Greg Eslinger selected to All-NFL Europa team.

Big whoop, I know. But, Erik Pears was selected to the same honor a year ago, and he managed to contribute during the regular season. Congrats to Greg.

I actually tuned in to NFLE this season to catch how Greg was doing. He really held his own every down. He plays to the whistle,... and well a little after every play.

Did Cutler get in trouble with the Law last night or something, i swear i heard something on the NFL channel about it, but couldn't find any information.

[JCutlery]

that would suck..

What do you all think Travis Henrys # will be this season for you guys?

[Chris]

I know I don't post here often or anymore, but I did start up a Broncos Blog for people to view.

www.broncosdraft.wordpress.com

With work, school, social life, blog and two other forums I frequent, NFLDC has fallen out of favor as well as FF.

I miss you guys.

Hope all is well.

I'll try and check in from time to time.

NJX, keep pwning newbs.

i did run into him and a big posse at the bars a couple of weekends ago, so a drunk and disorderly would hardly surprise me.

Did you get a chance to touch him? Or breath his air?

Kenny who?

hmm... the off season seems more boring than usual. I guess it's just because our off-season last season entailed a rookie future franchise caller. Come on seasonnnnnn

I thought at least 1 of the cases was dismissed. If so, two games for one misd. conviction seems very inconsistent with other suspensions previously handed down. Not condoning actions or domestic violence just concerned about a visible level of consistency.

havent checked out my teams thread for a few monts thought id stop by...

im highly considering saving up for some broncos tix.. take my dad to a game.. probably be whichever game is on the road for us against the following teams: vikings lions or bears..any other teams close to wi were i reside

Top breakout: Jay Cutler, Denver
Reach 3,200 yards or 24 TDs

Indicative of his keen passing and big-play arm, Cutler threw for two touchdowns in each of his first four contests. His five-game totals of 1,001 yards and nine scores projects to 3,203 yards and 29 touchdowns. However, he will need to reduce his propensity for fumbling after losing two of eight fumbles. But a full off-season, training camp and preseason as Denver's starting quarterback will help him establish a greater rapport with wideouts Javon Walker, Rod Smith and Brandon Marshall, and tight ends Tony Scheffler and Daniel Graham. Add that defenses must respect one of the league's best running games, and Cutler will take advantage of many single coverages to produce big plays downfield.

According to the Denver post, he is expected to be released very soon. He apparently hasn't recovered from his surgery, and will likely not play until 2008.

No, it will be Ferguson. Cox and Abdullah will be the backups.

I saw some pics from training camp and he still looks real thin, despite his comments that he's around 270-275 lbs.

Yeah dude. Our offense is young, but extremely talented. I don't wanna seem like a homer, but...

Javon Walker is excellent and not 30 yet. Brandon Marshall is incredibly underrated, he is big, fast and makes incredible catches(see Cincy game). Tony Scheffler, statistically, was the NFL's best TE in December. While he isn't the best in the NFL, he is pretty damn good, and developed a great chemistry with Cutler last year. And that brings us to Cutler. Let's be honest with ourselves. If he completed 59% of his passes with an 88 rating and almost 2 TDs per INT and nearly 2 TDs per game three years from now, would we be dissapointed? I wouldn't. Well, he did that in his rookie year. The only rookie QB to throw more TDs than picks. And almost twice as many, at that. With a rookie 6th round LT and an inconsistent running game. We get Lepsis back, and add Henry, the offense has the potential to be unstoppable. Of course, knowing my luck, Cutler will turn out to be a bust and our offense will suck. The powers above find it fun to toy with me sometimes. Bastards.

And on D, we are getting older in the secondary unfortunately. We had a strength in two good, young CBs under Champ but obviously now we don't. We also lost our defensive leader, although Lynch will step in well. Unfortunately, he was also our best LB. I don't doubt though that Williams can perform admirably, hopefully Gold plays well and whoever plays SAM can also do well. But, our perennial weakness is potentially going to be our biggest strength in a year or so. Marcus Thomas and Jarvis Moss were huge risks, but if they pan out, could be two of the better players at their positions. Add Tim Crowder, much safer, and a very solid base end, and our DL could be deadly. Or suck. Depending on Thomas and Moss. But I have high hopes, since I'm a homer. So our options are simple: Have a great offense and a good defense(as it all starts in the trenches), have a great offense and a great defense(I'm a homer), or have the Gods hate me and have a ****** offense and defense. I'm hoping it's not the latter. It's definitely an exciting time to be a Broncos fan.
