I see it as taking a toll on them..and exposed how poor a QB Jake Plummer is..
without their dependable running game...they can't compete as they did.

ummm.....shouldn't the exposure of something illegal hurt the team that was doing it?
haha
I don't know if it has.....there are a lot of factors....I don't get to watch them enough to see the o-line at work
so I wouldn't really feel right saying yes or no

You are mistaken, cut blocks are legal within the 'box' of the line of scrimmage. The only exception to that is if the defensive player is engaged with another OL and another OL cuts him. Almost every team in the league does cut blocking. But to answer your question, no, Ds adjust, that is the nature of the NFL. Even with the Ds adjustments the last 5 years Denver has still ranked in the top 10 in the league in rushing offense (2002-#5, 2003-#2, 2004-#4, 2005-#2, and 2006-#8). I think you'll see a resurgence in the Denver run game this year with Travis Henry as the RB. He is more the type of RB needed, and the past few years Denver hasn't had that kind of runner.

I truely do think so, and I truely beileve that they are dirty players, and its a shame that their fans cant admit it. I dont know how many times ive watched a game with the Broncos and seen that S*** on Instant Replay. More and more D-Lineman are hurt against them and its beacuse of there CUT-Blocking, not ZONE -Blocking scheme. One example is last years game with the Seattle Seahawks vs. Broncos, Tom Nalen did a Belly Flop cut block and Rocky Bernard missed a quarter or more with a injured knee.
All you Broncos fans can defend, but in the NFL today, they are veiwed as cut blockers.

What is disturbing is the popularity of "zone blocking schemes".
With Cutler no longer a rookie the Broncos might be back.
(No, as a Patriot fan that worries me and I do not want to say it.)

Yes and I'm glad, F'n dirty *** lineman!!!!! That crap ends D lineman's careers and has no place in the NFL, block like you should, not with dirty tactics. I'm happy the NFL has taken notice of this stuff. I can't wait until you see them go straight downhill.....
