As expected, especially with the Bibbs injury:

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 13m13 minutes ago

Broncos claimed former Ravens' RB Justin Forsett on waivers today, per source. Broncos' HC Gary Kubiak and Forsett reunited again.

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 3s3 seconds ago

Justin Forsett had his best and only Pro Bowl season in Baltimore with Kubiak as OC in ’14. He had 1,266 rushing yards, 5.4 ypc & 8 TDs.

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 13s13 seconds ago

Kapri Bibbs' left high ankle sprain will likely keep him out for multiple weeks. Tough break for a talented back. Depth was needed.

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 25s25 seconds ago

Corresponding roster move coming shortly.

He immediately becomes our best RB not named CJ Anderson. He isn't a huge HR threat at this stage - but he's smart and productive - about the best you could hope for off the street in Week 14.

I am happy about this. He has vision, toughness, and he's a good blocker. That last one is often undervalued. Although, since he isn't a speed back, he might not be on third downs that much anyway. However, his blocking ability will still be useful on the first two downs, certainly on fourth down.....

I feel good about this one.

I wanted to sign Forsett since CJ went down. Not because he's all-world or anything, but because he is a vet who has been around. He played for Kubes before. Let's think about this for a second, what is our #1 problem with the offense? The Oline. Now we stick a second year QB who is essentially a rookie or his backup who is a rookie behind it. Then we lineup another rookie at RB next to him and say, "be productive behind the worst Oline in the league".

What I'm hoping Forsett will bring is a little experience to the backfield. Someone who can help our young QBs with protection schemes prior to the snap and who understands how to pickup the blitz and actually run in a zone scheme. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the starting job within the first week or two. Booker is struggling right now, which is understandable. Forsett's experience could pay real dividends. Other than Dallas, who has the best Oline in the league, how many other teams have started a rookie QB and RB together and expected immediate success? I think Forsett will help way more than just carrying the ball.

Had his best season under kubiak, unfortunately for us the ravens offensive line is better than ours and there quarterback at the moment.

Why couldn't we sign a couple offensive linemen off the street? There's gotta be some guys hungry for football on the street.

It's really not that simple unfortunately. For an offensive line to develop, there has to be a cohesion between the different linemen. This typically takes 6-7 games of playing together to build. Very rarely is it effective to plug and play new linemen, because these linemen have to as well develop that cohesion and trust/communication.

Unfortunately for the most part, what you see is what you get with this line. We have to hope that they continue to develop and gel or wait until next year, blow it up and start from square one.

Beside that, there really isn't anyone noteworthy on the street that is markedly better than what we have.

Elways i will admit is amazing at drafting and getting good FA defensive talent. So far though offensively he has not done good outside of Sanders and Peyton.

Miss on just about every OL. No WR has worked out really. TE is always a position of need. And major busts with drafting RB. Anderson and Paradis have been his only good offensive talent he has found. I am hoping booker turns corner into solid RB. Okung and stephenson look like misses. DT was already here.

Hillman has good speed. I was hopeful he'd turn into an elite 3rd down back, but poor blocking and lack of receiving ability dampened those hopes.

Good Signing. Forsett > Hillman, by a wide margin.

These are the per season averages of the two players.

Forsett:

415 rush yds 2 TD 146 rec yds 0.1 TD

Hillman

378 yds 2.4 TD 95 yds 0.2 TD

Forsett has better yardage production, and Hillman has scored a bit more often. I certainly would not call it anything close to a "wide margin".

And if you take out the one outlier season for Forsett when he made the pro bowl, the rest of his career has been entirely mediocre.

Also, two teams have cut him this year, just like Hillman. I'd say it's safe to say they are seen pretty similarly right now by NFL teams.

It's probably selection bias on my part, I just remember watching Hillman so much and always being disappointed. Not that I've ever had a high opinion of Forsett, he's just an average back that you can plug and play. But his one season is a lot better than anything Hillman did.

I wasn't saying that. He showed multiple times throughout the year why he was still employed. He's great at that change of pace, speed back position. Seems like it's niche role though which is why he's having trouble finding work.

Last year was an improvement, but his fumbles always seemed to come at the absolute worst times...

You want to like him, fine, but to me I'd have rather seen his carries given to someone better. He really was not a consistent runner. He'd occasionally break one but most of his rushing attempts went no where because he couldn't find the hole (a problem I've noticed with Booker, though I'm willing to cut him plenty of slack on that since it is after all his first year)

Hillman's issues weren't all of his own doing either, we never utilized him to his strengths...He wasn't ever built to run between tackles yet that's where we insisted on throwing him. He'd have been great as like a Sproles or Reggie Bush type back, but our coaching staff consistently misused him.

I actually think he'll be good in San Diego, but I was never ever impressed by him here. I can see where the potential was, but I never saw him live up to it aside from the occasional flash.

Am I totally upset he isn't with us anymore? No. Would I like it if he still was? Yep. He is arguably better than Booker at this point, and I like Booker.

I think a lot of it stems from how good our running game was for so long under shanny. People were really spoiled by that high standard, and now everyone who doesn't live up to it is trash. First moreno, then Hillman, now booker. I'm surprised CJ has mostly escaped it, but I think that's mostly because he gets credit for what he's done as an undrafted player. But those other 3 guys, all picked in the first 4 rounds, apparently have expectations of being all pros or else they suck.

The guy has a pretty insufferable personality. Zero charisma, never did a single thing to ingratiate himself to fans - but did a number of things to piss us off... Such as calling out all the "fake fans" who criticize the team and Manning (despite not really having the clout to do so). Showing zero awareness in the Patriots playoff game and not even making an effort to pick up the ball - and generally just being mediocre and average in every way.

I think him picking a fight with fans is the reason why people actively dislike him.

I like the end of your post. I think Hillman would have been better but since SD stole him JF is as good as there is out there

Hillman is fast. That is or was his only good asset. Everything else he is average at best. He was never suited to this offense and what Kubiak wants out of a RB. For that matter, I am discouraged by Booker with this offense. IMO Booker does not have that VISION that is needed. Yes, he is operating behind an underwhelming OL, however I have seen him NOT run to where the hole opens up. Often (all too often) that hole is a cut to the middle. He does what most RBs just do. Run to where the hole is SUPPOSE to be and if it is not there, well oh well. No, we will never see and instinctive RB like Terrell Davis again, who fit into this stretch offense about as well as Montana fit into it as a QB.

Anyway, I am happy with the Forsett signing. I do think he is an effective back and I am hoping he remains on the team into next year.

As a first year player, it's entirely possible that he's being told specifically to ignore his instincts and run to where the design of the play is, and that any responsibility for the results is on the coaching staff.

I think it's way to early to start talking about vision. He's likely on a somewhat short leash for now.

My question is who set the protection on that play? I'm not a big fan of putting a 215lb RB on a 270lb DE. (He says as he ignores the fact that the 312lb T's aren't much better)

I've wondered the same thing myself. I'm leaning towards Paradis calling the protection, but sometimes it looks like Trevor is doing it. So, I'm not 100% sure.

This is probably an area which is a glaring weakness we don't discuss much. It's an area CJ would have been really helpful in. Without the experience of CJ diagnosing blitzes we are left with the collective experience of Trevor and Paradis.

I know they said early on CJ was helping Siemian, and in Lynch's start, it was said the RB's and Paradis were having to help him both with calls and protections.

And how do you know that he didn't identify it and booker just wiffed it? You aren't on the field so basically you are just speculating based on what you saw and assuming that's what happened.

Well, for starters, QB's who identify blitzers tend to account for the blocking being beaten. So, if he did identify the blitzer, that's actually worse.

If he expected Booker to at least slow him down, wouldn't that not happening interrupt the play?

That's what I'm getting at, how do we freaking know that he didn't identify the blitz, indicate for Booker to stay in protection and booker wiffed...That's not on the QB. That's on the RB for not doing his job... If I remember the play correctly Booker went low like he was going to attempt a block and the defender just completely went around him and hit Trevor. A QB can't force the RB to properly chip the blitzer.

Unless blocking is now something we also expect the QB to do in which case lets just get the pitchforks and head over to Trevor's.

So let's think about this Freyaka, just for one second. You're the QB. Your RB is supposed to take on a rusher by himself. You're not going to be extra cognitive of that? Against a pass rusher of any skill most of the time a TE on a rusher isn't desirable, let alone a RB.

Green also went in motion and lined up opposite said rusher. As we don't know what was called, we don't know whether Green was motioned over for the purpose of picking up the rusher and didn't. There is a lot that we don't know at this point.

It doesn't matter if Green is supposed to get the rusher. You have a RB and in that case a TE (two positions who typically chip) vs a legitimate pass rusher. That's something as a QB you stay cognitive of.

Imagine for a second if an opposing QB looks over and sees Von Miller and he's going to be blocked by a RB and a TE. I'm just using the example to illustrate a point.

I should not know about the rushers that I can identify at the LoS because in several seconds I will be executing a playaction pass.

if there were six rushers identified who all beat the TE then football has become a very strange game. :eek:

It's a cluster. Our line sucks, we have a young QB, and we have a young RB. All three combine to ensure we have free rushers, barely blocked rushers, and people in our backfield on nearly every snap. If one of those three weren't the case we might be able to make something happen (If Peyton were here he would damn sure at least make the right call, if the line was better TS would have a bit more time, and if we had a more experienced RB (we might) he could help with at least picking up a free blitzer.)

It's a perfect storm of youth and lack of skillsets. Our coaching along the OL is also absolutely horrendous, and our playcalling isn't a lot better.

Including, if we could listen to the helmet calls we would have heard:

"Siemian, you piece of shit, pay attention and get the protection right."
or
"Siemian, tell Booker if he misses another block we are trading him to Cleveland."

If only we could listen in, we would know the mysteries of Sunday...

Its hard for me to blame play calling when i dont k ow if its a bad play or execution. To me right now its execution because you can watch the OL miss blocks entirely or get man handled and pancaked.

I would think Paradis too but Nalen has mentioned that he may not be making calls for the entire protection. Which might actually be part of the problem. Maybe that'd be the case if Paradis were able to practice full time, he is most likely the most qualified.

Joe, don't be that way. Nobody said it was Siemian's fault, just that:

It's not the Oline's fault.
It's not the WR's fault
It's not the TE's fault
It's not the RB's fault
It's not the coach's fault
It's not the groundkeepers fault

And, something about the QB bring responsible for the offense or something like that...

Considering the other inane, off topic bullshit that happens in nearly every thread, I didn't realize a few smilies would upset anyone. As once again, people were being called PATHETIC of the like for having a ******* opinion, I thought posting a few smileys might divert the holier than though bullshit and keep it lite.
