For the Broncos, the weekend proved to offer no time to rest.
A busy week opening week of free agency carried over into Saturday as the team fortified its secondary by adding a pair of safeties — Marquand Manuel, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, and Marlon McCree, late of the San Diego Chargers.
Terms on the contracts for both were not disclosed.
McCree, a street free agent, started all 16 games for the San Diego Chargers in 2007. He logged 65 total tackles — 48 solo — three interceptions and six passes defensed as part of a Chargers defense that held opposing passers to a 70.0 rating last year, the best for any NFL defense in 2007.
He has been a starter on winners in recent years, spending 2005 with the Carolina Panthers and the last two seasons in San Diego. During those three seasons, his teams were 34-12 during games in which he played, a statistic skillfully researched by Patrick Smyth of the media-relations department.
McCree’s best statistical season came in 2005, when he notched 87 total tackles. three interceptions and 10 passes defensed.
The eighth-year veteran celebrates his 31st birthday this St. Patrick’s Day.
Manuel, an unrestricted free agent, started all 16 regular-season games for the Seattle Seahawks in 2005, then started throughout their run to Super Bowl XL. He moved on to Green Bay in 2006, where he again started the full season, before joining the Panthers in 2007, for whom he started twice while playing in all 16 games.
Manuel has 38 starts in 91 career games played, with 215 total tackles, 10 passes defensed, a pair of interceptions and 33 stops on special teams.
The University of Florida product enters his seventh year in the league, with the Broncos being the fifth team for which he has played.
Discuss below, and vaya con Dios.

We’re just fine at RB with a two-headed rushing attack of Young and Henry. I wouldn’t be surprised if Shanny pushed the button on either WR’s Malcolm Kelly or Limas Sweed. He loves to put up points and hates a struggling offense.
Man you guys are fickle.
A year ago everyone loved Dre Bly, now you want to trade him already. Everyone was stoked about getting Travis Henry, and now I’ve seen people that just want to straight up release the guy.
How long till Boss and McCree are getting run out of town?
Maybe Shanahan will draft the best guy on the board with a RB. I don’t think they will, but then again, look at when they got Cutler and how surprising it was. Then again, a QB is someone you build your team around and need over the long run as a franchise player. RB is, as well, but it is less likely. I really wish I could see how far TD would have come had he still been playing right now. Otherwise, I see Denver really drafting OL in the first. It’s the smartest, safest choice, and the OL in this draft are really good players. My draft, then again it doesn’t really matter – it’s just my own opinion, but my draft would have an OL in the first, a DT in the second, and a WR in the fourth, and whatever after that. I do like the idea, though, of trading next years 1st rounder to get another, earlier pick in the first so that Denver would have 2 1st rd. picks. Then they could get Glenn Dorsey AND someone like Ryan Clady. Sounds good to me, but Denver will most likely do something completely different.
Actually, check that. To be consistent, I would actually prefer Owen Schmidt at FB for the fourth rd. pick, should he fall that far.
SicknessFl is CORRECT!
I say we trade nobody and just keep signing and soon enough, drafting!
Vinci shut up ight Mcree can tackle you only saw that game when we were getting our ass kicked by the chargers who picked off cutler? This is a good sign draft a young safety and a receiver and we’re back in the playoffs.
KEEP EVERY BODY DONT TRADE UNLESS ITS 4 FITZ BUT EVEN HE AINT GOING NEWHERE MAYBEE PICK UP BRYANT JOHNSON DRAFT CLADY AND WHERE GOOD
Sicknessfl,
Dre Bly did OK for playing in a non-system, or rather dial-a-system, grab-bag, “Battle of the Opposing Coordinators” fiasco. He’s a keeper and I think this season will show it. On the other hand, how would you characterize Travis Henry in ’07? Inconsistent? Distracting? Injury-plagued? All of the above? I can’t erase from my mind the game at San Diego. He puts the ball on the ground (Cutler was blamed) by taking a give with his arm down and later gets blown up by a backer on his way to sacking Cutler. His block was as good as a speed-bump in a high school parking lot 5 minutes after the end of the day! I’ll let the coaching staff decide, but if they cut him by the season opener, I wouldn’t shed a tear.
I’m just sayin’.
They will not cut Henry, they have too much invested. I am sure that somewhere in his new contract there is an easy out clause for the Broncos. If he does poorly they will not hesitate to pull the trigger and get rid of him. I wish I could say that he is trade bait, but at this point, unless he has a stand out year, no one is going to want him.
oh god Broncos fans we are in some trouble if Manuel starts. I live in Rockford Il next to chi-town so of course i’ve seen the bears and the packers play and lets just say i can play saftey better then this dude and im a fat 18 year old he got burned more by Berrian and MUHAHMUD’s old butt. I’ll be surprised if he makes it threw trianing camp. He lost his starting spot to Atri Bigby who sucks so thats just a preview for all you guys
i like the marlon mcree sign. still not really sure about manuel though. for the draft. i like ryan clady from the boise state broncos. helped lead the broncos over oklahoma in fiesta bowl and also is a big, fast offensive lineman that would be great for our system. would be a good replacement for Matt Lepsis. and have Pears and ryan harris battle it out for the right offensive tackle spot.
I love the addition of mcree thats awesome i have 1 question tho i may be looking at it wrong but why does it look like were looking at TE im pretty sure were set at that position
NxtYrNvrArrives Says I would actually prefer Owen Schmidt at FB for the fourth rd. pick
Thank-you. The team is looking solid. If coach wants to get back to running the way we use to we need a FB. A FB will give Jay more protection too.
I agree, Sick. I don’t know why people dislike Bly so much. Sure he got burned a few times, but so did Champ. And as much as I love Champ Bailey, I really have no idea what he did to get invited to the pro bowl since he did nothing other than tackle (which I guess no one else on the team could do.) Dre Bly seemed to have a better season.
And Henry was great when he wasn’t hurt, and you can’t blame him for the marijuana trouble when he was found not guilty. Personally, I’m hoping we draft Sweed. I know absolutely nothing about college football, I never watch it, but I heard he was similar to Brandon Marshall. And if we can’t have a Brandon Marshall and Javon Walker — we might as well have two Brandon Marshall’s…which is better.
dwillfoeveh – turn it up, turn it right up! Cutler had 14 interceptions for the year, are you saying he was economical or something? Like you said though we were getting our ass kicked so ofcourse Cutler is going to force balls. I’m sure even you might’ve got a pick sitting back there! But that’s not the point, the Chargers let him go because he can’t tackle to save himself and Eric Weddle is a much better player.
This I just gathered off a few clips from nfl.com:
-Week 14 Titans – Chris Brown stepped McCree for a TD
-Week 11 Jaguars – Fred Taylor found the angle on McCree
-Week 10 Colts – Missed a tackle on Kenton Keith for a TD
-Week 9 Vikings – 3 missed Tackles and finally burnt on the outside by A.D, several leading to TD’s. He had a mare!
That’s only the tip of the ice-berg. You say dwillfoeveh that we should draft a young safety…why when we have McCree to save the day!?
Next time my friend do your homework before you come at me. ‘ight mate!
to all of you immediate mcree and manuel haters, chill for a second. the broncos did not give them the two starting spots or anything. they were brought in for depth, and to compete for playing time. how about we wait until they play for the broncos before we run them out of denver.
and to all you RB drafters, do you really think shanny would use a first rounder on an RB? shanahan, the same guy who (with a decent o-line) can pull a running back out of his ass and get him 1000 yards, would not burn a 12th pick on a running back, and there is no way mcfadden will drop that far, so it should be a non issue.
if you don’t remember, the broncos were 8-8 the last two years, so they really weren’t that good. that being said, lets give the players a chance to actually play for the broncos before we decide that there not good enough to be an 8-8 bronco.
I ain’t hating on these guys (except McCree really) but I just don’t get people saying oh that solves our secondary woes. Or it’s gonna be the greatest Denver secoundary ever! I mean take a break. McCree really ain’t that good and he’s not going to make the secondary all that much better, if gets the starting spot, which at the moment Abdullah would get.
Here’s the thing Josh, when was the last time Shanny did what you THOUGHT he’d do with a pick this high? I would think that he’d trade down and get additional picks? My guess is that we trade out with the Cardinals because they REALLY need a running game and there’s going to be plenty of teams on the horn to get this guy. Mendenhall is an impact player and is going to be a HOT deal at pick 12. If Clady falls that far, which I doubt, then he’ll be the new LT next year. Otherwise you can bet your ASS Shanny’s not taking a WR that high. WR is a complete crap shoot year in and year out. All of the premier DT’s will be gone by the time we pick and so will McFadden. And one last observation: We had 3 different guys start at RB last year, that’s not exactly “stable” now is it?
Peterg:
“not now or ever will be” Niko. What do you even know or hear about this kid.I believe I read that his coaches including Holmgren said the Broncos got a steal with signing Koutouvides.You probably are one of those haters that wants big Al back to right? The logic or lack of on this blog just makes me want to respond to fans.As you say on all your postings ” I wouldn’t be surprised if you are wrong!
I think Shanny feels he does have good O-lineman, he had 2 starters out for all or most of the season last year. My understanding is that the draft is pretty deep in O-linemen and he can still pick up a quality player in the later rounds. They also drafted Ryan Harris last year and since he is still with the team I think they expect him to play. After observing the Broncos draft the last few years I think they will pick a RB first round if that is the best athelete on the board. They need another impact player. I don’t think they have the confidence in Hall or Young to be an every down back and with Henry being injury prone…….well, I think they may pick Mcfadden if he is there. I’m just trying to guess what the Broncos might do, with Shanahan being an offensive minded coach I think he will draft a running back this year. I also think they will draft a DT, OL, WR, P ,FB but who knows, that’s the fun of it!
Well this is a good move we now have solid replacements for Lynch after he retires but, there is a down side to mcCree he is a little slow on pass coverage has bad angles tackling , but he is a team player hopefully he can bring some veteran leadership too the locker room and play hard all season. Now i really love what shannys doing he is staying under the radar and under the CAP space we have left to sign our draft picks. Which i think we need a burner wide out because yes Marshall is A Beast and is only gonna get better but if we have noone who could take pressure off of him then things are only gonna get worse. And i dont feel any reciever we have picked up so far is a burner. if we look at this now all we Really need in the draft is a DT, An OL And a Wideout those are the only glaring holes i see in our team
Don’t forget FB and punter.
Bronco’s O-Line is in transition. I think Nalen will come back and play at least another year because he is …, well, Nalen. Hamilton will try to return, but I doubt if even the Dr.s’ know what will happen. When I heard “spinal cord concussion”, I thought that can’t be good; then he has to take the season just to rest. That’s probably the Dr.’s way of allowing his body to heal itself…if it can. Warrick Holdman had the same thing and is apparently out of football. When the pads and hats go on and the contact begins, Hamilton is just one hit away from knowing if he’s done or not. With Lepsis’ retirement, that leaves Pears, Holland, Kuper and Myers with experience. Harris is entering his 2nd season having had surgery during his 1st. That’s seven guys. Sure, there are some other candidates currently on the roster who might make the team (too bad about losing Eslinger), but realistically the Broncos must acquire at least two quality prospects. This is a very good year to draft O Linemen. Ryan Clady, Branden Albert, Jeremy Zuttah, the T from Vanderbilt just to name a few. It’s a priority. The Broncos may keep 9 OL on the roster. Anyone they add must be able to fit the system quickly because Nalen’s age and Hamilton’s health could throw them into the game at any time.
I usually never lash out on the message board, just not my style (hell were all broncos fans) BUT: peterg are you an idiot? Niko will get cut! Are you serious? Do you watch or follow football? Better yet, do you know more than Shanny and (Tampa, New Orleans, and Cleveland, who were all heavily interested in Niko). Niko waived an offer from Tampa (which I believe was a little more than Denvers) bc they wanted him on the outside, and he’s is a true Mike. Did you read what Seattles coaches wrote about the kid, or have you followed his career. Maybe bc I am big Purdue fan I know of him well; but don’t just say sh*T to speak. I am not saying he’s a stud, or big name MIKE, but I think with Boss and DJ, Niko will be a solid Mike. At least give the guy a chance. We didn’t pay his a** 7mil to play special teams. And I am damn positive Shanny has a better eye for talent than you. Doesn’t him being a captain in Seattle hold any weight to his character, or ability to be recognized? He’s a great tackler, pursues to the ball like of SOB, and is mean as hell. As Niko was quoted in the Denver post (got to respect this):
“The perception is he’s a backup and special-teams player. I’m not going to talk about how I’m going to be a great player in this league. We’ll have to wait until training camp comes and the NFL season begins, and that’s where you’ve got to prove yourself that the Broncos made a great move.”
Mason i saw you talking about deshard choice and would also love to see him get drafted by denver he seems like a bright kid who could really fit the scheme. I think we are taking Cutlers old teammate from vaderbuilt the OT because he is athletic and smart.
good signing of m & m. regardless of what people think. lynch is a bad a** and he knows his stuff. hes just getting older. i think this year will be a learning year for both m & m.im pretty excited about our d. now we need a couple dt’s. yes our scheme sucked last year but so did our pressure. we have a servicable line as of right now, but the giants beating the patriots in the superbowl should emphasize what an excellent line will do for a game.
list of needs as i see them:
1. dt, ot (always need depth in these two areas. always! but we need a stud dt to help elvis and eukaban)
2. wr,rb,lb ( we always need depth here also, but we need to fill our five reciever sets as well)
3. fb (remember what griffith did for t.d.? we need a stud fb to help running game)
4. p,k, elam might not be back and hes getting old anyway
in my opinion we need to trade henry. i also want to see what he does this year, since hes famous for making combacks after bad seasons. anyway heres my 2 cents.
“go broncos! and bring the pressure in ’08″
imready, I like your thinking, the only thing is Mcfadden isn’t the type of runner that Terrell Davis was. Mcfadden is more a homerun hitter more like Portis or Tatum Bell. If they want someone like TD then they should look at Michael Hart or James Stewart, even Mendanhall is more like TD than Mcfadden. And some believe that Mendanhall is better and has more upside than Mcfadden.
As for the new signings, I like the Mcree signing except for one thing. He’s not getting any younger, if he plays 3 more years I would be shocked. And as for Manuel I think we could have done w/o him. His stats don’t exactly impress me. Hamza does have good upside and could very well be a great safety in the future, but I don’t think that he is starting material this year.
Sickness, I never thought that signing Henry was a good idea other than his last year in TN I don’t remember the last time he didn’t get injured during a season. And I still think that trading FOR Dre Bly last year was the smart thing to do. However I think we gave up to much for him. But having him makes our secondary sick. Sure he got beat a few time last year. Every CB gets beat in this league. And If I remember correctly we finished the as one of the top pass defenses in the league. Which was a huge improvement for them considering that we were almost last the year before.
Trading for Fitzgerald would be stupid considering that the Cards are supposed to pay something like 12 mill next year and 14 the year after. That is just WAY too much money to spend on him. I wouldn’t be totally against drafting a receiver in the first round. Our boy JC needs another target big time. Rod Smith is done, Javon is gone, Brandon is an excellent receiver and now everyone knows that. So if we don’t get another target for JC then I honestly don’t think that Brandon will have as good of a year.
Stokley is a great Slot guy, in my opinion none better than him in the league today. But thats what he is a SLOT guy, he isn’t an outside receiver.
Although our #1 need is either an OL or DT. We need to get someone to plug the middle. We got burned so many games last year for big rushing yardage that it seriously was the downfall of our team last year.
Peterg
You obviously have no clue about football or the NFL so maybe you should take your thoughts elsewhere. I hear Rachael Ray caters to idiots maybe you’ll have better luck there!!
well analyzed and smartly said 2bailey4……i kinda c wer ur going wid this,,,basically we cant let one down-year(07 season) change our whole perspectives of players,,,,every year changes,,players get run-over,miss tackles,,fail blocks,, and get burned several times,, but the nxt year to expect to see improvement,,,we always come back to see them play….idk but thats how i see it….yes players are getting old and we can expect them to pass on the trait to younger prospects….we thought there might never be another Deon Sanders,,then comes along oru own “Champ” Bailey…it may be too bold to say,,,but i believe Champ is better than Deon,,more instictive better tackler,,puts in his all every game,,and is never flashy (good sportsmanship).
i’d like to see mendellhall in orange and blue too…but we may never know wud Pat and Shanahan are thinking,,,its jst exciting to see who gets drafted….
Wow! peterg is way back up there, but now I get it. He has run afoul of the Hellenic brotherhood. OPA!
i agree with 2bailey4. trading for fitzgerald is not worth it. he’s going to cost a lot of money to pay, plus the players and picks the broncos would have to send for him. the cards won’t give up a player like him for nothing. plus, marshall has shown that he is obviously the number 1 reciever, and bringing in another bonafide number one is probably not the best plan, as we can use that talent and money elswhere on the team. Also, i agree with everone here about the travis henry thing. He’s not really worth the money and risk of injury, but trading him won’t do much good, because he has a big contract and will hit our CAP. I think the best idea is to draft an OL at 12, and if all goes well, a DT like Kentwan Balmer or Frank Okam later on. On day 2 is when the broncos should try to pick up a bigger, more physical back like TD to compliment selvin young, who is more of a quick, slashing back, as well as a number 2 WR to play with marchall and stokes.
as i said before, i still cannot see shanny picking an RB at 12. TD was a pretty late rounder, if i recall.
I think shanny will take a WR first round. then i could see him taking a DT someone like laws, then go for O-line , RB,FB, maybe LB, P and K
M&M are Great acquisitions to sure-up our secondary. The middle of the D-line is next and we are back in the Super Bowl. I’m like Josh about pick an OT at 12, but the draft has proven to be more bust in that categorie early in the draft (ie. Robert Gallery- that was the year that the raiders couldn’t do a 3 step drop w/o getting sacked.) If we can’t get Jake Long or maybe Branden Albert then I say we should look to compliment our interior D-Line or our WR’s (Rod can’t play forever). I have to believe we have developed someone to take the place of Lepsis.
So far we are doing great in FA!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!
Ok this has got to stop lets not talk about how good a fit this RB or that RB would be for our system, i know im guilty of it too, but lets be real ANY back would be good in our system, Terrel davis ran a 4.67 at his combine, and look what he did, and tatum bell ran a sub 4.4 and look how that turned out, clinton portis ran a 4.28 but he aint been half the back he was when he was in orange and blue. from now on lets all agree as long as they have legit talent theyll be productive in our system
I am happy the Broncos are looking at the Safeties and the Wide out slots. However they really need to find a young target for Cutler to fire the ball to. Granted we have some skill players there now, but Stokely and Shepard are both old and slow and are of average size. We need a 6’4″ 200+ lbs target out there a guy who can take the hit get up quickly and dash another 40 yards at top speed with out missing a beat.
Wen I look back at last season I think of some O line help and some speed with a solid target on the out side. Even though m.c is right that any back would be a runner in our system. He missed in the facts we need linemen and some WR that keep the safeties and corner honest. Last year we just couldn’t score enough or stay on the filed long enough to give the D what they really needed…rest. With the additions of Boss and McCree it helps a lot. The fact still remains you have to score points to win, and those guys wont be scoring to many points.
I hope the Broncos do the right thing this year….unlike last year…and get some O weapons in the first round and not a lumbering lineman that turns out to be more of a dud than the hyped star he was made out to be.
Agreed that they are all “productive” in this system, but this offense seems to work best when you have that one guy you can work and work and work, and only bring the change of pace guy in 12 or 15 times a game. TD was a special player, and we should not be looking for the “next TD” (or Elway or Rod Smith…). Where I think rotating backs hurts the offense is when you have a guy starting to find a rhythm, then he sits the next series. Personally I would prefer that dynamic guy you can count on to carry the load every week, but what makes them special also makes them rare.
Also, I agree that Fitzgerald is too expensive, but I don’t think there would be a problem with him and Bmarsh playing together. I know Fitzgerald is a clear #1 talent, but I would argue that Anquan Boldin is AZ’s #1, and Fitzgerald is 1A. I obviously don’t follow the Cards a whole lot, but I’ve never heard any talk about him grumbling about it…..
Lastly, why does everyone want to beat other fans up over their opinions? I hope PeterG is wrong, but he is entitled to wonder how good Niko actually is, seeing as none of us has watched him play an NFL game at LB (Mike or otherwise). Lots of guys are awesome in college, and not all of them turn out great in the NFL. And looking at last season, we were releasing and signing guys througout the pre- and regular seasons, and some of them were (and are) good players. Again, I have a good feeling about Niko, but why can’t we all just get along?!?!?!?
Oh, and if we do grab a RB in the first round, I would hate to see McFadden in Denver. Hope I’m wrong, but we could be looking at the next Lawrence Phillips or Maurice Clarett if he doesn’t chill out…..
Does anyone know if the team considered Michael Boulware rather than M&M?
I think if Dorsey or Ellis aren’t availavle We shoul take that O-lineman from Vanderbilt. Thats a good pick because he’s big, he’s atheletic, and he knows how Cutler plays and how Cutler may react in certain situations so that would help this offense a lot. I don’t think we should take a Wideout in the first round mainly because those are the ones that take a while to make the jump from college to the NFL if they make the jump at all. Just look at the Lions and all the wideouts they’ve drafted
Has no one payed any frickin attention to my possible draft for the Broncos? Andrew, Vinci tell me that this is a possibility and could work.
1st – Keith Rivers OLB- let’s D.J. stay inside and creates a monster LB corp.
2nd – Pat Sims/Trevor Laws DT – Provides another big man to help Marcus
4th – Oniel Cousins OT – good zoner and adds possibility of a stater
4th – Duane Brown OT – good zoner and adds depth
5th – Letroy Guion DT – adds more depth and possible starter
5th – *David Roach S – future of Broncos; can learn from John Lynch
7th – Jayson Foster WR/KR – definite returner with great speed, agility and burst
7th – *Robert Killebrew OLB – better than some of the guys on the team now; fast enough to cover Gates, Clark, or Gonzalez
* – denotes possible different choice of player
with David Roach and Robert Killebrew I think we should go in that direction. David’s pick could be replaced with a WR and the Broncos have luck with late picked WRs. Brandon Marshall – 4th rd, Rod Smith – not picked. and in the 7th we should either add OLB depth, MLB depth, DT depth, WR depth, or OT/OG depth
in the 5th round we could possibly get Tashard Choice and add another RB threat with Selvin Young. Travis Henry is not a home run threat. He is a 3 yard back who occasionally breaks a tackle and blows ahead for 10 yards.
And when I was watching NFL Replay yesterday I realized something. Javon Walker and Travis Henry seemed to get much, MUCH worse as the season prgressed. I know they were both injured but they never made the best of a good situation.
in the 5th round we could grab a receiver such as Marcus Monk or Darius Reynaud, from Arkansas and West Virginia.
in the 7th we could see if Ernie Wheelwright is still there because he is talented and a good compliment to Brandon 1 & 2. If he isn’t there possibly the WR from Hawaii Jason Rivers or from Miami Lance Leggett.
Trade the whole ball of wax away for someone elses 1st and 2nd (a top 5 pick team) to get Jake Long and throw that 2nd rounder and next years 2nd rounder to get Felix Jones. Then we will rule the world……
first, we could settle for an OT for much lower pick and secondly felix jones isn’t the next walter payton… not that I know of anyway. ruling the world may be a bit extreme because we’d still need to adress DT, possibly CB for depth, WR, and o-line depth. ruling the world is a bit out of our reach if that’s all we do.
If Tashard Choice was available in the 5th, that would be a steal. A WR who looked good at the combine and did well in college ball was Eddie Royal. D.J. Williams plays all LB positions well. However, I agree with others who say he would have a major impact as WLB. It seems that there might be several good DT from which to pick in the 2nd: Dre Moore, Trevor Laws, Red Bryant and maybe even Frank Okam. A big companion for Marcus Thomas. I wonder which round Quentin Demps S UTEP is projected?
BroncoBoy2012 all good ideas my friend.
I still like the idea of drafting Kenny Phillips (from the U), his stock seems to have taken a hit lately, but I still think it’s a pressing need even with the latest signings. M&M look to be stop gap players whereas Phillips would be a long term solution. Maybe we can trade down and still pick up Phillips.
With Rivers, that could be a good pick, but I could see the same type of gameplay brought from Jarvis Moss at the Will position, if they triailed that?
Our most pressing needs though are at DT and WR. I don’t know what progress Ryan Harris has made, but maybe he can get a starting spot so we can draft at a different position.
My Draft:
Rnd 1 – S Kenny Phillips
Rnd 2 – DT Trevor Laws
Rnd 4 – WR D.J. Hall
Rnd 4 – OT
Rnd 5 – LB Tavares Gooden
Rnd 7 -
Peterg: Shouldn’t it be Nikos, or rather O Nikos? Oh, never mind, it’s a Greek thing and you probably wouldn’t understand. So much for giving players or even coaches (Shanahan) chances. You speak as if you know the Head Coach well. Well then, tell us why Shanahan signed Nikos Koutouvides. Maybe it’ll work and maybe not. Why not just chill and wait and see? If he turns out well you will have wasted a lot of trash-talk coupons all for a bunch of thin-skinned pessimism.
well said samparnell!!
Thank you for slightly agreeing with my Vinci. But do you think WR is really more important than OT? In my opinion I’d like to keep our QB from getting leveled from behind (even though he is sneaky and elusive).
Jarvis seems a bit unaware so I doubt he would be able to cover recievers, ends and backs but that’s what we brought Boss in for. And if we get Rivers we will have depth on our D-Line and maybe Crowder could play a little inside.
And I am sure the Broncos have 2 5th round picks.
we’d add depth by keeping Moss at end.
