A 6’3″ 300 pounder out of Virginia Tech, Carlton is a run-stopper who was projected for late 4th round; so at the middle of the 5th round, we may have gotten great value here. He needs to work on his technique and he is a mediocre, at best, pass-rusher so he is the sort who […]
Ryan Torain played at Arizona state. He is not an outside runner, but he excels between the tackles. He’s mediocre at best in receiving, but he is exactly the kind of runner that we need to pair with Selvin Young: Tough, between the tackles. He compares favorable to Mike Anderson, who we all know had […]
The Denver Broncos draft Center Kory Lichtensteiger out of Bowling Green with the 9th pick in the 4th round of the 2008 NFL Draft.. Lichtensteiger started his career at Bowling Green as a guard and then shifted to the middle. He has been used mostly in a shotgun formation, and will probably be shifted back […]
I’m going to be the first to admit that I’m just not enough up to speed on everything to even try to do a mock draft; once you get past the second round, everyone is just a bunch of names and it’s hard to get real information on these guys. I really respect you guys […]
According to the Denver Post, a deal for Darrell Jackson is imminent, possibly even being signed today. Like most everyone else, the Samie Parker signing doesn’t do much for me. To be sure, his numbers were somewhat depressed by the abyss that was KC’s offense last season, but they’ve had a long history of having […]
According to the Denver Post, we narrowly dodged a bullet and Lynch agreed to take a significant pay cut to play one more year and not have to move his family. “I slept right through my phone ringing,” Lynch said. “Had I answered the phone, I would have told him, ‘Thanks for the four years […]
Javon Walker made a few comments at the end of the season that escalated from one media pundit to another and the rumor that the Broncos will cut Walker continue to circulate. Generally, these rumors are reported with very little actual substance, leading the reader to wonder if the journalist involved has any real information, […]
Champ Bailey was only named to second team all-pro by the AP, and Dr. Z dissed him for his All-pro team as well. Ordinarily I like Dr. Z a lot, but ol’ Z is running on a different set of stats than I like. As I’ve said before, I’m a big fan of Football Outsiders; […]
It was really hard to watch a defense that performed well throughout the first half of the game just die in the fourth quarter. And this keeps happening! All of a sudden any ol’ gramma could run for 8 yards on that line, and that was with Lynch up on the line. Their O-line mauled […]
Dominique Foxworth hit it exactly with this quote in his presser: “We’re better than it has looked at times, but we’re still learning,” Foxworth said. “The key for us is not to make mistakes. We’re not good enough to make mistakes and make up for them. But we’re getting there.” (via The Denver Post)
