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.

Will not be here ASHLEY CRY BABY LELIE. I would make him sit if he does not want to show up for camp. I think it is comical someone with these pathetic stats except for 2004 wants a new contract. What a joke and what a bust for a 1st round pick.
Med,
Ashley never asked for a new contract.
If Ashley shows up for training camp, Shanny won't be having him sit out.
Ashley's return or no return is all up to Ashley. He probably won't return though.
It's a business and he has the right to look elsewhere. Even his teammates have said the same. Howeve, he hasn't been there and if he doesn't show up then they'll move on with business as usual.

I may have misuderstood. Ashley has one year left. If he was a man he would honor it and then have his payday. my point is he is mediocre at best, maybe some of that is the play calling, but if you want to be a #1 in this league, you have to have seasons like he did in 04, not his other pathetic ones. I know you like Ashley sorry I am just putting my feelings on what I think.
First off, I think we'll be carrying six wide receivers this year given the youth we have there and talent. My charts are contingent on Lelie being here and Lelie not being here. So. . . let's begin!
Lelie on the Roster:
1. Rod Smith
2. Javon Walker
3. Ashley Lelie
4. Darius Watts
5. Brandon Marshall
6. Domenik Hixon
Lelie off the Roster:
1. Rod Smith
2. Javon Walker
3. Darius Watts
4. Brandon Marshall
5. Charlie Adams
6. Domenik Hixon
Have a hard time believing we'll get rid of either of our fourth round receivers, especially Marshall. Have a hard time we'll get rid of Charlie Adams if Lelie isn't here since he has valuable special teams experience, a role as a #3 receiver and time in the system. Not really sold on Devoe or Terrell. . .
This is based on Walker being able to return to his 04-05 form.
Javon Walker
Rod Smith
Darius Watts
Brandon Marshall
Charlie Adams
During minicamps, everyone was raving about Marshall. Especially Walker. He praised him very highly and said he was learning things form watching him play.
I know I'll probably be raked for putting Walker above Rod, but it's realistic. I love and cherish Rod as much as anyone. Despite that, Walker had something like 1,300 yards and 12 TDs in 04'-05'. He was emerging as a superstar, and is 27 years old. Rod is still very reliable, has great hands, blocks very well, and gets open on 3rd down. He is 36 though and takes his fair share of hard hits.
I don't see why people are only projecting 5 receivers when we carried 6 last years with a logjam of tight ends on our team. Remember, we'll probably have one receiver dedicated pretty much to special teams. . . maybe not -- no, did we add Terrell to the active in January?
It looks like now we only have three viable tight ends, Scheffler, Alexander and Jackson (if healthy) with Mike Leach as a possible 4th TE as the LS candidate, so that makes carrying more receivers a likely scenario. I don't think we'll carry more than six, but I'm wondering why people are thinking we'll only carry five?

Nothing wrong with that Med. You have that right. Not all of us like everyone player. Just referencing it wasn't the contract.
Plus, I think most know by now I like the ones on the bubble (not the trouble makers). You know last year it was Lenny Walls.

It may be because some of our recievers bounced around the inactive lsit last season. Watts and Terrell were both on and off the list. The 5 I put I think will be active every week. If one is injured though, then someone like Hixon or Terrell will become active.
