2012 Broncos Oline situation

by ORANGEandBlueHero on Feb 21, 2012 4:57 AM MST

Clady at left tackle, Beadles at left guard. Peter konz at center 1st round pick, Franklin focuses on mauling people at right guard until he develops the quickness for rt, Ryan Harris at right tackle much smoother at pass protection let them battle it out on tebow a blindside are edge rusher will help determine who is capable of playing RT

Also if we do not want to invest in a new center slide Kuper or beadles to center, Walton is kinda Soft and does not possess the athletic ablitily to reach second level defenders but I still think Beadles will grow into a decent guard maybe center. Just some possibilities if we dont Invest in Oline

Clady LT,Harris LG or RT, Beadles C,Kuper RG, Franklin RT or LG just an idea, let Beadles and Walton battle it out in camp

Could u imagine

Clady and Franklin playing next to each other that’s a lot of size and power Franklin pulling would be intense!

Walton is actually very good at getting blocks on second level defenders.

His failing is that he doesn’t have the power to get any movement against 1-techniques who are bigger/stronger than he is.

Familiarity is a must on the OL. If Kuper is healthy, I see very little upside to disrupting the starting five from the past year unless Konz is the next Mangold.

Win the individual battles at the LOS - all else flows from that.

I guess I'm one of the few that would like to see the same o-line next year.

I realize they had some difficulties but that is normal considering they were the youngest o-line in the league—by far. I think the best thing EFX can do is just add depth to the o-line and keep the starters in tacked. They have earned that right from their play in 2011. Let us not forget either, that three of the starters have not even had an offseason yet. Some of us need to be a little more patient and let these guys develop.

You're not alone...

….I’m in that bandwagon too….
O-Line is a unit “Art”…..the most they play together, the better.

Konz won’t look bad in Orange & Blue anyhow….but I’m not sure he’ll beat out Walton as a rookie….maybe in 2013…

So if you put Franklin at RG and Harris at RT where do you have Kuper.

You just downgraded our line with this lineup IMO. I like Harris but not replacing Kuper with Franklin and I don’t even know if Harris will ever be what he was with his back injury which is much more serious than the ankle injury Kuper suffered.

Continuity is a must on the Oline

If it’s not broken, done fix it. The Broncos are going to be a run first team. The first year that this group was together, the team led the league in rushing yardage. Stats sites were down on Walton and Beadles, but as a unit, this line was good enough to turn a offense around that was horrible running the ball in 2010. Imagine what they could do if they were given the opportunity to devlop together as a unit with actual offseason supervision? The Broncos have more glaring needs to spend a first round pick on. DT or CB is a much more valuable pick in the first.
