I wanted Quentin Griffin instead of Bradley Chubb in 2018. We drafted Dalton Risner in 2019. I wanted to use our 2nd and 1st pick to trade up to draft Meki Becton in 2020. If all of that had happened our WR group would still be weak but we'd have a line of Bolles / Nelson / Crunchberry / Risner / Becton. So, our WR group might still be weak but we'd probably still have Lock and our Offense would actually be functional by now.Adopt-A-Bronco: Jonathon Cooper

Jones was 5th at 6.35.
His opting out or not, the expectation that James was going to be a reliable starter is completely detached from the reality of his injury history -the man is brittle. Developing some depth at RT seemed to be the prudent choice in light of that.Last edited by L.M.; 09-27-2020, 10:46 PM.

Weren't we like the off-season champs after Elway double dipped at wideout in the draft ? Anyway, as Eminem once said, "snap back to reality". 4 straight losing seasons is on the way thanks to Mr. Elway, he has yet again failed, is this the nail in his coffin though ? Or is covid-19 and no time to prepare heading into the season the excuse he gets this year for why the team looks horrible from top to bottom ?

Originally posted by beastlyskronk View PostHere’s the thing, we have a rookie C and a QB who has started anywhere from 6-9 games so far this season. It doesn’t matter what the coaches call, they’re calling it before seeing the defensive front. It’s up to either the QB or the C to read the front and make the appropriate line protections. Cush hasn’t been doing it and I don’t think they want a rookie making those calls. However you also essentially have 2 rookie QBs in terms of starts and they aren’t making them either. However Rypien was making some protection calls. I thought that Driskell and Lock weren’t being given that latitude but it appears they are, or Rypien was operating outside the script.
Either way the line is going to come out and block for what the play calls for. If the QB or C sees an extra blitzer or two (even if they don’t come) they have to identify it and change their protections. And if you can’t keep enough in to block everybody because of the play design (Shurmur does do this often) the QB and the WRs/TEs/RBs/FBs have to know this and keep their head on a swivel because even though you’re a decoy route and may be the 4th option check down, you could be the first option if things go south in a hurry. This isn’t a coaching issue though, its really a lack of experience and lack of ownership in/of the offense.
Except for Bolles and Risner, none of these guys have played next to each other, and Cushenberry is a rookie. With Lock out at the moment, being pass heavy won't work, especially when D rushes five or six as seen today. Some balance needs to be established because PAP has been effective.
There are currently eight on IR including some starters. Some starters on the roster are not playing due to injuries. That is the fact of the matter, and not much can be done about it except play through the situation."Stultum est timere quod vitare non potes." ~ Publilius Syrus
