A Week’s Work

December 10th, 2010 - 2:48pm by Gabe HiattOther posts by

After wading in and out of the lineup because of injuries, two Broncos could return to the defensive backfield this week.

In his Friday press conference, Interim Head Coach Eric Studesville said Andre’ Goodman and Darcel McBath had two good days of practice this week, and the team has another chance to judge the players’ health in Friday’s practice.

A Challenging Encore

December 9th, 2010 - 4:03pm by Eric DetweilerOther posts by

In Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, Champ Bailey held Dwayne Bowe — the league’s hottest receiver after scoring in seven straight games coming in — without a single catch. Defensive Coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale called it “one of the best performances I’ve ever seen.”

Bailey’s reward for the effort? The nine-time Pro Bowler gets a Week 14 matchup with Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald — a four-time Pro Bowler who is one catch away from being the team’s all-time receptions leader.

“It is more of a challenge this week,” Bailey said. “He is more of a polished receiver. He is more experienced. So, my hands will be a little full this week.”

Hey Broncos Country!

My name is Heather and this is my first season as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. I am a native to Denver and have been a Broncos fan since birth! As a loyal Broncos fan, I can say that this isn’t exactly the football season I was hoping for. However, I have truly had the most memorable time as a rookie cheerleader, and I am sad that the season is about to come to an end.

New Job, Same Attitude

December 8th, 2010 - 4:09pm by Gabe HiattOther posts by

While some players were just getting to know Interim Head Coach Eric Studesville Wednesday morning, the running backs already knew what they would see.

After working with the coach all year, Correll Buckhalter said he observed no differences in the way Studesville addressed the team as the head coach and how he used to treat his position players.

“He was the same that he’s always been in the running backs room,” Buckhalter said. “He talked about how all he knew how to do was work. He wants everybody to come to work happy and just feel like you want to come here.”

All In Due Time

The coaching change has been made. Everyone can now exhale. The season, however, rolls on. And there is a good amount of football left.

Among the drama surrounding the Broncos’ now-former head coach, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that there is still a quarter of the season left to play. That’s a lot of football. While the Broncos are mathematically out of the playoff chase, they still have an opportunity to show that they are professionals.

Who’s Your Next Head Coach?

December 7th, 2010 - 7:54pm by mark_cooperOther posts by

I flew out out yesterday late in the afternoon for a business meeting at K.C. and heard about the firing while driving to a dinner meeting. Then, from 8 a.m. until I got on a plane this afternoon at 4:40 p.m. K.C. time, running through the airport at the speed of turtle, I didn’t have a minute to blog or even see news updates.

I’ll be watching the news tonight like everyone else and will join in the speculation. I posted on Sunday’s blog to move here and had to laugh as I was accused of not (coming clean) all year on Coach McDaniels, and it was pretty funny in its context because you guys know I’m a homer, win-(L)word or Draw. I always have a glass half full….even if it’s going to take time.

Robinson, Coats Added

The Broncos on Tuesday filled the roster spots vacated by placing Joe Mays and Dan Gronkowski on injured reserve.

The club added free agent tight end Daniel Coats and activated linebacker Lee Robinson from the practice squad.

Robinson spent the last eight weeks of the season on the team’s practice squad. The Alcorn State product saw time on the practice squads of Arizona and Tampa Bay in 2009.

Coats is a fourth-year player who totaled 30 receptions for 291 yards in 53 career games with the Cincinnati Bengals.
