9/4/09 Horse Tracks - Broncos shut out Cards 19-0; No known injuries, plus 4 Turnovers for the D

Horse_tracks_new_logo_medium

Good Morning, MHR Friends! Remember, it was just preseason. A win is just as unimportant as the three losses that preceded it. Most importantly, it didn't seem there were any new injuries. Another impressive night from Tom Brandstater, huh? Sure, he was only 16 of 30, but you've got to like his poise in the pocket and his arm strength. At least I do. Plus, four takeaways for the defense. Probably not important, but still nice to get off the schneid so we don't have to hear any more about that. Same for the result - the win doesn't matter to anyone but us. Of course, that brings us to final cuts either today or tomorrow (I believe the deadline is tomorrow at 2pm Eastern?). Meanwhile, this will be my last Horse Tracks until next Thursday, as my wife and I are taking a much-needed getaway. Who goes to Florida in September? Apparently, this dope. I hope you all have a great Labor Day Weekend; be safe and enjoy it!

Thanks NYC

and thanks NFLN for rebroadcasting the game just as I finished packing the kids lunches for tomorrow. I missed the first go around due to school meetings, but what a happy way to end the evening. Team looked really good, very few mistakes/penalties, and of course a positive turnover differential. I could tell the D had been practicing runbacks — none of them seemed astonished to end up with the ball or tentative about running with it at all. Say what you want about the Cards going 0-4 in the preseason — that team was in the last SB, people, and we just blanked them!!!

It's freaking hot down here. Just say no.

You are a dope for coming down to Florida right now. Don’t do it. It’s stifling, it’s humid and it has been raining ridiculously hard every other day.

It’s September, you should be headed to Colorado for a trip into the mountains. Indian Summer, deep blue skies, changing Aspen trees and very few crowds to contend with. Colorado is the greatest place on the planet in September. September in Florida is Hurricane season. BTW GO CANES!

Broncs do good for a change, but little news on it. I guess the reason is it’s just preseason, but that didn’t protect them from criticism either, hmmmm.

I give the Broncos an A- last night

as exhibition games go. (watched it late at night rerun on the NFLN.) The expected flatness later in the game and of course it’s exhibition and yadda yadda. But D looks better and better. Special teams coverage was better. OL play was better. Brandstater did a good job leading the offense for a good while, even if he reminded us at times he is a rookie. And those turnovers were a rare pleasure. A meaningless game but a good way to lead into the real ones.

I don’t think it’s that weird to think Brandstater’s spot might not have been secure; it’s not always a given teams carry 3 QB’s, though with Simms and Orton hurting it certainly makes more sense to do so!

Walker seemed to have solidified his spot over Jordan (unless they carry an extra back). Picking the backup safeties won’t be easy now either.

Glad they have ten days for the QBs to keep healing before the first game.

And happy travels, nyc!

The fact that Jordan didn’t even get a chance to defend his spot makes me think he was never going anywhere anyway.. unless he’s still hurt. It’s almost like they were trying to run Walker into the ground hoping he’d pull something and they wouldn’t have to feel bad when they cut him, haha. I bet we keep 5 backs.

by ELGee on Sep 4, 2009 9:59 AM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Jordan

The last report I read indicated that Jordan was practicing without wearing an injured player jersey. I was looking to see him play in yesterday’s game. That he did not play at all has me wondering if he will make the team. That Walker played almost the entire night has me thinking he made the roster.

That Walker played almost the entire night has me thinking Walker made the roster.

by Endzone on Sep 4, 2009 10:19 AM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Usually guys that play a majority of the 4th preseason game are doing so as a last ditch audition, hoping to milk a big play or two. Otherwise why risk injury to a guy you want on the roster. Guess we’ll see. Walker busted that TD from the 1, and Jordan has had trouble in short yardage situations so far this preseason.. so perhaps his time is up.

by ELGee on Sep 4, 2009 11:19 AM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

the secondary looked great...

they were alover the field trying to make plays. there were quite a few balls that couldve been intercepted but were atleast knocked away. i thought the d looked a hell of a lot better.
 but man o man did i get hammered with texts last night asking if we paid off the refs last night. especially after the horsecollar and late hit. all on the same play. but over all i was impressed. i was hoping the cards would do a little better thatn they did seeing as how im from az but def glad to see we whooped the hell out of them.

ive got a buddy

thats a colts and cards fan. he was trying to stir the pot last night saying that the refs shouldve called penalties on the horsecollar and late hit but werent called and that levi brown got thrown outta the game for “bumping” into the ref. he tried to make it sound as if we were playing dirty and the O-lineman accidentally “bumped” into the ref. but he stopped complaining when i told him its just preseason.

It was Elton Brown, not Levi.

To pick a nit

To be a horse collar tackle, the player must immediately be brought to the ground. If the tackle is not complete (ie, the grip is released before completion of the tackle), it is not a horse collar. The QB stayed up, so I gues it was technically NOT a horse collar.

But that brings up a question. For some reason, I was under the impression that tackling by grabbing the back of the collar was legal, as long as the defender did not simultaneously fall on the back of the legs. Am I making this up, did they adjust the initial horse collar rules, or what? Someone help!

by Disco_Stu on Sep 4, 2009 10:44 AM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

From Scout.com
• All players are prohibited from grabbing the inside collar of the back of the shoulder pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately pulling down the runner. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket. Previously, the "horse-collar" tackle rule did not include the back of the shoulder pads or jersey. This increases the scope of the rule. Penalty: Loss of 15 yards

I don’t think there’s anythign about falling on the legs.

by SlowWhiteGuy on Sep 4, 2009 11:07 AM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Found the same stuff on Wikipedia

I swear I heard something about not falling on legs when the rule was first created, but I haven’t found a single shred of evidence to back it up. That makes the conclusion pretty easy: it’s a vast, international conspiracy to discredit me. :oP

Thanks for double-check!

  i work with him as well and he tried giving me a hard time about it again. knowing him tho, he wont care and just likes giving me a hard time because i defend anything and everything when it comes to the broncs. i take it a little too seriously sometimes.

Watching Aaron Curry btw

makes me feel even stronger (I did at the time) that the chiefs erred in picking Tyson Jackson over him. I understand needs and all that and Jackson will probably be fine but Curry is something special. Take the best player on defense, Chiefs.

The commenter formerly known as "Dashiell".

by underdog on Sep 4, 2009 9:28 AM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Jackson was an easier sign which Pioli probably values being a New England guy. Curry is definitely a freak, but Jackson helps KC a lot. That being said, they wouldn’t have needed TJ if Glenn Dorsey panned out like he was supposed to.

Thanks. (And I still think they’ll regret not taking Curry.)

Agree With underdog

The chiefs drafted for “need” instead of BPA two years in a row. They should have taken Curry, who I thought was the best player in the draft.

Sorry, Underdog

I’m well aware that dolphins are mammals, but I grew up (and still work) amongst Jets fans, and the nickname for the Dolphins here is the “Fish”. As dumb as I think Jets fans are, I’m pretty sure the nickname is intentionally inaccurate, with a negative connotation.

the Jets fans explanation makes sense, though I still wonder if you’re giving them too much credit for smarts. ;-) I do see a lot of other people, even sportswriters call them that, too, though.

Brandstater plays a lot like...

Big Ben. Naturally people assumed if McDaniels drafted him than he was destined to be the next Tom Brady, but I see a lot more Roethlisberger in his game. He’s more mobile than advertised.

Though it’s obvious why QBs don’t usually wear #3. You want 6 points every drive, not 3 :P

play those that play with fire

after watching last night against the cardinals, i noticed there was a lot of effort and excitement by several players trying to lock down a spot on the roster. if this is to be a rebuilding year that many prognosticators are calling for, why not play them and get some experience for the future. i like brandstaters progress through the preseason, i think he has the most upside of the qb’s.

Except that McD obviously doesn't think this year is a rebuilding year

Given the Phons trade and pick given to Seattle, McD obviously thinks this team can win, and win immediately.

Whether he’s right, or whether this really will be a rebuilding year, is why the debates get so intense at times around here…

But for right or wrong, playing young guys like this is a “rebuilding” year would be completely inconsistent with everything McD has done to date.
