Home From San Francisco, Now We’re Off to Dallas

August 14th, 2007 - 11:24am by domonique_foxworthOther posts by

First, I just want to acknowledge the soldiers that have responded to the blog and let them know that our prayers are with them and we all appreciate what they are doing in all parts of the world.

It’s pretty cool to have the blog and the Internet. I guess I kind of make myself sound old, but I’m still amazed by the Internet sometimes and the fact that people can check out my blog from places like Japan and then respond to it. But anyway, just wanted to let them know that I read their responses and I appreciate their support and definitely know that we’re behind them.

Right now it’s probably going to be a rocky blog because I’m extremely tired. We had quite a last couple hours. We played the game in San Francisco and were able to win, which is always good, and did some promising things, and we left from there to the airport and got back to Denver at about 1:30, and I got back to my house around 2:30.

Then I unpacked my suitcase and repacked it for the next day’s trip, and now I’m here doing the blog at about 9-ish, because we have meetings coming up at 11, and from there we’re going to head to Dallas for a week and play them this coming Saturday.

OTA Day 3: Images and Morning Notes

May 18th, 2007 - 11:21am by AndrewOther posts by

OTA Day 3

A gorgeous, sun-kissed Friday morning greeted the Broncos as they began their final day of organized team activities for the week. They’ll go through four such sessions from Monday through Thursday next week before a four-day Memorial Day weekend respite.

Some quick morning observations from the 10 minutes of warmups and stretching I could watch:

… D.J. Williams brought rookie offensive tackle Ryan Harris in front of his teammates to lead the pre-stretching breakdown. Harris jogged up as some players yelled “Babyface!” but soon left with groans and one Bronco — whom I couldn’t identify by voice — yelling “Stone him!” after a short jig that was quickly deemed lackluster by his new teammates …

Season Review: George Foster

February 15th, 2007 - 1:50am by AndrewOther posts by

George FosterGeorge Foster’s season was not exactly one he’d want to put on the mantle.

While the right tackle began and ended the regular season as the starter at his position, he found himself in backup duty just past the midway point of the campaign, with training-camp signee Adam Meadows starting the November games against the Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs.

In the Raiders and Chargers games, Foster played only on special teams. A hamstring injury on Thanksgiving put Foster back at his old slot, and he remained there for the remainder of the season, even after Meadows returned to the active roster for Weeks 16 and 17.

When Head Coach Mike Shanahan was asked to assess the team’s situation at right tackle earlier this month, he spoke not specifically of Foster, but of the scrum for playing time that awaits.

“We’ve got some depth there. We’ve got some competition,” Shanahan said. “Who is going to play what position, you never know. With Erik (Pears) playing some this year (at left tackle), Adam Meadows playing. With Matt (Lepsis) going down and (Chris) Kuper coming on and playing (he played against Arizona), we’ve got more depth than we have had. We’ll have some great competition there.

“If the guy starts the year before, he’s going to start this year or we’re going to give him every opportunity to win that job back, but there’s competition and that’s what makes this world go around.”

FINAL ANALYSIS: The three games in which he came off the bench represented his only non-starts since 2003, when he played in just one game as a rookie.

Broncos-Seahawks: Pregame Notes and Inactives

December 3rd, 2006 - 5:13pm by AndrewOther posts by

The sun has gone to bed, and the teams are beginning to trickle through the tunnels at the south end of the stadium for pre-game warmups.

Two of the Broncos’ starting offensive 11 from last week will not play tonight, as both Adam Neadows and Chad Mustard were placed among the eight inactive players. George Foster will take over for Meadows at right tackle, returning to the starting lineup for the first time since Week 9.

Other news from the pre-game roster moves:

  • Tatum Bell and Mike Bell will be the Broncos’ two tailbacks, with Cecil Sapp serving as the de facto third stringer. Both Damien Nash and Cedric Cobbs were scratched from tonight’s lineup.
  • Offensive lineman Chris Kuper is active for the first time in his career.
  • Denver’s other inactives include wide receiver/kickoff returner Quincy Morgan, linebacker Nate Webster and defensive linemen Kenny Peterson and Antwon Burton.
  • Rookie tight end Tony Scheffler is back on the 45-man roster after sitting out the last three games.
  • Seattle will start Tom Ashworth for Sean Locklear at right tackle. Locklear, however, is still active.
  • The Seahawks deactivated wide reciever Bobby Engram, linebacker D.D. Lewis, offensive linemen Robbie Tobeck and Ray Willis, defensive end Robert Pollard, tight end Itula Mili and quarterbacks Gibran Hamdan and David Greene. Greene will still be in uniform, though, as their emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Broncos-Colts Pregame Notes: Warren, Kuper, Morgan Inactive

October 29th, 2006 - 1:09pm by AndrewOther posts by

Lots of news as the inactives are passed out:

  • Cross Chris Kuper off the list of possibilities on the offensive line today; he is once again inactive. Meanwhile, tackle Adam Meadows — signed in the preseason to bolster depth at the position — is among the 45 active players for the first time this season. Erik Pears, last week’s left-tackle fill-in, is also active.
  • No Bob Sanders for Indy; he’s out. Former Michigan standout Marlin Jackson will shift over from cornerback to take his place. Dylan Gandy will also replace Ryan Lilja at left guard for the Colts.
  • Defensive tackle Gerard Warren will not play, one week after spraining his right big toe at Cleveland. He practiced Friday, but ultimately the Broncos opted to hold him out. Demetrin Veal played in his place last week and also handled those duties in the preseason when Warren dislocated his left big toe.
  • Kickoff returner Quincy Morgan is inactive after handling those duties for the past four games. Meanwhile, rookie Brian Clark — promoted from the practice squad six days ago — is among the active players. Clark was the Broncos’ leading kickoff returner in the preseason.
  • Denver’s other inactive players include wide receiver Todd Devoe, safety Hamza Abdullah, linebacker Nate Webster and tight end Nate Jackson.
  • The Broncos are back to their usual home uniforms — blue jerseys with white pants, last seen during the 9-6 win over Kansas City on Sept. 17.
