Interesting comments by another coach...

These comments were made my Broncos rookie coach Josh McDaniels and the only reason I came across them was that I was doing research for fantasy football (trying to decide on starting Nate Burrleson or Eddie Royal). The comment wasnt directed at the Panthers at all but I thought they sum up what has been the problem with the offense for years, namely the passing game.

"That creates turnovers," McDaniels said. "Defenses would love that if you would force the ball to one guy 10 or 12 times every game. They are double teaming him, and you are still throwing it to him. You are stacking the line of scrimmage on defense, and we are still running it. I don't think you can play good football consistently trying to do it that way."

This comment was made in regards to 7 different receivers catching passes last week for the Broncos. I doubt any coach will honestly tell you that they don't have a number 1 receiver but I still thought the comment was enlightening and I thought it described our situation perfectly.

Thoughts?

If anybody has advice on who to start and why feel free to comment as well.

Sorry. We just don't have enough receivers that are as good as Smitty. Moose takes a close second, but Jarret and Kenny just don't have the experience. They will both be special someday (We've barely scratched the surface of their potential), but Smitty just makes them all look like poo in comparison at the moment.

Good suggestion, but this game is just too damn important to put on the shoulders of a second stringer.

Oh jeez I wasn't suggesting we do that. I was just stating that is the reason why we can be so inconsistent in the passing game. If you shut down Smitty then thats all she wrote. I thought we did pretty well spreading the ball when he was out last year. I'd like the tightends to be more involved and I think Smitty can beat double coverage any day but he's right, turnovers are bound to happen.

We wouldn't know the talent of any of our other receivers. Jake never looks their way to begin with.

Ah, good point. He did have a decent connection with Jarrett last year on third downs but it hasn't been explored all that much. I really think Moore has a chance to make some crucial catches, I think if we study the film throughout the year we will find that Jake just doesn't look their way. Don't know if thats by design (coaching) or my disfunction (QB).

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm honestly looking beyond DC at this point. He's too green and is making too many simple mistakes. I think he's gone after next year. I think the intention in LV was to use Mayer and Bowers similar to Gronk/Hernandez in NE. That's never really struck me as Carroll's MO though after watching him for years out here in Seattle.  He's talented enough and I think he just got lost behind the phenom that is Bowers because he couldn't develop in Carroll's system. I'm surprised Bowers is used as much as he is, though they really don't have anyone else. TE's don't really exist as focus receivers in Carroll's offense. I live in the PNW so I've been subjected to a lot of Seahawks football.  Coaches other utilize their TEs. We should too. Tremble is OK, but he's always been a project as a receiver. Again, all this is of we could get him at the right price. I wouldn't pay a lot because we need to spend on defense.

      The Carolina Panthers aren't ass!

      David. Hey, money talks.....it has been acknowledged that Tepper isn't shy on spending. He's had the NFL equivalents of used car salesman after used car salesman line up to grift him of a big chunk. Canales is one of them.  Until that changes, it's gonna be tough to build anything to last.

      Well it's who they tied themselves to for at least another year but i agree. They will be lucky to find a useful contributor but until I see the DC situation change I am presuming it's SSDD. Well it sounds like maybe in 2027.
