Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Believe it or not, I think RB should be one heck of a battle, between Tater and Mike Anderson. Mike had the starting spot all but locked up last preseason and then..well, you know.
I expect Tater to shine and win the spot, ultimately.
At third WR, I really can't see it being much of a battle. Rice is too slow and cannot get seperation anymore.
Watts easily, in this one.
I believe Carlisle should have the inside track at RG.
As for the Nickle Back position, I think Foxworth is going to turn some heads and probably be a regular at that spot.
I agree w/you about TBell over MA, and Watts over Rice (though I think JR will contribute some big catches throughout the year). Yes, Carlisle has the inside track at RG, b/c Shanahan values experience. That's what surprised me about you picking Foxworth at the nickel. It's Roc's position to lose b/c he saw some playing time last year and knows the system.
Also, I'm w/you on Browner at safety. I just get the feeling that the kid's going to be too good to keep off the field. At 6'3" and 220 lbs. and having played CB in college, he'll shut down some of these TEs and big slot WRs.
I think some are under-estimating a few on our squad. And thats typical when it's a first year guy battling it out. Most of us don't know much about them, so we don't expect to see much. That being said, here are a couple of sleeper battles.
Stephen Alexander
vs.
Jeb Putzier
Jeb will start, but wouldn't be suprised if Alexander replaces him by midseason. Jeb has problems blocking while Alexander is almost just as fast, blocks better, and is just as good as a receiver.
Maurice Clarrett
vs.
Tatum Bell & Mike Anderson
Bell is gonna be our starter come week one, I have no doubts about that. But I'm looking at the #2 spot. I think Clarrett has a good to great chance of taking that spot. I think he's being totally underrated, and he's always been golden on the gridiron, no matter what Ohioans think of him. He is still a stud.
It's not like every other player in the NFL doesn't do drugs. Everyone does it(Except for a selected few), it's just a matter of covering it up.
Smart players stay away from all drugs except those given or prescribed by doctors.
They make their living with their bodies, if you put something in that causes you problems or is a banned substance they get fined and suspended.
It will bit him big time and anyone else that is stupid. The one old advertising slogan pay me now or pay me alot more later applies. What you put into your body that should not be, sooner or later causes a problem, but it always is a problem.
BTW drug policy for him next time is year off. Think he is stupid? Time will tell.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that you don't get a 3 or 4 game suspension for testing positive on your first offense. I think it was his third positive test.
....and don't count out Tyson Clabo's 6'6"-315 frame...I like that kid...
I do, too. Either his frame or Spikes' 6'4" 313# frame . . . . if one turns out to be particularly good, we will have a lot of beef there beside that monster Foster, won't we?
