They added Russel Okung and Donald Stephenson to the OL...LOL.
Mark Sanchez...lol...go ahead and tell me how he's gonna be an upgrade to Manning in some way. The guy has turned it over more than he has scored in his career and is t anywhere near the player Manning is under pressure.
Paxton Lynch is going to be good, IMO...but not right away. 2 years.
Again, the pass rushers and corners are what make this defense go. Malik Jackson is a good player but he was the 5th or 7th best player on our defense. Danny was the 9th or 10th best player on our D. The defense will be fine.
The QB and OL play was awful for the most part last season. Getting Ryan Harris and Michael Schofield out of the starting lineup will drastically improve our OL.
Sanchez might not even start, and if he does the coaching staff won't give him as long of a leash as they gave Manning last year. [Reply]

Clearly you haven't watched Donald Stephenson on a regular basis. There is a reason the Chiefs didn't offer him a contract. [Reply]

Is this the same coaching staff that was forced to replace 4/5 of the starting OL from last season? That's some fine, fine work right there. Great scouts you have...real eye for talent. :-) [Reply]

:-) Dude! Really?? If Denver's Oline coaching is so good, then why is Denver's Oline so abysmal? Stephenson is what he is. KC has a very good Oline coach, as evidenced by the development of everyone on our line that was drafted and developed in KC, with the exception on Schwartz. Fisher, KC 1st round pick at LT, is solid. Ehinger, rookie 4th round pick, RG will start day 1, solid, Morse, C and looks to be special, started day 1 last year, 2nd round pick, and LDT, 6th round pick, LG, solid starter. That is just the guys that this staff has developed into starters. Fulton is a solid backup and better than most of Dungver's offensive linemen.
Tell me again how he Stephenson will benefit from better coaching???:-) [Reply]

The OL was terrible last year because of injuries. Our starting LT had a season ending injury before the season even started and his replacement had a season ending injury 3 weeks into the season. Evan Mathis and Louis Vasquez were playing injured all year long, and we actually had to rotate them in and out of every game last year.
Max Garcia and Matt Paradis are going to be excellent players and if Ty Sambrailo could stay healthy for more than 5 minutes he might be able to develop as well. [Reply]
