Denver and New England at it again. This time the Broncos acquire offensive tackle Russ Hochstein from the Patriots for late-round 2010 pick
I'm thinking Kaczur slides into RG next year. Vollmer plays RT. We need to extend our other G.
First Le Kevin Smith, now Hochstein; so much for the concept of the roster being already set and all but a couple of players being "locks" to make the team.
Numerous words sprinkled with punctuation.
other than injury concerns is there any valid reason why you wouldn't want him back? he is nasty especially at pulling and geting up field in th screen game.
I agree that the last roster spots go to players for their play on special teams, regardless of the position they play. For example, look back to Larry Izzo or Kelly Washington. Technically the roster had one more linebacker and one more receiver, but their making the team had nothing to do with their 'official' position. Those rosters would not have changed at all if, for example, Izzo was a safety and Washington a running back.I also think a 9th OLman is infinitely more important than a 4th TE. Nice to have 4 good TEs, and Dyvrss hasn't done anything to hate either. But again its a LUXURY! This is a team who had problems on Defense and STs. This is where the extra roster spots need to go.
We need a 4th ILB MORE than a 3rd QB, especially if Hoyer makes it to the PS, which is a 99% surefire reality. This 4th ILB would be a key STer as well as depth in a position where injury is a much bigger factor than back up QB.
I am REALLY hopping BB gives these three roster spots to the areas of the team (defense, and STs) that were our weakest. The reality is that at best I can hope for is 2.
I think BJGE represents really REALLY good insurance at RB. I would go 2 QB's (Hoyer to PS, Walter to Pager Duty), and 3 TE's. That leaves room for an extra RB and an extra Lineman.
I don't think it would be heartbreaking this year to see LawFirm hit a new team and do well. But it would hurt by next year if we couldn't replace him.
I'm worried about Morris' durability, and everyone loves the other three so much, I'd vote to keep 5.
Neal is thoroughly underated. I think he is the BEST pulling Guard in football. I expect that the Pats will resign him next offseason since he doesn't have a lot of negotiating strength, due to the combination of age, 33, and injury history.
Walter is not going to pager duty. He would likely be one of the best #3 QB's in the league for someone else if we choose to cut him.
