Poe has played through way worse.

Ok that's a really easy statement to make, can you back it up with actual pertinent facts, and not some anecdotal I played High School football with a bad hip bullshit?

Research hip injuries and then question the long road they took putting him on IR. I'll agree to disagree. He should have been out there IMO. His injury didn't even require surgery. It's not like he was an 85 year old lady who fell in a bathtub. It was a bruised hip or a hip pointer.

I suppose you're right, we'll agree to disagree. I just don't think we have enough information to say what should have happened.

Depends on the hip injury.

The name Box Jackson ring a bell??

How about Priest Holmes?

Ok technically he didn't "come back", but he did play one game through the injury, and THEN he was placed on IR. I know for a fact the first week he showed up on the injury report with a "hip" he played. It wasn't till after that game that he was placed on IR. So, he did in fact play hurt

Also, how the **** do you know how long it should have taken him to heal? They never actually announced the extent of the injury, so again I'm calling bullshit.

< Let him go. Draft midround space eater. Gain cap room. Gain a third round pick.

I researched hip injuries. This is stupid and it's time to move on. Don't get me wrong, I like Howard. I just think Poe is much more valuable and worthy of a contract.

Let's consider this for a second. When the Broncos defense turned into a monster in 2015, they were doing it with Malik Jackson and Derek Wolfe on the interior. That's a really nice duo, but I think that you can argue that a Chris Jones/Allen Bailey combo is just as good or better.

Jeeze, I wish our defense could turn the corner like that. It would be our only hope to go the distance in 2017.

Shut yo mouth! Alex is going to take us to the promise land! He might actually average 1 touchdown a game this year!

Mitchell's not as good as Talib and Houston's not as reliable as Miller.

A lot of the rest of that defense can go nose to nose with the Bronco's elite version, but when our elite playmaker can't get on the field and they have a #2 CB that's on par with our #1 guy (I hate it, but Harris and Talib are really goddamn good), that's a pretty obvious distinction between the respective squads.

I was just thinking the exact same things when I posted that. But, I like our safeties better. We need Mitchell to pick up where he left off, and the Chiefs would be wise to invest in corner in some way this offseason because we are an injury away from being completely trashed at the position.

We all know the deal with Houston. I don't question his ability to do what Miller can do, but will he be on the field to do it? We also need Ford to come out hungry and performing again, which he's got millions of reasons to do so as he tries to earn a huge contract.

Not to mention they have a round 1 pick playing Nickel because of those 2 in Roby, who is flipping outstanding. The Broncos secondary is A+, best in the NFL and its not close.

All the more reason to be looking hard at CB in the 2nd or 3rd round. We could very well find a day one starter, someone to compete for a starting job if nothing else and quality depth.

We have much better safeties and Dline
