Pro Bowl Voting Update

November 18th, 2009 - 10:43am by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

Yesterday we told you Champ Bailey is the only Bronco leading his position group in Pro Bowl voting for the AFC squad.

Well now we know that six more Broncos are in the top five in their position group.

As you know, Bailey is the No. 1 cornerback. Brian Dawkins is the No. 2 strong safety, behind Pittsburgh’s Troy Polamalu, and Elvis Dumervil is the No. 2 outside linebacker, behind Pittsburgh’s James Harrison.

Eddie Royal is the No. 3 kick returner, behind San Diego’s Darren Sproles and Cleveland’s Joshua Cribbs.

Ryan Clady is the No. 5 tackle, behind Miami’s Jake Long, New England’s Matt Light, Pittsburgh’s Max Starks and Indianapolis’ Ryan Diem. D.J. Williams is the No. 5 inside linebacker, behind Baltimore’s Ray Lewis, Pittsburgh’s James Farrior, New York’s Bart Scott, and New England’s Jerod Mayo. And Matt Prater is the No. 5 kicker, behind Indianapolis’ Adam Vinatieri, New England’s Stephen Gostkowski, Pittsburgh’s Jeff Reed and San Diego’s Nate Kaeding.

Training Camp Day 1: P.M. Blog

July 31st, 2009 - 9:32pm by Zach EisendrathOther posts by Zach Eisendrath

Day one of training camp has come to a close. The Broncos completed their first evening practice on a brisk night at Dove Valley, lasting just over two hours.

After enjoying ideal conditions for the morning practice — warm temperatures with a bit of shade — temperatures dropped considerably for the p.m. practice. Still, for the most part the weather again cooperated, as the team managed to avoided the rain that fell at Dove Valley for much of the afternoon.

Here are some tidbits from the team’s second practice of the day:

Starting To Look Ahead

December 14th, 2007 - 10:12am by mike_riceOther posts by mike_rice

I know there are two games left and the Broncos need to try to win them. But I’m taking a deep breath after the loss to Houston and starting to think about next year.

The Broncos aren’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs but the way they are playing, and have played this year, they have showed they are not a playoff team.

But they have pieces in place that, to me, show they could be a playoff team again as early as next year.

Mission Accomplished

December 10th, 2007 - 1:28am by mike_riceOther posts by mike_rice

There’s nothing quite like a blowout when you’re on the plus side of it. The Broncos needed such a game — and they got one Sunday against the Chiefs.

I know, it was “only” against the Chiefs, who are certainly on the south side of decent during a recent losing streak. But still, the Broncos went out and dominated a team that they should dominate.

I was really impressed with quarterback Jay Cutler. I’ve been saying it for awhile, but he continues to get better. There weren’t any red-zone issues against Kansas City. The Broncos offense flat-out did a lot of good things against the Chiefs and Cutler was in complete control. I still find it amazing that he has made only 18 career starts in the NFL.

How good did Brandon Marshall look? Holy guacamole, this young man can play. He is becoming a terrific receiver right before our eyes. The way he gains yards after the catch, the way he has improved as a blocker … it’s impressive, to say the least.
