With Tim Tebow preparing to make his first start of the 2011 season on Sunday at Miami, there is an aura of excitement surrounding the team. The national level of interest in this week’s game was evidenced at the team’s training facility on Wednesday when more than 60 members of the media, including two national outlets, were on hand to observe practice.
The team can sense that excitement with Tebow at the helm, a player known for his leadership and enthusiasm on and off the field.
“Oh yeah we feel it,” running back Willis McGahee said. “He’s our guy, so whatever he feels, we’re going to feel. It’s a good thing he has all this energy going into the huddle and it’s like we’re following along with him.”
Wide receiver Eric Decker credited Tebow’s positive outlook with helping pick up the mood of the entire team.
“He’s a go-happy guy,” Decker said. “I’ve never seen him in a bad mood to be honest, and that’s good to have because a lot of times football is a grind, and some days are harder than others. You might not be having the best day physically or mentally, making some mistakes, but you know he’s always looking at the positives, and that’s something that I think will rub off in the huddle.”
Tebow hopes his attitude in the huddle can lead to success on the field this Sunday.
“I want to go out there and play my heart out and play my hardest,” Tebow said. “On the field, try to lead those guys, and definitely help execute this game plan in practice and get it rolling in the game, find a way to make plays and get the guys around me — and ultimately together try to get a victory.”

I would go withRomo, St Louis seconadary giving up most points in the league to WR’s…
Id start Tebow. He’s a fantasy machine even when he doesn’t play well. Romo is safer but wouldn’t expect more then 14-18 points depending on your scoring.
Tebow could put up 30 any given Sunday…a bad game 7-10, which is only 6 points difference or so from Romo’s “normal” game.
See I know Tebow will be dual threat but Romo consistently puts up high teens and St. Louis is horrendus against pass
daddybronc: You didn’t have to answer and a lot of people wouldn’t have. You are an impressive individual to say the least. I cannot even fathom the amount of patience it takes to raise that many children. As a man who also work himself through college, (took me 7 years instead of the normal 4 but I’m debt free
) I commend you for instilling that sort of work ethic in them. Well done sir.
Truth be told – we put out a lot of effort in the beginning and now I’m spoiled – old -fat- lazy –
and very blessed!
Go Cards!
pitching duel was a bit slow to watch. Final 3-2
Cards 1-0 in the series.
‘Debt free’ is good –
I was completely debt free last year then I bought a house July 2010. In this economy it’ll take 10 years for me to pay off –
I’m hoping for better times where I can pay off in 5-7.
There I go – killin’ another perfectly good blog.
G’nite
Hey bay, how do you think the broncos are going to play their receivers? I personally think #1 is decker and #2 is thomas #3 is royal #4 is wilis. What do you think?
Put down the kool-aid and pick up the gator-aid.
GO Broncos.
31-13 Broncos
Tough call 1580, the two most exeprienced would be Decker and Royal but they are both kind of best in the slot, but maybe Decker 1 and Royal 2 would be the best bet for this week, even so personally I would rather see Decker 1 and Willis 2. As far as Thomas being 1 it would surprise me since he is not in football shape yet and has only started two games in two years, but if he remains healthy then a couple weeks down the road he should be but if they do make him start this week it would really show me they have no confidence in Royal or Willis.
This specially for the few bloggers here who don’t think we’re rebuilding, LMAO, from Woody:
Elway has told me all along this rebuilding project is for three years.
31-10 Broncos Win
Still Woody about the Luck sweepstake:
The Dolphins or the Colts will get to draft Luck – but stick with me here – except Luck may pull an Elway or an Eli and say he’s not going to play for the team that drafts him. How can he do that? LUCK IS A JUNIOR. He can threaten to go back to school for his senior year if he doesn’t like, say, the Vikings. He has leverage, certainly more than Eli Manning did when he said he wouldn’t play for the Chargers (and the Chargers actually made out like a bandit on that one with Rivers).
Could that be the main reason why Elway still hangs around Stanford, we may not have the #1 pick this year but Elway knows a lot about not playing for a team you don’t want to play for.
To me the best plan B scenario if Tebow doesn’t work out this year is Urban Meyer takes the HC job in Miami after Sparano gets fired, he drafts Luck who tells him he won’t play for them, and Elway and Meyer have it all worked out trading Tebow, Meyer’s college darling QB, along with our #1 pick to the Dolphins for Luck. Plan B gets a little tougher if the Colts have the #1 pick because Luck probably won’t mind replacing Manning there and the Colts are not about to repeat the Elway trade mistake that they got forced into with the playing baseball threat.
And Luck and his father have said he is not interested in playing for a dysfunctional team, and the Dolphins are just that and the Colts aren’t, the bigger question then would be, are we? LOL.
Hey Everyone……….
Work has once again taken me away from the blog for a few days, and as usual, I missed a ton.
I’m coping with broncos football withdrawl during this bye week, but I can’t wait to see this team take the feild in Miami!
I wonder what BMarsh plans on doing this game? He would’ve been better off getting kicked out of that last game early……..then he would’ve saved himself the embarrasment of not making those big plays that could’ve changed the game. I think he’s lost a little something…….a lot of those were tough catches, yes, but usually made ones by a WR of his calibre.
I’m interested to see how in-tune Tebow and our recievers will be come Sunday. Do we have an emerging deep threat now that Lloyd is gone?
And Woody here is completely going senile over his earlier season record pick or Alzheimer is setting in which is basically the same thing, unless he is flat lying, because I happened to have taken his season record prediction down just before the season started, 6-10, just like mine, and today he says this:
On the road, the Broncos could beat Miami, the Chiefs and the Vikings, and the Buffalo game is tough to figure. I don’t believe they’ll beat New England, San Diego and Oakland. I say if they can stay as healthy as they are now the Broncos will win six and lose five – and finish 7-9 (which is what I also predicted before the season).
Going where the wind blows?
Can’t change your pick Woody, those are the rules, got you down for 6-10, LMAO!
Got my Tickets for the Broncos, Dolphins game. first time going to a pro event. Couldn’t have picked a better time!
Woody is a complete cook. I actually like the guy cause of the entertainment value of his senseless ramblings.
He writes better than he talks but that isn’t saying much lol.
It’s funny cause he is always the guy to say “I knew all along” yet what he has said all along was anything but.
That is awesome BroncoGator.
My wife got us tickets to the Oakland vs. Denver game for our aniversery.
Only NFL game I’ve been to was the Broncos-Chiefs game in KC in December of 05. We lost, the fans got meaner the more intoxicated they became, it was super cold like -10, we were in the second to top row, I was almost jumped in the parking lot just for wearing my Elway jersey, etc…but I had a blast. Seriously. I really want to go to a home game before I die though.
Last year when we drafted Demarius, Decker, and Tebow, I started dreaming of the potential of the trio to be dominant. They are all three bigger, faster and stronger than average at their positions. If they can stay healthy the Broncos have a chance to become something very special. I also still believe in Knowshon. Moreno was an absolute stud at Georgia when he had a quarterback (Stafford) that could threaten a defense and keep them honest. Knowshon has been put in a whole different situation here in Denver with KO as the signal caller, vanilla play calling, and almost always playing from behind. Tebow will spread defenses out with his running ability plus he has better throw power than Orton. Knowshon will find more space in the open field because of this and we all know that in the open field Knowshon can do good things.
Whos going to the broncs lions game?, i hit two games a year, and this is my first chance to see the ALLSPARK live,( i almost canceled my second game this year in protest of the ortonary).
i just couldnt justify the cost vs. satisfaction with orton at the helm, it seemed like waste of money.
