How sick nasty is Knowshon gonna be this year?

[Requiem / The Dagda]

All right. I just want to know how many total yards Moreno is going to gain offensively. He's got OROY in the bag, all we have to do is guess how great he is going to be. My guess is monumental. If he didn't get 4,000 all-purpose yards off the bat I'd be surprised.

[Benetto]

Well, you knew he was the future before anyone even thought of him as a Bronco...So your prediction makes me excited.

I'm giddy in anticipation of finding out. :dance:

[Dortoh]

With all the changes and teams not respecting Orton/Simms (early atleast) its going to be tuff going but he will still manage 1k -1.5k

[honz]

3600 All Purpose Yards. 28 Touchdowns. 1 Lombardi Trophy.

[Slick]

He'll be great if he can stay healthy. It's hard not to be excited about the kid.

[ikillz0mbies]

He'll make the Hall of Fame after this year. They'll also rename the Lombardi Trophy the Moreno Trophy.

[T.K.O.]

i think he will rush for around 1600 and pick up another 300-400 recieving
and yes a superbowl ring !:elefant:

no wait.....i think he'll rush for a total of 88 yds
avg 2 ypc
44 td's !!!!!

[Requiem / The Dagda]

I like the optimism. Splendor at its best, Moreno is a modern day King Tut.

[Magnificent Seven]

Hillis + Moreno = Power Trip

[NameUsedBefore]

I think the team is going to struggle with passing which will put opposing defenses on the run-game. Along with sharing carries for awhile and getting the hang of NFL speed, I don't think he'll crack 1,000 but he'll look ballin' down the stretch.

[underrated29]

well we do have the ravens, giants, steelers, pats, boltsx2, all teams that are/were top 5 teams in run defense.


So looking at that schedule id say

2k all purpose baby!

Chris Johnson was on his way to shredding all those teams, and the ravens in the playoffs before he got hurt. Knowshon will eat pieces of shyt like them for breakfast.

He is going to tear the league up like a MA'FU***R.

[JKcatch724]

Where's the option for 7,000 rushing yards?

[BroncoSojia]

Knowshon is so sick-nasty that you have to wear a quarantine suit just to walk up to him and ask for an autograph.

He drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon with a drop shot of Jack, a shake of Colt 45, a dose of tabasco and lime and a prune juice chaser.

Knowshon is so sick he sends his cleats to Kobe Bryant to polish before each game, and they come back GLEAMING. :coffee:

[WARHORSE]

There that one clip of Knowshon running in the passing camps on DB.com and man, not only can you tell Turner has been on him, but that guy is SMOOOOOOOTH.

I figure between 1500 and 1700 total yards sharing the load.

[WARHORSE]

Knowshon Moreno is SO SICK AND NASTY, that every time TD, Emmitt, Sanders, Dickerson, Allen and LT see him carry the rock, they all get a pup tent blazin at full salute.:salute:

[Shazam!]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here... some make him out to be the next TD without even playing a game.

[bcbronc]

there are a lot of weapons on this offense, so Moreno won't be getting force fed the ball, especially early in the season. I'm as high on him as everyone else, but I'm not expecting more than a 1000 all-purpose yards on the season (unless he's a main KR guy, which I'm not expecting). Marshall will need his touches, so will Eddie, it's sounding like McDaniels likes the miss-matches Scheffler and Hillis create, and Buckhalter is a good back in his own right. it's going to be hard for Moreno to get enough touches to put up a ton of yards.

but I am expecting him to score 98% of the time he does get the ball and I'll be disappointed if he averages less than 35 yards per touch. :beer:

[WARHORSE]

The man......the myth.......the Moreno.

http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.php?id=349&videoID=3310&type=broncosTV&year=&month=

[horsepig]

He won't get enoughm touches to get sick no.s, but he'll get some real quality carries, I guarantee that.

[atwater27]

Guy hasn't even made starter yet. I will withhold my judgement.

Can you post that one please. I cant find it.

[Thnikkaman]

Knowshawn will get 1k as will Hillis.

[BroncoTech]

I don't know if you've looked the roster lately but this kid is a shoe in to start. He going to average 1500 yards for his career.Some of these free agents running backs need to go home. They were worthless acquisitions.

He's a man amongst gomers.

[Broncospsycho77]

He'll split with Buckhalter for the first few games of the season, so that'll be to his detriment... Teams will fear him, though, in a Jonathon Stewart-on-the-Panthers kind of way.

Just shy of 1000, IMO, but that's because I think Buckhalter getting close to 1000 also.

Bucky is going to be 3rd on the depth chart.

It will be:

Moreno
jordan
bucky
torain

Buck wont see much. And i think Hillis might take away from buck even more. There is no way buck even gets to 300 yards.

[MadMax]

I think Knowshon will be awesome next year, but will never be able to match his first year production once somebody drafts... Brandon Spikes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IQShWogLzw) ;)

I appreciate the optimism most of us are showing in this poll, but those of you who voted 1501-2000 and 2000+ need to step away from the punch bowl. Especially if you are going to be driving! Correct me if I am wrong, but the all time rookie record is well under 1300 yards.

DIDNT adrian peterson get 1700+ in his rook year?

Portis got 1300+ or was it 1500+ in his rook year.

Steven Jax- got i believe approx 1600+ combined yards his rook year.


But beside that point. The fact is this guy is sooo legit its not even funny. Would i rather have had the guy i wanted last year- JStew.....MMMMM.. its that close of a call. Probably Stewie, but just because he is faster.

if they were the same speed, i dont know. But stewie had 1k yards last year almost in split carries the whole year and only averging like 10 carries a game.

Moreno can easily eclipse that, plus the dude can catch and Jmcd is going to use tons and tons of screens.... He will hit it no prob.

The poll says ALL-PURPOSE YARDAGE so it's not ridiculous at all to assume that he could rush for 1000 and catch for 500.

My apology, I did misread the question. I thought it was just rushing yards. May have had something to do with me see the less the 500 yards option. I hope that the one that voted he would get less the 500 yards would say they did the same. The only way he doesn't get that is if he gets injured. I also want to change my vote to 1000-1500.

I agree with both of you, alot of weapons for the ball to go around to. Regardless, all I care about is the BRONCOS winning;). (pretty cliche huh:D)

[lex]

If he doesnt rush for at least 1,000 yards, Id question whether he was worth the pick and whether McDaniels is the right coach.

[Broncos Mtnman]

OK, I'll correct you....

Most yards from scrimmage for a rookie...

2,212 Eric Dickerson, L.A. Rams, 1983 (1,808 rush., 404 rec.)
2,139 Edgerrin James, Indianapolis, 1999 (1,553 rush., 586 rec.)
1,924 Billy Sims, Detroit, 1980 (1,303 rush., 621 rec.)

[BroncoWave]

:lol::lol::lol: Yeah, sure. THAT is what it's going to take for you to question McD as the right coach.

BTW, how are your Rams doing in OTA's?

1,924 Billy Sims, Detroit, 1980 (1,303 rush., 621 rec.)

Thanks for the stats! :salute:

So turns out it IS possible for the 2000 total. Not likely, granted, but there is precedent for it.

Apparently my memory of a stat on saw on TV years ago is badly jumbled. Never-the-less, a back rushing for 1,300+ yards is in the elite company of a current HOF (Dickerson), a future HOF (James), and someone who was putting together a HOF career before it got cut short by injury (Sims). Perdicting that Knowshon will dublicate their feats is expecting an awful lot out of any back.

I dont know. Why dont you bring me the newspaper...and a cup of coffee.

And, yes, McDaniels has a lot to prove. And I especially hope he doesnt get busted for cheating while in Denver like he did in New England.

[Broncos Mtnman]

I don't disagree with you here, especially since Mickey Mouse's offenses in the past haven't relied on a single back to carry the load.

Oh please elaborate on what McDaniels specifically got busted for in New England.

[underrated29]

Knowshon was at lodos two nights ago. I didnt see him but some friends of mine did. They said he was real cool.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Of course he is cool, he is Knowshon Moreno. Cooler than Terrell Davis that is for damn sure.

[Zweems56]

Easily 2000 yards. Duh.

[BroncoWave]

Easily 2000 yards. Duh.

And that's only if he feels like taking it easy on the league this year. No need to embarrass everyone too badly!

[Requiem / The Dagda]

That is right. Knowshon has others things to do besides scoring touchdowns and playing like OJ on the field. Like this. . .

It doesnt look like she is from the pictures but she was pretty dark skinned he said. :Whoknows:

Knowshon knows what is up. He was playing card and drinking games with a few girls before getting called by us at #12. He is sick nasty.

Right about a minute 20 in you'll see Orton I believe hand the ball off to him on a run. He does a quick jump cut behind the line and then squirts out and off tackle. Very, very nice.

No pads yet, but I cant wait.

Knowshon Moreno can't jump. He's not as fast as McFadden either.
He's got the moves though. I say 2000+.
