i think we need a middle linebacker that can make tacklesoure middle linebackers cannot do this very often we need a playmaker in the middle give winborn a try. offense looks impressive. go broncos.

Seriously guys, Im just a big of a fan as anyone, but this preseason stuff just doesnt bother me. No reason to get all worked up. The only gripe I have is that I could play QB against the Broncos. I would just take the snap, stand there, look around, and find someone open. The QB never gets touched, its amazing. Get a pass rush, somehow, please.

I remember everybody hating on Hixon as a returner last year. Everyone was glad that he got cut because he was not being aggressive and hitting the hole on returns. Hixon was cut because he was not performing for the Broncos. I guess he got a wake up call when he was released. The Broncos can’t be blamed for cutting him.

Also Lelie showed how much he wasn’t willing to earn a starting position when he cried about the Javon Walker trade.

Bones it may sound easy to cut every one on the team but we still need to pay off their contracts so cutting half of the starters wont make any sense. I agree that changes need to be made but to get rid of players and then Lelie is a player that showed his talent 4 years ago, but its 2008 now and he has lost the little skill he had.

This team reminds me of Shananhan first team that was 8-8. They were really good offensivelly but real bad defensively. This Defensive Line is sooooo Badddddddddd………. Jarvis Moss is a bust. He is slow and weak and Crowder is limited. Start Kenny Peterson at end so they can stop the run. I know this is crazy but move DJ back to middle and Start Woodyard he makes plays. Start Barrett and McCree @ Safety and Cut Bly. Start Foxy or Paymah and have Darrent Williams I mean Jack Williams as a back up. Cut Sapp and Start Hillis with Larsen as backup. Cut Jackson @ WR and sign Ashley Lelie after he is cut. I feel Like Woody Paige right now.

Average team but lots of hope with young team. I think we have had two good drafts withe the Cutler Draft Class and this one. By the way WHY DID THEY CUT DOMINICK HIXON…………………………………………………

Go BRONCOS!

why is doom getting surgery

Dumerville dislocated/fractured a finger. He and Manuel had surgery today. Im sure they’ll be in oversized casts, and will likely play against Oakland.

1st team Offense: Disjointed first time they had the ball but were picture perfect the other two times. I was real surprised that Shanny didn’t have them play the first series in the scond half.
B+ Minimum
1st team Defense: What’s a “pass rush”? The Broncos D line sure doesn’t know. Somebody, please, teach Bly how to tackle. AAARRGGGHHHH!!!
D+ at beest.
Ramsey: Of all the passes he threw he looked off his receibver only once! He needs to be cut! I don’t know that Hackney would be any better, but at least give him a shot against the Cardinals.
Kick off Coverage: When Prater doesn’t boom it through the end zone the poverage and tackling arwe pathetic! There’s only one time this whole preseason that when hasn’t boom3ed that the other team didn’t get past the 30. That was last night when BG returned it to the 23. See, improving!! No!! Two different Broncos had shots at the BG returned at or near the 15. WHIFFFF!!!!
Grade: D-
Kick off return: All but one were also through the end zone, so had to say. The one that was retuened never even showed a glimmer of hope that it would be broken for a big return.
Grade : C
Punting: Kerns gross average was 48 yards. Looks good on paper. Net punting yardage, 30.5 yards! This is an absolute disaster in the making. Neither punter seems to be able to grasp the concept of not out kicking the coverage. Coverage is atrocious!
Grade: F-
Offense Short yardage (3 yards of less on 3rd, 4th or goal to go): Broncos offenmse had done an exceptional job in the first two games. Today only 5 out of 8. Not an area the Broncos can afford to regress in. Grade C-
Defense short yardage: Packers were 8 of 13. Broncos also regressed here.
Grade: D+
Penalties: On the surface good as there were only 5. But, all but one of then was at a critical momentum changing time!
The Broncos are a very talented, very young team. As with any team during this time, their play was and will continue to be erratic until they get sufficient playing time together. While they have the potential to make the playoffs, they also have the potential to have an even worse record than last year. I’m not saying that they’re not a significantly better team than last year, I’m saying they will both delight and totally dissapoint us this year. They will be back in 2009 with fire in their eyes and the experience to get the Broncos back to the level of excellence we’ve become so used to.
PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP CULTER HEALTHY ALL 16 GAMES!!!!
