Not Exactly a KC Masterpiece

I shine over beats, a motherfuckin' beast on the mic
I'm a lion out the jungle, raw meat what I like…

PROPS and DROPS from the Broncos' win over the Chiefs:

PROPS: Daniel Graham is finally enjoying the type of success we envisioned for him when he was signed to the mega deal. It might be him finally healthy or completely getting into the flow of the offense, but he looks like his younger dominant self. Not only is he making the tough catches, but his runs after the catch show off deceptive speed, and assortment of moves and jukes, and a knack to find running lanes. When placed on the line next to Ryan Clady, the Broncos have a rugged left side to run behind.

DROPS: Someone on an opponent’s fantasy team that you’d like to see injured? Put him at RB for the Denver Broncos. Another back, Peyton Hillis, is out for extended time. Hillis also was coming into his own, pounding through holes and getting some yardage and now he will be out with a hammy injury. That leaves us with former Verizon employee Tatum Bell to tote the rock and an array of cut players will probably make the journey to try out on Tuesday. Anyone have Gerald Whilhite’s phone number.

PROPS: The Donk O-line was again dominant yesterday, creating big holes and allowing Jay Cutler to hardly be touched all game. Of particular note was center Casey Wiegmann, playing his former team and routinely matched up versus behemoth tackle Glenn Dorsey. Wiegmann more than held his own and offered some push versus the much larger Chiefs; lineman. With Denver’s offense running a variety of short plass plays and screens too, the OL was downfield making key blocks all day. The Shanny system of smaller, more agile OL was in full display.

DROPS: It has become apparent that the Donk pass rush will not be getting any better this year. Chief QB Tyler Thigpen had all sorts of time to scan the field on his dropbacks without any sort of pressure. Bob Slowik and the defensive coaches are going to have to get more creative with blitzes and the like to get some heat on the QB. SG fave Welsy Woodyard or a healthy DJ Williams would offer huge speed on blitzes. And when Champ Bailey returns, there might be opportunities to also bring DBs on the blitz.

PROPS: We never really give any dap to opposing players, but KC QB Tyler Thigpen gets some this morning. When your down by a TD on a 4th and 5 and your coach calls a QB draw, that’s ballsy. Anyone not named Tim Tebow or Vince Young is usually not going to score on that play. Plus, it’s not easy when the PA announcer sounds like he’s calling you ‘Pig Pen’ all day.

PROPS: Mr and Mrs Commish made the annual foray into the South Stands at Invesco yesterday. For those who say Invesco doesn’t attract the same Bronco fan as the old Mile High, that was surely not the case versus KC. A rough crowd to say the least: shaved heads, mullets, decades-old Orange Crush hats, a smoking section jammed to capacity, foul mouths that would make your grandmother blush, tattoos, and fuzzy mustaches—and that was just the women.
