But cutting a guy we sit on Sundays to start his time practicing after this bye week (since we aren’t actually practicing) is is a no brainer if that’s what is needed to get him out there. The injury call as the reason is just cover. Lock should be backup over Rypien if that's what you're referring to. Worst comes to worse if he comes in before he's ready we can limit the offense to make him comfortable I just wanna see him against NFL competition.

He was on the bench in 2003 (his rookie year), and started at RT for three years before being traded to Detroit in 2007. Matt Lepsis was the LT until 08 when Clady was drafted. I remember wanting either Foster or Stanford's Kwame Harris (another LT) with Denver's first rounder. Was wrong on both guys. I am checking the Walter Football archives now. They considered Harris a first-round pick, but they didn't have Foster going until Round 3 (I can't find their draft grades, but I remember reading that Walter wasn't high on Foster). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a 21st bday party in Alantic City at best damn sports Bar. Was yelling at the TV pick Russell Wilson pick Russell Wilson. My friend who's party it was said Elway isn't gonna do that he doesn't want Manning to fear for his job joking around. So I say, worry about the Eagles who haven't won a title since 1960. Brock is the pick and I never wanted to fly out to Denver just to kick Elway in the nuts so bad. You can say it was because of height(Elway loves tall QBs bs), or because he didn't want Manning to fear for his job. He signed Case Keenum 6'1 for 18 mill annually, and By all accounts liked Baker Mayfield 6'1. I had Wilson graded as a Rich mans Senneca Wallace would of been the perfect backup to Peyton and the perfect transition. If he ever gets canned that's his biggest downfall in my heart of hearts. More than Lynch over Dak. Nate Lundy (now of Mile High Sports. Back then, he was with 104.3 The Fan) also hated the Osweiler pick. He said that Oz only was successful for one year in college, and only left because the coach left, and he didn't want to change systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elway aided in me winning 200 dollars at the roulette table that night, but he also aided in me drinking a 40 in 10 min and a double shot of wild Turkey, getting lost on the board walk. I didn't win or lose that night. Well I view Tebow and the qb situation similarly to the Bolles situation. Elway trading Tebow for a 4th basically made it a shoe in to go qb early. Bolles(loaded tackle class)is the Tim Tebow(loaded qb class came after) of Left tackles has a lot of tools but something is missing. I see a similar approach to solving that issue. Trade Bolles for a 4th, look to upgrade via trade or free agency, draft one round 2 at the latest to develop while said draft pick develops behind free agent.

He was raw, but he was nasty, and this was the offseason after Elway complained about how soft everyone was. He also has a propensity to look at local talent. Elway, I can promise you, was not considering the long-term value retention of the Bolles pick. We had no OT, his hand was forced, and the pick was telegraphed. I'm sure he talked himself into it. Well - at the very least McCoy talked him into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He his tall with long arms and a plus athlete for his size. I think one thing was they said when he was picked was that they wanted him to add a little muscle mass but that's all. The guy is physically built to play LT but, as I said at the time and as we've all come to learn now, he doesn't have it between to the ears. Someone pointed out somewhere than when you look at how Wilkinson and Bolles react to the snap, Wilkinson is out of his stance way before Bolles even moves. he just seems to be totally unaware of what is going on around him.

I stand by everything I said there and I tend to lean optimistic on here @AnAngryAmerican takes care of my negative outlook lol. I think Brock had he resigned would of been a top 15 game manager in this offense for two years instead he chased money and poor scheme fit in Houton. -I also compared the move to the Oakland Palmer trade and it was good if you look at it from that aspect. With all that being said on draft night I wanted Russell Wilson soooooooo bad. He was 24 at the time I believe and Brock was 22. We chose a true Backup with upside over a pro ready instant offense guy because we didn't want Manning to fear for his job by all accounts. Since that night I realize you should never not draft a qb for the fear of a locker room division. You draft to make the Denver Broncos the best they can be long term.

7DnBrnc53 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I went to that link, and I looked up the Bronco mock I did for that year. I had Denver taking QB Ryan Lindley (thank goodness that didn't happen). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
