myhousekey Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 All I've seen so far: Published Mon Oct 27 6:25:33 p.m. CT 2008(KFFL) Denver Broncos TE Tony Scheffler (groin) did some running Monday, Oct. 27, and he appears to be improving. He will have to make some progress to play Week 9. Published Mon Oct 27 10:17:53 a.m. CT 2008 (KFFL) Lindsay H. Jones, of The Denver Post, reports TE Tony Scheffler (groin) is expected to return to practice this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Without any set backs, he'll be on the field on Sunday. No link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 He's the, basically, #2 receiving option on a completely healthy Bronco team. If he's available, you pick him up NOW. Wait at own risk. I would have agreed to this a few weeks ago, but the emergence of Eddie Royal might have knocked Scheffler down a peg in the pecking order. When healthy, he is, without a doubt, one of the top red zone target TE's in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 % of plays for the following: Marshall -- 18.5 Royal -- 13 (1 game missed) Scheffler -- 5.25 (2 games missed) Not sure how you can argue against Royal emerging as the #2 option in Denver. I guess its just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 % of plays for the following: Marshall -- 18.94 Royal -- 13 (1 game missed) Scheffler -- 5.25 (2 games missed) Not sure how you can argue against Royal emerging as the #2 option in Denver. I guess its just me. But as I stated above, its clear that Scheffler is more of a red zone threat than Royal: # of red zone plays Marshall: 10 (13.89%) Royal: 5 (6.94%) Scheffler: (8.33%) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tosberg34 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 There's no stats kept for when a team is under pressure, so I can't use numbers. But this team is all out of whack and when things aren't going well, Jay crawls into his turtle shell and only targets those he's comfortable with. And I can definitely see my Broncos going into panic mode when Miami -- who always plays them well -- gets a lead. I can see Denver going 3-3 over the next six games and in those three loses, FF points will be really limited. Okay - enough of the debate on who get's what percentage and answer the question this post was created foR: What's Scheffler's status? Inquiring minds would like to know.

tazinib1 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Here is a transcript of Jay Cutlers weekly Wednesday press conference: On the finger he injured during the New England game"My finger is good. I got lucky, but it feels pretty good though." On having key members of the offense back on the field after injuries "We are getting those guys back (Eddie Royal and Brandon Stokley) and maybe getting Tony Scheffler back. It helps our offense with what we are trying to do, and it doesn't limit us." On if his finger is affecting his throws "Right now, no. I am good." On the bye week "I have been gone. We all just kind of got back into town. It was good to get a break and get refreshed a little bit. We will get back to work now." On the hit he took from Patriots DT Vince Wilfork "I think it was on the second fumble. I got rolled up by (Rodney) Harrison and then on my way back up, I think he gave me a forearm to the head. I was a little dizzy afterwards. I guess they called it in on him. I didn't even really watch the hit on film." On Dolphins LB Joey Porter being a threat "Absolutely. Their whole defense is getting pressure and causing a lot of fumbles, which we have been prone to the last three or four games. You have to keep your eye on that guy. He is kind of taking (Shawne) Merriman's place from last year being a guy in a 3-4 system that gets a lot of pressure off of the edge." On if he has noticed defenses playing Brandon Marshall differently the past few games "Yeah. He is getting a lot of double coverage. We kind of struggled running the ball a little bit. If they want to play (Cover) 2 and roll over top of Brandon, we are going to have to take advantage of that and run the ball. Brandon is still going to get his catches and his yards. We just have to find ways to get him the ball." On Ryan Torain returning from injury "He adds a little juice to the backfield. Those guys get rammed down, and they take a lot of punishment. We ask them to do a lot so to get fresh legs back there is definitely going to help. I am excited for him, and I think he is going to help us out a lot." On Clady's performance thus far "He is there every day. You couldn’t ask much more out of a rookie, especially playing left tackle right now. We don’t have to worry about him because he locks down the left side and does a great job." Sorry thats all I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 GTD? Start him if you have no other choice. Wait a week otherwise. Any practice reports? I liked matters better last year when Mason was blogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTed46 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 If he doesnt play I am going to get boned.... I dont have roster space to pick someone else up and Shockey is my other TE. What a disaster duo to have as of late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Further updates from Wednesday and Thursday Published Thu Oct 30 11:58:00 a.m. CT 2008(Rotoworld) Despite practicing only on a limited basis Wednesday, Tony Scheffler says his previously strained groin feels "a lot better." Analysis: Scheffler is hopeful of playing in Week 9 against Miami, but may need to practice fully by the end of the week to avoid another "questionable" listing. Published Wed Oct 29 7:05:00 p.m. CT 2008 (Rotoworld) Tony Scheffler (groin) was limited in Broncos practice Wednesday. Analysis: This isn't an especially encouraging sign, considering Scheffler is coming off a bye week and two missed games. His status for Week 9 is unclear.

What a disaster duo to have as of late Exactly same situation here. I was hoping to get Scheff back for THIS week, as Shockey disappointed last week. I might have to drop one as I'm 3-5 and desperately needing a win this week. But, I'm afraid it looks like a GTD to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
