JJ Arrington anyone?

Broncos | Arrington moving on
Tue, 03 Mar 2009 09:45:45 -0800 Mike Klis and Lindsay H. Jones, of The Denver Post, report the Denver Broncos' deal for free-agent RB J.J. Arrington (Cardinals) has all but fallen apart. Arrington had a four-year, $10 million deal in place with the Broncos, but the deal fell apart. He has been drawing interest from other teams, including the Arizona Cardinals.

Haley knows as well as anyone what this kid could bring to the table. I think he could be a good 3rd down/situational back. Not to mention he's a pretty good return man.


Wonder if we'll have him in for a look?

So we get Bettis out of retirement, and then get Jamal Lewis... It'll work. :-)

Charles should definitely move ahead of Smith on the depth chart and should have been ahead of him last year.

Savage would be the Third RB.
Why would he have to be an every-down back?
Charles is your back up (he's not an every-down back either though).

So if that's the point you're trying to make I understand.

No mention of LJ?

Yeah, that's why he won a Super Bowl with Bettis and Willie Parker (Thunder and Lightening).

Uh, this was before he won the Super Bowl. It was the year they had Bettis and Staley.

Its just an opinion.

I know. The irony is that he said that, then won the SB with the opposite.

Yeah... It just goes to show you that chemistry has a lot to do with it.

Edited to add: And you have to admit that Cowher had a hard-on for bruiser backs.

THE BEST ONE I'VE FOUND would be the point to concentrate on.

Everything about that SB win under Cowher would be contrary to his philosophies...
