The Broncos bounced back this week with the complete destruction of the Bengals. They had their opportunities, but never capitalized. Unfortunately, we may have lost Finley for the season. We haven't had any official word yet on the extent of the injury, but you have to imagine that it will be extensive with the burning of Rypien's red shirt. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. Harsin said in the post-game interviews they have run the no huddle all season. Rypien was the first QB that I felt ACTUALLY ran it, and very effectively at that. BUT, we aren't here to talk about our current Broncos, but the future ones!
Unfortunately, we had a flip this week, and I think we all saw it coming. Derrion Grim decommitted from the Broncos and jumped on the Nebraska offer he'd received not too long ago. We wish him the best of luck in his future, but the spot won't remain open long. I have to think the coaches go all-in on Bubba Ogbebor, but that's just me.
