How's Mexico? Donde esta el bano?

Given your geographical distance from Dove Valley, I guess CEH and I will have to take a more dominant, local role on the Hoop!

This is correct - a debt is owed.

Menelik Watson is having an MRI on his pec today. Can't shake the injury bug.

I know its early but anyone think our D will fall back to middle of the pack and our offense will come up to middle of the back. Do not like what I'm reading from Cravens. I hope Chubb is a difference maker. This sentiment has to really wait until the season ends but not sure what NYG wanted for the #2 Darnold looks like the real deal. He scans the field well for a rookie. Sell the farm could have been the solution.

Holy crap, can't catch a break with this guy. Could be a good break for us though. I have to think he's not in the future plans of the Broncos and putting him on IR would clear him off the roster to make room for the talent behind him.

As I understand it the D style that the Broncos play is susceptible to being taken advantage of by TE's and RB's coming out of the backfield and across the middle on pass plays. It might take adjustments by the DC rather than pure talent to make it work.

I'm hoping the Broncos just don't want to tip their hand on what the defensive schemes are going to be this early in the pre-season.

I am wondering what is the case there as well. The Offense and Defense is more even this year. The D maybe feel off and the O took a small step forward. Or the D is still good and the Offense has taken a huge step. I (sadly) am leaning toward the D falling off some and the O stepping up some.

I feel the same way. Starting to feel like " Fly the friendly skies " instead of no fly zone. Pass rush helps the secondary so they need to get more than their 33 sacks from last year. Easily need 45+

I think our D will be fine. It won't be what it was two years ago, but I think as the season goes it will get better. Our pass rush could be pretty nasty if everyone lives up to their ability, which not everyone has.

What are you reading on Cravens? He has been hurt thus far. So yeah injuries are a concern because he's battled those a lot so far.

His knee is not right.

What are they saying? Details? Something long term?

Sell the farm ? They improved O line, have a viable run game with Barkley, not to forget his receiving abilities to go along with OBJ, Shepard, Engram amount others and a D that finished top 10 2016 ( I believe ). I wouldn't say Giants don't have legit shot at winning division and then some.
