Didn't want to start a thread but hopefully this isn't serious. Could effect the depth chart if he isn't able to go though...

Broncos LB Danny Trevathan injured his knee in practice today. Not sure how serious but had to be carted off. Would be a tough loss

****. Injuries could derail this team. Maybe they will play straight up nickle defense against the Cowboys.

When Von gets back they can play Irving at MLB and move Woody back to his old position. That is, if Irving can play at all at MLB. If Trevathan wasn't hurt, I bet Von would be a DE on passing downs with Woddy and Trevanthan at LB.

Yeah, this is fine, but at the very least, it hurts our depth. I was really hoping to see Trevathan, Woodyard and Von out there at the same time.

Mike Klis -
If WLB Danny Trevathan is seriously hurt, Steve Johnson would likely be next man up. Said Johnson:
“My goal coming into the season was to be a starter,’’ said Johnson, a second-year undrafted free agent from Kansas. “That didn’t happen. I don’t wish anybody getting hurt but if I’m asked to step up and get on the field, like I told Wood when we came off the field today: I looked him in the eye and said I will not let you down.’ If I get some playing time, I’ll be ready.’’

from article:
The Broncos had a scare, but they were relieved to learn an MRI exam on Trevathan's knee was negative.
He is still questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Is Dreesen still #2 TE because of the injury, or Orange Julius finding the end zone? Combination? I still like Dreesen best as all around TE; he blocks AND catches well in a league where most do one or the other.

I think if you watch the games it's glaringly obvious why Thomas is the number one TE.
It's obvious Thomas lights up the scoreboard (as previously noted) but, since the camera usually follows the ball, three real games watched via laptop aren't enough to draw firm conclusions about his blocking. I've seen enough of Dreesen over the years to know he's a good receiver AND blocker though, but also know he's hurt. Thus the question.

Thomas is also improving his pass blocking a lot each game. He is becoming a very well rounded TE.

Thanks for the clarification. How 'bout his run blocking? Or is it still true NO receiver can start in Denver without run blocking well?

Tamme isn't a very good blocker but he started ahead of Dresseen last year.

Not according to NFL.com: They show Dreesen with 15 starts and Tamme with 8. We ran 2 TE often enough I wasn't always sure who had precedence, since they were frequently on the field together. Right now all the online depth charts show Thomas-Dreesen-Tamme, but all the injury reports still show Dreesen nursing his knee injury (though he's apparently moved from Questionable last week to Probable this week.)
As long as whoever's out there is getting it done it's not a big deal, but since Moreno's the only back who's consistently performed as a runner I really wish they'd put Dreesen out there if healthy. He's a pretty good receiver in his own right (41/356 and 5 TDs last year to Tammes 52/555 and 2 TDs) but an excellent all around blocker.

I like the fact that Julius can block decent enough. Someone posted a stat. JT runs routes like 70% of the time that he's on the field. Guys like Jimmy Graham and others are basically WRs, because they run routes like 95% or more while on the field.

Dresseen played last week and I'm sure the coaches staff knows what it's doing.

Don't get me wrong, I like receiving TEs—I just dislike one-dimensional offense. If we had multiple backs grinding defenses into the dirt Thomas' run blocking relative to Dreesens wouldn't concern me. But Moreno's the only one who's reliably produced this year, and we are overflowing with productive receivers. Until one or both those things changes I'll be more comfortable with a solid receiver and blocker than one slightly better receiver and slightly worse blocker. Manning will get his yards and TDs regardless, but sooner or later he'll throw a pick; even if he doesn't, we'll eventually need to salt away a slim fourth quarter lead.

Hope so. Just because he played doesn't mean he's 100% though, and if he's not that and Orange Julius' scoring is more than enough reason not to start Dreesen. There are enough uncertainties there to prompt curiosity about the specific logic of the coaches; I was just trying to get more info on that.

If you can't figure the logic I don't know what to tell you. It's pretty obvious why J. Thomas is starting at tight end.
