With Denver’s season opener vs. Pittsburgh appearing in primetime on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, Tony Dungy visited the Broncos on Monday.
Dungy, the former head coach of Indianapolis, is a studio host for Football Night in America, which precedes the Sunday Night Football game each week on NBC.
After practice, Dungy visited with some of his former players who are now Broncos — quarterback Peyton Manning, wide receiver Brandon Stokley and tight end Jacob Tamme.
Stokley, who played under Dungy in Indianapolis for four seasons, said he enjoyed catching up with his former coach.
“It’s great to see Coach Dungy,” Stokley said. “He’s a special person, and not just a great coach but a great person. He meant a lot to me and to my family. It’s always great to see him.”
Linebacker Wesley Woodyard said he appreciated getting to meet someone that he’s looked up to for a long time.
“He’s one of my biggest role models,” Woodyard said. “I read his books, just the things that he’s been through and to continue to stand strong in his faith, that shows a lot about what kind of person he is.”
Head Coach John Fox went over to say hello to Dungy on the field after practice as well.
“It’s just always good to see old friends,” Fox said. “I’ve known Tony for a long time. I followed him, really, into Pittsburgh way back in the 80s so from the standpoint as a colleague, somebody you have respect for, it’s always nice to have those guys around.”

It refers to the last comment you just made, rather vile to see the black hole that is. I just gave ya a little hint of the story. LOL
Oh I can hardly wait!!!!!!
***Score Prediction***
Broncos 35
Steelers 21
It refers to my mother who knows nothing of football and saw the creatures from the black hole and my ma is an evangelist. So that gives you an idea.
I am happy to see Moreno earn number 2. I would love to see him have a big year and he can if he stays healthy!
LOL! Awesome!
Scalp I love your predicition! Does Manning throw for over 300 yards? Kill two birds with one stone. 400 TD pass 64th 300 yard game. No biggie!
Scalp, their giving Moreno every opportunity to get it right.
I sure hope so! I hope that Decker gets 400!
Hows it going scalp, how ya doing bro?
It would be nice. Not going to lie! LOL

Alright, I`m going to go write a letter. I be back in awhile.

That interview with Dungy is a good watch. I cant believe this is all going down this coming Sunday!!! Its also my little girls 3rd bday party that day so it will be even better
Im the new blogkiller! lol sorry guys I wasnt ignoring you jus got into a couple videos.
I`m ready Scalp. Time for some live ball!
Yes sir! I like how the depth chart looks, My dream game: the first quarter against san fran times 4 haha
No its ok! I was eating and grading papers. I’m also had to watch Brady get that safety cuz they’re replaying the SB
*swoon* awful decision! LOL I knew it was over!
See! Scalp I love it! I am so nervous but so excited! Did y’all see that Drayton Florence is going to START for the Lions? He couldn’t even make our 53!
OK Cat, I sent it. LOL
Wow! Really?
I’m gonna go read it!
Yes!!!!! I am not lying about Florence. Holy crap. Our defense is amazing.
Be scared of the Orange Crush rest of the NFL.. they are coming for you! LOL Best defense Peyton has played with, bar none!
Glad about your pal Ticat06. So neat to hear!
Vegas odds are Broncos 10-1, 3rd best in the NFL behind N.E. and G.B. Its about time we get some respect!
I knew you`d enjoy that. It was classic! LOL
It was hilarious! But no joke… the NFL is scared of Peyton Manning when they really need to be scared of our defense.
We are going to be up by 17 to 21 points in some games at home thats for sure. Put em away by half time. LOL
WOLFE PACK!!
I’m good with that but Id still like a few come from behind wins. I’m picky! LOL
ORANGE WOLFE PACK!!
Well, as we know, nothing comes easy. LOL! Its alright to be picky.
Where in the heck has Daddy been? You out there DaddyBronco?
He has not posted since the Seahawk game.
Hey Bronco Maniacs!!
I’m wondering how just about everyone has the Steelers scoring alot of points on the Orange Crush. If we are going to be a top ten defense the Steelers maybe get 13 points.
Yes, I can throw the Big Bomb, and sing me out a New Song, in humble pouring rains. I will surely wrestle with LB`s and Sack-Masters when a sure get my neck. LOL
One TD sounds good to me! HaHa!!
Hey Strand and Cat hope all is well.
Strand how is the aftermath of the fires over there?
I have the Steelers scoring 2 TD`s and 2 FG`s. Thats a win for us. LOL
Better at my place. Not so good for the lost homes in Mountain Shadows. They are just now starting the clean up process in that area.
Horse I had them scoring 14 and us 28… I know what you mean tho. But I have no idea what to really expect unless we can beat the Steelers like we were beating the 49ers. But what Broncos are going to show up? Id love the Broncos who didn’t let the Bears get past the 50 yard line til the 4th quarter.
Did you get any flooding over the summer?
I have us losing next weld so y’all are going to be mad at me when I post that predicition.
Heck, I`d like to see a shut out. That would be ideal. Then the rest of the NFL will really be afraid of us.
*week
We haven’t had a shut out in awhile… since we shut the Jets out a few years ago.
Hardly any rain at my place. A very dry summer indeed.
I think it will be fun to watch our Dline put pressure on Rottburger and see him throw….three interceptions.
I just now looked this up. The Denver Broncos have not been shut out in 234 consecutive games. Thats alot. Second best in the NFL right now. AWESOME!!
Niiiice. I want Von to get a few sacks too and Doom and Wolfe need one too!
