add to that Demarcus Ware who had a great playoffs and got healthy at the right time, but he's going to be 34
their offense is going to take another step back next year.......their OL is not very good and they have some age there to boot
It was contract time. It's possible he knew he would be getting an offer from Denver also. Teams tamper all the time. I wouldn't say it's probable but it is a possibility.Talib really pisses me off. He gets hurt at the most inopportune times for us (back to back AFCCGs) and very much contributed to us losing those games. Yet, he has been an ironman for the Broncos.
They should still have that defense intact. Possible for a bit longer if Manning's contract comes off the books.
That's a perfect example of what the NFL has done wrong. It was a one yard penalty, and Talib knew that. The issue of player safety never crossed his mind. Talib should be suspended for it, but it's also a sign that the NFL has not done enough to explain why these penalties are penalties.
I don't expect they'll be letting Miller or Jackson go anywhere.
"Players are always trying to rip other players heads off and admit it freely, that's just football. Unless of course it's a Patriots player doing the ripping then it's a despicable act against humanity." - John ClaytonZero evidence about you knowing about taking air out of the ball - 4 games
Admitting to trying to rip someone's head off- 0 games, even though you just got suspended 3 months ago for poking someone's eye.

A simple solution: personal fouls don't get the "half the distance" treatment. If the penalty yardage goes into the end zone then... TD.
This will close the grey area and put a stop to this kind of thing in a hurry.

The other solution in the comments which is even better is to let teams "bank" penalty yardage and then use it whenever they want to. I love this idea, in part because the gap between our coach and almost everyone's else's would become even more evident.
don't hate the player....
....Talib likely ends up on the suspended list week 1 next year.
Miller is getting franchise tagged or at the least getting $14mm/year so that just about offsets if Manning retires/leaves. Marshall, Trevathan, and Malik Jackson are free agents. They did sign Ware, Talib and Ward to weird contract terms that the Broncos can now easily move on from and they will have to cut two of those three in order to keep other players.
I expect their defense to still be good but not like it was this year. They're going to lose people and it's year two of Wade Phillips who isn't that great of a DC in my opinion. I really, really hope they try and open the season against us.
Week 1 - Thursday night should be Patriots AT Denver.
