The Denver Broncos on Wednesday placed linebacker Boss Bailey (left knee) and quarterback Patrick Ramsey (right elbow) on their reserve/injured list, Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced. Both injuries occurred during the Broncos' game at New England on Monday night.
The club also on Wednesday placed tackle Erik Pears (appendectomy) on its reserve/non-football illness list and announced that defensive tackle Steven Harris has been released from its practice squad.
Bailey, a sixth-year linebacker in his first season with the Broncos, started all seven games for Denver this year and ranks fourth on the team with 43 tackles (32 solo) while adding one fumble recovery. He joined the Broncos as an unrestricted free agent on March 6 after spending his first five professional seasons with Detroit.
Ramsey, a seventh-year quarterback in his second season with the Broncos, saw his only action of the year in Denver's game at New England on Monday, completing 2-of-3 passes for 19 yards. He joined the Broncos as a free agent on March 19, 2007, after seeing time with the Jets (2006) and Redskins (2002-05).
Pears, a third-year tackle in his third season with the Broncos, has been inactive for all seven games this season. A 16-game starter for Denver at right tackle in 2007, Pears entered the NFL with the Broncos as a college free agent from Colorado State University on May 12, 2005.

I have to admit I am stumped on this one
Is Pears eligible to return to the active roster this year?
Seriously...
7 games… 7 times injured for Boss Bailey. Amazing… The intensity of Champ… The durability of George Burns.

Where oh where are the roster moves I wish to hear
Safety Calvin Lowry has been traded to the Sasakatian Rough Riders for some maple syrup
Andre Hall has been traded to the Raiders for Michael Bush

No, I used to back when they had them on ESPN, but I haven't seen any for awhile

I thought there were two teams with the name rough riders

for a while there were two
the Ottawa Rough Riders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Ottawa team stopped playing the 90’s I think.
Be nice...the Broncos first QB came from the Rough Riders back in 1960....
Lowry isn’t good enough for them…send him to the Chefs. Lowry is young right? They’ll take him and give us Tony G straight up!

I would sell Lowry to an Arena Football league for some cotton candy and a box of cracker jacks

Expect this to be a busy two weeks.
The team will be in overdrive to fix some things I imagine. Stay tuned.

Thoughts on letting DT depth go?
I have liked Thomas’ development this season, but short one of our best LBs, I would think that they would hedge with Line depth…

Tough call.
I like how Thomas is coming along, but we still don’t know how well he will end up. He may turn out well, but he may not. DRob is not the dominator we might have hoped for either. As critical as the DTs are to our defense, I still hope we (for lack of a better term) “over invest” in the position in this next off season. At best we get the old Jags Henderson / Stroud group. At worst, we do much better than where we are at now.
My hopes for the LBs are rapidly diminishing. Boss is out (IR), and has proven the skeptics right (as you pointed out). I think we agree that Webster is a perhaps a bust, and even if we help things a little with K2, I doubt he’s the answer either. Folks get excited about some of our back-up LBs, but I don’t see them as much better options at this point.
I’m one of the few people sticking up for Bly, but I have to face a truth here too. If we aren’t going to give him the safety coverage to play a gambling style, and we aren’t going to give him a pass rush, he’s not much good to us. On the other hand, if we let him go, and continue to have an anemic pass rush and only one safety in the deeps, we’ll see what a true disaster looks like on the weakside during passes.

right
I was commenting on whether HT might thnk that cutting Harris was a reflection on Thomas’ development, while calling to notice the fact that losing a LB should make it a moot point and force a team to retain depth ont eh defenisve line to try and balance the effect of losing Boss.

Overdrive?
I am expecting very little. Steady as she goes as she slips below the ocean’s surface…. That kinda thing… Not that we’re sunk or anything, it’s just that at this point in the season there is very little we can do.
The real question is this… Will Boss Bailey injure himself cleaning out his locker now that he’s on IR?
J
It better be, for the coaches!
I frankly am not impressed with the staff so far this year. Actually, I’m PISSED> No results from week to week. I think that I’ll post a complaint on the coaching in the fans blog.

Did Boss start in chokeland?
I thought he was active but Winborn started in his place.

Hamza and Foxworth
I wish we had these guys back… Was Foxworth traded because his contract was up this year and the Bronx wanted some compensation? also, everyone on The Bronx has a groin injury so whats up with Hamza being cut back then for one or did I miss something? Paymah suchs!!
At least this might be the downfall of Ramsey
Who do you think we pick up for a backup QB???
if cutler went down who would play qb? mike leach?
Well it's Hackney for now
unless we pick up a veteran.

Hackney has been promoted
and signed to the active roster. he is now eliglible to run all the team drills and attend all teh meetings that everyone else can (there are limits for PS players).

Hell, with Ramsey out, I like our chances even if Cutler did go down.

I dont
I am a firm believer there are reasons players are back ups and on the PS for his entire career. If JC goes down so does the season

That goes without saying
but I think most people would rather trust whatever would be left of the season to anyone but Ramsey.
If they can pick up a veteran that can learn the system quickly (or we dumb it down like the Bretts had to do) that would be okay, but I’d rather have Hackney (who knows the system better than anyone coming in from the outside would.

Anything wrong with Josh Barrett?
I was just wondering if there was anything wrong with 6’2" 225 lb Josh Barrett and why he hasnt been activated from the practice squad yet? I would be willing to give anyone a shot at safety considering what we have had for the past few weeks.
Jrose....
Totally agree.
He cant do any worse. At least put him on special teams and let him hit someone.
I want Spencer Larsen in there as well.
Thanks!
