I saw this too, and decided not to post it because it seemed so asinine. Apart from the kicking game, I see the Broncos as having few, if any, needs. We’ve discussed it all until we’ve been blue and orange in the face here on MHR, but it smacks of laziness when a national reporter who once covered the Broncos locally cannot acknowledge that Denver has filled the “holes” on the roster: DT (Robertson, Powell), LB (K2, Bailey), OL (Clady, Wiegmann aka The Wieg, Lichtensteiger aka Rod Steiger—he even looks like him a bit), WR (Jackson, Parker, Colbert), SAF (Manuel, McCree, Barrett), ST (Royal, and much of the draft), and competition at HB/FB (Hillis, Torain). Sure, it was very quietly done but the Broncos addressed nearly everything. Williamson might not like how they were filled (how else to explain his comments?), but they were indeed slotted, and we won’t know how successful this reloading season was until the ‘08 Broncos take the field and play some games; to say anything else is getting paid to write opinion, not journalistic commentary. So, BW, you only got 29 words? Let me show you how it’s done:

Broncos 7-9-0: Denver quietly filled roster holes in an off-season strategy change, netting under-the-radar veterans rather than high-priced free agents. With a comparatively weak schedule, they could surprise if it clicks.

Heh. Easy peasy. This might be worth a bump to the front page, Guru. I’d love to read other MHRer’s 29 words on the upcoming season.

This is a good way to stay under the radar for a few weeks.

is seriously a moron.
