mCkensie is PR who is now on the PS.

You guys are counting on Ragland making it through the year with his knee too.

Ben Niemann is his backup. He really flashed in preseason, take it for what it’s worth like your “preseason stars”

I wish McKensie was on the 53, his fumbling issues would cost you big time

We upgraded at QB, both 1st and 2nd string, hell even 3rd.

At RB:
Added 2 impressive Rooks in Freeman and Lindsay.

FB:
Jano is solid and a ST's contributor

OL:
Improved with Bolles, Leary, Paradis, McGovern, Veldheer. They were great in run game and Veldheer takes much improved angles against speed rushers.

TE:
Upgraded with addition of Butt.

WR:
4 Deep, 5 when Sunshine comes off PUP. DT, Sanders (who Elway stole away while he was still at your place! EPIC), Sutton, Hamilton, Patrick looked good too in PS but he is holding a place for Taylor.

D:

OLB:
4 deep, you guys might have 1 if Houston is better than last year. Chubb has a safety already and a half sack with Von.

DE:
Above Average Wolfe, Gotsis, Walker, they are all going to get sacks.

DT:
Peko and Harris were good last year.

ILB:
Love the drafting of Jewell, have a lot of guys focused on tackling for ST's. Marshall is a top ILB, you guys would love to have him.

CB:
Harris - top 5 CB every year
Roby - getting his earned shot to start outside rather than at Nickle.
PacMan - Not a fan of him off the field but good pick up as he filled 2 needs. CB and PR.
Yiadom is young but talented. Good pick.
Improved depth on the back end sure Talib will be missed but no more than you guys will miss Peters.
The guys who PMINT got his FG win with aren't on the team anymore or back to PS.

Safety:
Simmons is playing well as is Stewart
Parks and Craven's will contribute.

Coaching:
Improved the ST's and OL coaches. Both units are so much better than last year. I like Billy at OC, I hope he stays with the run game like they did in the PS. He and VJ said they wanted to run last year but never got an identity on O that will change this year.

Not excited about VJ and Woods but VJ has shown that he is improving in some areas.

Only places I am concerned is if Keenum comes out and struggles to be accurate early and VJ and Woods coaching decisions at big spots in games.

Keenum played well and placed the ball well last year taking his team to the NFC Championship game. If we get that Keenum then we will challenge the Chuggers for the division. If not then we slug it out with you and the Fade for the bottom of the AFC West.

We will know what kind of teams we both have by week 6. Right now I am optimistic about getting back to the playoffs and making some noise.

I guess now he's the,"Best 3 QB in the league" to have been cut...

They don't arrest guys for "flashing" down there? LOL

If you have to count on a rook ILB over a guy you traded for you will be in trouble.

This on a D that lost talent after giving up an 18 point lead into the 3rd quarter in the playoffs. A D that collapsed under the weight of Chase Daniels and his 2nd team O.

What did Chase put up on your 1's? 21 points?

If you only get 10 points out of your O by the half in the RS it is going to be a long year for you guys. Lots of games trying to come back down 17 or 21 late.

I can agree with you guys on that stupid quote.

Klis can be such a joke.

[KranzDictum]

Have a great holiday weekend guys!

[Mecca]

There's a reason you won 5 games last year...your team is not good. You honestly aren't any better now the Broncos are a fading team without much young talent.

I get you're trying to be optimistic, but damn man.

Can always be worse . . . .

Or at least you didn’t draft Eric “the Franchise” Fisher at 1.1.

It can always be worse.

You keep shitting on their D like we think it’s good. It’s not lol but it’ll be fine enough to beat Denver like it was last year.

You know who has proven to lead a game winning drive? Mahomes in his start in Denver

[Mecca]

They're paying a backup QB 18 million dollars, not impressed.

There was no one else, Reerun. Haven't you heard? There were literally no other football players present in the room.

[Mecca]

Sadly if you go back to that draft, Fisher is one of the better first rounders...
