no, 10 team, my RB's blow though. Beanie Wells, Mendenhall & the back up is David Wilson. but i can start both TE's so that makes up for it.

well...you could make a case that most hand timed "times" are .15-.2 off, pretty consistently. if you put those guys in a true electronic timer their times go up and arent nearly as marketable.

Gronk and graham on the same team is lolful, hope this league isnt for money. Pathetic

trade bait. my RB's are weak and two of the starting QB's in the league are Schaub and Vick. someone is likely to get hurt and give me a RB for a QB.

Look at Zane Beadles downfield getting a block that springs DT. Thats the most impressive thing I have ever seen from him. Just saying that is a hustling guard that gets that far into the second level. Hell thats like the 3rd level.

Getting that deep that fast is impressive. I'm getting more excited this kid will turn out to be pretty damned good especially with better coaching from this staff.

Bey Bey made a lot of plays last night. He'll learn to hold on tight when going over the middle in future.

Broncos: Rod Smith's advice helped send Demaryius Thomas on a roll

Rod Smith goes into the Broncos' Ring of Fame on Sunday for his accomplishments from 1994-2008, in which he became the Broncos' all-time leader in receptions, receiving yardage and touchdowns.

But his contributions didn't end there, as it turned out. After his old quarterback, John Elway, returned to the team as an executive vice president in January 2011, Smith was invited back to speak with the current Broncos and be an unofficial consultant.

During one of his visits to Broncos headquarters last November, he walked into the wide receivers' room to see a downcast group. The Broncos were winning -- they had won four games in succession with Tim Tebow at the controls -- but the run-centric offense had left the receivers with little to do but block.

"They were frustrated. They were hurt. They were catching two balls thrown to them a game, and they were frustrated," Smith recalled.

In the previous four games, when the Broncos went full-tilt into the zone-read option, Demaryius Thomas had caught just three passes for 66 yards, and Eric Decker had just seven catches for 146 yards. Three of Decker's receptions had gone for touchdowns.

But the Broncos were winning, so they put on a positive face for the public -- a guard the receivers let down when Smith walked into the room.

Smith, who broke into the league as an undrafted free agent on the Broncos' practice squad in 1994 and became the most prolific undrafted receiver in league history, wasn't going to stand for that.

"I said, 'Guys, that part, you don't control,'" Smith recalled. "'You control how you come out of the huddle, how you run your route. You control that. You control blocking in the run game.

"'I know it sucks. It sucks to be a receiver and not know if you're going to get the ball, ever. You never know. But what makes you a champion is when you go out there thinking it's coming to you anyway and you go out there and go to work."

The speech appeared to have a profound impact on Thomas, who has exploded in the nine games since then, averaging 5.3 receptions, 103.7 yards and 0.75 touchdowns per game. His per-game averages before them were 1.8 receptions, 17.9 yards and 0.19 touchdowns per game.

"Whether it helped out, I don't know, but his approach seemed different from that day forward," Smith said.

Five games....511 receiving yards. Imagine if he held on to every ball...600+ yards...

KipCorrington25 · 10-07-2012, 07:38 PM

So much natural talent and a lot of head scratching moments. I hope 5 or 6 years from now we're not saying "what if he had gotten his **** together?"

TonyR · 10-07-2012, 08:30 PM

That was a tought break on that fumble. Defender made a perfect play at the ball that DT didn't see coming.

He's going to get it together about the time he's a free agent.

I'd say he's already "got it together" He's fumbled a few times, its not like he's beating his mother Christ.
