A.M. Blog: Day 16

August 12th, 2008 - 11:18am by Adam ZinserOther posts by

It’s less than 24 hours until the Broncos host the Cowboys for a couple days of joint practices, and the team held a two hour practice without pads Tuesday morning, the last day for fans to watch training camp.

As has often been the case, things got started with a laugh as D.J. Williams called up coach and former Bronco Keith Burns to lead the team’s breakdown.

ATTENDANCE REPORT: Hamza Abdullah, Boss and Champ Bailey, Louis Green, Peyton Hillis, Tom Nalen, Erik Pears and Ryan Torain were all listed on the out of pads list with their various injuries. Hillis did participate in practice, however. Champ, Green, Nalen and Pears all watched from the sidelines. Boss remained inside rehabbing his sprained ankle.

- Chad Mustard has been moved from the Physically Unable to Perform list to the active roster.

- New cornerback Wale Dada participated in practice after the team waived Lamont Reid. The previous blog entry gives a little more information on the newest member of the Broncos.

P.M. Blog: Day 12

August 6th, 2008 - 5:42pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

Though the sun broke through for most of the afternoon practice, it was definitely much cooler than this morning’s session, and thankfully, the dark clouds heading this way held off just long enough for the team to wrap things up and head inside.

ATTENDANCE REPORT: Hamza Abdullah, Champ Bailey, Peyton Hillis, Chad Mustard, Tom Nalen and Dewayne Robertson all watched from the sidelines with their various injuries/soreness. Abdullah was doing some calisthenics with out on the field to help rehab his groin before practice began. One end of a large elastic band was wrapped around his waist with the other end tied to one of the goal posts. He high-stepped sideways until the band became fully extended and taught, then would move back towards the goal post.

First Depth Chart Released…

August 4th, 2008 - 8:16am by Adam ZinserOther posts by

The team has just officially released the 2008 depth chart. Though things may change over the course of the next few weeks, it provides a glimpse of who will be taking the field on Sundays.

Of note, Ryan Harris starts at right tackle. Not too much of a surprise since he took most of the reps thus far in training camp.

Darrell Jackson holds the number two WR spot across from Brandon Marshall.

Cecil Sapp starts at fullback.

Marcus Thomas will now line up with the ones at defensive tackle.

Nate Webster has taken over the starting MLB spot.

Hamza Abdullah and Marlon McCree take on the starting strong and free safety roles, respectively.

Sam Paulescu and Matt Prater are tops for the punting and kicking duties.

Eddie Royal is the top return man on both punts and kickoffs.

Check out the entire depth chart here.

Let us know what y’all think about this!
