Broncos at 49ers: First Half Blog

October 31st, 2010 - 11:05am by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

COIN TOSS: The Broncos captains – joined by John Elway – call heads. It is heads and the Broncos will receive.

Q1 15:00: Joe Nedney’s opening kickoff is fielded by Demaryius Thomas who breaks tackles to the 32-yard line.

Broncos start out on offense with; Beadles, Kuper, Walton, Clady, Hochstein, Graham, Quinn, Moreno, Gronkowski, Gaffney and Orton.

Q1 14:00: After two Moreno runs, the Broncos face third-and-four and try a reverse with Thomas. The 49ers sniff it out and are forced to punt.

Q1 12:56: 49ers take over with the Broncos lined up in a 4-3 with McBean, Thomas, Bannan, Jamal Williams, D.J. Williams, Haggan, Hunter, Dawkins, Hill, Bailey and Goodman the starters for the defense.

A short run by Frank Gore on first down and an incomplete on second down have the 49ers looking at a third-and-seven. Brian Westbrook gets the call on the run, and only gets 2-yard setting up a punt. Eddie Royal lets the punt go over his head, but a good bounce keeps it out of the endzone and the 49ers down it at the Broncos’ 3-yard line.

Broncos vs. 49ers: Pregame Blog

October 31st, 2010 - 9:31am by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

Good afternoon from London’s Wembley Stadium. The crowd is piling into the stadium in a myriad of different jerseys. The contest between the Broncos and the 49ers is almost like an International NFL convention with jerseys from all 32 team represented in the crowd.

With this being a 49ers home game, the majority of the stadium signage and field marks are in support of the red and gold. Each seat at Wembley comes with a 49ers flag, but the Broncos are represented with a painted endzone and two floats.

We should have inactives very shortly as well as some pregame pictures from the field.

Taking Care of Business

October 29th, 2010 - 11:23am by Eric DetweilerOther posts by

Unlike many of his teammates, Kyle Orton has made the journey from Denver to London before.

The Broncos quarterback and his wife, Bridget, vacationed in the city a few years ago, giving Orton — who majored in history at Purdue — a chance to take in many of its most famous sites.

After making the more than nine hour flight from the Mile High City to London’s Heathrow Airport this time around, the expectations for the trip are a little different.

“You want to have a great combination of having fun and enjoying your time over here, no question about that,” Orton said. “But for us it’s such an important game, that’s going to make the trip one way or another. If we can come out and play well and win the football game, we’re going to have a fun trip.”

London Calling!

The Denver Broncos this Sunday will be the road team when they play the San Francisco 49ers, but both teams will be a long way from the City by the Bay.

London’s Wembley Stadium will be the host venue when the Broncos take on old rival San Francisco as part of the NFL’s 2010 International Series, but it will not be the Broncos’ first foray into international competition.

It’s How You Play, Not Who You Play

April 21st, 2010 - 2:48pm by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

The long awaited 2010 National Football League schedule is out at last, making the coming season truly seem to be right around the corner.

As always, there is a great deal of speculation and analysis about tough schedules, easy schedules, etc., and that puts me in mind of a past moment in which I asked a coach to compare our schedule with that of a division opponent.
