I like Jacob Hester. Tough, power runner, can catch out of the backfield and protect well enough. He played the FB/HB role when he was in SD. I think the only reason why he hasn't been signed yet has been injury issues. I'd like the signing if it happened.

Well, bring on the three headed Hillman/Ball/Noshow "monster" and we'll see how it works in KC. Ball can pass protect pretty well and usually gets positive (although not many) yards when given the chance.....Hillman will probably get his normal workload, and god help us all Noshow is going to have to do something (probably dance around behind the line and run up linemans backs). Ball and Hillman are both averaging 3.8 ypc...Mcgahee was averaging 4.4....a .6 difference isn't huge....until you need 4.2 yards. As long as we can run enough to keep teams honest and protect PFM we'll be fine.

Huh. I had hoped to have McGahee available for the first playoff game.

What does the team get out of doing this? The roster has no one expendable to drop instead? Or they're just certain he can't heal sooner?

well, that's assuming we make the playoffs. but if someone was dropped, could he be moved from Ir to active and forced to play even if he isn't healed and in alot of pain?

A roster spot.

IR or no IR, McGahee would be out six to eight weeks. Basically, this is a common sense procedural move that enables the Broncos to not waste a roster spot the next eight weeks.

I'm just messing with you man, just thought it was funny that you put race in your statement.

Thanks for the effort, Willis!

Carol is a machine when it comes to scanning the wire for Bronco news. I love it. Dependable.

Apparently, he's on recallable IR. He can be brought back anytime after January 18, which would mean he could play in the AFC Championship game and the Superbowl if the Broncos were to make it that far.
