Nope! I’m sorry but Rod Smith’s analysis is not valid anymore.

That's not really accurate and you hurt my feelings.

That’s 100% what Coach says, and you agreed, Rod played too long ago to be relevant.

I could never hurt you.

Well, one guy retired in 2001 and the other played until 2006, so he's still in bounds if I recall Coach's stance properly.

Hard to tell but since Smith is blowing orange smoke up our asses I’m sure he just squeaks into Coach’s criteria.

Dogfish likes to run out the old and tired "how many rings," do the GOATs as the position hold.

I don't have the heart to tell him that the greatest LT ever, Munoz, never won one. Then the second greatest LT of all time, Walter Jones, he doesn't have one. Shit, Joe Thomas never even made the playoffs.

I saw that hi-five Dog. You taunt me mercilessly.

Never, Mr Mayor doesn’t make poor decisions, like some people we know.

Real Talk; Rod Smith should be Coaching for Broncos.

Smith was not flashy but he was a workhorse and very reliable blocker. He was never the best athlete on the field but effort and mechanics will win the day most of the time

All the Denver greats have relevance for their opinions, it doesn't matter if you disagree with them, they were great for a reason, while the game has changed at many positions. Players can see when players ball.....Good players know when a player fakes it to make it or the player is just not that good. I could care less what Orlando Franklin has to say as former OL player for example, but I have no issue listening to what Clady says. He was very good. I might disagree with takes from posters here or former players, but those former players that got it done at a high level are worth listening to because respect and what they achieved matters regardless of how long its been. They were great at what they did for however long. They were superstars or high level players for a reason. They weren't message board warriors at the keyboard lol.

I don't like Bolles, I think he is just not mentally strong enough to take criticism consistently and refine his game to be a long term assest, avg starter sure, worth a big extension not likely. However both OL players and DL players have had many examples of needing a few years to blossom.....maybe he needs that extra year *shrugs* I do know we could do worse then him like Wilkinson at LT for example that would be just downright stupid.....

Great players from years past deserve our respect they played and succeeded at the highest level of football Rod smith is a prime example......I don't think anyone on this board can beat that. Disagree with there takes sure...but what they say about the game still deserves some measure of respect from us.......

Just my take.....

When Stink was calling the game and ranting and raving, it wasn't a good look. A pro is a pro. It was bad form for a commentator, and only accepted because he was a prior player. When I did journalism, that was what we coached to not do.

There are far better sources than Stink in regards to critiques on Bolles. I watched him make it quasi-personal. Instead of being an impartial commentator it was more akin to having a family member of a victim sit on the accused's jury. And, to be honest, while Stink can be illuminating, a lot of time he's just stirring the pot. Stink had a solid NFL career. But I can find better lineman giving opinions. Stink is a sharp guy, but I can find smarter human beings, too. He's granted a lot of leeway with us because he's a former Bronco. But that's not changing anything other than he used to wear the uniform.

I didn't say you had to agree with these guys but as a former high level players they know some things about the game, at the NFL level.....
