That Washington Times article....

…wasn’t even shoddy work. It was no work at all. Beyond sloppy (spelling, players not even on the team, depth chart postings that are beyond laughable), the author could not have possibly done any research on the team what so ever. I don’t even give an “F” grade for that. I give an IN-COM-PLETE.

Good stuff in the GT about the three TEs we have. Run and pass blocking is a lock for the team this year, and it looks like Josh might depart from using the TEs as “just” blockers (as in NE) to create nice mismatches.

This should be a great year for the TE positions in Denver.

Thanks NYC!

WT article

I couldn’t stand the writing at the begining so I scrolled down and saw his projected starters on defense. That was some of the best comedy I’ve read in a long time. I can’t believe that guy manages to gets paid for that.

Chad Jackson

I had high hopes for him coming out of college. I’m hoping his is the feel good story of the year. His mindset is right and everything else seems to be in place. He just needs to realize his potential.
