NFL slaps Marshall three games

It's official as of about five minutes ago, and is exactly as was previously reported/leaked. Hopefully Brandon will do what is required to get it reduced to two, and hopefully he will learn from this and avoid off-field incidents in the future.

Ranking the top five NFL centers

In case this link doesn't work for those who aren't subscribed to The Sporting News' War Room, I'll share what it has to say. The third ranked center is Denver's own . . . Ben Hamilton. The author, lauding his versatility, notes that he "can also play guard." Hmmmm. Maybe that's what he'll do, then.

Young Broncos linemen eager for a second chance

The author of this brief piece about Crowder, Thomas, and Moss is more knowledgeable than the clueless wonder at The Pueblo Chieftan.

Broncos face more questions than answers

From the Pueblo [Colorado] Chieftan. The writer is the Deputy Sports Editor, but he is absolutely clueless. He obviously doesn't follow the Broncos closely but must have been told to write something.

Denver Broncos do solid work with draft

Interesting analysis of the Broncos draft from a betting site. Suggests that "Denver acquired more players that figure to remain on the team and contribute more than the Raiders selection of game-changing running back Darren McFadden." The author espcially likes and has write-ups on Clady, Royal, Williams, and Barrett, who he thinks will "'shape up' and become one of the draft's absolute steals."

J-Walk still not looking good

Meant to post this a week or so ago, so it's a little bit out of date. I haven't seen it anywhere else on MHR, though, so maybe it's still news.

Is Selvin Young a Few Steps From Stardom?

Here's one for you, Zappa. Fantasy leaguer on the lookout for the next great Denver running back.

Foxworth for starter?

I've been a fan of Foxy since he entered the league, and not only because he's a high-character guy. He plays smart, he lays it out on the field, and he rises to the occasion, or so it seems to me. It has also seemed to me that many people have underestimated him, figuring him for trade bait, noting that he's been passed up by Paymah, pretty much consigning him to permanent nicke or dime-back status. Hence my pleasure and excitement at seeing the last section of Mike Klis's article on D-Will:
Foxworth for starter?

And finally in this all-D-Will column, there is his right cornerback position. Dre Bly came in and filled it last year and he's still going to get paid big money this year. But one of the passing-camp observations last week was that Domonique Foxworth, Williams' draft classmate and closest friend among current Broncos, was playing extremely well and is pushing Bly for the starting position.

It's too early to tell how this will turn out, but if he's pushing Bly he's not just playing well for a young player. He's playing well, period. He and Darrent were both precocious, and he played well when Darrent was hurt. I think the fact that he was just a little behind Darrent made people not realize how good he was. If he takes the job away from Bly it can only help us in run support. The reason we've used Foxy at safety, even though it's not his position, is he's a good tackler, and Bly isn't. (That's why he was so unsuited for the cover 2 in Detroit.) I actually thought he would push Bly last year, and was surprised when Paymah seemed to have passed him. Maybe that was a temporary hiccough, and he's now back on track to being as good as we thought he was going to be when he and Darrent showed so much promise that first year. What do y'all think?

Reasons for Optimism

Nice article that makes some of the same points that many of us have made here. Note the grossly uninformed arguments by the raiders' fan in the comments section.
