i thought bledsoe was the guy that threw the left handed pass while he was still in buffalo (his last year).

i don't really think bell is all that great myself. plenty of speed, but i think as an every down back he'd get tired and slow down (one of those guys that'd get very little production with any carries after his first 15 or so). The broncos are consistantly good on O and D though, but bad QB play always seems to bite them at the wrong time.

steelers (w/ good rookie production), colts (w/ OL work an minus a QB choke job) might be more likely...

About the time we realized we are in the depths of the offseason and any scrap of information or commentary that is tangentially related to the 'Skins will be debated ad nauseaum.

(As someone noted on another thread "10 pages on Taylor Jacobs? It must be off season" - Actually, that could be a whole other thread: "You know it's offseason b/c ....." or "Ten pages on [____]? it must be offseason")

Why so much upheaval?

I am really tired of the concept that the skins "turned over their roster" or that we changed 25% of the team (according to P. King).

We have:
OFFENSE
The same starting 5 on the O-Line. All of whom are quality starters (not pro bowlers but solid starters - guys who could start for any team).

The same starting TE, RB's and QB and primary WR.

THE ONLY CHANGE TO THE OFFENSE's STARTING LINE UP IS A NEW NO. 2 WR AND A NEW BLOCKING TE.

DEFENSE
A new starting DE (but the same 4 starters from last year).
A new WLB
A new Safety

Other than that, the same players who have been together for the last 3 years are still here and the heart of the defense (Marcus Washington, Shawn Springs, Sean Taylor) is the same.

This IS the same team as last year with some upgrades.

But yes, we did cut Cory Raymer and that will probably screw up the team's chemistry all year long.

That Guy, I'm sure Plummer threw a pass with his left hand from his own ~10 yrd line and it was picked and ran in for a TD. I think it was in 2004, during a prime time game (maybe against the Raiders if it was late in the season, I think it was snowing).

[ArtMonkDrillz]

This is from an old game log on the broncos website. The game was actually early in the season against KC, and it wasn't taken in for a TD like I thought.

Another Plummer interception allowed the Chiefs to tie the game at 17 with 11:23 left in the quarter. After a holding penalty on Tom Nalen and a false start penalty on George Foster, the Broncos were staring at third-and-23 from their own 7-yard line. Plummer dropped back to pass, and the Chiefs rush got to him. As he was being brought down the right-handed quarterback attempted a left-handed pass that landed in the arms of linebacker Shawn Barber who ran the ball 10 yards back to Denver's 7. Two Priest Holmes carries later, the game was tied.

maybe it was plummer... i just remember a blooper berman was showing on sportscenter on bledsoe and why he was being tossed from buffalo... could both of them be that dim?

they've both taken a lot of hits in their days, so I guess it is possible.

I feel like they probably got worse, but they have to known to prove everyone wrong in the past. I jsut don't see why ppl listen to this idiot, which it why I refuse to read the article, which is also why I don't know how he claims that NE can win the AFC.

But you forget about the other SI internal memo that says if the Pats sign a guy in FA, he must be smart and a team player.

Pioli is a great talent evaluator, but he doesn't bring anything that special to the table.

Might have happened with Bledsoe, but Plummer threw a left handed pass in Week 1 2004 vs. Kansas City. It was picked off.

From thus grows my lack of fear of the Plummer/Dayne combination.

Peter King predicting a Patriots/Cowboys Super Bowl is actually making me giddy. Not only does he have a history of NOT picking the correct teams, I think he was on Jacksonville/Minnesota last year, but he's a long time homer. He lives in the New England region and I think he has a man crush on Parcells. Parcells must have given him his first interview or something.

I am sure that Cowboys fans are loving this prediction, as would I if someone would pick the Skins. But the fact is, the 'Boys not only didn't make the playoffs last year, they aren't even the 2nd most improved team in our division. I hate saying this, especially with a Giant fan already in this thread, but the G-Men could be scary good this fall. TO is a beast at wideout, but lets wait to see how he performs in a run based attack first.

I love that everyone is dumping on our offseason moves, it's par for the course.

He predicted NE-Minesota and I agree that he has a really luv relationship to his patriots and parcell is defenetly his sugar daddy, I for one won't get into the SB bandwagon until our team wins at least 1 playoffs game that's the reallity.

King picked against the Skins on a weekly basis last year if you paid attention to his stellar predictions.

Predicting the Super Bowl in May is pretty humorous.

Based on my years of picking Super Bowls as accurately as Peter "Burger" King, I'm going to say for the record the match-up in Super Bowl XLI will be The Browns vs. The Saints (the Skins will be disqualified from the playoffs when Sean Taylor punches the tuna in the face during an INT celebration).

The Browns will win in triple OT on a 67 yrd field-goal. Improbably though, Reggie Bush will be nmaed SB MVP based on his record setting 432 kick return yards and 212 receiving yards (he will be held to -7 rushing yards).

I think I am as quailified to make this pick as half the people writing for SI or ESPN.

But you have to see it from his perspective: It's almost June!
