^I KNEW PLUMMER DAYS WERE NUMBERED. THASCARY1 WAS DEFENDIN' HIS PUNK ASS, AND I KNEW THE BRONCOS WERE gONNA PUT PRESSURE ON HIM BY gETTIN' SOMEBODY FOR THE FUTURE. WE DON'T NEED A CHOKE ARTIST.

EDJ, I understand you watch Denver sports but do you understand Denver sports? PLummer only has 3 years on his contract left....how long does it take to learn this offense????? 3 years!! Wow makes since to draft a young good qb right now doesn't it?

It has nothing to do with my uncle's cousin walking to get a smoothie from Jamba Juice who knows the girl who sold a shirt to Plummer before he went to a workout. There was no shit talking about the team, he may not like the comments that come out of Denver..but guess what...welcome to Denver

He will be 35 when the contract exspires. Should we renew a 35 year old for 3 more years, or get a great armed accurate running qb out of college now for the next 15 years?

wow hard choice...but yes it is because they want to but pressure on him, and yes he is going to go out early like Robert Smith.

You won't hear why from the media, but here's the real story.

Over the last few months, Plummer's been talking down on the Broncos. While in the weight room in the off-season he was talking shit about the mandatory off-season lifting and all the criticism coming down on him. He confided in someone that he had plenty of money and planned to retire soon. He wanted to retire in a way that it was kind of a shocker and unexpected. Jim Brown/Robert Smith style while still fairly young. One of the Broncos veterans happen to hear the conversation (or was part of it) and went and snitched on Plummer. Letting the coaches know of his intentions. The Broncos decided fuck it, if he's gonna fuck us we're gonna fuck him by drafting Cutler. I am guessing that Plummer's erratic play had a lot to do with it too.

And on to Ashley Lelie:

From what I hear, they tried as hard as they could to ship him out. Only one team (TB) would talk to us and they wouldn't give up anything. Sounds like the Broncos don't want him at all. His attitude is getting him on everyone's $hitlist. No one in the organization, from Bowlen to the janitor, wants this guy around. Doesn't want to workout with the team in the off-season either.

So Big D, please tell me your sources? Both of these "truths" are laughable.

We got calls from GB, Tenn, SF, Det, TB and Philly for ASShlie. But they all wanted to give next to nothing (6th or 7th rounder), while Denver was looking for a 4th or A player and draft pick trade. One of the scenarios was Walker and #5 for Lelie # 15 #37 and a later today pick.

Other talks were Lelie to SF for an early pick or a swap of wr's

He is mad at the orginization but thats because he is a litle bitch ass crybaby that can't take the heat. He is mad because Denver went shopping for TO and he felt he should be #1....well you know what he would be #1 if he could gain some weight and get off the line instead of getting jammed everyplay....or how about catch the goddamn ball when it's throwin to you.

Then when TO was no longer he was mad Denver was looking for Javon amd Keyshaun Johnson. He just wants a spot given to him but doesn't want to put in the work to earn the higher spot.

Wll you know what? WE ARE KEEPING HIM AND HE WILL HAVE TO LIKE IT, YOU KNOW WHY?

He wants to get paid and be a #1 somewhere, well this is his final year under contract so he needs to perform and show it instead of relying on what could have been.

damn i like that pick of Bing for the raiders - i wonder why he slipped so far. Must have been injury concerns.
yeah he may turn out to be a steal for a 2nd day pick.... From what I heard he may play LB

round 5 Parys Haralson
Height: 6-1 1/4 | Weight: 253 | 40-Time: 4.80

Strengths:
Tremendous pass rusher...Quick and explosive off the ball...Has been very productive...Is a terror off the edge...A tough player and team leader...Does a good job of staying off the ground due to great balance...Gives great effort and has a motor that never stops...Understands leverage and knows how to use it.

Weaknesses:
Lacks the size and bulk of a pro defensive end...Does not hold up well against the run...Struggles to shed blocks...Will get pushed around and engulfed by larger offensive lineman...Does not change direction well and isn't very fluid...Relies too heavily on a speed rush...Might have to make a position change at the next level.

Notes:
A 'tweener who will not be a fit in just any scheme and might be best suited for a 3-4 outside linebacker role...Never discount the value of a pass rusher and he could end up going higher than you many think based on that skill alone...One way or another this guy will carve a niche for himself in the pros, whether it is as a defensive end, outside linebacker or situational guy depending on the scheme.

hopefully he can start right away..

really? i think he may not be able to take the banging of a LB. i can't picture him being a LB.
not a full time LB.. more like a safety/lb type... Sorta like we had C. Wood last year, had him at safety and had him lined up with the LBs for blitz packages

Gil Brandt's Analysis
He doesn't have good coverage skills for a safety, but they announced they're going to play him at linebacker. He's a good player who has a good opportunity to convert to LB.

Some more on Bing

Adam Schefter reports that the Oakland Raiders will move fourth-round selection Darnell Bing from safety to linebacker.

Bing, who like most of his USC colleagues ended up sliding in the draft, is considered a little slow to be a safety, but he'll be regarded as fast for a linebacker. And he's definitely got the size to make it work.



The conversion worked for: Cato June, Derrick Brooks, Ian Gold..... Could Bing be next? we'll see

just got OG Kevin Boothe

Strengths: Possesses outstanding overall size. Possesses very good overall strength. Has long arms and massive hands. Is a strong, powerful, aggressive and tough run blocker. Shows the ability to drive defensive linemen off the line of scrimmage. Possesses a powerful upper body; will jar defenders with his hand punch. Is quick and shows adequate agility in the short area. Takes good angles as a run blocker. Is a natural knee bender. Can anchor versus the bull rush. Does a good job of using his long arms and strong upper body to keep separation in pass pro. Shows adequate lateral mobility. A hard worker and tough competitor. Is intelligent and picks up new schemes/techniques quickly.

Weaknesses: Level of competition is a concern. Can he anchor versus stronger bull rushers and hold up on the perimeter versus faster edge rushers in the NFL? He shows good quickness for his size but lacks ideal mobility and speed. He will have some trouble consistently reaching the second-level and hitting the moving target in space in the NFL. He also has had durability issues throughout his high school and collegiate careers.

Overall: Boothe redshirted in 2001 and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle at the end of that season. He returned healthy in 2002, when he started 10 games at right guard. Boothe missed one game due to broken bones in both hands as a sophomore in 2003 but he started the other nine games at right guard  even when he had a cast on both hands. He moved to the right tackle position and started all 10 games as a junior in 2004. He moved to left tackle as a senior in 2005 and was a fulltime starter at that position. Boothe is a late-blooming prospect who showed up on campus in 2001 weighing 368 pounds. Since then, he has lost 50-plus pounds while greatly improving his agility, strength and stamina. Boothe has had some durability issues throughout his career but he also has played through a lot of pain and has shown great competitiveness. He has proven to be a versatile lineman throughout his collegiate career and could serve as a "swingman" type at the next level, but Boothe projects best as a guard in the NFL. There are obviously questions regarding his level of competition coming from the Ivy League, which is why Boothe is a bit of an enigma right now. After failing to impress during post-season workouts, Boothe warrants consideration early on the second day of the 2006 draft.
