Broncos at Chargers (Week 3) | Pre-game Discussion

[Riverwalk]

I've seen that movie, I didn't like it.

One reel mistake out of so many ain’t bad.

[Bolt4Knob]

Distracted? Hmmm.
The Sting, Butch Cassidy, All the Presidents Men. Those are classics

Johnny Hooker, Sundance, Bob Woodward were his characters for the three you mentioned
Roy Hobbs from the Natural
the Humble guy or whatever from The Way We Were
Jeremiah Johnson
And I missing so many

Quite the resume for Mr Redford

If Alt is named 1st team All Pro this season, the best LT in the conference, how do you say, OK go back to RT if Slater returns next season?

Because the OL is better with an all pro at both tackles versus one slightly better at left only.

Look, we can come up with hypotheticals all day long, so I can say what if Slater comes back better than ever?

How about waiting to see how the season unfolds and Slater recovers before taking a whiz on him?

I mean, its cool that Alt gets payback and all, but it looks like it comes at the expense of the play. Obviously, I don't know what Alt's responsibility is, but he ignores the guy to his left, and shoves keenan off his block and out of the way to get to that safety. Ultimately its the guy he ignores and Keenans block that he disrupts that gets to OH8. If he gets that guy to the left and doesn't shove Keenan, the blocking is there for a big gain it looks like.

They waste a play to make a point that you don’t cheap shot Herbert. Works for me. I just wish there had been a little more pain inflicted.

In the first two games last season, JK Dobbins rushed for 130+ yds and scored a TD in each game. He started his disappearing act in week 3 in Pitt. He didn't have another 100 yd game again, though he did score twice in the games against Clev and Cinn.

This season for Denver he rushed for 63 yds against Tenn and 76 yds in Indy, and scored a TD in each game.

If my memory serves, I read the Chargers did offer him a contract this season, but he reportedly was offended by the numbers Hortiz was offering and got a better offer from Denver. He felt slighted by the Chargers. Do I have this right?

The chargers offered a tender but Broncos exceeded it. He probably wanted more from the Chargers, but wasn't actively negotiating. He'll probably be a little salty playing v. his old team, but who wouldn't be.

He made a couple of salty comments when he signed with the Broncos I think.

Informative piece, leading with how Herbert beat KC's blitz-zero defense on the 2nd TD to QJ.

I love me some Butch Cassidy . . . . . . . 'who are those guys?'

[NashBolt]

Yes, I found it disappointing.

41:45: Mike Florio opines here that Hampton has been a disappointment so far relative to expectations, but the picks the Chargers to win 24-17,with Najee getting the bulk of carries. Simms raves about Jesse Minter's pass defense, he picks the Chargers to win 23-21, not cover the -2.5 spread.

Everybody is picking the Chargers. The Broncos were the media's preseason darlings, but they've all jumped off the bandwagon, what a short ride. Noted here is that the last team to start the year with 3 straight wins over division opponents was the 2006 Bears, who went to the Super Bowl that season.
