shit! i do realize that it's may, but that's not good news at all. . . leary's our best lineman, we really need that guy healthy this year. . . if he does need a scope, i hope they get it done now to maximize his recovery time. . . with mcgovern pencilled in as the starter at right guard, we basically have zero usable depth-- if leary misses time, we're right back to that helpless schlub max garcia as a starter. . .

I just hope those two can stay healthy...If they can't play, I'm far less confident in our o-line.

VJ is coach and O-line is still a mess? Why is this rain yellow, Mr. Elway?



Still, it's spring and you never know...

Oline blocks well for the run and is improved, case avoids sacks so that helps too...

Vj is still coach, can't talk my way out of that.

VJ talking now:

Vance Joseph said its “a wide-open race” with CJ Anderson gone.

Vance: “Someone’s got to be the starter, but to have a great running game you have to have two or three guys.” Joseph put the onus on Devontae Booker to “earn the right” to be the starter.

naturally. . . they call it "wide open," but booker is still the first guy they look to. . . i would love to know exactly who on our staff is so infatuated with that guy, and why. . . if he does get the nod, i sure hope he can justify it with some strong play. . . i personally am more excited to get a look at henderson and freeman. . . we need to field some speed on that side of the ball for a change. . .

I’m hoping that it’s just because Booker is the incumbent and that things will change as the offseason progresses. I heard Heuerman will start as TE1 too, but again, Butt should replace him there quickly

I don't get the Booker hate.

Also - that tweet about Keenum - does that mean he had a hard time completing passes or was he picked off a bunch?

Can't wait to have the worst TE depth chart in the league for like the 5th straight season.

That's not guaranteed. Butt is slow, he's coming off a major injury which isn't going to do him any favors speed wise. We'll have to watch the Butt and see how it shapes up.

It's pretty hideous. Hopefully there are some diamonds in the rough available in FA when the cut to 52 comes.
