Broncos vs. Packers: First Quarter Notes

August 22nd, 2008 - 6:47pm by Adam Zinser

15:00: Matt Prater kicks off for the Broncos. He boots it deep into the endzone for a touchback. First-and-10, Green Bay, at the 20. Aaron Rodgers takes the field at QB. Starting on D for the Broncos: Marquand Manuel, Marlon McCree, Dre’ Bly, Champ Bailey, D.J. Williams, Jamie Winborn, Nate Webster, Dewayne Robertson, Marcus Thomas, John Engelberger and Elvis Dumervil

13:48: The Packers’ first two plays were Rodgers passes, going for 35 and then 17 yards.

12:51: The Packers have the ball at the Denver 26, second-and-eight. Rodgers completes a pass to Greg Jennings close to a first down. Marlon McCree pushes Jennings out of bounds.

11:30: Rodgers kept the ball on a QB sneak for a first down on the previous play. Just handed off to Brandon Jackson for a seven yard gain, taking them to the seven yard line.

11:28: Rodgers forced out of the pocket, throws the ball out of the back of the endzone. Third-and-three from the 10: pass complete to Donald Driver for a touchdown. 7-0, Packers.

11:23: Eddie Royal fielded the ensuing kickoff a few yards deep in the endzone, but bobbled he. He knelt down for a touchback. Jay Cutler comes in to lead the Broncos offense. Starting on O for the Broncos: Jay Cutler, Selvin Young, Cecil Sapp, Brandon Marshall, Eddie Royal, Nate Jackson, Ryan Clady, Ryan Harris, Chris Kuper, Ben Hamilton and Casey Wiegmann

11:17: After a deep attempt for Nate Jackson sailed high and out of bounds, Cutler pitched to Selvin Young. He took it left and cut up field for a 21-yard gain.

8:59: After a tipped pass and a short Young run, Cutler scrambled up the middle and was stopped just shy of the first down marker. Fourth-and-one, and the Broncos go for it. Andre Hall gets the first down, but a penalty on the Packers moves the ball even further. Broncos have a first-and-ten from the Packer 45.

7:04: Cutler complete to Marshall for a 22-yard gain when the Broncos were facing a long third down, giving them a first down at the Packer 22.

5:28: After a no-gainer by Andre Hall and two incompletions, it’s fourth-and-10 from the 22. Prater comes out to attempt 40-yard and knocks it through. 7-3, Green Bay.

5:28: Prater booms another kickoff into the endzone, this one bouncing in from several yards out. Back-to-back touchbacks and a 40-yarder — a pretty good start for Prater.

4:01: After a pair of short runs, the Packers just barely inched out a first down on a pass from Rodgers to Ruvell Martin.

1:22: The Packers face a third-and-six from their own 37, and the Broncos would have had them stopped, but Elvis Dumervil jumped offsides. Now the Packers face a third-and-two from the 50. They get the first down on a short run by Jackson.

0:09: Dumervil sacks Rodgers for a loss of eight yards to end the first quarter.

    Tha was pathetic

  3. ten_fiver says:

    Well, good job on the quick start D.

  4. navy_bronco_fan says:

    Well, let’s hope the offense looks better than the D.

    I said it last year and I’ll say it again….Shanny’s ego is keeping Tony out of the game….he may not be the best blocker but the KIDS GOT SKILLS! I don’t CARE if you don’t like how he practices or blocks, when the lights go on he comes alive and CUTLER FINDS HIM

  6. sgriffeth78 says:

    Well I certainly hope this isn’t what we have to look forward to this season from our D. Pretty pathetic.

  7. navy_bronco_fan says:

    Cutler and the WRs don’t seem to be on the same page yet.

  8. hrdnokd says:

    OK, ONE COMPLETION is not what I call a good start tonight. Call a timeout or something, get it together.

  9. navy_bronco_fan says:

    Alright! Prater is 1 for 1…………..first time as a Bronco!

  10. hrdnokd says:

    NICELY, at least the kicker looked good. ALRIGHT D, time to GET IT TOGETHER. Show us you got something to prove, because you DO!

  11. ten_fiver says:

    Huzaaah! Now if we can only get the defense, offense and the rest of the special teams shored up we’re good!

    DOOM!!!!!
