"We think competition is the best thing for a guy to get the best out of people," Shanahan said. "You have to compete in practice, you got to compete on game day and you have a chance to get better."

But the competition is a congenial one -- something that practice-squad running back Andre Hall discovered when he joined the Broncos last week after a series of seven tryouts and summer stints with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears.

It's plausible to believe Hall could someday provide competition at the position; Nash was in the same practice-squad slot just two weeks ago. But his fellow runners didn't look askance at the newcomer in their midst. They sought merely to help.

So it was no surprise when Mike Bell sat next to Andre Hall, helping the newest Bronco absorb the voluminous playbook.

"Not just Mike Bell: Cecil (Sapp), Kyle (Johnson), (Damien) Nash, everybody," Hall said. "All the guys help you. I've gotten so much help (that) I've got the playbook down.

"Mike always offers to come by and help out if I need anything; he gave me his number and said, 'If you ever need to go over anything, just give me a call.'"

Competitive tension might exist, but the Broncos' backfield competition isn't amongst running backs. It's amongst friends, too. With the No. 3 running game in the league, it also appears to be working.

"We're one of the top five rushing football teams in the National Football League," Shanahan said, "so we feel very good about our rushing offense."

Awesome! Hopefully Hall can step up and make some games sometime.  Glad to see he's finally gotten a good oportunity.

From what I heard he had trouble learning the play book in his other opportunities. So if he really has learned the play book that bodes well for him. I def believe he has the talent!

GO Andre & GO BULLS!!!!!!!
