RB's and more RB's!

So it seems that we don't have enough running backs on our team. Let's see... we signed Correll Buckhalter, LaMont Jordan, J.J. Arrington, and Darius Walker as free agents. We drafted in the first round (12th overall) Knowshon Moreno and Kestahn Moore (rookie free agent,) and we kept Ryan Torain. Also it was reported that McHoodie was very interested in Derrick Ward,

Plus we still have Full Backs Peyton Hillis and Spencer Larsen.

I think strongly that Peyton Hillis should be Denvers full time RB instead of a FB. He has everything it takes to run the ball and has the work ethic to be a 1000 rusher easily.

However, since Cutler's gone it appears that McHoodie is taking that Bear's philosphy of run the ball more than pass since Bear's product Kyle Orton was successful in that type of smashmouth offense. Hence all the extra RB's to make sure when they start going down with injuries, they will be replaced easily. So a Run by committee seems to be the safe way to go.
