The Facts: As we creep closer to the end of OTAs, there are some members of the Broncos who are still on the fence. Woody Paige and Troy Renck discussed how certain members of the Broncos will fare on The Sports Show. One of the players Renck and Paige discussed was Ball. While Ball remains optimistic that he’ll find a way to regain his position as Denver’s featured back, Renck says his time has come and gone. “If C.J Anderson stays healthy, his commitment is at a new level,” Renck said. “I don’t see Ball getting the chance to prove that anymore. I think the window closed on him last year.”
Diehards Line:
In case you missed it, Ball had a disappointing 2014 season in which he was supposed to run away with the starting job. While Ball’s downfall can be linked to his appendectomy before the season, this season he finds himself behind Denver’s breakout star from 2014, Anderson. At this point, there's no reason to believe a healthy Anderson won't open the season as the starter. And if he does, he'll be very busy. “It’s a bellcow offense," Renck noted. "The back doesn’t rotate in and out.”
