Broncos Mailbag: How concerned should Denver be about Vance Joseph’s defense?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:51:00 GMT

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.Hi Parker, I have three observations and three questions.1. Denver is not running the ball enough with Javonte Williams and Perine, only 34 carries through 2 games. I realize they want to bring Javonte along slowly but shouldn’t they lean more on Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin?2. The Defense has looked terrible and I know it’s killing Broncos fans that they’re being led by Vance Joseph. Is Joseph in over his head and being exposed? Or is he doing the best he can under the circumstances?3. The lone bright spot was Marvin Mims! Will his emergence along with Jerry Jeudy being back open things up for the offense?Thanks.— Brandon Brown, Rogers, Minn.Hey Brandon, thanks for getting us going this week and, yeah, you covered some ground.Let’s do this quick-hitter style.1. I have to say I am surprised at the rate at which the Broncos are...

Opinion: The real reason Hunter Biden is in trouble with the law

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:51:00 GMT

Hunter Biden was charged Thursday with three felonies related to lying on a 2018 application to buy a gun. But it’s hard not to conclude that his true offense is being the son of a president whom Republicans are hell-bent on vilifying and defeating.The indictment largely relies on Biden’s false claim that he was not using illegal drugs when he applied to purchase the firearm. In fact, he was then in the depths of the cocaine addiction that drove a series of travails that Republicans continue to weaponize against his father.The Justice Department had previously negotiated a plea agreement with Biden that included a gun charge following some five years of investigation by David Weiss, Trump’s U.S. attorney for Delaware, whom President Joe Biden allowed to remain in office in a departure from standard procedure. Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax offenses and enter a pretrial diversion under which the felony gun charge would be dropped if he stays on the straigh...
