They need to run C.J. inside and Hillman outside. Running Hillman inside continuously was the problem against NE.

He looked like a complete NFL back yesterday. Ran inside, got the edge a few times, caught the ball. Maybe this is a bit of a Mr. Wolf overreaction thread but he had me excited. Kid looked solid. If I'm calling the shots, I start Anderson and let Hillman spell him after CJ's softened them up a bit.
All I know is it looked like a classic choke job for a quarter and a half before C.J.'s electrifying catch and run. Then, Roby made the pick and the Broncos became the Broncos again just like in those Snickers commercials. I hope C.J. got the game ball afterwards.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
Man we are so stacked at RB.......sarcasm lol.
CJ was awesome yesterday though, i love me some CJ
Our RB cast of characters keeps changing. Ball should be back next week, but now it looks like Hillman will be out for a couple of weeks:
The rest: http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/...-sprain/30811/The Broncos will be without Ronnie Hillman for at least two weeks after the starting running back suffered a midfoot sprain in his right foot Sunday, according to an NFL source.
Hillman seemed to suffer the injury as he was attempting to catch a pass early in the Broncos’ 41-17 win against the Oakland Raiders. He limped off the field and had his right ankle taped then returned to the game.
That had to be the single longest RB play from scrimmage in YEARS. For that alone, he deserves more time as the featured back.
With Hillman out, I'd probably split carries between Anderson and Ball, but keep Ball on a short leash.
