Putting the “D” Back in Denver

September 20th, 2009 - 11:43pm by mike_riceOther posts by

They quietly yet methodically closed their lunch pail, snapped the top shut and walked into the locker room, subtly smiling at the thought of another opponent tidily packed inside.

The Broncos’ defense is playing some good old fashioned football.

The Broncos beat down the Browns 27-6 on Sunday and the defense turned the Browns black and blue, limiting Cleveland to 200 yards of total offense, forcing three turnovers and getting a franchise record-tying four sacks from Elvis Dumervil. The only points the Broncos allowed were two harmless field goals.

Someone tell those guys they aren’t supposed to be this good.

Broncos vs. Browns: Second Half Live Blog

September 20th, 2009 - 3:56pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by

Q3 – 15:00: The Broncos continue to hold Joshua Cribbs’ damage on returns to a minimum. Josh Barrett and Darrell Reid drag him down after a 19-yard return. The Browns will start at their own 23-yard line.

Q3 – 13:34: The Broncos defense puts the Browns in an early hole. The pocket collapses on Brady Quinn on first down and Elvis Dumervil picks up a 2-yard sack. After a stop on the run by Ryan McBean on second down, Cribbs makes the catch on third down. He headed upfield, but Dumervil punched the ball loose. Brian Dawkins recovers the fumble, and the Broncos have excellent field position, starting the half at the Browns 37-yard line.

Q3 – 12:19: A false start penalty on Daniel Graham backs the Broncos up five yards. Out of the pocket, Orton erases the penalty, finding Brandon Marshall for a six-yard gain. With Moreno as the lone setback, Orton dupes the defense with an end around to Marshall for 14 yards and a first down.

Preparing For When It Counts

September 18th, 2009 - 3:22pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by

In the closing seconds of his first regular season game with the Broncos, Head Coach Josh McDaniels had no idea how everything would pan out.

He did have an idea of what he could control: the play calls in the huddle.

“We knew what we were going to do,” McDaniels said. “We knew exactly what calls we were going to make. We didn’t, obviously, know the result, but we knew what we were going to call.”

That confidence stems from McDaniels’ commitment to situational football. Early on in training camp, the Broncos were subject to not only wearing pads, but a bevy of situational drills.

Stokley Moving Forward

September 17th, 2009 - 3:38pm by Zach EisendrathOther posts by

Brandon Stokley has been the talk of the town this week, and for good reason. After all, his miraculous 87-yard game-winning touchdown reception at Cincinnati in Week 1 may turn out to be the Play of the Year in the National Football League.

In between team meetings and practices, the 11th year wide receiver has been busy discussing his Sunday heroics over the past few days — filling numerous media requests and chatting casually with family, friends and Broncos fans alike about the unforgettable catch.

“Everywhere you go people want to talk to you about it and text you about it,” Stokley said. “It’s been definitely a big subject of conversation.”

Buying Into His System

September 16th, 2009 - 4:44pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by

Two interceptions. Seven passes defensed. Six tackles for a loss. Three sacks.

The Broncos defense used all of those plays to keep the team in position for its come-from-behind, 12-7 victory over the Bengals in last Sunday’s opener.

While the players made the plays on the field, captain Brian Dawkins believes the secret to their success came from a proven leader upstairs in the coaches booth: defensive coordinator Mike Nolan.

Browns Win Helps Keep First Place in AFC West

November 11th, 2008 - 9:04pm by mark_cooperOther posts by

O.K. you all, I have to admit I saw very little of game until the end. However I liked the fact that we came back to win, which is a huge confidence builder for the team and Jay, but it wasn’t exactly what I expected.

I didn’t get to the Keys until late Thursday evening, after traveling all day, so help me here. I missed 90 percent of the game and saw the highlights but I need your feedback as an overview of the (REAL) game.

Chime in here so I get a better feel.

Broncos Gut Out a Win

November 7th, 2008 - 1:34am by mike_riceOther posts by

Just when you thought the sky was falling down on the Broncos season, they gutted out a big-time win on the road against Cleveland, 34-30 on Thursday night.

Never mind that they lost linebacker Nate Webster in the first quarter to an injury. Never mind that they lost running back Ryan Torain later to an injury. Never mind that running back Selvin Young was shaken up and couldn’t get back in the game. Never mind that tight end Tony Scheffler was, in the words of quarterback Jay Cutler, “about 75 percent” because of a groin injury.

“(It was) maybe the gutsiest win I’ve ever been associated with, considering the number of guys we had down and (the) guys stepping up who hadn’t even practiced,” head coach Mike Shanahan told 850 KOA after the game.

Broncos vs. Browns: Fourth Quarter Notes

November 6th, 2008 - 5:17pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

15:00: Browns start the final quarter with a 3rd and 6… Brady Quinn rolls and finds Brayon Edwards for the first down, but I see laundry. Offensive pass interference on Kellen Winslow. It is now 3rd and 16… Louis Green sniffs out the bubble screen forcing a fourth down.

13:43: Dave Zastudill hangs a punt high into the Cleveland sky and Eddie Royal calls for the fair catch at the 7-yard line… On the first play Cutler hits Royal who takes it to the house for a 93-yard touchdown. Prater hits the extra point and just like that the Broncos are trailing by just three.

To say that play took a little air out of Cleveland Browns Stadium would be an understatement.

How about some stats after that play. The 93-yard touchdown is the second longest touchdown by a rookie in Broncos history and ties for the fourth longest touchdown pass. Cutler has now thrown for 336 yards, his fifth 300-yard passing day this season.
