Official Denver Broncos Thread

I think it is Hanie who goes. They won't cut Osweiler and they are high on Weber.

Back to Moreno he could be but can't stay healthy. So I don't see a 1300 yard season in his future.

I dunno. D.Thomas had some injury issues as well. He seems to have it solved.

Either way, I'm rooting for Moreno because I hate seeing someone go down due to injury.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

It's tough. I think Moreno could be a 1,300 yard back. I think the hardest decision is cutting a guy who has the talent and desire, but is injury-prone.

Surprise cut could be Hanie.

I hope Hanie is cut, I haven't been impressed with anything I've seen from him.

As to the RB discussion, I think Johnson is the odd man out for sure.

Don't get me wrong I am not wishing an injury in him. Just seems to struggle being an every down back.

Shoeless Knowshon Moreno?

[Broncos86]

At this rate, I can see Omar Boldin getting cut. Trevathon has been impressive.

Only listening to game on XM between calls. What happened I don't get

Running on a stretch play to the right, he literally ran out of his shoe.

[Broncos86]

Boldin with a kick return for TD, that solidifies his spot.

[Broncos86]

I still say cut Hanie, Weber as #2. Osweiler needs seasoning.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Weber #2?!?!? I know you have a huge man-crush on him, but he's not even in consideration. Denver will be lucky to retain him on their practice squad.

I can see Hanie being cut and Denver going with just two QB's so they can free up another roster spot.

Moreno made a pretty strong case for his spot last night.

I don't see Boldin getting cut. He has huge upside coming off a season-ending ACL injury his final year at ASU. Some experts said that Boldin would've been a late first round or early second round draft pick if he would've played last year. He shows flashes of good coverage skills, and reminds me a little of Darrent Williams as a rookie. Also, Lord knows Denver could use a KR/PR with speed.

I agree with you on Trevathon, and I think he will make the team. He has been all over the field this preseason. Again, good upside with him. Would like to see Trevathon anticipate better and "lay the wood" with his tackling.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

I agree that Hanie should be cut. I can see KC picking him up off waivers as they seem to love Denver's slop QBs these days.

Adam Weber looked good, but it's not enough to put him ahead of Osweiler. Elway is banking on Osweiler to be the Broncos heir apparent to Manning. Therefore, Osweiler will be the #2 for the next 2-3 years. I agree that he needs to sit and learn, which he will. I don't see Manning getting hurt this season. The guy has been an ironman in the NFL for years now. His cervical fusion is solid. If he does get hurt, it won't be because of his neck surgery.

That being said, I think that Denver carries 2 QBs and places Weber on the practice squad.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

And teams don't typically cut their 4th round picks. It screams 'we don't know what we are doing'.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

I don't see Bolden getting cut. That was a nice kick return.

I guess we kinda skipped over my addendum to that topic. And teams DO cut risk picks that don't work out. Omar Boldin played zero football last year due to injury. There was no guarantee he'd be the same player. I recall a third round pick running back that was a risk who was cut early on during Shanahan's era.

And yes, Weber #2. Because frankly, Osweiler isn't ready, and Hanie hasn't shown that he's much better than Weber. The coaching staff is very high on Weber. I won't be surprised to see Weber retained as #3 and Hanie cut. Osweiler just isn't ready to start an NFL game or relieve. IMO, Weber carries more poise in the pocket, and is currently throwing a more accurate ball.

I just haven't been impressed with Osweiler, though I know he's more of a project. He isn't entering this season "NFL ready." Caleb Hanie, though a CSU product, hasn't been great.
