Mustard AND Pierce?

very interesting.

I’m going to take it less multiple TE sets and more true fullback with Hillis/Pitman? Or is Leach going to play some TE? :)

by poorboywilly on Aug 30, 2008 2:14 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Styg50 was right about Nate Jackson.

Shanny must be satisfied enough with his blocking ability to cut Mustard and Pierce.

Although, I think this is more indication of the depth they want to keep at other positions,
and more indication of the fact their offense is so geared toward the pass game now.

And they know Mustard will always be there on the street if they need him, and Pierce will go to the PS.

Will Barrett be

passing waivers and joining the PS?

What I think so far

Good:
Cutting Sapp- I’ve liked what I’ve seen from Hillis and this means that A.A. will most likely make the team.

Bad
Cutting D-Hack only scares me. We need another qb bad now. Let’s steal one from the bucs.

Hack is for the practice squad unless he happens to get picked up…then we should grab that Ariz. guy :)

by poorboywilly on Aug 30, 2008 2:17 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Which Arizona guy? Leinart or Morelli?

Leinart would be good for Broncos commercials, he is very photogenic. Morelli gives the pass defense opportunities to practice returning interceptions. Both QBs are very good options.

No surprises so far

I’m not surprised by any of the cuts so far – Sapp was my pick for surprise cut.

Of all the people cut/waived so far the only one i think should have made the 53 is Hackney (over Ramsey).

I like the idea of what Barret can become but the PS is the right place for him this year.

Hillis is the real test though

since he is a thoroughbred at the position with a pedigree in pass catching. If he can’t last I think Shanny gives up on the FB and goes straight to 3TE! :)

What options do you have in the UK for watching the NFL?

A few of the MHR faithful have found links for streaming, in case you don’t have good options for watching Denver games live.

by Arctic Bronco on Aug 30, 2008 4:46 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

and check out NFL.com

under “NFL Shop” they have a thing called gamepass, which gives you options for following either the NFL, a single team, or a single weekends worth of games. I don’t know if it is active yet, but it looks cool.

I have no idea what it costs, since they don’t list that, and it is only available to fans outside of the US.

With 8 annouced so far...

There should be 12 more cuts coming…

The Broncos were at 74 after the Holland trade, and Brandon Marshall will no count against the 53 man roster week 1, so that leaves 20 players that need to be moved.

Sirius, yesterday, announced possible trade of Gandy back to IND.

Apparently they’ve lost OGs and Gandy was a perfect fit because of his knowledge of their system.

Doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t just wait for him to be cut, though.

by Colinski on Aug 30, 2008 3:44 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

we can take a hard stance if we wanted

and trading Holland seems to back us up. It would be a bluff, but I think Indy might have to honor it.

Of course, this is Bill Polian we are talking about here. I f Shanny bluffs him, “Mastermind” may be too magnanimous of a title for Shanny.

Denver has three retired numbers

18 Frank Tripucka
44 Floyd Little
7 John Elway.

This team can’t keep retiring numbers or else they will have none left. I was thinking about that last night while watching #77 make a great tackle. Alzado and Meck came to mind immediately, but no, it was worn by Larry Birdine.
Not that he deserved that number, who else in the future could equal Alzado? Who could match Rod Smith’s numbers wearing #80? In the end, I just want to see a player honor and try to live up to a former great players number. No more retired numbers unless we develop a football legend like Elway again.

I think he was being an ass in 1979, Couldnt make up his mind if he wanted to box or play football. Then he got pissed when Gehrke traded him to Cleveland. I could have forgiven him, but he became a fader. So #77 for me Meck

I think Alzado got into deep $ trouble...

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY CUT THIS KID. IT IS A HUGE MISTAKE. HOW DO THEY CUT HIM AND KEEP RODERICK RODGERS. BARRETT IS 10 TIMES BETTER THEN RODGERS WILL EVER BE. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS KID WHEN HE GOT IN AND PLAYED. HE ALMOST TIPPED A PASS TO HIMSELF LAST NIGHT AGAINST THE CARDINALS. HE IS ALL OVER THE FIELD WHEN HE IS IN. THEY SHOULD HAVE WENT WITH MANUEL, MCREE, ABDULLAH AND BARRETT AT THE SAFETY. WITH ABDULLAH AND BARRETT BEING THE FUTURE. THEY WERE COMPARING THIS BARRETT KID TO THE LATE GREAT SEAN TAYLOR, THEY SAID HE WAS JUST AS PHYSICALLY GIFTED BUT NEEDED SOMEONE TO PUSH HIM TO FULL POTENTIAL.

rodgers has been playing gunner all preseason

and doing a good job. Barrett split time at gunner and was up and down, but he also got dinged once in each game. He is very rough, between the learning curve and the injuries, so I am sure this is a just a low-risk gamble to keep both players.

they must "waive"

a player or put him on waivers. Any other team can pick him up, but they must have an open 53-man-roster spot. If no team “claims” him off waivers, he may be placed on your practice squad.

"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."

by FlaBroncoFan on Aug 30, 2008 3:19 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

It is a 24 hour period where any team can claim a player

If multiple teams claim the player, he goes to the worst team of the bunch. The team that claims a player off of waivers assumes the current contract of that player.

Also, any player with more than 3 years (maybe 4) of NFL experience who is cut today does not have to go on waivers. He becomes a free agent immediately and can choose to sign with any team (there may be a restriction about resigning with the same team in less than 24 hours)

"Either way, I don’t see Sapp or Pittman making this team. It’s a numbers game from what I can tell. You figure with Young, Hall, Aldridge, and Torain there isn’t enough room for 7 HB/FBs. The only way I see both those guys on the team is if Denver cuts Aldridge and puts Torain on the PUP.

I don't think it is based on one game.

Hackney has looked good with the second team in practice all last year.

Either way, Hackney could keep us afloat for part of a game; Ramsey can’t. Nobody will help us through a full game or two.

clarifying PUP, and I'm still trying to figure it out

There were contradictory reports on PUP. Apparently, Torain has to go through (be included on the initial 53 man squad or pass though waivers) before he could be put on PUP. We can include a player in the mean time to take his place.

This means part of what I’d posted and part of what others had posted is correct. Please correct me if you think I’m wrong — anyone.

I am pretty sure that Torain cannot go on PUP

Since he passed the preseason physical and began practicing with the team. They were able to place Carlton Powell on PUP since his injury occurred during OTA’s before training camp.

by MattR on Aug 30, 2008 4:29 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

No PUP for Torain....

PUP can only be used by a player that NEVER PASSED HIS TRAINING CAMP PHYSICAL. Once you practice, PUP is out of the equation.

So he's just on the 53-man roster, then

That shows how highly Shanahan values him.

alridge

is alridge essentially out for the season, now?!

also, if martinez and russell got cut, are we keeping samie parker, and if so, why?

Parker was released several days ago

parker was cut earlier in the week before the AZ game.
he’s with the panthers or jags (one of the cats anyway).

Looks like Denver will go with

Stokely, Royal, D Jackson and Colbert for week 1 vs Oakland

looks like just 5 wr, then.

so torain counts against the 53, and can come back as soon as 6 weeks, and alridge doesn’t count and is done for the season?

by davecheffy on Aug 30, 2008 4:30 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

If he's not PUP

then he can come back as soon as he’s ready, if I’m not mistaken.

Just a lot of anxiousness (?)

to see who gets to stay, and who Denver could try to get via waivers or FA.

Alridge in on IR (out for season). Torain is protected, can return

The PUP would let us add another player for the interim, though. I guess.

by Colinski on Aug 30, 2008 4:36 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes

That’s what I’ve surmised. He counts against the 53 at the start but they should be able to bring him back this season.

Spock’s right, but his injury makes it lkelly they’ll put him on PUP because it’s about the same amount of time as his recovery.

by Colinski on Aug 30, 2008 4:33 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

The Broncos have no player that is eligible for the PUP list…

I thought they moved him when they announced the 5 cuts

The cuts were announced over two days, and they announced moving Powell to something at that point, which meant they had to cut one less guy — right? Remember?

by Colinski on Aug 30, 2008 4:42 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

it was a wording technicallity

he was moved to Injured reserve-PUP status, which is different from saying “injured reserve” status.

thx

My guess is now a LB to be cut after week 1.

DJ, Boss, Webster, Niko, Winborn, L Green, Woodyard and Larsen is too many

by MattR on Aug 30, 2008 4:42 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

really interesting

Do you think Larsen played his way on the team?

by Colinski on Aug 30, 2008 4:48 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

i suppose technically yes

if his ruptured achilles were to heal

by poorboywilly on Aug 30, 2008 4:43 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thre is that. But technically specaking, he can.

After week 6 a player on PUP can begin practicing with the team. The team has three weeks to decide if they want to activate teh player to the 53 man roster, move him to IR or release him.
