Per Gantt tweet.

LB Jon Beason: Team "definitely needs to get a veteran guy" at defensive tackle.

If he is saying this, then we really have a problem. Nick Hayden, the NFL's first anorexic DT, is not cutting it. Once he turns sideways he disappears and Beason is engulfed in blockers.

there is little doubt that the rest of the team feels that way. it's very apparent.

hayden may have moved up but you can tell that when he lost weight that stepping in kemo's role was not something that he anticipated. comments that he has made about it were that he didn't think of himself as a NT and was more trying for the 3 tech which is what he felt more comfortable with.

apart from him we have only undrafted rookies, really. bodies barely big enough to fit the job compared to what we are used to. as it was we needed more depth there and were only able to get those UDFAs. for depth it wasn't ideal but serviceable. to have to rely on them for starting...yikes. i think we have big guys that are worth roster spots but not starting material.

we need a big guy in the middle for rushing downs. we can do without him for passing downs but we need that big run stuffer. finding someone on the team who doesn't agree with that would be tough to do. this isn't about morale...it's about making sure we have the best possible team going forward this year. kemo left a big hole. it's going to take someone big to fill it that isn't here.

Rayzor, I don't think we need to limit ourselves to run-stuffers. Meeks played without one in Indy, and he's been lining up one-gappers in Kemo's place since the injury.

There's time to find someone who can help. No one out there right now is worth a damn anyway.

Well, he is just speaking the truth.

You don't see Broncos players telling the press, yeah we need definitely need to find a better quarterback. The one we have now just blows. These kinda comments should stay on the inside. Going out to the media crying for help isn't going to help any.

He didn't say anyone sucked. He, along with everyone else, just thinks the young guys are not ready yet and we need a veteran.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Lol.  Now you make me defend DG. We had the best IOL in the league under DG and Oher looked solid until he got that bad concussion. DG drafted Moton and Daryl Williams as well. The OL fell apart under Hurney 2.0 and Fitterer. DG also drafted Star and Short. Sorry, but that was all in 5 drafts so let’s not make stuff up about not trying to improve hog mollies. Gettleman did a ton wrong and took the wrong guys, but he and Rivera had a deep and talented team and it got blown up really quickly. Also, I love Cam but he wasn’t the best QB in the league. He had the best year in 2015 but he wasn’t Brady. I think Dan has had a solid offseason, way better than last year but I’m not putting on rose colored glasses until we actually have a 10 win season. Again, Dave and Ron had 3 10+ wins seasons out of 5.

      Off Topic: Remember Ron Rivera on "All or Nothing"?

      Yeah I wont often comment on a coddled generation and participation trophies but this sort of begs for it. Also how did an athlete achieve at that level without getting a thicker skin?

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      Right, basically what I said. Dude is crowning Dan after a 5-12 season and 1 draft, which as of right now, wasn’t good. I wasn’t judging Morgan at all. People read what they want to read like that I loved Gettleman and think he was awesome. Nope. All I said is that it’s way too freaking early to act like Morgan is amazing. I used the Gettleman/Rivera record just like I mentioned that Rhule almost beat both #1 seeds in this first year. Morgan/Canales’ team would need to win 11 a year to get to a similar record as Gettleman/Rivera’s first 5. If you are going to given Morgan a pass for bad talent, we were 15-33 the 3 years prior to Gettleman/Rivera. Again, I think all of us want this team to win again but maybe I’m a little jaded in thinking that I enjoyed 2013-2017 a helluva a lot more than 2018-2024 and I’m not a fan of smoke getting blown up my ass like we have already back.
