Default Denver Breakdown (Divisional Playoffs)

4/5/2007 Note: Don't mind this thread, I just wanted to get some stuff I did last year online.

I've already started simply because I want to console myself that we outplayed the Broncos in most areas.

I'm also looking to see where we need to improve on for 2006, and the offensive line is a big one. Light and Koppen will obviously help, and the growth and maturity of Kaczur and Mankins should put the icing on the cake. Chiefs, anyone?

I've already seen poor offensive line play in this game, as well as many other games. It wasn't Corey folks. He had absolutely no line to run behind.

We're set on the OL if we re-sign Neal with, I assume :

Light, Mankins, Koppen, Neal, Kaczur.

If Neal leaves we can either toss a Hochstein or Yates type in or sign a guy as Guards are usually relatively cheap. Also, some thought Kaczur would be best at Guard, a Light, Mankins, Koppen, Kaczur, Gorin line is possible too.

Neal had a lesser year than I expected with penalties and lookout blocks. I once thought he'd be expensive to sign, now I'm not sure he gets a big offer unless the Browns and Jeff Davidson make him a big offer with all their cap room.

Thanks to you and Box for all your dedication and determination. I know the we're a better team talk sounds like sour grapes to some folks, but to anyone who followed this team closely it was painfully apparent last night. As BB probably told them before the game, if we execute we win. We simply didn't execute on offense, and it all begins (and ends) with the line play. More than anything their performance determines how we game plan and how the gameplay unfolds. Last night it resulted in the team being put in some predictably unfortunate situations. For the sake of our HOF QB's long term health it is imperative that we get that nailed down for 2006. He's getting hit way too much, he needs his TE's free to run routes, and he needs a running game. There is talent to work with, Light and Koppen will return, and as you say rookies to mature, but I'm just not certain that will be enough because they were just not getting anything done consistently well from day 1.

The OL played against a fine offensive effort. They looked pretty good on pass defense starting the second half. In any case, I agree that problem is certainly not Dillon's.

I think that it amazing how good the line did perform over the past few weeks with
1) Light and Koppen out
2) Two rookies starting next to each other with a backup center
3) A backup LT (#3 or #4) starting
4) A medicore talent at RT

for 2006 compared to yesterday,

TACKLES
Light will be back
Kaycur will compete with Gorin for the RT spot
Kaycur will be much better, with experiece and another camp

CENTER
Koppen will be back
Hochstein is now a very experienced backup

GUARDS
Mankins will be much better, with experiece and another camp
Hochstein will compete with Neal (or whichever fa is signed) for the RG spot

OVERALL
The OL will be better because they will have consistency, with amybe four players playing together every week.
----------------------------

BOTTOM LINE
We will sign a couple of free agents, which could be Neal and Ashworth, and the OL will get better. But make no mistake, they did very well this year.

It's a damn shame but it happens. Turnovers on the road will kill you.

The team playing from behind usually has better passing stats. It's called playing catch-up!

Haven't you ever watched a football game before? Jeeesh, you are a moron!

Do you have any stats to back that up? I didn't think so.

What's the matter, don't you have the balls to go to the Colts or Steelers boards to pound on your chest and tell them how you are going to crush them.

Well, do ya, punk.

Please. The game was handed to the Broncos..that was clearly the case.

How sad because now the AFC Championship will be a dull one sided thrashing of the Broncos.

A tired act. We saw it for two consecutive weeks last year.
