As far as Cannon, I'm spot on. I saw his guy go by him and then he reacted as if suprised.

Cannon wasn't a turnstile any more than Vollmer was.. Let's get real. Fact is that he was facing an All-Pro in Von Miller. Most starting tackles in the league are going to look like turnstiles against him. Could we use an upgrade? Sure.. But where do you find one?

I may be underestimating what some of this group is capable of, but it just felt like the group - whether collectively or as individuals -- didn't do anything to inspire an ounce of fear in opposing defenses down the stretch.Mason, Stork and Jackson are all known to have mean streaks. Jackson and Mason were rookies this year and probably hit the wall. Not to mention that Jackson hurt his knee. A healthy O-line with more experience under their belt plays a lot better than what we saw.
I will say this, Josh Kline's shoulder injury really hurt this team. Not sure what happened to his psyche, but he went from being one of the better O-linemen on the team (behind Vollmer and Solder) to being pretty bad.

While it isn't right to want to injure other players, I thought the Broncos called out the Patriots by threatening Gronk. I would have expected the o-line to take a few shots at people like Harris and Ward on a few plays to soften them up and establish a tone. Instead, the Broncos established the tone and here we are.
Wow. Can't give DeGuglielmo credit? Lose both your starting OTs and still have the O-line perform decently enough to win games.. With your starting Center playing RT? Or having your 5th different LT and 4th different RT?
Not sure what you expect when your that far down your depth chart..
LT:
Solder, Cannon, Vollmer, Fleming, Waddle
RT:
Vollmer, Cannon, Fleming, Stork
Think about that.. That's who played LT and RT this season for the Pats.. Show me another team that does that and makes the play-offs.
I'm all for Lynch coming here for a year.
I just don't think I could trust Blount at this point though. I think his time here is up.
With him you never know though. Seems to be unpredictable.Marshawn Lynch doesn't want to keep playing football and guys like that are done.
steven jackson has nothing left. thanks for the handful of games/enjoy retirement.
maybe we get lucky and draft a decent back somewhere in the midrounds unless bill wastes another pick on special team safety's/garbage wr's like dobson and boyce.
