I love Shanahan... not

Classic "keep 'em guessing" Shanahan...

 

Shanahan was stumped when reminded he had traded away the team's leading runners of the past three seasons.

 

Mike Anderson, the 2005 leader with 1,014 yards was sent away to Baltimore during the offseason. Clinton Portis (2003) was dealt to Washington.

 

"Who did we trade away before last season," Shanahan asked?

 

It was Reuben Droughns, who ran for 1,240 yards in 2004. He was sent to Cleveland.

 

"We've got a lot of confidence with our guys," Shanahan said. "We feel like we have a number of players like Cecil Sapp that could do a great job playing at the tailback position for us."

 

When told third-year running back Tatum Bell wanted more carries this coming season, Shanahan said: "I'd sure like to give him the ball more, considering how productive he was. He's been very good early in games and not as consistent at the end of the games and we're hoping he can get over that hump."

 

Bell had 173 carries for 921 yards. He had an impressive 5.3-yards per carry average.<

Coming from a Raider fan...

 

He's a great coach. The Bronco's are always good, always. He has proven the backfield can be a plug-and-play system, so why question his trades? His needing to be reminded could be a Bill Parcell's-like "she" psychology.

I do think that there's some psychology behind Shanahan's words and actions. I haven't figured it out though.
