November 27th, 2011 - 3:32pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by Stuart Zaas

Elvis Dumervil moved the Chargers backwards to start their two-minute drive, breaking into the backfield and sacking Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers for a 13-yard loss.

The sack gives Dumervil 4.5 quarterback takedowns on the season and 47.5 in his career. He now has sacks in four straight games, which marks a career-best streak. Dumervil is the one of two players in the NFL with at least a half sack in the past four games.

Dynamic Duo

November 7th, 2011 - 4:19pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by Stuart Zaas

Elvis Dumervil returned to the stat sheet in a big way on Sunday, getting to Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer twice, finishing with 1.5 sacks – his first quarterback takedowns since the 2009 season when he led the league with 17 sacks.

Von Miller, the team’s second overall choice in the 2011 draft split one sack with Dumervil, to bring his team-leading total to 6.5 on the season.

“I think the fact that they are on different sides and we did a couple new things with Von yesterday – they’re both threats, and it’s more for the offense to deal with just like if you have two shutdown corners versus one shutdown corner,” Head Coach John Fox said on Monday. “You create some of the same problems for the protection, so getting Elvis back and getting him healthy, obviously helped us.”

Dumervil Notches First Sack

November 6th, 2011 - 3:43pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

On third-and-13 inside the Oakland 20-yard line, Elvis Dumervil notched his first sack of the season to force a Raiders punt.

Von Miller got to Carson Palmer’s ankle first, and Dumervil was there to finish the job. UPDATE: It has been credited as a half sack for both Dumervil and Miller.

It’s Batman and Robin meeting up at the quarterback.

On Thursday, Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen said that once Dumervil notched that first sack, “they come in bunches.”

We’ll see if No. 92 finds his way to the quarterback again this afternoon.

Getting Back the ‘Doom’

October 6th, 2011 - 5:04pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by Stuart Zaas

Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil played his first full contest since the 2009 season on Sunday at Green Bay. Dumervil started the season opener against Oakland, but was limited to pass-rush situations due to a shoulder injury, which kept him out of the team’s Week 2 and 3 games.

While that was not the way the sixth-year pro hoped to kick off the season after missing an entire year due to a pectoral injury, Dumervil is working to get back to the form that he displayed the last season he took the field, when he led the NFL with a club-record 17 sacks in 2009.

“There was a lot of rust last week, but I’m looking forward to this week,” Dumervil said after practice on Thursday. “I felt good in practice, so it should be a good week.”

McCarthy, Rodgers Prepping for Unfamiliar Foe

September 28th, 2011 - 4:57pm by Max HensonOther posts by Max Henson

For the first time this season, the Broncos are preparing to play a team from the NFC as they’ll head to Green Bay for a meeting with the defending Super Bowl champions Sunday.

The two teams last squared off in Denver during the 2007 season, and it’s been 8 years since the Broncos last stepped foot on Lambeau Field.

In a conference call with the media, Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged the challenge the Broncos present with a new coaching staff and a revamped roster since the teams last met.

Raiders Preparing for ‘Totally Different Defense’

September 7th, 2011 - 3:52pm by Max HensonOther posts by Max Henson

The Broncos’ Monday night opener against the Raiders may be a highly anticipated meeting between two long-standing rivals, but on a conference call Wednesday, Oakland Head Coach Hue Jackson and his quarterback Jason Campbell had nothing but complimentary things to say about their opposition in Denver, particularly on defense.

Jackson was asked if he’d watched the Broncos pass-rushing duo of Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller and he was quick to provide an animated response.

Quick Hits from Media BBQ

July 27th, 2011 - 4:06pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

Four players met with the media a day before the first practices of training camp — Brandon Lloyd, Mario Haggan, Elvis Dumervil and Brian Dawkins.

We’ll have much more from what all four of them had to say, including the full Dumervil interview courtesy of Broncos TV, later this afternoon.

In the mean time, here are a couple quick nuggets from the interviews.

Haggan said he hated to see Jabar Gaffney heading to Washington because of what he did for the team over the past two seasons, but understood the move.

Haggan to the Line?

June 20th, 2011 - 1:18pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

In an answer we didn’t include last week in his Q&A session with DenverBroncos.com, Linebackers Coach Richard Smith talked about his impressions of the linebackers he’s preparing to work with this season.

One key point that stood out was the fact that he put Mario Haggan into the same group as Elvis Dumervil and Robert Ayers, players Head Coach John Fox has already said he envisions as 4-3 defensive ends.

“You’d say why?” Smith said. “What it does is it upgrades the speed of our defense. Now you’re taking linebackers and they’re playing down linemen — it upgrades the athleticism of that position.”

I asked Smith to talk a little more about the role Haggan will most likely play in 2011 after rotating from outside linebacker to inside linebacker and back again in 2010.
