Broncos Announce Several Transactions

That is a surprise. I can’t believe they think they are that deep at LB. I would have though Batiste would have been let go. Maybe this means they are holding a spot for Darrell Reid after all. Who knows?

I’m personally not comfortable with 3 guys plus Haggan, but the team might be?

“Clark was atrocious in pass protection during the preseason, so it’s a big surprise that he got claimed. The Broncos’ questionable GMing continues.”

These guys are McD haters but nonethless…

I’ve been scouring the web looking for information on his pro career.

Clark is a big 315 pound tackle who was spent the last couple of years on the Viking’s practice squad. He’s played some in the preseason this year and the results weren’t good. He had four penalties in the first game and in the 3rd game he had a penalty and a sack.

So what were the Broncos thinking? Two thoughts come to mind…

First, the Vikings play a zone blocking scheme and perhaps Clark may work much better in a man blocking scheme??

Second, Broncos will try him at Guard instead of Tackle. The Broncos will take flyers on players they think have been used in the wrong position. Perhaps they feel Clark is better suited at guard.

This choice seems like a long shot, at best. I’m not seeing anything that screams potential. But he’s got size…you can’t teach that.

We cut Baraka Atkins and we are now desperately short at OLB. And Kirlew, our draft choice, was not signed even to PS. I’ve not seen him picked up by any team, so I guess he is just not good enough.

Our depth at DL is dangerously low, especially considering these are positions that require rotation during a game, and now the same goes for OLB. I understand that we just do not have enough talented players to put on the roster – this means we we will have to make do for 2010. And extended D-line (DT, DE, OLB) must be a priority in 2011 draft.
