Lloyd played lights out in preseason so he deserves a shot. Thomas I think is licking his chops to get back in and show what he's got though. It's good to know we have solid depth at such a questionable position a few months ago.

Also, the new TE Gronkowski is already 2nd.

I'm suprised Sydquan isnt on special teams somewhere.

Beadles was moved to RT. I don't know if this was because of a Ryan Harris injury that is worse than originally thought or because he wasn't looking all that great at LG and was beat out. Might be a temporary thing until Harris is healed.

Hmm, kinda surprised Tebow is still listed at #3 even though he came in ahead of Quinn in each of the last 2 games.

Yeah but Tebow will actually get to play in the game on certain situations and Quinn won't.

One thing that stands out: Jason Hunter is penciled in as starter as OLB AHEAD of Jarvis Moss. I guess the coaches like what they saw from Hunter at OLB in his short time. Doesn't do any good for Moss at all. And surprised that Dan Gronkowski is already as the #2 TE. Beadles should be the starting RT by the start of the season and Daniels is at LG. I was hoping that Beadles would be at LG, but I like that he's starting regardless of what position.

Moss disapeared the last couple of preseason games. You can't be invisible and expect to start.

I hope Hunter pans out. Don't know a whole lot about him.

Being a pass rush specialist is likely best for both the Broncos and Moss.

A few mini surprises.

Hunter in front of Moss with all of the talk of Moss's great off season and TC.

Quinn being behind a TE we just traded for, who reportedly was on Detroit's chopping block, and who can't possibly know the playbook as well as Quinn.

Finally, not so much a surprise as interesting, and that is Quinn/Tebow. Assuming this is the depth chart going into week 1, then that presumably leaves two possibilities. First, Tebow is inactive as the emergency QB, and won't be used in the Wildcat or other specialty packages. Second, that the Broncos will have three QBs active on game day, which means they will have to sit a player at another position (like say, LB).

I'm a little unsure of what Beadles role is. I thought they were hoping to convert him to guard, but either they didn't think he was a great fit there or maybe the coaches feel like we're too thin at tackle with Harris gimpy. I'm curious as to whether he'd be starting at LG over Daniels if Harris and Clady were both 100%... But I assume not since he's listed as the #3 RG.

I'm guessing Hunter and Moss will split time based on run/pass situations. Not thrilled about a guy (Hunter) being listed as our starting OLB when he was a 4-3 DE 2 weeks ago. And that doesn't say much for Moss either. It reminds me of our revolving door safety position a couple years ago when we were pulling guys off the streets on a weekly basis (Calvin Lowry ring a bell?)

where folks are listed on the depth chart is pretty much moot come game day.

I mention that, as I'm pretty sure that Tebow will be dressing as the backup QB and Quin will be #3 on game day.

I do not believe for a minute that Tebow will not be on the field game day in certain situations like third and short or near the goal line.

The vanilla playbook is no longer and there will be surprises come game day.

Harris is out with an ankle sprain which explains Beadles not starting at RG.

I was just thinking that myself. Since Reid is gone Moss might be able to fill that role.

Moss is a bit too much of a one trick pony to be able to be more than a sure passing down player.

[QUOTE]

What I read, not sure where, possibly on Twitter from a beat writer (possibly in a Andrew Mason article), was that Stanley Daniels beat out Beadles for the starting job. Daniels was an undrafted free agent and I believe spent two years on the practice squad, I know that last year was on GB's practice squad, not sure about the year before.

Supposedly, he's supposed to be more of a power guard and didn't fit with Green Bay's zone blocking (according to Rotoworld).

Thinking the same thing. Mays can get the corner and has good speed. I think he will play multiple roles for the D. Lots of delayed blitzes too. He even looks alot like Doom. Might be able to develop this kid as a Joker.

Beadles is playing Tackle positions becuase of injuries. he can play anywhere on the line, and will do so throughout the year. Man, that was a good pick.

gotta agree here, i hated the pick at first, and i mean hated it.....but its nice to see him hack it a bit.....having a legit swing tackle for a change(thank god polumbus is no longer are only option)will be relatively nice. I aint gonna lie, I love Ryan harris but Im tired of seeing that guy hurt every year. Hopefully Beadles can lock onto the RT slot and make harris trade bait down the road......harris's injuries are really starting to affect the Team. It ceratinly is becoming a situation where we need a legit option, hopefully beadles is it

also knowing beadles can play LG/RG just makes him more valuable when injuries strike.....he is like a newer younger version of hochstein, but in a good way:lol:

I don't dislike the pick by any stretch, and it isn't unusual for an O-lineman to not crack the starting lineup the first year, but to put it in perspective. The LG spot was his to lose. He and Walton were given the starting role in TC, and Beadles lost it to an undrafted free agent who spent two years on a practice squad.

So, it doesn't mean that he won't be valuable down the road, or filling in for Harris in the short term, but the excitement needs to be tempered by the fact that he couldn't hold a job that was handed to him.

well beadles played tackle in college, LT to be exact, those expecting him to not have growing pains at LG were kidding themselves....its not easy for a 6-6 315 lb tackle to just convert to guard like some would like to think. this was actually a big reason why i hated the pick when i found out the teams plans for him. and it isnt a bad thing at all that a UDFA Guard won the LG spot, that UDFA guard was on the PS in GB becasue he is a power guard in a ZBS system, that is never gonna work as we found out last year ZBS interior players cant hack it in a power scheme, in the end thats actually good for us, becasue now we have a legit option backing up clady and harris where he belongs, and a big nasty guard playing guard in a scheme he fits.......

Hey, I had no expectations for him, that was McDaniels who made him the starter there and didn't even give any other guards work the first two or three games of the preseason, since he was so convinced that Beadles was the guy.

man, richard quinn being dropped to third string for a guy we just dug out of the trash a few minutes ago is beyond pathetic. . . :lol: i don't know if it's because he's been hurt or if he's just a bum, but getting jumped on the depth chart by guys that absolutely shouldn't be is far from a great sign-- we saw how that worked out for phonse. . . i'd love to see some of that offensive tackle level blocking this kid can supposedly provide, but my gut says quinn's more likely to go the way of smith next year. . .

obviously gotta give beadles a couple years, but i fear he could end up being an extremely costly backup. . . that was the pick i liked the least this year. . .

While brandon lloyd can make the most amazing catches once a game... not a good thing to see as your #1. The o-line and front 7 are going to really have to pull this entire team this year to do good IMO

I agree. O-Line is concerning as well as Linebackers. RB is weak due to injuries. I'd say WR and DB/S is the only area where there are good starters AND backups.

I can only hope (and trust) that we play well as a team, and that the whole is better than each individual player.

Disagree, Think LB and O-line looks most promising.

Biggest concern I have is NT/DE/WR/RB depth/CB depth

I actually like our O-Line, it's young and will go through some growing pains this year for sure, but in 2-3 years we will have a top 5 starting OL. We could use some better depth though, I can't argue that.

I don't like our WRs. The young guys are injured and when you have Lloyd and Gaffney as your top 2 targets...just yikes.

Jeez, can't we ever discuss Dick and Cox without turning it into something obscene? Let's be mature, there are plenty of Dicks and Cox in the NFL.

Anyway, it was a horrible pick and he won't ever be worth it, but hopefully we'll at least be able to throw our Dick at the defense every once in a while to protect Orton.

Was he the guy, T, or just the best he had, and wanted to get him 'seasoned' I think it was a smart thing, to have him getting all that work in, along with JD. It'll only help in the end. Not like there's a wall that Olinemen hit like rb's/wr's.

Slow Eddie.......but sly.

You can't tell how good/bad a team will be, before they play. Sure...ya gotta have talent. But heart/smarts plays a big part as well....followed by scheme.

Of course a player or two can have a breakout year, but you can't expect every player on your team to have breakout years. To win a superbowl, you need more talent than what we currently have on the roster.

Oh, and we have an awful coach. Just saying.

I wouldn't put too much stock in it. My guess is Dick sees the field a lot Sunday especially with Clady not 100% and Harris out. I bet he will be protecting the edges quite a bit.

I mean Tebow is still behind Brady and Squid is behind Nate Jones.

is it? our two starters are good, but behind them we have one vet who was less than spectacular in preseason and three rookies taken in the 5th, 7th, and UDFA.

sure the rooks looked good in preseason, but preseason is a different animal than the regular season. until they show they can handle the job in the regular season, we have some serious ??? in our CB depth imo.
