1stand10 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) If anyone cares Broncos signed DE Simeon Rice to a one-year, $3 million contract. Rice can earn another $1 million if he reaches performance-based escalators. At this point in his career, the 33-year-old Rice might be best suited as a situational pass rusher, but the Broncos likely told him he'll get a chance to start. That would bump Elvis Dumervil down the depth chart. Edited September 4, 2007 by 1stand10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 not a bad signing here...if he is a pass rusher and plays here and there he can still be a force I think... if he stays healthy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 It would be a mistake to push Dumerville out of the starting slot IMO. He has been very good when he plays. You can't tell me that Rice is better against the run than Dumerville either. I'm not sure about this, but I think Dumerville may actually weigh more than Rice.

Simeon Rice: 6'5" 268 Elvis Dumervil 5'11" 250 It's probably less the weight than the wingspan and ability to flatten small RBs. I love Dumervil as a pass rusher, and I think he'll get a bunch of sacks this year in situational downs, but I'd bet that Rice is the starter.

Turf Smurf Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I love Dumervil as a pass rusher as well, but, Rice? If we continue to have no pass rush, I mean come on. If he's 43 and helps us get that done.....you'll are morons for not saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turf Smurf Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Now if we just had the sense and the money to entice Strahan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
