Ryan Harris named to 2008 All-Pro Team

Too bad it's just Peter King's. The SI writer chose only one Bronco this year and that lucky individual was Harris, who was very, very deserving. Here's a quote from the Peter King article:

In September, I (Peter King) stood with then Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, watching his team practice. The Denver offense was hot, and I said to Shanahan I'd heard a lot of good things about his second-year right tackle, Ryan Harris. "Nobody knows who he is yet,'' said Shanahan, "and I kind of like it that way. But he's the best [right tackle] I've had here -- quick, and you can't move him.''

Titans LT Michael Roos got the nod over phenom rookie Ryan Clady (Which I personally can't complain about). But don't worry Broncos fan we could very well see both our tackles on the real squad.

I can complain about Clady...

and his methodology for picking Harris sucked. He admitted to going off what he was told. It’s nice that Harris was picked, and he was outstanding. But Peter King wouldn’t know a good Tackle if one bit him in the ass.

I think Roos is the same caliber as Clady

Which says a hell lot about Clady and his potential. I could go either way but of course I have my biases…

I don't...

We can agree to disagree, I guess, but I don’t think anybody in the League is anywhere near Clady. He has the ability to be the greatest LT to ever play the game. What sets him apart is his ability to get out in space and hit a CB. The only guy I have seen who could consistently do that is Anthony Munoz (presently the greatest LT who ever played,) who weighed about 270 pounds.

Roos is very good, and so is Joe Thomas, but both are far, far, far behind Clady in terms of movement skills and natural ability.

Agreed Ted.

The kid is quick, powerful, a space heater and gets better every game in the run and the pass…his upside is enormous and he was clearly the best LT this year.
Harris was easily in the Top 5 RT’s….no doubt in my mind.
Our whole line are all Top 8s at least!

Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.

I agree, Larsen shouldn’t get any bigger. I am getting tired of his bone crushing hits knocking the pixels off my TV, once they fall to the floor they are very hard to find.

I can deal with bears....sharks on the other hand.......of course, I am not talking about if I were menstrual(I’m a guy so that isn’t it), but yeah. I can deal with bears if my arm or something was bleedin’, but sharks? I’ll pass on those. The worst feeling in the world is to be out in the surf and feel something very large brush up against your leg as you were alone waiting for your next wave. I don’t think I’ve gone out past waist deep in the ocean since. lol It was probably just a damn dolphin or something, but yeah. Screw sharks and the evolutionary train they rode in on!

Victor Frankl:

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

Nah, don't worry about it, just messing haha.

Also glad you added the (I can’t complain about) tag to the Clady overlook. Glad to see lots of us here at MHR aren’t completely letting bias cloud our opinions. Although we all know how great Clady was in his first year :)
