Denver can seem to run the ball effectly no matter who is the RB. They say that any RB can run well in that system but I think that their system is better suited for a speed guy. Their great blocking is their key to success so therefore they don't need a power runner if the runner already has holes open for him to run through and thats why they need a speed guy to hit the holes fast and dart to the endzone. anybody agree or disagree?

Who Replied?Shannahan will go down as the greatest Running back guru of our generation (probably even ever)!
Mike Anderson, Reuben Droughns = Fullbacks
Terrell Davis, Olandis Gary= Not exactly blazing speed
Quentin Griffin= Speedster
Clinton Portis= Ideal Bronco RB
Of the six mentioned, four of those RB's have rushed for 1000+ yds/season starting for the Broncos. Only three of those RB's have rushed for 1500+yds/season (Anderson,Portis,Davis), and only one (Davis) broke the 2,000 yard barrier.
Credit to Shanahan and Gibbs, who now is the O-Line coach for the Falcons who have the 2nd ranked rushing offense.
