I think Mike Shanahan respects Selvin walking on, Selvin's work ethic, Selvin's 2007 performance, and Selvin the workout warrior. 205 to 212 lbs of lean muscle? 360 lb bench? I wonder what he squats. I wanta play, coach!
Denver will still use a running back comittee. It doesn't mean that much extra time for Selvin, unless the extra 7 lbs and speed help him and their coaches see that he might be able to carry the ball more than the 10-15 per game they used him for last year.
TH did reduce his contract $ignificantly for the team, so I'd consider that as "good attitude". Maybe coach leatherface exhibited more of little dictator syndrome...
