10.12.09Monday Morning JerkYeah, about those Broncos… Yes, as we heard from every announcer, analyst and studio guy, they’re for real. Their win against the Pats this weekend was very, very impressive. But hold on a second. I've got some concerns about the upstart Ponies. Namely, the running game. Up until Week 5, the Broncos had been employing a sneakily effective two-back timeshare featuring veteran Correll Buckhalter and rookie Knowshon Moreno. The arrangement was working out for everyone: Buckhalter had a really high YPC average, Moreno was doing the grunt work and scoring TDs, and the Broncos were 4-0.

10.08.09You Know Who You Should Sit?Roddy White (WR – ATL) Things used to be pretty great between Roddy White and QB Matt Ryan.

With Peyton Manning playing at a ridiculously high level, many of the Colts offensive options have avoided the guillotine that some expected to finally fall this season. This week, Indianapolis takes on Tennessee, owner of the worst passing defense in the ...

10.06.09Rating the ReceiversAfter hearing all the hullabaloo this preseason about this being ‘the year of the receiver’ because of all the backfield rotations in the league, a lot of WRs have come up short. This year should actually be coined ‘the year of the enigmatic wide receiver.’ In our RGIOQB league, due to injury or lack of production, I’ve already cut the receivers who started the year third, fourth, and fifth on my depth chart. Last week, the podcast ménage à trois discussed how elite receivers this year have been throwing up bagels - then Braylon Edwards decided to ...
