I hope it is just smoke and mirrors. Unless our defense is going to be in nickle formation a lot. We have Bailey and Porter. We also have a good youngster in the slot. Unless he foresees Bailey or Porter gone next season. I do not see that the immediate impact player he was talking about, atleast not at the position.

Anyone have a feel for whether there is any chance of Porter getting suspended for the bounty stuff?

We'll all know tomorrow night, but if Elway's comments can be read into, he's most concerned about defending the pass.

Can never have too many good DBs

DT isn't the need many think it is

Teams who spread us out hurt us the most

this does make ya wonder...

Did Skinny take Elway out drinking!

we were spread out but we destroyed in the middle of the field with no MLB in coverag, um Mays sucks in coverage. We also had Goodman and 2 young safeties part of the season. I would think MLB is more important that CB and SS. But we signed Porter and the other new safety. Figured our secondary was good and front 7 needed attention. But this makes you wonder.

Not sure about the safety. Might not win the starting job over the young guys.

I still think a DT who can push the pocket would do more for the pass defense than another CB. The Broncos can have 4 or 5 All Pros in the secondary and it won't matter if the QB never gets pressure in his face (see Brady, Tom). For some reason every team but the Broncos seems to have figured that out.

The Brown is already our best Safety. He's very sound and will help the youngsters find their way. He and Carter are the starters until/if Moore gets his shit together.

I feel better about Bailey/Porter then those 2 or front 7.

If we were able to move up to the seventh pick it would be to take either the best big body or to take the SS from Bama. But given that Dawkins will be sitting in the war room I'd say we go after the best Safety on the board. Get him before the Chargers move up and take him. They have been rumored to be trying to jump in front of the Cowboys who definately take him if he's still there. The talk of taking a corner has to be a smoke screen.

as evidenced by our offer to the Eagles for Samuel???

I am scared what moving up to top 10 would cost us.......but hey why not take the best ILB instead of Cb Keuchly (however you spell it)

That could have been a smokescreen too. After Elway landed Manning, I doubt he would miss on Samuels if he REALLY wanted him.
