Quarterbacks:
Peyton Manning (he wears #18, thus the reference to the 26th Amendment)
Ben Roethlisberger (appendicitis man)
Marc Bulger (fragile but good)
Charlie Frye
Gus Frerotte (for when Bulger becomes disabled)

Position Players:
Rudi Johnson (the #4 RB in the league; less press than LD, LT, and SA)
Cory Dillon
Clinton Portis (moderately injured at the moment)
Julius Jones
Warrick Dunn
Jeremey Shockey (a holdover from last year's team)
Tatum Bell
Chris Cooley
Matt Jones
Keyshawn "Just Give Me The Damn Football" Johnson
Todd Heap

Kickers:
Shayne Graham (another holdover)
Jay Feeley

Defense:
Denver Broncos

As I see it, only two teams had drafts as good as us. We're well-positioned to make a run for the money, at least the way things look now, at the start of the season. Roethlisberger and Portis are temporarily injured but will come back by week 2 (Portis may play this week; officially he's "day-to-day" but we're not starting him) and we've got more elite and "A" list players than our share. We're also very heavy on running backs and in most weeks we can play all RB's and no WR's or TE's.

With Shayne Graham as our primary kicker and Rudi Johnson as our featured RB, we take a piece of the action from one of our primary competitors, who drafted Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson to try and double-dip on Cincinnati's explosive offense.

My big misgiving is Julius Jones -- I've had very bad luck with Dallas Cowboys in the past and all I can do now is cross my fingers and hope that he performs well. There's also a question about whether Mike Bell or Tatum Bell will get goal-line carries in Denver, but we had to take a player of that caliber at that time and Tatum has as good a chance as anyone of getting work that will result in points.

So, the FSM's are optimistic. We'll see on Sunday!

Matt Laatsch Returns to DU as Volunteer Asst. Coach

DENVER - Former University of Denver hockey captain Matt Laatsch (Lakeville, Minn.) has joined the team as a volunteer assistant coach, announced today by two-time National Coach of the Year George Gwozdecky. Laatsch guided the Pioneers to their second consecutive NCAA National Championship in 2005 and tallied 6-24--30 during a solid four-year career. He returns to the Pioneers after a brief stint with the American Hockey League's Utah Grizzlies before retiring from professional hockey after attending the Chicago Blackhawks camp in the fall of 2005.

"I am excited to be back as a volunteer assistant coach," Laatsch said. "I have always wanted to coach and I am very grateful to Coach Gwozdecky and the University of Denver for this opportunity."

Laatsch will assist in on-ice coaching, game analysis and video breakdown for the Pioneers. He played 110 games for DU and was part of the most successful classes in DU hockey history. His senior class of 2005 posted a 112-43-14 record in 169 games, captured back-to-back NCAA National Championships in 2004 and 2005, two WCHA Final Five and two WCHA regular-season championships, and four Wells Fargo Denver Cup championships.

"Matt did a terrific job leading our 2005 team to the national championship," Gwozdecky said. "He knows what it takes to be a successful student-athlete at the highest level and he will be a major asset for our hockey program this season."
