Second half of Pro Bowl

February 8th, 2009 - 5:25pm by dave_gaylinnOther posts by

The NFC wins 30-21…

After a missed touchdown pass to Marshall, Cutler hands to Baltimore Le’Ron McClain to put the AFC ahead, 21-17…

Snapping to Cutler is Denver’s own Casey Wiegmann…

Cutler’s first pass is completed to New England’s Wes Welker for three yards…

And to engineer the AFC’s first drive of the fourth quarter is Denver’s own Jay Cutler…

Cutler’s first in-game snap in Hawaii will have to wait as Collins jogs out to the huddle to start the AFC huddle…

Looks a lot like Cutler will be at the helm of the AFC’s offense for its next possession as he hurriedly found open space on the bench and began tossing with Houston tight end Owen Daniels…

Here’s something you won’t see in Denver, Marshall is covering a punt…

So, as we prepare for the kick to start the second half, wide receiver Brandon Marshall has three catches for 35 yards and a near touchdown. Quarterback Jay Cutler and center Casey Wiegmann haven’t entered the game yet, but are expected to see time toward the end of the third quarter.

So close… Manning’s pass tips off Marshall’s fingertips late for what would have been a touchdown in the second quarter…

I will hold off on the play-by-play. I’ll highlight Broncos moments through the game…

7-0 as New England’s Gostkowski hits the extra point…

6-0 AFC as Manning connects with Kansas City tight end Tony Gonzalez…

From this opening drive, it is evident that Marshall figures heavily into the game plan today as four of Mannings first few passes are directed to Denver’s standout pass catcher…

And Manning did indeed find Marshall for a 20-yard gain. I promise I posted that before the play started and Marshall did not clue me into the script…

Here comes Brandon Marshall as the AFC takes possession deep in its own territory. Let’s see if Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning can find Marshall to change field position…

We’re underway with a handoff to Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson. Wasn’t David Archuleta’s rendition of the National Anthem great?…

As the teams go through their pregame, warm up paces, I’ll just check in to say the three Bronco entries are thrilled to be here. I talked to all of them and the smile from each was visible from 30 feet away, despite their wearing helmets.

I am not planning to do a running play-by-play as you may be accustomed to during Broncos games, but I will check in from time to time with updates.

Picture day in Hawaii

Friday was a team picture day for both the AFC and NFC squads. After that was a light walk-through for each team. Brandon and his fiancee took a helicopter tour around the island. I’ve been itching to get in the water for a long time, so I passed and raced down the 16 floors and jumped into the crisp, clear ocean.

The report from the helicopter ride was very positive. There were some scary moments, including one that Brandon described as “we don’t have time to turn, just throw this thing in reverse and let’s get out of here!” They flew right next to a water fall, over Diamond Head crater among other places on the island.

A quick update from Hawaii

Well, it sure has been an interesting start to Pro Bowl weekend for me.

First, please allow me to introduce myself. In his blog, Jim Saccomano, has often mentioned the behind-the-scenes staff the Broncos have. My name is Dave, and I am a part of that behind-the-scenes staff, Saccomano’s media relations staff to be specific. Since the start of the 2008 season, I have handled Brandon Marshall’s media requests. In that role, I have forged a strong relationship with the starting wide receiver at this weekend’s Pro Bowl. I was fortunate enough that Brandon felt my performance worthy of an invitation to join him in Hawaii.
