Royal’s Special Night Earns Special Honor

October 20th, 2009 - 5:00pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

A pair of special teams touchdowns against San Diego has granted Eddie Royal his first career special teams honor.

Royal will be named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, the Broncos learned on Tuesday, for his Week 6 performance in a 34-23 victory over the Chargers. His 235 total return yards set a franchise record.

The majority of those 235 yards came via that pair of blistering runs on the Chargers’ coverage teams. Royal became the second Bronco and 11th player in NFL history to record a kickoff return for a touchdown (93 yds. in first quarter) and a punt return for a touchdown (71 yds. in second quarter) in the same game. He is the sixth player to accomplish that feat since the 1970 NFL merger.

Stepping Back In Time

October 9th, 2009 - 3:16pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

They had seen pictures. They had heard a variety of different reviews.

On Friday, the Broncos got a first look at themselves in their 1960 retro uniforms.

Head Coach Josh McDaniels had the players practice in the new colors, getting them accustomed to the threads before Sunday’s Legacy Game against the Patriots. The full ensemble included the yellow jerseys, vertically striped yellow and brown socks, brown pants a brown helmet with numbers instead of a logo.

Ronald Fields was one of the first Broncos to try on the new look and his reactions were mixed.

“I don’t even know what to think anymore,” Fields laughed. “I thought our colors were blue, man. What’s up with this brown?”

Looking at the vertically striped socks, Matt Prater said the uniforms would add something fun to Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

“They’re pretty flashy,” Prater said of the socks. “I feel like a bumble bee in them but it’s different and it shouldn’t affect the game too much. You just play the game the same way and look a little different this time.”

Day 3: A.M. Blog

August 2nd, 2009 - 12:32pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

The Broncos were back with the early sun, completing the first half of their second two-a-day stint of training camp. Here are some quick hits from the morning session.

ROLL CALL: Carted off the field during Saturday’s practice, Nic Clemons missed the session.

“Nic probably won’t be out here for the next couple of days, but nothing serious, and hopefully he’ll be back here soon,” Head Coach Josh McDaniels said.

  • Towards the middle of practice, Brandon Marshall went inside, which McDaniels later explained.

    A ‘Dangerous’ Game

    December 18th, 2008 - 4:32pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

    It has been well advertised that the Broncos have a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a win on Sunday. The Buffalo Bills are the team to beat, and at 6-8, losers of three-in-a-row, some people might think Sunday is a foregone conclusion.

    But Brandon Marshall says not so fast. Just because the Bills are eliminated from the playoffs doesn’t mean they don’t have the ability to come into INVESCO and get a win.

    “If a team is not in the playoffs, they want to take somebody home with them,” Marshall said. “It is not easy. A lot of people think, ‘Oh, you are going up against a team that is 6-8,’ but those teams are the ones you don’t want to see at the end of the season when you need a win. They are dangerous.”

    But at the same time, Denver has won four of its last six, and with the No. 2 offense in the league, not many people want to see the Broncos come the end of the year, either.

    “We are dangerous on the offensive side of the ball and we play with confidence,” Marshall said. “If we limit our mistakes against Buffalo, we can be dangerous on Sunday.”

    Staying Focused

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

    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.”

    D’s Back…Orange Jerseys the key?

    December 8th, 2008 - 9:44am by mark_cooperOther posts by mark_cooper

    Had to mention the orange jerseys baby!!! I like it. The D held Larry Johnson to 36 yards in 11 carries and that in my book goes a long way. Keeping the Chiefs to under a 100 yards rushing is a job well done. One game at a time and build on past performances. It’s anyone’s Superbowl this year.

    The Cowboys lost again, giving one away to the Steelers and Jets lost again and we get a look at Carolina tonight who’ll be on a short week. Giants lost the Eagles and the Titans and the Steelers look like the teams to beat in the AFC.

    Off Early for the Holiday

    November 27th, 2008 - 4:01pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by Adam Zinser

    The Broncos held an early 10:20 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. practice at Dove Valley so players could get home to spend Thanksgiving with family, and by all accounts, everyone was in high spirits, laughing and joking around in the locker room before heading their separate ways.

    But we were able to chat with a couple players before they headed out, so here are some quick hits from the day’s events.

    DINNER WITH IRVIN

    A few days before Thanksgiving, Brandon Marshall had dinner with a Hall of Famer — former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin.

    “It was right after the Oakland game,” Marshall said. “I sat down with Michael Irvin after the game for dinner, and he put a lot of things into perspective for me.”

    When you’re an up and coming young wide receiver in the NFL, seeking out a knowledgeable veteran who has been there and done that can only help.

    “I think we all know what type of guy he is and the things he has been through,” Marshall said. “All I did was shut my mouth and listen a lot. He told me to surround myself with good people, to do the right things and continue to do what I am doing. I feel good with the direction I am heading as a person and I am thankful. It is Thanksgiving and I have a lot to be thankful for including the season, the organization, the NFL giving me another chance and the fans giving me another chance.”

    Bailey Back for the Silver and Black?

    November 20th, 2008 - 4:00pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

    Champ Bailey said after practice today that he is taking his injury day-by-day. Bailey injured his groin against the New England Patriots, and he hasn’t seen any game action since.

    There was hope he could play last week, but he sat out the game. He participated on a limited basis in yesterday and today’s practice, so his status for this week is still up in the air.

    “This thing is a tricky injury — it is something I have never dealt with,” Bailey said. “What I am trying to do is trying to work my way back in there as quick as I can, but trying to be patient at the same time.”

    He said he sometimes feels like he’s not being accountable by not playing, but everything’s been made easier by the fact that the team has found a way to win twice in his absence.

    “That is the good thing about all the games that I have missed in my career — we have only lost one,” he said. “That is great. Young guys get a chance to step up.”
