Fox on QBs

October 10th, 2011 - 1:06pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

With players off Monday, Head Coach John Fox said he wouldn’t make an announcement on the quarterback position during his afternoon press conference.

“That’s something that we’ll evaluate and we’ll meet,” Fox said. “The way we’ll operate is we’ll communicate with the people involved and the team long before we announce it.”

But after staff meetings later in the afternoon and the chance to meet with players tomorrow, the head coach said he’ll likely be ready to discuss the situation on Tuesday.

“I’d say there would be a strong likelihood that we will address that tomorrow,” he said.

As for what would go into his decision on who will start after the bye week, Fox said “everything.”

“You evaluate everything,” he said. “When you make decisions in your heart and in your mind, it’s what’s best for the football team. Whatever direction we go, that will be the number one thing in mind.”

Fox Talks 1-2

September 26th, 2011 - 2:29pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

The Denver Broncos are 1-2.

What that record doesn’t show is how close all three games have been.

For the third straight week, the Broncos played a game that was decided by a field goal or less. It’s the first time in club history that Denver has opened the season with three games decided by three or fewer points and only the 19th time in NFL history a team has opened that way.

“We could be sitting here 3-0, or we could be sitting here 0-3,” Head Coach John Fox said Monday.

Sunday’s loss in Tennessee demonstrated just how easily games can swing one way or the other.

Bowlen Hands Fox Game Ball

September 18th, 2011 - 6:55pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Minutes after the Broncos pulled out a 24-22 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, Owner and CEO Pat Bowlen called up the team in the locker room.

Players took a knee as Bowlen awarded the game ball — kept after the team’s final kneel-down — to Head Coach John Fox for his first win.

You can check out the photo above — Fox holds the ball up, post-Gatorade shower.

Speaking of which, Brian Dawkins said the Gatorade dump almost didn’t happen.

“It almost slipped my mind for a split second, but I hustled over there to get him that,” he smiled. “He definitely deserved that. This was a tough, tough victory. A grind-it-out victory, and I’ll take it.”

Preparation Underway at Dove Valley

It’s a big day for the NFL, and there’s understandably a lot of excitement swirling around Dove Valley.

“This is a great day for everyone involved with the National Football League—first and foremost our fans,” Head Coach John Fox said. “Our coaching staff is comprised of a great group of teachers who are eager to begin working with our players. All of us are looking forward to building relationships with our players and making the Broncos a better team.

“Our preparation has been well thought out, and we are ready for training camp and the 2011 season.”

The lockout is lifted, and preparations are already being made to get ready for the return of players.

Fox’s Interests

July 19th, 2011 - 4:52pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

As I hinted earlier on Twitter, Head Coach John Fox recently filled out a questionnaire for the NFL. I asked if anyone could name his favorite movie, and got some interesting responses ranging from Seabiscuit to Space Cowboys, none of which were correct.

So without further adieu, here is the coach’s response to that question and several others:

Fox, Elway Talk Defensive Line

March 8th, 2011 - 10:44am by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Before showing their support at the 35th Annual Sports Breakfast, benefitting the Boy Scouts of America, Head Coach John Fox and Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway addressed a number of topics, including the decision to release defensive linemen Justin Bannan and Jamal Williams and re-sign Kevin Vickerson.

“Those things are never easy,” Fox said. “In this process you have a budget and a cap, and all those things come into play. I think right now we were able to sign a youthful guy in Kevin Vickerson. We got Champ Bailey — I don’t know how youthful he is — but you guys know as well as I do what he brings to the table, both on the field and in that locker room.”

Elway said the team needs to get younger on the defensive side of the ball, and Fox noted that Vickerson’s play in 2010 stood out as the team decided which players to retain.

Revamping The Roster

March 7th, 2011 - 1:49am by mike_riceOther posts by

Change is a way of life in the NFL. The times are a-changin’ for the Denver Broncos.

We all know those changes started with the head coaching change with four games left in the regular season. They continued with the hiring of John Elway as the Executive Vice President of Football Operations shortly after the season ended. Now the changes continue as the Broncos begin to revamp the roster.

Recently, the Broncos released veteran defensive linemen Justin Bannan and Jamal Williams. The two players would have been owed roster bonuses had the team not released them.

Roster turnover is a fact of life for every NFL team every year. But this is especially true when a team has a bad season.

John Fox Right Coach at Right Time

January 14th, 2011 - 11:22am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

This is a very exciting moment in Denver Broncos history as John Fox takes the reins as head coach of the iconic Rocky Mountain sports franchise.

There is no team comparable to the Broncos in our time zone, and as one draws closer to Denver it is like heading into the epicenter of an emotional tsunami, with the Broncos figuratively representing the state religion for legions of Broncos Country residents.

The Broncos have achieved legendary status over the past 51 years, albeit in a legendary low ebb at this very time.

But with every negative comes a positive, and in this case it just happened that John Fox was available to bring his experience, energy and focus to the Mile High City.
