Bronco defense rated

I just wanna compare this to other D’s for my own curiosity

DLMyers interesting post…like me you can’t wait till TC.

All these suppose experts and fantasy ratings are all subjective analysis’. Anyway if you add in Camaradrie & Chemistry our new Defense could compare to maybe the Orange Crush. I think this entire season will be hinge on the Defense keeping our team in the game and hopefully the Offense can score enough TD’s this year and win the battle of the POT…

What is an adequate starter vs a decent vs a useful or an average starter? Lots of terms being tossed around, but even keeping in mind that this is a Fantasy Football publication it would help to know what they mean by them.

According to this, David Bruton is an adequate starter, apparently. He didn’t start much last year, but did excellent special teams work. Does that make him a starter? If so, how do you measure his contribution? Akin Ayodele led the league in missed tackles last year with 17, according to FO (I believe). He’s also very weak in coverage, but somehow this makes him a solid starting linebacker. You could go on with this, but the point is simple – I have no idea what they think that their terms mean. I have to wonder – do they?

Alphonso Smith is an adequate starter???? Says who? I am seriously cheering for the guy, but you can’t call him adequate yet given his body of work so far. The kid needs to seriously bring it this year or get out.

The Broncos and the Chiefs ratings are low, man we get no respect in that game at all. Wait until you see T.Tebow rating. http://www.maddenfans.com/madden-11/madden-11-rookie-ratings/#comment-3976

You can’t even use the 2nd round players because their rated so low.

I’m with Doc above.

It’s an interesting read, but it sort of reminds me of the tv show, The Office when Michael has Pam taking notes and writing down how Micheal is grading his employees for a contest he’s holding. At one point, he asks her who’s ahead. She replies something like, Dwight’s got two gold stars, you gave Jim a B+, three check marks to Andy and a smiley face for Angela. Naturally Michael asks her to check to see if he gave her a conversion chart.

I think we could all use one of those. Interesting, though and thanks for the post!

We’ll see the type of D we saw in the first six games, throughout the regular and entire post-season.

I’m still baffled at how We allow 66 points in the first six, then the last ten we allow 258… I keep seeing more reasons to believe Our D this season will mirror the D from last season’s first six, as opposed to the last 10 (well, they can look like they did against NY on Thanksgiving and at Arrowhead in Dec. too). I won’t be surprised in the least if Our D ranks top five come the end of the season.

There’s a whole lot of adequate, decent and average on that defense… you need more than that in order to be great, hopefully they figure it out.

Note that BDawk is a “Hall of Famer” while Champ is only a “Perennial Pro-bowler”. Then go read Champ’s “flaws” section…

“Will gamble and guess wrong at times. Could participate more in run support. A solid but not great tackler. Isn’t as physical as he should at the line.”

This, about the best tackling corner of the decade, who at times has been uncomfortably involved in our run support. I read that and realized that the guys up at SBN don’t spend much time out West.
