Good Things....

Bradley Roby named Week 7 NFLPA Community MVP 

I don't know if this will catch on with the folks here, but I have the thought we need to have a place to post good news about the Denver Broncos and their players. This Bronco's team in particular seems to have a lot of good guys doing community stuff.

Congrats to Roby for being recognized for his community involvement.

Good thread to have. Need some more positive stories circulating rather than what player got suspended for doing such and such.

Hmmmmm........good things. @randymon has been incredibly civil of late. That's a good thing. The running game picked up steam last week and that's a good thing. Mingo, Springstein and Draft Crazy seem to be talking to each other again and that's a good thing. CD and iknowfootball have shortened their posts by 6 words on average (now only 994 words!) and that's a good thing. I know that there is so much more but I'm saving it for occasional inserts to breathe life into this thread from time to time.

The Squeeze: Brandon McManus' anti-bullying organization gets nod from Sports Illustrated 

Brandon McManus is an anti-bullying activist. Great way to have an impact on the lives of ordinary kids.

[I'm going to guess - he got picked on in college because he was only a "kicker."]

 

[Draft Crazy]

Good stuff Mango. Like hearing Roby is involved. He surely had some character concerns coming out and nice to see he has matured at the NFL level and is doing good things.

Just like Jones

Besides they can win regardless so it's easier to do these moves

Money is one thing but passrushers aren't that easy to find. Especially one that can cover as well as anyone which makes him particularly valuable with all these receiving RB's running around these days. Weird move.

Baffles me.

Such a great cover LB. One of the stranger moves I have seen a team make at the deadline who is in SB contention.

Well this is where GM Belichick sometimes gets in the way of Head Coach Belichick. I mean even if they let him walk in the off season they probably get a 3rd round comp pick with what he would have gotten on the open market so essentially the Patriots moved up maybe 32 spots in the draft? And if I remember right this is a 2018 3rd round pick so any time it is a year later most value it as a draft pick lower so more like that of a 4th round pick. Weird move but may be to the benefit of the Broncos not having to face him.

Belichek is trying to psych out his opponents - the Pats are so loaded he have to sell off some players to get some future value for the guys.

Well the story circulating now is that he had it out with some of the coaches as they were not happy that he would improvise on some plays which left the team vulnerable to where he was supposed to be on a given play. Very talented player but if he thinks he knows better than the coaches he is in for a rude awakening in the league.

Love reading these stories. I know the negative ones get all the attention these days but man there really are some great guys in the NFL doing some great things with their star power.

My man Talib - taking care of bidness this year - staying out of trouble. Great to see the Dbacks give back to the community. Good on Talib - as well.
