Charley Johnson Honored in Full Cycle Week

September 23rd, 2010 - 11:13am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

Sometimes there is so much going on, it is very difficult to tie a bow around it. This is about Charley Johnson, but sometimes a topic is about a lot of things, all at once.

While the terrible tragedy of Kenny McKinley’s passing casts a pall over Broncos Country, we are in a seven-day period that takes us full cycle and ties things together.

Last week the team played its home opener and won, with the end zones painted like those of the 1960’s—a great tribute that will remain all year.

Bakke: The Wheel

September 21st, 2010 - 11:16am by Gabe HiattOther posts by

The relationships and memories you build through the years as a team photographer are priceless.

You have a special entrée to a very unique group of characters in the universes’ daily theater.

As each season unfolds you begin to learn and really understand the inner-workings of your football club. It’s virtually a big wheel with many cogs that lock together to keep the flow, rhythm and unity of TEAM in balance and running smoothly.

Pausing to Reflect

September 21st, 2010 - 9:25am by mike_riceOther posts by

There are times when the games simply don’t matter, when winning and losing are but luxuries compared to the things that last.

Games come and go. The people who play them are so much more important than the results.

From time to time, circumstances arise which jar us back to that reality. Things happen that force us to again remember that perhaps our zeal overtakes the need to keep the important things in focus and in perspective.

This is such a time.

Several Roster Moves Announced

August 5th, 2010 - 3:13pm by Eric DetweilerOther posts by

Patrick Carter

On Thursday, the Broncos signed free agent wide receivers Patrick Carter and Britt Davis. They also placed Kenny McKinley (knee) and Josh Barrett (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending their seasons, while waiving Patrick Honeycutt.

In addition, defensive lineman Jamal Williams made his first appearance on the practice field in pads during training camp this afternoon. In a pre-practice media session, Head Coach Josh McDaniels said Williams, who had been on the active/PUP list, had passed a physical and was ready to go.

Both newcomers also joined the team for this afternoon’s practice session.

Injuries Prompt Late-Season Shifts

December 28th, 2009 - 5:28pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by

A pair of knee injuries will force the Broncos to shift some spots for their Week 17 battle with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Head Coach Josh McDaniels announced at his Monday press conference that Russ Hochstein and Kenny McKinley were both being placed on injured reserve today. He added that Hochstein needs surgery, while McKinley is still being evaluated.

Hochstein has started 10 games this season, including the last eight at left guard. Offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said that loss will challenge another player to fill the void, but within the same constructs of what the team has accomplished with Hochstein.

“He has done a nice job since he’s stepped in and started playing,” McCoy said. “The next guy’s going to have to step in and do a good job. We’ve got to continue doing what we’ve been doing with him in there.”

Larsen and Royal Ruled Out

December 25th, 2009 - 2:20pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by

At his Friday afternoon press conference, Head Coach Josh McDaniels said Spencer Larsen (hamstring) and Eddie Royal (neck/head) have been ruled out of Sunday’s Week 16 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

With Larsen and Royal’s absences, a host of other players will get some additional chances. McDaniels said Peyton Hillis will serve as the team’s primary fullback, while several other receivers could be called on to fill Royal’s void.

One of those individuals is rookie Kenny McKinley, who’s made an early dent in the kicking game. The South Carolina product has appeared in six games this season, with six kickoff returns for 136 yards and three punt returns for 37 yards.

Wednesday Practice Report

July 29th, 2009 - 1:05pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by

Wednesday’s practice came to a close with the Broncos completing an hour-long session chock full of different drills and installments.

Brandon Marshall, Lucas Taylor and D.J. Williams missed the morning session. Head Coach Josh McDaniels said it was due to residual soreness.

Here are some quick hits from Wednesday:

  • Brandon Stokley was at camp early for a second day in a row. His son, sporting a Carmelo Anthony Nuggets jersey Tuesday, wore an Eddie Royal jersey on Wednesday. Chad Jackson and Lonie Paxton were a few of the players spotted walking around Dove Valley today.
  • Linebackers coach Don Martindale had Wesley Woodyard and Lee Robinson working on goal-line stands, with each rotating between the tight end and linebacker position.

    D.J. Williams and Wesley Woodyard joined the festivities — two more veterans recovering from injuries — after missing yesterday’s session with flu-like symptoms.

    Brandon Marshall and Lucas Taylor missed the morning session, which Head Coach Josh McDaniels said was a coaching decision due to soreness.

    A New Transition

    June 30th, 2009 - 10:06am by Zach EisendrathOther posts by

    Through the better part of three decades as a collegiate head coach, Steve Spurrier has instructed his share of talented wide receivers.

    From his 12-year tenure at Florida and on through his current post at South Carolina, Spurrier has worked with a number of NFL-caliber wide outs in the Southeastern Conference — thirteen-year NFL veteran Ike Hilliard, Minnesota Vikings 2007 draft pick Sidney Rice and first-year Bronco Jabar Gaffney are a few names that come to mind.

    Yet, Spurrier has labeled a different individual as the “best wide receiver I’ve ever coached.” The ol’ ball coach has given that distinct honor to Broncos fifth round draft pick Kenny McKinley.

    “I really appreciate Coach Spurrier and look up to him. Those comments coming from him, with all the people that he has coached, is a big statement,” McKinley said at his post-draft press conference. “When I heard that he said that it really got to me because he got me to where I am today coming from playing QB in high school to being a pretty good receiver playing in the NFL for the Denver Broncos.”
