vs. Dallas Cowboys (L 20-31)
Well that was quick. One week into it and things don't look promising at all. The Broncos claimed to have not put in a game plan for
Saturday night's game againt the Cowboys. That's not hard to believe at all.
Thus, I have decided to not put in a game plan for this week's recap. If the Broncos can half-ass a game, I can certainly half-ass
a recap. This game (and this column) are like a bad casserole-- just have to set it aside and throw it out after three days.
Sure, I can talk about Travis Henry's knee injury or Dre Bly's fumble recovery and interception, but when the entire team
looks like a dried-up armadillo on the Texas Intersate, there's nothing to embellish.
The defense appeared amazingly incompetent as guys like Sam Hurd and Patrick Crayton were made to look like...well, Terrell Owens, circa 2000.
No pass rush existed, but Adams the Hutt made sure to take up two blockers on just about every play. Ebenezer Ekuban was lost for
the season with an achilles tear, so they're now left with three rookies, some waiver wire fodder, Kenard Lang and Elvis Dumervil.
Gerard Warren was left behind and on Monday found himself signed, sealed and delivered to the Raiders. The Broncos must have really
been desparate to off-load Warren if they dealt him to the Raiders. Or maybe he's a "deep spy" and will proceed to
screw up Oakland's salary cap and take up roster space for the next two season.
Mike Bell went out with a hip injury, but unfortunately it wasn't a season-ending case. He'll be back for the first regular season game to back into
more piles. If there was a bright spot on the offense, it would have to be wide receiver Brian Clark. Even before he grabbed a second half
90 yard TD from Patrick Ramsey, Clark appeared to be taking David Kircus's spot on the roster. Kircus has faced some ridiculous
off-field problems, stemming from alledgedly punching a guy at a party back in May. On the field, Kircus hasn't done much since then,
so he may be back to working at Subway in September. Clark might beat him out for that "Third or Fourth Receiver Who Disppears in the Regular Season"
role.
So the Broncos got a week in the Texas heat, got to catch up with old coach Wade Phillips (and his belt buckle collection) and
proceeded to get pummelled on Saturday night. Time to come home, talk themselves up and play the juggernaut BROWNS this week.
