The Broncos took the field Saturday night for a one hour and 15 minute walkthrough practice open only to the media. The players split into two groups — first and second team — and ran through various plays, sets and formations for about the first hour of practice. The last 15 minutes focused solely on special teams.
ROLL CALL
Linebacker D.J. Williams participated in the evening walkthrough after sitting out the morning practice. McBean, Woodyard and Prater looked on from the periphery of the drills but aren’t allowed to practice until Aug. 4.
PLAYMAKERS
In a walkthrough session, there often isn’t much to report in terms of notable plays. The team ran through their sets at about 75 percent as the players didn’t wear pads or a helmet. Some players sported Broncos hats or visors.
The last drill was interesting in that around 40 players, mainly those participating on the special teams unit, stood in two lines facing each other practicing blocking punts without taking out the punter. One player would kick their foot up while his partner put his hands in front of him and lightly tapped the top of his foot. The idea is to “block the ball, not the foot.”
QUICK HITS
The team will hit the field next on Sunday with only one practice from 2:20-5pm that is open to the public.
Below are a few pictures of players heading out to the field. During afternoon walkthrough sessions, the shooting period is very brief.

Oh and Bay, no problem.
Warren not passing his physical in N-E and that serious injury makes him a gamble of some sort I would imagine, only because most of the DTs are now gone is Fox willing to take a shot on him is my educated guess.
We need to bag Ty Warren, Jamaal Anderson, and Marcus Thomas to even start addressing the DT position, too bad we couldnt get a better player all relativly wash ups. The times not out yet, maby we can find someone later. if we can even get any of those players listed above.
Denver_Broncos: Elvis Dumervil is working 1-on-1 w/ Von Miller off to the side, going over some pass-rush techniques
Glad to read this. Go get’em.
Thanks for that info Beast! Well no need for me to trip I look at this up coming season like this….
1. Now that Wifey has order the NFL ticket for me, I’ll have more to say in the blogs about the games since I’ll be able to see them.
2. If this season is what we think it will be….. My son won’t be born until nov 28th so he will be to small to see and understand why Daddy is cursing at the TV.
Well at least LSU will be taking on Tenn. for the SEC title so we can celebrate that as father and son!! Hahahaha
There you go dude,lol.
LOL melloo. My B-day is two days before, Thanksgiving week. So your sons birthday will land on Thanksgiving once every 7 years, cool I think.
Everybody thinks Doom will be hard to handle this year,what about Ayers and Miller on the other side?
Man we should have a good pass rush this year=more sacks and more ints!
Suppertime!
strand that would be very cool if that happens. Part of me hopes he makes the Scorpio cut off since I’m a Scorpio. Hahahaha!
Beast I won’t lie, I’m very excited to see what Dennis Allen schemes up bc he had a big hand in what the Saints have done the past few years.
BFE, Daniel Graham just signed a 3 year deal with the Titans, cool.
Graham says he will play 3-4 more years!
Great blocking TE with good hands.
I guess EFX thought he was too old,IDK!
Graham had been on the decline for two/three years, you guys noticed, and the money probably wasn’t right for that sort of contribution and it was not going to get any better, I mean the guy is up in age, it was the right think to let him go, one good decision there. His catching abilities had seriously declined.
Fells expected to be the starting TE,Rosario to be backup,and the 2 Rookies to learn from them,Gronkowski and Quinn will probably get cut,probably Hell they will have to be cut,no way we keep 6 TEs,lucky if we keep 4!
Alright, I rarely post but read often so here is my take. The team that was on the field last year sucked…. We all know that.. Infact when you watched our team last year there were 22 loosers and speacial teams on the feild. The only exception being the last three games where we lost and won as a team. I know we have beat the Orton thing to death but I know we are not going to be much, if any better this year. I do however want to watch our team win and lose as a team… If we can start that this year, which for some stupid reason we have all seen Tebow capable of, (except for management) we will be in good shape for the furture… If we continue to develop individual loosers that our future is going to be a long one, that I will watch, but not like. Lets put a leader in the game that unites the team, start playing as a team, and than we can get the pieces that we need to complete the team.
SGT T.
oh yeah and thank you for your time.
I just figured it out. Baylin is Ortons ex-wife!!! Lol
Finally. A few FAs on board. I’m trying not to get too excited, but if Marcus Thomas does sign again, I will be happy. And ready for the season to begin! Anything else would be icing, sprinkles etc. on the proverbial cake!!!
I believe Thomas is due for a breakout season!
No. Thank you for your time Sarge!!!!
Much appreciated sargeant, the team concept with the leader concept, gotta respect that, it must be someting in the air around our neighborhood, you in Fort Hood, I around Austin, and both with basically the same core thinking about the direction we need to take regardless of the short term consequences, well done.
You got your wish sndvl:
The Broncos have re-signed defensive tackle Marcus Thomas on a one-year contact.
so we got Thomas signed. I do like thomas. We need more beef, Where`s the beef. HaHa!!
Oh yeah!!!!!!!
Our first D player signed and he played for us last year, rather funny.
Quick sndvl, wish for la’ron mcclain…lol
Or Jason Snelling. Give Bay an early christmas gift. LOL
Yeah forget Orton’s ex-wife, give me something that doesn’t gross me out.
I think jason snelling is going to the gaints.
Sorry i meant giants…lol
Bummer!
QUESTION! If we cut Orton would we have to pay him anything?
Around 4.4 mil
Yes, I think like 2.5 million.
So I was off by 2 mill.
Nice to sign Thomas,not trying to be a negative Nancy,but the best we could do is a 1 year contract?
If he does good in our 4-3 scheme,maybe we can sign him longer!
Only one year huh?
I thought I was negative Nancy, Orton’s ex-wife.
LMAO!!
Well it’s 4.4 million,well worth it to get Orton outta here and get on with Tebow and the future of this team.All this Orton/Tebow thing is doing is causing controversy,I say cut him,and end this nightmare,so we can finally wake up!!!
LMAO!!!
If i was Fox, I’d keep him and pay him for the year on the bench for not lowering his contract to trade him. I would have told him that straight up 2 weeks ago.
lol
Yeah, but then we have to pay him nearly 9 mil, tough price to pay for a lesson!
Hey guys…
In celebration of Doom being back this season, here is the vid of the broncos browns game where he got 4 sacks in the game…..hahaha, sorry Quinn!
That’s the problem,if Orton stays and Fox ends up liking him,Tebow may never ever get his shot!…Orton-B-Gone!!!
Forgot to post the vid…
Here it is!!

I hope all the fans have their bottle of Ortho for tomorrow’s practice.
Whether we realize it or not, it`s still early and anything can happen. Orton can still be traded in the next two weeks or later. Some team is going to come calling for Orton, we`re just going to have to waot a little while longer.
What scares me is that Fox let Delhomme be the starter for like 7 years, more or less, and Ortons gotta be better than Delhomme in his prime
