Broncos at Cardinals: Third Quarter Notes

August 29th, 2008 - 9:46pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: Prater is set to kickoff to Morey and Urban.

Urban takes it five-yards deep in the endzone and kneels for a touchback. Cardinals will start at their 20, and Brian St. Pierre is now in at quarterback.

14:07: After two incomplete passes and a short run, the Cardinals are forced to punt after gaining just three yards. Marquay McDaniel is back deep to receive the punt. McDaniel takes it at the 29 and advances it five yards before being taken down. Hackney leads the Broncos back onto the field, starting at their own 34.

13:24: Alridge is still carrying the load, taking another rush up the middle for nine yards before being taken down.

12:20: Alridge had another solid gain around the left end, but a holding penalty wiped it out, giving the Broncos a 2nd-and-20 from their own 36.

11:46: Alridge got another touch, this one a screen from Hackney that goes for eight yards. After a false start penalty on Chad Mustard, the Broncos faced a third-and-long but couldn’t complete a pass. Kern comes back out for another punt. Kern kicks 39 yards, and the ball is fair-caught at the Arizona 22.

Broncos at Cardinals: Second Quarter Notes

August 29th, 2008 - 8:45pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: First play of the second quarter is a handoff from Leinart to J.J. Arrington for a one-yard gain. The Cardinals face a third-and-long from deep in their own territory. He could have been sacked in the endzone, but Leinart steps up and connects with Jerheme Urban for a 23-yard gain and a first down.

12:30: Leinart completes a deep ball down the right hash to Urban for 35 yards, who beat Foxworth on the route, moving the Cardinals into the redzone.

11:30: Leinart hits Leonard Pope on a high pass in the middle of the endzone for a 17-yard touchdown. Cardinals take the lead, 7-3.

11:20: Alridge continues to get the majority of the carries, taking the first carry of this series six yards. He follows it up with a one-yard run, setting up third-and-three. Hackney scrambles for the first down to keep the Denver offense in business.

11:25: Rackers kicks off to Alridge and Russell, and Alridge takes it a few yards deep in the endzone. He hesitates at first, but then charges out, getting to the 26-yard line before being taken down.

Broncos at Cardinals: Pregame Notes

August 29th, 2008 - 6:19pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

5:20 MST: Less than two hours to kickoff for the Broncos final preseason contest of 2008. Players are starting to migrate out onto the field.

The Denver starters are expected to sit this one out, letting their backups get their most significant action. Arizona, on the other hand, is expected to play their starters for at least a portion of the game.

I’ll keep y’all updated as more and more guys make their way onto the field to warm up. But first, there was already a little bit of interesting action as several Broncos who will not play had a field goal kicking competition. Jay Cutler and Casey Wiegmann both nailed 40-yarders, while Ryan Clady missed. Jay then backed it up to 45, and he boomed it nice and straight, but it fell just a few feet short.

Practice Quick Hits: 8/27

August 27th, 2008 - 3:13pm by Jake GrilleyOther posts by

The Broncos are heading to Phoenix tomorrow in preparation for the team’s final preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals Friday evening. With the starters expected to sit out or see very limited playing time, Second and third team players will take the field trying to earn the team a victory. Quarterback Darrell Hackney spoke to reporters after practice about what his mindset is heading into Arizona.

“It’s just another opportunity to play football –looking forward to showing people what I can do,” Hackney said. “We beat Arizona last year and we are trying to do the same thing this year – just going out there to play and have fun.”

Practice Quick Hits: 8/26

August 26th, 2008 - 2:26pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

After a walk-through this morning before their afternoon practice, Champ Bailey and Patrick Ramsey talked with the media.

Both men suffered minor setbacks during the preseason — Bailey sat out some of training camp with a hamstring that was bothering him, and Ramsey hurt his arm on his last play in the Green Bay game last Friday.

Both men also said they’re feeling better, however. “I’m good,” Bailey said. “It hasn’t bothered me so I’m pretty good right now.”

“I just didn’t know when I first got hit — I had no idea what it was that was hurting because everything just went numb,” Ramsey said.

The quarterback said his arm limited him in practice yesterday, but he was hoping to go out and feel better this afternoon. He still expects to play in the final preseason game at Arizona Friday.

“That’s kind of one thing I said to my coaches, if I can I’d like to go ahead and go, just to stay sharp because it’s that much closer to if I play in the regular season.”

Broncos vs. Packers: Fourth Quarter Notes

August 22nd, 2008 - 9:21pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: With a fourth-and-goal from just a few inches out, the Broncos will go for it. Head Coach Mike Shanahan and Cutler both talked with Patrick Ramsey before the teams retook the field for the opening play of the fourth quarter.

15:00: Ramsey attempted to hit Clifford Russell in the back of the endzone but couldn’t make the connection as the ball passed in and out of Russell’s hands. Turnover-on-downs, and the Packers have the ball at their own one.

13:45: The Packers failed to get a first down, and with a fourth-and-three from their own eight, Jon Ryan comes in to punt the ball away. Martinez bobbled the punt, but managed to pick it up and return it 11 yards to the Packer 46-yard line.

13:30: Ramsey fires deep down the right sideline for Colbert, who made a nice adjustment to get to the ball, but he was hit hard by Jarrett Bush and couldn’t hold on.

Broncos vs. Packers: Third Quarter Notes

August 22nd, 2008 - 8:44pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: Clifford Russell and Glenn Martinez back deep for the second-half kickoff. It doesn’t look like we’ll see the starters anymore, as Marshall and Champ just now came out of the tunnel without pads on. I have not even spotted Cutler yet.

14:55: Martinez takes the kickoff out to the 20, and Ramsey does indeed come out onto the field to lead the offense. Marquand Manuel was shaken up on the kickoff, but he just got up and is walking off the field.

13:48: Ramsey gets hit as he throws on third-and-seven, and the pass is batted down by Aaron Kampman. Kern comes out to punt and he booms it 59 yards. But Kern’s long punt amounted to little, as Blackmon returns it 43 yards to the Denver 40.

Broncos vs. Packers: Second Quarter Notes

August 22nd, 2008 - 7:45pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: The Broncos defense forced a punt, and the Packers were able to down the punt inside the one-yard line. Cutler and co. will come out to start their drive from deep in their own territory.

14:32: The Broncos face a third-and-eight from their own two-yard line. Cutler fakes a handoff and then hits Peyton Hillis, who breaks out of a tackle and trucks his way for 15 yards. First down Denver.

12:30: Andre Hall bursts up the middle for 18 yards and another first down. Selvin Young comes in to give him a breather.

11:25: Facing a third-and-short, Young powers up the middle for some tough yardage, getting the first down and moving out close to midfield.

9:20: The Broncos continue down the field, and on a first-and-10, Cutler fires at Royal. Al Harris had great coverage, blanketing him and batting down the ball. It was close, but no penalty called. The crowd booed, however.
