Rodgers Takes Over as Defensive Line Coach

May 14th, 2012 - 3:02pm by Gray Caldwell

With Wayne Nunnely retiring, Jay Rodgers — who spent the past three seasons as a defensive assistant with the club, including working primarily with Nunnely and the defensive line in 2011 — now takes over as the club’s defensive line coach.

“I’m excited for this opportunity,” Rodgers said. “I am extremely grateful to Coach Nunnely for all I’ve learned from him over the past three seasons.”

Rodgers is in his fourth season with the club after working nine seasons at the collegiate level.

“The defensive line will be in good hands with Jay Rodgers, whom I’ve worked with very closely for the last three years,” Nunnely said. “He is very deserving of this opportunity, which he has earned through his hard work and knowledge. Jay has many great qualities as a person and coach that will make him successful in his new role.”

Head Coach John Fox said he has no doubt that Rodgers’ time with Nunnely “has prepared him for this opportunity that he has earned,” and defensive end Elvis Dumervil agreed.

“He’s a young, bright coach,” Dumervil said of Rodgers. “He knows a lot — he’s been around. I think he’s extremely smart. He’s learned a lot from Coach Nunnely as well and I think his future is bright. It was very fortunate to be able to have Coach Rodgers on staff and get him in. But, also sad to have Coach Nunnely retire.”

The Broncos will be back on the practice field this coming Monday for OTAs.

    Skillz I hate the Celtics but if they can get past the Sixers they will have a hard time with the Heat but I think a Celt/Heat East Finals would go game 7 to the final seconds with DWade hitting a three to win by 1.

  3. BeastFromEast92 says:

    I hate the Celtics with a passion,used to watch the old Laker/Celtic matchups they were some great series tho!

  4. BeastFromEast92 says:

    LOL@SWB

  5. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Found out a fun fact today though.

    MJ played in 173 playoff games. Kobes game tonight makes it 216.

  6. skillz_inc says:

    ^^^^^^^^ Hater ;)

  7. BeastFromEast92 says:

    Yep I heard that too AB!
    but MJ has more wins like over 100 KB has like 82?

  8. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Ill bet somebody takes that fact wrong and says im saying Kobe is better than MJ. Which im not! I knew Kobe had more playoff games over MJ I just was a little shocked to see that it was 43 more games.

  9. sndvl says:

    No, I thought there were 17 AB. Lmao…16. I stand corrected. Doesn’t matter I suppose, it’s still a dumb trick question…. and both answers are right & wrong

  10. BeastFromEast92 says:

    and counting,KB still has a ways to go before he retires.

  11. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Also MJ only played 15 season. Kobe is finishing his 16 and has at least 3 more IMO. So that is to be taken into account.

  12. BeastFromEast92 says:

    sndvl,you get that 3 beer bong bro?..lol.

  13. BeastFromEast92 says:

    MJ played baseball for 2 years.

  14. sndvl says:

    Lol, I wish BFE…I wish.

  15. BeastFromEast92 says:

    Kobe came right outta HS at 18 years old,so he has an advantage.
    You know who the scoring leaders of all time are and how many they have?
    I hate to look it up,lol.

  16. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Yea BFE. Lol. I like MJ hes a Tar Heel!!!!

  17. BeastFromEast92 says:

    Alright guys it’s past 12:00 AM in the East,catch yall tomorrow.

    peace out

    BFE

  18. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Peace out BFE.

  19. MarshMelo15 says:

    ab… That math problem you put up sure stirred the pot!!! How in the world can people say both answers are right and wrong??!!!

    There is only ONE correct answer, everything else is wrong!!!

    The CORRECT answer is 13!!!!

    People need to learn how to do math!! LOL

  20. MarshMelo15 says:

    PEMDAS!!!!

  21. skillz_inc says:

    Hey i am those people u are talking about ;)

  22. skillz_inc says:

    I am the blog idiot :(

  23. MarshMelo15 says:

    Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction!!!! That is the ORDER OF OPERATIONS people!!! LOL

  24. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Melo both are right and wrong. Ill explain why.

    It all depends on how you look at it.

    If you just go left to right 0 is correct.

    BUT

    From Mathematical principals 13 is the correct and only answer and the only answer that would be acceptable in a math class because of PEDMAS.

    I will say I did NOT expect that to stir the pot as much as it did.

  25. MarshMelo15 says:

    LOL… Skillz…. Its not just you, and it’s nothing personal

  26. alaskanbronco06 says:

    LMAO Skillz your not an idiot. My brother in CO who is an accountant to put himself through school to be a math teacher even said 0. LOL But when I reminded him PEDMAS he realized his mistake.

  27. MarshMelo15 says:

    If you just go left to right then you are not doing MATH…. That’s called READING!!! LOL

  28. FTR says:

    Broncos Country:
    ILMSDB!!!! Lot’s of good stuff going on that we will not see until we hit the field. I will tell you all I see us as holding the AFC West crown!!!! It’s ours for the taking! We will win the AFC!!! We won the SB as a wild card! But we will not need to this year. My glass is not half full it’s got a nice foam on top of freshly filled Bud Light!! Ice Cold and dripping. I toast all that agree!
    GOING ALL THE WAY!!
    FTR

  29. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Melo I think Kobe showed tonight why hes better than MJ…… LMAO NOT!!!! He showed why MJ is still better than him! LMAO

  30. MarshMelo15 says:

    I just find it crazy that such a high number of people get that wrong.. I have seen that same equation of Facebook and more people get it wrong then right….

  31. MarshMelo15 says:

    LOL… ab… Not this again.. I actually did not see the game tonight so I can’t put my two cents in on that one

  32. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Melo same here.

    I was actually saying why MJ is still better than Kobe. He was horrible. The Lakers as a team sucked.

  33. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Same here about that equation.

  34. mainBroncos60 says:

    Some of us hate math, and couldn’t solve that problem under penelity of death. LOL

    1. If a plane sits on a conveyer belt whose speed matches that of the plane in the opposite direction, can the plane take off?

    2. What letter comes next in the sequence O T T F F S S?

    3. What is special about the following sequence of numbers? 8 5 4 9 1 7 6 10 3 2 0

    4. In a small cabin in the woods, two men lay dead. The cabin itself is not burned, but the forest all around is burned to cinders. How did the men die?

    5. A boat has a ladder that has six rungs. Each rung is one foot apart. The bottom rung is one foot from the water. The tide rises at 12 inches every 15 minutes. High tide peaks in one hour. When the tide is at its highest, how many rungs are under water?

    And the final question…..

    What NFL team is the best sports team in the world?

    Enjoy folks.
