The Bell is Tolling

More injuries to the Broncos lineup. Selvin Young may not see another game in a couple of weeks due to his groin strain, he will be the fourth tailback on the roster to go out on injury.

But it looks like Shannahan might be getting a little proactive, if not somewhat retroactive. The most recent attempt to patch up the team is the signing of Tatum Bell. Hopefully his familiarity with the system and obvious skills will not only bolster the team's offense, but make us forget that we traded him to Detroit with George Foster for Dre Bly. You can't win em all, but there's nothing wrong with getting 2/3 of the deal on your side of the table a year later.

Broncos Machinery Wearing

Yes, it has been a disgustingly long time since we've put up a blog, but many things have happened since the preseason, on and off the field.

It is unfortunate, but with my move back to Colorado the Bronco's lucky streak seems to be breaking. We're out both Bailey brothers and DJ Williams. This wouldn't be terrible unless there were no other notable players on the defensive side of the field. Maybe it would be helpful to have John Lynch around to tie things back up, eh?

Offensively there's a lack of... well, much of anything. Rookie Eddie Royal still looks like a good on the field, as does Marshall, but aside from these two there's not much going for the offense. 14 miserable rushing yards against Miami. I mean, Miami?

Perhaps the only consoling thought, and much to the shame of the other teams, is that the Broncs are still on the top of the AFC West.
