Broncos claim QB Brandon Allen

[Draft Crazy]

Must have been Bluffman then.

 

[Mingo]

Hopefully, not a Muffman

Spencer is a very good return man, but he lost the 2018 Grey Cup for the CFL championship for Ottawa by fumbling a return - costing his team the championship.

i mean, if you want to hold that over his head, ok.

How one performs when the pressure is on - is relevant - is it not?

So thats gonna happen every time he's in a high-pressure situation in the NFL?

I remember when John Elway couldnt get it done in the Superbowl. Then, he could. Good thing the Broncos kept him around, huh?
Fact is, returning punts and kicks is an art unto itself, most skill position guys are terrible at it. If you have someone who can average over 12-15 yds per punt return, you've got more than most

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWoooooooooooooopigSuie !!!!!!

He is not half bad


his hands are mega small oh well he is our back up and is accurate at least in his throws in high lights

 

[58crash]

I think Rick Upchurch was the last one we had that was worth a damn...

Rod Smith was fun watch also .

Allen finished the Preseason with 431 yards, 0 TD's and 3 INT's.
Hogan finished the Preseason with 311 yards, 2 TD's, 3 INT's.

Not exactly sure how Allen is so much better than Hogan that he's some tremendous upgrade.

Hell we would've been better off Sloter, he has the same regular season experience as Allen but at least he actually looked good in Preseason.

Hogan about killed several of our WR's into getting blew up.

His accuracy is crap.

The Broncos had a guy a few years back - named Trinity Holiday - he had two frequent returns - one was for a touchdown and one was for his return game fumbles.

Stuff happens - even to good players - I understand that, but you have to take the full measure of a guy's work. Canadian leagues have - longer - wider fields - how does that translate?

I am glad to see that you are familiar with this guy and vouch for him - that means something to me.

 

[Draft Crazy]

The Broncos have never had a player by the name of “Trinity Holiday”

One fumble doesn’t bother me. But multiple fumbles like Trindon Holliday are extremely irritating and untrusting.

If Spencer gains our trust then he is surely an upgrade over Cracraft as a returner.

 

[fightinredantz]

We do need something to improve on special teams.

How can these players play 3-4 years of college and come into the NFL and tear tendons by just falling down. Crazy .

 

[Draft Crazy]

People tear tendons in college too.

Without any qualifications of any kind remotely connected to this subject - I would say - it is indicative of not being properly stretched out - that causes muscle tears. I think diet might also be involved. The Broncos switched to the new trainer a couple of years ago and now getting stronger efforts are out of proportion to maintaining elasticity in the muscle groups.

Yeah but that was not my point. I'm sure he tripped and fell multiple times in college and wasn't out for 8 weeks.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Anyone remember the NFL lockout season? Players got a late start. Had a bunch of guys tearing achilles and biceps in camp early on.

Yes flexibility will keep players more healthy and have longer careers.

 

[Draft Crazy]

What? Staying healthy results in longer careers?

Who would have thunk?
