After scarfing down some halftime victuals consisting of tortilla chips dipped in fresh, cilantro-laden salsa, shredded white-meat chicken, lukewarm diet Coke watered down by long-since-melted ice and a pair of potato chips, these mid-game notes:
… Is it possible for all three of this year’s heralded first-round rookie quarterbacks to be successful? Jay Cutler, Vince Young and Matt Leinart have each enjoyed moments where they looked extraordinarily impressive. In watching all three in person the past 12 days, Young is definitely the most raw, but is blessed with a howitzer and — as he showed by absorbing several hits in Denver — is just as tough as his arm is strong. It’s far too early to pass judgment on all of them, but so far, so good …
… Denver’s offense actually outgained Arizona’s before intermission, 231 yards to 228 …
… Mike Bell led the Broncos at halftime with 27 yards on six carries for a solid 4.5-yard average. In second place? Cutler, with eight yards on a third-down scramble during the game’s first possession …
… Rod Smith on David Kircus’s path to the Broncos: “Not all of us make sandwiches. Every single one of us has our own way, but we made it to the NFL.”
As for the opening paragraph, that one’s for you, Tom McEwen, one of the West Central Florida sportswriters whose words I inhaled many years ago.
Arizona’s offense has picked up where it left off in its punt-free first half, gashing the third-quarter game clock by draining more than half of the 15 minutes on their march downfield. It would result in no more than three points, though, as Jeff Shoate and Hamza Abdullah helped prevent a third-and-10 Leinart pass from finding its end-zone target. Neil Rackers kicked a 33-yard field goal one play later, but the Broncos offense will take the field only one score behind — 23-15.
