I’ve been waiting for a LONG time for the new Madden to come out! Do not know if you’ve seen them or not, but there are several videos out of the Broncos playing the Panthers in Madden 12 and they are amazing!!

Moreno is walking on thin ice, as he was not drafted by the triumvirate, with the excception of X man. It’s definitely a make or break year, but we know what we’ve seen, and it just isn’t there as an everydown back. Moreno’s only hope is to make it as a 3rd down specialist, as was previously noted. Wow- even McD realized he made a mistake…lol.

Woody’s now confirmed what we felt all along with those first three picks from 2009… (Moreno, Ayers & Quinn). I held out for Moreno thinking maybe his 2nd year would be better, but have to admit after his repeat performance of not being available two years in a row was very coincidental. (start of season). Ayers is now the only one I have hope for, that he may contribute.

Moreno was the only one to hold out of I remember correctly and it’s obvious he has not earned his keep.
Not sure what the terms and length of contract for KM. (4 or 5 yr deal), but if we can dump it, it may be the best option at this point, or once we get another RB.
Curious to find out how Lendale White’s recovery is coming along.

Let’s get this CBA done so we can get back to football !!

In my opinion if Moreno doesn’t show vast improvment over the length of his contract, he could end up being just another average back in the NFL.

Last season, after the Broncos beat the Chiefs for one of Denver’s rare wins since starting the 2009 season 6-0, Kansas City coach Todd Haley’s post-game handshake with former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels was replaced with a pointed index finger.

Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt, appearing on the Vic & Gary show on 102.3 the Fan in Denver, offered an eye-opening explanation for the maneuver.

Haley, per Colquitt, thought McDaniels was cheating.

“I don’t know if I can answer that within the locker room, but I know that it has something to do with the Spygate, the videotaping,” Colquitt said. “All the stuff like that. And I think that Haley was like, ‘Listen, based on that game I can tell what you are doing, and you are cheating.’ . . .

“I think it was just a culmination of rumors and [McDaniels] had been involved in that in New England possibly before, and so Todd was just kind of saying, ‘Look, with the game plan we had and what you guys already knew we were gonna do, this is’ . . . basically saying it was ‘bush, bush league.’”

Sometimes it feels good to give some their money back, haha.

When the NFL’s veteran free-agent signing period is underway, abruptly and briefly, John Fox will experience a fresh concept.

The Broncos will sign a few free agents.

During the coach’s final two years as the lame-Fox coach of the Panthers, the franchise signed exactly zero new, high-profile, unrestricted free agents.

“I am aware of that,” Fox said grimly when I brought up the rather astounding, ignominious absence of activity by Carolina.

In comparison, from 2009-10, the Broncos signed 29 veteran free agents. Only nine remain. Josh McDaniels lured three veteran linemen — ends Justin Bannan and Jarvis Green and nose tackle Jamal Williams — to start in the Broncos’ restructured 3-4 defense. Green was cut prior to the season. Bannan and Williams have been released this offseason. The Broncos are back to the 4-3.

And here comes the most unbelievable figure of them all:

Since the advent of unrestricted free agency in 1993, the Broncos have signed 106 players, the mile-highest number in the entire league. Patrick Smyth, the Broncos’ director of media relations, confirmed the total and the dubious achievement. (!!!!!!!!! WOW)

“I wasn’t keeping up much with the Broncos, but I’d heard that number,” Fox told me.

No telling how many hundreds of millions (a billion?) in bonuses and guaranteed salary the Broncos paid to those free agents in that 17-year span.

And Woody is still pulling notes from his two and a half hour interview with Fox:

“We have our complete lists of rankings of four-, five- and six-year free agents, depending on what happens, and we know who we would like to go after,” Fox said. “I want to rebuild this team through the draft, though. You pick your spots (in free agents), fill in places of need. They don’t have to be high- priced talent. There are players on our lists who are quality veterans and can help us win, and they don’t have to cost a ton of money.

“You want your homegrown players who you can teach, coach and mold to fit into your system and haven’t developed bad habits.”

The extravagant spending on free agents during the Mike Shanahan and the McDaniels reigns is over. The EFX triumvirate won’t be a compulsive shopper.

Don’t think about cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha at $18 million a year.

And that means you can also forget about guys who want the kind of money Mebane does, just saying.
