Fragen und Antworten » Could Case Keenum retire a Bronco?

It’s obviously a bit early to think about Case Keenum’s legacy in Denver. The man’s only just completed his first preseason with the Denver Broncos John Elway Jersey White , but Case left no doubt what he hopes to do.Case Keenum says Broncos can be 'pretty special,' and he wouldn't mind retiring in Denver - CBSSports.comThere’s been a ton of speculation about the Broncos new quarterback all offseason and opinions are pretty split on Keenum. Can he pull off another season like he did last year with the Minnesota Viking’s or will he revert to the career journeyman he’d been previously?I took a long look at Keenum over the summer for GIF Horse and the link to that is here, but I’ll add a couple thoughts I’ve had since watching Keenum in the Musgrave offense this preseason.He looks comfortable in both the offense and pocketKeenum trusts his receivers to make the play and delivers in the face of pressure. It’s a strength of his. It helps when you throw to the 6’3 Courtland Sutton, who’s earning a lot of “baby Megatron” hype for his work this summer, but in all 3 games Keenum played he displayed trust in his pass catchers to make plays on the ball. With the youngsters like Sutton and Daesean Hamilton as well as the returned health of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders this Broncos receiving corps could rival or even surpass what Keenum had with the Vikings.One thing that bears monitoring is how Musgrave manages that gunslinger mindset. In Minnesota Pat Shurmur mixed in a ton of routes where Keenum could check the ball down if things got hot in the pocket. It helped lead to Keenum’s career year as far as completion percentage.While Denver doesn’t have a tight end as accomplished as Kyle Rudolph, Devontae Booker has earned the coaching staff’s trust for his work on passing downs while rookies Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman both show promise as receivers. Musgrave also proved time and again he’s happy to utilize running backs in the passing game during his time coordinating the Oakland offense.The Keenum-Sanders connection could be specialThese are back to back plays. Keenum has looked to Sanders early and often in the preseason.Sanders mentioned this summer that Keenum is a guy that will work after practice. Sort of like one of Sander’s previous QBs. Questions remain, of course. For one, there are fans that are far more excited to see what the Broncos have in Chad Kelly than the 30-year-old veteran. Mike Florio has already asked the question:When will Chad Kelly start for the Broncos? – ProFootballTalk What do you think Broncos country? Still Grazin’? Other Broncos stories to catch up on.Royce Freeman named the starting running back.I called this one back in May Womens Royce Freeman Jersey , but Freeman’s gone from a dark horse OROY candidate to one of the favorites since. He’ll be the first Broncos rookie to start at running back since Terrell Davis. In other Freeman related news, he’s changing his jersey to 28.Broncos 10-man practice squad finalized.I for one am beyond pleased the Broncos managed to stash Jeff Holland. I didn’t think he’d make it past teams like the Packers who are really light on the edge. The Broncos tried to trade Paxton Lynch, but no one wanted him.People are still debating who’s fault Lynch’s fall from grace is on my Twitter feed. Leave the dead horse lie. At least he’ll have time to help his girlfriend sell her house now. Su’a Cravens to the IR. The hope is that Cravens’ can make it back in 8 weeks, but it’s the same injury he had last year that started the controversy in Washington. A real bummer, as Cravens has become a bit of a favorite to help the Broncos D slow down tight ends and running backs. Both Jeff Essary and I have been giddy about his promise all summer. Kevin Hogan signed to replace Paxton Lynch. If the preseason NFL Gamepass provided an All-22 I had given some thought to doing a quick film review of Hogan’s work with Washington. Alas it doesn’t. Hogan succeeded Andrew Luck at Stanford and is one of the many, many quarterbacks to have played for the Browns since 1999. He went from their practice squad to his first start in less than 6 weeks back in 2016.

The Huskies finished the year 1-11 and made some dubious history as their defense broken the record for points allowed in a single season at 605. They allowed 49 or more points in 10 of their 12 games and their only win was over a FCS team. Lost in the doom, gloom Courtland Sutton Jersey , and boom of point after attempts was Ryan Crozier, who came back from his second major knee injury to start all 12 games at center for the Huskies. In total he started 29 games during his UConn career and comes to his initial Broncos camp as a prospect for the interior offensive line where Mike Munchak is looking for depth. The goodMade line calls in college29 games of experienceGreat athlete for the positionExplosive moverLong armsThere’s two ways to look at Crozier’s injury history. The optimist will point to what UConn’s coaching staff had to say about him: Even better, with the Broncos moving to an outside zone heavy running scheme a player like Crozier looks like a clean fit. His mobility will help on blocks at the second level and his long arms should give him extra space to lock onto pass rushers. Combine that with his experience and there’s a lot to like about him as he makes the jump. Also, a fun fact: he’s already been on ESPN’s NFL Live. The bad2 serious knee injuries are no joke.Strength a question. Probably at least year away from NFL power.Played for a slew of coaches.Will turn 24 during the 2019 season.I’ll admit I’m a big fan of the 29 starts, as I prefer offensive lineman with real experience at the college game before they try to swim in the ocean. What’s a bit complicating in Crozier’s case is that he had two head coaches, five offensive coordinators and four offensive line coaches. Combine that with the fact that he may need to bulk up in an NFL weight training program at nearly 24 years old and it’s fair to wonder how much better he can get. This isn’t a death knell by any means, after all former Bronco Matt Paradis came to Denver as an older rookie as well and still wound up as a key contributor for most of his time in the Rocky Mountains. It is something to keep in mind, however.Ryan Crozier’s roster status with the BroncosA lot depends on Crozier’s ability to play the guard spots in addition to center. The Broncos have a lot of bodies competing for time on the interior offensive line and will probably carry just 8 on the 53 with at least 4 tightly locked up. Connor McGovern Royce Freeman Jersey White , Dalton Risner, Ja’Wuan James, and Garett Bolles surely aren’t going anywhere. Both Ronald Leary and Elijah Wilkinson’s status are a bit murkier, but they probably stick as well. That leaves 7 interior offensive lineman fighting for maybe 2 spots. Chances are Crozier’s playing for a spot on the practice squad this season with an eye towards 2020 as a real chance to stick to the active roster. It’s a route taken by many undrafted rookie linemen and it’s certainly worked out for quite a few in Broncos history. The practice squad would give the former Husky a chance to build up his body and become acclimated to NFL speed while Coach Munchak would have the opportunity to refine his mechanics.
