Andres run was a great run but its hard to argue with the denver system, proof is in the puddin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Bull Posted November 22, 2007 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 5,900 Reputation: 628 Days Won: 5 Joined: 09/02/2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yeah, I would have to say that anyone can run in Denver, but, if Andre can show that he can produce as well, or better than Selvin Young, he could be set for a few years. Hopefully Henry will be suspended, and Hall will beat out Young for the starting spot. He has a chance to showcase himself, he needs to take advantage. My brother-in-law is a Bronco fan, talked about Andre today at Thanksgiving dinner, he was laughing like "oh yeah, our 15th string running back". I hate people that don't respect USF. He is a FSU fan too, I really hope we get to play them at the MCCB (if we're not playing better comp at the Sun). The saving grace though is that he is a basketball coach, and went to the USF/FSU game in Daytona last week Shanahan seems to love Andre. He was the reason that Mike Bell was displaced to full back in the pre season. Andre was on pace to be Henry's back up until he had a pulled hammy (I think, maybe groin though), and missed a lot of time. That is the only reason slow-a** Selvin Young got to play and made the team. I hope he runs for 150+ against the bears and has a couple of TD's and some catches to boot. Andre is an all-around running back, he will do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be cheering for the Bears but won't mind if Andre goes for 100 or so yards. I can't bring myself to start him on my fantasy team though.

I am missing the Pitt game and this will get me my USF dosage. I also have a friend who is a Denver fan, he never accepts the fact that Andre is good just because he played at USF, and i just hope he piles up some yardage along with a few TD's in a win.
