At least Marshall is getting healthy. See here
Ryan Torain and Tony Scheffler could be sleepers for all you fantasy football folks. As long as they get wins for the Broncos, that's all that matters to me. See here
Looks like former Bronco David Kircus signed with the Miami Dolphins. At least they have Subway there if it doesn't work out. See here
AFC West
Well it looks like Ronald Curry is back to health for the conquered fader nation. See here

Too much...
is being made about Marshall and his 100 catch prediction. Some have even lumped it in with Selvin Young’s “prediction” of 2000 yards (which was a goal rather than a prediction). I don’t think that it is far fetched for him to catch 100 balls. Matter of fact, it’s fairly likely that he’ll have another 100 catch season barring any kind of setback.
What people are dismissing is what Marshall said at the end of his interview. Watch and take note:
The interview is posted here on the Broncos official site.
Seems the selfless attitude is catching on. I like what I see.
“With our offense and our coaches, you know, the sky’s the limit for any of us receivers on this team. So I just hope that we can put something together like the Patriots did last year as far as offensive chemistry. You got guys like Wes Welker, Stallworth and Moss, and Ben Watson at Tight End doing some great things contributing to the team. It’s not a selfish thing. I don’t want a hundred balls to myself. Which (I mean) I do, but I want the ball spread out, too, so it’ll make the team better.”

John Lynch
For their last minicamp session Thursday, the Broncos practiced without helmets — and it wound up hurting John Lynch as the veteran safety emerged from a pileup with a bloody nose. In a clear sign the 16-year pro isn’t taking his starting spot for granted, Lynch stuffed large wads of tissue up his nostrils and returned a few snaps later. He said his nose may or may not be broken and he may or may not seek a definitive prognosis.
What a stud. I’m telling you guys, John Lynch will be our starting safety in 2008. He has the never say die mentality that is needed on this defense right now. I don’t care how old he is. It’s like say we should have started Bubby Brister in 98 because he had a better QB percentage and Elway was too old to be effective anymore. Puhlease!

This is reminding of 97
In a sense. They were hungry after the debacle to the Jags. They are hungry and focused. Have good players, and good people. Now just look at this. in 1997 denver cut a prima donna wr, Anothony Miller who was complaining about not getting the ball enough, this year it was that peice of . . . Walker. Have a great QB in JC, and a hungry rb in SY, (BTW who is physically similar to TD) and a revamped defense that is just gonna be a good defense. The constant between the 2 team is the head coach and an ageing veteran/team leader from Stanford. I believe this will be a good year

I just dont recall our guys predicting 100 catch seasons, 2000 yard rushing or mega interceptions...
in 1997.

Whats wrong
with having a goal. BTW didnt Marshall have 100 receptions last year (if thats who you are refering to). I dont see a problem with Young saying his GOAL was 2000. He never said he will get 2000k. That is a big difference. WHo BTW predicted mega pick season? If its Bly we all know that wont happen. If it was Champ that seems out of character, but I would not put it past him

I am with mdierk I guess...I'd rather have them both get no where near their goals if
it meant a 13-3 record. lol I want wins not lofty goals. Why aren’t they talking about winning the division or doing some damage in the playoffs?? All I hear is, my goal is 2000 yards…or 100 receptions. In 1997 the goal was stated over and over again…don’t count us out. We’re angry. We’re hungry. All the talk was about redemption and winning. This year’s talk is all about ME goals.

I look at this way
If they achieve these goals, for one that means Young is healthy all year, second the runnign game is back. Plus wasnt Youngs statement in a Texas paper? I maybe nitpicking here, but in this day and age these players get posed these types of questions and sometimes they are just to honest. It is (IMO) better for him to say his goal is 2000, unlike when Steven Jackson said he was gonna get 2000 in 2006 and didnt come close. But in the big picture I am with you guys I want wins over records.

I hear ya.
I feel the same way Zappa. Goals are nice and all, however the players should be talking more about getting back to the playoffs more than what their goals are. Now if they get some personal goals along the way then I’ll be happy for them.
Oh and by the way…...I love the quote underneath you post.
