Finishing with Sevens

October 7th, 2011 - 10:29am by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

After becoming the first player in team history to lead the NFL in receiving yards last season, wide receiver Brandon Lloyd turned in his first 100-yard game of 2011 last Sunday in Green Bay. Lloyd finished with eight catches for 136 yards. His eight catches were the second-most in his nine-year career while the 136 yards ranked fourth.

“(Lloyd) did a nice job, and (QB) Kyle (Orton) had some nice throws to him,” Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy said on Thursday. “Brandon was flying off the football. That’s the guy we love to see.”

Lloyd, who had been limited by a groin injury that kept him out of Denver’s Week 2 game against Cincinnati, credited having a full week of practice as helping spur the big performance.

Lloyd and the Spectacular Catch

August 25th, 2011 - 4:30pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

One of the Broncos’ Pro Bowlers from last season is in line to get a little love in Madden ’12.

This week, fans can vote for what is being dubbed “Club 100” in the newest iteration of the popular NFL video game. One player will be given a 100 rating in five categories — throw accuracy, elusiveness, hit power, spectacular catch and speed.

Today, voting opens for the Spectacular Catch category, and Brandon Lloyd is one of the candidates.

He’s up against Dez Bryant, Braylon Edwards, Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson — so there’s some good competition.

If you’re not sure Lloyd deserves your vote, here are a few reminders of what the league’s leading receiver from 2010 can do:

Coach Lloyd

February 7th, 2011 - 11:02am by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

On Saturday, a day before Super Bowl XLV, Brandon Lloyd was prepared to coach in the fourth annual Pop Warner Adrenalyn Bowl.

NFL Draft prospect Ryan Mallett, a quarterback from the University of Arkansas, was the other coach as the Arlington Thunder and the Mid-Cities Giants — both featuring players ages 9-11 — were set to square off.

But the weather in the Dallas area prevented the game from happening, and the teams headed inside for a skills and drills competition instead.

Lloyd kept the fun going as the Pro Bowler helped lead the kids through a variety of activities. Below are some of the participants. From left to right: Pop Warner National Football Commissioner Sam Mutz, Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb, Mallett, former TCU quarterback and NFL Draft prospect Andy Dalton, Lloyd, Pop Warner Executive Director Jon Butler and Pop Warner Recruiting and Marketing Coordinator Trevor Scholl.

Vote for Lloyd

Brandon Lloyd

After a season in which he became the first Bronco to lead the league in receiving yards and earned his first Pro Bowl selection, Brandon Lloyd has a chance to add to his list of accolades — with help from fans.

The wide receiver is one of five finalists for the fourth-annual Vizio Top Value Performer award. Fans can vote for Lloyd through midnight on Sunday.

Lloyd enjoyed a breakout season in 2010, finishing with 77 catches for 1,448 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also led the NFL by averaging 18.8 yards per catch. Those totals were all career single-season bests for the eight-year veteran.

What They’re Saying

January 5th, 2011 - 10:10am by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

With the news that John Elway will join the Broncos front office as executive vice president of football operations, we thought we’d compile some recent quotes on the move. All of the quotes came before Elway officially assumed his new position.

Champ Bailey:
“Obviously he doesn’t have a track record of being involved, but for what he means to Denver, great move. I think his presence will definitely rub off on a lot of people, and this program definitely benefits from that. I’ve looked up to him since I’ve been here. He’s the man, he’s always going to be the man. I hope he can do some good things for us.”

“He’s effective. His voice, his presence, that’s all you need — somebody to be positively effective in this locker room. If you can find anybody like that, John Elway might be the guy.”

“I think when you talk about (John) Elway and then (Broncos Owner and CEO) Mr. (Pat) Bowlen and (Team President) Mr. (Joe) Ellis and those guys upstairs — they are going to do what is right. … I think with Mr. Bowlen, Mr. Ellis and Elway running this team, everything will be fine.”

Tale of the Tape

December 29th, 2010 - 3:47pm by Gabe HiattOther posts by

Tim Tebow attracts a crowd wherever he goes.

Whether he’s in Arizona — where the away crowd chanted his name even though he spent the game on the sidelines holding a clipboard — or at INVESCO Field at Mile High, you can bet the eyes of thousands are trained on the rookie quarterback.

With two NFL starts under his belt, Tebow will have another group of observers leading up to this weekend’s home game against the Chargers. San Diego’s coaching staff will devote a fair share of their week dissecting game tape of Tebow as they develop their game plan.

“I think we have an advantage over what Houston had,” Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner said in a Wednesday conference call.

That Winning Feeling

December 28th, 2010 - 10:05am by mike_riceOther posts by

I don’t care how it happened, against whom it happened or any of the circumstances around the fact that it happened.

I am simply glad the Broncos experienced that winning feeling again.

After five straight losses and nine losses in the ten previous games, the Broncos just needed to win a game. And they did. Let me take a moment to exhale.

Ahhhhh. Nice. It’s good to remember what a Broncos’ win feels like. I had nearly forgotten what a Broncos win felt like, even if at least some of the players had not.
