Mike Bell

[Shanahanaramjam]

Guys, I was out there yesterday, and i kid you not...this kid mike bell will be a star in the near future. He was crisp and explosive. Watch out league, we have our next TD!

[Snapping Turtle]

Thats good news to hear.... :D

[topscribe]

Well, I certainly hope so.

I never saw that in him in college, but he wouldn't be the first to surprise in the pros.

Mike Bell will get a lot of chances to win the starting job. He is probably the best back when it comes to pass protection something that got TD his chance. Bell will probably be put out their in passing situations a lot, and if he performs then he will be put as the passing down back during the regular season. when he performs there he will get more touches and when he performs there he will get more and more until he stops performing to the level shanny wants. He will have to perform on special teams as well during the preseason. TD was once the team special teams player of the preseason.

[champbronc2]

Mike will have incredible work ethic because he loves the Broncos. That's why he has such a huge up to him. I hope he stays around. :beer:

Initial reports coming out of camp today are that he's been performing even better than yesterday.

[silkamilkamonic]

He might be crisp and explosive, and having a great camp and all that good stuff, but he' still behind TBell, Dayne, Sapp, and even Cobbs.

If what you say is true, Mike Bell could be a very good practice squad player for Denver this year.

It's early days but from what is being reported Cobbs has been disappointing so far at camp. Seems to be losing his balance very easily and is struggling both on the inside and outside.

Really.

I have to quit paying attention to media bias. Some were hyping this kid to come in and win the starting position.

Not that he couldn't by any means, but I thought it was a little strange, considering he couldn't even stay with an injury depleted Patriot backfield last year.

[pipes]

That is truly good news....

I watched my tape of Denver winning their first SB and seeing TD run all over the Packers, it got me thinking something...

All of the credit for the success of Denver's running game is given to Shanny's system, the o-line and fb, wr's blocking, and to the back himself....

None of the credit seems to go to the position coach himself. Bobby Turner needs to get more love-as far as I'm concerned. :salute:

I think that with all of the factors that I stated above-and with Mr. Turner's coaching...any of our backs can prove to be special. I guess at this point, I would prefer our MAIN back to have Bell stitched on his shoulder blades...either Bell.

I was the same as you. From the way he was being built up I was expecting to hear some good things about him coming out of camp. Could change though.

For Bell enthusiasts there's some brief footage of him here (http://cbs4denver.com/sports/local_story_211124956.html) as well as a short interview.

What I've been hearing about Mike Bell is that he's better then Sapp, Cobbs, Dayne, and Tatum... He's bringing in the most media coverage of all the RBs right now.

It seems to me that he'll make the final roster as the #3 back, and eventually work his way into getting more and more carries as the season rolls on.

I guess this kid is something special, at least that's what I've been hearing. I can only pray that he doesn't have injury issues or screws up somehow... I REALLY want that franchise back

why sapp? they have him at fullback and from what i heard, was that he had the edge on kyle johnson early...

[ReleaseTheBeast7]

Well, the guy I quoted said that he's behind Sapp on the depth chart. I know that he's a FB, but he can also play HB.

We'll have to see

yeah ive always wondered about this. They never list him at fullback and aside from a handful exceptions, I've never seen him line up at tailback.

Cecil Sapp=Reuben Droughns? :confused:

[armedequation]

could be, I know he's a very hard runner and worker. I've been happy to see that he's had a role with the bronco's since coming to the team

[SuperD77]

Not only Mike Bell, but my friends who have gone and seen them practice have been hyping up Jay, and Brandon as well. They said Jays arm is ridiculously awsome. Brandon they said looks to be like a top notch wide reciver. I think we did acceptionally well this draft, but only time will tell :). If these dudes do end up being worth the hype everyone is talking about, Id say Denver has a real bright future for the next few years.

Don't forget Javon and Watts...I've only heard great things about them.

[Bronx84]

Yeah he could be a surprise. I hope he is.

[Dream]

This goes along with what Kaylore and SoCal have been saying about Mike Bell over on Orange Mane. Mike Bell was a back who I thought the Broncos would consider in the fourth round, but he did fall. I thought he had first day talent. I was extremely excited to hear we picked him up after the draft along with Vaughn, Clark, etc. Even though Mike Bell wasn't drafted, he was my third favorite "selection" (if you will) behind Brandon Marshall and Greg Eslinger. Who knows, maybe we'll have a Bell-to-Bell connection going this year. :D

Saved by the. . . Bells? :huh:

[armedequation]

Saved by the. . . Bells?

i would prefer hells bells :D

[tnedator]

It's early days but from what is being reported Cobbs has been disappointing so far at camp. Seems to be losing his balance very easily and is struggling both on the inside and outside.

And by some accounts battling some type of injury, yet again. The injury bug has been a recurring problem with him since college.

[NILAFIED]

Now as for Mike Bell, I have a friend that is a Big Airzona fan and he went to all the games last year and what he told me on Bell is that some games he is unstopable and others well he gets lazy and takes off ( like the entire game ) could be why he was not drafted. Just be carefull and don't be fooled!

I am a big UA fan, and I watch them play.

Mike Bell was playing through injuries much of his career . . . . when he could play.

Sorry, but I never noticed that laziness from him. :coffee:

[Heisman 99']

are definetly the future of this team. In about 3yrs or so they will be the new Tandem. I cant wait till preseason to see these guys lite it up. Anybody see us playing the 3rd stringers and dominating some other teams starters like we did last year with the Cards. :coffee:

I'll take the Cutler, Walker, and other(RB) approach, with Watts making a case for strong second!

TD had queit college career and look how he turned out.

[GIVEME6]

Mike Bell's success shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who read his draft profile. The kid excels in everything needed to be a star in our system. I love seeing a hungry rookie come in and make our vets look bad. Maybe Mike will light a fire under Tatum's @ss and get him going. If not, we'll see MIKE BELL taking his reps.

[The Hamburgler]

Guys, I was out there yesterday, and i kid you not...this kid mike bell will be a star in the near future. He was crisp and explosive. Watch out league, we have our next TD!

Glad I am not the only one that believes this way. GO MIKE BELL :D

[DAYNETRAYNE]

i cant wait to see this guy Mbell in preseason. If he performs like this in the pre-games, i think he'll be movin up the DC, and thats when the BELL/BELL wars are gonna begin. Tatum better look out. :fight:

[cswil]

or Dayne better look out!

[DAYNETRAYNE]

or Dayne better look out!
:laugh: Well, i think At this point MBell would be more suited in a TBELL role. I dont think MBell has the durabilty for 16t games.

[tnedator]

:laugh: Well, i think At this point MBell would be more suited in a TBELL role. I dont think MBell is gonna wear any defense down, for 16t games.

Considering M. Bell doesn't having blazing speed, I don't see how he would fit into Bell's role (assuming you mean as a change of pace back).

[cswil]

:laugh: Well, i think At this point MBell would be more suited in a TBELL role. I dont think MBell is gonna wear any defense down, for 16t games.

With all due respect, I dont think that Ron Dayne has actually worn down many defenses in his career either.

[DAYNETRAYNE]

my bad NED, thats exaclty what i mean. But u dont need blazing speed either. its good to have, but the burst and explosiveness is what the caoches are looking for. How fast do u get out of your break, and hit the hole. And i think Dayne and MBell have that as there strengths. They have very quick feet and a first step.

[DAYNETRAYNE]

With all due respect, I dont think that Ron Dayne has actually worn down many defenses in his career either.

in his 3 times as the featured back in NY. His numbers were like this. 58 carries 337yds, 3tds,with a 5.3 avg. And in College all he did was wear down defenses. I think he's worn down plenty of Defenses in his Career. Maybe not NFL, but he wasnt the featured back but for only 3 games, and his numbers are very impressive. It NY 's fault, not Dayne's. They'll be the biggest ones scratching there heads this year. :confused:

Actually, I have heard the opposite about Dayne. One of the reasons he didn't play in other parts of his career was because he was lazy to the hole, or would pause before going to one. Anyways, I don't see them taking well over 5 yards per carry off of the field even if it is only 10-15 carries a game. Tatum will be 1 of the starting 2 and get a lot of play time almost gauranteed, unless we get a new premier back or he is injured.

[Inkana7]

I dont know where you got your stats, but 337 yards divided by 53 carries is 6.35 YPC.

That's NY GIANT football for u. It's all about the scheme. Ny doesnt run anytype of zone-blocking offense. Dayne is a zone runner. dancing in the backfeild, counters, or make a hole yourself is what the G-MEn offense is all about.

[DAYNETRAYNE]

I dont know where you got your stats, but 337 yards divided by 53 carries is 6.35 YPC.

i ment to put 58 carries.

with this part of ur statement. Because we really wont know for sure until gametime where each back stands. Tatum's carries may increase or decrease depending on if Dayne proves he can carry 25-30 times again. We will just have to wait and see.

May the best man win :salute:

I'm wondering what your basis is for this statement.

You think Mike Bell is too small to wear down a defense? Our rushing offense was at its finest with Terrell Davis wearing defenses down, and he routinely played at 205 lbs. Mike Bell is listed at 215 lbs.

If Dayne doesn't improve over what he's apparently shown so far in camp, he'd better start worrying about his job just as much as Tatum. It's a mistake to assume that Dayne is somehow immune from anyone challenging for his job.

I am not sure what stats you are quoting.

2000 228 carries/770 yards/3.4 ypc
2001 180/690/3.8
2002 125/428/3.4

2005 Denver 53/270/5.1/Long 55 (take out the 55 yard run and ypc is 4.1).

He had his chance in NY. Lost it to Tiki Barber.
I hope Dayne resurects the Wisconsin days. I really do, as a Broncos fan, but you must be logical.

i'm not saying that Dayne cant have his job taken away from him. but if were going with the rbbc approah as its been stated over and over, i think he has to be in there in the mix. TD had everything, i dont see that in none of the backs yet. I'm not saying MBell is too small either , he has great size. But from his college career, i undesatnd he split time there his entire 4yrs, so which goes to show me he most likley can not carry the ball 25-30 times for 16t games.

Plus Back when TD played they werent guys as big as they are now. TD wouldnt be able to play at 205lbs in todays game. 10 yrs ago definetly. :salute:

are the stats i explained to u. When Dayne was the FEATURED BACK for 3 games b/c Barber was out due to injury his stats were 58car. 337yds, 3tds w/ a 5.3avg. Those numbers Your showing me his spot Duty numbers. 2carries every 4-5 series. Exept for his rookie year, he split carries with tiki 50/50. And that was his best season. After that, Dummy Fassel, made him goaline and shortyardage back. That's not how u play this guy. :duh:

Lots of college backs split the carries. Lendale White and Reggie Bush. Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams. Those are just example from the past two years where guys split carries and yet are expected to be feature backs in the NFL (except maybe Bush due to his versatility).

Anyway, there is no guarantee that we'll run a RBBC. That's only the plan if nobody steps up and proves to be a feature back. But if we do run it, I expect Tatum Bell to still be the change of pace back and Mike Bell to compete more with Dayne for that position. Tatum is all about speed, with little in the way of moves or even the best ability to cutback through the hole. Tatum would be more of the complementary back with either Dayne or Mike Bell, IMO.

[cswil]

that begs the question.....Why could Ron Dayne (the Heisman winning diesel from Wisconsin) not establish himself as the dominant player in NY? Hell, Tiki fumbled 30 times a year and Ron still could not win the job. Blame Fassell or whoever, but I think Ron should shoulder some of that load.

[GIVEME6]

:laugh: Well, i think At this point MBell would be more suited in a TBELL role. I dont think MBell is gonna wear any defense down, for 16t games.

You don't think a 6'0 220 RB can wear down a defense? :confused:

Dayne was DEFINITELY misused in NY. In college, I was absolutely amazed by how he moved for a "big back". I think he will shine here, but I don't see him putting up huge numbers. Maybe somwhere along the lines of the 1240yds Droughns put up. I'm rooting for Mike Bell, because he is getting to live his dream and it doesn't get much better than that. If he takes carries away from T-Bell, I'll be VERY happy. He, IMO, is the lazy one.

only split carries his rookie season. After that year he only avg. about 5-6 car a game. Thats no way in hell helping shoulder the load. He was striclty goaline- shortyardage back. You have to blame thatwhole organziztion for even drafting him when they had tiki. He's not gonna run people over 1 carry every 5 series. Dayne is the type of back that needs his carries. they didnt give him the chance to be the featured back unless they had to, and i showed u what he did when he's the featured back. It's not rocket science. I followed him the entire time he was NY, trust me, it was Fassel. Once Tiki blossomed Dayne should have been out of there, and he tried for a trade, and Fassel deactivated him for the 2003 season, for wanting to get out.

shanny knows what to do with this guy to showcase his talent, and thats what he's here for. u gotta little taste last year. Hopefullty you'll get the rest this season.

[DAYNETRAYNE]

You don't think a 6'0 220 RB can wear down a defense? :confused:

of cousre i do, he has great size. i ment to say, is he durable enough though? I dont think right now, but once he gets accustomed to the speed and feel of this league. I think he'll be a monster.

[Fan in exile]

If you guys get a chance check out the 2006 Pro-football Perspectus. They have a nice article in there about what type of back wears out a defense. It's in the Pitsburg section and so they compare smaller backs like Parker and Big backs like Bettis, and what the numbers show is that smaller backs who get a lot of carries wear out defense whereas bigger backs tend to get worn down.

[DAYNETRAYNE]

Lots of college backs split the carries. Lendale White and Reggie Bush. Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams. Those are just example from the past two years where guys split carries and yet are expected to be feature backs in the NFL (except maybe Bush due to his versatility).

you maybe right. i agree. But u dont see many trio of backs in NCaa, and thats what i've heard of MBELL. That he was part of a trio of backs, but that could because he had some nagging injuries. It is said that he had a problem staying healthy.

i think were gonna use the RBBC approach no matter what. It's been working, and it keeps the guys fresh, and defenses off balance. More and More Nfl teams are using it. Like a 1-2 punch. MA carried the ball over 20times a game last year, he showed he could do it, and we still went with the rbbc. I think nowadays guys are just to talented to be on the bench, and u wanna have that feeling that u can put anyone back there to get the job done. And if we dont run it, i believe the releif back should be able to do whatever the featured back is capable of doing. but i think it just to hard to keep Tbell on the bench with that breakawa ability. He would have to really stink it up.

i dont know how u can say he wont put up huge numbers, when's he's done it before. I see him putting up way more numbers than Droughns did. Droughns was srtictly a fullback running Tailback. I think dayne was way more intagibles than Droughn does. Just my opinon.

Droughns had AWAYS been a Tailback, but was forced to play Fullback, just like Mike Anderson did. .................. I like Dayne too, but I'm not so sure you are not mostly a Ron Dayne fan instead of a Bronco fan. I want the best back to play and start. Mike Bell, Tatum Bell, Dayne, I don't care, just no more Running by committee.

i guess i'm wrong. i thought Droughns was always a fullback, then once his stellar performance year was over, he turned into a tailback. When i did see him i thought he ran more like a fullback than a tailback.
Its' not mostly that i'm a dayne fan, i do want the best man to win ,and if Dayne cant cut it, someone else will. My thing is, he's in an offense that won him the Heisman, and i beleive he can duplicate his performance. Why not beleive he can do it? :coffee:

Btw, i like the RBBC, i'm all for it. Backs have longer careers that way.

Yeah, Dayne sure eats up the clock. Can he even carry the full load? He's only ran the ball over 20 times six times in his career, and did so very unsuccessfully.

that is. NY didnt know how to use him. Mike shanahan and Bobby Turner know what they are doing. They probably look at that stat and go :duh: thats not how you use him. They look at what he did and college and go "O thats what we do here". Problem solved. I know he still holds the NCAA rushing recorg till this present day, and he might still on the Att. record as well. i have to check. :coffee:

For a thread about Mike Bell, this sure has a lot of Dayne comments. :D

I went to see the morning practive today. I thought Dayne and TBell had some good runs, but Mike Bell generated the most excitement among the fans. He sure seemed to have a quick burst and a quick change of direction. A very slashing type of runner. Very quick to the hole and picked up some extra yards. It'll be interesting to see him in the preseason.
