What RB will make the roster, where at on roster, and why?

lol, you forgot Thrash tho.
and jansen

anyways, if anybody is going to replace someone on that lineup of 3, I'll say Alridge

they've had him doing returns, lining up as a wideout, and running the rock - versatility that Rock can't provide, or at least hasn't been asked to

a lot of people in Denver were excited about Alridge before his injury and I think that this year or next he could easily be a number 3 back anywhere and a number 2 on many teams

1. Portis
2. Betts
3. Alridge (also returning kicks)

There. I said it. I love Rock but sooner or later he'll go. I predict sooner. I believe that the FO picked up two speed burners early in the offseason for a reason.

I agree. I know we go through this every year with Rock, but if one of these guys can push him at all, I believe they'll let him go. At least I think that's what they are really trying to do. Rock is good, but I really think they're trying to add some speed.

I have a feeling they are not in love with Rock. Seems like they went out of the way to bring in competition.

It was also brought up that the rules have changed in regards to how KR's are blocked which will put a damper on players like Rock who rely on holes being made and hitting them fast and decleating opponants. Now it seems everyone may be looking for the speed guy who can get up field quicker and possibly make opponants miss a few tackles.

I think this yr Rock is let go for a more faster/shiftier back who can do all the jobs, KR/PR/RB/WR.

Now do I see Betts going anywhere....no. but if Zorn is looking to get younger or to have a younger guy for Portis to mold for our future then I see him as gone.

Portis
Mason (under dog man crush)
Aldridge (complete small package)
Dorsey (Practice squad)

I see the future of the RB's. Then I realized I was day dreaming;

Portis
Betts
Aldridge
Dorsey....maybe practice squad. Depends on how well he does.

I don't think Mason can go on practic squad again since he was on a roster last yr. I think he gets let go ....again.

Orakpo has a really fast 40 time. I know it would never happen but I would love too see him get the rock right up the middle for short yardage plays. I am sure if he can bench 530pd he probably wont fumble.

Definitely agree. I love that Rock never leaves us in a bad position and that he isn't afraid, but sometimes you see a hole and it's like damn man, why didn't you go for that instead of just hitting the 2 guys that you're one blocker is trying to hold back?

And the rule, I don't even know why that exists, it's ridiculous. If someone is a couple yards out is that no longer a wedge? no 3 man? what about 2 up front, 2 behind.. or 2 groups of 2 side by side with a gap in the middle?

did we really lose many (or any) players to a 3 man wedge last year in the NFL?

agreed its gonna be the same as last year

1. Portis
2. Betts (dont HATE EM, but hes so damn tradeable... i want a dif #2)
3. Cartwright
