Dayne a Texan

Thanks for the welcome.

7) If it truly is turf toe, it may be an ongoing problem, but it sounded like it was more of a bad sprain (like it got stepped on after a tackle or something like that). I think the fact that he barely played just made him the odd man out this preseason. The other guys - to their credit - stepped up when they got their chance. Shanahan may be regretting it later though.

As for 2), that's pretty much what happened to Dayne. There are only a few backs that would have been great no matter where they played (Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, etc.), but I think success is often the result of being in the right place at the right time and in a system that works for a player's particular talents. Tike blew up at the worst time for Dayne, but that is to Tiki's credit.

Dayne may or may not ever be a great NFL back, but I'd like to see him get a legitmate shot. The NY fans were ruthless (no kidding, eh), and a lot of what was written or said about him in the past was just not accurate.

I'm glad to see former Badger Owen Daniels is doing well too. He is just a good athlete with great hands. He's an excellent route runner and was always a good blocker in college too.

Sconnieguy, to add to ur #2 satement. Denver really didnt give him a fair shot either. he never had no more than 13 carries with them. But he was effective every time he touched the ball with them last year. He goes into camp this year, gets demoted 9 days into camp, b/c an UDFA looks good in PRACTICE. WOW, PRACTICE. Dont get me wrong practice does make perfect, but c'mon, they werent even going full contact tackling. And what happens when the rookie gets in his 1st game. BOOOM!!!! pop goes the BAll. opening drive. Detroit turns around and capitalizes on the TO. And the injury just made it worse and now he's here. Denver South. The broncos are gonna regret what they did for real. B/c i dont think any team is gonna let a UDFA just have there way on them no matter who the team it is......
