Denver Neckbeards Open Thread

PrintSeattle will finish somewhere between 5-11 and 7-9. Tim Ruskell has succeeded adding talented depth, bricklayers, but the Seahawks lack elite talent. It's too early to know how much elite talent this draft holds*, but should it be top heavy but heavy with second tier talent, as it looks now, Seattle might trade up and draft a cornerstone player in the first and then trade back and acquire picks:
1. Nadomukung Suh, Eric Berry, Gerald McCoy, Spiller if he runs a monster 40, Dunlap, maybe Bradord, Morgan etc.
2a. Ciron Black
2b. Colt McCoy
For Seattle to be able to move into the top ten, but still have two picks within the top 64, It will need Denver to give it a good pick. The Broncos are lame. Put em down Giants.
(McCoy is short and does not have a strong arm. I do not think McCoy has poor arm strength and imagine he's slightly shorter than Matthew Stafford. However, short quarterbacks with average arms are rarely chosen early in the draft. Mark Sanchez isn't helping anyone either.)
*How would we typify the 2009 draft? A great linebacker draft and not a shit lot else?

6-10 gets you in the top ten.
If the Broncos are the teens, Seattle could potentially get any one player it wanted.
I'd guess our picks will be somewhere around #12 and #20
If the Seahawks finish 7-9 and Broncos 9-7.

Okay
1st round pick (I) – Eric Berry
1st round pick (II) – Chuck Norris
2nd round pick – Steve Raible’s mustache

I just unearthed this from March 19
I think I overpaid for Brohm.
1. WR Michael Crabtree
2. SS Patrick Chung
3. And
4. Pick for QB Brian Brohm and Green Bay’s 6th round pick
5. OG Tyronne Green
6. RB Ian Johnson and TE Bear Pascoe
7. WR Brian Hartline, CB Brice McCain, RB Devin Moore, P/K Thomas Morstead
I'm looking at mock drafts
and there’s two Charlie Brown’s?!

My fantasy league has punter and kicker slots...
if Thomas Morstead did both, he would instantly become one of the most important players in the history of fantasy. That would be pretty sick…
I often wonder why nobody ever tries to reduce roster spots with a combo guy— if of course the right guy came along.

Keyshawn Johnson
Close?

I realize he's smaller than Johnson
but I meant just body of work over a career looks like it could be similar to me. I’m not sure why.

I can't quite think of a match for Crabtree
He’s a weird mix of physical, athletic and deceptively quick.

Has Rocky Bernard even been a factor for the Giants?
I don’t recall him being on the field much.
ME! BANE!
Something about get him the pictures
Probably his way of getting back into the GM position.
ME! BANE!
The Giants
A.) Miss Plaxico (the receiver).
B.) Need to use Bradshaw more when healthy.
C.) Need better secondary guys.
D.) Have Eli Manning.
E.) All of the Above
ME! BANE!
Anyone ever heard of Jerrod Johnson he looks like he's pretty legit
big 6’5 qb strong armed he’s tearing apart the Texas Secondary right now.
If he was in the 2 or later rounds i wouldn’t mind if ruskell nabbed him
yeah just saw that he's a junior still looks like he can be good
I wonder whats going to happen to the BCS if Texas loses because Florida or Bama is going to lose and theirs going to be 3 undefeated Smaller division schools will it be Florida or Bama Vs TCU Boise or Cinci
by somepnoy9189 on Nov 26, 2009 6:41 PM PST up reply actions
Career 59.5% passer in college
not particularly accurate guy.
I don’t think Texas will lose this but if they do the pressure would be heavily on TCU.
Cinci is in the Big East which is not a mid major conference.

If he was in Holmgren's system
He’d be benched and Jacobs would get 25 carries for 45 yards the rest of the way.
Jacobs would get injured, return two weeks later with him triumphantly saying “We have the old Brandon Jacobs back.”
ME! BANE!
I'm slowly losing confidence in the Giants
Orton’s incompetence gives me the confidence that the Broncos can still blow this game however.
ME! BANE!
This Giants defensive coordinator
Should have a giant turkey drumstick shoved up his ass.
Put pressure on this sitting duck. Orton blows. No more 4 man rush.
ME! BANE!
I disagree completely
The Giants have more than adequate personnel to rush four. Protect the damn secondary, they are getting killed out there.
The rest of Denver's schedule
Chiefs twice, Raiders once, Colts, Eagles. (Not in that order)
I feel like they can lose the Raiders game.
ME! BANE!
Arrowhead reminds me of Qwest in that sense.
Even if the team is bad, you’re going to get a tough game.
SEA!
I just remember their blog being very cocky and annoying before the hawks game with them last season.
Although we did lose 44-6, so maybe they had a right to be.
SEA!
True, but I still hate them for some reason.
Actually it might be the fact that they were average in 2007 and won the superbowl, that pissed me off. Seattle was better in 2007.
SEA!
They knew how to win on the road (which compensates for their awful home record)
We didn’t.
They also had a rushing attack. We didn’t.
I would consider them slightly better than us that year.
ME! BANE!
I don't.
They just matched up better against certain teams. I think the Seahawks could have beaten the Giants, but I don’t think they could have done against the Patriots what the Giants did against them.

That pressure was near-instantaneous. How many receivers even finished their routes?

I'd like the BCS cartel to implode... limits external casualties that way.
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
Since you suggested it John... may I offer...
1. Gerald McCoy DT
2. Derrick Morgan DE
3. Tony Pike QB
Thought Process: RB and OL are both early round luxuries in a ZBS.
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
To expand on that....
McCoy looks to be a monster 3-tech in the NFL, giving us a chance to move MEBANE back to his more natural home-wrecking spot.
Morgan gives us an edge rush to compliment the immovable force that would be McCoy and Mebane in the middle. You might then go Tapp at the other end and rotate Jackson at every one of the spots.
Pike looks to be one of those “Flacco” types. Long and lanky with an arm to stretch the field. A typical pocket passer.
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
I dont really know about Pike because right when he goes down his backup does everything he can pretty much do
by somepnoy9189 on Nov 26, 2009 8:58 PM PST up reply actions
That might be a reflection on the backup, and not on Pike.
I know nothing about Pike, but I think it may be reasonable to entertain that notion until we know more about Pike.

For joy? Or in anger?
If we don’t draft a DT or a QB in the first two rounds, I will flip out in anger.
If this were our draft...
I’d be ecstatic since I’m starting to think more and more that the first round (and early second) is in a general sense for D-line and QBs. Of course you draft value when there’s value, but in this case, you’re getting value and positions that are key.
Yeah, I could be wrong, but...
When you think about Seattle’s defense being “close”…. I think it may be that edge rusher and a second bulldozer to go along with Mebane that could make the difference between “good with promise”, and a truly devastating unit. Of course a defense like that always makes your offense better as well because of the field position game, and turnovers.

Having recovered from Turkey OD, and with coffee in hand, thought I'd chime in
First, I loved Iversons 1st 2 picks, McCoy and Morgan. Not sure about Pike. Hate Colt McCoy. I thought it was ironic that he passed David Greene’s career yards mark during the A&M game. I think he’s a great college QB who will bust in the NFL, just like Greene. Having said all of that, I’d really like CJ Spiller. Jones might have to go, because he’d pout about splitting carries, but Spiller could get 20 touches per game between rush/receive/return and be a game breaker. And he meets all the Ruskell requirements. Luxury be damned. He would help us win games next year. Not sure I can say that about Morgan. DE typically takes a couple years to develop.
6 TDs today! 6'6" or 6'5". I don't know much about him, but if he's there in the 2nd,
I think it would be a risk worth taking. Of course if we opt for Ciron Black, I won’t complain.
Yeah... I've been watching PIke a bit this year. Today was monster!
T. Pike, QB
32-46, 399 yds
6 TDs
0 INT
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
I think the year speaks for itself as well....
11-0 team
23 TD’s
3 INT’s
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
Orton shaved the neckbeard before the SD game on Sunday
I was going to blame Denver’s poor play on it, but he played well tonight while looking like a high school junior.

Screw the Defense
When was the last time we used a first round pick on OFFENSE! It looks like Denver has found its winning ways and will end up being 11-5. I am rooting hard for Denver (and Seattle) to lose every game and Pittsburg to win every game to keep Denver from a wildcard birth. Seattle will probably get the 8-10 pick and Denver’s 20-25 pick.
Take a look on You Tube and watch CJ Spiller for Heisman videos 1 &2. You will drool with the thought of him in grey and green. This is how it should be:
1a) Spiller, there is only 1 of him, better take him now because we wont be picking this high again..
1b) Best LT available.
2) Best QB available. If Has was a 6th rd pick, we should find someone good here.
no 3rd round pick
4) best Safety available
5) Lagaret Blount. A stud, take no prisoners, with speed and power. most talented player left with little risk. Provides the thunder to Spillers lightning. Great combination.
LaGarrette Blount = "little risk"?
Are you assuming already that Tim Ruskell will not be involved with the pick? Because the odds of him taking Blount are pretty low after that infamous punch.
I don't think it's an impossible pick.
The thing about character is lessons learned are a part of it, as is focusing on working on past issues and mistakes and changing oneself. I believe if Ruskell thinks the guy has turned a corner, that he would be draftable by us… remember, this is the same guy that went ahead and gave approval, if hesitant, to bring Koren Robinson back. Koren’s rap sheet and history were darker than is Blount’s, and his upside lower.
I’m not saying he WILL draft him, just that we shouldn’t automatically discount the possibility.

This thread made me laugh at Seahawk fans.
Bronco fan here.
Enjoy your 24th-ish overall pick by way of Denver. The Broncos still have three games (two at home) vs KC and Oakland. We’ll finish 10-6, maybe 11-5 if we play with the intensity we showed vs NYG.
It should be a deep draft, but the only Top 10 pick Seattle will make in the 2010 NFL draft will be the one based on your record.
This trade sure hasn’t worked out the way you all hoped it would. If it’s any consolation, Alphonso Smith has been disappointing for Denver.
This is my favorite website.
I'm not sure if this is all that true....
This trade sure hasn’t worked out the way you all hoped it would.
Trading a 2nd round pick for a first round pick is a win no matter how you look at it. At this point we are just waiting to see how big of a “win” it is for us.
Looking at Denver’s remaining schedule and recent performances, that “win” could be anywhere from mid 20’s (the equivalent of a nice sized lottery scratch ticket)…. to a “win” as big as a pick in the low teens (like winning…. say…. the state of Colorado).
Could you imagine if, after it’s all said and done, you ended up trading the 17th pick in the draft for Alphonso Smith?
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
I'll concede this much
I wish we had the pick Denver got from Chicago instead of their own.
Congrats to the Broncos for so astutely unloading Cutler. It seemed like a bad decision at the time, but looks pretty good in hindsight. Almost as good as the time we got a first-rounder for Rick Mirer from - wait for it! — the very same Chicago Bears.
Next year Mike Shanahan will rebuild the Bears, and he will have Cutler putting
up monster numbers again…
