[Goober]

Brandstater was a 6th round pick out of Fresno State. He started the Bronco's week four preseason game against the Cardinals, he completed 16 of 30 passes for 187 yards.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -The Denver Broncos got a head start on cuts, releasing nine players, including quarterback Ingle Martin.

The team also placed guard Matt McChesney on the reserve/injured list with a sprained ankle on Friday.

There are no surprises in the other players released: DLs Matthias Askew and Carlton Powell; OL Kory Lichtensteiger and Clint Oldenberg; CB Rashod Moulton; RB Marcus Thomas; WR Nate Swift and LB Lee Robinson.

Martin is a free agent who signed after No. 2 quarterback Chris Simms sprained an ankle two weeks ago. Starter Kyle Orton has an injured finger, and neither can play in the opener at Cincinnati next week. Rookie Tom Brandstater is expected to start.

The Broncos must get down to 53 players Saturday.

I'll lol if Brandstater shreds the Bengals and gets the starts after that too. I'd love to see that.

Should be interesting to see how he does.

I know Miami was interested in him before the draft.

[Herm]

Luckily you guys are playing Cinci, should be an easy W

Have you saw the Broncos this preseason??? My money is on the Bengal Tigers.

[Goober]

Who did we sign to back him up? I can't find anything..

No one, if he gets hurt we are royally fucked in the arse.

Did you see the game Brandstater started in?

Simms finally gets an opportunity to start a game and blows it by being injured.. Will be interesting to see how Brandstater goes. I wouldn't be looking forward to it if I were a Denver fan.

An easy win for the Broncos? No Cinci will win easily.

It will be close but here's hoping Cinci pulls it out. I see Palmer having a good year (just the 2nd of his career)

[Bear Pand]

Orton will start.
Brandstater is garbo.

Is Carson Palmer injured?

If not, Denver takes it.

Is Carson Palmer injured?

If so, Denver takes it.

Fixed it for you.

Then again, this is pretty much the same team that lost to the Ravens when Joe Flacco made his first career start, so who knows... I'm still picking the Bengals in that game though.

No. I had it right.

Carson Palmer is hot trash.
