Man, if Donovan came out of the Ravens game with a sprained ankle, I don't think things are looking up for Eli Manning and the Giants' aging/injured o-line....

I have nothing to hope for, just making an observation about the state of your o-line going against a defense that just pounded our QB. Maybe nothing will happen.

Polumbus exploring options

Tyler Polumbus | Broncos

The Denver Broncos chose to waive right tackle Tyler Polumbus on Tuesday, per Mike Klis of the Denver Post, and now he'll have to venture into the uncharted waters of playing competitive football for a team that doesn't call the state of Colorado home.

According to Klis, the Broncos' new power-blocking scheme was not a match for Polumbus, who seems more of a fit in a zone-blocking scheme. Therefore, Klis opines that the Washington Redskins, Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks or Oakland Raiders could be a fit. Former NFL lineman and current Sports Illustrated scribe Ross Tucker thinks that the Dallas Cowboys or Pittsburgh Steelers might also show some interest. While everyone's in speculative mode, we'll go ahead and throw the Buffalo Bills in the mix, given their massive need on the bookends.

2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 62 | Key


Comment: Polumbus is a quality backup who can step in and give the occasional start as he develops his strength and technique. He knows how to use his size and arm length to control and steer opponents on by the pocket, but will become a leaner and overextend, causing him to fall off blocks at times. He lacks the kind of lateral range to seal off the corner vs. some of the league's better edge rushers but knows how to protect the pocket and play within himself. He does not do a great job of finishing blocks off, but he is still improving and could develop into an adequate starter in time.
