08:02 AM ET 08.27 | "Running back" may not be an apt description in Denver. Most tailbacks run. At Dove Valley, they hobble. The Broncos ask for patience. The season opener, Sept. 12 at Jacksonville, still is 16 days away. "I want to be a guy my teammates can depend on," said LenDale White, who would be the Broncos' starting tailback in their preseason game Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers if not for a hamstring injury. "At the same time, I don't feel like I have to press to get back in there." ... The 2010 Broncos haven't had a running game since the first two hours of training camp.

"'I want to be a guy my teammates can depend on,' said LenDale White, who would be the Broncos' starting tailback in their preseason game Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers if not for a hamstring injury."

Wait - isn't he suspended for the first 4 games?

Carroll is with the Seabags now. Out of sight... out of mind.

That's why being and OSU grad is just so much better.

It's all good. They already made their money in college.

Which would put you ahead of the OSU football team. Always near the bottom in the Big 10 football player graduation rate. ;-) Of course you're better than one of the other OSU's(in OK).

Ummmm, Pass, pass Offence....that will work, (Rolls eye's.).

Ya beat me to it. You just cannot make this stuff up. He is suspended the first four games of the season. But so what? He is not healthy enough to practice now.
What the fu## were they thinking to sign him?

The good news in all this is that LenDale found a new diet that works. He dropped from 265 to 219lbs. ( so he claims) from taking tequila out of his diet. Honest , he said that. Just how much tequila was he taking in each day? He should be a candidate for a new liver by the eighth game of the season.

That never was a problem in Denver, under Shanahan.

True. But they ran him out of town for a reason.

A shot of tequila has about 100 calories. I'll let you do the math.

Maurice Clarett is out of jail. How about a second chance in Denver?

Do I factor in the worm every 35 shots?
