Fly and I were talking about the Po...You nailed it. Fly and I were talking about the Portis-Bailey trade last night, I totally understand it, and Bailey's arguably the top CB in the league, but Clinton Portis is a special back. Look what they did with Terrell Davis. Clinton would've been averaging 6 yards a carry for the Broncos, and their offense would be absolutely ridiculous. <BR/>Shanahan's become a bit cocky I think, in that he can plug any back into his system and they'll do great for example. Like you said they've done fine, but wouldn't you rather just be exceptional at it? <BR/><BR/>And as I blogged about, they need to fire their d-coordinator Bob Slowik. Yeah they're probably not a top 15 d regardless, but they shouldn't be nearly <I>this</I> bad. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, they've still got a terrific shot at getting in the playoffs and maybe they figure some things out. Not having Selvin Young, Tony Scheffler, Brandon Stokley, as well as a hurting Cutler definitely hurt their offense last night. But if they can't make a play on defense, it won't matter.<BR/>Great blog.Matt Clapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455676730660881392noreply@blogger.com
