Football The Broncos: I don't see it. - Page 11

I really don't.

The Manning thing was a stroke of genius, if only because John Elway has the benefit of being Manning's idol. I tell you what, if I was a future Hall of Fame basketball player, and none of you know me so let's just say I am, I'd probably be more inclined to play for the Pacers under Larry Bird (favorite player of all time) than on a small market playoff team like the Memphis Grizzlies.

I think the Broncos, with that acquisition, are about to have themselves a Top 5 passing game in the NFL.

The problem is, I'm pretty sure that's all this team is.

The offensive line is not close to being fixed. Orlando Franklin has been serviceable on the right side, but is not an Eric Winston world beater at the position. And unless they move Franklin inside, their interior line is a joke. Beadles looks like he's getting another year sucking it up at RG, and it looks like JD Walton will be sucking it up at C yet again, because I honestly don't think Phillip Blake unseats him. And if he does, we'll take 680 lbs of nose tackle and shove it up right up the rook's nose.

Which would mean a ton if they had a demonic run game to threaten defenses with -- which, ding ding ding, you guessed it: it's average. Willis McGahee was running like a wildman when Tebow was under center, but they couldn't move the ball against the Chiefs bottom-third run defense late in the year. The only reinforcements they've brought in? A scatback from San Diego State, Ronnie Hillman.

I've no doubt that teams will drop eight, giving the Donks a chance to run better, but it's nothing a stout defensive line and a fast linebacker corps can't rectify.

Their defensive line continues to underwhelm me up the middle -- I like what they have coming off the edges, but I think you can run right at Dumervil and Ayers (I regard Miller as the real deal). I've never been a big DJ Williams fan, just plays too much like Derrick Johnson from the Vermeil days for me to get too excited about.

Their secondary has some talent. Bailey is an All Pro in his twilight years, and I love that safety they drafted from UCLA last year. But Porter has spent the past year or two getting his ass handed to him in New Orleans, and their rookie corner is coming off a devastating injury and is going to take a year or two to develop anyway.

The more things change, the more they stay the same... the Broncos are looking a lot now like the Colts did in the latter Manning years: all pass game with an average run game, with a shit defense apart from two passrushers.

It was a successful strategy in Indianapolis, when the run game was better. The offensive line was better. The defense was better.

And the quarterback was younger, stronger, not a year out of football, one hit away from being sidelined.

In which case, we'll either see a lanky-ass rookie with a Tebow-style delivery, or Caleb Hanie, who we beat in 2011 with Tyler Palko under center.

Sorry folks, don't see it.

San Diego or Kansas City make a ton more sense as division winners.

Lol. Bowser beat me to the punch. I was going to be a real sarcastic bitch and post a picture and everything. It was going to be glorious.

Ah, well. May as well do it anyway.

Hey Knowmo, let's ask this WR what it's like to play at a university that doesn't let WR talent shine

Duh. Derrick Thomas went to Alabama. Chan wasn't anywhere close when he was playing.

Again, Gailey got fired before DT ever got to play for him. The coach that replaced Gailey at GT runs the ball 80% of the time.

in all fairness (to be an asshole to chiefs fans as well)....it's your, not you're.

**RealSNR** · 05-02-2012, 11:13 PM

What do you guys think of TD this year? He's come a long way since being the special teams bitch CB in 2009. The dude can now legitimately back up for one of our starters.

TD's got a lot going for him. He's a pretty potent corner. Really glad we have him around.

It's not like a came up with DT, the coaches and players all call him that. Plus typing out Demaryius Thomas isn't as easy as just putting DT in there.

**RealSNR** · 05-02-2012, 11:21 PM

TD LOVE THREAD!

SPREAD IT, GUYS!

REALLY GOOD TO HAVE TD AS A CHIEF

I'm not terribly worried about it. the mods, as a whole, are pretty laissez-faire in most circumstances. for what it's worth, I obviously don't wish for his family to be molested by anybody, regardless of ethnicity or race.

enough of this shit though. back to bronco bashing.
