I always read the articles in the city of the opponent for each week and I will post more as the day goes by.

The sports writters in Denver do not seem very confident to me.
42 new players on their roster sinse the beginning of the 2006 season!
25 new players this year.
1-3 in season openers sinse Shanahan became coach.
Some of the sportswritters seem to think being favored by 3 points is a bad sign.

There is some pretty good stuff in these articles if you read through them!

After reading this from the DP, I think to myself they have 25 new players?? Cutler has 5 starts?? Big question marks there:

Know this, though, about the Broncos: There are a lot of new pieces that are going to have to fit together, and fast. A glance at their list of personnel - the 53-man roster, practice squad and injured players - shows 42 new faces since the start of the 2006 season, including 25 this year

Henry got a little carried away. He said he had a goal in mind for this season, that he knew how many yards he could gain now that he would be spending time with the Ritz-Carlton of running teams.

How many, Travis? How many yards?

He gathered himself and said he would save the prediction for another day.

Henry, who will make his Broncos' debut Sunday at Buffalo, became more reticent as time passed. Early in training camp, when reminded of his proclamation, he vowed to provide his magic number after two preseason games. In the second preseason game at Dallas, Henry gave the Broncos a scare when he crumpled with a twisted knee. Because of that injury, he remained mum on his goal and was out of action for the final two preseason games.

"If I wasn't hurt, I'd say it, but I don't want to jinx it," Henry said at the time. "But it's going to be a lot. It's going to be good, man."

This week, Henry again declined to play prognosticator.

Asked whether he could hit the 1,500-yard rushing mark for the first time in a six-year career, Henry smiled.

"That might be it," he said. "That one sounds good to me."

If that were the Buffalo media expressing the same concerns about the Bills they'd be trashed!!

Henry's problems wrapping it up aside, does anyone else think Denver is the perfect fit offensively for him?

If you ask me, Henry is close in running style to Terrell Davis and Denver seems like the perfect fit for him. He should really do well there.

Henry should have a big year, but he never really struck me as the cut-back type. I think McGahee would have been a better fit.
