Mike McCoy said earlier this offseason that he wants the offense to get back to its bruising roots — pounding the ball with the ground game.
But that’s not to say he’s not excited about the explosive options the team has in the passing game — particularly the two new tight ends the club picked up through the draft.
“These were two players that were very explosive — there are some things we want to do in the passing game with them,” McCoy told Broncos TV. “Julius (Thomas) obviously doesn’t have a whole lot of experience playing football, so there’s going to be a little bit of a learning curve for him. We’ll gradually work him into things and kind of find out what he can do. Then Virgil (Green) made a lot of plays up there in Nevada. Those are two explosive players that we’re looking forward to working with and kind of just molding them into our system. Gradually work them in, give them as much as they can handle and then as they pick up things, the more we’ll give them.”
Two players who didn’t have the luxury of gradually easing into the NFL are Zane Beadles and J.D. Walton, who started on the offensive line right away.
McCoy said he was impressed with their performances last season, and they’re only going to get better.
“You saw that last year — each week they got better and better as time went on,” he said. “Every game you play, you’re going to be that much better. They did a heck of a job for us last year, stepping into a tough situation as rookies, just jumping in there and playing right away.”
With the young talent the club has acquired in addition to talented veterans like Brandon Lloyd, Eddie Royal and Jabar Gaffney, McCoy said he expects “a fun, exciting offense for us” in 2011.

Just kidding bro. all in fun, I didn`t mean to steal your idea. LMAO!!
God help ya. LOL!
Balls to the wall!!!!!!!!!!
I’d trade orton for a ST player as long as we free up some cap money,lol.
Hell Ya!!
How you doing my Bronco bro?
I just ran the neighbors to bed for blasting some jam,last night…it’s my turn tonight ByGod..them MF’ers blast that tear jerking music all week long,but on the weekend I drown their arses out with some good ole Rock-n-Roll…LMAO!!!!
I’m doing fine…how bout you bro???
Throw on some ACCEPT!!!! That`ll blast them away!
Many good things happening. I`m blessed.
I been Balls to the Wall since 6:00 Eastern time buddy…like 6 and a half hours ago..lol.
Shoot…put’em to bed with some 80s rock..you know…Billy Idol,etc…etc…
I`ve been out at a sports bar watching a Rockies baseball game. We won. LOL
Good man!
Tod Helton was a huge Tenn college player,been following him ever since,he’s getting older tho,but still love the Rockies,glad they won!!!
Heck ya, Todd back up ole Peyton Manning.
All this CBA mumbo jumbo is driving me insane bro…..I don’t understand all the laws and contract limbo,I just wanna see some Damn football!!!
Actually Todd Helton was a Helluva QB at Tenn!!!!!
Me too…… It`ll happen bro. Hang in there my friend. ORANGE AND BLUE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mebane????????????
We have a lot of FA RBs to choose from,but DT is going to be tight this year!!!
I heard about Todd being a great QB there. But I didn`t know about it until many years after he was playing for the Rockies. Way cool.
BFE, I heard on a Denver station todat that Justin Bannan is not angry at the Bronco`s at all and is not counting out re-signing with them. Inside info bro.
Yeah Helton was a great QB..guess that’s why he is such a great athlete!!
remember Elway was drafted as a Major League pitcher(I forget which team) but chose the NFL instead,great choice for us,lol.
Seriously, I also heard that we might go after Cofield. I heard this on a Denver Radio station. I don`t know what to make of it just yet.
The Yankees dude.
Well Bay keeps telling me there’s no chance on signing Bannan,but I still want him,at a lower salary of course.I think Doom-Vickerson-Bannan-Ayers would be a pretty good starting Dline,but I still think we need a solid DT.
I would settle for Mebane or Cofield..either would be a great choice for our depleted Dline.
This was on Alfred Williams talk show. He`s on every week day in the late afternoons.
I think it’s time to splurge a little dough on the Dline.not like McD gave it away,but I mean a great DT,we need!!!
I’d love for Bannan to resign!
Alfred Williams was a freak,and I loved watching him play…Helluva guy!!!
It`s a talk show though. They have some inside scoops. With Bannon they said that they speak to him regularly and there`s no indication that he`s angry with the Bronco`s organization at all.
They are talking as if matter of fact that Bannan would come back at a lesser salary.
I don’t know about you dude,but I have a lot of faith in our coaches and players this year,even tho Tebow is predicted to flop,I see visions of the Broncos rising outta the ashes and climbing that long ladder back to the top of the heap!!!
Bannan would be a Beast at DT,IMO…especially rotating with a few other guys,to keep fresh…
I`m with you on that big buddy. Thats a big ten four.
Dude, it`s July. Football is just a short time away.
Sndvl. from what I heard today, it can very well happen.
Alright dude ….
Doom/Vickerson/Bannan-Mebane/Ayers..Dline
with DJ/Irving/Miller…LBs
and Moore/Champ/Goody/Carter…DBs
Alfred and his colleague don`t talk out of their ARSE!! There very professional. And Alfred is still hilarious. LOL
OK coach BFE, line em up at the whistle.
Alfred Williams is one of my favorite Broncos of all time,even tho he wasn’t with us for very long..the guy is hilarious!!!!!!!!!
Alfred resides in Denver.
I just wanna see some new blood in our new Defense right away…I think Miller,Irving,Moore,and Carter can contribute right away..and if we get Mebane….he can put a complete STOP to running on us up the gut!!!!!!
Alfred knows he is loved in Denver,he done a lot for us on the field!!!
Like you said, Mebane for Orton.
Alright dude…..people will be taking about the BFE/strand Friday Night show,lol.
What you just said is a under-statement. Alfred is loved by all in Denver. Amen to that.
But atleast we`re sticking to the NFL topics. HaHa!!!
