It was the fourth game that Selvin stepped forward...

I don’t think we should cut Ramsey—unless tonight is really fun.

Shanahan already said if Hackney throws 400 yards he will not take Ramsey’s spot

Interesting tid-bit

Several Broncos who will not play had a field goal kicking competition. Jay Cutler and Casey Wiegmann both nailed 40-yarders, while Ryan Clady missed. Jay then backed it up to 45, and he boomed it nice and straight, but it fell just a few feet short.

thanks for the justin

does the fact that they show commercials make it more likely to last? I mean the stations are essentially broadening their market for free.

Cutler

Interesting tidbit – Cutler was recruited to Vanderbilt by Jeff Rutledge, the Arizona quarterback coach.

I know most of the starter or all are not playing

so I am hoping for an injury-free game so we can get ready to squash the Faiders.
