Since Denver always plays at 4 PM EDT, I watch them almost all the time. I own Anderson in one league as a backup, and he is the back of choice without a doubt. This isn't a 50/50 RBBC like people like to think.
Take last week for instance, Anderson was absolutely punishing the Eagles D. Every run, he was pounding the line, eating up yards and wearing down the defense. THEN, Tatum Bell comes into the game. Whichever Eagles DB it was, took an absolutely ridiculous angle at him when he came around the corner and Bell busted it. TD #1. Then on the final drive, Mike Anderson ran for about 3 first downs, chewed up the clock, was replaced after about 10 straight running plays and Tatum Bell comes in. He gets one first down, then the Broncos not needing to kick a FG run it on 4th and 3 from about the 6 or 7, Bell scores. TD #2. Hence, Anderson is the man that they're gonna use early and often. People think, OH MY, Tatum Bell is such a change of pace back that defenses aren't ready for his speed after getting used to anderson. HAHAHAHA, what a joke!!!!!!!! Anderson wears em down, it's just like a stud RB, they get better in the 4th quarter because they tire the defense out. If you can control the clock and the game like you can w/ Anderson, the defense is on the field too long.
SO PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will everyone stop thinking and saying that Tatum Bell is just as valuable as Anderson.
