2022 Broncos' Season, Offensive Line

 


The 2022 off-season races ahead and we're just over a month from Training Camp. As we make our way toward Training Camp, I'm looking at the Broncos' roster. This week, that means looking at the Offensive Line.

Offensive Line
On the Roster: Lloyd Cushenberry, Luke Wattenberg, Ben Braden, Tom Compton, Graham Glasgow, Zach Johnson, Quinn Meinerz, Netane Muti, Dalton Risner, Billy Turner, Sebastian Gutierrez, Michael Niese, Calvin Anderson, Quinn Bailey, Garrett Boles, and Casey Tucker
About: Offensive Line is not only a foundational piece of a football team, it's one of the toughest positions to get right. The Broncos are currently carrying 16 lineman on the roster, but when the final cut down comes they will have eight to 10 players. That means this will be one of the biggest and most competitive groups when it comes to Training Camp. 

The Broncos have some good talent in this group, too. Boles has developed into a fine tackle, while Risner, Meinerz and Muti figure to make the final roster at guard. Cushenberry has struggled some at center, so it remains to be seen if he holds that job heading into the season. Perhaps the biggest area of intrigue is right tackle. The team brought back Turner, but he played guard in Green Bay. The team also has the veteran Calvin Anderson who might be a favorite at the position. Another big question is Glasgow, in the last year of a free agent deal. He might be on the roster bubble.

What will also be interesting is to see how some of the younger players develop throughout training camp, and how the team adjusts to the new offensive scheme. Like so many others, this will be a fascinating group to watch develop.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju...

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...
