way off topic here, but what record would be better?5-5-1 or6-5

Looks very similar to me - suspect between the tackles, good ability once he turns the corner and looks to have serious durability issues. I like Young but I said the same thing after the Packers-Broncos game - he reminds me of Tatum Bell. Bell had some damn good games as the Denver starter last season too but ultimately couldn't hold up.

Young's not suspect between the tackles, though. If anything is suspect between the tackles, it's Denver's offensive line, which has lost Hamilton and Nalen already for the season.

TBells game was speed, and that's it. He couldn't catch, he couldn't block, he couldn't convert a 3rd and 1. Selvin looks much better in all aspects thus far.

6-5. When dealing with ties, count them as half a win and half a loss (so 5-5-1 is the same as 5.5-5.5).

Thanks

On running to your wire to pick up Hall: I just don't have the energy.

Hall got lucky, imho.

Hall out with an injury and Young back in.

Gotta agree.

Bell also had some strong games as the starter last season and performed well. But durability was his primary problem. That's clearly Young's primary problem as well since he's now had to leave two of his three starts due to injury. I respect your right to disagree but I watch him and see Tatum Bell all over again.

And most impotantly couldn't hold onto the ball- the fastest way to the Shanny doghouse.

Titans off-season TO DO list...1. Resign Albert2. Sign some freaking WRs.3. Cut Lendale and Troupe.

1. Absolute necessity.2. Sign one bigger and draft another.3. Troupe -- no brainer. Lendale is a decent RB but he is not what is going to get the Titans over the hump.4. Tie Reynaldo Hill up in a burlap bag. Stop the bus on the way to the airport and kick him out.5. Brandon Jones -- under no circumstances do you put him back to return punts. Ever.

Lucky to break the tackle or lucky to outrun the rest of the defense to the endzone?

I would hardly classify durability as Bell's primary problem. I'd call Bell's primary problem inconsistency, his secondary problem ball security, his tertiary problem blocking, and his quaternary problem durability.

I think the main problem he had was he couldn't be trusted with 20+ carries a game as the starter. We're seeing some signs that Young may have the same problem. You know your Broncos, but I was a Bell owner last season and a Young owner this season I swear I'm watching the same thing happen all over again.

Bell would have gotten a lot more 20+ carry games if he could have been counted on to gain positive yardage at a more reliable rate. That's not a question of durability, that's a question of too many negative plays.

Emmitt has a very hard time talking

I didn't see Hall coming in until after Young tweaked his knee...last year, Bell and Bell pretty much exchanged series. Completely different utilization, IMO.

That was for the first couple of games. And then Tatum Bell was given the starting job outright and held it for a few games and performed extremely well, leading the AFC in rushing. He then suffered turf toe injuries and remained the starter, only to be so injured he couldn't produce. That would open the door for Mike Bell to come in and play and he almost always played well. Watching tonight's game, I could've swore I was watching Tatum Bell again and Mike Bell again. One guy started, but he couldn't finish and it was the backup who was a much more productive fantasy option.

 

[Courtjester]

Good win.

Next week is one of those games that could make or break the season.

Looking at next week, when the season started, I penciled that in as a loss to Chicago. But with that team struggling like it is, if they can steal one there, Denver maybe could (I say maybe) could make some noise in the AFC

 

[SSOG]

To clarify why I don't think durabilty was what was holding back Tatum Bell... Tatum didn't have any more durability concerns coming into the league than Clinton Portis, and he didn't get any more nicked up during his first two seasons than Portis. Despite this, Shanahan ran Portis into the ground, but was constantly looking for reasons NOT to use Bell. That's not durability, that just speaks to the consistency of the two as runners. Both averaged comparable yards per carry, but Portis got his ypc on consistently positive plays, while Bell had a ton of negative plays offset by a few hugely positive plays.

With all due respect, Packersfan... I've always been one of the more outspoken critics of Tatum Bell (back before criticizing Tatum Bell was cool), but I really don't think that he's a good comp for Selvin. Entirely different situations, IMO.

The pass-catcher issues in Tennessee could not have been more apparent then last night. Ho. Ly. Cow. Imagine if Stallworth had taken the Titans money instead of New Englands (Ten. offered more.)? Gotta resign ALbert, get Pac Man back, get someone with some hands. I think the RB postition is an open competition next year.

Marshall with a case of Reggie Bush disease.

Hey man leave Bush alone.

That's what she said.

Something particularly funny about someone named "Spanker" saying this.
