Spring football gets OBNUG in the mood to speculate, so over the next few weeks, we will be making blind guesses as to who will be starting for the Broncos in the fall. We’ll do it position-by-position. Today: Linebackers.
Linebackers
Ideal candidate: Bobby Boucher
Worst candidate: Gallant from Highlights
Actual candidates: Kyle Gingg, Derrell Acrey, Dallas Dobbs, David Shields, Tim Brady, Ellis Powers, Aaron Tevis, Tommy Smith, Byron Hout, Daron Mackey, Hunter White, Dan Paul
OBNUG's pick: Gingg, Mackey, Dobbs. A position of weakness last year should be a strength for the Broncos in 2008. I mean look at that list! The Broncos could start 11 linebackers if they wanted! We think that might be imprudent, so we'll go with Gingg, Mackey, and Dobbs in the meantime, although we expect many others to contribute.

After nearly burning his redshirt in 2006...I am surprised that Derrell Acrey hasn't made his presence known by now. He played sparingly last year...hopefully he can step up and play this year. I agree with Dobbs—he was solid last year and I think that Gingg has been fairly reliable. I hope that Acrey can get some valuable time this year and when the Hout era begins in '09 we have a really good, big corps.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more Acrey, too. I think he has the ability to be a difference-maker, but he definitely needs to live up to the hype.
