Thread: Practice / press conference notes - week 3 (Bills week)

Some more detail on Bolles, from Legwold:

The Broncos formally listed tackle Garett Bolles (lower leg) as questionable for Sunday's game in Buffalo. The team had a walk-through Friday and he was listed as limited, which he would have been if the team had a full practice. The Broncos will practice in the Buffalo area Saturday. Bolles has shown improvement physically, but did miss Wednesday's practice, which is when the Broncos install the first- and second-down run plays in the gameplan for the week. So beyond the injury that could impact if the rookie would be ready to play as well.

Agreed: As noted elsewhere, Aikman said Sunday that Barbre "is known for his pass blocking" but also a good run blocker, and if Watson's a good run blocker with the mobility but not Ability to play RT, he ought to make a pretty good pulling guard at LG if Leary's still in protocol, then he and McGovern can fight over the RG spot.

In fact, I hesitate to say this, but this looks like a pretty good depth chart:

LT Bolles (Watson, Stephenson)
LG Leary (McGovern, Garcia)
C Paradis (McGovern)
RG Watson (McGovern, Garcia)
RT Barbre (Watson, Stephenson)

The worst to be said of it is that injury to either OT would affect TWO positions (three if we prefer Barbre as first alternate to Bolles, meaning Watson would take over for him at RT and McGovern for him at RG.) But we'd have a pretty solid starting lineup across the board, with reasonably solid depth behind them; I can't remember the last time both those things were true (maybe all of one season in 2008?)

Plus Glenns absence makes things harder for Taylor against our front seven. This is a game we SHOULD win every day of the week and twice on Sunday, which happens to be when we're playing. Otherwise we'll have some hard questions about whether the team we saw the last two weeks is really whom we are. Our offense merely needs to avoid turnovers and keep our own elite D hydrated, though if we can score enough to sideline McCoy that would be a nice bonus.

So technically 1-1.. I suppose. I wonder what kinda abuse I'm gonna get from Bills Mafia

I am 4-0 in Denver though! Got tickeys to Sunday nighter vs Giants

So.. uh yeah.. I take full responsibility for this game. Never going to see the Broncos play in Buffalo again, I'm awful luck.


There were so many Broncos fans there, especially behind our bench... came away with an L and a awful sun burnt forehead lol. It was Africa out there yesterday

I called you out somewhere in the game thread. You must be cursed! Though you said your record seeing them in Denver is better, so I'll give you a pass on that one.
