Looks like Denver is on the verge of signing "big boy" to a one year deal. I'm all for it if he's still got something in the tank and willing to work for a minimal deal. Sam's best days are definitely on highlight reels though, but I guess he can be a nice part of a rotation.

True, very true, Our line is younger and has lots of room for growth, while Denvers line is getting old...
Better watch out they might sign the LIONS DL someday soon and we all will be in trouble...

Not that Sam Adams is a huge signing or anything, but they just drafted three pretty decent DL prospects in the draft themselves.
I was just drinking the Sam Adams Summer Ale last night. Yummy.

Ok, so did you just throw that out there... or did you really look at the youth movement on both teams? There's only a couple of guys beyond 8 years, everyone else appears to be 5 and younger. But, that would mess up your argument..

Well, since they're not loaded with CLE DLinemen anymore... yeah, I guess 2 years ago would qualify as "yesteryear" in this era of the NFL.

Heh, I'm not exactly a beer connoisseur. I just know what I like. I like some flavor in my beer. I think that Sam Adams commercial said that they have like 18 different beers. I have tried probably about 10-12 of them and have yet to find one that I didn't like. I know one that I don't want to try is the cherry wheat. That just doesn't sound good at all. Also, I'm not really into thick beers like a porter. Sam Adams website could probably give you info.

I remember Bengals fans showing up here last year (since we opened the season against them) and harping on the fact that they'd signed Sam Adams. Big Sam was going to single-handedly fix their defense and shut down all the league's best backs and blah blah blah.
And then their defense actually got worse in 2006. LMAO
Not that it's Sam's fault they got worse, but it's funny nonetheless. Stupid Bengals.

Well, the Bengals had all sorts of issues last season... I don't think he's the "golden ticket" to greatness, but I like the signing. The price is likely reasonable and he started every game last year... so, he can still have a solid presence and should be a nice addition with the rotation and the younger guys.
Ah, stuck in yesteryear...
You guys DID sign Alvin McKinley this offseason.

The cherry wheat is actually really good if you don't mind quite a bit of flavor in your beer. It's obviously artificial cherry, but the aftertaste is excellent.

Very true.
According to the espn article: "A classic two-gap player, he rarely registers impressive tackle numbers, but his value has never been measured by statistics."
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2892781&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines
REALLY?
His best season ('97) he had 52 tackles. He had 19 and then 14 in the previous 2 years. If that's not a decline I don't know what is.

This is a quality signing. A player like Sam Adams is what we needed. A big fat vet on the D-Line to throw into the rotation while our rookie(s) learns the ropes. Now I hope we pick up another rookie DT from next years draft and our D-Line could be set up for years.

Not a bad signing for the Bronco's. How much does it cost to have a stump in the middle of your dline?
Most teams choose to run around him.

Stop gap. Decent signing.
Rotation guy who'll play obvious running situations. Can't push the pocket anymore.
Denver's done a fairly good job upgrading their DL, but nearly all of them are experiments outside of Moss and Thomas. There's lots of upside here, but lots of downside as well.
* Thomas is a sure thing, IMO.
* Moss will fare pretty well if he gets good DT help.
* Mebane's a question mark.
* McKinley's a familiar path that Shanahan's burnt the Bronks with before.
* Adams may or may not have anything left.
* Warren is hot and cold. Make that lukewarm and cold.
* I can't help but think Dumervil's maxed out his potential, but at least he's a known quality.
* Ekuban's plateau'd, and may descend this year.
* Engelberger is just kind of there.
* You got Carlos Hall from us -- enjoy.
* Kenard Lang should be a solid backup.
* I may be the only person on the planet -- and that includes Donk fans -- that likes Demetri Veal, but he's not a world beater.
* Wilkinson was gone before he even got here.
All in all, it's not a shabby DL, but it needs to prove something for me. Some of Denver's DL signings this offseason show an aggressiveness for status more than anything -- they reek of "look at me!".
I like the blue collar guys you sported last year, but they're backups. The rooks were good picks, but the veteran DT signings haven't shown the wit and wisdom of Donkey past.
Sam Adams? I don't know. He'll help, but I think the Bronks are just trying to blitzkrieg the DL and pray everything falls into place. If it does, they're geniuses, but their fans have as good a reason to be skeptical as they do hopeful.

Nobody's biting? C'mon.
Thomas is about as far from a sure thing as you can get. It isn't just the fact that he used drugs in the past, it's that he failed to show the desire to get on the field. How much money does he need before he decides he's set and it's time to party? I liked the Crowder pick though. Don't know what Mebane you're talking about. Brandon Mebane was drafted by Seattle.
Anyway, I think they drafted some good talent and will be a force in a few years. For now it still seems pretty patchwork.

I tend to agree with your post, except-
* Mebane's a question mark.
2007 Third Round: [Seattle] Mebane, Brandon DT 6-1 305 California
We got OT Harris in the third. I liked Mebane and wanted him over Harris but the Broncos are doing what they needed to do.

Good call. I must have confused him with Crowder -- I didn't even know the Donks drafted Crowder.
How out of it am I.

I think the Broncos took a few chances with the defensive rookies, esp Thomas... but they all are pretty highly regarded and the potential is definitely there.
The risk/reward is worth it in my opinion.
And, yes... it is a patchwork DL... who knows if it will work out or not. Decent mix of veterans and youth with the rotation. I think Sam Adams is a bit old and a bit large, but he doesn't appear to be a bad character guy and can play well given the right situation.
I think this team has a lot of balance on both sides of the ball. I wasn't expecting a dramatic overhaul this offseason, but I think they've gone about it very well. I wouldn't say they're rebuilding, b/c the core is still there, but depth is much better.

Moss and Thomas are absolutely experiments.
Thomas has SERIOUS character questions.
And there's plenty of reason to believe that Moss might not have the frame to be a full-time NFL DE. He's very tall and very thin, not a good combination for gaining leverage on 320-lb. OT's.

I'm thinking that is maybe why they signed Sam Adams... he is going to be the nutritionist for the rookies (Moss).
