Dillon Day Appreciation Thread

[Draft Crazy]

The man finally saw the active roster for 1 game in 3 years and we cut him to go back on the PS and the Colts claimed him.

Thanks for all your hardwork in practice and keep Mingo excited about your hairstyle Mr. Day.

Every Dillon has his Day. I had great hopes for him. It didn't take long for him to get picked up by the Colts.

He can join former teammate Henry Kreiger-Coble car pooling to practice.

Hard to fathom that an O-Lineman cut from Denver would make another team, unless a bottleneck of under-performers are holding up the development of our younger talent...

Honestly it should just be a showing of how bad the NFL OL talent truly is. I know the Bronco OL has been terrible but I would say they are very close to league average. They are a top-10 run blocking unit and probably about 20-24 in the pass blocking department. There are worse OL's than the Bronco unit right now.

The coach for the LA Chargers just recently talked about the new style of QB play needed to be good in the NFL. He said that if they don't have a way of running or at least being somewhat a threat of running they just will struggle to be a top level QB. There are still some traditional pocket passers making it work like Brady but those type of players are becoming less and less. They are just not trained that way in college football anymore and because of that you either have to wait a few years while a player learns to become that type of QB and deal with the consequences of needing a few years to develop or go with the new style of QB and have a quicker turnaround for success.

At this point of the season with bodies going down you gotta take anyone you can with some experience. Day at least has experience being on a PS for 3 years. No game experience but he understands the game at least.

Wait until about the last 3 weeks of the season guys like Ronnie Hillman just may reappear, that is when you know it's getting late into the season.
