Randall Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Tatum Bell working out for Broncos By Mike Klis The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 11/11/2008 10:08:54 AM MST The Broncos are taking a look at Tatum Bell. The former Broncos tailback who rushed for 921 yards in 2005 and 1,025 yards in 2006 will work out for the team this morning, according to several NFL sources. Bell would make sense given team's extraordinary injury predicament at tailback and his familiarity with the system. At taiback, the Broncos have lost Michael Pittman, Andre Hall, and Ryan Torain to season-ending injuries and a fourth tailback, Selvin Young has been bothered the past month with a groin strain. The Broncos selected Bell with their second-round pick in the 2004 draft. He averaged 5.3 yards a carry in his first two seasons, then reached the 1,000-yard threshold in his third. He was then traded to Detroit, along with right tackle George Foster, prior to last season in exchange for cornerback Dre' Bly. Bell, 27, opened the 2008 preseason as the Lions' No. 1 tailback, but he was released Sept. 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furd Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 A risky signing. Bell brings a lot a baggage with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmayes Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 A risky signing. Bell brings a lot a baggage with him. and Furd is the only one to pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelShaft Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Assuming that Bell has a complete set of luggage now, it is hard to not get interested in a potential starting running back at this point of the season. Especially one that that faces the Raiders & Chiefs at home in the next 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Bell brings a lot a baggage with him. ...and a questionable ability to tote the rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 How many carries will he steal from Hillis this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyjets Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hillis probably returns to the fullback role and doesn't get any carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziachild007 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 2. How can anyone suggest that stealing luggage is like dealing coke, driving around with many guns looking for a fight, or all the other real crimes that happen? If I were a player in the Broncos, I think the luggage/cash deal would be a bigger issue to me. He did this to another player, while all of the other stuff was done on the players "own" time.

Randall Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 and Furd is the only one to pull it off. True. Maybe they'll use him like a rented Ford Festiva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorstCoachingEver Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 How many carries will he steal from Hillis this week? A bunch, b/c he prefers to do his thievery while on camera... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanCT Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Well, to be fair, a lot of Tatum's baggage isn't even his. I just hope he doesn't carry on the way he did before and can steal the show on his next trip back to Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sure, he can carry baggage, but he's no Joey Porter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
