Tebow-to-Decker for TD

October 30th, 2011 - 5:01pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

The Broncos got back on the board midway through the fourth quarter, as the offense put together a nine-play, 80-yard drive capped off by a 14-yard pass from Tim Tebow to Eric Decker.

It was a screen pass, and Decker leaped over a defender before sprinting past several Lions into the end zone.

Lance Ball had 23 rushing yards on the drive, and Tebow picked up 18 on the ground himself to help keep the drive alive.

Matt Prater’s extra point sailed through the uprights to bring the score to 45-10, Lions.

Decker now leads the team in receiving with 66 yards.

Preparing for the Unknown

October 20th, 2011 - 11:37am by Stuart ZaasOther posts by Stuart Zaas

At the ripe age of 25, Eddie Royal has assumed the role of the veteran among the team’s wide receivers. Royal’s 47 games played and 39 starts lead a position group where no other player has made more than two career starts.

“I’m only 25 years old,” Royal laughed. “It says a lot that they have a lot of faith in those guys and us to be able to come out and prepare the right way and to come make plays.”

Aside from Royal’s 39 starts, the rest of the group combines for five starts, which doesn’t give opposing teams much film to watch as they prepare to face this young receiving corps.

Players Discuss QB Change

October 11th, 2011 - 5:39pm by Max HensonOther posts by Max Henson

After receiving word that Tim Tebow would be taking over for Kyle Orton in Week 7 against the Dolphins, several Broncos shared their thoughts on the change and spoke about the unique traits Tebow brings to the quarterback position.

Here are a few quotes from inside the locker room:

WR Eric Decker on Tebow’s growth:
“With his progression over the last year-and-a-half, he’s just gotten more comfortable with the system. It’s a lot coming from college football to the NFL learning a new system with the speed that everybody has. He’s always had confidence, but getting the experience and getting the passes and just trusting himself and trusting his drops, trusting his throws and trusting the guys around him-that is something you learn as time goes on.”

Decker Day

September 18th, 2011 - 5:40pm by mark_cooperOther posts by mark_cooper

Was that Eric Decker or a reenactment of Ed McCaffrey….Decker baby, we love you brother, go man go!!!! Nice job and proving to be the go to guy beside Lloyd. Great compliment for the passing attack.

Lots of good stuff and still a few holding calls and off-sides calls on the O-line BUT much better run blocking and McGahee ran for 101 yards. Basically the offense you’d expect from Coach Fox.

The first drive was basically flawless and got me pretty excited. Run and pass combinations all the way down the field. So with 5 guys out we played very well…baby steps right?

Four Head to X Games

X Games

Ryan Harris, J.D. Walton, Eric Decker and Zane Beadles headed up the mountain this weekend to soak in Winter X Games 15.

Above, the four pose in front of the halfpipe on Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colo.

The trip has even gotten some pub on NFL.com.

Below the players ride a Snow Cat back up the mountain to check out some of the events. Just thought we’d give you a glimpse of their trip, thanks to team photographer Eric Lars Bakke.

Mays, Gronkowski to IR

December 6th, 2010 - 2:52pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

Two players who joined the Broncos in trades before the season are headed to the injured reserve.

After sustaining an ankle and knee injury, respectively, in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Dan Gronkowski and Joe Mays are out for the remainder of the season.

Gronkowski, who had eight catches for 65 yards this season, suffered his injury in the second quarter but toughed it out to return to the game.

“He’s just a tough (player),” Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. “He (injured) it and then he went back in and taped it again at halftime. I love his toughness and we have a great deal of respect for what he tried to do yesterday, because he did not want to come out of the game. As a coach, you appreciate that a lot.”

While Gronkowski did not reinjure the ankle, the initial injury was severe enough to end his season.

McDaniels also discussed the loss of Mays, who has stepped in as a starter at middle linebacker in five of the previous six games, accumulating 40 tackles and a pass defensed this season.

Homeward Bound

August 30th, 2010 - 5:20pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

After Sunday’s 34-17 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Broncos have a quick turnaround before traveling to take on the Vikings on Wednesday.

For Ryan Harris and Eric Decker, the trip couldn’t come soon enough. It’s a homecoming for both Minnesota natives.

“I’m very excited,” Decker said. “It’s going to be fun to come back home and see some family and friends. I’ve got my community coming — about 2,000 people. It’s always fun to have that support and be back and playing in front of your home state. I’ve grown up in Minnesota. I love the people there and they’ve been very good to me. It should be a lot of fun.”

Young ‘Lions’ in Our Lineup

August 22nd, 2010 - 9:42pm by mark_cooperOther posts by mark_cooper

Kyle Orton

Bruce Hall, Lance Ball, Eric Decker and Matthew Willis mixed in with Jabar Gaffney’s performance excited me. Yep, I’m a homer. Justin Fargas did a nice job, too. You know me if you’ve been reading this long enough. In preseason I look for bright spots and don’t really watch the game as much.

I liked what I saw out of the first team offense outside other than the tipped pass, which is going to happen from time to time, and the game got out of hand early, but by halftime we were only down by two. It was a nice drive during the 2-minute drill.

2010 Training Camp Day 18 Blog

August 18th, 2010 - 3:08pm by Gabe HiattOther posts by Gabe Hiatt

Despite the oppressive heat, the Broncos jogged out to the practice field at Dove Valley in a festive mood for their only practice of the day.

Marcus Thomas crooned along when Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer” blasted out of the speakers before the session, and Ryan Harris played catch with a group of 70 soldiers from Fort Carson who attended practice in their uniforms.
