He might be the most award winningest player to get cut this year too!

To be fair, I thought we got a steal when we drafted him, and he obviously has produced on the field. I really would love for him to come into training camp and dominate guys, but that didn't happen last year. Not even close. He got pushed all around and looked like he didn't even belong.

Nice to see, KC is sinking and our guys are winning awards!

Loving is what i got

The only award I care about him winning is the one earned by 52 other guys on this team...a roster spot. So far at least, he's the lone draft mistake. Hopefully he proves himself this year because it's probably his last shot.

I think you're all making a mistake to discount Eslinger. Time will tell...

TheSportsGuru · 06-21-2007, 02:40 PM

You know my feelings...

I think I made them very clear on MHR Radio last night....

greg....is that you?

SoDak Bronco · 06-21-2007, 04:01 PM

I don't think it is fair to call a guy a mistake. He was taken in the 6th round...He has done everything the coaches have asked, and technically is a solid player, he just needs to beef it up some. I think he will stick.

Bladerunner · 06-21-2007, 04:12 PM

There is no such thing as a 6th round draft bust....less than 10% end up playing in the league atfter 3-4 years...Eslinger may or may not make the Broncos roster, but it's not even the same thing as Foster getting his ass shipped off after blowing chunks for a few years.

Who knows, given enough time to develop, he may turn out solid in the big leagues after all. We've hung onto less promising dudes (yeah you Nate).

Killericon · 06-21-2007, 04:24 PM

I'll be rooting for him...I heard he beat Michelangelo's David in a staring contest.

you're talking out your ass

...as others have pointed out, sixth rounders arent busts or mistakes, especially after only one year. He has the technical skills to be a starting NFL center, and i'm sure the front office is well aware of taht. if need be he could be put on practice squad for a year, but i think he sticks after his successful offseason.

Greg Eslinger will be the next Denver center after Nalen retires. Mark it down.

My minnesota homeboy gets no love on here at all...none.

Hey Chris Myers, do you see the writing on the wall?

The college careers and first pro seasons of Tom Nalen and Greg Eslinger are eerle similar. Who knows what will happen from here on out with Eslinger, but I like his chances to be Ben Hamilton II in the very least.

HorseHead · 06-21-2007, 04:58 PM

Didn't Eslinger win an Outland Award? It's not like he blew in College, he just needs to eat alot of pasta....

Don't write the guy off....

Atlas · 06-21-2007, 05:13 PM

I don't see why all the negativity towards him. Both Hamilton and Lepsis played in NFLE. I think they turned out pretty good.

Our running back won co-offensive MVP. Besides, NFL Europe awards are a step up from high school football awards.

"Your," not "you're."

"You're" is a contraction of "You are."

Therefore, you were saying "you are team sucks balls."

See how stupid you sound?

Thats so weak.

Rascal · 06-21-2007, 05:40 PM

Hopefully he can continue in his development and be good enough next year to step in and not miss a beat when Nalen retires. The potential is there IMO, just needs a bit more experience and some tweaks (in addition to getting stronger). He's getting the experience in Europe right now (and last year) and can get a bit more refinement during the offseason. Tuten will make sure he develops the strength required.

Couldnt agree more. No way Myers makes the team over Eslinger.
