Started with early pressure on Tavarius Jackson by Elvon Dumiller(Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller). The defense in general played great. I think they really gave a show of how they can get constant pressure all year and create turnovers by the other team. I am very excited for the D this year. Man we missed Doom last year. He was everywhere. Miller is explosive. Speed is truely his friend. He is quicker to the QB than anyone we've ever had. The word is Fox has nicknamed the D, "Nascar", because of the need for speed. Miller provides a majority of this speed. DJ separated his elbow and will be out for 3-4 weeks. Woodyard stepped in fine though. Bunkley went down when he got chopped at the knees. He should be OK. We got beat with a couple of screen passes again. Champ and Goodman look great. Thompson and Vaughn look decent. Nate Jones got burnt again. Ayers had a good play and celebrated like Nate Webster. Cox not near what he was last year. Maybe 'cause he has other things on his mind. Mays played great. Quite a few good licks. Second string was kinda weak.
Offense. Most would say Orton played well. His stats were good. Same old story to me though. Boring. Got sacked. Threw it away. Never can run with the ball. Most also will say Tebow stunk. I thought he did well. As you can tell, I'm biased so enough on that. Moreno looks good. He's in better shape this year. Shouldn't be a full time RB though. No way does he stay healthy with a big workload. McGahee is a good compliment for him. Behind those two we are not very good. WRs are good. Lloyd is a star. Royal and Decker had good games as well. Anderson was a good pickup. Julius Thomas was leading receiver from TE spot.
This should be the last major playing time we see for the first string players. When the real season starts we will be able to be competitive with anyone as long as we can stay fairly healthy and have some breaks here and there. However, if Doom, Miller, Champ, Goodman or any more than one of the OL end up out for the year we may end up in the top of the draft again next year. Go Broncos.

Thanks Digger you are a champ.
ReplyDeleteI think Von and Doom will be awesome for us. Nascar is a cool name for the D. Woodyard I think will do well in DJs spot.
Orton was boring, threw an int to the DL (I did see this) and it was terrible.
Second stringers are not great. From what I have seen Tebow was ok.
With one game left I expect Tebow to play the first half and Quinn the second. Tebow has only had 20 attempts and Quinn still has 30. So Tebow should start.
Never mind on the "Farve and Cutler Sucks" FF league. I just went there and evidently butthead Darrin Peppard did not reactivate the team or else he has changed the name and deleted the team owners. I don't know why, a few weeks ago it was showing as activated with the draft scheduled for tonight at 7:00 pm.
ReplyDeleteIn any event, I'm disappointed. I am going to see if a new league can be started at this time and how long before the deadline is. If anyone is interested in joining an ESPN FF league, I will start one if there is enough interest. If any of you would like to join, please say so immediately or sooner and I will try to put it together.
In fact, I'm going to start one now just to reserve the space and draft time. Let me know if you are interested. I you know others whom might be interested, contact them to inform them of a new league formation and let me know at the DBtrue fans blog-site - http://dbtruefans.blogspot.com/2011/08/preseason-week-3-vs-seadogs.html?showComment=1314659654528#c6450053109751303267 . I will be accepting new team owners until Sept 6th if possible. It's free to join and lots of fun and I will be glad to help any newbies who want to participate. I'll get back with the specifics on dbtruefans once I sign up.
Later guys and GO BRONCOS!
Hey 1st, I am already in an league and really can't do another one. Not sure about everyone else.

ReplyDeleteHey jazzy, 1st is from Denver Broncos True Fans, another blog, the one Digger frequents.
ReplyDeleteYou got my Keepers jazzy, though it hasn't gone completely to plan so far :(
who do you want to keep? I didn't get yours yet.
ReplyDeleteI just did a quick one Sunday after I watched it G. BP can a do much better one I'm sure. Maybe she's busy with the new job though. Oh well, it's only preseason.
ReplyDelete1st, talk to you at true fans.
Jazz, I got to get you my keepers too.
Nate Jones is gone!!!! Yippee.
I couldn't stand nate jons, he was TERRIBLE!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes was really glad to see Nate Jones get cut, he was so baaadddd!
ReplyDeleteJazzy my keepers were Maclin and Tebow, I am sure I told you that, do I need to send you an email or something?
No probs Digger, yeah Princess I believe has been busy with the job.
I think I only want Matt Ryan for now Jazzy. I may tell you another one later, but for now just him.
ReplyDeleteNo, This is good enough. Just as long as I let you know i got em, you are good. So I will plug them in for ya.
ReplyDeleteWhat round will that be for him again?
ReplyDeleteYou can look under the draft central tab under draft results, and it will show you thus far who is being kept by who.
ReplyDeleteA lot of early first round picks are being kept in later rounds! That is a sign that the first round is mostly being taken over by a bunch of up and coming stars. Pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThat will cost you a 7th rounder for McBroncos, haha. You picked him in the 8th round last year.
ReplyDeleteyou are " D is back in Denver" right Digger?
ReplyDeleteOK yeah him for sure. I better change my team name too huh. Computer is not cooperating tonight. Maybe it's the beer I drank. Laters.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I did change my name already didn't I.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its the beer, haha, you are all set for ryan, let me know if there are any others, but email it to me, because I am going to hit the hay. And it is a lot easier for me to get it in an email that I will get for sure, as opposed to a posting i might miss.
ReplyDeleteHaha Digger, don't drink and blog haha.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the fantasy league, I am pumped.
Jazzy I will email you my keepers to make sure.
At Gould what you think of new madden? I got it and was disappointed
ReplyDeleteHey Doc, I haven't got it yet, I have been setting up my new TV and PS3 that I bought. Once I have I will write up a review for it.
ReplyDeleteBut I was totally pumped for it, but what I have read so far has me not so. We will see.
