Adam Prentice

but you got to carry them on your roster active roster for a few weeks.

Well, then that's where the Broncos are going to have to make some tough decisions because we've seen Adam Prentice on and off the practice squad.

We've seen the Jordan Humphrey on and off the practice squad.

So the team is going to have to make a lot of decisions, but this is what happens when you start to sustain injuries.

And I don't know, Sarah, if they need to change up the rotation like they did a little bit against San Francisco.

I thought R.J. Harvey, you know, did really well, especially as a pass catcher out of the backfield, but maybe you feed R.J. a little bit more, right? Maybe you have Adam Prentice lead up a little bit more.

I don't know.

If I'm looking at the, uh, the overall offensive snap counts here from Sunday, I'm trying to find Adam Prentice.

He only played seven snaps on offense this past Sunday.

So maybe get Adam Prentice the ball a little bit more and have him lead through the A and the B gaps and have a running back follow, right? You got a guy in Quinn Miner that I would feel comfortable...

You could have Luke Wattenberg blocking whoever's in front of him.

But have Adam Prentice lead up through the A gap.

He's the only player out, so we're going to get Marvin Mims back.

They had to sign Adam Prentice to the active roster.

They used his three call-ups, so he is on the active roster.

And they cut little Jordan Humphrey and signed him back to the practice squad.

And then also not just to pose the threat, but like hand the ball off from under center, use your fullback who you just today promoted to the 53 man roster in case you guys missed it.

They released Lil Jordan Humphrey to make room for Adam Prentice today, so for what it's worth.

He wasn't waived because he's a vested veteran, so he doesn't have to hit the wire.

He's free to just hang around, re-sign to the squad, or still just hang around even without re-signing to the practice squad.

Let me get to some other news and notes for this game and this week.

The Broncos released receiver Lil Jordan Humphrey and signed Adam Prentice to the 53-man roster.

How about this one? Denver will apply to host the Super Bowl in 2033, according to Mayor Mike Johnson.

That's courtesy of our friend Benjamin Albright.

All right.

Billy, the kid jumping in again, Zach, to Phil's point, talking about the run game struggles, where is the fullback dive? So Adam Prentice, Zach, he's been elevated all three games.

They've officially maxed out his elevations.

They've yet to sign him officially to the active roster, but I also haven't seen anything, including on the wire, of him being waived.

That's a separate point, though.

Why isn't he being used to touch the ball like he was so much, at least in the preseason?

Because that might have been a Sean Payton thing or the fact, Chad, if you can't get push for J.K. Dobbins or R.J. Harvey, Jonah Coleman, how are you going to get push for a big fullback like Adam Prentice? And I understand it's for short yardage, third and one, fourth and inches, goal line, stuff like that.

But I don't know.

But I do think...

Davis Webb is it's a real rollercoaster column like there was some extremely peculiar play calls there was a third and one I think where we emptied the backfield and I know the run game hadn't been great but like you gotta run the ball in third and one because at that stage even the momentum was beginning to slip away from us in the first half that stuff just beggars belief And again, where's Adam Prentice? Third and one.

Hand the ball, he'd fall over and get the first down.

So look, we need, we need better from most, most components of the team.

And they did that in the second half.

We saw more under center looks with Heavier personnel sets, J.K. Dobbins running the ball out of the backfield, having Adam Prentice be a fullback back there, having Nate Adkins be back there to help jumpstart the run game.

And when you do that, that settles things down.

There was a night and day difference between how Bo looked in the first half compared to the second half.

The only thing that I would like to see like moving forward with the offense in those situations is just run the ball a little bit more in the red zone.

I think that Denver got relatively lucky because what they should have done, and I think a couple of people have mentioned this in the chat, is run the ball to burn those timeouts.

So no matter what happens, whether it's a field goal or a touchdown at the end of the game, like the Rams, run the ball the first two times so they don't have any timeouts and okay they ran one time burn one but then the next one they pass the ball and it's just like okay so at worst they're gonna get the ball with like 45 seconds left like that you just don't ever want to leave time on the clock for any quarterback especially a future hall of famer like matthew stafford so i guess moving forward with with the broncos and third and short and we saw it other times in other places that feel just wrong the bleeping football like you've got adam prentice i mean he did awesome in the preseason like in the short short yardage situations like the situational awareness from weber you know at the the coaching staff at times on third and shorts like stop operating on a shotgun and just hand the ball off like that is why you have full backs and running backs and have one of the highest paid lines in the national football league i love bonus but you should trust those guys to be able to get you a bleeping especially on

like second and i
