Bronco Madness

Bronco Madness is presenting you with another examination, this time in a series. It will break down some of the position battles coming up in Training Camp which is only a week away.

For the next week I will be previewing some of the best and most exciting position battles of the season. Let’s begin with Right Tackle. Here are your two fighters:

Ryan Harris 3rd Round Pick Notre Dame 2007 Draft: Ryan Harris last year was one of our four draft picks including Jarvis Moss, Tim Crowder, and Marcus Thomas. He is a powerhouse RT straight out of my favorite college NOTRE DAME! He has never started or even played a game in his NFL career. His footwork is brilliant and I am rooting for him to earn the starting job. 

Chris Kuper 5th Round Pick North Dakota 2006 Draft: Chris Kuper was a late round pick in the 2006 draft who played well for us last year at LG. He has great footwork but small arms and was known to let up sacks. The kid has experience which has helped him earn the upper hand in this position battle. 

These are two great players who when we know the starter will give us a finished O-Line for the Pre-season. They will play opposite Ryan Clady at LT. Quite ironic that our starting Right Tackles might both have the name Ryan. 

Kuper is the favorite to win this battle because he has much more experience. On the other hand, Harris has more raw unproven talent. He is the better athlete of the two. 

Right now my heart says Ryan Harris. Notre Dame produces the best most NFL ready players in my opinion. He has the raw talent to do it as well. But my head says that Chris Kuper would be the smart way to go because of the experience he has. 

I expect Chris Kuper much to my dismay will start.
