Keith Brooking lands with Broncos

[JustDezIt]

The Denver Broncos’ interest in aging players hasn’t been confined to the offensive side of the ball.

Only two days after adding soon-to-be-30-year-old safety Jim Leonhard, the Broncos have acquired 36-year-old linebacker Keith Brooking, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Hopefully its just insurance and he wont be starting. Brooking has no gas left in the tank.

 

[FiveRings]

Keith should have just called it quits when the Falcons gave up on him

 

[MapleLeaf]

...I was hoping he would join the Cowboys coaching staff.

 

[Wolfpack]

Guy is a football player...good luck to him.

 

[wittenacious]

Glad Brooking caught on with a team this year. I understand and agree with why it wasn't the Dallas Cowboys.

Best of luck to him.

 

[Don Corleone]

Just for pre game speeches! :laugh2:

 

[jobberone]

Great guy! I wish him the best.

Interesting I read on Scout.com that Brooking signed with the Denver Broncos

Who is older Peyton Manning or Keith Brooking? :laugh2:

Don't they run a 4-3?

I'd love to see training camp footage of Brooking attempting to cover the ground necessary to be a viable 4-3 LB. I like Brooking but I just do not see that happening.

Maybe if he were a sam, but I think he's played MLB his entire career. Maybe he won't have to take on as many blocks, but yeah, I see opponents targeting that deep seam/

 

[jobberone]

I was thinking they ran a hybrid D. Is that correct?

 

[StarBoyz83]

Good I like brooking. Wanted to keep him but I can see were going younger so that's ok.

 

[casmith07]

Happy for Brooking but still wish he retired and stayed on to help coach up the young guys.

Based on what? Why does this good old boy merit an automatic coaching job over many others many times more skilled?

I guess some feel entitled.
