It proves the axiom: You can never have enough running backs

There are deposits and there are withdrawals.
An NFL season is a week-to-week slog through the physics of force and mass, so each week the bills come due. "And you're going to need a lot of backs," Broncos running back Correll Buckhalter said. "To get through the season, you're going to need enough guys back there who can carry the ball and get through a game week after week. I think it's just that way."

Welcome to the Broncos' backfield, already sporting the bruises of August with a full season still waiting on the calendar. Just two of the team's backs — Peyton Hillis and Darius Walker — have participated in all 25 of the team's training camp practices, and neither is in line to be the team's primary back.

So while there were some eyebrows raised because of the Broncos' aggressiveness at running back in free agency and the draft, their supply already has been stretched over the past few weeks. "You need a lot of them," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said. "Everybody knows what happened here last season, and I've seen it happen in other places."

They have the worst luck with running backs. Although Mike Shanahan had a way of always finding another one.
My sister is a fan of Selvin Young. She was kind of disgusted they didnt pick him up again this year. Have you heard anything about him Quack?

How are you doing Bette? Yes, I remember very well you telling me I believe last year that you had a relative very high on Selvin Young. Deservedly so. Last year's nightmare though saw the Broncos have 5 running backs go down with injuries including Selvin.

This past spring during the Spring Mini Camps you noticed Bronco Coach McDaniels brought in a couple more running backs plus they drafted Moreno out of Georgia. Selvin Young was still battling injuries and was released in late April of this year. Personally, I was shocked. This guy started last year and this year is out of a job. Now, I am not sure if he has hooked on with another team yet but will keep my eye out.

Here is link to last story I found on him:
