Cody Latimer ready for big jump, Broncos' Kubiak says

[onanygivensunda]

I'm pretty sure J. Thomas is #80. I don't think the tackle can be blamed on him given that the runner was tackled by the legs from behind and J. Thomas' guy was in front of the runner trying to get an arm tackle that wasn't even necessary.

That's just Chris Borland making a helluva great read and tackle.

Given the fact that DT won't be attending any offseason workouts or going with Manning and Co. to Duke Latimer should get some pretty good looks.

Now that I live near Duke Id love to see them practice. But I doubt Id be able too.

Latimer going to Duke with PM and other people

Emmanuel Sanders keeps a notebook and Cody is going to start doing it as well. I remember Crockett had a notebook on all the WRs he faced.

Maybe the guy would have gotten the tackle or maybe the runner would have been able to get by it if he hadn't been run down from behind.

If our offensive line turns out to be half decent I think this will be my favorite offense of the Manning era. Two quality tight ends who can block (Daniels can receive and Green will most likely be decent if not good), a big finesse receiver (who blocks well when he blocks), a big physical possession receiver who can block well, and Sanders who is a great small fast receiver who plays inside and out. A good starting caliber RB in Anderson with Ball potentially in there as a starter and Thompson who is big and physical while Hillman is a receiving threat and change of pace back. This O has balance and options.

I love the way Manny Ramirez watches the play afterwards like, "holy crap!"

[FL BRONCO]

That just made me feel warm all over, now I just imagine that play with Green in there

cps for that

I think even Thunder is getting ancy for the season already

It'll be nice to see him actually play finally

[Scheyjosh]

Lol. Latimer has a great block and Julius let's his block get the tackle.

[Garfield]

I susoect they will get him on the field more to see if they really need to spend 15+ mil a year in Keeping DT.

I always believed that he was drafted to replace DT when he got to expensive.

He is big fast and can block. Now the question of is can he catch.

IMO Fox did him not favors keeping him off the field.

I am excited to see Latimer out there on a more regular basis. I expected to see more of him last season, but that's done. He brings physicality to our O, and will be very much of an asset if he can deliver some timely/effective blocks, thereby keeping Ds honest, and helping us gain even more YACs from our terrific receivers.

It's ironic that we lost a talented TE and might not miss him that much (if at all), given he was more of a big receiver than a TE. For me, a TE should add toughness, and key blocks, while being a sure handed receiver. Latimer as a receiver can help fill some of the void (if even necessary) by playing a bit like a receiving hybrid....tough and talented.

Teams that play physical naturally are going to be a load. I compare them to hockey teams who never stop body checking. It wears down opponents. So I love the fact that we may be tougher and more physical on O. Physicality on both sides of the line make for a painful 3 hours and change!!!
