Elway: ‘Pedal to the Metal’

October 23rd, 2012 - 11:02am by Sam DavisOther posts by

There were plenty of positives for the Denver Broncos in their Week 6 comeback win at San Diego, and Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway hit on most of them in this week’s episode of Elway Access, hosted by Broncos TV’s Chris Hall.

Coming out of halftime facing a 24-0 deficit, the Broncos marched 85 yards down the field in eight plays, as quarterback Peyton Manning finished the drive with a 29-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.

That drive, followed by cornerback Tony Carter’s 65-yard scoop-and-score off a fumble, were the two biggest factors in shifting the momentum in Denver’s favor, according to Elway.

They Come In Bunches

October 21st, 2012 - 11:28am by Sam DavisOther posts by

Two weeks into the regular season, defensive end Elvis Dumervil had yet to record a sack. He was questioned all week about it, and repeated the same message every time.

“When it comes, it comes in bunches,” he said.

Dumervil went on to record five sacks in the next four games.

Following a season-high six takeaways against San Diego, the Denver defense believes that turnovers come in bunches as well, and that Monday night was only the beginning.

Big Win Before the Break

October 18th, 2012 - 3:09pm by Von MillerOther posts by

It felt great to get a big win on Monday Night Football against the Chargers. We knew the type of team we were going into this game. We had games like this before but we weren’t able to pull it off. We’re thankful we were able to pull it off this week.

The win was big, especially because we can relax our minds and just take a break, not completely from football but just rest, get away for a little bit and come back well energized and ready to go against the Saints

It’s always good to see Denver Broncos on top of the division. We just have to keep on grinding. It’s a long season. Hopefully we can hold it upand get it done.

With the bye week break, I’m going back to College Station for the Texas A&M game. I hope I can see a monumental win for my school, and our fans against LSU.

Gig em!

Time to Mentally Recharge

October 17th, 2012 - 3:30pm by Eric DeckerOther posts by

The bye week’s here — time for a little R and R. Get away. Refresh. Relax. Recover. Just kind of mentally recharge the batteries.

It’s definitely better heading into the bye with a good taste after Sunday’s win. Especially with where we’re at in the season. It was a divisional game. To win the game like we did, I think it was big for momentum.

I know a lot of you will want to hear about me falling — I’ll just tell you this. After I tripped and embarrassed myself in the first half, I figured there was no way they were going to stop me from getting into the end zone in the second half. I had that determination, but Stokley and DT had some incredible blocks on that play.

When we start coming back at the end of the weekend, we’ll start focusing on the Saints. But when you get some free time, you’ve got to take advantage of it and just relax.

Catch you guys next week.

Congratulations to strandoftds82 and Dbroncos82, as both predicted a score of 34-24 — just one point off from the actual score of the Broncos-Chargers Monday Night Football contest, 35-24.

In second place were DenverCB and still1972, as both were a total of four points off from the actual score with predictions of 34-21 and 34-27, respectively.

Rounding out third place were three bloggers — footballMANIAC, BroncoBoogie and OrangeTsunami with guesses of 34-20, 31-23 and 34-20, respectively. All three were five points off from the actual final score.

Ready for the Long Stretch

October 21st, 2011 - 11:33am by Rahim MooreOther posts by

I planned on going back to my high school over the bye, and I sure did go back and worked out. I actually had like a little high school practice — much slower than the NFL. Nah, but I went in and talked to the kids, shared some of my experiences and what I’m going through. I told them that if I can be here, they can be here. Always good to give back.

It also brought back memories. It brings me flashbacks to how hard I worked to get here. I did a lot of thinking over the break. It helped.

After the bye, we’ve basically got a college season coming up. I used the bye to help get ready for this stretch. It’s tough and it’s something I’ve never been a part of. The thing I have to do is just continue to take care of myself and continue to pray and take care of my body. Just keep working. Keep lifting.

Ready for Work

October 20th, 2011 - 6:19pm by Willis McGaheeOther posts by

I told you all I was just going to head home for the bye week, and that’s exactly what I did. Hanging with the family. That’s all I did, really.

Now I’m back and ready to get to work. Looking forward to this weekend. It’s always good to go back to Miami, but I’m looking at it as we need to go in there and take care of business team-wise. It’s not about what I’m looking forward to, it’s about what we need to go in there and do.

We’ve been hard at work preparing for the Dolphins, and tonight I’m just going to be chilling. Relaxing for my birthday. That’s about it.

I’m just ready for this Sunday.

Winning After the Bye

October 20th, 2011 - 4:52pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Much of the talk this week has revolved around a certain quarterback stepping in under center.

But the real focus on the Broncos locker room is simple — get a win.

The last time Denver took the field, it left San Diego with a 29-24 loss after nearly fighting back for a win.

That sour taste sat in the players’ mouths for an extra week, as the club was off last Sunday for its bye week.

“You’re sitting on that loss the whole time, festering to get back on the field,” Brian Dawkins said. “Once you get back out there you, want to make sure your best foot is being put forward. I think that’s the biggest thing, especially when the bye week comes after a loss.”

Success After the Bye

October 18th, 2011 - 12:21pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

Fresh off the bye week, the Broncos travel to South Florida this weekend to take on the Miami Dolphins.

Historically, Denver has fared well after the bye week with a 16-6 (.727) all-time record, which ranks third among all NFL teams since the league instituted the bye week in 1990.

Head Coach John Fox is 6-3 in his career following the bye, including a current three-game win streak.

Last season, Denver came off the bye week and beat Kansas City 49-29 in Denver.

Relaxing With My Mind on Football

October 12th, 2011 - 4:34pm by Rahim MooreOther posts by

I want to say to the fans, I love you, and I’m headed home to see my family and all my boys.

You can tell I’m excited.

I’m just going to go home and spend some time with the family, just chill out and see my little cousins and everybody. It will be nice to get some down time, but also think about how I can improve and finish strong the rest of the season.
