OT - CJ Anderson out few weeks maybe more

[long distance]

Will be interesting to see how it affects their offense. He's one of the 3 core playmakers the whole O stands on.
Booker was good in rotation last week but carrying the game is another matter.

 

[BradyFTW!]

From what I've seen, I think Booker might be better than Anderson anyway. It'll hurt them in that they won't be able to rotate two good RBs to keep them fresh over the course of the game, but I wouldn't expect it to harm them all that much to be honest.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Their running game will get worse once they start lining Derby up anyways.

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

So how many games will they lose now?

Nothing personal against Anderson....I just want the #1 seed and a reasonably healthy roster for the AFC title match

 

[leehanu]

That's a big loss for them. He is good in pass-protection(blitz pick-up etc.). Not sure how good Booker is in pass-protection.

 

[sambam94]

Booker looked like the better runner last game...don't know about blitz pick up though

 

[Deus Irae]

Huge loss for the Broncos, with a moderately tough stretch in the schedule.

Chargers
@Raiders
@Saints
Bye
Chiefs

CJ Anderson is so hard to tackle.

 

[Aßßynormal]

I thought we got too much for Derby, this injury may have caused Denver to overpay. I know think Denver called us.

 

[Kontradiction]

Booker is still a halfway decent back, but Denver is ultimately a run-first football team that will regularly have over 20 rushing attempts per game so his loss will hurt as they won't have a relatively fresh rotation until he gets back.

 

[Jimke]

The Patriots will trade them Blount and a fifth round pick for a f0urth round pick.

wow...we've been damn lucky w/ injuries so far...

not only our people being good, but oponnents key people being out for our games

If it keeps up it will almost make up for the last decade when the shoe's been on the Pats foot.

Denver is one of the healthiest teams so far (only 2 IRed), but they always look to be a few injuries away from getting out of contention (good starters / thin dept)

 

[PatRiot]

who is the 3rd back in Denver ?

That game @Saints will be especially fascinating to watch. One of the most opportunistic defenses ever against a high octane offense that has yet to slow down run by Brees. A game at the Superdome is not a gimme.

With a few unlucky bounces they can go 0-4 during this stretch. More realistically I wouldn't be surprised about 2-2.

I still don't trust any of those teams. We will see. Chargers have a shot here to sweep the series but i doubt they will do it

Booker looks far more explosive where Anderson is a battering ram. Together, they appear to have the making of a very nice 1-2 punch.

 

[long distance]

Sorry for CJ.

Tough break for the luckiest team (re. key injuries) in the last seasons.

And they've got their Iron Man, Aquib Talib
