Seven Days of Clady -- Day #1

by Jeremy Bolander on Dec 3, 2008 6:00 AM MST in 2008 Season News Comment 15 comments

The final countdown to the end of the ProBowl voting begins today, and that means you only have 7 days left to make your vote count! Dec 9th at Noon EST is the deadline, and time is flying.

To help rally the votes I will be using this series of posts to give you reasons every day to get out and throw some votes up for one of the most impressive rookie campaigns we have had the pleasure of seeing. I know a lot of you have been trying to vote everyday, and to you I can only say Awesome! and Keep it up! I have been voting 10 times per day for a little while now, but I recently timed how long it took to vote twenty times on a DSL connection. It only took me five minutes, so I have decided to up the ante a bit. If you are up to the challenge, try the following: set a timer for ten minutes and vote as many times as you can in that ten minute time span. Try it again tomorrow, to see if you can beat your previous best, and know that it is all for a great cause!

On the First day of Clady...

Ryan Clady #78

Sacks Allowed: 0.5

Penalties Committed: 3 for 20 yards (illegal formation, holding, false start)

Has only allowed a half sack in 453 passing plays, the 4th most attempts in the league this year. (ARI 477, NO 472, PHI 471)

30% of Denvers rushing attempts have favored Clady's work on the line, and Denver ranks #1 and #2 in Adjusted Line yardage with their Left End and Left Tackle attacks, respectively, according to the statisticians at Football Outsiders.

9 of Clady's 17 opponents through 2008 have a combined 72 sacks among them. They have combined for all of half of one sack vs. Clady, however.

Put in my vote for Clady for the 14th time

I really hope he gets in…

OT…but man, looking at that close up pic you posted, I never realized just how much Clady looks like Lester Hayes!

Judge for yourself….

Sorry...

Believe me, I’m the last guy to compare our beloved Broncos with any Faider…..just saying is all. It’s just that the resemblance was uncanny.

I’ll end it there….my apologies again for any offense taken.

The best defense is a good defense!
And last week's young players. Yes!

REMEMBER NOT TO VOTE FOR ANY OTHER AFC TACKLE (except Harris)

If you vote for, say, Clady and Roos, then someone else votes Roos and not for Clady, then you have effectively given Roos two votes to Clady’s one. It would be better just not to vote than to do that.

Good point

I usually vote my first ballot Broncos (clady, Cutler Royal, marshall, prater, kern, etc.) and then the rest of my ballots I just click “vote again”, “tackles”, “clady”, “submit ballot”. After a vote or two I really get into rhythm. :)

Penelties

You look at those penalties and 2 of them are almost nullified. I remember rewinding and rewinding and rewinding his phantom holding call and not seeing it. Then the illegal formation call was not his fault, there was motion and he was left uncovered.

For a rookie, thrown into the LT spot, in one of the most pass happy offenses, giving up only .5 of a sack, the other half of which is shared with Ben Hamilton, and not have a bunch of false starts, holds, or even chop blocks is mind boggling to me. It really is very scary – without being biased I really think that Clady can be the elite Left Tackle of the NFL for the next several decades. He will be the measuring stick for all other tackles.
