Shanahan won't rest until he gets 3rd Ring/Player Analysis - The Orange Mane

dragondawg · 06-17-2007, 08:14 PM

Denver Broncos

With Mike Shanahan at the healm we can always look at this franchise as one of the best in the AFC in any given year. One thing is for sure, Shanahan never rests and he won’t rest until he gets his third ring. With that in mind, look for the Denver Broncos to remain competitive all season and feature a couple of great fantasy point producers.

Travis Henry: With the exception of a couple of ill-productive seasons (where he didn’t get many carries anyway), Henry has proven that he is capable of being in the upper echelon of NFL runners. Now playing with the franchise who has turned mediocrity into greatness, barring any type of injuries, look for Henry to produce career numbers as he becomes the new leader in this Denver ground attack. An easy 2nd round fantasy draft selection.

Jay Cutler: The verdict is still out on this 2nd year quarterback, but thanks to Henry and a couple of decent receiving options, I look for Cutler to have a productive season. If Cutler is a better quarterback than Jake Plummer, then look for Cutler to produce huge numbers on this historically potent offense. The Broncos open the season with Oakland and Buffalo and this may be enough to get Cutler’s confidence rolling for the season.

DEFENSE: There’s no question that this team has the best defensive backfield in the league, however, their numbers will suffer if this Broncos defensive line continues to have problems producing a decent pass rush. There isn’t one player on this entire roster who has ever recorded more than ten sacks in a season. However, this could all change with the addition of Jarvis Moss, the athletic rookie defensive end with speed, size, and explosiveness. If Moss and others produce, the Broncos defense is worthy of a high fantasy defensive draft selection.

Javon Walker: This is the position the Denver Broncos will struggle with the most this season unless Walker can show that he is a quality receiver in this league. Now that he’s 100% healthy and more familiar with the Broncos system, look for Walker (who has taken the role as the first receiver option), to have a remakable season. Not worthy of a high draft selection but remains a quality fantasy draft choice.

Rod Smith: Simply put, Smith is old, ailing, and leaning towards retirement. If he weren’t a veteran whom I have much respect for, an individual analysis would not exist. Let’s hope that Smith can recover from a hip injury that cost him his typical 1,000 yards and 7 touchdowns last season.

Daniel Graham: Graham could emerge as a top tight-end in this league if Cutler’s game stays consistent. One thing for sure is if Graham learns this system and Cutler trusts him to make plays, we could possibly speak of him in the same sentence as the other two great TE’s in the division. Doubtful, but in a fantasy league where the TE is mandatory, Graham is worthy of a selection.

Jason Elam: There is not much to say here other than; Elam is a starting kicker on any fantasy franchise. I look for more opportunities this season from Elam where he could rank in the top 5 in points. If your league allows for bonuses from this position, Elam has the range to make a difference.

Man. That is some horrible writing.

So another 8 years, or what?

Florida_Bronco · 06-17-2007, 08:31 PM

Right on cue...just like the little puppet he is.

Kaylore · 06-17-2007, 08:39 PM

We have a really good mix of veterans in their prime and young players. There are some older vets like, Rod, Lynch, Nalen and Elam - but most of those guys are going to still contribute and help mentor the youth. It's going to be a really good team this year.

CBF1 · 06-17-2007, 08:56 PM

This should be a real good season for us fans. I can not wait.

...don't you think he's proven this already?

I thought that was a strange one as well. In 2003 he had 41 catches 700+ yds and 9 tds, 2004 89 catches 1400 yds 12 td, 2005 he was injured and then last year he 69 catches 1098 and 8 tds to go along with his awesome rushing/reverse touchdown.

The guy has put some good numbers so far in his career. He is not a top echelon WR like Harrison or Holt but he is definitley a quality wr. Plus this year I look for his receptions and yards to go up this year with the addition of Henry at rb and Shanahan looking to air it out with Cutler at the helm.

I had to put two Bronco fans on ignore just because they kept quoting Bob. I think Now I'm set for a mostly Boob free forum.

I agree. Inexperience at QB is the only thing that will keep Denver from the playoffs.

We will win another very soon. Just need our QB to learn and progress a little and Hixon to stop saving lives and make football plays.

If some of our younger players like Scheffler, Foxworth, Pears, Kuper, Marshall step up look out because we could have a really strong team.

Best defensive backfield in the NFL? Does this writer realize the defensive backfield includes the safety position as well?

Inkana7 · 06-17-2007, 11:34 PM

Do you have some sort of crusade to convince the world of the suckiness of Denver's safeties? Every time you post, either here or on Broncomania, you say the same thing. You need to start playing a new tune my friend.

Our pass rush to improve thats for sure. And we need a third wr to step up.

Graham and Scheffler are our third wide receivers. I'm not worried about that.
