On the Job Training

December 31st, 2010 - 2:30pm by Gabe HiattOther posts by

The curtain of snow that fell on Dove Valley on Friday could not dampen Interim Head Coach Eric Studesville’s smile.

Winter weather influenced Studesville to move the day’s practice indoors, but that was just another curve ball he’s dealt with since he took over the team less than a month ago.

In a press conference before the last Friday practice of the 2010 regular season, Studesville stood at the podium fielding questions with an ear-to-ear grin on his face. He took the opportunity to reflect on a whirlwind December in which President and CEO Pat Bowlen tabbed him to lead the team.

“There are so many things that I have learned and so many experiences that I have had in the last four weeks,” Studesville said.

Bakke: 20 for 2010

December 31st, 2010 - 10:13am by Gabe HiattOther posts by

Team photographer Eric Lars Bakke has been working with the Broncos for 26 years. His photography blog will serve as a unique look from the perspective of an NFL photographer, periodically updating the site with tales from the sidelines, some of his favorite photos and the stories behind them.

For all of us, the year 2010 will go down as a memorable one for certain. We all had our joys and our sorrows; our struggles and our accomplishments.

And for Denver Bronco fans the year didn’t turn out as they had hoped or envisioned. The season is nearing an end and yet there is promise. Remember, there will be a tomorrow and there DEFINITELY will be more orange and blue sunsets.

As we close out this calendar year, I would like to share some of my favorite moments from the sidelines around the NFL following the team.

Happy New Year, Broncos fans!

Broncos Country is in need of a new year. What better way to start off the New Year than if we get a win against San Diego! After playing San Diego the season is over, but we have a lot to look forward to.

Learning Curve

December 30th, 2010 - 2:54pm by Eric DetweilerOther posts by

As Tim Tebow continues to grow from his first few games as an NFL starting quarterback, Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy said he’s learning right along with the rookie.

McCoy, who assumed playcalling duties three games ago, said he and the offensive staff have appreciated the chance to pick up added responsibility down the stretch this season.

“It’s a great opportunity to learn because there’s something that comes up every week,” McCoy said. “You’re never going to call a perfect game. There’s always going to be something that you want to call, or you want back that you called, and you learn from it.”

TD HOF

December 30th, 2010 - 10:53am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

That headline seems like some confusing code, but I’ll bet it makes quick sense to Denver Broncos fans.

This week the Pro Football Hall of Fame voters made their choices in bringing the list of 25 names down to the roughly 15 who will be considered for induction in 2011.

The Hall has not yet announced that list, so we cannot be sure if both Shannon Sharpe and Terrell Davis are on it, or not. The common logic is that Sharpe not only will make the list of finalists, but that this will possibly be the year when Shannon breaks through and makes the Hall. It should be. He retired as the all time tight end leader in catches, yards, touchdowns, Super Bowl victories, and Pro Bowls.

Shannon Sharpe is a Hall of Fame cinch, hopefully this year.

But it is way too easy for the national press to underrate the performance of Terrell Davis.

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.

Leonard Added to Active Roster

December 29th, 2010 - 9:39am by Gabe HiattOther posts by

With one game left on the schedule, Denver’s roster is still evolving.

The club placed linebacker Lee Robinson on injured reserve and signed defensive lineman Louis Leonard to the active roster to take his place.

Leonard is a fourth-year player who appeared in one game for the Patriots and two games for the Panthers this year, notching two tackles for Carolina. He also appeared in two games for Carolina last season, posting 11 tackles and a sack before being placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

He will wear No. 94 for the Broncos.

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.

Making a Stand

December 27th, 2010 - 2:32pm by Eric DetweilerOther posts by

In their last two fourth quarters coming into Sunday’s game against Houston, the Broncos had been outscored 40-13. Denver reversed that trend in a 24-23 win by coming up with the contest’s final 14 points to complete the comeback.

A day later, Interim Head Coach Eric Studesville pointed to his defense’s ability to get off the field with key third-down stops as one of the big factors in helping to complete the come-from-behind win.

Houston went just 1-for-8 on third-down conversion attempts in the game with quarterback Matt Schaub tossing an incompletion on the Texans’ only fourth-quarter attempt. That play forced the punt that led to Tim Tebow’s go-ahead touchdown run.
