Ummmm, can you guess why Hillman was demoted?

He played through it, which suggests that it's nothing major. He was never a speed demon anyway.

I disagree, he looked visibly injured when he was stupidly "playing through it". I wouldn't be surprised if he's shelved for weeks.

Ummmm...okay.

Did you watch the game? Did you see him run when they sent him back out there after getting hurt in OT? Looked like he was hopping along on one leg

Ummm I would go CJ Anderson... They put him in that game after Ball did what Ball does and Anderson looked solid with the carries he got may want to watch for him.

CJ Anderson flubbed a handoff which was why Moreno went back in the game in OT in obvious pain.

 

I picked up Ball and dropped Miles Austin. Denver would be foolish to rush Moreno back in, and Ball is the next best back IMO.

Ball's fumble was the turning point in that game last night. And I don't think he saw the field again after that. If you guys think that he is going to step in and contribute, you're nuts. He's been pretty awful and will take a significant amount of time to develop...if he can even get past these issues he's facing now.

You Moreno owners weren't counting on him to make it through the entire season were you?

There was little chance Moreno could make it the whole way. That is why they wanted to install a committee from the start but every running back they attempted to put in couldn't blitz pickup or couldn't hold onto the ball.

 

You just have to remember back to last year and how Fox brought out Moreno when everyone though it was going to be Hillman. Fox likes experienced guys and Ball hasn't proven anything. CJ Anderson isn't the answer. It will be important to hear practice reports but if Hillman is getting reps he was the 1A they wanted this season. Fresh legs out of nowhere! Just like every year.

It's not a real good matchup on the road at KC anyway, so I'd just as soon he take a week of rest and come back fresh.

I don't count on any player to play every game. Also, Moreno hasn't missed a game all year, yet.. Moreno hobbling is better than Ball, Hillman, and CJ Anderson combined.

Bone bruise is a pain tolerance thing. The "significant" word means very little in this situation. He's a pretty tough cat playing a division rival after a loss. I'd bet he plays n gets his normal workload. They will rest him all week though.

Rotoworld reporting that it's a significant bone bruise. True he's Week to Week but I would think he'd be either on a limited snap count or out entirely.

Bruise never sounds too bad to me. 6 days of rest, have your mommy kiss the boo boo and it should be all better.

Don't be so sure Ball will be the man to replace Moreno. Coach don't like fumbles.

He's not gonna miss a division game that could very well decide that division.

He will likely take a pain shot that day. Be weary of him getting yanked late in the game when it wears off. That's bout it

Am I crazy for wanting to put in Ellington or Sproles instead of Moreno?

 

I could see Sproles used a lot against a tough Seattle defense. Ellington, he's due for a breakout game again no? Long run?

Hard to believe he wouldn't be in there if needed if it is just a bruise and it wouldn't jeopordize his playoffs. What a stud he has been this season, awesome against the Pats.

Yes, you're crazy.

I finally tapped out on Ellington this year. Arians' bizarre insistance on getting 15 touches for the incredibly mediocre Mendenhall every week is more than I can stomach.

 

I don't see how you bench a workhorse like Moreno for a Sproles or an Ellington where you're just gambling on one big play. The odds are against you.
