In recent years the Broncos running situation has been in a bit of a strange situation. 1st round running back Knowshon Moreno has been impressive when healthy, but has struggled with injuries. Correll Buckhalter provided a veteran member to this squad but succumbed to age last season, dropping from 642 yards and 5.4 YPA to 147 yards. He was cut shortly before camp started. Lance Ball younger player who stepped up last season among the injuries.
Last season we also saw the arrival of two highly tauted backs through trades. Laurence Maroney arrived from New England, had struggled with injuries, but had performed well and was still young. But his time with Denver was limited, he never showed the speed he had in New England, only rushing for 74 yards and 2.1 YPA. LenDale White was another player the Broncos acquired, coming from a very short, I mean like two weeks, stint in Seattle, but is known for his time with the Titans. White, who had been productive early in his career, has struggled in recent years with off and on the field issues, gaining weight, legal problems, and character issues. White played during the Broncos pre-season, but during the September 2 game against Minnesota he got injured and he missed the remainder of theseason.
So going into this season, the Broncos needed some options, Moreno hadn't been able to provide the work horse carries, and with Buck and Maroney gone, that left our starting running backs at Moreno and Ball, so EFX set out to make some moves, and that they did.
Returning Backs:
These are the backs that are returning from the 2010 team.

Background:
Moreno was a 1st round selection by the Bronco before the 2009 season, and had a strong rookie year just shy of 1,000 yards rushing. In 2010 Moreno spent a number of games injured, but came back and finished with a solid performance, improving in both yards per attempt and yards per receptions. Expectations are high for Moreno going into his 3rd season.
Breakdown:
Strengths:
- Very balanced, has solid vision, speed and strength.
- Is a reliable receiver with good hands.
- Mature, a hard worker.
- Good Blocker.
Weaknesses:
- Doesn't really excel at one thing, lacks breakaway speed or strength to move piles.
- Seems to lack the toughness to be a stand alone back.
- Ball protection is an issue, though improving.

Background:
Lance Ball came into the league as an undrafted free agent in 2008 out of Maryland. Since then he has bounced around to a number of practice squads, from St. Louis to Tennessee, but after spending time on the Broncos practice squad, he joined the starters when the 2010 team was hit by injuries. Ball has a lot to prove this season as he hopes to remain a starter for the Broncos.
Breakdown:
Strengths:
- Good agility, can make defenders miss.
- Very sound mechanics, good lean, good body motion, and vision.
- A fighter, won't give up on a play.
Weaknesses:
- Lacks a next gear, no top end speed that can break away.
- Struggles in blocking.
- While tough, doesn't possess the size or muscle to escape defenders or to move a group.
- Because he lacks size or speed, he doesn't excel in the passing game, though he has good hands.

Background:
LenDale White has experience the fall from glory, even during the draft, going from one of the top backs in the draft to a mid 2nd round pick. Going from a premier back to being written off in just two years. Since entering the league While has struggled with a number of issues, ranging from injuries to drug usage to butting heads with coaches. White is looking to create a new legacy in Denver, and to try and forget how he was replaced in Tennessee.
Breakdown:
Strengths:
- Good size and build, is a strong back who can push piles and move bodies, great balance to hit blitzers.
- Nice burst off the ball.
- Good ball protection.
Weaknesses:
- While having good burst, has poor top speed.
- Struggles running pass routes due to stiffness of movements.
- Can be indecisive if a hole doesn't show up immediately.

Background:
Was originally drafted as a linebacker in 2008, but after spending time at ILB, FB and on ST, Larsen saw his job switch to fullback full time. Larsen is known for his versatility in multiple positions but is trying to lock a spot on the roster as the Broncos go through a coaching change. While Larsen lacks pure talent, he is known whereever he is, either in college or the NFL, as his college teammates called him called him " the heart and soul."
Breakdown:
- Hard worker, competitive and outspoken player.
- Is very football smart, studies the game very thoroughly.
- Carries his weight well, can take hits without loosing momentum.
Weaknesses:
- Doesn't possess a lot of athletic talent, lacking great speed, size or strength.
- Struggles to recover from mistakes made, both during the play and afterwards.
- Doesn't have the soft hands to be regularly active in the passing game.
- Sometimes is overly competitive, over pursuing plays, getting on himself too hard, and compounding mistakes.

Background:
Like LenDale White, McGahee has also fallne from the graces of his drafted, and 2nd, team, but McGahee didn't do it through concerning activities, rather just being phased out. McGahee reached a Pro Bowl in 2007 after topping 1,200 yards and 7 touchdowns, but that wasn't even his best season. McGahee has topped 1,000 yards three times in his career, and topped 10 touchdowns twice. Even after losing touches, he was still the primary goal line back in Baltimore, and looks to take back a bigger role in Denver.
Breakdown:
Strengths:
- Strong downhill runner, seems to enjoy contact.
- Has surprising speed for a runner of his style.
- Has great vision to spot holes immediately and make his cut.
Weakenesses:
- Is starting to show wear and tear, lacks burst off the ball he used to have.
- Turns 30 this year, and as a goal line back, he has taken a lot of hits.
- Fumbles have been an on and off issue.
Background:
Johnson joined the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Oregon in 2009 but went on injury reserve in August after injuring his shoulder. Since then he has bounced to the Redskins and Panthers practice squads before joining the Broncos training camp. It will be a tough spot, and an uphill climb for Johnson to fight for if he wants to make the roster, but has experience in a similar offense, and worked with Jonathan Stewart in college.
Background:
Minor is a second year player out of Michigan who went undrafted in 2010. He has spent time on the Bears, Saints, and Colts practice squads before coming into Denver. Minor's college career was marred by injuries, and he is out to show it hasn't affected his game as he fights for his first NFL roster spot. Despite his injury history, Minor is a harder who will do what he can at every opportunity.
Background:
Fannin is a rookie coming out of Auburn. He is a lightning quick back, but has shown a lack of mobility side to side. Sadly his college career started going downhill after fumbling problems became too frequent. A tough runner and a great blocker who saw time at fullback after his time at running back was cut. Fannin has shown sparks at camp, something he hopes will erase the memory of a poor Senior college year.
Breakdown:
Background:
Sylvester is also an undrafted rookie this season from Washington. In college he saw limited action as a starter, mostly spent time on special teams. Sylvester played both running back and full back at Washington, but never was dominant, and likely will be looking for a spot on the Broncos special teams squad for him to make the roster.
Summery:
To me it appears we have improved at the running back position from last season. If Moreno can stay healthy, we should be looking good with McGahee as the other starter. Larsen, White and Ball to me have the best chances to make the team, the rest of the players seem very limited, and will have to really impress to get a roster spot.
Personally, I'd grade Moreno, McGahee, Ball, White and Larsen a B, some good talent and a balanced running group. Add in a surprise from one of the other guys, we should see some major improvement over the 2010 squad.

White played during the Broncos pre-season, but during the September 2 game against Minnesota, he missed the whole season.
Missing an entire season in week 2 is an impressive feat!
who wears short shorts?
bah!
not week 2 – September 2nd. – Looks like me poking fun of your grammer got me in trouble by messing up my own lol
who wears short shorts?
dropping from 642 yards and 5.4 YPA to 147 yards and 147 YPA
I figured that you would talk about the 147 YPA

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
Still worried about the FB position...
….and they seem to make a tremendous difference in the running game.

Word on the street is Sylvester is a stud
People have been raving about this kid and his ability to block and open up holes, I think they may have found a hidden gem in this kid.

……I have missed this position since Howard led the way for Terrell.

I found some old film of him
I’d be shocked if that was true, he was pretty bad in college, but hey, I sure wouldn’t mind being surprised.
I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.
Who?
OK, so Brian and The Johns really did very well at the Defensive Tackle position, especially considering the limited cash budget they likely had to work with. I no longer hear laughter from opposing RBs in my nightmares!!!

What reports I’ve seen indicate that Jeremiah Johnson has a pretty complete package of RB skills… maybe more upside than Fannin.
He was great at Oregon

I have also seen that Johnson looks like a stud and should make the roster.

should've kept Buckhalter..
“147” YPA got damn.
He only had one carry, and kept going the wrong direction
Broncos new pass rush Von Miller + Elvis "DOOM" Dumervil = DRILLERS! Because that is what they will be doing to opposing QBs. Ahhh yeah!
I want to say how awesome a particular Rockies player is and that he will be the MVP, but the last time I mentioned it in my sig he went out with an injury, so, GO PLAYER WHO IS SO AWESOME!
Then wouldn't it be -147 ypa

Any thoughts of White as a FB?
For 2 back sets Fox could get sophisticated.
The glass is usually twice as big as it needs to be.
by BaldMatt on Aug 4, 2011 3:54 PM MDT via mobile reply actions
I don't believe he has ever played FB....
…so although he has the size, I don’t know how realistic it is trying to turn him into a battering ram this late in his career.
"Pain don't hurt" - Swayze (Road House) -- We miss you man!
I am not sure LenDale would take to that
The guy wants the football, I doubt he wants to play FB, but he may have to if McGhee comes in and takes over as the short yardage back.

He wouldn't do that
And isn’t that successful of a blocker.
I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.
I would rank our present RB crew as C+ or B-, on paper.
Hopefully we’re a bit better than that this year. A lot depends on blocking, scheme, etc.
Thanks for the breakdown
If Moreno can stay healthy, we should be looking good with McGahee as the other starter. Larsen, White and Ball to me have the best chances to make the team
I’m going to say White and Larsen probably get the ax at some point. McGahee is a more effective version of LenDale White – same size, style and lack of speed – without the issues. And Mario Fannin is the same bowling ball as each of them, but with a ton of speed once he sees daylight through the middle.
I liked your description of Moreno, thought it was pretty spot on. He’s a jack of all trades, even if he’s not a master of any. Spencer Larsen is also that jack of all trades type guy, but in a bad way, IMO. He’s not good enough and can’t stay healthy enough for us to need him as a full time FB, IMO, and we don’t need him at LB. We have TEs that can do his job and save the roster spot (since we need to keep so many TEs as is).
Just my thoughts!
OK, so Brian and The Johns really did very well at the Defensive Tackle position, especially considering the limited cash budget they likely had to work with. I no longer hear laughter from opposing RBs in my nightmares!!!
I still have hopes for White – I want to believe that he gave himself an attitude adjustment after being let go from Seattle, and his suspension was from activities prior to that date. Ever since then he’s demonstrated a good attitude, commitment, and one unfortunate injury. He’s younger than McGahee, too. Not sure what’s up with his back spasms though.
well
my wife had back spasms… turned out she was pregnant
who wears short shorts?

I think there's something fishy with the back spasms
But DJ has been sitting idle with like a bruised thigh (I think) for about the same amount of time, so I’m not sure.

Scott Hastings actually stopped talking on his show just to watch Sylvester hit the sled.
Scott and his cohort both were impressed with the pure power of this guy. The general sense I’m getting is other teams better be ready to tighten up their jock straps because people are going to be HIT this year! If our O-line gels and we get a running game their are enough pieces in place for our O to be VERY solid.
If a couple of the new DTs work well and Miller draws the kind of opposition game planning attention it is suspected he will our defense may be greatly improved. It’s not out of question for the Broncos to push 8-8 in this scenario, if not threaten to make the playoffs.
The preseason will hold as much interest as the regular season for me in terms of observing the new personnel and watching for the improvements cited above.

Thanks maxwellsdemon
These positional reviews are really helping me know our tem better. Good work all!
It all starts in the trenches - HT 11/11/08
Leave the hateful vitriol to the uninformed - HT 3/16/09
Thanks, that really was the purpose of us doing these
I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.
Laurence Maroney
was so bad last year. Probably the worst running performance I have ever seen in the NFL. I feel good about Knowshon and hope we get Spencer Larsen in at fullback more. Enough singleback formations!
please stop reminding me of Maroney!!!
UUggh…. by far McD’s worst move… and while I am not as down on McD as many are, that is indeed saying something.
Now I need to go wash my brain out with bleach…
Thanks MWD!
Nicely done.
Take my advice... I'm not using it!
"If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague."
Good stuff....Now that the CBA is final.....
we can see if they want to use Fells in the FB role.
I say B right now, with very good upside. MacGahee may be 30, but he has a less yards on him than most 30 yr olds….
No matter who starts at QB, we will be 8-8 or better (8-2-11)
"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
John Adams
Hopefully, we finally get to see what we have in Moreno
If he can stay healthy, I am quite happy with him as the #1. Short yardage has always been the bane of Bronco existence in my memory, hopefully McGahee will make a difference there (I also expect to see Tebow out on some short yardage plays – not so much to run it himself, but to make the defense focus on multiple guys).
LenDale – well, hopefully he’s changed from who he has been in the past. As a whole, I don’t have high expectations – he showed up to the NFL combine out of shape before his rookie year, he complained that he wasn’t getting more carries in TN when CJ was running wild on every D that they went up against, he was so out of shape again in Seattle last year that his college coach cut him and got injured as soon as he got here. He did some damage as a runner, and was dangerous both with USC and in TN as the thunder to Reggie or CJ’s lightning… but he doesn’t strike me as a hard worker, given how many times he has been noticeably out of shape. Hopefully he has turned that around… but I’ll have to see it before I get excited about having him on the team.
The lead has broken way to many times for me to give this unit any higher a grade than C.
If they can keep the pencil sharp and lay up some solid numbers when it counts, i.e. 3rd down conversions, goal line and ypg then I’ll give them the grade they deserve.
I would've gone C+ for the same reasons.
Expecting White and/or McGahee to help where there was little last year. Optimistically, I chose “B” – hope they grade out that way (or better)!
I voted D, which is below NFL average but not poor.
Moreno has not done enough to justify his 12th round pick – although I hope he can still be a productive back. I’m surprised he is graded here as a strong blocker. Profootballfocus graded his blocking skills as one of the worst in the league for RB’s last season.
McGahee was a solid signing but his age makes me very think that he’ll be nothing other than unspectacular.
The rest are all pretty blah. Obviously Fannin’s camp work gives cause for cautious optimism.
Larsen should have been kept at LB. I thought he did all right there when he played briefly back in 2008. He’s not a natural FB and I’m now rooting for Sylvester to play him off the roster, which is a shame as Larsen has the passion for fooball. I suspect his chance to fight for his LB slot has long gone now.
So for me the roster cuts should leave us with Moreno, McGahee, White, Fannin & Sylvester. Which will do for now I suppose.
What would Blackie Lawless do?
Looking at the votes...
242 votes are sane (rating the RB situation as a “c”) as the Broncos RB stable is at best average. 222 Broncos fans voted with their hearts, hoping the season will bring us a RB situation that is above average. None of the Broncos RB have shown above average play yet. 12 votes are smoking some good stuff (rating the RB situation an “a”). Pass that stuff around so we can all be that detached from reality heh. To be an “a” we would have to posses at least one and probably 2 running backs other teams would value enough to part with draft picks. At this point, we would be lucky to get a 4-5th rounder for Moreno. 30 votes are realistic but a little on the gloomy side giving the RB situation a D or below average.
