I was reading the Mailbag on the deverpost and saw this little snippet in there. I only know one person by the name of Larry in Tucson that is a Broncos fan.
Mike - It seems so many are talking about all the holes the Broncos have to fill in personnel. I don't see it that way. They are loaded at QB, RB, WR, TE, DE and the secondary. D.J. Williams now commands the middle. The O-line is shaping up, IMO. It seems that the experience the young guys are getting plus the addition of a couple DTs and an LB will form a team to be reckoned with. What's your take? Am I all wet?
-- Larry B, Tucson
Larry B. - At last, an outlook fitting of the holidays. The Broncos are fine at quarterback. If Travis Henry comes back healthy, he and Selvin Young would make the Broncos loaded at running back. Daniel Graham and Tony Scheffler are a nice tight end tandem, although the Broncos were hurt by the season-ending injury to Stephen Alexander. I do think in Tim Crowder, Jarvis Moss, Elvis Dumervil and John Engelberger, the Broncos are set at defensive end, although it's mostly a group of specialists.
I also agree D.J. Williams improved considerably at middle linebacker. It will be interesting to see if the Broncos keep him there during the offseason.
Help is needed at linebacker and the interior front. And the injuries to Walker and Stokley left the Broncos thin at receiver. You're not all wet, Larry B., but you are a little more optimistic than most.
