But, while I am a bit of a health freak, give me a fast-food burger and some fries, and I am a happy man...tis a a weakness, which is so horrible for you. Mainlining tequila is probably for you; you know, no carbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizmo78 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Seems like Forsyth is getting an opportunity with the 1's today and the O-line is supposedly looking better. Also, Zach Wilson seemingly out of the QB competition, being regulated to 3rd string today when it's reported today should have been his day with the 1's.

Many times it's giving a player his final chance in the optimum situation. Get it done early in camp and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 from your old buddy, Dalton... Dalton Risner on rookie J.J. McCarthy: “J.J., I mean, I see why they drafted the dude in the first round and at the pick that they did. Because he’s a good dude. He’s a good human being. He’s a stud. I love what they’re doing with him; they’re not just throwing him in the fire right away. I think they’re giving him time to develop. I’d put all my chips on that dude in a couple years, man.” MinnesotaVikingsPro.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He effectively said the same stuff about Drew Lock and well....we know how that turned out. Not saying JJ won't be good, just saying take specifically Risner's words with a grain of salt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Sutton got a reworked deal can make 2.2 million on top of his base salary honestly I'm not mad at it it's still a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think Sutton expected the front office to cave a little and they didn't flinch. So to help him save face they offered some additional incentives. I was curious whether they were likely or not likely to be earned and this is what I found: (Note: The past 3 years he's averaged 792 yards and has only topped 800 yards once in his career.) "JULY 30: This is actually a $1.7MM incentive package. A three-tiered setup is now in place for the seventh-year receiver. Sutton can collect $500K if he totals 500 receiving yards and the Broncos improve on their 2023 point total or average yards per pass attempt, KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson tweets. These two conditions are in place for the next two $500K escalators — at 750 and 1,065 yards, respectively. The final $500K bump can also be achieved if Sutton hits 900 receiving yards and the Broncos rank in the top 10 in yards per pass play. The Broncos scored 357 points last season — well up from their 287-point debacle in 2022 — and saw Russell Wilson average 6.9 yards per attempt (21st). The final $200K would be available if the Broncos snap their playoff drought and Sutton either hits 1,500 receiving yards (his career high is 1,112, which came in 2019) or scores 10 touchdowns. Sutton did finish with 10 TD grabs last season." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't wanna set a bad precedent and this does none of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if Nix will pan out long term, I’ll need to see him in real games against real defenses, before I will say his ceiling is higher than average/journeyman starter. But sitting him when, as I and others including the reporter in the article linked have said, his selling points where maturity, experience, and processing absolute, makes no sense. Nix, even though he’s been at best hit and miss from the litany of reports I’ve read, should not only start he should be given the majority if not all of the first team reps beginning tomorrow. Sean should be a good enough coach to recognize that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really pleased at the emphasis they've been putting on the OL and running game. That will make a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
