Sayre BedingerSep 29, 2008

Welcome to week two of my new segment "Getting to Know..."

This week, we are going to take a look at one of the NFL's most dominant offensive lines:  The Denver Broncos.

#78 Ryan Clady, LT, Rookie

Clady has been a Pro-Bowl left tackle this season so far.  The 12th pick in this past years NFL draft has added size(6'6", 325 lbs.) and athleticism to an offensive line that has a storied history.  Clady allowed a sack against Kansas City, his only on the season.

#50 Ben Hamilton, LG, 10th season

Hamilton has been injury prone his last two seasons, but when healthy, he is one of the AFC's best.  He has helped keep (3rd year quarterback Jay) Cutler's blind side free of defenders, allowing no sacks on the season.

#62 Casey Wiegmann, C, 13th season

Wiegmann has quietly been one of the best centers of the last decade, which is not easy to say as a Broncos fan.  Dating back to his days with the Kansas City Chiefs, Wiegmann has played every possible snap on offense since the 2001 season.

#73 Chris Kuper, RG, 3rd season

Chris Kuper stepped into a starting role last season for the injured and aforementioned Ben Hamilton.  Kuper is an underrated player who also has allowed no sacks this season.  His production has been overshadowed by the play of his fellow classmates from the 2006 Draft.

#74 Ryan Harris, RT, 2nd season

Many of you may remember Harris from his college days with Brady Quinn, possibly even his high school days in which his recruiting process/training was documented by MTV's True Life:  I want a perfect body.  Harris has allowed only one sack in his first year as a starter.

Along with only allowing two sacks this season, the Denver Broncos also have scored more points on offense than any other team in the NFL with 127 total offensive points.  The offensive line has paved the way for the offense to produce the most yardage in the NFL totaling 1,742 yards after only four games. 

In the off-season, Head Coach Mike Shanahan was much maligned for his inability to provide his offensive weapons with an adequate offensive line.  Who's laughing now? 

Denver's line will get a good test from one of the most consistent defenses in the NFL:  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week five.
