Worst Ken Lucas Game As A Pro

This may have been mentioned, haven't read the thread yet, but the Broncos lost their starting RB...again. Peyton Hillis. So I forsee much passing from Cutler. We can put Gamble on Brandon Marshall, thankfully, and not Lucas. But we've gven up huge numbers to Rodgers and now Garcia. Sure, we won both games but we can't take this trend into the Playoffs. We game to tighten up the pass D. And Lucas...wow. Bad season, bub.

I cussed Lucas at the game last night but owe him a little bit of a apology after watching the highlights. On one play, he and Godfrey were in a combo coverage where Lucas had the short route and Godfrey should have had the deep route. Godfrey bit on the short and got burnt. The second was a simple cover two where Lucus had the short underneth zone and Godfrey had the deep zone. Godfrey bit on play action and got burnt. My frustration is now more with Godfrey than Lucas. He clearly made Lucas look bad last night.

I thought he got mugged on that PI call. Should have gone against the offense.

Yep, Bryant stiff-armed him and he got his feet tangled... that should have been a no-call or a offensive PI...

Maybe it was a make-up call for the Barber illegal contact against Smith 'cause he just touched him and although technically correct, they usually don't call that.

Lucas got burned last week at GB if I remember correctly...it just seems like the guy is starting to lose a step. I wouldn't be surprised if he is not here next year to save some cap room. He put in some good years but with a stud like Marshall waiting in the wings IDK why you would hold onto a contract like Lucas's (especially if it is backloaded). KL will probably get another small contract somewhere else as a nickel DB which is what he should be playing anyways...The only problem is that we don't have another good corner to come in and take Marshalls spot at nickel (unless CJ Wilson is that guy...) who knows

Lucas is still as solid corner and IMO he would be an above average nickel corner coming off the edge maybe on blitzes and stuff because he is still a good tackler. Marshall will get some more training camp this offseason and more offseason workouts to improve and hopefully he will be our starter opposite Gamble. He has too much big play ability not to mention insane speed to not be a starting DB next year...

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
