That said, no one knows his role this year. He spent much of last season on the practice squad, but he has shown some pass rush ability. With N.D. Kalu returning and the signing of Rosevelt Colvin, it will be hard for Bulman to find his way onto the line though.

"He's done a lot of pass rushing with the first group in nickel and those type of things," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's a guy that's earning his keep. He's done a very good job. He's going to be hard to keep off the field. That's the type of worker he is. He's an interesting kid. I remember last year I went to him and offered to take him on a trip with us when he was on the practice squad. He said, 'Coach, I'll go when I earn my trip when I'm playing.' So he's earning his trip right now."

QUOTE TO NOTE: "Well, I tell you what, there's a big battle going on there. You can really tell that all those guys really want to play and they all have really good skill. And that's good, because you want a lot of guys at that position because you never know what can happen. Sometimes, you have four there and everyone stays healthy and a guy doesn't get to play. Then, when you're a little thin there, then all of a sudden a rash of injuries hit. So you've always got to be prepared, because in our system it's such a vital point to have a guy that can really go at that part, and with Ahman (Green) looking healthy, Chris Brown coming in and (being) just real familiar with the zone scheme, and you've got Steve Slaton just carrying on what he's done from West Virginia. So I think we've got three different kinds of backs but, at the same time, three very exciting backs." -- RT Eric Winston when asked about the running back situation.
