Healthy Update

October 15th, 2010 - 1:51pm by Gray Caldwell

While the week began with a blow, Friday brought some positive news on the injury front.

Demaryius Thomas returned to the practice field for the first time this week, having fully recovered from a concussion suffered last Sunday.

“He passed all of the tests, so that’s good for him and today will be another test, too — he’s got to go through a practice and feel comfortable with that,” Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. “He didn’t have any recurring symptoms yesterday and that’s a couple days in a row (without symptoms), so we feel like we’ve gone through all of the things we’ve needed to go through to put him back on the field.”

In addition to Thomas’ return, Knowshon Moreno practiced for the second consecutive day, something that McDaniels said has the team excited.

The Broncos’ injury report features 10 players, five of which were declared out of Sunday’s game earlier this week — Robert Ayers (foot), Brian Dawkins (knee), Andre’ Goodman (quadricep), Darcel McBath (ankle) and Wesley Woodyard (hamstring).

With those five players out, McDaniels said the team might have to get creative with its lineup — “We’re looking at a few different concoctions of alignments,” — but David Bruton said he’s confident that whoever is on the field will step up.

Fortunately for the Broncos, the remaining five players on the injury report all practiced at least once this week. Andre Brown (illness) and Mario Haggan (neck) are probable for the contest, while Spencer Larsen (ankle), Moreno (hamstring) and Thomas (concussion) are listed as questionable.

As for the Jets, cornerback Darrelle Revis is questionable for the contest. The five remaining players on the injury report — linebacker Calvin Pace (foot), safety Jim Leonhard (biceps), center Nick Mangold (shoulder), guard Brandon Moore (hamstring) and linebacker Jamaal Westerman (ankle) are probable to play on Sunday.

ORANGE SUNDAY

Get your Orange on.

Mayor John Hickenlooper has officially proclaimed the Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets game on Sunday as “Orange Sunday.”

For that reason, Mayor Hickenlooper and the Broncos are encouraging all fans to wear orange to the game. Broncos players will be wearing their alternate orange jerseys, and all fans attending the game will receive an Orange Sunday rally towel courtesy of U.S. Bank.

“I think it will be an exciting day on Sunday,” McDaniels said. “I think our players like wearing the orange. We don’t get to wear it much — I think twice during the course of the regular season — so it’s always a little bit of a change-up and I know they enjoy doing that. We will enjoy the stadium being filled with orange.”

In celebration of the event, the club is holding a pep rally from 3-6 p.m. MDT today at Larimer Square.

Broncos alumni Randy Gradishar, Ed McCaffrey, Billy Thompson and Louis Wright along with current players Jabar Gaffney, Haggan, Brandon Lloyd and Perrish Cox are set to appear. The event will include the club’s Super Bowl trophies, mascots Miles and Thunder and cheerleaders.

The event will include food and drink specials as well as ticket and merchandise giveaways. So if you’re in the area, make sure to get downtown tonight in anticipation of the game. And if you’re headed to INVESCO Field at Mile High on Sunday, wear orange, and make sure to get there early, so the Jets see nothing but orange by kickoff.

TRAFFIC NOTIFICATION

Due to the Denver Marathon on Sunday, temporary road closures are expected throughout the downtown area until approximately 2:00 p.m., which will affect gameday traffic for the Broncos’ game against the Jets that kicks off at 2:05 p.m.

Primary arteries to the stadium, including Colfax Avenue, 6th Avenue, Speer Boulevard and Alameda Avenue will still be accessible, however delays are possible at intersections where the marathon course crosses those roadways. All those attending the Broncos game should be aware of the Denver Marathon course and plan for alternate routes to the stadium if necessary or consider alternative transportation options including carpools, light rail or the RTD Broncos Ride. Road closures and detours for the Denver Marathon will be in effect between 6:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Prior to the marathon, police will implement a soft closure along the entire race course. The race begins at 6:55 AM and streets will reopen on a rolling basis as soon as the last participant has passed and all course support materials have been removed. Please review the Denver Marathon course map for more information at the link below.

As part of the Orange Sunday festivities, the Broncos are hosting “Orange Ride” in conjunction with the City of Denver, Denver B-cycle, the Denver Cruisers and BikeDenver. Fans can choose one of four peloton starting locations & ride their bike to the game. All bike riders will receive free admission to the Broncos Barn pregame tailgate party (opens at 11:05 AM).

    Whats so exciting about Moreno being questionable. Sorry for being a negative nancy but WE NEED our #12 pick to be PLAYING not questionable. I realize this is out of anyones control but I had to pick a bone with everyone being excited over someone being questionable.

  2. braydensbroncos says:

    Lets hope for no more injuries and that k. moreno can get it going and become the rb we need for this team. god knows the other rb’s we have are horrible. lets go broncos now is the time to shock the nfl by beating the jets when know one is giving you a chance.

  3. denver0723 says:

    I like Bay Bay’s new look. It’s more fearsome haha. I don’t wanna see him on return duty though. He is too valuable for that. Same with Royal. Activate Syd, and let him and Cox handle it. Hell, let Decker or Willis for that matter. We have a lot of unused talent, I say we use it.

    Glad to see Moreno out there having fun with the kicker’s jersey. Perhaps that means his hammy is feeling a lot better. Would really like to see him play on Sunday. He dances around a lot at the line of scrimmage, but he is still our best option. And I think he can get his act together. (Especially since all the coaches are really watching and trying to improve the run game in all aspects. Line, backs, etc. It probably won’t make much progress on the Jets D though..)

    I won’t be at the game, but I got all my orange Bronco gear ready to go! Don’t own any jerseys though, on account of the fact that I don’t want to invest in one because I never know who will be on the team each season haha.

    Jets will be tough. I really feel like if we force turnovers we can win this game though. Sanchez has yet to throw a pick, and I think he is primed to do so this weekend. I like the thought of Mays playing. McD hasn’t released the depth chart yet, but I have a good feeling Mays will show us something. Loved watching him in preseason.

    Broncos – 24
    Jets – 21

    I feel optimistic today. We give up 3 TD’s on the ground, and none through the air. And Orton has another good day as he picks on Kyle Wilson trying to cover whoever Cromartie and Revis can’t.

    Go Broncos!!!!!!!

  4. 1nOnlyTRB says:

    A couple of silver linings I suppose. Would be nice if Moreno and DT can go but ST barely plays and we can do without Moreno for one more week if it means he is closer to full strength. I see royal wills till be the returner…well he does many things well and KR is just another one of them. Would still like to see Cox return some, and maybe even none starters like Vaughn and Thompson. At least i they get hurt…the blow is not AS damaging. Gonna be optimistic and say Broncos 23 Jets 17. Go Broncos.

  5. tnalen66 says:

    I picked the Broncos as my upset in my football pick pool. 23-21!

  6. 07elway says:

    lol, funny seeing players wearing different jerseys. That pick of Moreno & Mays is hilarious!! Dance on Broncos, dance on. LOL

    I got my #7 Orange Elway jersey all set to go for Sunday. denver0723 – best way to invest in a jersey is pick someone who’s retired and made a big impact on the team… someone like, gee I don’t know… Elway. ;)

    Big D – there is nothing “exciting” about Moreno being questionable. I think we’d all like to have him back as he seems to be our only hope of having any kind of run game this season. However, if he’s not healthy enough to play, there’s no need to risk it. But I’d be willing to bet he’ll get to play a little on Sunday. I seriously doubt though he’ll play the whole game when our offense is on. Relax dude, time heals all wounds. lol

    Have some faith Broncos Country…
    GO BRONCOS in 2010!!!!

  7. Big D 44 says:

    You can NEVER go wrong with an Elway jersey, thats for sure. Thanks for the orange koolaid 07elway, I can be a little fiestly at times. LOL

  8. imready says:

    Wish they would activate Syd and let him return kickoffs. I thought he was electric , like early devin Hester electric in the preseason with his quickness. Anybody else see that or am nutty than a fruitcake? Go Broncos!

  9. weareamr says:

    I for 1, am looking forward to a fully healthy team or at the very least “probable” and at 2-3, not bad for a team in its second year of transition. The turnover in the roster and the youth gaining experience is still exciting to watch and follow. The rookie contribution has been valuable and exciting too. I love me some Broncos. Get healthy!

    Go Broncos, Go McGenius!!!

  10. danso says:

    Tomorrow night at this time I’ll be on the 16st Mall drinking beer in a pub after flying out of Bronco Country (Boise State) to Bronco country in Denver. I am jacked about Sunday’s game and will do all I can to cheer us on to victory. Go TEAM Broncos!

  11. bronconasty says:

    The broncos should try hard to sign Shawn Merrimen when he gets released.. He hasnt been a factor in a while but his presence is still felt.. we need to bloster our LB core.. Just think about it, next year, we will have Dumervil and Merrimen at full strength, and will open things up for Dumervil.. We should also try to get Mankins to help our embarassing rushing attack..

  12. 07elway says:

    haha, that Orange kool-aid is good ain’t it!! I understand your frustration Big D… we’re all frustrated. Just don’t jump ahead to conclusions that may or may not happen. I wouldn’t put it past the Broncos to surprise the Jets and win this game. It’s a very realistic possibility.. run game or not. We’ve won 2 games without a solid run attack and that’s probably more than what our strongest critics thought we’d have. Give these young Broncos a chance to put up a fight and face all the adversity. I’m anxious to see our defense holds up with all the injuries. I expect and understand some mistakes, no one is perfect but I do however expect to see a very, very limited amount of penalties. I have finally gotten over our # of penalties last week for 90 yards. Young or experienced teams will make mistakes, that’s just a given. But I expect these young guns to really step up in the absence of our vets. This is their time to shine, take advantage of it!!

    imready – I’m in total agreement with you about Syd (I like to call him Squid, lol). He’s was a speeding bullet in preseason taking kick returns. I’d like to see him do both kick & punt returns. Kid can run and he’s very versatile. Sadly enough though, McD will most likely not listen to any of us. We’re just fans to him… what the heck do we know. lol You’re not crazy about that idea, more like right on the money. Why draft the kid if you’re not going to make him useful?? Poor thing is just warming up a bench just for fun. I like Royal taking returns but why jeopardize one of our very reliable receivers on returns when we have a guy like Squid? Don’t get it. So what if he’s a CB, kid can run and he’d give our special teams some life. What I really don’t get is why have him take returns in preseason and then make him sit all season? So confused!!! grrrrrrr

    Go get ‘em Broncos!! Put up a fight & get us a home win on Orange Sunday.

    Have some faith Broncos Country…
    GO BRONCOS in 2010!!!!!

  13. BeastFromEast92 says:

    I hope Bruton takes full advantage of his starting position this week and shows everybody what he’s got,it’s about time some of the Rookies that are healthy start earning their pay,btw…I think he will do a good job,but we will see.

    AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MCD,QUIT PUTTING OUR STARTING WRS ON PUNT AND KICK RETURNS,WE GOT VAUGHN,THOMPSON,AND COX!!!!!!
    ALL 3 ARE GREAT ON ST,THOMAS AND ROYAL AREN’T EXPENDABLE JUST BECAUSE LLOYD AND GAFFNEY ARE STEPPING UP.

    LAST DAY FOR SCORE PREDICTIONS, NO PICKS ON GAME DAY.

  15. oldsouthstander says:

    Why is evberybody hyped about getting Merriman. He hasn’t done squat since his major surgery several years ago. He’s playing, the few games that he does play, on one leg. He’s all reputation and no actual performance. Why do you think the Chargers draftred a LB with their 1st round draft pick the draft after Merriman’s injury? Hint! They knew that the chances of him ever truly recovering from his surgery were extremely slim. He’s not even an adequate backup.

  16. baylinorcrush says:

    Wanna see how we don’t get any respect, even at NFL.com, this is their poll for Sunday’s games:

    Which Week 6 game are you most looking forward to?
    Ravens at Patriots
    Falcons at Eagles
    Saints at Buccaneers
    Cowboys at Vikings
    Colts at Redskins
    Vote now

    I don’t know I think the Jets at Broncos is a pretty good game, but not on there! Won’t be on TV in my area either (Austin,Texas), CBS will be showing a movie or something instead because they don’t want to compete with the Dallas game on Fox at the same time, sad, sad, sad. Thank god for the always reliable sports bar!

  17. baylinorcrush says:

    Totally with you on Merriman oldsouthstander, not even worth a thought, however I hope the Broncos make a trade or two by Tuesday’s trading deadline, if there is one team in the league who needs help dealing with all its injuries, it would be us. Some bloggers just go by name recognition, they just know Merriman was once great so they run with it without thinking it through.

  18. BeastFromEast92 says:

    Baylin…if we do any trades I hope it’s like a fan poll or something,cause McD don’t know how to trade,we get screwed everytime he makes a trade.

  19. Orange_Crusher says:

    Merriman hasn’t been any good since he had to stop using roids… I think his muscles shriveled up…

  20. Orange_Crusher says:

    Well I guess since I dreamed it, that I better get my self down there and live it… haha,

    My 8yr old son and I will be at the game tomorrow… He’s got the Orange Doom and I got my Orange Tebow jersey to sport for Orange Sunday……

    I think some Super Fan support and this Orange Sunday Excitement is going to completely help rally our team to a win…!! I can’t wait to be surrounded in a SEA OF ORANGE!!!

    I BET WE ARE GONNA DO THE ORANGE WAVE!!!!!! YEAH!!

    I think that Mile High Magic is created by the FANS. Not the building, nor the coach, or the cheese or the bratwurst… Wine or beer is neither here nor there….

    MILE HIGH MAGIC COMES FROM WITHIN THE HARTS OF ALL BRONCO FANS, ESPECIALLY KIDS!!!!!!! So Lets get our kids involved and get out there and create some MAGIC!!!!

    We’re going do our part and scream our little bronco hearts out, and wave our Orange towels around, and believe in the dream to help our team….. We’re all jazzed up about it…!

    If only the Broncos could read this blog and make one more dream come true for me….. Please, oh please, Josh… MrB…. Sacco… somebody… Please…

    Play Tim Tebow for me….. come on, just let him get out on the field and do something….. I’m just a fan begging here…..

    dream a little orange dream for me…

    ILMSDB!

  21. baylinorcrush says:

    You two ROCK N’ ROLL for all of us who aren’t there. I did my part for the old Mile High Mystic in the original Mile High Stadium, now it’s up to the new generation to do the same with this new Invesco Field at Mile High, build us a new home field reputation we can be proud of once again, what we have now just isn’t cutting it. Start a new ORANGE MANIA, ROCK ON!!!

  22. Big D 44 says:

    LOL OC. You are one funny dude. All I care is about getting the Wins. I agree that Tebow should be used in certain situations. But I”m starting to think it is falling on deaf ears. Maybe McD is wating for division games to pull some tricks out from under his sleeves. Or maybe not. lol

  23. Big D 44 says:

    Mean’t waiting…. Doh

  24. strandoftds says:

    Ya, when Merriman got caught using the roids, he stopped producing. Plus he`s got one black mark against him. I don`t want him. He`s a winey, arrogant me first, all show crybaby.

  25. strandoftds says:

    I`ve only got one orange jersey. It`s #84. I`m gonna sport my Shannon Sharpe tomorrow for the game, accept I`ll be at a sports bar somewhere here in the Springs. COME ON ORANGE!!! LETS KICK SOME MAJOR ARSONAL!!!!! LOL

  26. denver0723 says:

    Merriman would be a joke. Expecting Merriman to produce on the field is like expecting Lindsay Lohan to get clean and be a respectable actress.

    Not only that, but Denver already has enough injury prone players on the roster. We are more of a rehab center than a football organization. We need healthy bodies. Not washed up injury prone pieces of Charger trash such as Merriman.

  27. WieminCA says:

    Does this thing work????

  28. WieminCA says:

    Yes it does … so – why did my first entry fall into the crapper????

  29. WieminCA says:

    With that out of the way, let me say – you people have a “new kid in town” to kick around … lots more later, just came in to say “Go Broncos on Sunday” …

    I’m a new “blogger” – actually “long time reader, first time writer” … coming to you from the home of the San Diego Chargers, those hated Chargers, almost as bad as those hated Raiders (my wife’s son is a die-hard Raiders fan [you should see his den - all the Raider crap on the tables and walls] … and, thankfully, he hasn’t bugged me for years) … I lived in Denver before there were the Broncos (used to play touch football in City Park on Sunday afternoons – boy, that was a LONG time ago), and have been a HUGE Bronco fan for as long as they’ve been in the league … and believe me, I’ve got a lot of opinions … I just don’t have time to get them all in here now …

    Won’t be able to watch the game on Sunday – I’ll be motoring to Phoenix to play in the Senior Softball World Championships – 70+ AAA Division … but – by the time I get to Phoenix, let’s have a BRONCO VICTORY!!!!!!!!!

    “See ya” next week …

  30. camharland says:

    I finally had a chance to sit and browse through the blogs from this week. Thanks for everyone’s insight. We have a SUPER tough game coming up, but, I think we will bounce back from last week and come out on top.
    Broncos-34 Jets-24
    GO BRONCOS!!!!!

  31. Broncos Born & Raised says:

    I’m definitely jealous OC, have fun tomorrow. Gotta agree with Baylin southlander, and company concerning Merriman.

    Man I wish it were tomorrow already. Despite all the dissapointment and the inevitable knee jerk negativity so far this season I always take comfort in knowing last week was last week and this week is a new challenge. Tomorrow’s challenge is very exciting. Tomorrow’s Orange Sunday and we get to go up against a team everyone is labeling as a superbowl contender right here at home. What could be better?

    Jim Mora was saying in order for a team to be successful they have to win at home, be .500 on the road and be at least .500 against the good teams. All five of this season’s games have been against good teams in my opinion and we’re 2-3. We’re 1-2 on the road and 1-1 at home. We can’t do anything about the road record right now but we have a chance to be 2-1 at home and 3-3 against the good teams – a step in the right direction without a doubt.

    It’s an unlikely scenario, but if we can get just a tiny spark in the running game, play penalty free, do what we know we can do in the passing game, and avoid giving up multiple chunk plays on defense, it starts to feel a little more likely. Especially when the Jets have to breath our Rocky Mountain air and tread our sea of orange. If we can pull this one off I think we have the momentum we need to dominate for the rest of the regular season. If we don’t, there’s a lot more football left to be played and I will approach the Raiders game with the same excitement and anticipation I do today. I love football season and I love me some Denver Broncos!

  32. killerkod says:

    I won’t be able to see the game…..won an all expenses paid VIP trip to a Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) concert. Front row seats here I come! Luckily I have PVR and will be isolating myself from the sports world until I get back and watch the game as if it were live.

    It’s gonna be a really tough game for us but as my earlier score prediction says, I think we make some Mile High Magic and take this one!

    And I’ll be wearing my vintage orange Elway jersey……You’re right 07elway……you can NEVER GO WRONG with a good old number 7 Broncos jersey!!!

  33. Broncos Born & Raised says:

    And Baylin, I can’t wait to be indoctrinated into the Orange Mania next week! I’m proud to have all of you as my fellow fans and I’m proud to be part of the legacy of this great franchise. GO BRONCOS!

  34. WieminCA says:

    And, oh yes – (sorry) Jets 27 – Broncos 17 …
    what can I say???

  35. baylinorcrush says:

    Don’t have to be sorry, this has nothing to do with what kind of a Bronco fan you are, just trying to win a contest, at least that’s my outlook, and so here we go: Broncos 20, Jets 30.

  36. gardenstatebroncofan says:

    Whats up everyone?…….If u listen to the NY/NJ sports media there not even giving this game a second look!! Ive been listening all week to catch something on the matchup lol nope its all Yankees….If u Listen to them…660 WFAN NY U would think the Jets And Giants had a bye this weekend!!!!!!!!…..LETS SHOW THEM THEY DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GET UR ORANGE ON!!!!!!!!!

    GO BRONCOS!!!! BRONCOS 17-14

  37. broncosmex says:

    Broncos 24-14.. x)

  38. Hometeam007 says:

    Baylin, Ok, a few hours left for a prediction… Broncos pull out the upset 30 to 27. I just want to see the defense come up with some turnovers. Kyle can manage this offense. I am not worried.

    OC, i will be at the game also, section 123. Close enough to let them know I am there. The team will feel the love and will play with heart. I am confident… or really hopefull anyway.

    Orange Crush them Jettsons!

  39. LKW 7 23 49 80 says:

    I really did feel pretty optimistic about this game… until I saw the final injury report. Five defenders, three starters, out? Plus we may or may not have our starting running game back in…

    Still, in our favor: the Jets would have to set a new NFL record for most consecutive games without a turnover to NOT turn it over to us at least once. They’re really due, and we’re due to get some, as well. And, watching the Jets on Monday, I saw a couple of weak points. (Ladanian NOT one of them… at least he’s out of our division, now.) Sanchez has talent and a strong arm, but he’s not polished yet; he still has accuracy problems, with some badly missed passes. And coach Ryan is blitz happy, to a fault – twice on 3rd and 17+, when commentator Jon Gruden said it would be a bad idea, Ryan sent blitzes – which resulted in Favre TD passes. We’ve certainly seen this year that Kyle has the arm to complete a long one when given the chance.

    (Also, their RT may be suceptible to speed rushes, though it may not be a large enough sample size to fairly say.)

    I’m worried about this contest, with all of our injuries; but, with the up and down season we’ve had so far, it’s “up week”‘s turn. If we can play to our potential and start to get healthy, maybe we can end this stupid losing to the Raiders at home streak and start to build an up trend. For this game – turnovers (maybe from players the Jets don’t have much tape on, like Thompson) help hold NYJ’s score down and set up an opportunity for us; Broncos pull it out, 24-20.

    By the way, whether I’ll be at home or at my sports bar (if the local station really decides that the New England game is more “local” to central New York state than the New York Jets?! – would be a change of policy, but what is listed right now), I’ll be rocking the old school orange of my #49 Dennis Smith jersey tomorrow for my part of Orange Sunday. From sea to sea, let’s show that Broncos spirit!

  40. Hometeam007 says:

    Yeh, well I guess any given Sunday as they say any team can win… so I suppose the Jets have a shot at beating our Broncos. I really dont see it though.. they are are pompous, over confident, big city thugs who are in need of a little orange crushing. LT thinks he has our number and I am sure he is telling his team mates that they can sleep through this game. Just they way we want it!!!

    Go Broncos!!

  41. Ikiratuki says:

    I really hope injuries won’t continue to happen later in the season. It seems we can’t keep all of our starters healthy for one game.

    14-13 Broncos

  42. baylinorcrush says:

    ORANGE SUNDAY IS HERE.

    THIS IS A GREAT DAY no matter how it turns out, sounds like a lot of you guys are going to be there, way to go, dress up yourselves and the town in orange, I will be doing my share wearing all my 80′s orange garb to the sports bar including a mint condition original Elway Starter jersey circa 1986.

    BTW, all picks are in, no picks on game day, best of luck to our Broncos and hopefully the 7 mullet heads who picked the Jets to win, including I, are dead wrong and the 27 who picked us to win have their crystal balls in working order.

    GO BRONCOS, FIGHT FOR 60 MINUTES, we are up for another street fight, just like last week, we need to have the thug mentality today, nice just won’t cut it against this team, get mean and ready, here comes Rex’s team.

  43. baylinorcrush says:

    Talking about Rex, this is what he said yesterday according to Klis, I just really like the guy, he is a straight shooter, won’t b.s. you about himself or anything else, just smash mouth football in your face all day, no wonder other team fans don’t like him, but I don’t care, I do, he is great for the sport:

    “I’m pretty proud of my family,” Ryan said. “When my dad (Buddy) punched (Kevin) Gilbride on the sideline, I thought I’d never get the chance to coach in the NFL. Because there is an assumption he’s going to be a loose cannon.”

    Read that? Name another NFL head coach who would go there with the “visiting” media on his weekly conference call. Ryan was referring to the 1993 season when his father — famed for perfecting the pressure-heavy “46″ defense — was the Houston Oilers’ defensive coordinator and Gilbride the offensive coordinator. Ryan, who hated how Gilbride’s run-and-shoot offense negatively affected his defense, threw a punch at his fellow assistant. On the sideline. In a nationally televised game.

    “Look, I’m no angel by any stretch of the imagination,” said Rex Ryan, whose twin brother, Rob, is the Cleveland Browns’ defensive coordinator. “But I know I’m a heck of a football coach. The one thing I can do is coach, and I’ve got a lot of limitations. I’m dyslexic, I’m all that kind of stuff. But I’ve been blessed to be able to do this. I inherited a lot of it.

    “I’m so proud of my dad and his accomplishments and all that, but I’m a different person. I’d be a lot tougher guy if I had grown up in the same situation that my dad did. My dad was 18 years old and he was a master sergeant in the Korean War. And luckily I never had to do anything like that.”

    Either way you slice it the guy’s candor is refreshing in this world of political correctness b.s., regardless of what anyone says the game of football was a lot more fun on the field, on the sidelines and in the stands back from the seventies through the nineties, last century actually, this century it is all becoming sort of bland, with all the non violence rules on the field and the strict no fun policies in the stand, all a by product of political correctness, coaches like Rex Ryan are a breath of fresh air, McD has a bit of that in him, unfortunately he hasn’t learned to channel it well yet, just all over the place type of thing. Anyway, progress isn’t always what it’s made out to be, I personally would love to be back at Mile High yelling profanities to Raider fans and kicking their tails on the football field with rules that allowed you to do exactly that. But this is what we have now and I’ll be glad to watch it at the sports bar in a way, where there is no security guy watching over my shoulder there, it’s in the middle of Texas, where rowdy is still part of this football watching experience. Nostalgia just took over me, and all that because of Rex, darn him, LOL.

  44. baylinorcrush says:

    Kizla’s take on the Bailey thing:

    Take this free advice for what it’s worth. Remove those replica jerseys for Carmelo Anthony and Bailey from your closet. Post ‘em on eBay, at a reasonable price. Say $12.95. Beat the rush.

  45. baylinorcrush says:

    And Kizla agrees with us about not using Tebow in certain situations:

    If the 32nd-ranked rushing team in the NFL can’t find a way to utilize Tebow as a ball carrier, then maybe the real problem is lack of imagination.

  46. baylinorcrush says:

    And this is how we are spending our days off at Dove Valley while the trade deadline looms, this according to Lindsay Jones:

    Safety Kyle McCarthy and outside linebacker Kevin Alexander were promoted off the practice squad. Running back Andre Brown and offensive tackle D’Anthony Batiste were released.

    Great our biggest back just got two carries up the middle for no gain in his Bronco career and got released….

    Woooo, Tomlinson is taking dibs at ex teammate Jamal Williams:

    “I’m pretty sure he’s looking forward to trying to tackle me, and I look forward to trying to make his big butt miss.”

    Baylin…I have to respectfully disagree with you on Rex Ryan,he’s an ass in my book,don’t like anyone that goes around tooting his own horn.

    As far as Champ goes,if we don’t resign him we better draft a CB next year,cause I don’t think we have another one that can even come close.
