Ward has missed two games due to injury and has yet to start a game this season. O int, O FF, 0 sacks. 20 tackles. Elway listens to Greek. Greek knows when someone's body is on the decline. 

The GMs job is to mess with chemistry....and assemble the roster based on a myriad of factors. Simmons pick sealed the Raiders game. There have been a lot of mistakes this year -- but Justin Simmons has graded out well on PFF. If anything, having TJ in there, chemistry or not, we'd have been burned by more TE big plays. As he gave up a ton of them last season when he was healthier.

As far as running Wade Phillps out of town. Please. Notice the emotion in that silly phrase. Did he use a pitch fork? His contract was up. He asked for more money. Elway chose to go with a younger option. Oddly, Woods seems to have fixed the run D. And if the offense was doing anything at all, this D would be much better than last season.
