Seems to me that injury and Scheffler are synonymous. If Scheffler has had all this time to heal that foot and hasn’t, then will he ever be in form to play at a high level again?
The Broncos have their blocker with Graham, but Jackson needs to step up. I like Nate Jackson and think that he could be a real weapon with some coaching and an opportunity. This isn’t camp yet, but Jackson should sieze the chance and get ready to compete for the starting tight end spot. When camp is over will we be asking the same question as last year…..”Can the Broncos tight ends cut the Mustard, or do we still need him?”

For starters, this is my first comment and I just wanted to let everyone know how impressed I’ve been with the knowledge and in-depth coverage that is shown on this site both in the posts and the comments. My heart dropped when I read the first line of the post and then it sank further when I saw that it was Schef! He was fast becoming one of my favorite players to watch on the field, and now it seems (I hope that I’m wrong) that this is going to be something that will linger on all season, maybe even throughout his career and keep him from being the playmaker that I was coming to expect from him. I hope that its not as bad as it seems and he can get his foot healthy before the season. I just wonder now, if it will maybe have an impact on his confidence pushing off the line, even if he does make it back on the field. As for everything else in Bronco Land, I’m very excited about the upcoming season and can’t wait to see how our “Quest” plays out. I’m trying very hard not to get my expectations to high, but I find myself thinking this team as constructed now, is destined to do something special this year and for many years to come.

Glad you’re here. Everyone here is knowledgeable because they are drawing from their own experiences, their own passions for the game. Speak loud, speak proud, and remember we are all on the same side, wanting the same thing, regardless of what our personal beliefs are…..

I love the use of “The Quest” by the way. That immediately earns you points in my book!!!

for welcoming me. I know that Bronco fans are everywhere, and I have even seen quite a few down here in Florida and back in Missouri. But it is usually just in passing, so I don’t get to just sit back and talk Bronco Football with people that share my passion very often. With the exception of my brother and some other family that still live in Denver. People around here (all my friends and co-workers) seem to get tired of hearing me rant and rave about my favorite team. Which is fun in its own right, but I always felt like there was something missing. And I have found it here at MHR. Thanks again to everyone for making me feel at home, and a special thanks to TSG for making it all possible. Excellent work!!!

QB camp has started and that has gone a long way to pacify my hunger for some actual field action, because we get good reports on the daily activities from the Guru and the occasional picture on the Post or News websites. But I’m still counting down the days until we can actually SEE them out on the field. Even if they are not in pads yet, I just need to see the helmet with our logo on somebody (no-name new guy or an all pro, doesn’t matter) running around and I get all fired up. Its my understanding that no media is allowed at these OTA’s, so I was wondering if you guys knew when we will be able to get some actual video of the players in action..

Looks like the LT battle is between Clady and Pears. I give the edge to Clady. RT battle is between Kuper and Harris. I think Kuper was discussed as being moved to OT by Coach earlier in the reloading season, so that’s my bet right now. So it looks like:

LT – Clady LG – Hamilton OC – Nalen RG – Holland RT – Kuper

...with backups being Pears, Harris, Wiegmann, K-Lich.

I don’t know what to make of Scheff’s foot. As valuable as he is, he ought to be completely off of the foot and have the docs make a call on what has to be done for definitive treatment. Even if treatment and recovery is long term, I think he’s worth the investment. I just don’t want the guy pushed and ruined.

I love the depth at WR. We should be set at the position even if we suffer a few injuries.

I still don’t see Young as an every down RB (and it’s not an insult to be a specialist). At best I’m wrong and he is able to take the brunt of the carries. At worst, he’s going to be a better RB because of the improvements that he’s making.

Great job on the camp updates Guru! Lot’s of great nuggets in there. And welcome to BitW! Great to have you here!

for the Broncos. I’ve lived up in Chicago for the past 4 years, and I’ll tell you, they don’t take kindly to the other orange and blue. You can imagine the flack I got after the embarrasing ending at Soldier Field last year. Luckily, Denver and Chicago ended wth equal records (not so much lucky as sad, but I digress) it was easier to deal with than all the Packer-backers up there as well….Bly slips for one play, game over. Oh well, it comes with the territory

this year in SD. These clowns think that Denver is a just an irritation to them. I want a week 2 destruction. I want the Broncos to avenge the 41-3 game, with a friggin shut out. Or something real close. Plus how great would it be to see Lynch or someone just clean that girlie man Phyliss’ clock. I man I cant stand that douche

I know that Denver likes to run a fairly base 4-3, and that they often go to man coverage. I don’t know enough, though – can one of you give me some additional info? Lynch seems to line up as a fourth linebacker at times – is that right? Boss Bailey has mentioned that he will be looking to get set to go after the qb – how do we set that up? Anything else you could give me to round out a lot of our understanding of our D would be great. Thanks! Great site – it’s much appreciated.

...if I do say so myself. Click here.

I’m hoping that by the end of the pre-season (or by half time of the first regular game) I’ll be prepared to do a write-up on what system Slowik goes with.

Lynch does play in the box a lot, but not so much like a fourth linbacker (his assignments still look more like a SS, just in run support zones). And while Boss may get his share of blitzes (I see a blitz heavy scheme in either “Show Blitz” or “Zone Blitz”), I think he will man TEs more than blitzing or zoning. Just my suspicion.

Great question!

I was just returning to say that I’d found your great article at http://www.milehighreport.com/2008/2/16/44537/4738

:)

I’ll note that I have information – you clearly have knowledge. Thanks. I’ll look forward to your update.
