Just went through that with my son... that really sucks for the guy.

[DJ's left nut]

Hard to say it's a huge blow when they went to the Super Bowl without him in 2013.

He's a good player, but Manning's just so precise in his timing that all the Broncos really need is adequate at LT and they'll still be fine on offense.

[In58men]

This would be a huge blow for most teams, but most teams don't have Manning.

Too bad for Clady. He's a good player who proved a lot of haters wrong.

He's not, but 2015 Manning wouldn't have been helped much by Clady either.

He'll process/throw the same as he ever did, which is what keeps him out of harms way. Now those throws won't have the zip they once did and they won't be as robotically precise as they once were, but extra time in the pocket isn't going to change that.

I'm sure the Broncos would be a little better with Clady than without him, but Manning has become so dependent on quick timing routes and pure rhythm passing that the difference will be marginal at best, IMO.

Well shit, if that's the way they wanted to go, this is a BAD thing for KC.

I'd love to see the Broncos go to 5-step drops and play-action passing. It's the only chance we'd have to actually put some pressure on the guy.

If this convinces them that they'll need to go back to the spread-out quick hitters and pick routes, that will just be a bad thing for us.

They are going to be focusing more on the run, which I'm certainly comfortable with, now that we have DJ and Devito back.

I would agree if they weren't insisting that they plan to run Kubiaks play action offense. I dint think that's a great idea for them, but good for us

I'm not worried about this at all. The Chiefs need to score more. That was the problem last season.

No question.

The Chiefs HAVE to beat Denver at least once this year and if they don't, then who gives a shit if they make the playoffs? You can't just keep getting owned by one man, year in, year out.

Yep. They really need to shore up that Run D. DJ being healthy will go a long way in helping that.

[DJ's left nut]

Yep. They really need to shore up that Run D. DJ being healthy will go a long way in helping that.

Being a credible offensive team will go a long way in helping that.

The Broncos essentially won that game giving Manning the night off because they could. Had the Chiefs mounted any kind of threat on offense, they'd have made Denver respond in kind.

That was the worst game the Chiefs have played in 2 seasons under Reid and it was bad enough that I simply didn't give a shit what happened the rest of the season. They were defeated from the opening snap. They walked out of the tunnel primed and ready to lose. They simply didn't play as though they thought they even had a chance to win that game.

The effort was unacceptable from pretty much every man on the field that night.

Honestly, I can't decide if the talent will even matter. If Manning's not healthy, I figure the Chiefs could win that game by 24 points or more - they'd absolutely curb-stomp Denver, IMO. But Manning's mere presence makes this team turtle up and die.

The Rams went out there with their hair on fire and beat him into submission. The Chiefs just get psyched out and lose.

It was also entirely expected due to the recent announcement that their teammate, leader and all-around likeable guy in Eric Berry was diagnosed with cancer.

That's not something anyone recovers from quickly, especially a group of 53 guys.

Alternatively, it could get a team to come out energized.

They came out flat and I just don't understand that. Then again, it's the same thing they did when DJ went down against the Titans. That was a game that I think we'd have eventually come around and won until DJ's injury. Then they just gave up.

It can't be a good thing that their response to adversity was to mope both times.

[DJ's left nut]

From a psychological standpoint, it's still going to be largely specific to each individual.

For the entire team to come out flat tells me that people in positions of leadership had the reaction you would have expected. However, like Tex, I've seen many people react to cancer diagnosis with friends or family with huge bursts of energy.

Yes, others will react differently, but at that point it comes down to how your leaders react and clearly ours simply said 'fuck this week'.

Absolutely. I've seen with three family members in the past 24 months or so and it's been devastating in each case.

That's great! I've never seen that happen even once.

I don't think that anyone outside of the Chiefs locker room can attest to what was said but I doubt that was the idea.

[staylor26]

We have absolutely been scared of Manning the past couple of years.

This year will be different though. This team is significantly more talented and with more depth and Manning is another year older after showing signs of slowing down last season.

What people aren't realizing is our guys were sitting home watching the Super Bowl saying that should be us we had our way with both of these teams and didn't even make the playoffs. I have no doubt this team is thinking about Lombardi's now and they know who they have to get through first to get there.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I really would just love to watch Manning have an absolutely miserable year. I kinda feel bad saying that because I really like Peyton and wish he had been a Chief the last 3 years but my hatred of the Broncos overrides that . And the thing is for the last three years the Broncos were a one man team . And now that they have Horseface involed, well, fuck the cheatin ass Broncos.

So I guess I'm glad Clady tore his ACL and I hope the rest of the Oline follows suit.

Only if Manning can get his release down to one second.

Hiding his weaknesses will continue to become harder and harder at this age, throw in a depleted line and receiving core and that team is due for an implosion... and its very likely to be the Chiefs that cause it.

It might take longer than we all want, but the pendulum never stops swinging... they're in trouble.

after Ryan Clady's injury, Broncos sign former Chiefs OT

The Kansas City Chiefs won't be bringing back 2014 starting RT Ryan Harris, who has signed with the Denver Broncos in the wake of Ryan Clady's injury.

Per @AdamSchefter and I....#Broncos have agreed to terms with T Ryan Harris.

— Jeff Legwold (@Jeff_Legwold) May 28, 2015
Harris previously played in Denver so this is actually more of a homecoming for him.

Clady, the Broncos starting LT, tore his ACL on Wednesday and is expected to miss the season. It sounds like a big injury and it is but the Broncos lost him for most of the 2013 season when Peyton Manning had arguably the greatest quarterback season in history. So maybe they can overcome it.

Harris got a shot with the Chiefs last year after Donald Stephenson was suspended for the first month of the season, and he never gave that spot up. Harris started 15 games for the Chiefs last year. The Chiefs indicated that Harris started over Stephenson because he was playing better. But then the Chiefs kept Stephenson and got rid of Harris. So who knows?

Or because we couldn't ****ing tackle or get in position to stop the run to save our ****ing lives.

I thought Houston was supposed to be amazing in coverage?

[New World Order]

Only if Manning can get his release down to one second.

Hiding his weaknesses will continue to become harder and harder at this age, throw in a depleted line and receiving core and that team is due for an implosion... and its very likely to be the Chiefs that cause it.

It might take longer than we all want, but the pendulum never stops swinging... they're in trouble.


I have heard this since Manning joined the Broncos and every year it ends with Denver giving us an ass raping.

What a crock of shit. Kubiak better learn quick that Manning runs the show and he just holds a laminated card. His job is to order Papa Johns on his headset.

[mdchiefsfan]

Alternatively, it could get a team to come out energized.

They came out flat and I just don't understand that. Then again, it's the same thing they did when DJ went down against the Titans. That was a game that I think we'd have eventually come around and won until DJ's injury. Then they just gave up.

It can't be a good thing that their response to adversity was to mope both times.

I think it's more attributed to uncertain adjustments from Sutton; losing one of your top playmaker makes it difficult to find your replacement's sweet spot within a week of practice.

[BossChief]

Teams should be able to jump the short routes on Denver quite a bit. Also, I hope our backers kill those receivers on the crossing routes.

[wazu]

This. I remember all our plans for beating Manning two years ago when Clady missed all of 2013. They easily swept us and went to the Super Bowl.

[DaneMcCloud]

This. I remember all our plans for beating Manning two years ago when Clady missed all of 2013. They easily swept us and went to the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs lost 17-27 and 28-35. In both losses, Houston was unavailable and Hali was far from 100%.

I think that it could be argued that the Chiefs played worse against Denver in 2014 than 2013.

[Hootie]

Manning doesn't take sacks. He could have McGlynn at G and Jordan Black at LT

he'd still take less than a sack a game

he takes even less now that the deep ball is no longer a viable option in his game

If they are really going to neuter the Manning offense and make Denver a run 1st team ... Peyton is going to have a terrible year. It'll be bad. It'll make Alex Smith look electrifying. Peyton Manning isn't a guy that is going to excel at 3rd and long anymore.

It's moronic. If you have Peyton Manning, you let Peyton run his no huddle, hurry up, fake audible bullshit offense. It's what he does. And the only thing he can still excel at.

I don't know why I'm smarter than NFL head coaches. It confuses me.

[O.city]

The first game in Denver in 2013, everyone was healthy iirc.

[Bowser]

Can't wait for Houston and Hali to get flagged for a personal foul for not giving a five count before rushing Manning.

[BlackOp]

This. I remember all our plans for beating Manning two years ago when Clady missed all of 2013. They easily swept us and went to the Super Bowl.

They didn't easily sweep KC...one of those games could have gone to overtime. The Chiefs were winning at halftime..until they decided to stop covering Decker. Manning made some perfect throws in that second half...his arm strength looked terrible at the end of last season though. I'm not sure he could make those same throws now...

[Bowser]

But really, is Kubiak seriously going to change the way Manning plays offense with more deep drops? Has Kubiak seen Peyton Manning play in the second half of the last couple of seasons? His arm goes dead. More running game would be ideal for them, but more long balls? Not so sure about that, even with his play action prowess.

[BossChief]

Yup. Hali and Houston got hurt in the SD before the half.

Rivers went rivers crazy that second half.

It seems like a bad fit for Manning but who knows? Peyton is Peyton.

[O.city]

Having manning run that offense at this point just seems faulty to me. It's gonna put an already aging somewhat fragile player at higher risk for injury, having him roll out and take deep play action drops consistently.

Just put him in a quick passing run oriented offense and let him run it.

Otherwise, I don't see how it's gonna work out

[BlackOp]

If Manning loses his ability to consistently throw deep outs with velocity...he's pretty much done. He'll be able to see the play in his head..but physically wont be able to execute it.

Exactly. If he stays to form from the last couple of seasons, he'll come out white hot the first 6-8 games, and taper off from there.

But as Dane said, Peyton is Peyton. He'll find a way most likely.

What made him so great was that he had the physical traits to go along with the mental side. He didn't ever have a howitzer, but he had a pretty great arm.

He was precisely accurate and had unbelievable qb traits in the pocket.

But without the physical ability, teams will now be able to scheme for him.

If he bears you with the deep ball, fine. But as we've seen recently, he doesn't seem to be able too.

I'm sure it will be a combination of Peyton and Kubiak's offense. I doubt you'll see roll outs.

I dont know..he looked done to me. He's 39...and when your body starts to fail..it fails. He actually lasted longer than I thought he would. I think Elway screwed the progress of that team by trying one more year of the Manning experiment. That window closed against Indy...I'm fine with the Broncos fading to a 9-7 team...

[The Franchise]

The Broncos are going to have to hope that they start out red hot and then allow the defense and the run game to keep them alive in the 2nd half of the season.

[O.city]

I'm sure it will be a combination of Peyton and Kubiak's offense. I doubt you'll see roll outs.

With the current offensive line they have, a play action deep drop game isn't going to be too effective

[DaneMcCloud]

While I agree that Peyton's arm looked shot in December and January, I'll need to see at least 8 games of fail before passing judgment this season.

If their run game is as strong as they intend, Manning's passes per game could significantly decrease, which would lengthen his season, much like pulling a starting pitcher after a predetermined number of pitches.

[BlackOp]

Yep..losing the ability to "take the top" off a defense will allow a lot of schematic advantages that weren't available a few seasons ago.

I guess we will see if CJ is actually a talented RB..or the beneficiary of playing with Manning. That OL is in a state of chaos. Four new starters....saw a stat that they averaged under 3 yards a carry when Clady was out.

However, with their offensive line, I don't know about the ground and pound.

Fair enough. Regardless of how easy or difficult it is I will be pleasantly surprised if the Broncos don't sweep the Chiefs for the 4th straight year in 2015. The last time we beat them Tim Tebow was their QB.

[BossChief]

I'm anxious to see how Marcus Peters does against Demarius Thomas if SS is suspended the first 2 weeks. The ball will be coming out fast and I think that's gonna be a big time matchup.

[DJ's left nut]

I'm anxious to see how Marcus Peters does against Demarius Thomas if SS is suspended the first 2 weeks. The ball will be coming out fast and I think that's gonna be a big time matchup.

I feel like Peters is the perfect style of corner to deal with Manning.

He's not a blazer, but he's so natural in his motions and so physical in his approach that he should be able to operate extremely well in the tight spaces that the Broncos used to work.

Now if they think they're going to be a play-action, deep drop team, then that changes some things. Still, Smith/Peters/Parker have enough length and speed that I would think they can hang with Thomas, even downfield.

Then again, I've been saying for 2 seasons that this secondary is well equipped as anyone in the league to deal with Manning's weapons and they keep getting exposed, so it's probably just me being a homer again.

[Hootie]

Manning is fantastic when he gets the lead and gets to run his offense at his tempo. He's the ultimate rhythm/tempo passer and even moreso at this stage of his career.

A run first, play-action offense? He'll be exposed very quickly in that.

I envision this being like year 1 in Denver for him. They try and run the 'Mike McCoy offense'...they start 1-2 and fall behind 21 points game 3 ... then Peyton says "enough"? ... switch to the Peyton offense, rattle off 4 straight TD's and win ... and then don't lose for the rest of the year.

I give it 4 games before Peyton is running the Peyton offense. Why new coaches try and tinker with that is hysterical to me ... especially when the guy can no longer throw the ball 15 yards down the field with any oomph whatsoever.

[BigMeatballDave]

LMAO Riiiiight

[Hootie]

I don't think that's going to be the case this year. I think Manning is on fumes at this point. This is the 1st year out of 3 where I realistically will think the Chiefs will win 1 of the 2 Denver games. I considered the first 6 to be losses without doubt.

Gun to my head I'd probably take Denver, I think, to win the division. But I realistically think the Chiefs have a shot. I think it's pretty close to 50/50. I'll have to see Peyton for the first two or three weeks before I can really get a grasp on it.

If they try and run the deep drop play action Kubiak offense with manning currently having the mobility he does and a rookie LT, it's not going to end well in Denver I don't think

[Hootie]

I see 23 combined wins out of DEN/KC. I just don't know who is going to have 12 or 11, or 13 and 10.

I could see :

KC 12-4
DEN 11-5

or DEN 13-3
KC 10-6

I have a pretty hard time seeing :

KC 13-3
DEN 10-6

...but the talent on the roster is there. I'm excited to see.

[ThaVirus]

Peters will probably get burnt by Sanders or Thomas. I'm not optimistic.

[Kman34]

Manning has made many a rookie CB look silly in his career....No matter how old he is...

[BigMeatballDave]

Peters will probably get burnt by Sanders or Thomas. I'm Debbie Downer.

:)

[DaneMcCloud]

Peters will probably get burnt by Sanders or Thomas. I'm not optimistic.

Getting "burned" once or twice as a rookie is to be expected. But if it's a pattern, that's bad news.

Fortunately, I don't think Peters is the type of player to get burned repeatedly.

[RunKC]

Fortunately we will catch them early in a new system with a new young OL.

I think both go 11-5 this season. Probably be up to division tie-breakers to settle it, so KC MUST SPLIT with Denver and beat the Faid TWICE & at least Split with SD.

I agree. I think KC has a realistic shot this season. I think we're going to see a different team behind Manning this year - one where running the football is very important to his team's success, rather than him just throwing it all the time. I don't think he can do that anymore.
