In the second-highest scoring Pro Bowl in history, the AFC came away with a 59-41 victory Sunday in Honolulu.
Six Broncos took part in the all-star game, and rookie Von Miller led the way on the defensive side of the ball, notching six tackles and a sack.
Champ Bailey recovered a fumble and made three tackles and Brian Dawkins chipped in two tackles for the winning AFC squad.
Elvis Dumervil didn’t record any tackles in the game.
On offense, Ryan Clady saw plenty of time along the offensive line, though most of it came at right tackle. Just like in Clady’s first Pro Bowl in 2010, the offensive linemen pick positions by seniority, so the fourth-year left tackle was pushed to the right side of the line.
Willis McGahee carried the ball four times for 23 yards, recording one catch for 20 more yards.
The 59 points scored by the AFC set a Pro Bowl record.

That’s why I heard nothing about Doom, he had no tackles…
And Clady playing at right tackle was perfect practice to protect Tebow’s blind side, LOL.
Sounds like a good showing overall by the Broncos.
Yep,
That was about as interesting of a pro bowl as I can remember.
Just in case some of you don’t get Bleacher Report I thought I would share. Pretty funny!

Thanks for that!
MacGahee is THE MAN!
I actually was a little impressed with this Pro Bowl. Cudos going to all of our Bronco representatives. They represented well for us. I especially like the shot they were able to give A. Rogers when he was dumb enough to catch his own pass after it was knocked into the air. Took him for a 15 yard loss and took him to the ground. Priceless!!!
I have a droid as well and sometimes my A acts up too.
I don’t see us getting a DT. Fox could careless. Even now he is looking at Melvin who is a edge rusher who could be slid inside. Still looking at rushers no matter what. Kirk Patrick will be the man at 25 no doubt if he falls because quite frankly he is easily a top 15 pick. Wish Morris Clairborne fell tho lol.
Lets not forget Chris Harris played safety as well and made it on the all rookie team or whatever as a safety. He is just pretty short for a safety in my book.
Still got faith in Rahim, QC, Irving and the TEs … which is why I doubt we go Safety, MLB or TE early or at all lol. And I won’t be mad because all I ever wanted was efficient drafting. No wasted picks, you over reaching.
And PS: 007, QC was a steal indeed in the 4th round. I believe if they knew he would be around in the forth, the wouldn’t have gotten Rahim. QC was graded as a 2nd/3rd round talent and we got him in the forth. Was so excited when we got him. More so than rahim cuz I wanted Paea. Plus QC hits like a mac truck. 2 ints aint bad either. Only knock is he runs like a 4.6 … he is slow as dirt. Man so slow he makes Moreno look like a burner lol.
TRB
no over reaching*
If I’m correct Miller had 2 sacks on Newton, 1st he celebrated with his eating hungry celebrating, and the 2nd he did 3 somersaults after.
And I believe Miller even forced the fumble that Champ recovered.
seweatherman1 Wasn’t Dumervil the one dragging him to the ground that play? and I thought Von had 2 sacks.. meh!
BroncosRmyReligion –
That’s what I thought, on Cam Newton, but NFL.com only gives him credit for one: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2012012900/2011/PRO21/nfc-pro-bowl@afc-pro-bowl#menu=highlights&tab=analyze
exactly broncosrmyreligion miller was the one who stripped the ball and bailey recovered!
@TRB That’s why I compared him to Ryan Clark from the Steelers. Same type of player. Now to get the freelancer beside him when BDawk retires. Moore needs to improve on that aspect. He used to play CB in college as well. (Moore did)
Is it September yet!!
Ravens have hired Jim Caldwell as their quarterbacks coach.
Like he had anything to do with Peyton Manning and he is going to help Flacco, haha.
I have a feeling that were going to go linebacker in the first. Maybe north Carolina”s Zach brown if he fell to us and or MLB vontaze burfict I think the broncos have the right personnel to contain him.
The problem with that would be it would make EFX look bad for the selections of Irving and Mohamed.
Same for the guys who thing we might draft safety again or TE again.
Hence the logical conclusion to me would be for them to draft CB, RB and DT in the first three rounds in whatever order the players fall best.
Newton finished 9 of 27 for 186 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
…. and people thought if Tebow made it in he would embarass us. Yikes. For a half speed game those are horrible numbers.
TRB
Those three were all positions not addressed in the draft last year other than Harris at CB but he was undrafted, so that plan would make more sense to me, if they stick to a long term plan with what they got last year of course.
Well I think we have a good group of developing CB in harris,vaughin, and syd’quan.And RB’s I think we need one more to compete because with fannin coming back I think we should get a good rotation this year.And I hope mohamed and Irving can show up this offseason.
And Fannin was undrafted too.
Very accurate. They arent ready to give up. Thier aim was to draft starters last year and they still believe in them. Besides theirs no real worthy safety in this years draft. Wasting another pick on TE would be crazy. The only pick that would make sense is MLB even tho we already drafted one because the likes of Buffict and Hightower are great prospects and may truly be the best available. I am more of a buffict guy tho. The man plays mean and angry. Our D needs some more intimidation.
So I agree. CB RB DT. As it stands in my working Mock. I have us taking DT Jerel Worthy, RB Doug Martin and CB Chase minnifield. We will see how people rise and fall tho.
TRB
I believe in Super Mario Fannin. But he got hurt so easily. Can’ put ur eggs all in one basket which is why im sure they are looking at RBs. He was a training camp stud and has the size and speed required. But he maybe a glass RB.
Syd aint bad, Chris Harris is stella, and Vaughn will never be a capable CB in my book. His speed is however great for running down recievers. He is a return man in my book.
True and people say that because vontaze is mean and angry it wont be the same in the nfl but look at Suh for the lions.
I hear you and I think many different scenarios can make a lot of sense but I’m just putting myself into EFX shoes and since they have a long term plan, they started last year by getting 2 safeties, two ILBs and two TEs in the draft and for them to go there again wouldn’t make any sense unless they have completely given up on some of those picks which would be unusual at best after only one year.
That’s really the only reason I bring these thoughts up, what would my second draft look like after what my first one looked like, there has got to be a plan and it has to be followed if you call it a plan, at least the guideline of it.
Vaughn is pretty decent he just needs an off season the same as our young DB”s.
Well, TRB and I are dead on thinking similar on all of that, just imagine… there must be something to what we say because we don’t usually agree on personnel very much, LOL.
Someone just called me sensible yesterday, so I gotta keep that up, LOL.
I enjoyed this!
A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man. Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.
“What’s the problem, ma?” the hostess asked her
“Can’t you see?” the lady said – “I was given a seat next to a black man. I can’t seat here next to him. You have to change my seat”
- “Please, calm down, ma” – said the hostess
“Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I’m still going to check if we have any.”
The hostess left and returned some minutes later.
“Madam, as I told you, there isn’t any empty seat in this class- economy class.
But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn’t any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class.”
And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued
“Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class.
However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person.”
And turning to the black man, the hostess said:
“Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class…”
And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet.”
lol you never know we might have to make Doom stand up again.
I enjoyed that DAD13 thanks
Take a look at this article and tell me what you guys think:

I really like the idea of drafting Osweiler, but that’s probably because I went to the same high school as he did (at the same time, for two years).
Del Rio presser.
http://www.denverbroncos.com/multimedia/audio/Del-Rio-Introductory-Conference-Call/4b9e218a-2d98-42de-8c2d-6cd2f5d74602
lol DB … that was nice … i was curious where that was headed lol
TRB
Wait did I just hear Del Rio say he is bringing Luke Richardson? Wasn’t that his strength and conditioning coach in Jax. You know the same team with about 29 players on IR? F* me. Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire.
TRB
Luke Richesson, we talked about that at length with sndvl, he is already here and I have no problem with it considering Tuten is out.

Tide – I know you can fight your own battles, just letting you know that I get a kick out of it!
Bay – I thought u said Fox likes to take the best player available, now you say he will only address the positions that he didn’t draft last year.. Which one is it??
Maniac – I also like Osweiler, think he could good
Daddy bronc – funny story.. I too was wondering where you were going with that one…. Lol
Lol TRB…
It seemed many teams were hit hard with the injury thing this season…
Wonder if the lack of an offseason contributed to that???
Good point, EFX ultimately does the drafting and I say they go with their plan. Anyhow that is what Fox himself said, he likes to go with the best possible human talent.
sndvl, most of us said it would, so this year injuries would be a tough one to judge the conditioning coach on, but Tuten has a track record with us dating back to 1995 and in the last 11 years we have had horrible season finishes in 9 of them, that is more than a coincidence in my book.
Yep. It sure will be interesting to see what we do (major understatement). I agree that their hands are a bit tied having just drafted 2 safeties, 2 ILB’s, and 2 TE’s.. One can argue that those are our biggest needs..
Hey everyone. New to the message board, just wanted to say hey and I look forward to talking about the upcoming draft (with those who care, my wife really doesn’t) and a very satisfying upcoming 2012 season.
I missed you guys this last year!!! Although I read the blogs everyday, I just didnt post… The draft looks to be promising. I think it was a stroke of geniouse picking up Del Rio. Seems as if the players are excited as well. The strength and conditioning coach that he is bringing I really don’t know all that much about…. But come on… He is replacing Tuten.. FINALLY! Many of us have been begging for that for some time. I am also very excited to see Tim play next year because I do believe he is the hardest worker in the league. Despite seeing him at the Nugets game, Kenny Chesney Concert, and all other events that NFL.com paparazzi are placing him at. lol. I believe that Johns commitment to developing Tebow in the offseason is going to shine through! I am very excited for next year! We are still young, in a young developing system. I can’t wait!!!!
Reading about the Giants philosophy of pressuring QBs I realized that its exactly the key to success! It’s all about D-line and O-line!!
We do need more and better pass rushers so I Foxy gets another DE I would be very happy! Of course we need to stop the run too so 1st round we really need either DE, DT or MLB!!!
RB also needed. I dont think we need another CB with Harris, Syd’Quan, and there’s another young guy I cant remember! Let our safeties have one more year to try. Hopefully Q. Carter develops into an all pro!! Not so optimistic about Rahim though
!
DT, DE, MLB and RB is what the Doctor ordered!!! and in that order!!
It would be nice if we picked up Michael FLoyd in the 1st round and a Defensive end in the second round…then put Doom as a outside linebacker..and the receiver will give Tebow another big target to go along with D. Thomas and E. Decker
the fans were correct to boo…did you see that run by mccoy…horrible.
Von Miller actually had two sacks and a forced fumble.
