These opinions are only mine and not a reflection of the Orange Mane.
Forget the Draft. We got a great special teamer in Williams and a possible star in Clarett. Maybe.
Now to the core of the apple.
As much as people want to dance around it, everything starts with Jake. I said it was a sideways move, but....we paid his roster bonus, he's here for the next few years. For better or worse, he is our QB, no matter how much Taco whines about it. Jake is Jake. Freaking Deal with it. He's got good legs, isn't a dumbass, and tries hard. If we can keep him from throwing lefthanded passes to defensive linemen we will be fine.
RB: This area really concerns me. So many variables here, it's hard to sort out. I have zero confidence in TaterTot, I think his shoulder should of been put back together in the offseason. Clarett seems willing and bright eyes like he's ready to rumble. Or is that the lawyer in him at this point. We will see.
I think we will me Droughns, but have some depth here. I don't see a niche for Mike Anderson, and Q is a joke IMO. The great Dayne is still in the mix. I have never been so confused about the RB spot, but we have some horses. One will step up.
OL:
This is another mixed bag. Again we bring another rag tag bunch to the line. Lepsis was better than people realize, but not dominant. Hamilton was solid but not dominant. Nalen showed some wear and tear, but was solid. Neil is in a wheelchair, and Cooper filled in, but isn't the answer. Foster looked decent but not dominating at RT, but still has upside. Mock says leave him where he is and get a top notch LT in the draft next year. Leave well enough alone, that leads me to:
Linebacker!
This is where the condom meats the road, or something like that. Mock is very happy here. Gold was overpaid, but brings good effort. We know that Big Al is a team leader, DJ is a monster, and we have Predator, Pierce and Sykes in the wings. Our strongest suit. Not to mention our DC is a Backer coach. This won't be a problem at all.
DL:
Who the hell knows, if anyone does, let me know. It might be better than it looks right now. We will see if C. Brown can get out of his wheelchair. Regardless, Warren is a big ass to set down the point of attack and can be motivated by a 9 volt battery in his butt. (is that legal?)
Regardless, the line has a ton of talent. The obvious keys are if Pryce is as healthy as he says, and if C. Brown can come back from a bad foot injury. In any case, we have a good rotation. I'm more hopefull for the DL in quite a while. We better have a good one, because....:
Here comes our Secondary!
First, I think Champ is so overpaid, he's like a Michael Jackson guest. That said, he holds solid at his spot. I never was sold on Walls, and he is on the last year of his contract. Sam Brandon never even saw the field. Roc Alexander was toasted by Reggie Wayne. Lynch is old and slow. Kennedy is gone. We have 38 unproven corners on the roster.
Tefonahan tried to adress this whole mess, but it's still a mess. I don't know if Willie Nellies knee will get back, or the midget we drafted, or if Browner can cover a toaster oven. This is a huge problem, and give Shanahan some credit for trying to address it with Champ and a bunch of picks. I'm just not sure he has stopped the bleeding. Not till we can intercept Manning or put him on his back.
WR:
When I saw Rod Smith return a punt for a touchdown, I freaked out. What a Champion. That said, we get a litte runt corner who should, hopfully take that out of the mix.
Rod Smith is Ring of Fame IMO. Couple spats with his girlfriend, otherwise, he's the real soul of the Broncos. I think he has one or two left in him.
Lelie seems to be waking up and might start to understand that it's anyone ball, he has to still learn to fight for the ball, especially with the Jakester tossing it around. Go get the damn ball dawg. It's like asking Beezlebug to bring back his string.
All I think of Watts is he was a reach, a twig, and has bad hands. I have no use for him whatsoever. There, I said it.
Putz will continue to work hard and well, that's the Putz. I just hope his blocking is improving so he can stay on the field instead of House and the Great White Hape.
Coaching and Ownership:
It's hard to blame Bowlen. Yeah, he has to keep his trophy wife and team winning, but do you think he's hurting? I think he's great.
Teflonahan: Well, I dunno, he is starting to look more like Shula every day. However, I don't see anything about him to tell me that he isn't still pushing. Despite our stuggles, I still consider him a top 5 coach. We are spoiled honestly. I watch the HornHeads and Mike Tice. enough allready.
Coyer. Old School to the max. I wasn't a big fan, and he's stubborn, but knows what works. Resilient isn't the word for this guy, but he might need a frash mind next to him. Maybe Burnsie?
Kubiak: I can barely type. I think his red zone schemes are totally idiotic, he brings in cold players for his stupid formations, and is generally a nice guy. He needed to be fired years ago. He's hooked to the hip with Shanahan, but that is my opinion on him. He has literally NO CLUE how to adjust at halftime. Our red zone is horrific. Kubiak is a fine person, and decent coach, and I guess that he's just following orders from above, but damn dude, get a ****ing clue. There is more to life than Patrick Hape and the 5 wide. Why does our entire offense that marches down the field suddenly change into a rendition of the death dirge? I'm calling out names here like Stalin. I'm tired of it.
Maybe Big Mo Clarett can change things.
That's it for now. Thanks for putting me on ignore.
