seemed to have leaked a few days ago, heard about it then, so it doesn’t seem a big deal at this point. I guess they weren’t all that enamored with him. The other RB seems decent.

Btw, off topic but does anyone know a place where you can watch old Broncos games online? Like late 70s/early 80s games? I can’t seem to find any on YouTube but maybe didn’t look hard enough.

It’s nice to see Carlton Powell back, he’s the right kind of player but had to overcome an injury that’s extremely hard to recover from, besides also developing as a player. I think athletes recuperating from a ruptured achilles take 2 years to truly recover. As I was saying in a recent post regarding DL talent, the talent may already here — or been here in Powell’s case.

Josina got the Darius Walker cut right, and I’m not really surprised that he was waived. Ball is exactly the right size of RB for us — a solid, short type like Jones-Drew or Slaton. I said upon hearing the (premature) report of Walker being waived that RB was an area that we’ve evaluated and found wanting. It’s a problem in tandem with the OL — quite certainly — but the right kind of back helps mitigate weaknesses in the running game. Neither Jordan nor Hillis is currently giving us we need from our backup RB.

Another area we looked at during the bye week is punter & STs — obviously. McDaniels hasn’t had to make many changes so it’s been hard to gauge how he operates. I don’t think he’ll be timid when it comes to making necessary and prudent changes. As we all saw in the off-season, JM is hardly timid.

when placed on the injured/practice squad list, does that mean he is out for the year? or can he be activated fom it later.

Billick & Mayock look at how B-more beat the Broncos. It’s just as Orton said – two safeties sitting deep, tons of pressure – can’t go deep, don’t have time to make good throws underneath.

Oh yeah, that’s what WE do to OTHER teams! ; )

What makes me nervous is that Monday we’ll be facing another team with a D not dissimilar to Baltimore’s, even featuring a dominant playmaker at safety.

In my mind, playing at home gives us the edge we need IF the home crowd feels it. Come on, Bronco-fans-who-are-lucky-enough-to-attend, you gotta make some noise and help us beat the champs!!!
