Not much of a surprise here... 17 players on IR. Certainly explains a lot of the inconsistency of this team. I wonder if it will become 18 with Schaub.
What a lot of money they decided to pay Ahman Green. I think that was just a bad decision. I doubt he will play one full year as a starter ever again. I think he would be a good part-time back still, but as the backup to Dayne, or someone else if they have a chance to pickup a good tailback in the draft.
It's not like they did it with a renewed running game. Favre is throwing like crazy. Only over the past few games have they had a decent running game.
I liked the signing at first but was very weary of the amount of money we gave him. There was so much talk about the Broncos zone-blocking scheme and the ability to just plug in a back, so I was suprised that the Texans payed Green that much considering his age/injury history. There are a lot of quality backs in this draft so I'm hoping the Texans pick up some young legs with speed.
Wow, who would of thought by this time in the season we would have Sage as our starting QB and Dayne as our starting RB? Even w/ Andre back, we are still snake-bit.
I have a feeling they're going to cut bait after this season. I have no idea what the cap ramifications would be, but if they can, they'll try to go younger. Don't forget about Chris Taylor, too. Kubiak was pretty high on him last season and he would have been used quite a bit had he not gotten hurt at the beginning of training camp. If he gets all the way back, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a fair shot as the starter next season (assuming they don't draft a RB in the first couple of rounds).
We aren't using the Broncos zone blocking scheme, we are using a hybrid of Green Bay's power blocking and Denver's zone blocking. Hopefully we will focus on zone blocking once Sherman leaves.
I forgot about that...good call. I really hope we spend our FA money on the O-Line or secondary. If we draft a RB, he can contribute right away.
