Broncos at Seahawks: Pregame Blog

August 22nd, 2009 - 6:32pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest and the second preseason game of 2009. Nice day in Seattle, with a bit of a breeze starting to pick up. Below is the game day weather for here in Seattle.

Broncos – Seahawks Weather report

Several Broncos have taken the field as have a large number of Seahawks. We will be back shortly with some pregame photos.

5:48 p.m. PDT: An exhibition football game is starting at the 40-yard line as the Broncos and Seahawks warmup behind them. I can’t tell for sure, but it looks to be a women’s league. Several Seahawks are now giving their full attention to the game.

Not A Bad Start

August 16th, 2009 - 9:41pm by mike_riceOther posts by

The focal point of the Broncos’ 17-16 loss to San Francisco in the pre-season opener will undoubtedly be the three interceptions that starting quarterback Kyle Orton threw in the first half.

We all know interceptions aren’t good. Even after the game, Kyle was a stand-up guy when he spoke with us on the 850 KOA post-game show.

“I pride myself on my decisions and I certainly made a couple I’d like to have back,” Orton said.

This isn’t the regular season yet. It is the preseason. For that matter, it was the first game of the preseason. No one, most of all Orton himself, wanted to see the interceptions. But I’ll put those aside for now. I thought the offense did some good things, even in the first half.

No Panic…..it’s Early

August 16th, 2009 - 9:18pm by mark_cooperOther posts by

Here’s what I know about preseason:

It’s shorter.
Guys have only been hitting for only a few weeks.
Offense always takes longer to jell than defense.
Many mistakes get made in the early games.
New offense, new defense — could take a while to get in a groove.
Have patience.
Controversy sells newspapers and fills airtime on talk radio.

Broncos at 49ers: Second Half Live Blog

August 14th, 2009 - 9:38pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

15:00: Kenny McKinley returns the kickoff to start the second half, taking it 24 yards out to the 39-yard line.

14:10: Chris Simms is in at quarterback, and Peyton Hillis takes the carry on first down, picking up three yards. The offensive line consists of Tyler Polumbus, Matt McChesney, Kory Lichtensteiger, Seth Olsen and Brandon Gorin. Richard Quinn is in at tight end, and Brandon Lloyd, Chad Jackson and Nate Swift at receiver. Hillis is in the backfield.

14:07: After a San Francisco timeout, it’s 2nd-and-7 for Denver at its own 42-yard line. Hillis takes the carry up the middle of the line and powers his way for close to a first down. It’s marked just short, setting up a 3rd-and-1.

13:30: With Spencer Larsen leading the way at fullback, Hillis takes the carry up the right side of the line for a four-yard gain and a first down.

Broncos at 49ers: First Half Live Blog

August 14th, 2009 - 8:05pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Pregame:For those of you who have checked out our live blogs in the past, we’ll be doing things slightly differently this year. As you might have noticed, we’re using a new program that should update the posts for you automatically. If it seems like it’s been a while since the last update, just refresh the page like you normally would. The other difference is that we will only have a first half and second half live blog as opposed to dividing it up into four quarters.

And now, without further adieu…let’s get the 2009 campaign started.

15:00: Here we go. The captains are on the field — Daniel Graham, D.J. Williams, Mario Haggan, Champ Bailey, Kenny Peterson and Ben Hamilton are representing the Broncos.

San Francisco has won the toss and elects to receive. Matt Prater and the Broncos are on the field to kick off.

14:57: Players on both teams are jumping up and down on the sidelines as the game gets underway. The Niners are at their own 22 after the Prater kick.

Broncos at 49ers: Pregame Blog

August 14th, 2009 - 6:10pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Here we are at the top of Candlestick Park, sitting in the press box. The first preseason game of the Broncos’ 2009 campaign kicks off in two hours, and you can already sense the anticipation.

Plenty of Broncos are already out on the field warming up, many of whom have on their uniform pants. Ben Hamilton, Joshua Bell, Nate Swift and Lonie Paxton are just a few of the players tossing the ball around, jogging and stretching.

There aren’t any fans in the stadium quite yet, but there could be quite a crowd — as it’s a beautiful day for football. In fact, here’s a weather report for the game:

Singletary’s 49ers, let’s GO!!

August 13th, 2009 - 8:36pm by mark_cooperOther posts by

Hi all,

Don’t know if it’s me or my tech skills but I haven’t been able to see the post or responses to the last post that had Mondono on the cover with a nice fish. Hopefully you can tell me after I post this.

NINERS tomorrow and it looks like Harris is in good shape and I’m excited to see what we put on the field. Full compliment of running backs and some (ALMOST) ALL new faces on D.

I never get to excited but this years going to be like watching a new team all together. I don’t know about you but I almost have that weird pre-game nervousness to how we do.

Here’s my overview. IF we can stay healthy and Coach McDaniels delivers what I think he is going to deliver, we control the ball and keep the defense off the field and we win more than we don’t win. (never use the L word).

What do you think? Am I losing it or are you with me? I have to go with Mondono’s (TIME OF POSSESSION) mantra more this year than ever.

Go Broncos!!

Looking Back at Some Preseason Firsts

August 12th, 2009 - 10:39am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

The Denver Broncos will play their first preseason game of 2009 on Friday night at San Francisco’s storied Candlestick Park. With a new head coach in Josh McDaniels and a bevy of new players, the CBS4 television audience promises to be a huge one.

It would be in any case, but particularly so with all the new elements thrown into the mix.

But……

It wasn’t always that way.

More Than Just Another Preseason Opener

August 12th, 2009 - 12:29am by mike_riceOther posts by

The building process continues for the 2009 Denver Broncos. This week, Head Coach Josh McDaniels released the first depth chart of training camp. While a part of me believes too much is made of the depth chart, especially the first one, I also find it fun to look it over.

Some impressions:

1) There aren’t any huge surprises. There is no 2009 Mike Bell, the free agent running back who found himself atop the depth chart a few seasons ago. Mario Haggan listed at first team outside linebacker is probably the most unexpected placing.

Broncos at Cardinals: Fourth Quarter Notes

August 29th, 2008 - 10:24pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: A shout-out to our own Margot Kelly, a PR intern experiencing her last game as a Bronco. Best of luck in all your future endeavors!

First play of the fourth quarter is a Hackney pass to Brett Pierce for a big gain and a first down, setting up the Broncos at the Arizona 23.

13:00: On a third-and-three, Pittman is taken down in the backfield for a loss of two. Prater comes out to try and narrow the lead with a 33-yarder, but a false start penalty backs the Broncos up. Prater goes for a 38-yarder, and it’s good. 14-13, Arizona up by one.

12:06: Prater kicks off, and it is yet another touchback. The Cardinals starting field position has almost always been at their own 20 or worse, courtesy of the Denver specialists.
