seemed like both our tackles got pushed around

[Mr. Laz]

haven't had the heart to watch the game again. :(


but seemed like Welbourne was getting burnt in the passing game and willie roaf was getting shoved backwards in the running game.


they didn't have a good game

[Hammock Parties]

Willie had a fine game. We ran the ball to his side all night with kick ass results.

Welbourn sucked in pass protection, but was good in run blocking.

[go bo]

i saw wellbourne screwing up, but i didn't notice willie having problems in the running game...

given how priest did, i would say that nobody had any serious problems in the running game...

seems like whenever we ran to the outside to the left, priest had to go backwards before forwards because roaf was 2 yrds in the backfield.


running sweeps to the right worked good though

running sweeps to the right worked good thoughi think i see what you're saying now that i thiink about it...

but big willie still got the job done well enough to allow priest to make a ton of yards...

yea, not saying he sucked ... or that welbourne did either


just that they had a lesser performance then we have been getting in the past and that kept our offense from really taking control.

[2bikemike]

Well they had their fair share of penalties. I think they did ok running in the running game.

Boomer Esiason was saying on the radio a short while ago that our Dline was terrible. Hey Boomer tell us something we don't know.:cuss::banghead:

I watched part of the game again, and watched part of last year's game in Denver again, too.

People are examining Welbourn with a microscope because he's new.

Other than the penalties (which are a BIG deal) Welbourn wasn't any better or worse than Tait was last year at Denver. They got pressure on us last year too.

It's quite simple: The Broncos have decent defensive linemen.

[Rukdafaidas]

I do recall saying that was the worst I've ever seen Roaf look. He did get pushed back on several running plays on his side, which I haven't seen before.

[jspchief]

Hmm, Holmes averages over 5 ypc and probably 6-7+ ypc on the left side, and Roaf was playing bad? Good grief, I'd hate to see him on a good day.

I'm with you, jps...after watching the game again, I think Roaf and Welbourne did fine. The mistakes that they made were just VERY glaring. Denver's got an above average D-line, though. It'll all even out when they come to Arrowhead. The team just needs to put the Denver game behind them, and work on the fundamentals (i.e. fewer penalties, less drops, cleaner routes, etc.)

That's exactly what people need to do. Watch the game again (if you have the stomach for it).

People are watching Welbourn with a microscope. He had 3 very stupid penalties and that equates to "having a bad game". But he really wasn't burned in the passing game as much as everybody is talking about.
