Graham has always been a physical, vertical player. He used to have agility and some speed as well. If used properly, you can still see some of it. Problem is that Rodgers just doesn't throw to him and he's rarely ran routes that function as a safety valve within the offense.

Also, enough with this blocking TE crap. We have one, his name is Mercedes Lewis and sure he's old, but he probably has one more year left in him.

Might be Keke time. Adams has been okay but mainly unnoticeable through 2 games, which isn't necessarily a bad or great thing. Wouldn't mind seeing Keke get some reps though. 

Might be? More like definitely. Adams was drafted to collapse the pocket and hopefully get a few sacks. He's been banged up his entire pro career, but when he's healthy, he's a great rotational guy. Right now, Keke is slowly proven to be what we thought Adams was when we drafted him.

 

....I'd rather have my cake and eat it too with this one...

I know some have talked about WR Emmanuel Sanders and a potential tire kick

Here's an article on his season to date

https://www.9news.com/article/sports/nfl/denver-broncos/mike-klis/broncos-notes-ironman-sanders-turns-durability-into-production/73-6cd74e04-62b0-4226-9fd6-a062afdda466

It wasn’t only that Emmanuel Sanders tied a career-best with 11 catches in just his second game since double-ankle surgeries at 32 years old. Almost as impressive is Sanders was in on 76 of 82 offensive snaps in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears – 93% – in just his second game after surgery on both ankles at 32 years old.

Moreover, the Broncos were trailing for all but 31 seconds of the second half so Sanders and his receiver mate Courtland Sutton, who played 78 of 82 snaps, had to sprint route after route after route as his team played catch-up.

I'm kind of excited to see Tonyan as a focal point of the offense if Graham can't go. Time to see if we just have a career tease on our hands or a guy that we can pair with Sternburger and sign/draft a blocking TE and have our TE group set for years.

Don't be shocked if our offense looks better without him. Here's the question: if Jimmy is out the next 2 weeks and the offense looks better/more consistent, what do you do with him moving forward? Turn him into a $12.5 million redzone-only player?

"One of the biggest changes has come in how the Broncos coverage shell works on defense. Under Vance Joseph the Broncos played defense like a majority of the NFL: a heavy emphasis on MOFC coverage and eight defenders near the line of scrimmage to help against the run and short passes. With Fangio the Broncos have moved to more MOFO shells with two safeties back and there’s a greater emphasis on match zone. "

 

MOFO is perfect for Tonyan's breakout game     ( middle of field open)
