LET'S RIDE

Glad Russ is stuck in N.Y. where he belongs..Broncos and BO Finally out of shadows from his curse...

This thread will be all about BRONCOS 25' Edition..where to start....

Let's Ride 

First,  86% of last year's roster Returning..goodbye Javonte Williams  to Boys where he needs that fresh start..he'll do well playing on Jerry World turf..good kid...as for Broncos. Solid off-season in free agency and Solid draft picks all the way to 6th round where they drafted Gator Aussie Punter who excels kicking the "rock"..Special teams will have major upgrades, signed WR Sherfield for coverage and Solid blocker....ST coach is so  excited already..doesn't hurt having All-Pro Returner Marvin Mims fielding punts 

close out 3 parlays average -220 ml  vs tenn  (sept 7th)       

Offensive Additions.....

2nd Rounder Stud RB RJ Harvey from UCF..does he have a chip on his shoulder, 

Signed FA RB J.K. Dobbins from Chargers...should have gone over 1,000 yards last year...Extremely valuable pickup solidifying RB position compared to last year....now if only Harvey can break out and use his speed to break outside..Thunder and Lightning 

BEST pickup of all off-season..TE Evan Engram...Bo didn't have solid pass catcher over the middle ..Engram could have a great year and word is  Bo and him are clicking on all cylinders. 

3rd round pick Pat Bryant from Illinois(team captain too) blocks and doesn't drop passes..future Stud WR..remember his name..

Troy Franklin,  Vele, and Mims are all young and vastly Improving. With all these new tools for BO

Defense Additions..Free Agents from 49ers because they believe in BO..middle LB Dre Greenlaw and S Talanoa Hufanga...both awesome players AND 1st round pick, Best CB in Draft from Texas, Jahdae Barron..they didn't need a CB but who can't forget all those Bills receivers running wild in January playoff game..Ain't gonna happen vs this secondary..Vastly Improved  Barron will be playing inside but fellow defenders said this kid is Extremely smart and always around the ball..Remember his name..Middle LB Singleton is back healthy, so Broncos won't be starting Strnad and Cody Barton again. Thank God..those 2 could Never cover a wheel route 

4th rounder Que Robinson is a future Stud..from LSU via Alabama when Nick Saban coached..Remember his name too..

Did I mention reigning DPOY PS2, Nic Burrito, Jonathan Cooper,  Zach Allen..This IS the Best defense in NFL this year...

Vance Joseph's Defense is Loaded..now if they just get a bunch of 3 and outs AND let Broncos running game get unleashed.

What's the winning NFL formula,...play Strong defense,  solid special teams and RUN the Rock. 

Gm Patton and of course,  Sean Payton know what the he'll they're doing.  Add in Walmart ownership money, and you have a  Solid Successful Organization..pretty simple

Now the MOST Important Bronco, Bo Nix..

He had a very relaxing refreshing off-season traveling with his wife, Izzy and not picking up a football for quite some time. He is 25, very mature.stable, good kid who doesn't cuss. His dad is a football coach, he won 2 Mr Alabama awards leading his team to 2 state championships. He struggled at Auburn in brutal SEC and flourished at OREGON. 

Drew Brees and Peyton Manning have really helped his growth into the Broncos QB spotlight. Kid is very humble, likeable, and is a phenomenal teammate according to them. VOTED a team captain last year.  He WILL not have a Sophomore slump so many of you on this site predict..More coming,  please comment if you have other opines..

Little weird how much public love Denver is getting Crusher . Although feels like a complete 180 from the disaster we had with Russ just a few seasons ago stuck in salary cap hell. Hard to not get excited about the future of this team though . So excited and think this team reaches 10 wins . LFG 

@NoFlyZone

 What's surprising are the glowing media reports of team  much improved, hungry, crisp, and what a different positive culture Sean Payton has created SINCE ridding the Russ failed experiment. Everyone is buying in because it's Actually Improving in leaps and bounds..

We're so lucky to have this organization starting with ownership.  They don't settle for failure. Walmart Experience. Those players know they'll get Paid now too..Look at Courtland. Sean Payton knows what they're doing as does GM Patton..

Payton doesn't mind the SB aspirations either. Our division IS super tough, split with Chargers and K.C. and sweep Raiders..4-2 in division at worst. Go 2-2 with NFC East, win at least 4 of other 7 and that's 10 wins. Love Over 9' wins 

Why Post all this?? I strongly believe there is SOME value betting on team totals although last year was stealing money...EZ money..But This year, not so much. 5' to 9' is a monster difference But...this years squad has filled so many needs..

Real Running backs. 3 important strong defenders in Greenlaw, S Hufanga, Barron,  offensive Additions especially Evan Engram,  Dobbins, and drafting impressive Rookie Harvey. If this squad plays up to potential,  despite Tough division foes, could surprisingly WIN division. Chargers are well coached but Broncos have Dobbins now. They Need to take down Chiefs to host playoff game  This is how you grow. Having that last second FG block was crushing 

HC Sean Payton is the MOST Important person in this squads turnaround.  He has to do A Great job coaching if they want to climb mountain top. GM Patton has done a great job acquiring talented players especially on Defense. No Question about that other than  key  inside LB Greenlaws health.

This team reminds me of early 90"s Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys. He found players that Loved playing football and were extremely passionate.Super strong Defense that could control games. Let's see if Payton doesn't screw this up and does a Great job coaching this squad. He seems to be unusually confident with this crew so far. I will post all my favorite props this weekend.  Thx for perusing my opines 

@Crusher13

 I appreciate the write up.

I think DEN could possibly struggle a ittle bit this year.  Yes, I like Payton and the player additions.  But we are talking about the AFC West here.  I could easily see them going 3-3 in the division and/or 5-6 against the rest.  I think O/U 9 wins is a pretty solid line.  If DEN can make the playoffs and they stay mostly healthy, they could be a really dangerous, battle-tested team.  And if there's a couple of key injuries in LAC and/or KC, a DEN division title is not out of the question.

I took Denver to win the West but I have somethings in my head about them that need to be solved. I have my questions but if things fall in place they can be the division winner. 

I don’t like them -7.5 in week one because Tennessee will be improved but at the line they should win. 

@bluecompass

 Dead on post..KC and  Chargers both tough..can't afford to be swept by Chargers this year...Must, I mean MUST beat KC at home, think it's week 9..Chargers will be much weaker without Dobbins and playing for Payton now..we will see..thx for posting

@spottie2935

 I Absolutely love Broncos Week 1 vs Cam Wards first ever NFL game..can easily see 2/3 interceptions in his first NFL game against that Defense..like I posted in BB's Denver thread..I don't think Titans will score over 10 points. I will be wagering on all sorts of alternative lines available..Sean Payton finally gets a win in Game 1 of season..All the best Great Spottie
