"...I would think that about the one position that takes the least understanding of the current scheme of a team is nose tackle..."

Positions in the Broncos organization that require the least amount of understanding or intelligence:

1. Owner's son.

Try and beat that.  :-)


Peko and Kerr are doing ok.  With Gotsis showing up much better last week, I'd say the best bet is leave it alone this week and get Rubin up to speed before dropping him in a game.  Now, if we were asking him to go get drunk and slap around his girlfriend then expect special treatment, that's a different thing entirely.  :-D

Cowboys are gonna be a test, but I'd argue the Broncos D is on a different level than the N.Y. defense, and the same goes for the offense.  The Broncos should be able to handle this without rushing Rubin in.
