Khalil Mack’s startling trade from the Oakland
Raiders to the Chicago Bears.“I mean
Noah Fant Jersey 2019 , honestly, I was shocked,” Miller said. “I always felt like Khalil and Aaron Donald were untradeable guys. J.J. Watt, I thought guys like
that were untradeable. Then they traded him. A guy like Khalil, he only comes
around once every lifetime. You want to keep guys like that.”The Broncos’ star
linebacker said it’s “going to be a little weird” Sunday not seeing his friend,
whom he’s trained with the last two summers, when the Raiders (0-1) visit Denver
(1-0), where Mack once collected five sacks in a single half.“He’s talented,”
Broncos QB Case Keenum said, “but I’m pretty sure they’re going to play 11 guys.
They’re not just going to put 10 out there without him.”Raiders new/old coach
Jon Gruden said he’s been asked aplenty about the trade that sent shockwaves
through the NFL and smiles across locker rooms across the AFC West.“And
rightfully so,” Gruden said. “He’s a great guy. He’s a great player. It’s
unfortunate we don’t have him. But we feel we did the right thing for this
football team, for the future of the Raiders and for this building process.“I
know we’ve got to prove it. But so does he.”Mack began doing just that Sunday
night at Green Bay , fresh off signing a six-year, $141 million contract, $26.5
million more than Miller got in 2016 in the shadows of his Super Bowl 50 MVP
performance.Hours after Miller wrecked Seattle’s game plan by sacking Russell
Wilson three times and snaring the ball out of power back Chris Carson’s arms
for a forced fumble and fumble recovery, Mack burst into the NFC North
conversation with a pick-6 and a strip sack of backup QB DeShone Kizer in which
he, too, snatched the ball from his opponent.Whereas Miller’s showing led to a
27-24 Denver victory, Mack’s dominant debut was rendered a footnote when Aaron
Rodgers returned from a knee injury at halftime to lead the Packers back from a
20-point deficit for a 24-23 win.One night later, the Raiders lost 33-13 to the
Rams
Cheap Noah Fant Jersey , barely touching quarterback Jared Goff just over a week after trading their star pass rusher to the Bears for a package that included
two first-round picks. Bruce Irvin had the only sack when Goff held the ball too
long.Mack is still on the Raiders’ minds.Quarterback Derek Carr said he misses
his friendship more than his play on the field.“We still text, and we still talk
all the time, but not seeing him every day is weird,” Carr said. “I think that
was the hardest part.”Other subplots as the Broncos seek their sixth straight
2-0 start:KING STINGBroncos punter Marquette King didn’t want to talk about
Gruden this week, but he made it clear he had hard feelings over his release
from the Raiders this spring.He said he never had a chance to speak with
Oakland’s coach before getting jettisoned.“I just saw him on car commercials and
stuff,” King said. “I get to see him two times a year.”And that was certainly a
factor in King’s decision to come to Denver.“I just wanted to find the best
place that I thought I would fit,” King said. “I think there is somewhat of a
revenge factor in there, too.”BRYANT BACKBroncos coach Vance Joseph said
Martavis Bryant’s re-signing with Oakland only adds to Denver’s already stiff
challenge Sunday.“Absolutely. He’s a guy that’s a vertical threat. I faced him
in Cincinnati when he was in Pittsburgh for six games. He caught a 98-yard
touchdown on my secondary, so I won’t ever forget that,” Joseph said.PRESSURE
POINTAfter trading Mack, there were questions about how the Raiders would
generate a pass rush. The results weren’t good in the opener as Oakland had one
sack and four quarterback pressures against the Rams.The Raiders had more
pressures in every game last year with Mack leading the defense.Gruden said
playing better defense on first and second down will give Bruce Irvin and Arden
Key more chances to get to the QB on third down.“You have to get them on
third-and-long when you can cut loose your blitzes and some of your great
rushers,” he said.HOUSE OF HORRORSGruden has had little success in Denver in his
career, losing all five trips to the Mile High City. Gruden lost every year with
Oakland from 1998-2001, and again with Tampa Bay in his final year as a coach
there in 2008.In all, Gruden’s teams are 1-9 against the Broncos, with the one
win coming in Oakland in 2001. The Raiders won 38-28 on Nov. 5, 2001, behind
three TD passes by Rich Gannon.He has fond memories of that lone victory over
Denver.“That was the greatest win of my career as the Raiders coach, beating the
Broncos,” Gruden said

releasedThe NFL has announced its 2019 regular season schedule. The Denver
Broncos will look to improve from their back-to-back double digit loss seasons
with a new quarterback and a new head coach. Last year, we thought having the
toughest games at home would be a good thing. It was not. This year is a bit
different with a big easier home schedule, which hopefully will lead to more
wins. Here is a breakdown of the Broncos schedule for 2019: Broncos schedule

StubHub!Opening on Monday Night Football against the Oakland Raiders should be
fun. Perhaps Joe Flacco can reproduce the same opening night magic Jay Cutler
had in 2008 on the road against the Raiders on Monday Night Football when the
Broncos walked out with a 41-14 beatdown win. New Broncos head coach Vic Fangio
will get to welcome his former team in the Chicago Bears as the two teams square
off at Broncos Stadium at Mile High in Week 2. There are two stretches on this
schedule that will be brutal. From Weeks 7-9 against the Chiefs, Colts, and
Browns and then again in early December in Weeks 13-15 against the Chargers,
Texans, and Chiefs again. If they get through one of those stretches with a .500
record, then they could pick up enough wins to compete in 2019. Finishing the
season at home against the Raiders is perfect. Oakland is expected to not be
very good, so if the Broncos can scrap together enough wins they might be
position to need a win to close out the season and make the playoffs. One could
hope, anyway. Broncos 2019 Preseason ScheduleDateOpponentInfoDateOpponentInfoFor

entered the season with the 25th ranked schedule and finished with just six
wins. With new head coach Vic Fangio and new quarterback Joe Flacco, the Broncos
will get no such break in 2019 as they will have the second toughest schedule in
the NFL. Not that the strength of schedule matters, since the Broncos had the
toughest strength of schedule heading into 2017 and won five games.
