i understand trying to put players that fit what you want to do on your team, and it normally does get ugly, but hes making the team a laughingstock.

Either way you have to bring in new personnel, and it is not a quick fix, so changing schemes is not the worst thing in the world to do. I will agree entirely that they should have gotten more stout at ILB and on the DL, but again, can't do everything in one year.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Not my best metaphor. What I meant was, largely the components of the defense(the players) haven't changed much, they're just being told to line up differently and perform different duties after the snap. Big change, but it won't help them tackle.

It's supposedly about Marshall being traded or getting a new contract. Can't confirm it though.
Might explain why Brandon has been sitting out of camp.

My guess is traded because Josh McStakes (lol whoever made that up gets a thumbs up) is pretty hard headed from what I can tell. He probably said something like "Let him go, my system can make anyone produce." Plus Eddie Royal is supposedly looking really good so who knows, but my guess is a trade to a contender like the Ravens or Cowboys. The Ravens need a WR to help complete that offense because while Mason is still good, he is not a gamebreaker and he is 35. The Cowboys should never be counted out with Jerry as their owner, plus Roy Williams went down with a wrist injury and who better to replace TO than Baby TO? Plus Shanny might be coaching in Big D next year. If not a trade to one of them my next guess would be the Jets who need a #1 WR badly.

According to the Denver post, Marshall's agent walked in this afternoon and asked for a contract extension now the trial was over with. Marshall was sitting out practice today. The Broncos apparently said they were still not willing to negotiate one, so McGuire re-asked for a trade. Broncos apparently said no to that as well.
Not sure where this is headed.

Brandon Marshall and his agent met with Broncos coach Josh McDaniels on Monday, and reiterated that Marshall wants a new contract or to be traded.

Adam Schefter said there is a standoff in Denver earlier tonight. The story line I heard is the same as you did, they demand either a new deal or a new trade and then Marshall was no where to be found working out. He deserves the money.
EDIT: cvv beat me to it.

There is rumor floating around on a Denver radio station that Marshall is going to sue the Broncos regarding his hip injury from last year (that he believes they failed to diagnose properly).
The other rumor from the same radio station regards Favre playing for the Broncos.

I agree that much of the personnel moves are questionable to say the least. A new front 7 was (is) needed, especially up front. I still would argue that it is not a one offseason project, but I would agree that they could have done MUCH more work in that area.

Wow. #1 sounds likely but #2 sounds like a pipe dream.

**** you Jamie Dukes, that is not a bombshell. I think that Josh McDaniels is a joke, but Jamie obviously genuinely hates both the Broncos and Josh and he blatantly shows it.

Pay that man. He deserves it as the best young wideout not named Calvin Johnson.
EDIT: Actually him and Fitz might be the same age. Obviously if they are, add Fitz to CJ's name.
