McCray practiced today for the first time since first week of Aug. May be too late OSL is not a big need on this team.

A list of all cuts from teams that made them today http://t.co/KCE6RYaiBN

Yup, I don't see u carrying 5 OLBs, but McCray is a good one and I can see him on the PS. Tough decisions for sure, but with Ware, Miller,Ray, and Barrett, I don't see a spot for him. Same with Barrow and Nelson, being behind Trevaithan, Marshall, Davis, and Johnson

Barrow played olb mostly in College They moved him around but mostly his big plays came outside. This being a new staff I don't know how many they keep at ant one position. I guess the best way to tell is go back to when Kub was in Texas or when Wade was in Dallas. Do you cut a draft pick of John Elway after 1 year. Keep him so John doesn't look so bad or should I say worse. Is Elway making the cuts with Kub? or does he have complete control of his team. Guess we will be able to make those cuts better next season when we get the answers from the cut coming. I will be a fan at the end of the day.

The biggest benefit of having a deep team like ours is having the freedom to make last min deals during the cut weeks. If Vic thinks there is something cooking, its cooking.

I can see us making a mid sized move. Maybe a little bigger than this: #broncos have traded reserve tackle Chris Clark to texans per NFL source - Vic. But perhaps a package style deal to get an above avg O lineman.

Late round draft picks are okay but getting something proven in return is better. Realistically, when you go below the 4th or 5th round the success stories are few and far between.

Von Miller is amazing (To avoid wasting anyone's time this note will be implied from here on out)
I am not feeling the piss colored 50 yard lines. Looks sloppy and forced.
The new jerseys look significantly silkier than last year (possible competitive advantage).
Talib's "body slam" looked like a text book response to Bush's sad college hurdle to me. :D
I was told we were running a "3-4" but every defensive front looked different to me.
I wa$ a little di$$apointed with DT'$ wait-for-the-ball-to-come-to-me effort ($hould be attacking).
*Although the DT bubble $creen $taple play made me $mile.
To give props where they are due: the 49ers' Bowman was absolutely everywhere.
Norwood stole the show last night. I'd like to try him in the vacant returnman position.
Buckle up for the Mcmanus experiment. It's going to be a hell of a ride. :?
Standard heroes: CJ, the D line, Norwood, and the 9er who intentionly fumbeled a pick.
If this defense keeps playing at this level we may need to revert back to the old 'D' helmets.
Best fan T shirt: "Von Miller food bank"

Missed you last week SID. Good takes. Our two biggest question marks(O-line and D-line) seem to be working out nicely. Got my 54 Marshall white jersey the other day. Have a 58 Miller orange one already. My next one just might be a blue Kilgo, I really like that cat. I'm still leaning towards a blue 97 Malik jersey right now. He personifies nasty for this D.


I am drinking the Kilgo Kooaid too. Hopefully he can keep climbing the ladder. I still have my Champ Bailey jersey but I am thinking about getting a Harris Jersey. I am still not feeling the O line right now but all my concerns about the D line are completely resolved. Liking the attitude up the gut so far (oh and having all stars all around them is nice too).

Agreed, we need to roll the dice on a trade if we can. I get that we are running a plain Jane offense but our O line is getting over powered. Old man Manning probably needs to trust more than 50% of his line to get him to the post season. I like the Evans Mathis move but we may need one more. Or maybe I am just being nervous.

I remember joking that he would sprain a pinkie and be out for a game when he was with us. It was a joke but it appears this is not far from that. Dude is just a prima dona. Don't miss him much. Jacksonville's problem now. And how is Decker doing? Ha... So many people think they are worth more than they are. They got the money but will squirm in mediocrity for a good long time.

Good riddance.

Elway has been pretty accurate about who to keep here for the big bucks and who to let seek greener pastures. The one glaring exception was the fax pas (see what I did there with faux pas) with Elvis. Look at what he ended up with after letting heavy contributors walk rather than pay the perceived market price. Woodyard- Marshall, Decker-Sanders, J Thomas- Daniels, Franklin-Mathis, Pot Rosat-Kilgo. While the jury may still be out on the last three, I'm happy about the moves. And without having the numbers in front of me, I'm guessing he saved somewhere in the neighborhood of a Gazillion dollars on those five alone. If I'm not mistaken, That was more than enough to pay for Manning, DT, Ware, Talib, Harris Jr, Ward, Sanders, and enough left over to feed Miller. John hss been pretty damn good with the purse string and still keeping the shed well tooled.

The best thing John did was dump the worthless coaching staff. Fox had no balls. And Del Rio's balls had a Raider tattoo on them from his childhood. I don't mind losing a game, but do your job at least.

Yes Indeed kicks! he said it again best in his last presser. Fox and his staff did a good job in the post mcdandelion era, they got this team winning again. But it was time to put in a staff that will be at it's best and winning when it counts. I'll see if I can find it and post it. His purse is a lovely little number that he wears close to his vest. yes he wears a fucking vest too, but only when he carries the purse. :)

The broncos are shopping Ball and I'm not on page with that. Yes he has dropped down the depth chart but he is still the best runner on the team. Yes CJ has done well But ball has to get back strong. He still has to know that his injuries are behind him. That was the first time he was ever injured in his career. I hope they keep him but if not I wish him well. Seem to me the team must be asking too much for him other teams must think. He was a 2nd round pick and will be worth it when his head gets right
Kubiak just announced that Ball and Bibbs will get most of the carries in the Game. I guess the winner stays

Ball is running more like a beach ball than a bowling ball right now, but I agree that it seems a little premature to give up on him already. He looked great in a limited role his rookie year. He is getting dominated by Anderson and Hillman now, but Hillman clearly can't carry a full load and Anderson's "won't give an inch" attitude is going to expose him to some risky hits. Denver will likely need a 3rd/4th stringer to take some crucial snaps this year, and I want Ball to have that chance to figure it out.

Our system has always produced good RB's. Half of them don't do as well when they leave. My big regret is not seeing what could have become of TD. He could have been the best ever. We will never know. He's still da man though. For back to back reasons.

Same here, the Dumervil thing is still a sore subject for me. Thomas and Decker got greedy and followed the money instead of the wins. When you're already making that much there's nothing wrong with taking a cut and doing it for the trophies.
