A Much-Needed Break

March 24th, 2009 - 7:04am by mike_riceOther posts by

The stakes are high. The emotions are raw. Everyone wants to see a resolution in the situation between the Broncos and quarterback Jay Cutler and we all wanted it yesterday.

The fact is that sometimes things just take time.

If you had asked me two weeks ago how I thought this saga would end, I would have said without a doubt I believed Jay Cutler would be back as the Broncos’ starting quarterback in 2009.

Now, I can only hope he will be back.

The tough part in trying to come to an opinion about a situation such as this is that people on the outside, and I include myself in that group, don’t really and truly know what is going on. People might think they know based on who tells what to whom.

But when it gets right down to it, we weren’t in the meetings. We didn’t hear the various conversations that went on. The people who were in the meetings and were involved in the conversations have often come away with much differing thoughts on what transpired.

I have never liked playing the blame-game; it just doesn’t accomplish much. So I’m not going to sit here and say who I think is right in this whole thing because I just don’t know. Call that a cop-out if you like but sometimes I believe we all think too highly of our uninformed opinions.

The Dust Settles

February 1st, 2009 - 12:20am by mike_riceOther posts by

As the 2008 NFL draws to a close, the Broncos have spent the last month planning for the 2009 campaign and beyond.

The shock and surprise of the team’s first head coaching change in 14 years has now settled into the reality that the Josh McDaniels era is underway at Dove Valley.

Ultimately, time will tell how successful Coach McDaniels is. This past week there were strong indications that he is off to a great start.

Broncos’ quarterback Jay Cutler told 850 KOA last week that he wasn’t exactly a happy camper when he heard the news of Coach Shanahan’s dismissal.

“I was mad, I was shocked, I was disappointed,” Cutler admitted. “Coming off my third year, we had a lot of success and I felt like we were going to take some steps back and start all over again. When it first happened, I wasn’t very happy about it.”

Wiegmann Heading to Hawaii

January 13th, 2009 - 12:56pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall already have their tickets to the NFL’s annual all-star game, but now they’ll have a little company.

Casey Wiegmann will now join them in the 2009 Pro Bowl in February. He was listed as the first alternate at center, but with Kevin Mawae of the Titans bowing out of the game due to his torn triceps muscle, Wiegmann steps into the lineup.

This marks the first trip to the Pro Bowl for Wiegmann, who just wrapped up his 13th year in the league and first with the Broncos. He has started 127 consecutive games, the longest active streak among centers in the NFL.

The game will be played on Sunday, Feb. 8, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu at 2:30 p.m. MST and will be televised by NBC.

Moving Forward

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Even though the Broncos fell just short of the postseason, it’s still playoff time in the NFL, and that means that players, coaches and fans are excited.

The Broncos’ excitement is certainly tempered, by Brandon Stokley said he can’t help but to watch some of this weekend’s matchups.

“I am a football fan,” he said. “I love football. I love watching the playoffs. I will be cheering for Indy.”

Stokley used to play for the Indianapolis Colts, and it doesn’t hurt that they’re going up against the San Diego Chargers.

Jay Cutler, on the other hand, said his TV won’t be tuned in to any playoff football.

“I won’t watch them,” he said. “No interest in it.”

A QB Battle and Christmas Wishes

CUTLER VS. RIVERS

It is fairly safe to assume that Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler and Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers aren’t sending one another Christmas cards this holiday season. And for many players around the Broncos locker room, that rivalry adds another level of intensity to this weekend’s AFC West title tilt in San Diego.

“We have Jay’s back,” Daniel Graham said. “He is our captain and when he is at war, we all support him. We are going to war with him. It is going to be a good one on Sunday.”

With so much drama surrounding one contest, and the rivalry between the two up-and-coming superstar quarterbacks only adding to it, Ebenezer Ekuban said if he wasn’t on the field, he would pay good money to see this showdown.

“You have two phenomenal quarterbacks who are still young, we still haven’t seen what they are capable of,” Ekuban said. “Those are two young dynamic quarterbacks back there who have control of their teams. It is going to be an interesting game. It is going to be fun.”

In just their third year in the NFL, Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall have made their mark upon the league.

It began with fan voters who made them two of the top vote getters, and now it is official after players and coaches around the league have voted.

It marks the first time for both players at the annual all-star game, which will be played on Sunday, Feb. 8, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu at 2:30 p.m. MST and will be televised by NBC.

AWARD UPDATES:
The Broncos Ryan Clady and Jay Cutler were each honored with NFL awards for their performances in Week 14.

Clady was named Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week, the first time an offensive lineman has won the award since it started in 2004. Clady led an offensive line that allowed Cutler to pass for 286 yards and two touchdowns, prevented Kansas City from recording a sack and allowed Denver to total 139 rushing yards in the team’s 24 -17 win over the Chiefs.

Clady is the fourth Bronco to have won the award this season. Eddie Royal has been voted Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week twice. It is the fourth time in the last five weeks that a Denver Rookie has taken home the award.
