There is no defending Ramirez - he was pathetic until we moved him around, and even then, it was the performances of guys like Vasquez who compensated

The thing with McManus was the last straw

Ramirez is not a starting caliber OL in the NFL

Please don't compare him on FGs to Gronkowski ....

Read this how you like, but McManus is the co-founder of the "Anti Bully Squad"

Here's the only footage I could find of the 70 yarder

It is closer to a spiral than some of Manning's ducks last season

If he can hit 40 yarders on a consistent bases I am down. Did not see him do that last year, but a lot can change in a year.

Matt Prater was pretty bad on field goals his first year with Detroit and became just a kickoff specialist on Detroit and Miami before improving a lot to make our team.

70 yarders are exciting but if he hits one here and there it won't warrant him a roster spot. He won't be attempting many of those throughout a season.

I just hope we don't need two roster spots for two kickers again.

Barth was pretty consistent last year but can't kick off. McMiss was terrible but can boot the ball to Europe.
I'm not so sure.....

Doubt we risk the field position unless it is end of half/game.

I am not sure I would want to get into a physical fight with Del Rio.... But it does appear as if things went South with Del Rio in a hurry last year. Glad we have moved on.

I could see us giving McManus a shot at the end of a half at a 60+ FG as long as we feel confident about our special teams and don't fear a runback.

Yup. That is the time to try the 60 plus field goals... End of a half and game.

Elam/David Akers and Prater all tied/broke the record at the end of the first half.

Really? I hope Elway kicked his butt. Can't stand Del Rio.

Yeah supposedly they had to both be restrained. I'm guessing Del Rio would have won that fight as those present I guess talked that he had that look of murder in his eyes kind of thing. From what I understand Elway is a very driven man that expects results. When he doesn't get those results he does not hide his frustration. It is why he has bumped heads with some at different times. We now have though a coaching staff that most of them have worked with Elway in some way at some point so they should know what to expect.

I think fans are speculating too much on what went down with Fox, Del Rio and Elway last year. Quite frankly I am past it... We may never know. Who cares at this point?

It is very relevant as Del Rio is now the head coach of our number one rival - arguably one of the greatest rivalries is sports

The Broncos vs The Raiders

We need some spice, esp since Al Davis passed away, and esp since the Raiders have been so bad in recent years

Dennis Allen didn't fire up the rivalry

Del Rio does, esp if the story is true w/ him and Elway
