Horse Tracks 7/3/09 - What is Jamie Dukes' problem?

Horsetracks_new_medium

Twitter - "A 1 gets BM"
Schefter says the Broncos WILL take calls on BMarsh, not that they presently are doing so. He thinks a first-rounder will pry Marshall loose. I don't see anyone paying that, but I'd take it if I'm the Broncos...

ADG - Hillis anticipating role with new staff
An update on Peyton Hillis from one of his hometown papers. Apparently, Hillis had pretty good skills on the diamond as well. He says he's working to avoid more hits next year.

SI - Eagles, Patriots, Falcons produce best NFL offseasons of 2009 - Ross Tucker
This is a fair one. Ross Tucker counts Denver's offseason among the worst; it was a rough one no matter how you look at it. But at least Tucker realizes some good things happened for the Broncos, too. For the Protectors of All Things Negative, this is how it's done.

NFL - Reed edges out Polamalu as league's best safety
Bucky Brooks ranks BDawk among his top-five safeties. So does Rod Woodson in the NFLN clip; he talks about what BDawk will bring to Denver, and of course, Jamie Dukes points out that he can't throw the football. Classic Dukes.

DP - Paige: ESPN: Nugs, not Broncs, best in show
Woody wrote a newspaper article about a magazine article. Why in the world would he do that? Oh, right. It was ESPN the Magazine, and Woody works for ESPN. Got it.

DP - Judge "tired" of stalled Hicks trial
The federal judge who will hear Brian Hicks' cocaine trial is weary of the defendant's stall tactics. (Hicks' truck was used in the murder of D-Will).

Ugh. I didn't know The Crypt Keeper was from New York. That really stings.

NLFN - NFL Videos: Who needs to break out?
Woodson and Dukes think Schaub, Cassel, JaMarcus The Hutt and Roy Williams (WR) need to have big years in '09.

CBS - All Over/Under Team: D'Q, Henderson at opposite ends
Pete Prisco counts BDawk as Denver's most overrated player and Ryan Harris as its most under appreciated.

Jamie Dukes is a moron.

He’s right up there on my list of people that I despise. His reasoning behind everything is garbage. “can he throw the football?”

pointless argument to bring up in a SAFETY top 5. I bet Ed Reed can’t throw it either.

Peyton Hillis is also referred to in early Greek mythology by his other names such as Zeus or Poseidon.

Yep, JD is a nutter

Thanks and Good Morning NYC

Thanks mate...

I am not going to waste thoughts or time on Jamie Dukes. He right up there with Schein and Solomon…enough said!

Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????

Jamie Dukes is half an idiot...

and that’s the good half of him.

Can't Throw

Sorry. I did not read anything about BDawk not being able to throw the football.

by Endzone on Jul 3, 2009 11:12 AM MDT reply actions  

(It's about 3/4 in)

when they get to Dawkins #5, Dukes mutters, “Can he throw the football?” at the end of that piece. Just FYI.

Dukes is 100% idiot

Lets not forget moments after we drafted Clady it was Pukes that said he needed to move to right tackle because he was not left tackle material for the NFL.
We all know how that played out.

What a freakin idiot!

by WestCoast on Jul 3, 2009 1:22 PM MDT reply actions  

Did he really say that??

Wow, I’d love to send him a clip of that video or even better send it to the people who hired him to give them a better look at his insightful analysis.

NFL Network

It’s funny, I considered them a godsend the first offseason I lived outside Colorado. Now I consider it a chore to even check them out. They lost me…and I lost interest with pure ambivalence. I don’t think they care to pander to anything beyond the casual fan, and I can respect that.

I have not turned on ESPN or NFL Network since the Draft.

They are both a joke. they base everything off of opinion. Lets face it. Most people on NFL network are ex football players and everyone knows most football players are not very bright. Jamie Dukes should never be on TV, I have never seen anyone so ignorant

by gnarlybroncodude on Jul 3, 2009 4:39 PM MDT reply actions  

Woodson is a level headed guy

and I like that he approaches it from a players standpoint still. He hasn’t bashed Denver like Pukes or Wilcots.

What!

Dawkins can’t throw the football? Oh great, we are really toast now….CRAP!

Dukes has no knowledge

Jamie Dukes was a big fat guard out of Florida State that Atlanta picked up as a undrafted player. Played a few years for Atlanta and starting some before being cut then hooked up with GB one year the Arizona one then could not compete.
His bio and profile do not project ANY knowedge of football. NFL Network, which has gone down hill with its analyst’s (NFL REPLAY is pretty good), gave him a spot (Keep your Dukes up) but he was sooooo bad they cancelled it.
Yes he was the one who said that Ryan Clady would need to play right tackle to develop into a decent left tacke. ENOUGH SAID about his knowledge.

by DLMyers on Jul 4, 2009 9:59 AM MDT reply actions  

I keep asking him what round he was drafted in

on Twitter….but I don’t get any response. hmm.

He signed with Atlanta as an Undrafted FA in 1986

Finger trouble

Dukes played the Broncos twice in his career from what I can work out.
In 88 with the Falcons and in 95 with the Cards. He lost both. So his only memorys of Denver are bad ones. Poor Guy.
