Looks like we signed a former Bronco Center. He is young and I guess Shanahan likes him. Kory Lichtensteiger

Definetely a good fit. Personally he was one of the guys I was hoping we would draft back in 2008. Hopefully Peyton Hillis is not to far away from coming here as well. Can't imagine that the Bronco's would keep him with Moreno and Buckhalter getting the majority of carries for Denver.

Hopefully the first of many o-line signings.

T.O.Killa · 01-13-2010, 11:22 PM

It looks like he was a forth round draft choice by Shanahan.

A few guys to look out for

Stephen Neal - OG - Patriots
Eugene Amano - C/G - Titans - Should be our number 1 priority if he hits the open market
Chad Clifton - OT - Packers
Antonio Bryant - WR - Buc's

Karlos Dansby - LB - Cardinals
Keith Bullock - LB - Titans (coming off ACL tear)
Larry Foote - LB - Detroit through Pittsburgh
Julius Peppers - DE/OLB - Panthers

Bryant could follow Mann out of Tampa Bay | ProFootballTalk.com

not that this should be a real shocker to anyone...

Coming off an injury filled year, he is worth a look, but not a huge contract IMO.....

For what it's worth the Buc's did have 600 less passing yards in 2009 then they did in 2008, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Bryants numbers took a dip. Of course last year he had 19% of his teams passing yards when in 2008 he was responsible for 32%.

Good player. Probably instantly becomes the best center on our roster. Can't imagine we wouldn't aim higher though.

Well the Broncos cut him, and the Vickings picked him up immediatly. Then they cut him after three weeks, makes me think that he aint that great. Shanahan picked him in the forth, so i gues he wants another look to make sure that he is not NFL material.

freddyg12 · 01-14-2010, 02:05 PM

I wonder how he'll fare in relation to E. Williams? I have high hopes that EW could eventually start at center, but he doesn't seem as cut out for the zone blocking scheme.

Scouting report on Lichtensteiger:

Birth Date March 22, 1985
Birth Place Van Wert, OH
Height 6-3
Weight 295 lbs.
Age 24
Position G
Experience 2 years
College Bowling Green State

Comment: As a rookie in 2008, Lichtensteiger saw action in all 16 games but did not start any. He has adequate size for the position with above average initial quickness, agility and balance. He understands blocking angles and does a good job of getting a fit with his hands to control opponents. He is a good knee bender who can keep his pad level down and leverage his blocks but lacks the bulk and strength to knock people off the line. He can be bull rushed by bigger defensive tackles and will find better success when he is uncovered and can help the guards to either side.

Lotus · 01-14-2010, 02:11 PM

He's the first of several former Broncos, I'll bet.

BigHairedAristocrat · 01-14-2010, 02:13 PM

at this point, he's just a body. i highly doubt he'll be our day 1 starter and there's a good chance he won't even make the practice squad. since it's shannys 1st player pickup, its getting attention. otherwise, none of us would care.

Well, Broncos cut him because McDaniels wanted his own players. The Vikings have a very solid line, and probably picked him up as a stop gap (though I don't know that). What's more worrisome is that after the Vikings cut him no one else took him in, but if he is a zone block guy he may not have worked for a lot of teams. Not sure how he'll do against NFCE NT's and DT's
