junebugz Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Thank you for that sterling 17 carry, 28 yard, 1.6 ypc game yesterday which will almost undoubtedly lead to Tatum Bell having almost all carries when he is ready to return.

I also think Mike will probably have another chance vs. OAK. After being deactivated, I doubt Tatum comes back this week to light the highlight reel on fire.

Avernus Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Mike did something with his catches and I think everyone knew he would get handled against the Steelers......as would Tatum... I traded Mike Bell last week and hope to see him produce because I think he can do more with his carries than Tatum... Mike Bell will have well over 100 yds next week and 2 TD's...if he definately starts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 We did win, didn't we? Pitsburgh is tough against the run (unless it's an end-around). We'll see how Mike does next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) Did anyone notice Plummer being able to roll out effectively because PIT respected the inside run vs DEN? If you did notice, did you happen to notice how well Plummer operated rolling outside the pocket rather than being locked into the pocket? Does anyone think it is an accident that DEN has scored 31 points 2 weeks in a row with M Bell having a prominant roll in the backfield after not being able to score more than 17 points with T Bell as the featured RB for 6 weeks?

Give it up already ... Shenanigans doesn't read this bulletin board if you are hoping to persuade him. Yesterday had more to do with Javon Walker's playmaking ability than Mike Bell's. Or did Mike Bell make all three of those td's possible just because he is Mike Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game really bothered me. Speaking of things to notice. Anyone notice that when Warren is not in the game, the Denver DT's get pushed back every running play! This is a huge problem for the Denver D and says volumes about how good the LB's are if the DT's are getting pushed around. They either need to fatten someone up fast, or their 1st pick in the draft next year had better be a giant who cloggs up the middle. Also, it made me sick how little pressure we put on Roth, and how open his receivers were. If he was playing anywhere near what he played like last year, Denver would've lost this game.

News flash to junebugz: Shanahan doesn't give a flying #### about your FF team. Until you are the one paying Shanahan's salary, that's the way it's going to be. You ought to be the one giving it up. The simple fact is that with M Bell in at RB, DEN's O is functioning much better, regardless of whether M Bell is putting up big numbers for your FF team or not. You don't like it? Spare us the whining & trade M Bell to someone else, or waive him off your team. Edited November 6, 2006 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but for some reason, Shanahan has always done with spare parts & not expended a lot of money on the D-line. I'm not sure why, since as an offensive minded HC, he ought to know best what a strong D-line can do to dictate the way an offense functions.

That is why I would rather have Tatum Bell running the rock because he is on my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many good DE's in the past 5 years were not resigned by Denver and are now playing really well on other teams. Berry with AZ and the other guy at Jax. (Although I think the Jax player is injured right now). The one bright spot was Spears at LT. I thought he played very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I guess you should have traded him while he had more value. Now I'd say that you may be screwed. This could easily revert back to a RBBC when (if) T Bell gets healthy, or worse from the perspective of a T Bell owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 we shall see Well, you've got yourself in a coin flip situation: Shanahan's ego vs Shanahan's ego. Does Shanahan go back to T Bell as the featured RB because that's who he chose as the week 1 starter and he's willing to risk going back to scoring 17 pts or less a game, or does Shanahan surrender to using M Bell more (maybe a lot more) and having his offense become prolific again, enhancing his "mastermind" status? I'd guess that his ego has more of a fall-back position going with M Bell until the O doesn't function again, since he did name M Bell as a #1 RB during preseason.
