Texas Teed Off

Let me freak the funk,
obsolete is the punk that talk more junk than Sanford sells
I jet propel at a rate that accomplish their mental state
as I invade their masquerade...

PROPS and DROPS from the Broncos loss to the Texans and the football weekend:

DROPS: One thing they Donks can say they improved on in 2007 is the date of when they were eliminated. With the Chargers complete throttling of the Lions and the Browns snowball defeat of the Bills, the Donks find themselves playing out the proverbial string. Note the Chargers taking the Lions to the woodshed, a team that hasn’t won since they spanked the Donks in early November.

DROPS: The NFL might want to extend the official Red Zone designation for the Broncos only to anywhere inside the 40 yard line. Anytime they passed this mark, the offense seemed to become predictable and stale. Mistakes in the form of penalties would mount and the team would find themselves in no-man’s land with the option of short punt/long FG/go for 4th scenarios. A game that could’ve easily been 21-10 had the offensive mastermind that is Shanny found any sort of game inside the 40.

DROPS: The big focus has been on the less than stellar play of the defensive front, but we would be remiss to discount the below average linebacker play. Ian Gold has been pedestrian at best this year, and when Jamie Winborn is flying all over the field, it may be time to look hard at a top notch LB draft pick or free agent. DJ Williams has had a solid year adjusting to his new spot, coupling him with a speedy teammate on the outside could be beneficial for the beleaguered unit.

DROPS: It seems all but inevitable that Shanny will once again make the coaching changes on the defensive side of the ball. Fourteen games in and the Jim Bates lead unit just doesn’t seem to “get it.” When the ‘D’ is ranked in the bottom quarter of nearly every statistical category, someone has to take the fall. Shanny needs to be the one ultimately responsible, he’s the one who keeps hiring these retreads and allows them to completely retool the defense in what seems like every year. Perhaps it is time to hire a younger, hungry coordinator who can get some fire into that side of the ball.

DROPS: Good morning Invesco Field, how many empty seats do you expect Dec 30 when the Vikings come to town? Cheap tickets available.
