lomaxgrUK Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Sounds like I'm being contrarion, but I thought PJ Locke might get first crack at replacing Simmons. Much more of a pure FS than Sterns, and with Kareem at SS, we will play a ton of Cover 1 and Cover 3.

I get it, but sadly I think we're going to have our S' provide even more run support with our ILB situation. Doesn't sound like Jewell is going to play Week 2. He’s “hopeful” but that’s not great on Thursday to be at that stage. Week 3 seems more likely. FWIW to your point - I think Sterns could very well end up as our 2023 SS, pairing up with Simmons. Think that combo would smash. Edited September 15, 2022 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-mac Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Time for a Jerry Jeudy coming out party 12 catches, 184 yards and 2 TDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234567 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Light practices, zero preseason snaps, and we still got bit with the injury bug. This could be some revisionist history on my part.. But it seems like over the last 5-10 years, the number of guys getting hurt like this has really increased league wide. I don’t recall guys always being out with injuries like this when I was younger. I’ve got three theories: 1) As players continue getting bigger, stronger and faster, the sport is getting harder on their bodies. 2) They used to make guys play through their injuries more often. 3) It’s always been this way and I’m just remembering it wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Captain obvious but let’s see how much improvement we get from ST’s this week. Hard to do much worse. Edited September 16, 2022 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What year did they eliminate two-a-days in camp? I imagine that has some impact. There is a lot less contact and conditioning in camp compared the earlier eras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Josey Jewell is practicing today, but I’d be tempted to still rest him this week. Really need him for SF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Hamler is out. Injuries really starting to mount up now. If Jeudy or Sutton go down we are absolutely rubber ducked. Time for those young WRs to step up. Billy Turner has practiced in full all week but Fleming still to start at RT (for some reason) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoBruin Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Fleming played shockingly well last week, was a force in the run game and didn’t get completely torched in pass pro even though he was dealing with an athletic mismatch in Darrell Taylor who knew the snap count every play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our entire OL seemed to have a decent game and I think PFF said they were the second best OL in week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been really curious how Barry would fill in Kuper and Munchaks shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they’ve learned everything from Munchak and the new guy can just turn the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
