FavoritedFavorite · Close Open Details Two Broncos, LB D.J. Williams and DL Ryan Mcbean, suspended six games each. TE Virgil Green suspended four games. League did not say why.

Well this won't help.

NFL suspended TE Virgil Green four games for violating the league's banned substances policy.

It's believed Green tested positive for a performance enhancer, although that hasn't been confirmed. Teammates WLB D.J. Williams and DT Ryan McBean got longer (six games) bans. Green, a seventh-round pick in the 2011 draft, caught just three passes for 24 yards in 15 games during his rookie season. The athletic Green was expected to have a bigger offensive role in 2012.

so they sign manning and dump The Golden Calf of Bristol at the same time. Thats Win/Win in my book.

The Golden Calf of Bristol and Manning represented by one company. Both make a lot of money for this company. If Manning comes in and dethrones The Golden Calf of Bristol and The Golden Calf of Bristol becomes a back-up this company will lose millions. So Broncos will have to cut or trade The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Haha! Manning is going to hate John Fox.

Run, run, pass, punt

LOL, yep... this is a match made in hell. And I love it. :)

I can't stand Fox for the way he left us in shambles, and I can't stand Denver for a number of reasons, so this is perfect to me.

Fox's offensive philosophy is exactly the opposite of what Manning does. He's all about the run, with a medium to long passing game (10+ yards to get the first). Manning is all about the curl routes and slants to get short yardage and drive the chains on any given down. Unless Fox turns over the whole offense to Manning (which he won't do) this is going to be an oil and water situation.

Add to that the fact that Manning's velocity has been in doubt after his rehab.... lol... yeah... this isn't going to end well for Fox.

At the end of the day, the key players here are going to walk away in disgrace, and the entire Denver fanbase will be seething in hatred. I love it.

actually i wouldn't be surprised if manning is perfectly happy running an offense that has a solid running game and excellent defense behind it. he's already a HoF lock, he knows his best days are behind him... why not run in a system that allows him to play it a little safer?

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      Yep, I always said the best way to use him in the NFL is as a full time CB, and then get 8-12 offensive snaps a game. Half those snaps he's out there as a decoy so the defense doesn't know where the ball is going every time he's on the field, the other have are play calls with him as the first read, and likely trying to get it into his hands quickly to let him make plays with his athleticism.  That also would mean he needs less practice time on offense too, as he's not trying to get his routes/timing down with the QB as he'd be running a bunch of quick hitter routes or screens to get it in his hands. How NFL GM's didn't see this is beyond me (or maybe some did and it's why the Browns traded the pick and it was just the Jags who were dumb enough to think he'd be able to play both ways full time at an elite level.

      Also reading this thread again and seeing that was a clear WoahCam alt, it really makes me wish he was still around to hear his takes on how "his guys" are doing this year. Shedeur can't beat out Gabriel for the #2 job behind old man Flacco, Hunter is struggling on offense and doesn't have a clear role, while T-Mac is proving to be exactly who I said he was and the guy WoahCam was very much down on for a while until he said he was coming around on him, lol

      Yeah, it really seems like they made that move legitimately expecting him to be a two way player which is just crazy. You just can't be a two way player in the modern NFL. The obvious approach with Hunter was to have him focus on being a CB first and basically motivate him by telling him that the better you play on defense and the more comfortable you are on the field there, the more comfortable we're going to be putting more on your plate by carving out a bigger piece for you on offense but likely always limiting that to maybe 10-12 snaps a game at most on offense. Starting him out primarily at WR was just insane. At least they quickly saw that and adjusted but they really blew it with the off-season/preseason approach and it's causing Hunter to play catch up.
