   I feel they will alternate RB's often playing in Mile High. That being said I still wonder with Ben probably in a hurryup how many touches Willie will get and what production.

 My Guess....  14 carries..75 yds   1 pass  18 yds   1 TD

Mendenhall  18 carries  91 yds  1 td

FWP  6 carries  21 yds  0 td

Or there abouts.

BTW  Big Ben  26-37  276 yds  1 td

Considering the fact that Denver has such a hard time stopping the run I would be shocked and amazed if we didn't put up a huge chunk of yardage using both FWP and RM.

You do realize that Wee Willie Parker has only rushed for 187 yds on 60 carries, 0 TD's and has 5 catches for 53 yds and 1 TD so far this season?  Oh yeah, and he has 2 fumbles.  I would be surprised to see Parker get 10 total touches and maybe 40 yds.  More realistically, Mendenhall and Moore will rack up 175 yds and 3 TD's on the ground.

I think Mendenhall might touch the 200 yard mark against Denver if he can get 25+ carries.  When I remember seeing Cedric Benson on certain plays slicing through them for easy 5-6 yard chunks, I see Mendenhall having multiple double-digit gains.  Though the Broncos have a top-5 run defense according to the stats, in my opinion that is largely smoke and mirrors, just like their record is.

I hope you are right but since Denver is #3 against the run I don't think you are.

Mende should have a big game.  Willie will not have more than 8 touches.

Willie - 3 carries for 19 yards   1 catch for 12

If Willie gets 6.33 yards per carry that's really going to ruin playwitpoise's latest argument for gettting Redman on the roster.  He'll have to go back to the drawing board.

Wow you're right!



I thought that they were near the bottom of the league at stopping the run for some reason.

It must have been a senior moment :)
