Latest Terrell Davis Info From Adam Schefter in the Denver Post: From the
article http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/brnx1121b.htm "This is the kind of season it has been for Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis: He has twice as many magnetic resonance imaging tests as touchdowns. Davis underwent his fourth MRI on Monday and, like the previous three, the results were negative. Yet Davis still is concerned enough about his lower left leg, which has been bothering him for nearly a month and wants a specialist in San Francisco to study the results. "It's just kind of a cross-check with a guy that's known to be pretty good," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "He's still quite sore, and we want to make sure that we rule out all possibilities." But not even the specialist in San Francisco will be able to predict whether Davis will be able to play Sunday in Seattle, or any time in the near future. "I thought he was going to play this last week; then he set it back and didn't practice Saturday morning," Shanahan said. "I don't think anybody knows. We just have to wait and see." At this point, the Broncos are carrying on as if rookie running backs Mike Anderson and KaRon Coleman will be carrying the load. "You've got to," Shanahan said. "If he's there, it's a plus, and we'd like him to be there full speed. "But he keeps on setting that leg back. How long that pain's going to be there I don't think anybody knows. We'll just have to go on. Mike Anderson did a great job last game, played exceptionally well, and he has got to pick up the slack.'' My View: Mike Shanahan is no Bill Belichick, when it comes to coachspeak, but he's not far behind. He's saying basically the only things he can say. If I'm a Terrell Davis owner, I probably sit him this week unless I just didn't have many other options. I'd say the chances of him playing effectively this week are in the 40% range. Anderson had 138 total yards Sunday. He ran for 97 yards on 19 carries for a 5.1 yard per carry average. And that was against a San Diego rush defense that was ranked # 2 in rushing yards allowed per game over the last four games. In other words, the running game isn't a big problem for Mike Shanahan right now. He's got other things to worry about (like replacing CB Ray Crockett). The fact they haven't been able to nail down the exact problem is worrisome to me. Bottom line is I'm thinking Anderson as of right now. Good Luck!
