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.

I imagine Riddick wouldn’t have signed here if he wasn’t given a strong indication that he would make the team. He’s quicker than fast which makes him a viable short yardage mismatch against LBs and Safeties.
However I think Muhammad and Jackson both offer much more explosiveness. Jackson will probably be put on the PS but I don’t think Muhammad is eligible, could be wrong but if he keeps playing like he did in game one he won’t make it there anyway. Booker is a reliable pass catcher and offers more power as well as being solid in pass pro.
I’m just not sure how much Riddick brings to the table for us
I am puzzled by this move. I thought by the way Muhammad Played was exceptional so why even bring in another RB?

Maybe the coaches aren’t as high on the WR depth as we are? He does offer proven positional flexibility as we can line him up in the backfield with another RB and motion him out to give an idea of what the defense is in, could also force the defense to keep an extra LB and not go in their nickle formation.
I still don’t think he makes the team. Muhammad looks very good and if we keep either over Booker that leaves us with Freeman and Janovich as short yardage options and I’m not sure Freeman will be the most durable RB.

And I wonder about Jano...if his replacement plays well in his absence ....he might be a camp cut too... which I don’t like,,,
I could see riddick being our slot receiver. He has the hands and speed... good multi treat option ...except he’s injured too now..
I was really looing forward to seeing him in this offense. This sucks. Hope he can get and stay healthy.
I don't know. He's banged up a lot. He's a really good receiver, and decent runner. You can use him as your primary back if your starter gets hurt, but he's really a utility player, and he almost assuredly will get injured when you ask him to carry the ball a lot. If we still have him around, we can use him like a poor man's Tarik Cohen or something. He annihilated that linebacker or safety that was covering him early in the Seattle game. If Hogan hadn't missed him by about three feet, he would've pickup up around 30, and might've scored with a block or two.
I'd much rather see us try to use Lindsay as a three down. Not crazy usage, but around 18-19 touches a game to see how he does as a receiver and durability wise. We've got Freeman, and we still got Booker or whoever else to spell him here and there. How are we going to know what Lindsay can really do unless we give him the work? That's my philosophy.
