SPEAK UP: Little News Items that Make Me Smile
2008-06-03 22:10:00 So, I’m back from my family vacation in Florida (mental note: 11.5 hours in a car with both a six & a two year old makes for a VERY long drive). I tried to keep up with all the Denver Bronco news and there are a couple of little items I’ve read or seen in video ...

Draft Memory Lane: 2003 Can We Take a Mulligan?
2008-04-18 07:15:00 As we take a look back at all of the draft selections in Denver’s history we have to peer in on the ugly as well. The Broncos draft class of 2003 sticks out as one of the poorest overall in any team’s history. Which raises the question that titles this story, can we ...

Dre Bly is not going to be a Redskin
2007-03-28 23:05:00 [editor's note, by Skin Patrol] I don't know what the implications are of the SBN Eagles Blogger having a post on our front page; perhaps the Universe will implode. In any event, I'm very busy today and the succinct title covers everything. Best of luck to Dre Bly in Denver. He signed long term to stay in Denver... http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/s-tory/10033511 "Ending weeks of speculation about whether he could be traded for a second time this offseason, Denver cornerback Dre' Bly reached an agreement in principle with the Broncos on a five-year, $33 million deal that includes $16 million in guaranteed money. Bly is expected to report to the Broncos' offseason training program Monday in Denver, whereas there previously had been questions about whether he would be there. But in the past 24 hours, contract talks between Bly and the Broncos escalated to the point where an agreement was struck Wednesday morning. Other teams such as the New Orleans Saints that thought they coul...

Rumors That Aren't Depressing Addition: Dre Bly
2007-03-27 17:53:00 Thanks to the Washington Examiner for getting my mind off Briggs briefly. They're talking about our offseason unfinished business and rumor a possible Dre Bly trade that isn't nearly as catastrophic as the Lance Briggs fiasco below. Dre Bly: If the Redskins indeed want to trade for him, it likely wouldn't happen until just before the draft, or on draft day itself. Even a week or two after his trade to Denver, a Lions source said Bly was still talking with friends about a possible trade. But, though Bly is a good cover corner, he does not play the run well and, according to scouts and a Lions coach, was known to be undisciplined in Detroit's Cover 2 scheme. The Redskins want physical corners and demand discipline. Should we bump ourselves down to the 31st draft pick, I don't know how this trade happens, although we never really had much to offer. A Bly to Redskins trade always felt contingent on Springs going to Denver, though I'm less convinced that this will happen anyways. A...

Poll: Do you want Dre Bly?
2007-03-09 12:09:01 First the results from our last Poll: Who would you take at #6? Michigan DT Alan Branch 28 votes - 32 % Arkansas DE Jamaal Anderson 26 votes - 30 % Clemson DE Gaines Adams 25 votes - 29 % Louisville DT Amobi Okoye 7 votes - 8 % Alan Branch wins, though I suspect that's just because Jamaal Anderson and Gaines Adams were splitting the Defensive End Vote. Overall DE picked up nearly 60% from Hogs Haven reader(s). Jason La Canfora has intimated that the guy the Redskins really like is actually the one few of you chose: 19 year old DT Amobi Okoye. In [one of the Dre Bly trade] scenario[s], the Skins would make a big play for the 19-year-old defensive lineman from Louisville, Okoye, to address that need, and get young offensive and defensive linemen with the additional picks (I hear they love this kid by the way). Of course that is a conditional love, based on what happens with Denver. I think we'd probably pick Branch, Adams...

Dre Bly Trade?
2007-03-07 18:06:04 Update [2007-3-7 11:22:46 by Skin Patrol]: Curly R weighs in. Update [2007-3-7 10:33:22 by Skin Patrol]: And the Denver Post which is still talking about Ladell Betts. He's not going anywhere (I hope)! Update [2007-3-7 10:30:9 by Skin Patrol]: I am so late on this. War Cry! and this morning's Post have additional details and commentary. Redskins Insider and Tandler (and I'm sure Mile High Report soon will be) are buzzing over the Dre Bly to Redskins trade rumors which, given our trade history with the Broncos, is beginning to sound a bit inevitable. Also given our trade history with the Broncos the whole idea is a bit terrifying, as we always seem to get gamed by them. Not so fast. Tandler thinks it goes down like this: Denver sends Dre Bly, the 21st pick, 56th pick, and the 87th pick. The Redskins send the #6 pick. Mathlete Tandler: Bly gives the Broncos the asset that they need to get to #6 without burning any of their picks for next year. Looking at the draft point ...

Dre Bly NOT a Redskin.
2007-03-01 23:55:02 Per ESPN: The Detroit Lions have agreed to send cornerback Dre' Bly to the Denver Broncos in exchange for running back Tatum Bell, tackle George Foster and a draft choice, believed to be a fifth-round pick. Head over to Mile High Report for his take, which was: flustered and then ecstatic and then hesitant. Ultimately I think he'll be a happy camper, as the Broncos always seem to win when it comes to trading. Or is that just with us? Frankly I'm happy to see this go down. Nagging in the back of my mind was the possibility of the Redskins trading for Bly, and with it the attendent loss of future draft picks and/or crazy terms that cannot possibly benefit the 'Skins in the immediate or distant future. Dre Bly would've made a fine CB but I just don't know how we could have played for him without giving up some serious personnel. We never had draft picks to give and, I admit, I've grown quite fond of some of our players. Especially that Red Snapper guy. I am certain that Pride of...
