Bronco Update - Cliff's Notes Version
-The Broncos won another preseason game against a crappy team.
-Whoop-te-do!
-Bradlee Van Pelt can't throw worth crap.
-Which is okay since Darius Watts can't catch worth crap.
-Perhaps they can spend the entire season working on fundamentals.
-On the practice squad.
-If I'm Mike Shanahan, I raise both Charlie Adams and Todd Devoe above Watts on the depth chart.
-They had some incredible plays on Saturday.
-Plus, they appear to have mastered football fundamentals.
-Unfortunately it probably won't help.
-Maybe the Broncos can convince Tim Brown to come out of retirement...
-It will be interesting to see who wins the starting running back job.
-And it would be a huge mistake to take the running-back-by-committee approach.
-Huge mistake.
-Besides, one of the backs will probably get hurt anyway.
-I, for one, like Mike Anderson.
-He's faster than he gets credit for and doesn't fumble the ball.
-Plus, if he's the starting back then I get to make a bunch of marijuana jokes every week.
-Tatum Bell just doesn't look that exciting.
-But Ron Dayne does.
-We should keep him.
-Let him put in some time at halfback, fullback, and team enforcer.
-The defensive line put a lot of pressure on San Fran's QB.
-Unfortunately it was rookie Alex Smith.
-He's a happy little deer frozen in the headlights of a fleet of Mack trucks.
-He's going to have a long year
-It may jack him up permanently.
-And no wonder - I saw an interview and the kid looks like he just got out of middle school.
-The offense looked good.
-But not good enough to score 30 or more points.
-The defense looked average.
-Average enough to give up 20+ points.
-Which against the Colts in the playoffs would equal 45+ points.
-But like I said - Preseason games don't mean crap.
