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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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...

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.
