If Henry is out, I'd expect Bell to see 5-10 carries a game and Young to see 15-20. that is, until Young fumbles.

vs. Andre Hall

Fixed.
I think the boiled down condenced version is that Young is the primary backup for the immediate future and short term. You are fine right now. If you have the roster space or are in a keeper league, grab Hall for the future and maybe this yr, depending on the breaks. But, Young is the man for now it seems. Hall is a big talent that could get a shot too.

Young was the consensus back up last week.This week it is Hall.I'd be worried.

Young has been and still is the backup. In the preseason a lot of people were saying Hall was looking special and they wanted to see him get his chance. If/when Henry goes out, the depth charts would indicate Young will be given every opportunity. However, if Hall truly is that talented, I see no reason he won't start getting carries.
Let's face it-outside of Henry, no rb on the Broncos has proven to be a superstar. I'd imagine the job would be up for grabs and if no one emerged it would become a rbbc.

Please don't spread misinformation, even in jest. Hall is not the backup this week. This week, the backup is still Young. The backup will continue to be Young for the forseeable future.ScoobyDoo said:
Yup, Shanahan likes his FBs so much that he gave Reuben Droughns a shot as soon as Mike Anderson, Quentin Griffin, Tatum Bell, and Garrison Hearst all got injured.

Not true. Young is the backup. Too much 5 min Drill love in this thread. I expect Young to do very well when given the reins, but Hall will get some reps also. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what Shanahan will do long term, but I do know that if Young excels, how could he play Hall over Young? One thing he probably will do if that is the case, is to trade him next spring for a 1st day pickScoobyDoo said:

I think its clearly Young, but there are many good reasons to believe Sapp/Bell could steal carries if Young isn't successful. HOWEVER, Young has looked very good thus far, so I'd bet he would win out. I don't get the Andre Hall man-crushes on this board - he can barely get off the practice squad....

SSOG, you always seem to give quality analysis of the Denver situation. What are your opinions regarding the current RBs behind Henry?

Lots of guys who Shanahan would feel comfortable giving the ball to, but no game-breakers (I suppose Selvin has potential to be one, but if he were there, he'd be getting more carries right now). The simple fact is that we really don't know HOW the backup battle is going to shake out because there's nothing to go on- Henry is healthy, getting all the reps, and getting all of the carries in game, so there's no sample for us to project based off of. All I know is that Selvin is getting the 2nd-string reps, and he's the first person to get touches when Henry takes a breather (Sapp and Bell are usually running form the FB position), so based on that, it seems pretty obvious that Shanahan considers him the #2. I'll roll with that until Shanahan gives me some solid data to believe otherwise.So, now that we've established that Selvin will be the primary ballcarrier with Henry out, all that's left to do is figure out how the carries will be broken down (whether Selvin will get 75% of the carries, or whether it'll be 60% Selvin and 40% everyone else, or even a 50/30/20 type of split). At this point, that's all just a bunch of guesswork and unfounded speculation, and anyone who claims otherwise is probably trying to sell something (or perhaps buy something). I could give you my guesses, but that's all they are- guesses, darts thrown at a dartboard. I don't know how much Young will get, in large part because I haven't even seen enough of Young to know how he'll do once he starts getting consistent opportunities. Lots of potential for huge value there, but no guarantees.
Just wanted to bump this - reading through all the posts - trying to size up everything (knowing that Shanahan is likely to do anything):
2007 (assuming Henry gets suspended): Selvin Young with sprinkles of Andre Hall???
2008 : Andre Hall???
Judging from how high the FBG staff is on Hall, I'm tempted to think that Selvin may be the flavor of 2007 and Hall (or "some guy off the street") is 2008????
Thoughts???
Any way that he reverts back to Mike Bell for 2007 or 2008?

shanny's a used car salesman. he likes to take the beaters, shine them up nice, and sell them to some poor team for their best CB (hopefully, he'll start selling them for defensive linemen or some linebackers now).
so i assume he'll leave selvin young in for a while to showcase him enough to sell him and then move on this his next restoration project.

Yes, there's a chance that he reverts back to Bell. If Bell's playing the best, Bell's getting more PT. Regardless, Selvin's going to get first shot at the job.As for who the guy is in 2008... depending on what happens with Henry, I think Henry's still going to be the guy. After that? No clue. Denver's constantly churning its RBs. I'd have to know who was even on the team before beginning to guess, especially if Denver takes an RB in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th round, as it has been wont to do in the past.

Interesting how varied the opinions are on Denver's running game.
I was just commenting on how Hall seems to be who everyone is geeked about this week and that's only a week after everyone was geeked to pick up Young.
I think we can safely say that Henry was a safe and good pick during the draft but after him no one knows. It's too bad Henry is turning into a disaster.

IMO it's

MBell
Hall
Sapp
Henry is facing a suspension. Bell has/had a concussion. Young, for some reason, has a rep for fumbling in college :shuked:, Hall is very unproven. Sapp has been passed up continually by a bunch of nobodies.
And that's where we are

I love this misconception about Shanny. Besides last year all of his moves at RB came from injuries. He already said at the beginning of the year....Young is a starter in this league...meaning he has the talent.

Consensus with you and your friends? Where is your source stating Hall is the immediate backup?
