It is a consern when your starting defence can not stop the run. I am more conerned with the linebacking situation than the front four. We at least have a combination of youth and experience on the line. There is not much to choose from with the linebackers. Only time will tell. As a fan, right now I'm biting my lip and wondering if I need to go and light a candle. I am all for bringing someone in who has the possibility of making the team better.

Rice as well as Marcelious Wiley and maybe bring one of them in. Browning is a good player but why not bring one of them guys who've Already proven they can be a factor on Defense a 1 yr deal wouldn't hurt and with the starters we have wouldn't be a bad Idea. I also have to agree with most when it comes to Gordon i have not seen anything to believe what the coaches are saying, did y'all see the article in the post about him that was real shocking to see how high the staff is on this guy when he hasn't done anything in a game situation. Quick note : The broncos will be fine and will satisfy us all when the season kicks off. I Think that the Broncs ought to serioslly look at S.

People are ready to throw in the towel on the season before it even starts, and some have had the audacity to rip our coaches and act like they themselves should be coaching this team. Shanny and Bates are where they are for a reason. They are proven, they know what they are doing, and I for one am ready to see this team in REAL action on September 9th. That Bates quote nails it right on. Let's let the coaches do their job making sure they have the best and the right players for this team while we enjoy the privilege of being fans of the best team in football. GO BRONCOS!!

When I heard Warren was leaving, I thought maybe this meant Thomas was coming along at a fast pace. But now with the signing of Browning, I'm wondering if Thomas is even in the plan to see the field this fall. I’m surprised I haven’t heard more about Marcus Thomas lately.

He's at the end of his contract this year and the Vikes cant seem to settle a contract ext with him (currently, 13M/3yrs). Throw the Vikes a couple bones and get this guy. YippeeKyYiiii!

It's more like a bandaid until our younger guys step up. We got two DE's and a DT that the coaches are pretty high on right now but they wanted to have more time with them before throwing them into the fire. I don’t see this signing asa longer tern fix.

That’s the most important thing to us — who’s going to make that 53; who’s going to be the defensive players who make that squad. Sometimes when you gimmick, you just gamble all the time, hey, you may look good, but the end result is that we may not be able to pick out the right guys. So when we play base-fundamentals football, it’s easier for us to evaluate.” .....and take a deep breath, sit back, and relax until September 9th.

There is nothing wrong with bringing more competition to the table. HOWEVER, I really think the broncos need to take a look at Tank Johnson still. It would be the best move we've made yet. With use signing these guys who are just about over the hill, we are not preparing for the future. We have made this move time and time again and, time and time again we have to spend tons of money repairing out d-line the following year because of cap issues and age. We need some more young talent on the line! I know Gordon is young but why not bring in more competition for him? More looks? He hasn't been impressive in the least bit for the preseason games and for being one of the starters as of right now, you'd think he'd make a much bigger effort in preseason to keep that position. He maybe practicing well but he isn't playing well. He is on the Broncos, so of course he is going to play better against his own team rather than opposing teams.
