The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... GM John Elway has high expectations for Anderson. Anderson has even higher expectations for himself. "My expectations are higher than his, I promise you that," Anderson told reporters after the Broncos matched the four-year, $18 million offer sheet Anderson signed with the Dolphins. "I'll leave it right there."
Diehards Line:
Those expectations, as explained by Anderson, deal with team first, individual second. “I have big goals,” he explained. “The team goals are always ever year to win the Super Bowl. ... As far as individual, you want to have big games, rush for a lot of yards, be an All-Pro back.” As PFT suggested, to get there, Anderson will have to add significantly to his carries in the regular season. Last year, he averaged 10.1 per game. In the Super Bowl, he had 23. “I stayed on the field as long as I want to,” Anderson said. "They pretty much let me go. I think I can do it. I mean, I know I can do it. It’s not like I haven’t done it before. I’ve done it before.” Anderson and the Broncos clearly believe he can do it again. The team’s decision to match the offer proves it. It’s up to Anderson and the Broncos to turn it into production.
