zero relevance when discussing this season. I have seen the light, and am now prepared to go and dominate all of my fantasy leagues thanks to you.

Hey, does anyone want to trade me Frisman Jackson for my Torry Holt?

 
Well thias week is too dicey for me to start him.. I am going with LJ and Jordan.. Let next week get sorted out..
At the moment I am sitting him too. I've got LJ in (yuck) but could also put D.Bennett in vs Balt. Anderson will probably blow up this week....
 
I feel I have to start him. I have Tatum and T. Jones on the bench in favor of Anderson. My other starter is Martin right now. That is the way I see it for now. I will wait for the tv shows to start up and see what goes on there. Also sitting Ward in favor of McCardell. If I did this last week I would have won... oh well... it is a marathon and not a sprint.

I'm actually in the same boat.. I have Anderson and T. Jones, but I think i'm going to start T.Jones over Anderson. The Benson thing scares me, but Denver's history vs. SD, along with Anderson may lose a few carries to Dayne/Bell, I'm gonna roll the dice with T.Jones.. His history vs Det is pretty good, especiallly last year.
 
I'm in the same boat - I always have my bench blow up and my starters stink, then I reverse and the same thing happens. Last week, I started M Anderson & A Lelie with McCardell and LJohnson on the bench, now I'm afraid if I start McCardell & Johnson, Anderson & Lelie will go off!! :cry: I guess that's why we love the game!

Didnt think about matchups that much but if Anderson/Den doesnt do well vs. SD and Jones has done decent vs. Detroit... I may have to switch back to Jones.
 
Sunday morning dilemmas! Ya gotta lovem! Well not really. I am debating between Mike Anderson vs Issac Bruce as my flex this week. Right now I have MA starting but i'm not 100% sold as of the moment.

 
I know - it's the whole risk/reward dilemma - I got a whopping 3 pts from M Anderson last week and can't afford to have him play one series and sit the rest out this week. I'm playing it safe. (Then again, I have never won a championship!) :P

 
IMPORTANT - please keep this thread focused on news about Anderson - not the "should I start X over Anderson?" Thanks.J

 
I completely agree that Anderson is the man with Denver right now, but with the rib injury, I'm not sure how much that will affect his game.Does anyone have any historical information on starters with similar injuries? Did they play the following week, and if so, how much did they play?

Does anyone have any historical information on starters with similar injuries? Did they play the following week, and if so, how much did they play?
I believe both portis and travis Henry had similar injuries in 2003 with varying outcomes. If I remember correctly (could probably be gleaned from game logs) Henry missed 1 game, Portis two and parts of a few more
 
For what its worth, here are two pieces of information I collected on RBs with previous injuries.Julius Jones - Sept 9, 2004 - Rib injury with torn Cartlidge. DID NOT PLAY the next game.Ahman Green - November, 2004 - Rib injury with torn Cartlidge. DID NOT PLAY the next game, then the following week after only played for 11 carries for 37 yards.Sports Medicine Journal Says the following on rib injuries:What is a rib injury? The 12 ribs on each side of your chest may be bruised, strained, broken, or separated. All of the ribs are attached to the vertebrae (backbone) in the rear. In the front, 10 of them are attached to the sternum (breastbone) by pieces of cartilage. Direct blows to the ribs may bruise or break the ribs or injure the rib cartilage. The ribs may tear away from the cartilage that attaches them to the breastbone. This tearing away from the cartilage is called a costochondral separation. How does it occur? Rib injuries usually result from a direct blow to the chest wall. Breaks usually occur in the curved portion of the outer part of the rib cage. A costochondral separation may occur from trauma, when you land hard on your feet, or even when you cough or sneeze violently. What are the symptoms? A rib injury causes pain and tenderness over the place of injury. You may have pain when you breathe, move, laugh, or cough. How is it treated? To help your injury heal, your provider may recommend that you: • Rest. • Put an ice pack over the injured rib for 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days or until the pain goes away. • Take an anti-inflammatory or other pain medicine. • Wear a rib belt, which your health care provider may suggest for very painful injuries. The belt works as a girdle for your chest and helps support your ribs. It limits movement of your ribs when you cough, breathe, or move your body in other ways. This helps decrease pain. If you wear a rib belt, your provider will give you breathing exercises to help you avoid lung complications. How long will the effects last? Bruised ribs and a costochondral separation usually take 3 to 4 weeks to heal. Broken ribs take 6 to 8 weeks to heal. When can I return to my normal activities? Everyone recovers from an injury at a different rate. Return to your activities will be determined by how soon your ribs recover, not by how many days or weeks it has been since your injury has occurred. The goal of rehabilitation is to return you to your normal activities as soon as is safely possible. If you return too soon you may worsen your injury. ***************************************To sum it all up, not to say Anderson is more of a health stud than Julius or Ahman, but having torn cartlidge in one week and coming to play in the following week is extremely risky for further injury.With the top money coaching staff are payng for their team doctors, I cannot see Anderson playing a whole game, and probably not even a half of the game.My bet is that we'll see Bell and Dayne have a majority of the carries. I expect Dayne to have to prove himself at the goalline as Bell couldn't punch it in last week.

 
re: Saints post.Anderson will start but could be spelled quickly due to irritating the injury.Bell will get bulk of carries if injury happens, which most likely will due to the risk of long term injury.Dayne, while may not getting all goalline carries, will spell Bell if the bulk of the carries are had by Bell. The one reason not to use Dayne would be his lack of catching ability when compared to Bell.Thus, start Anderson if he is your only option, start Bell and Anderson if you would like to shore up the Den running game, and start Dayne if you are a hopeful man/woman today.I will wait for the tv data to come on but I am, right now, thinking 80% Jones and 20% Anderson.

 
I have the option of Anderson or Barlow today after a deal for Willie Parker fell through, I think that Anderson gets the nod and I will hope for the best.

 
I'm in the same boat - I always have my bench blow up and my starters stink, then I reverse and the same thing happens. Last week, I started M Anderson & A Lelie with McCardell and LJohnson on the bench, now I'm afraid if I start McCardell & Johnson, Anderson & Lelie will go off!! :cry:

I guess that's why we love the game!
Ahhh, you see - that is the mistake you made. NEVER put your Johnson on the bench. :no:
 
IMPORTANT - please keep this thread focused on news about Anderson - not the "should I start X over Anderson?" Thanks.

J
And for those who might be wondering something like that, if you have another RB with a pulse at your disposal, starting him over Anderson might be a good idea.

Mile High + breathing = bench Anderson if you have other options.

There's news in here? Well, maybe on the first page of the thread.

Dayne, while may not getting all goalline carries, will spell Bell if the bulk of the carries are had by Bell. The one reason not to use Dayne would be his lack of catching ability when compared to Bell.

I'm not sure you really understand that Denver situation that well. Three main points need to be made...First, Tatum Bell isn't going to see another goal line carry this season if Shanahan can at all avoid it.

Second, Dayne doesn't have a "lack of catching ability" when compared to Bell. Bell is far and away the worst receiving back on the roster- and that includes Cecil Sapp and Kyle Johnson, too.

Third, again, from what I've read, Denver's doctors have told Anderson that there's no risk of long-term injury. They've told him he can play today without worsening. While I respect your opinion, unless you're a doctor, I'm going to believe them over you. Sorry.

I lived for 15 years in Colorado Springs, which is even higher altitude than Denver. Breathing is only difficult at the altitude if your body is not accustomed to it. For someone who lives in Denver, breathing in Denver with that rib injury would be about as difficult as someone who lives in Miami breathing in Miami with that rib injury. Again, that's just anecdotal speculation based on my own experiences. No, I've never broken ribs or separated cartilidge.

Re: :rolleyes:

First - One game of Tatum not getting in when the whole team stunk is reason to not give him any more carries there? Maybe one bad game negates a career of sucking.. i.e. Dayne

Second - How many balls does Dayne catch? In his college career? In his NFL career? Dayne is not a receiving RB. Did he all of a sudden become one... no. Any other RB is better at catching the ball then Dayne and to think otherwise is ludicrous.

Third - An injury is an injury. A person who has one is more susceptible to more damage then a person that does not have said injury. Whatever doctors say and whatever you would like to believe if Anderson has bruised ribs he is more susceptible to more damage to them then a person who does not have that injury.

Whatever floats your boat though.

I think the concern here is that NO ONE knows how many carries Anderson will get. The overall fact is that based on injuries to other players in the RB position, rib injuries involving cartlidge tend to not be a 1 week miracle heal based on the injuries to Jones and Green as stated earlier.I believe we all know he will play, but the REAL question is how much, and frankly, I just can't see it for the entire game. But then again, I may be wrong, along with everyone else in this post as we are just speculating.
 
Left Stephen Davis and his 3 TDs on the bench for Mike Anderson.Anderson better AT LEAST play the whole game.I'm furious.Any updates?
