Broncos Runningback Roulette

[A.E]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - The Denver Broncos' crowded backfield has become a bit clearer with the release of third-year tailback Selvin Young.

Selvin is one of their best backs, how do you release him?

 

[DC4]

Unexpected imo.

 

[JoshHoward5]

Tsk tsk tsk Broncos. Someone will pick him up, he is a beast.

 

[dcrosco76]

Broncos are so stupid he is a beast of a back

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

SMH

 

[DC4]

lmfao

He's okay, not great, Shanahann's system would have allowed Ki-Jana Carter to be a good running back

 

[A.E]

The Broncos obviously won't be going into 2009 carrying 6-7 backs. Think about it...they just signed Jordan, Buckhalter and Arrington to deals...just drafted Knowshown.

Hillis, Torrain and Young were bound to see their way out of Denver regardless....Selvin just got axed first for some reason. Could of been b/c of a bonus or something....maybe he requested his release now, knowing it was coming.

Ah it's gonna suck seeing peyton hillis go, White RB ftw.

 

[MapleLeaf]

no white has won the rushing title in the nfl since 1977 lol

 

[DC4]

oh my.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Hopefully they will switch Peyton Hillis back to FB.

 

[jarrod2323]

would not be too surprised to see him head to Houston -- same type of system, and Texans are looking for a relief RB for Slaton

 

[jcrusick]

Yea Houston would be a good fit for Young. It seems any time the Broncos release anyone they end up in Houston anyways because of the Shanahan and Kubiak connection.

Hillis should go back to playing FB this year. But with the new coach you never know.

 

[tackling dummies]

Young was nothing special.

 

[kaeoz]

Die hard bronco fan here,

Hillis will be moved to a FB

Dont forget to add Darius Waker lol (practice squad 99%)

Ryan Torain is next to go

 

[tackling dummies]

Moreno will be the every down back from day one. There's too much filler aside from Moreno.
