December 14th, 2008 - 12:42pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

15:00: The Panthers will get the ball to start the second half kick. Back deep is Mark Jones to receive Matt Prater’s kick. Jones gets back to the 20, before he is hit hard by Mario Haggan.

14:50: DeAngelo Williams starts the Panthers out with a 10-yard run picking up a first down.

13:54: Jake Delhomme looks for Steve Smith on a screen but Dre’ Bly has him covered, but Delhomme throws it up and Smith grabs it before being rocked by Josh Barrett. Nontheless, first down. And on the very next play, Williams blows through the line and into the open field. 56-yards later, he is in the endzone. Kasey is good and the Panthers are now up by 17.

Panthers 27 – Broncos 10; 12:49 remaining.

Broncos vs. Panthers: Second Quarter Notes

December 14th, 2008 - 12:42pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

15:00: To start the second quarter, the Broncos will have it second-and-11 at the Carolina 29… Jay Cutler gives to Tatum Bell, but running room is hard to find. Gain of two, third-and-nine.

Cutler hits his favorite third down target, Brandon Stokley, for the first down.

13:44: Flag on the play after Cutler and Darrell Jackson couldn’t connect. Holding on Ben Hamilton and the Broncos are pushed back 10 yards. First-and-20, Cutler escapes the blitz and picks up four after Jon Beason stops him. After an incompletion to Brandon Marshall, it is third and long… Cutler, gives to Selvin Young, but he is stopped very short. In fact no gain on the play.

Brett Kern punts and Mark Jones signals for the fair catch at the 27-yard line.

Broncos vs. Panthers: Pregame Notes

December 14th, 2008 - 12:34pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

1:34 p.m. EST: Hello from Bank of America Stadium in uptown Charlotte. It is a little overcast with temperatures expected to be in upper 40s. Not as cool as it is in Denver, where we hear it is around seven degrees right now. Yikes!

Anywho, most of the folks in the press box are gathered around the TV right now watching the Chiefs and the Chargers game.

We will be heading down to the field here in a bit for some photos and we will also have the pregame inactives and any lineup changes.

Looks like K.C. just jumped out on top. Should be interesting…

2:16 p.m. EST: And Kansas City adds to their lead, with Tyler Thigpen hitting Dwayne Bowe on a slant. 14-0 Chiefs. Very interesting game as well, the teams have exchanged turnovers and emotions seem to be rising. Are you guys watching? What do you think thus far?

Staying Focused

December 11th, 2008 - 5:03pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

With a three-game lead in the AFC West and just three games to go, you might think it’d be hard to stay on task and keep yourself from looking ahead to the playoffs.

Thinking that would be a mistake.

“The job’s not done yet,” Brandon Marshall said in his press conference today. “It’s really easy for us to stay focused. We need one more win to get in. We’re not worried about San Diego losing — we’re trying to control our own destiny.”

They’ll get their shot at that one win and control of their own destiny Sunday in Carolina.

“It seems like when our back is against the wall we play better. I think this game is going to show us where we are at as a team. The Panthers are a Super Bowl caliber team, they have great coaches, great players and they are doing a great job. It is going to be an exciting atmosphere to play in.”

Reunions Set For Sunday

COLLEGE TEAMMATES TO REUNITE ON SUNDAY

Brandon Stokley and Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme were college teammates at Southwestern Louisiana from 1995-96. Fast forward 12 years and both are 10-year NFL veterans.

“I never would have though either one of us would have lasted this long,” Stokley said. “It is pretty special. I think both of us feel we are pretty blessed to have this opportunity to keep playing.”

The two former teammates keep in touch and keep tabs on one another.

“I do keep a pretty keen eye on Denver — I want to see what they do, I want to see what Brandon does week-in, week-out,” Delhomme said.

Stokley said that coming from a smaller school and having the mindset that they had to prove themselves is part of the reason both players have had such long and successful NFL careers.

“You can’t ever take anything for granted,” he said. “You have to work a little bit harder than everybody else.”

A Final Farewell

May 20th, 2008 - 7:51am by domonique_foxworthOther posts by

This will be my last blog entry – although I guess maybe I could come back maybe as a guest way, way in the future. It has been a little over a year and all of the fans have gotten an opportunity to get to know me and understand what I have going on in my head and off the head. I think I should allow someone else the opportunity to do so. Good luck to whoever that ends up being. It’s been great getting to know all of your through your messages. I appreciate everybody. I am going to miss it. It’s become an enjoyable part of my career, but I can’t be stingy. I have to share the wonderful internet fans with someone else. So, again, this will be my last one, but I might peek my head back into the blog every now and then.

First day of camp was great. Personally, I was a little rusty, but I’m starting to get back into the swing of things, but it was a lot of fun to get back out there for practice. One great thing about this time of year is that there are endless possibilities. We have high expectations and stuff.

I haven’t gotten a good chance to look at the new rookies and free agents yet. I imagine that they are getting acclimated to the NFL life and the mile-high altitude.
