Will Drew Lock get playing time in 2019The glow of the 2019 NFL Draft is slowly wearing off. The offseason has hit that lull where the most important thing going on is silly arguments about hypotheticals. Rumor and conjecture about draft picks give way to projections and grades. After Mase and Steve serenaded Ryan for his birthday, Mike Clay of ESPN joined 1st & 10 at 10 on Orange and Blue 760 to do some projecting and grading.The big question that started it all off was in regards to Clay’s projections about the Broncos season, and Joe Flacco and Drew Lock. For reference, Clay has the Broncos winning 5.9 games and losing 10.1 games. That’s enough for third in the AFC West, and gives Denver the 6th pick in the 2020 draft. The interesting aspect of this projection is where it puts Flacco and Lock’s playing time. According to Clay, Flacco will play 11 or 12 games, and Lock will play 4 or 5. The Flacco era will be short and abysmal if this is the way the 2019 season plays out for the Broncos. However, that seems to point to the Broncos heading in the right direction at QB.That’s an interesting argument to make. Flacco being bad, and handing the reigns over to Lock could mean the Broncos are moving onto their QB of the future sooner rather than later. Broncos Country would be furious with another 5 or 6 win season. If it ushers in the era of the future star QB, maybe that will soften the blow.Of course, that assumes that lock is the future. Steve Atwater asked what has to happen for Denver to be in the market for a QB in 2020. The name Nathan Peterman was evoked by Clay. That’s would be a collapse of epic proportion for Lock. That doesn’t seem likely, and means Denver will be out of the QB market in the next draft.Fans have struggled through back to back failures, but the thought of a third losing season in a row seems impossible. It has never happened in my lifetime, which is why I struggle to imagine such a world. If it ushers in Denver’s future star, I suppose it will be seen as a good thing in the future. I’m not quite ready to consider the alternative. The Denver Broncos started the game with one player back from injury, Brandon Marshall and four guys as healthy scratches - Su’a Cravens, Shane Ray Womens John Elway Jersey , Demarcus Walker and Niko Falah. The other two inactives are injured - Chris Harris Jr and Shaquil Barrett. CHJ should be shut down for the year now that the games don’t matter. The Broncos need all of their young CBs who will be back next season (no, I don’t think we should retain Bradley Roby) to get game-day experience. Brendan Langley and Isaac Yiadom (when he’s able) both need to get more trial by fire. So does Demarcus Walker. The Broncos have now wasted another year of his potential. He will probably never be the next Michael Bennett, but at this point we still don’t really know what we have in the former second round pick and that is sad after two full seasons after drafting him. Offensive Snap PercentagesDaeSean Hamilton played all but one offensive snap (99% - career high for him) and played well in the loss. Matt Lacosse played a career high 93% of the offensive snaps and looked like a decent receiving TE. Our OL as it currently stands has now played five complete games together. Unfortunately, while this should mean that they are getting better as the grow more comfortable playing in their new positions and playing next to the guy or guys on either side, they are not. The last two weeks opposing defensive coordinators have stacked the box and dared Case Keenum to beat him with his arm. He hasn’t been able to do so and our patchwork OL is not capable of generated a running game against stacked boxes. Defensive Snap PercentagesIf Shane Ray wants to complain about being a game-day inactive (while Jeff Holland was active), he needs to shut his mouth. Ray had played in 40% and 43% of the defensive snaps in the past two games with one total tackle to show for his time in the game. Shane Ray has 253 defensive snaps on the season and has 10 total tackles, 1 PD, 1 FF, 1 sack, 1 TFL and 1 QB hit. Jeff Holland had 21 defensive snaps on Saturday and had two total tackles (1 solo). I said it last week when Shane Ray played - no one noticed because he had zero impact on the game. So yeah, Jeff Holland, recently called up from the practice squad, played 31% of the defensive snaps. Brendan Langley because of a concussion did not play a single defensive snap, even though he would have had be been in the game. The Broncos were using both Will Parks and Justin Simmons as CBs late in the game because of the loss of Roby (bit his tongue during the game), Langley and Jamar Taylor (who was thrown out on his second defensive snap for throwing a punch). Because of the need to use safeties as cornerbacks, Dymonte Thomas played a career high 34% of the defensive snaps (and had an interception). Marshall played 54% of the defensive snaps and looked quick and decisive making a couple of noticeable plays in the passing game. With Marshall’s return Todd Davis was given some rest - he only played 72% of the defensive snaps last game after being in the high 90% in the previous two. Will Parks also played well when pressed into service - he played in 72% of the defensive snaps and had one pass defended and four total tackles (3 solo). Justin Simmons and Darian Stewart again played every single defensive snap, but Stewart continued to look slow and ineffective when he showed up on screen. He did account for 4 tackles (2 solo), but we exposed multiple times in coverage.
