Bet U29 for drinks on Jamal Charles

[underrated29]

Come one come all.


I say charles makes the team. You say neigh! Make the bet. Lose buys a drink for said winner.



Rules:
Charles makes the team or he does not.
Exclusion:
Freak injury before final cuts.

***Knee not fully rehabbed does not count as an exemption*** (im giving you guys this one)



So make your posts about where you think he will be. For the record I drink Rum and Coke. If its at the tailgate or game it costs about $8.75

[BroncoWave]

Sure, why not? It'll be a while before I'm in Denver again, anyway! :D

[BroncoJoe]

I'm going to wait until when (if?) he ever makes the field in a preseason game.

Are you going to the home opener this year?

I think he'll make the squad, just curious.

Actually, you owe me a drink for getting you away from the crap provider you had previously! :)

I have zero opinion on JC. I'd like to actually see him on the field before I pass judgement.

I think so. An old hs friend hit me up today. She has tix to homeopener. Asked me if I wanted to go. So likely yes. We will have to meet up before the game, if possible.

Still have the internet.
I switched my phone lines to Tmobile. Being that it is a business expense I can also write off my personal cell lines too. So for my 15 lines + 4 personals, unlimited talk, text and international calling and data and a bunch of tablets and mobile wifi things I pay like $346 a month. Plus, I do not have to worry about my lines going down when some scmucks cut the cable line to comcast.

Of course he's making the squad - he had a nice practice and cut very well after the brace was off. They signed him knowing it was a process. We have some scrub RB's on this team. It's alarmist to think he's being cut. WHo thinks that? WHO!

WHO!?!?

Rick, Frey, BTB, I am sure there are a few others out there who remain quiet on their feelings.

Special bet for the foreigner

I think he makes the team

If he does, when I come over in 2018 we (Deleted content) visit black hawk casino and smash lots of scotch.

What say you?

If he doesn't, we should do it anyway as a show of solidarity.

Plan is open to minor tweaks. And by minor tweaks, I mean the addition of a (deleted content) from jaded

[Rick]

I don't think he will make it but it has nothing to do with him but rather the play of Henderson and other needs on the team.

Don't have enough faith in that to bet though :)

Why would Jamaal Charles buy drinks for people who made a bet with U29? :confused:

[Cugel]

We can know whether he's making the team by how they use him in the pre-season. If he plays in game 3 but only briefly, he's making the team. If he plays only in week 4 he's on the bubble. The exception would be if they're all lying and his knee really is still not 100% and they are holding him out for medical reasons.

But, in that case, they wouldn't have signed him. Their doctors looked at the knee and said "OK." Other teams reportedly disagreed and medically rejected him (Chiefs did for instance).

The one thing the Broncos won't do is simply cut Charles without giving him any chance to show what he can do. That just wouldn't make sense.

I think they are satisfied he can go, but are keeping him out of serious contact because they want to save him for the regular season. I think that because, why else are they keeping him out of the first 2 games?

[Ziggy]

Sounds like Charles got rid of the brace today.

[Cugel]

According to Brandon Stokely, who claims he got this from senior Broncos sources, *which probably means he talked with some Broncos coaches or current players* - the plan all along was for Charles to have limited reps, to keep his knee healthy. But, just because the fans and sportswriters haven't seen him perform, doesn't mean the Broncos are in any doubt of his ability. They are trying to get him ready for the regular season, not to "show us what he can do". They already know what he can do. They have figured out what role they want him to play and they're going to limit his plays in hopes of having him fresh and making an impact in January when it really counts.

They are assuming that if he's healthy then he can be a contributor on 3rd downs, especially catching passes out of the backfield. But, unless they intend to start DeVontee Booker on the PUP list this means Stevan Ridley is on the bubble. If Booker starts the first 6 games on the PUP list then they can delay any decision about Ridley until later. This also presupposes that Ridley can be a special teams player.

Whether this plan for Charles works or not is another question. But, that apparently is the plan - which means he's going to stay on the roster.

[BroncoJoe]

We have a good stable of RB's. I'd be surprised if Charles is kept, but not willing to bet on that. Yet.

Plus, I can't imagine anything worse than having to buy UR a drink. :yo:

If Booker is on pup, that leaves CJ and Henderson as locks, in my mind. So, Ridley and Charles could both stay (assuming they go four RB plus FB, which I'm not sure they will).

Ridley played well, so I think it might come down to two of three of Ridley, Charles and Janovich, unless they decide on four plus a FB.

Now, considering how weak we are at TE, I think we see three TE's + FB kept.

So, all that rambling aside, I think we see.

CJ
Booker (PUP so not counted towards 53)
DJ Henderson
Ridley
Charles

Janovich

Then, Charles or Ridley gets cut once Booker comes off of PUP.

That makes sense to me, but it will be interesting to see who actually gets game time. Lets say both Ridley and Charles get in and play well do you just IR Booker?

Did we have 3 or 4 RB's last year? CJ, Booker, Bibbs, and Thompson, but did one of Bibbs or Thompson make the team from the practice squad after CJ's injuries last year?

That's how I see it too. They get 6 weeks to evaluate Charles while Booker is on the PUP list. Then they either cut Ridley or Charles when Booker comes back. But, they need Ridley or Juwan Thompson to be the backup to CJ, while Charles and Henderson are the 3rd down change of pace backs.

Despite the nice plays Juwan made last game, its too little, too late for him. But, he's putting film out there that will help him get onto another roster when a RB goes down - and this is the NFL. RBs are always getting hurt in this league. He won't be on the street for long.

If Charles proves durable and is healthy and productive after week 6 then Ridley becomes expendable. Their 4 backs are Charles and Booker backing up DeAngelo Henderson and CJ.

If not, then they cut Charles at that point and keep Ridley and Booker.

Either way they are keeping DeAngelo Henderson on the 53 man roster and he's going to play. A good find there! He has real elusiveness - a poor man's version of Christian McCaffrey.

No, we do not IR booker. He is too good. Way better than Ridley. Although Ridley has looked good, very good. He is not as good as book. When Book comes back Ridely gets to take a hike and is probably signed by the chargers or raiders because thats what they do.


CJ
Book
Charles
Henderson

(In no order ^)

I can absolutely see Henderson stealing the top spot or the 2nd as long as he can pass pro. Charles will get more work than he should but he will be the 3rd down back for sure. I hope they can save him for playoffs and then give him a lot of reps. Ideally when playoffs hot, start Henderson/book, charles 2nd back and CJ the 3rd down back. Complete opposite of how we start the season. After teams get tired of chasing Henderson and Charles all over the field and on screens, CJ comes in and plows the road. Runs down the clock and we make teams submit.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I want to see Henderson, Charles, and CJ on the field at the same time.

I'm putting my feet up on my table, leaning back, hands behind my head........Waiting to see everyones reaction about how charles looks good. Maybe even as of old. How he will help us so much, especially in the screen game, etc etc etc.....NOW EVERYONE KNOCK ON SOME WOOD.

The bug is hopefully dead.

[BroncoJoe]

Kinda hard to even comment since he's done nothing yet.

[shank]

I'll bet you a drink. I am optimistic he still has something left in the tank, so my bet is more based on how good Ridley and Henderson have looked. Also, who cares about a drink - we're gonna drink them anyway.

According to Vance Joseph, Jamaal Charles is going to play with the #1s in the first quarter against the Packers. Unless he just sucks during said game, he's going to be on the 53 man roster and Booker will begin the season on the PUP list. Then they have up to 9 weeks to decide whether Charles can still play before they have to bring Booker back.

If he's something like the old Jamaal Charles they will get rid of Ridley at that point. If not, they get rid of Charles.

Not sure Booker goes to PUP. Just today on Twitter, they said his goal was to be back by week three

Ridley is in trouble.

[Cugel]

Well Jamal looked like the best RB on the team. CJ wasn't bad, but Jamal was what I remember watching in KC. When he gets the ball in space, every opposing fan is screaming "get him on the ground! Get him on the ground!" because any time he touches the ball he's a threat to make one guy miss, juke another guy in open space and it's a 60 yard TD. He used to do that all the time.

If he could do that maybe 6 games this year it will be worth having him on the roster. One game in the playoffs where Jamal does what he normally does in talking over a game and terrifying opposing DCs would be worth his roster spot.

[dogfish]
