well said to all. lets give Franklin just as any other o-lineman a chance to gel. hes played 1 preseason game and your ready to throw him to the wolfs. and Pressley is coming in to be a role player not the key of the defense. the line needs to be a cohesive unit constantly interchanging with fresh guys. john fox likes his D-lines like his RBs,rotating and fresh.at this point we can afford a little quality for some quantity.

You forgot one huge connection included here Mr. Saccomano, the Broncos and the Bills are also the only two teams, to come from the Foolish Club, and not change cities, or team names!!!

Thanks for the history lesson Jim. Ralph Wilson has been courted of recent by their neighbors in Canada. They do love their Team in Western NY, and Mr. Wilson has been loyal to his fans. Mr. Wilson, a true patriarch of the old AFL.
I believe Mr. Wilson is the oldest owner in the league… (sorry Al).

Also nice photo of Karl Meckleburg going after QB Joe Ferguson with Center Jim Ritcher trying to hold off another Broncos defensive player.

freak,Pressley has been cut from 3 teams the past 3 years,so I doubt he will make the roster!

If Warren is out the rest of the year,our Dline will be gutted every week,we need a good DT,not a DT reject,that nobody else wants,just saying.

Another great read from one of our longtime greats… Our masterful communicator and historian, thanks again Mr. Saccamono. Looking forward to seeing how we fair against Buffalo and what we passed on in Marcel Darius. Go Broncos!

Plus Pressley is from NC State which will give Irving a very familiar face!! Apparently Pressley was a beast in college!! Hopefully he can be as a Bronco as well!

Well we got Pressley, the DT from Colts so that will help!!

The Broncos were assigned DT DeMario Pressley from Indianapolis today.

Assuming Marcel can get past Our young OL. Franklin worries me in pass protection true, but we all knew his run blocking was his bread and butter. Was why I and Denver organization were hoping to keep him, but he chose the dream team over us. Cuz I guess he figured if he is gonna play 2nd fiddle it might as well be on a better team. Harris coulda really helped on passing Downs. Guess its a good thing that Tebow isn’t in there yet, (cant believe i said that) so that Franklin can adjust to pass blocking before he is tasked with protecting the QBs blind side.

Glad Syd is out there … I really can’t wait for Saturday. Franklin will get alot of work against Shawn Merriman and a Buffalo D that combined for 9 sacks agaisnt Bears. I think this will be a great test for our Oline and I think that means we should leave them out there longer. Plus franklin goes up against Miller and im sure he has gotten work with Doom and Ayers, if anyone can bring him up to speed I hope they can. I wasn’t a fan of the pick. Woulda preffered Paea but now that we got him im down. Cuz Ryan Harris was hampered by some injuries in the past but in the zone he is as good a Run Blocker and Pass Blocker as anyone out there. Later days, TRB…
