FoxSports.com's Alex Marvez is reporting that Denver signed Correll Buckhalter and JJ Arrington just after midnight....it is not confirmed by another sources yet, but Marvez is rarely wrong.....if it is true, the Broncos have ganked the 1st two free agent defectees of the period....
Wow, what a turn around in reputation....Denver used to be the place that unknown RBs went to become stars, now Mamba has them as the place RBs go to get maimed....interesting turn of events....
That is what happens when they are division rivals and go through like 7 starting RB's in the last year. Who was their last extremely productive RB? Mike Anderson? Clinton Portis? (I can't remember if he was before or after Anderson) Tatum Bell had a decent year with them, didn't he?
That amazing depth did them jack shit though. They totally blew it down the stretch. They should be focusing on improving that defense more than anything.
Bell went of 1000 yards three years ago, but that is hardly a sign of greatness in a 16 game season....Anderson was there before and after Portis....Portis was the last real star....
Peyton Hillis produced very well for them but got injured against KC late into the year. You can only ask so much from them.
You can respect his average all you want, that doesn't make him an every down back. Team didn't really game plan for him.
The Broncos still get good production out of guys that most teams consider afterthoughts....they have not had a true star since Portis, but they are always solid running the football as a team....Buckhalter could be a star in Denver....
You're wrong about that, they just used more of a committee after Clinton left. They were able to recreate Portis' production there for two years after he left, then they kind of dipped off. To lose 6 RBs but still get 1800+ rushing yards last season is a great achievement as a team.
