I didn't think we'd do a thread for this week, but they practiced today and Kubiak said stuff, so ...

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 1h1 hour ago

Aqib Talib (back) is practicing. He's expected to return after the bye, as we reported Sunday. Derek Wolfe, Matt Paradis not practicing.

Mike Klis ‏@MikeKlis 1h1 hour ago

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 53m53 minutes ago

Aqib Talib being out there was a great sign for his recovery. No Derek Wolfe today, as expected; Broncos hope he's out there next week.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 43m43 minutes ago

#Broncos Siemian did light throwing today. Left shoulder should benefit from the rest. Talib did practice. He has said he will play Nov. 27

DT is a warrior. Leadership through his actions. Tell me I'm not the only one who sees his grimaces during games. Yet makes the plays the team needs to win. #countrydiva

Talib coming back is huge!

If Talib were in the backfield I think we have a better shot against the Raiders at home, and I think we have 4 interceptions against the Saints.

I wondered if they'd rest him some...I'm sure a specific segment of the fanbase will get excited and assume this is a sign of a change coming...it's not. His shoulder has been bothering him and even though it's non-throwing I do feel like it has impacted his play.

Great to hear about Talib! Hopefully Wolfe gets back soon too.

The hip looked good on Sunday! Hopefully we see that kind of play out him going forward. It'll really help Trevor.

They benched the wrong OLman, especially for Sampro, which is exactly what Tom Nalen said. The problem is the interior three.

I blame paradis

Me too...I mean, I love Boise too.

Joking aside, Nalen said his only issue with Paradis not practicing and that it's hurting his team because they're not working together.

How if they are typically our top graded OL?

I don't think Nalen cares.

Lol very true.

To be fair, his issue with Paradis isn't performance, it's the his injury is killing any chance of building continuity with his line mates. He says Schofield is doing well in the run but not Pass Pro. Garcia has been the worst starting OL all season, imo, Nalen thinks that maybe he was more comfortable being the backup at both G's at this point.

"There are much more deserving lineman to be benched. Stephenson is the wrong guy at the wrong time".

Personally, I think Garcia should be the swing G/C, they can get away with just seven game day OL that way. Start Sampoop somewhere. Ferentz playing for an injured Paradis is scary to me, he would just be that Sixth OL in Jumbo if it were up to me.
