Sosa returns for another edition of the TST mailbag as he answers questions about upcoming free agents Samson Ebukam Jersey , draft day trade possibilities, and the Rams’ new Assistant QB Coach Zac Robinson."The TST mailbag has returned for its second rendition. If you missed the first weeks article, you can find that here.Let’s jump right into it:Right out the gate we start with a great question. In the draft (in the first two rounds), any of Alabama’s Deionte Thompson, Delaware’s Nasir Adderley, or Flordia’s Chauncey Gardner-Johnson would be good options. Gardner-Johnson is most similar to Lamarcus Joyner’s skill-set, though I compare him to Joyner at his best (2017). Free agency has a ton of options too, though my list can be narrowed down to Earl Thomas from the Seattle Seahawks, Glover Quin who was recently released by the Detroit Lions, and Tre’ Boston who’s hitting the market again after a successful one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals.I like him, but I also think I’m lower on him than the general public seems to be. Ferrell wont blow you away athletically, but he’s a high character guy with a fantastic motor. Good hand usage and great run defender out of the gate. Leaves a bit to be desired as a pass rusher, but he has the tools to be able to become a very productive one if he continues to progress his hand usage and a counter or two.There should be. The main issue with a running back stealing carries from RB Todd Gurley is it doesn’t allow Gurley to be fully comfortable by receiving the entire workload, but extending his shelf-life is important. Not only that, but Malcolm Brown is actually a very solid player who was averaging 4.9 yards-per-carry prior to being injured. This is a tough one as you could sensibly go with any of the OL/CB/EDGE positions and have a good argument for each. For me, I’d probably lean edge only because they’re literally running out of bodies at the position. Dante Fowler Jr, Matt Longacre Cooper Kupp Jersey , and Dominique Easley are all unrestricted free agents, and even with all three on the roster, the Rams are lacking at the other spot as Samson Ebukam hasn’t exactly proven to be starting quality.Great question, Sly. I probably lean with Shaquil Barrett. Barrett was always the “sixth-man” off the bench for the Denver Broncos, though he was hyper-efficient in his role and snaps. Anthony Barr has more star quality, though at this point he’s a projection to the edge as he hasn’t played there since his UCLA days. My assumption is Barr will also pull a pretty penny in free agency whereas Barrett will be much more affordable.I don’t know much about the Rams’ new Assistant QB Coach Zac Robinson, but I do think it’s cool the Rams are willing to address holes on the coaching staff by unconventional methods. This is Robinson’s first NFL coaching gig, though he did have some college QB and NFL practice squad experience. The former PFF analyst has a chance to turn the tide when it comes to thinking about “internet coaches”.I think a trade back is a very likely proposition. The Rams actually have a full draft with seven selections, but they don’t have a second-round pick and their own third-round pick doesn’t come until the end of the round, meaning there is going to be a large gap between the first and second pick (#31 and #94). Also, I really think there’s going to be a ton of quality (particularly in defenders) in the second and third rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft. The Arizona Cardinals can't run the football. The Denver Broncos can't stop the run.So maybe the ground game will be the deciding factor when these two struggling teams meet on Thursday night."I'll tell you this - and I'm a firm believer in this - stopping the run and running the football allows a team to control the game depending on who is doing that the best," Broncos coach Vance Joseph said.Arizona (1-5) ranks dead last in the NFL in total offense and in rushing, averaging 64 yards per game on the ground. Denver (2-4) is last in rushing defense, allowing a whopping 161.3 yards per game."We need to do a much better job up front as far as blocking, executing our assignments," Cardinals coach Steve Wilks, then referring to running back David Johnson: "We need to move him around a little bit more. Try to find ways to get him out into space John Johnson Jersey , different things right here to try to open it up some."Denver has allowed 593 yards rushing in its last two games. Two of the opposing running backs, the New York Jets' Isaiah Crowell and the Los Angeles Rams' Todd Gurley, topped 200 yards rushing, something that's never happened against the same team in NFL history."We've had really two bad weeks, and it's really with our nickel defense," Joseph said. "We have to fix that and obviously play in more fronts and fix it that way."The Cardinals aren't good against the run, either. They rank 31st in the NFL, just ahead of Denver, giving up 151.2 yards per game. That could clear the way for the Broncos' rookie running back tandem of Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman, who have a combined four touchdowns and average 5.19 yards per carry.But Denver has relied more on the passing of Case Keenum than in the running game in recent weeks.The Cardinals will be without safety Tre Boston, who leads the team with three interceptions. He didn't practice this week with shoulder and rib injuries.The Broncos have lost four straight, the latest a close home loss to the undefeated Rams. Arizona has beaten Denver only once in the 10-game history of the series.Here are some things to consider when the Broncos face the Cardinals:BEAT-UP LINESBoth teams are beaten up on the offensive line.The Broncos lost their best lineman, left guard Ronald Leary, to a torn Achilles tendon against the Rams."You guys already know how good he is and what he brings to this team, and everyone in this locker room knows how important he is to our organization," tackle Garett Bolles said. "Having someone like that go down is a tough situation and puts us in a tight spot."Denver right tackle Jared Veldheer 鈥?a former Cardinal 鈥?will miss the game with a knee injury.Arizona left guard Mike Iupati is sidelined with a back injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss at Minnesota. Right guard Justin Pugh has his injured right hand in a cast-like wrap and plans to try to play Thursday.MIFFED MILLERVon Miller repeatedly promised that the Broncos would whoop the Cardinals. "I wouldn't say it's a must win," Miller said. "We're going to kick their (behind) Jared Goff Jersey , though. Make sure you put that up there. We're going to kick their (behind)."Miller and rookie Bradley Chubb had 4陆 sacks between them last week, but Miller insisted they hadn't unlocked some sort of pass rush puzzle."No, we just got on the board," Miller said. "And if we're playing our best, I don't think there's anybody in the league that can block me and Bradley. ... Especially not the Cardinals. They're going to get our best on Thursday. They got to come with their best."UP-TEMPOThe Cardinals' offense, under rookie quarterback Josh Rosen, showed some signs of life with an up-tempo game late against the Vikings. Expect to see more of it against Denver."It was very effective for us. It's something that we've got to definitely consider," Wilks said. "It's part of his comfort zone, based off college and the things he did back there. We've got to do everything we can right now to get this offense going in the right direction."ELWAY'S CRITICISMBroncos general manager John Elway reprised his "soft" criticism he also used last year when discussing Denver's run defense this week.Elway suggested the Broncos must realize that "we're fighting for our lives" Thursday night.Asked if he interpreted that as fighting for his job, Joseph said, "Absolutely. And that's every coach in this league every week. If you don't feel that way, you're missing something. If we were 5-1, I would feel that way. That doesn't motivate me. I'm already motivated to win games and to fix our football team."MCCOY'S HEATFor the second year in a row, Mike McCoy is feeling heat as an offensive coordinator.McCoy was fired by Joseph after 10 games with the Broncos last season. Now he's facing severe criticism as offensive coordinator of the Cardinals."We're preparing like any other week," McCoy said. "Our objective every week is to go out and win the next game that you're playing. That's our focus."AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton contributed to this report.
