Why is John Engelberger still on this team? - The Orange Mane

Clockwork Orange · 09-11-2006, 02:19 PM

Seriously, can anyone remember him doing anything in his tenure with the Broncos? Anything at all? He seems like a hard worker, but he just doesn't make any plays whatsoever.

GonzoLays · 09-11-2006, 02:28 PM

Quota?

rbackfactory80 · 09-11-2006, 02:35 PM

I would prefer a big bruising Rb thats for sure.

loborugger · 09-11-2006, 02:36 PM

I think we got him for free, right. Traded to SF for Middlebrooks and then got him back? Maybe I am wrong. I think he is a spell linemen, when the starters need a break.

That and he fills out the quota for having 1 white dude on the line.

HA

freak6 · 09-11-2006, 02:42 PM

He made a nice tackle yesterday.

Whatever happened to Maa Tanuvasa, that dude was fun to watch. We need another Maa.

Not exactly free considering he counts for approx $1 million in cap space.

We thought we had when Mario Fatafehi landed in Denver but his tenure was another short vacation to the Rocky Mountains.

You can't put a price on a guy who does all the community service and kid's hospital show ups the big stars won't do.

BigAl56 · 09-11-2006, 03:34 PM

Engleberger is just another one of our worthless pass rushers. Good point above about cobbs. i'm tired of these finess backs that get 2-3 yards carry after carry then finally break off a long one. I prefer the mike anderson, reuben droughns back where we can hand off 3 times in a row and pick up a first down.

Two of them recorded sacks yesterday. They're doing just fine, thanks.

Garcia Bronco · 09-11-2006, 03:53 PM

Cause he's a Hokie...and Shanahan knows the rules

WABronco · 09-11-2006, 04:00 PM

Just look at our depth chart...we don't have enough bodies.

I think we all expected Dumervil to be in the rotation, but he was de-activated.

Our DE depth blows. Kenard Lang is the only legit player, frankly. Engelberger is just a size-player, Chukwurah is an absolute zero as a defensive lineman (as he is just about everywhere else on the football field)...we're stuck with a 3 end rotation.

We need Dumervil to step up, for the sake of keeping our starters fresh as well as just getting some talent on the field.

We should've signed some depth guys, regardless of our current situation and hindsight and all that ****...

Garcia Bronco · 09-11-2006, 04:04 PM

We should have drafted Daryl Tapp

Garcia Bronco · 09-11-2006, 04:07 PM

Look crazy people....we can't have pro bowl players at every position 3 players deep

ludo21 · 09-11-2006, 04:10 PM

our DL isnt very good, they will continue to be bad until we spend some money on it.

Next year will be the year of DL in the draft (or so i hope)

Who's saying that? I'm saying we need better depth. Our current depth (outside of the top 3) doesn't deserve to be on a 53 man NFL roster. I'm talking about guys like Jared DeVries, ND Kalu, Tyoka Jackson, Juqua Thomas...not starters, but players who definitely have more to offer than what we currently have.

Why is he on the team

Shanny should cut him and bring back Hape!!

part of it is scheme too....how often do you think Kalu drops into coverage?

Florida_Bronco · 09-11-2006, 07:17 PM

Engleberger was pretty solid in San Fran, but he hasn't seen much playing time in Denver.
