Sad But True


In the words of Metallica.......Lets play something heavy now.........

-JfWZFEiLZ0

Up to now...lets hope its been all warm up stuff.


Our problem can be found in the last line of the lyrics....................."Its you............. Sad But True"


Moreno grinded out 60 yds against the Jagwads at 4.0 a clip......

but if CJ2.7 can be held to that measly yardage.....then my hope is we can turn this bus around with continued meshing of the Oline along with a better and better passing game.


This is obviously a result of our Oline and our RBs, of that I have no doubt......but I hate to say it......I dont believe Ive seen worse in all my years here.


BUT....and its a big BUT..........or butt............we're only four games in.


Lets go BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!:salute::salute::salute:

I think the o-line is struggling, sure...

but Maroney?

What is the deal? The guy has all the tools...
but when he gets to the line of resistance...
he just FAILS. Consistantly, he FAILS.

I mean... he is young, strong and athletic.
He is experienced enough...
college and the Patriots....

he should be in his prime.

Is it a supreme lack of confidence?

This could have been a new start for him...
he could have BECOME the great back he has it in him to be...

and we get ZERO production from him.

Worst rushing in the league...
and worst in Denver since the Dinasaur days of the early 70's.

I just dont get it.

Im starting to wonder about our RB coach to be honest with you.


I see the panty shimmy going on in the hole in week one, I dont believe I should be seeing it in week two.

But here it was, week four, and theres MoFo ny doing the panty shimmy in the hole, then getting blasted for a no gainer.


PITIFUL.

That's because Moroney is slow as shit. Am I the only person that sees the difference between the way Moroney hits the hole and Buckhalter hits the hole? Jesus...it's a night and day difference...

I said when we signed him, Maroney sucked in NE, no reason to think he would be better here. The fans HATED him and some I know laughed that Josh took another reject. In his defense, he isn't the only RB on our roster that is lacking in talent. It's pretty much accross the board.
Everything about our running game is in dire need of improvement. The RB's, the OL, the coaching and play calling. If it doesn't improve you can bet Orton will get hurt. Teams can key on the pass and blitz without ANY fear of our running game.

All i know is that Ellis is the same size but 5 pounds lighter and runs downhill. None of our backs run downhill which is sad.

the down hill running would def help our backs..teh dancing doesnt, moreno seems to get that at times and then misses reads at otehr times.....maroney well i just wont comment on that...buck seems to delay more this yera to the hole than last, which really says somethin gfor how slow maroney is when buck isnt fast like last yera but still faster than maroney:lol:

We had our problems in the early 70's, but running wasn't one of them. On the other hand, I present to you the 1967 Denver Broncos, who averaged a whopping 3.0 YPC. It was Floyd Little's rookie year, and he was awful, so hopefully that will be a precedent. He started coming around in 68 and really tore up the League in '69. The rest of the stiffs were totally forgettable apart from a washed up and worn out Cookie Gilchrist

It is scary that we are that much worse right now than the 67 bunch.
