They said awhile back that they would not be resigning wells.[[Gary Kubiak]] said:Seems like Wells is not comming back. Kubes must not have been impressed with Wells or he is demanding to much $$$.
Great point and idea I guess we'll see what the Kube crew have in mind for him as we go on the road to kickoff day.aj. said:If he wants to play fullback he needs to get on a weight program first. He's smaller (lighter) than all of our RBs. At 6' 0" I assume he has the frame to add a few lbs. Practice squad might be a good place to start for Rhodes, unless the Antowain Smith thing falls through and he surprises and makes it as #4 RB.
TexanFan881 said:Wali Lundy is probably disappointed about this. He's going to have a tough time making the team because I don't see us carrying 4 RBs. It sounds like he'll be on the practice squad or he will be #3 RB if Smith doesn't pan out like the Texans hoped and cut him.

Any truth to this rumor??

Ibar_Harry said:That might be true and it might no be. Kubiak said he chose him because he played in the zone blocking scheme and knows it very well. He scored 50 TD's in college in that scheme. He might be better suited than Morancey. Remember, not all backs fit Kubiak's scheme.

TexanFan881 said:Good point and I almost forgot about hearing how Lundy would be a great fit for our system. I don't see Lundy being ahead of Smith and Morency though.
Good point too. But I think there is a chance that they will only carry 3 RBs considering they have an H-back in Daniels and then three good TE's in Bruener, Putzier, and Joppru. Then at FB we have Cook and Hill and I believe someone will be squized out of the roster. That will probably be Hill or Lundy, and if we didn't sign Smith than Lundy would easily be our #3 RB and probably wouldn't have any worries on making the roster. I'm not saying that I think Lundy will miss the team, but if we only carry 3 RBs Lundy could be the odd man out. I like Lundy a lot after watching his highlights after last year and I think he can be big for us I just think this signing will make things more complicated for him.
aj. said:Denver carried 4 RBs and 1 FB last year.
DD, Morency, Smith, Lundy - Cook
Bobo said:I think Davis, Morency, Smith and the rookie (in that order) are just fine for a 2-14 team trying to bounce back. That is a pretty good rushing tandem. Smith has been on five teams (including the Texans when he signs) and he'll be a good third-string guy who could serve in the same manner that Jonathan Wells did. However, I still think they should have kept Wells. He did very well when he had to fill in for Davis last year. Smith has had some decent games when he filled in at NO as well, but sheesh! What do you gain with Smith? Not much -- in fact you may have lost a little since it is a common fact that Smith is tentative hitting the hole. But he's a third stringer so he isn't a disaster and should be OK in that role. Still, I wonder why Kubiak would dump Wells for the sake of Smith. Seems to me he's making changes just for the heck of it -- and that isn't necessarily a wise thing to do.
