Broncos rookie Hillis out for season

[Kevin Greene]

We won't have to face their hot rook this week.

Looks like Tatum Bell.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' backfield carousel shows no sign of slowing down.

Rookie Peyton Hillis, who had energized the Broncos offense over the last month, became the fifth Denver running back to go on injured reserve this season when medical tests showed he had a torn right hamstring behind the knee.

The Broncos now will turn to tailback , who was selling cell phones at a Denver-area mall before he was re-signed last month. The team also will promote from the practice squad to compete with to serve as Bell's backup.

Or Cory Booooyyyd! Former Gamecock!

Too bad he'll get his first NFL experience in a loss...

[Seamonk]

the sad thing is.... Shanahan can get anyone to run the ball effectively...

And we don't even get to face Colbert at receiver? Damn.

Ouch...I hope he has a fast recovery.

Panthers 9 point favorites over the Broncos. Let's take care of business.

He was on my fantasy team.... I was very upset!!!!! but that's okay because it means I don't have to worry about whether or not to start him this week because he's playing the panthers.... Which is the reason I didn't start antonio bryant last night, and that bit me in the ass lol good thing I was up 30 before the game!

Denver with no running attack? Haven't we already played Arizona?

In all seriousness, we've got to shore up some holes in our secondary or else it's going to be a long day against Denver. Teams seem to pass at will against us, especially when running three and four wide.

Our linebackers, however, seem to be improving in pass defense, so that's a good sign.

before anyone gets too excited, keep in mind that denver's rushing attack relies heavily on their zone blocking and not the RB.

iirc, they've been thru 4-5 RBs so far this season, but they still average more than 100 yards per game rushing.

I would be more worried about Cory Boyd that Peyton honestly.

As I mentioned in a couple of other posts, Tatum Bell was working at the mall a month ago. Between this and their utter lack of D, we should be able to handle Denver at home.

Beaux Berry...agreed...a one sided Denver O = Arizona-Lite...not scared.

bump, check out the run at the 2:38 mark. Pretty impressive.

This carousel is getting ridiculous. Although I'm ecstatic w/ Clady as our first round pick, I wanted J Stewart in the worst way. Denver prolly went the right direction long term/overall, but it's amazing how we keep going thru RBs.

I'd much rather have Hillis be healthy.

He's been incredible for us.

Damn injuries
