DISQUS

Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago

As a quick addition to your post on leadership this year, both the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News ran stories today about another offensive captain, Rod Smith.

According to both stories Rod seems to have made some major strides this last week. He's running (although not at full speed) and seems to have much less of a limp. He's even running a few routes.

In my opinion Rod's quotes seem to run both directions. In one breath he's saying he could be ready to practice with the team next week, and then the next sentence he's disclaiming that by saying it might be 'much longer.'

I think Shanahan has a better handle on the situation and has stated he believes Smith will be ready to make this first gameday appearance in the 6th to 8th week of the regular season.

Either way, the news is much better today than it was even two weeks ago. Rod understands that he might only be the third WR, but he fully expects to get on the field this year. And that can only help our team in the leadership area!

You mean Jake led by flipping off fans? Or how he led by yelling at the coach when he threw yet another interception?
Give me a break, some of your points are valid, some of them are just inane, and the idea that a vacuum of leadership is present because Jake is gone is one of them.
