Galette: The Man in a Contract Coma.

Good to see Jenkins in there. He steps up his play, and this defense will only get better. Like "Light's Out" better. It all starts in the middle.

Re: PFF Grades vs Tampa

Also, did y'all realize we are SECOND in the NFL with 5.2 per carry rushing?

Armstead. Armstead. He's the MAN.

Re: PFF Grades vs Tampa

Is it true that we've got a $100 million average quarterback?

You can win a SB with one of those, right?

Does $100MAQB come with a built in pick-6 generator?

And Football Outsiders (probably the 2nd best grading site) grades our O-line #2 run blocking and #9 Pass blocking.

Not bad at all.

Re: PFF Grades vs Tampa

I'm really starting to worry about Evans - he has looked pretty awful the past couple of games.

Jenkins, on the other hand, looked pretty good considering his situation - he was able to create some nice interior push on couple of plays, but seemed to tire quite quickly, which is to be expected.

I still don't like the contract they gave to Galette.

If you factor in inflation, the Broncos won two Superbowls with a twilight, overpaid John Elway...

though it helped that he was complemented in that backfield by one of the great, underrated running backs in the history of the league in Terrell Davis...

Even if Denver and Atlanta are Masters of the Illegal, Bangkok Crack-Back Blocking Scheme...

Re: PFF Grades vs Tampa

Our O-Line is built to run the ball (finally) as we are 2nd in the NFL in average per rush. Freakin Armstead is a stud in the run and Grubbs, too, for that matter. Where did that last run by Robinson to seal the win go? Armstead's and Grubbs' side. It is a great sign moving forward.

I am also very impressed with our O-Line depth so far. Yeah, you read that right. Lelito coming in for Goodwin the last 2 games and it seems the pass protection is a bit better. Lelito is not spectacular, but solid.

Then, there's Bryce Harris...I love this dude. Comes in at LT last week, and he didn't play light's out but he held his own. Then, he comes in at RT this week and is solid. I love that he can step in there at either tackle position and get it done. That's what you absolutely need from a back-up O-lineman.

Call me crazy, but our O-line depth is not as bad as I thought coming into the season. Coaches know what they're doing in that regard.

Not the kind of improvement I know we'd all hoped for, but I haven't given them the "poo on a stick" rating yet, so that's good.

Right now I'm just hoping to upgrade them to "Hmmmm" after the bye.
I like it. Highly objective and surprising technical sophistication with astute factual and historical comparisons. Nicely done.

Now can our receivers please catch the ball and can the O-line remember how to give our QB time to throw the ball?

I can't believe our O-Line is #9 at pass blocking.

You got me on that one, too. Drew has been sacked 4 times in 218 pass attempts, but that can so be misleading.

So, I reckon the #25 through #32 pass blocking lines were either:

1) using 3-4 linemen blocking for pass attempts
2) having most of the linemen fall down on half of the pass attempts
