I was making a mountain out of a mole hill with Scheffler. Back listed with the TE's but still 3rd. I know I am a drama queen:

Ha! Ha! :bash: Life is good, Apa!

Shoulda listened to NPR!
:thought:

[theAPAOps5]

I refuse to listen to NPR unless car talk is on. But I will listen to Need A Pass Rush way more often! ;D

[telluride]

Someone figure out how young a team we are. Our starters have to be among the youngest in the league.

Looks like Burger Bill (version e.s.p.n.) anticipated your curiousity...




The Chiefs have 33 players who are in their third year or less and 14 rookies. Denver is going young, too. It has 24 players in their third season or less.

[BlaK-Argentina]

I like this team. I really like it.

I'm hoping Ekuban has something left in him and can beat out Engelberger until one of the young guys steps up.

[manchambo]

Jebus but Crowder has dropped off. He's actually behind Moss. I'm not sure I couldn't beat Moss out.

[Borks147]

So is Lowry being brought in to be an FS or SS. The scout report indicate he could do either.

[Needa Pass Rush]

We have a young team that should get better as the year goes on and they learn to trust each others play. If we can find a way to avoid the injury bug we could find our way back to the playoffs! WooHoooo! :)

[socalorado]

So is Lowry being brought in to be an FS or SS. The scout report indicate he could do either.

I would think he would be better suited to play FS in DEN, but who knows.

[Spider]

I like Hillis at FB ..... still not sure about the T.E. ........ hope I ma wrong

[watermock]

They say he's better at zone. FS

Yuk! Another year with either all out blitzes or no pressure on the QB at all.

[Prodigal19]

other than dropping off the cut players this still hasn't really been updated since before the last preseason game.

[Los Broncos]

Yuk! Another year with either all out blitzes or no pressure on the QB at all.

Why do they even keep him?

[Kaylore]

That's interesting that Larsen's listed as a fullback on the roster.

[Popps]

Why do they even keep him?

No one can figure it out... outside of the speculation that he's a good practice-player.

I've got no problem with him in a reserve role, but as a starter he's a disaster.

People are tired of me b****ing about it, but he's half of our DE tandem, and should really be generating half of the pass-rush on a regular basis.

He piles up decent clean-up stats as far as tackles, but if you watch him on a given play... he's absolutely pushed to the ground like a pop-warner player if they run right at him. He's stalemated on almost every play.

Honestly, I can't imagine there's a less dynamic starter in the league.

He's had two sacks in THREE SEAONS, much of that as a starter.

Yeah except it also lists Hillis as starting FB and other details we have been discussing but yeah I guess nothings really changed.

Come on Popps! This guy is the HARDEST worker on the team and that right there should make him a starter since we need good work ethic examples. Who cares if all that hard work goes into spinning your wheels and accomplishing nothing other than a lot of clean up tackles down the field from time to time. Who cares if he can't rush the passer without any pass rush move other than the balked 10 second bull rush.

Popps you are completely out of line and just have hate for the guy because this guy completely works his tail off and is the hardest worker on the team. :D

[chanesaw]

I see no mention of Pears.

[Inkana7]

ZOMG! Scheffler is 2nd string!

[theAPAOps5]

ZOMG! Scheffler is 2nd string!

The mind game worked! See I knew Scheffler just had to get his hands on some pictures!!!!!!!!!!!! 8')

[no-pseudo-fan]

Hillis has been a monster lead blocker, and a weapon in the passing game. I am happy about the line up, but I do wish Scheff was higher on the depth chart.

[theAPAOps5]

The also reordered the LB depth. Which looks more like what it did in the games.

[CasinoRoyal]

Engleberger is officially one of Shannyz "guys"......

Dude starts regardless of how much he sucks.

[Ratboy]

Tony is ahead of Nate Jackson on the DC? I can sleep tonight!

Nate Jackson must have gotten hurt in practice today......

[kappys]

It really doesn't matter what kind of pass rush you fail to generate when opposing teams avg 5+ yards per rush. Other teams are going to try and run us into the ground this year - especially if the Denver Offense lives up to its potential.

Engelberger is about the only run stopper we have on that line. Hopefully Robertson and Thomas step up - if they can then it will allow us to use Engelberger more in short yardage situations only - but if that doesn't happen he's the only.

That looks much better. Woodyard is the backup Will. Winborn plays Sam. Scheffler is the number 2 and D-Jack will be the number one with Royal the number 2 and the slot machine as the third. Larsen still listed as a "FB" officially. I'm still not sure if that's just a way to stash him on the roster or if they really want to play with him there. I hope he can make some noise on special teams. I also hope Kern proves the Broncos right on the punting situation for once.
