A New Transition

June 30th, 2009 - 10:06am by Zach Eisendrath

Through the better part of three decades as a collegiate head coach, Steve Spurrier has instructed his share of talented wide receivers.

From his 12-year tenure at Florida and on through his current post at South Carolina, Spurrier has worked with a number of NFL-caliber wide outs in the Southeastern Conference — thirteen-year NFL veteran Ike Hilliard, Minnesota Vikings 2007 draft pick Sidney Rice and first-year Bronco Jabar Gaffney are a few names that come to mind.

Yet, Spurrier has labeled a different individual as the “best wide receiver I’ve ever coached.” The ol’ ball coach has given that distinct honor to Broncos fifth round draft pick Kenny McKinley.

“I really appreciate Coach Spurrier and look up to him. Those comments coming from him, with all the people that he has coached, is a big statement,” McKinnely said at his post-draft press conference. “When I heard that he said that it really got to me because he got me to where I am today coming from playing QB in high school to being a pretty good receiver playing in the NFL for the Denver Broncos.”

Brees: Good Situation for Orton

June 25th, 2009 - 3:06pm by Gray Caldwell

It’s not letting me embed this one in the site, but here’s a link to a video of Drew Brees talking about fellow former Purdue quarterback Kyle Orton.

Brees compares his situation — starting up again in New Orleans with a first-year head coach in 2006 — to Orton’s in Denver with Head Coach Josh McDaniels.

Manager of Media Information Patrick Smyth posted the link on his Twitter page, so if you haven’t seen it, check it out. For that matter, check out Vice President of Public Relations Jim Saccomano’s Twitter page, Public Relations Graduate Assistant Erich Schubert’s Twitter page, my Twitter page and the official Denver Broncos Twitter page.

Just a quick plug, but we do update them with Broncos news daily.

Broncos Awarded Jones

June 24th, 2009 - 5:55pm by Zach Eisendrath

The Broncos were awarded wide receiver C.J. Jones off waivers from Kansas City, the team announced on Wednesday.

Jones is a third-year wideout who has spent time on the active roster with Cleveland in 2003 and the practice squad with the Browns in 2003-04. The move reunites the 5-11, 195-pound receiver with Head Coach Josh McDaniels, as Jones spent time on New England’s active roster in 2008 and spent the entire 2007 season on the Patriot’s practice squad.

Lloyd Excited to Play in Denver

June 18th, 2009 - 2:17pm by Gray Caldwell

On Monday, the Broncos signed Brandon Lloyd. By Wednesday, the seventh-year pro was already jumping head-first into voluntary workouts.

He, along with about 20 teammates, went up to Red Rocks to work on conditioning — a story we’ll have more on in the next few days.

“I just kind of wanted to get adjusted to the altitude, so the best way to do that is kind of jump right in the fire,” Lloyd said with a laugh.

So while he’s already bonding with his teammates through hard work, he is already familiar with one of the quarterbacks who will be throwing him the ball when training camp rolls around.

Finishing Strong

June 18th, 2009 - 8:56am by Elvis Dumervil

So OTAs are finished, and we’ve got a little more than a week left to finish out offseason conditioning. We can go on vacation now that camps are finished, but I’m still around because at this point I plan on getting 100 percent participation this offseason. I might just do it for my own well-being. I don’t get no bonuses for it, I’m just doing it because this is what I do.

The workouts are the same as when we started before OTAs — lots of conditioning. We had a couple weeks of just practicing, kind of shying away from the weight room a little, but now you kind of come back and finish strong the last couple weeks. So you better maximize your strength, take a little break and then get ready for training camp.

Camp Comes to a Close

June 14th, 2009 - 3:55pm by Zach Eisendrath

The Broncos concluded their final minicamp on Sunday, and the team will now have over a month off before training camp begins at Dove Valley in late July.

Before departing, the club got in some serious work on Sunday. For the majority of practice, the players worked on game-simulating situations. Nearly every scenario was covered during 11-on-11s, as the team marched up and down the field working on different packages. On one play, the offense was backed up to its own goal line. A few plays later, they were working in the red zone.

McDaniels believes the players now understand what the coaching staff expects from them on a daily basis and what the systems are all about. Accordingly, he was pleased with what the team accomplished on the final day of camp.
