KC game and the retiring of DTs #58

Rockymountainway — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:53:52 -0000

This game with KC is becoming more and more of a trap game. We have always had problems playing in KC no matter how good or bad they seem to be. Add in the emotion of retiring the number of greatest player in the history of the franchise and this is getting to be a scary situation. I'm hoping McDaniels has the boys ready to go. If the team that played the first 6 games or the Giants shows up we should be well on our way to a 10-6 or 11-5 finish. On a side note it is about time the Chiefs honor #58 and it was a damn shame it took him as long as it did to make the HOF. R.I.P DT always loved watching you play!

Who does everyone have?

Who do you have in the top 3 fights on the UFC 100 card? Also how do they win?

Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir-Undisputed Heavyweight Title Fight

George St. Pierre vs. Thiago Alves- Welterweight Title Fight

Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping- #1 Middleweight Contender Fight

My picks are:

Dan Henderson defeats Michael Bisping via Uniamous Decision

Thiago Alves defeats George St. Pierre via (T)KO in the 3rd round

Frank Mir defeats Brock Lesnar via submission late in round 2

Looking forward to seeing everyone's picks

Beating a dead horse!!

Brandon Marshall career stats- 46 games 226 catches 2,899 yards 15 TDs

Roy Williams career stats- 70 games 281 catches 4082 yards 30 TDs

I've been reading a lot about the BMarsh situation as of late like the rest of us. Most people are saying that we should trade Brandon if someone offers a #1 for him. I do not believe a #1 is enough for a WR when on the field is a top 5 WR in the league. If the Lions got a #1 and a #3 I think that is the starting point. Brandon is right now better then Roy Williams will ever be. Brandon has the potential (dirty word) to be the best WR to have ever played the game. I think the best case for both parties is for Brandon to swallow a little pride show up at camp and prove to everyone he's growing up and his legal issues will become a thing of the past. If Brandon plays like he's capable and stays out of trouble off the field Mr. Bowlen will have no problem paying him. So if by some off chance Brandon Marshall were to read this my advice would be prove yourself then get paid!

Bronco top 3 picks

Rockymountainway — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:47:40 -0000

This is the way that the organization will justify the first three draft picks:

#12 Knowshon Moreno- Best back on the board. So we ended up drafting the best RB and probably at that point the best player left on the board at #12. I will say right now we have the OROY in this pick. He will not come off the field on 3rd down. He can catch out of the bakfield and pass block better then any back in this draft.

#18 Robert Ayers- Best rated OLB/DE on the board. I have heard comparisions for him to become the next DeMarcus Ware. Don't know about any of you, but that will be just fine with me. The guy ran the 100 meter at UT and the 4x100 that means speed. Go watch the highlight video of him on YouTube and you will see that he is an incredible athlete that plays in the backfield. He may not have gotten the numbers of sacks, but he always was putting pressure on the QB. Pressure means rushed throws and rushed throws mean turnovers. I heard Mel Kiper today say he will be the DROY.

#37 Alphonso Smith- Best rated CB on the board. Amazing athlete nicknamed "Prime". Go watch his highlight tape on YouTube as well he is incredible. Now trading the 1st round pick next year ends up working out just fine since this is the player taken. McDaniels said that we had 4 1st round picks over the course of the next 2 years. We just happened to get 3 of them this year. Only 9 players in CFB history had more picks then Prime in his career. He's a playmaker that is going to remind us all of D-Will (R.I.P).

I could continue on with McBath (playmaker) and Quinn (reach, but will turn into Dan Graham who was a 1st round pick)

Also Chris Baker from Hampton will become a big time NT at 6'2" 326lbs and athletic enough to play DE as well. He dominated at his college level and was so good at Penn St Joe Pa was trying to get the university to overlook his character concerns. Hopefully he's grown up and we don't have any of that.

Lets stop question McDaniels until he fails!!

Tony Scheffler situation

Rockymountainway — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 01:13:28 -0000

I'm curious to see what is going to happen with Scheffler. He's a great talent when on the field, but is hurt too much. He quietly demanded a trade after Cutler was dealt and is a client of the doucheba...er....Bus Cook. I believe some team out there will give us another 3rd round pick for him. Which has to happen to get him out of Denver so we have no lingering effects of McJaygate. Also Dan Graham has played exceptionally well in this new offense.

Bronco 2009 Mock Draft

Rockymountainway — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:37:26 -0000

Here is my wish list for the Broncos upcoming draft

1-12 Tyson Jackson DE LSU 6'5" 290lbs- Getting the best 3-4 end will help the transition to a new defense

1-18 Larry English OLB Northern Illinois 6'3" 255lbs- May be considered a slight reach at 18, but he is the best pass rushing LB in the draft

2-48 Ron Brace DT Boston College 6'3" 326lbs- Will be the big NT needed to run a successful 3-4

3-79 Ramses Barden WR Cal Poly SLO 6'6" 225lbs- An another huge WR to play opposite B-Marsh and allow Eddie Royal to play in the slot where he'll be most effective

3-84 Kraig Urbik OG Wisconsin 6'5" 328lbs- Its time to start looking for an eventual replacement for Ben Hamilton

4-114 Michael Hamlin S Clemson 6'2" 214lbs- A safety to be groomed by Clemson alum B-Dawk

5-149 Rhett Bomar QB Sam Houston St. 6'2" 225lbs- With 10 draft picks the Broncos will get a QB. Here is one that has talent and was humbled already in his career

6-185 DeAngelo Smith CB Cincinatti 5'11" 194lbs- CB that can be groomed by Champ Bailey for the future

7-225 Arian Foster RB Tennesse 6'1" 226lbs- If available in the 7th he'd be a steal to be a great insurance policy

7-235 Nick Reed LB Oregon 6'2" 255lbs-Would be a great 7th rounder who will excel on ST
