I think that it might be time for the final member of the Broncos last Super Bowl team to retire. That would be Tom Nalen who got bad news this morning about his right knee. 

Tom Nalen will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery for the second time in two months. Nalen is expected to miss the rest of the preseason after actually coming back to practice a few days ago.

The Word is back for this week. Here we are going to go over Brett Favre and his Fantasy Football value, and also give you some questions about Fantasy Draft Prospects.

A lot of people when they saw that Brett Favre was coming back to the NFL rushed to come put him on their Fantasy Football Teams. Some put him as a backup, some a starter. The people who put him as a starter were complete idiots. Let me explain why:

McCree, Abdullah, Answers At Safety?

John Lynch is gone. It is tragic. Though we have to move on and keep our chin up through the rest of the season. His departure may hurt the team but it will not destroy us. We can still be playoff threats. 

Though it makes us ask the question about whether we are going to be able to hold down the position at Safety this next year. I question whether Marlon McCree and Hamza Abdullah are the answers at Safety. They are both decent players but I have a right to worry.

Who Are The Broncos Players Like?

I was thinking last night about Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall and who they were like in the NFL. It made me think more about who else we could compare people in the Broncos organization to. I came up with several and I have them here for you to enjoy!

First off I wondered who our QB’s were like. Surprisingly I came up with a team we just played. The Cowboys. See first of all it is scary how much Romo and Cutler are alike. Both of them began their careers in the same year. They both seemed hopeless stuck behind franchise QB’s but they fought them off and now are their respective teams new franchise QB’s.

I just thought you guys would want to know that we have a new fan poll in the Sidebar. The question is who should play back up RB to Selvin Young. Your choices: Ryan Torain, Anthony Aldridge, Michael Pittman, or Andre Hall.

We gave a new design to the polls and I hope that you guys enjoy it! Thanks to Poll Daddy as always for the awesome polls.

This is interesting. As you know one of my favorite sites is Pro Football Talk.com. They do a great job over there and recently released their WR rankings.

These of course are considered very valid and important rankings. So when they speak up I listen. I was impressed though with their rankings especially one single part of it. It even ranked Terrell Owens and Randy Moss correctly. Here are the rankings:

Game Review & Team Prognosis

That was quite a game for the Broncos. Our performance in the first quarter was absolutely magical. No joke. We played fabulous. Or at least we did with our first team. 

Some of our plays were not beautiful by any means. But they worked. That is what matters. We even coined a new name for Patrick Ramsey. The Pat Rat. We were there the whole time as Jon Krause and I live blogged the whole game.

Saturday’s Horsing Around With Jon Krause

This fall (and ONLY this fall) I’ll be a Pat fan, John Lynch has signed with the Patriots! In Denver’s first regular season they will play Vs. former Bronco Javon Walker on ESPN, on Monday Night Football. Then, seven weeks later on Oct. 20th on ESPN Monday Night Football in New England the Broncos will face the great former Bronco safety Lynch. When John signed with Denver in ‘04 he thought that he would finish his career with the team. But the nine-time pro bowl pick has signed a one-year $1.5 million contract.

“I thought Denver would be my last stop, but things happened and here I am,” John Lynch quoted.

It’s been about 4 whole years since I have gotten to see my all time favorite jersey. The Broncos jersey’s that are plain orange and nothing else. 

Though the Denver Post announced that we do not have to wait any longer. The Broncos are going to be wearing the alternative jerseys twice this season. (Our alternative’s are the orange jerseys).
