    Third down conversions are where it is at. Denver has done extremely well at that so far. Good on the team and good on McCoy for his gameplan and playcalling.

    Bad - Menelik Watson's 1st half. Bowles injury.

    In the 2nd half they started helping Menelik out with a TE or having the RB help him in pass pro. With Bowles out we are in some serious shit in pass pro. After Bowles got hurt, Menelik was on his own and did better, but we were running pretty much every play.

    Absolutely, McCoy needs to be high up on the "Good" list through two games. He's done a tremendous job imo.

He's clearly been an upgrade on Williams, and has been a huge part of getting that push up front. I don't think that many fans were too excited about his signing, but this could be one of those great Elway under the radar pick ups that pays off big. And we've only had five healthy d-linemen each game so far! I think Kerr will be good against the run too as a rotational guy.
    Peko seems to be a great leader of men. I think he's done well filling in for some of Ware's veteran leadership.

    Here's another bad: That roughing the passer call against Von. I wasn't reading the game thread so I didn't see the reaction, but was that one of the worst roughing the passer calls of all time or what?

    Between that and the offsides bs, I told my dad they may as well just make it a no pass rush league.

    I don't think Von is ever really offsides, he just has the best jump in the game. Honestly I think he just waits for the center to twitch the ball and he's gone. He never seems fooled by the snap count, hence why he's never slow off the ball, and you always see him watching the ball when he's lined up.

    I think it's just hard for the refs to be able to monitor his launch and the ball at the same time. There are so many times he looks "clearly" offsides but isn't. It's hilarious to see him rounding the tackle just as the ball clears the center's ass. Von has the most ridiculous fast-twitch ability I've ever seen.

    I generally agree but yesterday he definitely got a little antsy and was jumping offside pretty clearly.

    He is a master of timing his rush but you could tell the sackless streak was getting to him and he was forcing it more than usual. The league really needs to start calling guys grabbing handfuls of his jersey, tackling him to the ground and water skiing behind him though. I can understand letting the borderline holding go because he could technically draw a call on every snap but you have got to set a precedent with the flagrant bullshit.
    Go Broncos!

    Throw Shaq and B-Marsh in the good category for me so far as well. Both guys are beasting out there and playing at an incredibly high level.

    Dixon can go in the bad. Haven't been a fan since day one and don't think he's a very good punter.

    Tned in 3,2,1...

    Hell - the kid only punted 3 times, right? First punt wasn't even until the 4th quarter, IIRC.

    43 yard average. 48, 35 and 46.

    No more sly and no more crick.

    Instead we have Peko and my Man Shelby Harris!!

    Not sure why he isnt mentioned more, Shelby is a Damn BOSS!!!! He is quickly becoming one of my favorite players on this team. That guy is a baller!!
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    Gotsis is playing really well, too.

    Yeah, that was a bad call. He did what they tell players to do and still got flagged. Mike Periera said as much on the broadcast.

    He definitely jumped on a couple of those. One of his great strengths is perfect timing, but he was a little off yesterday.

    Yeah I think he was clearly jumping offside as well. He was definitely getting frustrated by the sackless streak. Now that that's over, I expect him to calm down and be the same old Von.
