@MikeKlis: The Broncos did receive permission from Vance Joseph's former Miami Dolphins to interview Jeremiah Washburn for O-line position. #9sports

Good lord! The standard of oline staff around the league must be crap nowadays. The only hire I didnt like by Gase was on Oline and despite another awful year from that unit one of the staff is getting poached?
 
If Adam Gase is willing to give them permission to poach that guy, that's all I need to know.

What is it with some of you? The line played damn well - didnt we make the playoffs?? Some of you on here talking trash about our coaches is laughable. We go from a 6-10 season to a 10-6 season - I think our coaches did a damn good job on a crappy roster...

No the line did not play well. They played marginally less awful than the previous year that does mean it was good.

It is both bad and very expensive.
 
I dont know what games you were watching. The games I watched they played well for the most part. We gave up less sacks than previous years and I dont know where to find this information but I bet the number of QB hurries and hits were down significantly, Ajayi ran for about 1300 and we made the playoffs...Now I am of the thoughts that no one is successful in any given season unless they win the SB but to say that this line preformed poorly is ludicrous.

Again. Going from very very very bad to very bad does not make them good.

Knowing Gase/Joseph's relationship, they probably have an agreement on which coaches VJ can go after and which are "untouchable".
 
After week 5 we gave up 13 sacks through 11 games, and out RB had 1100 yards in 11 games, so by no means was our o-line horrible. We gave up the 10th fewest sacks in the NFL this season. That is one hell of a jump from the most sacked qb in the NFL over the past 4 years. 15 fewer sacks than last year, but more impressively we lost half the yardage, 216 compared to 420 yards lost. All those improvements when multiple times we were missing up to 3. Issuing starters, and had two first year guards, and an unstaffed rookie playing center. If that is horrible sign me up for horrible every year.

Was it all perfect? No. Our run blocking lacked movement most of the year. Bushrod and Tunsil played well protecting the qb, but struggled getting to the 2nd level in run blocking. Bushrod was the worst starting guard in the NFL in run blocking according to PFF, and most likely will be gone. Rome wasn't built in a day, and I think Washburn made great progress.
 
Oline play has been horrible league wide...

That's true and it's not just coaching. The college ranks haven't been producing a lot of good lineman and the lack of hitting in training camp makes them hard to develop in the NFL.
 
Too bad they didn't yank Foerster off the staff. That would have been a stroke of luck.
