But then, I remember Elway in his rookie season . . .

But back to Young: I believe he will do just fine if he can prove durability.

Yep like when John lined up behind the guard.

Jay didn't look like he was lost to me.

Same here I think Selvin will be fine.

If Selvin wasn't 24 I'd feel a lot better.

What that have do with anything? Mike Anderson was 26 when we drafted him.

I didn't get that either.

ME to, especially since Young has showed a higher maturity then a 24 year old should have. Shanahan has talked about it, and that heady play to knock the ball out of bounds was a good example of it.

I don't think age is the issue IMO.

Mike Anderson was a non-traditional athlete. I don't like old rookies. SORRY.

Mike is non-traditional because he was in the Marine Corp before going to college?

I don't consider being 24 old for a rookie. Cutler was 22 or 23 when we drafted him.

In reference to the draft, yeah - not many people his age actually go through the draft.

I don't consider being 24 old for a rookie. Cutler was 22 or 23 when we drafted him.

Of course it's old for a rookie, that's why scouts lower the grades of most players who end up being older than usual. Cutler turned 23 the day we drafted him.

But considering Henry is suspended, i'm not worried about the running game until it gives me reason to worry. It does take a step back if Henry is lost and it's a huge blow for the season, but regardless, we're going to run the ball and whoever is at RB is going to get their 20 to 30 carries a game.

Denver is a running team, it's what they do.

My concern, if or when Henry is gone, is how defenses will now/then play us.

There's enough pressure on Cutler as is.

I'm fine with Young or Bell or Sapp. Alot of rushing yards means nothing if your running game is'nt affective when you need it to be.

Just move the chains!

its funny because i dont think there is that much pressure on jay. i think we are kinda holding him back. yeah, its possible because we want him to learn etc.etc. but i think if we take the chains off a little, and let him go out there and do his thing he should be better

I don't know Under, Jay may not be under alot of pressure right now but if our running game goes down the toilet because of Henry then he will be.

23 is better.

that was a joke...because I'm 23...


but I promise you Selvin Young's body is in a lot better condition at 24 than Jay's was at 23...since Young rode the pine alot at Tejas.

Yeah, you're right. 1,500 yards in 2000, 1,000 yards in a rbbc situation in
2005 . . . goes to show you can't produce when you're an old piece of meat.

It didn't make any sense to me either.
