I actually spent some time on a Bronoco's forum to find out who could be be coming here.
You can view the thread here:
Current Bronco's that Could Become Redskins - Broncos Country Message Boards
In the meantime heres some notes:
-The Bronoco's are switching to a power running game. So everyone that specialized in zone blocking is now expendable (
McDaniels: Running game will change - The Denver Post)
- The Redskins could look at picking up Javaris Moss as a potential OLB. Apparently he did pretty good during preseason after the retirement fiasco but the team didn't play him during the year. I never realized the guy was as big as he was (6'7) so it will be interesting to see if they give him a shot here in training camp should he become available.
- G Ben Hamilton is as good as gone. Seems like theres a very good chance he could be coming here. Apparently his play has slipped off a lot over the past two years, but he should be a good stop gap here, especially considering the shape of our line. Hamilton can play Guard and Center.
- One of the better guys in Shanahan's draft department were a father and son combo known as the Goodmans. Apparently they were responsible for finding a lot of the hits in Denvers draft during Shanahan's years there. It woudn't be to far fetched to see them coming here to work in the front office. However Smootsmack I'd be interested in hearing what you know about these guys.
- There seems to be a split among the fans over weather Peyton Hillis and Chris Kuper (OG) will stay or be released. If Kuper was made available, even for a fourth round pick then it would be a good deal for us. Even better though if he's granted a clean release.
- A hand full of fans over there want Shanahan to come back. One even offered a first round pick
- If ARE is cut then it's very possible that Brandon Stokely could end up here as a 5th reciever. Stokely obviously has ties to Shanahan and grew up in the Virginia area, not to mention the fact that he played for the Ravens.
- Shanahan apparently doesn't like people that disagree with him and ran a few people out of town for doing so. One such example was John Lynch.
I think Smootsmack will be happy to know that he's not alone in the John Skelton fan club. Apparently theres someone over there on their forum who really wants the Bronoco's to draft him.
