Thread: Re-Focused Week 4- Denver vs Tennesse

Full article at link^^^^^

As we know, the better team does not always win in every matchup — and that was certainly the case in this game, in which Denver pulled out a win on the road despite being outperformed by the Titans.

The Broncos abandoned the run, for the most part, early on and were forced to throw the ball 50+ times for the second consecutive week. Managing only 19 yards rushing, thanks mostly to an offensive line that couldn’t handle Tennessee’s ferocious D-line (-17.9 run block). Denver will need a much better performance from its line against Baltimore. There is no excuse now that RT Ryan Harris and RG Chris Kuper are fully healthy.

also Below is the grades from profootball focus for Ten game I cant use their premium ratings here for copyright purposes but came up with a letter grade scale for the ratings......

Our OL sucks at Run blocking period, this is 2 games in a row of complete trash for daniels and Kuper....if they dont fix it quick a guard will be needed to push the crap out of them next year, could be injuries and inexperience, but if teh ywant jobs next year they better get it fixed.....also maroney is a joke and billicheck schooled us by getting a 4th for him......lloyd, royal, orton are saving this team right now on offense....clady and harris also had big trouble on teh edge against pass rush, and as mUg stated graham had a bad blocking game as well....

C run defense/C- pass defense



keep in mind C is not a bad grade the concerns are the D, and F grades those were bad games......luckily for us we stopped chris johnson but that 54 yarder really hurt some run defense scores, pass coverage was so so, but vince couldnt get it done....give our guys credit, while no one played spectacular as a individual in any one area on the defense, they play as a team and are able to get each others backs...first half splits look pretty rough, they had a beastly second half though on defense

Not sure what else Young could have done on that long ball at the end, though... He hit the receiver right in the hands about 50+ down the field, and Britt just looked like he was channeling Edward Hammerhands.

we had him shutdown the whole second half......although britt failed to come up there for sure......

So C seems to be Zero AB are poistive. DF are minus numbers. Is that about it?

If I'm reading corret walton graded out best of the oline.

yep thats correct and yes walton was the least horrible of the OL play but still quite bad......

C is set at zero or Average Day in the pros...... A/B are good grades.....D/F are bad

Thanks for doing this for us. Have been waiting all week for it.

Can you tag all of these with grades or something of your choosing. That way it is a quick search. Danke.

Thanks for posting these. Always interesting to see where the players individually grade out, and whether they correlate with my own assessment.

JD is looking like he may be very good!

honestly i agree, lot on his plate but he is still fighting....went back and checked out Alex mack for instance his rookie year...Mack had 11 of 16 games with a D or lower rating.....rookie centers just have a tough time starting out, just so much going on for them.....

i am worried about kuper and daniels at guard though, me thinks we need some competition there as a bit of a wake-up and get nasty moment if you still want your job.....although to be fair kuper is coming off a rough ankle injury
