The Broncos signed quarterback Case Keenum as a free agent in hopes of boosting their offense well ahead of where it was last season Rob Havenstein Jersey , but Keenum will only have so much success if he’s under pressure every time he drops back to throw the ball.

That’s why Denver also spent some time addressing their offensive line this offseason. They fired offensive line coach Jeff Davidson and split his job between Sean Kugler, who works with the interior linemen, and Chris Strausser, who works with tackles including trade acquisition Jared Veldheer.

It’s early in camp Chidobe Awuzie Jersey , but defensive lineman Derek Wolfe already sees the group taking steps in the right direction.

“I think their coaching is really good this year,” Wolfe said, via the team’s website. “[With their] techinque, they’re doing things that I haven’t seen before. It’s making us better. So I’m happy about it. No offense Nyheim Hines Jersey , but last year, we’d get by ’em at will. Now, you’re not getting a clean win in one-on-ones. You’re not going to get a clean win. You’re going to have to fight for it.聽They’re getting so much better. They’ve got depth and they’re playing as one. They get along. They like each other. They care about each other. So that’s huge. We’ve gone two days in a row without a fight. That says something.”

The Broncos have missed the playoffs the last two years and their offensive shortcomings have been the leading reason they fell short. A better unit is a must if they’re going to change their fate this year and a competent offensive line would be a good place to start building it.

The NFL seemingly wants to solve its anthem problem with its latest “compromise,” but by definition that can’t be a unilateral decision.

So the guys they’re ostensibly compromising with just wanted to point that out.

NFLPA聽assistant executive director of external affairs George Atallah just tweeted out the union’s fundamental confusion about the league’s apparent decision to allow players to stay in the locker room Nick O'Leary Jersey , but to demand that anyone on the sidelines “respect the anthem.”

“Maybe this new rule proposal that is being voted on is a “compromise” between the NFL office and club CEOs on various sides of the issue,” Atallah wrote, “but certainly not with player leadership; we weren’t there or part of the discussions.”

That’s the first and most obvious problem with the NFL’s hurried attempt to create a policy which will make the fewest people (or that one person in particular) unhappy.

Now they appear to, or have set the stage for Stephen Hauschka Jersey , their entire labor force wondering about the impact of a decision they had no input on.
