3 Games in and a look at the future!!!

First let me ask how Denver who came in 2nd in the division gets one of the HARDEST SCHEDULES in the NFL , while the Chargers play Arizona , Raiders and Rams in the next 3 weeks??? Denver always gets screwed while opening up on the road to start the season , if we play Jacksonville in Denver it is a Win.

I also believe that if we had Elvis Dumervil , Denver could be 3-0 right now. He had 17 Sacks last year!!!!!!

Ok now that that is over , let me give you some thoughts on this year and next.

Denver still controls it's Destiny this year. Denver has to win it's Division Games. If Denver can go 6-0 or 5-1 in the Division then they will be in Great shape to make The Playoffs. San Fran , Rams , Arizona all look like very winnable games.


My prediction is that Denver finishes 9-7 or 10-6 and has a good chance to make the Playoffs.

Bill Williamson of ESPN - Football today believes that Denver is 1 Offseason away from being a very good team. He cited that Kyle Orton's play bodes well for Denver in the future and said that Denver has a very good Offensive System in Place.

Things Denver needs to fix this year.

I am sick and tired of hearing how bad our Oline is. This is REDICULOUS. If anything starting 3 Players who never played 1 down in the NFL and still leading the league in Passing is AMAZING. I think that if Maroney just made that 1 foot more to score a TD nobody would be complaining. I think that Stanley Daniels , JD Walton and Zane Beadles have all performed very well and that the Future is Bright on the Oline. These 3 guys are playing against grown men who have a ton of NFL experience. So give them a little time in the run game.

I do hope that Knowshon Moreno came come back from his injury and be 100% this year. I love the trade for Lawerence Maroney. Yes Maroney was a little rusty in his 1st Game this year but he was a STEAL. Hopefully he will resign with the team and become a great 1-2 punch with Knowshon.

Looking ahead to the future and next year. I think Denver will finish about 9-7 and have about the 15th Pick in the NFL Draft next year. I think that McDaniels was right for trading away Brandon Marshall and we should get a EXCELLENT Player with Miami's 2nd Round Pick this year.

Team Needs Going into 2011 -

Safety - Brian Dawkins is still a warrior but isn't the impact player he was years ago and might have 1 year left??? Renaldo Hill is by far my least impressive player on Defense , he rarely makes any plays of importance. I think that Darcel McBath has talent but needs to stay healthy. I think that Safety is a HUGE NEED and Denver must draft one in the 1st - two rounds.

NT - Jamaal Williams has played OK but is OLD and Ron Fields is more of a Backup. NT is a HUGE need also. Denver must Draft a good NT for the future. Unless they plan on using Kevin Vickerson there at 6'5" 325lbs.

TE - Denver shouldn't have traded Scheffler for nothing. We need a pass catching TE in my mind. Maybe not McDaniels but I think TE is going to be drafted by Denver next year.

DE - I think that Justin Bannan is a very solid player but we could use a upgrade on Ryan McBean. He just doesn't make any plays. I see Pittsburgh's DE's making alot more plays than Denver's.

1st Round Pick(15th)----------------------------------------------------------------- Cameron Heyward - DT - Ohio St. - 6'5" 290lbs I think that one of these guys will be available when we draft - Marcell Darius , A. Clayborn , A. Bailey , Jared Crick or Cameron Heyward at 15 and I think that Heyward is a great fit for Denver.

2nd Round Pick ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deunta Williams - Safety - North Carolina - 6'1" 210lbs Williams is a ball hawk and would make a excellent player to team with Darcel McBath for years to come. I also like Mark Barron of Alabama but think he will be gone.

2nd Round Pick(via Miami)------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kendrick Ellis - NT - Hampton - 6'5" 325lbs - I am a little leery of drafting players who transferred like Chris Baker but Ellis is just destroying people.

3rd Round Pick ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Weslye Saunders - TE - South Carolina - 6'5" 272lbs - Yes he is suspended for the year but so was Dez Bryant and he got drafted in the 1st Round.

Final thoughts

I think that The Denver Broncos will win atleast 1 SuperBowl with Josh McDaniels as Head Coach.

I think that Tim Tebow won't start until year 3-4 and it might not be with Denver if Kyle Orton continues to get better.

I think that the NFL is a Passing League and if you look at The Colts , The Saints , The Steelers , and New England are pass first teams.

GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
