I saw some of the replay last night... looked like they were forcing a lot to Cody at WR and he came up short a number of times. Yeah, Peyton got sacked and threw an INT... it's not the end of the world.
I agree but he really looked shitty. The throws to he end zone were terrible. One got picked one got deflected. That 3rd and goal play he got blasted. I'm sure he's still feeling that one lol. [Reply]
I'm sure he hasn't looked crisp... he's old. But, still one of the best and while he can't sling it down field 50 yards like he used to... that hasn't been their game on offense.
CJ, Daniels.. two great short route options and DT and Sanders run the short routes well with huge YAC.
It really hasn't been a stretch the field passing game... but the key is they have a lot of options in the passing game. And, when he does throw deep, he's still a threat. [Reply]

I don't think I've ever said he was the next great RB.... he's incredibly 'more than serviceable' and a very good player. If it's a product of Manning, fantastic... not sure the point of your comment. [Reply]

I'm sure it's kind of freaking the Broncos fanbase out....all off-season, they bought the narrative that his declining arm strength was due to a quad injury. He's healthy now...and it might actually look worse. [Reply]

You guys are seriously underestimating how weak their defensive line is. Their pass rush and secondary are great, but a team like ours should be able to run the ball all day. Their starters are average at best and they have no depth/rotation. [Reply]
Welp, Elway did it again. Shane Ray is the highest graded first round pick so far in the preseason...

Ray has been a force throughout preseason, and is a little unlucky that second-year teammate Shaquil Barrett is stealing his thunder and doing even better. Ray has a sack in each of his last two games and has graded positively against both the run and pass in each preseason outing. He will have to fight for playing time during the season, but could have a real impact as a situational option.
