Next man up.
Next man up.
It's never a good thing or ok thing when you lose your leading tackler from previous year. Not sure about Marshall as replacement. I was actually surprised because I really haven't heard anything or seen anything that would justify him being the next man up. Guess I must of missed all the praise from coaches,etc. I fig McCray might have been next in line. Either way and no matter how long he's out, it's going to hurt a lot more than some may think. Hurry back DTrev.
I heard a report on Comcast here in the East today where they said that Denver will not bring him back fast. The report said that Week 8 of the regular season is the target right now. They really don't want to him to try to do too much too fast.
Also really good article if you have some time to read. Mostly the last question was my favorite. It talked about the impact that Von Miller makes to this defense. You add in the additions we have made and man this defense can be dangerous...

Sorry to hear about Trevathan.
Seattle is deep at LB and will have to make some tough decisions for that position.
Personally, I would love to trade one of our LB's to you guys even though I expect it to be a pick near the end of the round.

Hopefully we won't need that to happen. The Broncos have a lot of potential at the Linebacker position, but of course potential is a pretty deadly word. The fact that Trevathan is expected to miss maybe 3 games (stinks if he can't play against Seattle) will probably make the team decide to go with what we have instead of trade. Now if another Linebacker goes down it wouldn't surprise me if Seattle got a phone call. So hopefully that is not the case and we can survive until Trevathan gets back out on the field. Thankfully right now the Secondary and Defensive Line look as good and deep as I have seen for the Broncos in a very long time. Hopefully they can help cover up the loss of Trevathan with a guy like TJ Ward playing a little more linebacker in the Nickel formation. I know that means we are pretty light and teams might try to run on some of those 3rd and longs but I still like the chances of this team getting a stop.
How is the OL for Seattle looking at practice? I know that was the weak spot last year but didn't know if there is a bit more hope for this year at the position? How is Britt looking as a rookie? I actually liked him in the draft.
With such little data to go on, you know about as much as me.
In our PS game we started Sweezy at RG and Britt at RT. The other position starters were backups.
I went to the VMAC for TC practice this last Tuesday. Okung, Carp, Unger, Sweezy, and Britt got to play together for a bit. Most likely that will be our starting 5. If not Britt at RT, it should end up being Winston as the starter.
Britt looks ok so far. Sometimes he is in the right spot and able to use his leverage, other times...a rookie getting his welcome. I hope he pans out as we do need improvement along our OL.
I expect improvement at Ol compared to last year mainly because it is hard for a unit to suck that bad 2 years in a row.Health will matter in this position as we do not have quality depth at OL.
