Engleberger & Ekuban get new deals - The Orange Mane

Goobzilla · 02-28-2008, 07:18 PM

3 yrs. for Engleberger, 1 yr for Ekuban according to NFL Network.

Chris · 02-28-2008, 07:22 PM

why Engleberger why

ohiobronco2 · 02-28-2008, 07:25 PM

Alright. Hellooooooooooooooooooo Super Bowl. Seriously, Engleberger must have pictures of Shanahan Fonecoing a Shetland pony.

phibacka31 · 02-28-2008, 07:26 PM

Beat me to it

Atwater His Ass · 02-28-2008, 07:26 PM

Good news. Ekuban can mentor the young DE's one more year while providing solid contributions, and 'berger makes a good rotational guy; he won't be starting this year.

SonOfLe-loLang · 02-28-2008, 07:27 PM

that's fine

Dedhed · 02-28-2008, 07:27 PM

I'm glad Ekuban will be back. Hopefully he can stay healthy and help us out on the inside of the DL. He was effective inside as a rotational guy two years ago, and I think he could be nice inside option on passing downs. Engelberger is a good depth guy, but I think Crowder has the potential to move past him on the depth chart as soon as next season.

ICON · 02-28-2008, 07:29 PM

Good news !

Orange_Beard · 02-28-2008, 07:32 PM

Good news on Ekuban. I don't really care about the other guy, he is pretty forgetable.

PRBronco · 02-28-2008, 07:34 PM

Yay effort guys! Don't overlook the importance of having some hustle players

(let's try to mix some skill guys in there too though, k shanny?)

montrose · 02-28-2008, 07:34 PM

This probably sets our DE's for next year: Eb, Engelberger, Doom, Crowder and Moss. Hard to believe we'll bring in another one. I'm glad Eb decided to come back, especially on a one year deal. I've read several times that he's a real leader on the team.

SleepingTiger · 02-28-2008, 07:34 PM

I don't understand the hate on Engleberger. He was our only DE that last year that could do anything is run support. He may not have the numbers that everyone wants, but consistantly bought it every game.

Natedogg · 02-28-2008, 07:38 PM

Ecuban was a very big loss last season. He's underrated. He's also (one of our few) lockerroom leaders.

Agreed Engleberger shouldn't be a starter but as a rotational player he is valuable. It isn't his fault we didn't have anyone better to start over him this past year. Next year he will play the role he is suited for.

Some people just need to complain about everything.

clint7 · 02-28-2008, 07:45 PM

There's two "E's" to sign, now maybe another "E" will (Elam).

Los Broncos · 02-28-2008, 07:49 PM

Berger wont be starting, provides some depth.

Ekuban can help the younger guys out.

Dukes · 02-28-2008, 07:51 PM

Whats the latest one EE recovery? Anyone know?

Our D-Line wasn't very good and Engelberger is one of the easiest names to go after. In reality, most Bronco fans on the boards rarely mention that Dumervil is a liability against the run and provided no pass rush when it was sorely needed; Thomas and Crowder, while they have potential, were average at best in their rookie years; and McKinley, Peterson and Mallard were virtually invisible.

cutthemdown · 02-28-2008, 07:54 PM

I don't have a problem with these 2 vets getting a chance to compete. Just because Engleberger got a one yr deal doesn't mean he will make the team.

That's what we said last year yet both Engelberger and Ekuban were slotted to be starters until Ebeneezer's season ended abruptly.

broncofan2438 · 02-28-2008, 08:04 PM

Great for Ekuban

Ekuban got the 1 yr deal, Engelberger got 3 yrs.

RunSilentRunDeep · 02-28-2008, 08:10 PM

I like it as long as they're not getting more than $1.5M per year. Those guys probably fall out of the league if they're not Broncos.

Bronco Jamus · 02-28-2008, 08:16 PM

Sweet. Ekuban can play inside and outside and Engelberger is solid. I think he'll start depending on what happens the rest of the way. Ekuban was sorely missed last season, hopefully his achillies has healed up. we just need one more good DT that can plug holes. Maybe two. We have got the guys that can penetrate.

TheChamp24 · 02-28-2008, 08:19 PM

Hopefully Ekuban can recover.
Engelberger should not sniff starting, but he is decent as a backup.
