Hitman#21 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 The Rocky Mountain News reports that the Lions are close to agreeing to trade DT Shaun Rogers to Denver. A deal couldn't be official until Friday. The terms are unclear, but this is typical high-risk, high-reward Mike Shanahan move. We think it's worth it. Rogers' effort and conditioning are suspect, but he's a Pro Bowl quality defensive tackle in his prime. Denver is desperate for some help upfront and Rogers is a quick fix. Its uncertain if he'll get new money as part of the deal. http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/feb/25/broncos-closing-in-on-lions-rogers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 They've been adding DL for years. How did Dre Bly workout at CB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 man, they just always pick up older D-linemen who haven't been playing as well. Then what's more hilarious is that they don't work out in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Denver goes after d-linemen like we do with our whole team. They try for the quick fix instead of drafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzapf Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 They were so desperate for D-Line help that signed Simeon Rice after he was already cut twice last year. For some reason I see so many similarities between us and Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Denver is a text book example of how not to build a defense. Two great CB's and no DL equates to a horrible defense. I hope that some of those posters that are of a CB first mindset read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Denver is basically anti-NY in terms of building their defensive line. Rather then gathering young talent through the draft over a few years, Denver's been bringing in a bunch of old guys. Although Shaun Rogers might be the best guy they have brought in, in comparison to say: - Gerrard Warren - Courtney Brown - Sam Adams - Simeon Rice Although granted, Shaun Rogers can't stay on the field due to lack of conditioning.

CPortJGibbs89 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Are they ever going to put together a great D-line it seems like they have been trying to do this for years now. Didnt they sign like the entire Browns D-line a few years back. I just dont get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do draft, just not well. Their first 3 or 4 picks last season were all defensive linemen and all but one are bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 With the amount of DLinemen Denver has gone after the past several years, they could field three NFL teams. Im guessing they arent working out because they keep going after more. Might want to rethink that Denver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last season was the first season they truely addressed the d-line in the draft and the only one that has had an effect is Dumerville. You're right about most of them being bums along with the veteran's the acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitStickTaylor21 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 they can't find answers. they took on all of the browns' busts from a couple years ago, then devoted their entire draft last year to d-line and now they're making this trade. they're worse off than we are.
