Okung's overrated. Nothing special about him right now. He didn't really improve the Bronco's O-line, and that right there should raise some red flags.

Then again, they did have the worst RT of the 2016 season.

When your QB sucks not much you can do. Denver's problems are more than players on the line.

Siemian has potential. Only reason he didn't get sacked to a terrible rate was because of his mobility.

I can assure you every Bronco fan knows their line sucks, and should be first priority. Their RT was PFF's worst RT by a longshot, and their center is the only one who had a decent grade.

When you are let go by two teams (Seattle, Denver) with terrible lines it doesn't instill much confidence in him being an upgrade.

Seattle's philosophy doesn't involve investing in OL period, and, like Denver, doesn't have near the rosy cap situation we do.  Representing himself, his deal was really only a one year deal with a lot of smoke and mirrors and his option wasn't favorable to the Broncos going forward (similar to the Jags with Beachem).  He should not be option #1, but he should be firmly entrenched on the list of options.  He's still only 29/30 and has played in many big time football games.

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
