Duchess Jack Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Any reason to get excited about the Twinky Eating Fury that is Dayne? I picked him up on waivers last week. Were his numbers more about his beating up on a tired D or was he showing a little something behind the Denver Oline to get excited about?

yo mama Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Any reason to get excited about the Twinky Eating Fury that is Dayne? I picked him up on waivers last week. Were his numbers more about his beating up on a tired D or was he showing a little something behind the Denver Oline to get excited about? 1002016[/snapback] Well, at that point in the game Denver was looking to eat clock and get Elam, who'd missed a kick or two earlier in the day, better field position. It was late in the game and I guess Anderson might have been sore. And they didn't need a "home run TD" so Bell wasn't the answer. They just needed a healthy body to crash through garage-door sized holes in the line and keep the clock/chains moving. No fumbles. No penalties. Dayne fit the bill, given the conservative (though effective) end-game Broncos' strategy. I don't know if I'd read much into it, though, as I doubt Dayne is making a serious run at the starting position. To me, it looked like he merely cemented his status as a reliable situational player. Yes, Dayne's stock is up, but I wouldn't get too excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Anderson was sore... and Bell hurt himself on a special teams play earlier in the game, and Superstar Kyle Johnson already had his TD run... Dayne did a good job. His long run was a 4th and 1 fake up the middle, pitch play to the left that fooled the defense completely (kinda like LdT's did earlier in the game to us). All in all, as a Denver fan I hope he does get more carries. He got the job done when we needed it. Anderson is looking mighty weak these days, and the holes aren't quite as wide as they were last year, so Dayne provides some nice muscle to break through. I think the days of the unknown 1500 yard rusher are over in Denver though. Our running game doesn't look quite the same as it used to... so don't expect anything crazy.

Defenses will stack the line and force Plummer to beat them---a very unlikely possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Good luck reading into the tea leaves on who gets the Rock next week... 1003096[/snapback] Mike Anderson...but Dayne could take over by week 5... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Twinky Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Any reason to get excited about the Twinky Eating Fury that is Dayne? I picked him up on waivers last week. Were his numbers more about his beating up on a tired D or was he showing a little something behind the Denver Oline to get excited about? What did I ever do to him??? As an Anderson owner, I had the chance to pickup Dayne last week, and looked right past it. Anderson is the guy hands down when healthy. I'm not willing to empty another roster spot for such a slim possibility. I bet Dayne has never been called "slim" before. I'd rather take a chance with one of these waiver wire pickups than pickup Dayne: Brandon Jacobs (if he is still there) Ladell Betts Derrick Blaylock Shaud Williams Lamar Gordon S. T.

Randall Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Anderson talked on Sirius after the game and said the gameplan was for him to exit early, so that may have been part ofthe reason. He said his ribs were sore, but no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Anderson was truly THE guy I doubt that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I have a lot more faith in Anderson than Dayne. If I am going to take a flyer on one of them, then it will be Anderson. It makes sense to me to take a shot at which one you believe will be the main guy, but doesn't make sense to hold the whole running back corps on your limited fantasy roster. Tell you what, I would gladly go pickup Dayne and trade him to you for Anderson. Betcha wouldn't do it. S. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
