Broncos En Español Draws Capacity Crowd

September 19th, 2012 - 9:44pm by Tyler EverettOther posts by

On Wednesday, the Broncos reached out to their Hispanic fan base with Broncos En Español, a free event that featured autographs and photos with players and alumni, along with inflatable obstacle courses and targets for the kids and karaoke.

The players in attendance were fullback Chris Gronkowski, safety Quinton Carter and guard Manny Ramirez. Also signing autographs Wednesday evening were Broncos alumni including Billy Thompson and Vance Johnson.

For Ramirez, whose parents are Mexican, it was a great opportunity to connect with people from a similar background.

“My parents are originally from Mexico so any time I get an opportunity to come out here in Colorado to support my culture, I’m always happy to do it,” Ramirez said. “Always good times.”

Broncos Getting Healthy

August 20th, 2012 - 12:09pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Monday’s practice session brought some good news for the Broncos on the injury front.

Safety Quinton Carter was back on the practice field for the first time since injuring his hamstring and knee all the way back on July 27, the second day of training camp. He participated in individual drills at the start of practice.

Also back were cornerback Tracy Porter, who missed most of last week’s practices due to an illness, linebacker Danny Trevathan — his first practice since injuring his ankle in the team’s preseason opener at Chicago on Aug. 9 — and running back Ronnie Hillman, who hasn’t played in either of the team’s preseason games with a hamstring injury.

Early in team drills, Hillman made a couple of long catch-and-run plays out of the backfield.

Linebacker Keith Brooking and safety Jim Leonhard, who are not participating in Monday’s practice, were on the field, working off to the side with Head Athletic Trainer Luke Richesson.

We’ll have plenty more from practice, including the full roll call, after the session concludes.

Adams: ‘It Just Felt Right’

March 15th, 2012 - 4:53pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

It didn’t take free agent safety Mike Adams very long to decide Denver was the place for him.

“It is a great fit for me,” he said Thursday. “The atmosphere is good and it felt right. I didn’t have to take any more (visits), it just felt right.”

He laughed that the 70-degree weather didn’t hurt, especially coming from Cleveland.

But most of all, he appreciated the warmth he felt from everyone he met on the visit, from Owner/CEO Pat Bowlen to Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway to Head Coach John Fox.

“I knew of Fox when he was with the Giants,” Adams said. “I was born and raised in Paterson, NJ, and I heard nothing but good things about him. Even when he went to Carolina – nothing but good things about him. It was proven once we all met today and it was a no-brainer to not take any more visits and just stay here.”

Notebook: Hochstein Stepping Up

January 10th, 2012 - 5:14pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

In Sunday’s win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the offensive line took pride in its performance.

Tim Tebow wasn’t sacked, the offense picked up 131 yards on the ground and the unit did it without one of its leaders.

“We miss Kup (Chris Kuper) terribly,” said Russ Hochstein, who took over Kuper’s right guard spot. “He was a phenomenal leader here and we miss him a lot. We wish (the injury) wouldn’t have happened, but I just have tried to step in and play the role that I’m supposed to and that’s to help out in situations like this. I’m just trying to play the best I can, trying to play mistake-free and help the guys out on both sides of me.”

Head Coach John Fox said Hochstein did “a great job” doing just that, and Willis McGahee agreed.

“Russ did an awesome job filling in for Kuper,” McGahee said Monday. “I don’t think there was really a dropoff even though Kuper is a big part of our offense.”

Part of that can be attributed to Hochstein’s experience.

Broncos Get Field Goal Following Interception

January 8th, 2012 - 4:00pm by Kenny LeganOther posts by

Make that 17 points unanswered for the Broncos.

After Tebow’s rushing touchdown, the Steelers took over on their own 20-yard line. However, after a 9-yard sack by defensive end Robert Ayers on second-and-7, Roethlisberger threw an interception over the middle to safety Quinton Carter, who returned it nine yards to the Steelers 18 yard-line.

From there, the offense drove all the way to the 2-yard line with help from a roughing-the-passer penalty on James Harrison, but on third-and-goal, Tebow rolled left and his pass to Matthew Willis at the front pylon was broken up.

Kicker Matt Prater came up and split the uprights with a 20-yard field goal attempt to give Denver a 17-6 lead with 7:33 left in the second quarter.

Carter’s First Sack Stops Patriots

December 18th, 2011 - 4:21pm by Kenny LeganOther posts by

The Patriots got the ball to start the second half looking to extend their 11-point lead.

But Quinton Carter came up with a big play when the Broncos needed it.

After an illegal hands to the face penalty gave New England a fresh set of downs on third-and-24 from their own 6-yard line, the Patriots drove down to the Denver 45-yard line. However, on third-and-7, Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen dialed up a blitz, and Carter got to Brady for his first career sack.

After a punt, the Broncos take over on their own 11-yard line, looking to put a solid drive together after ending the last three drives with two fumbles and a punt.

Building on a Win

October 28th, 2011 - 9:25am by Rahim MooreOther posts by

Last Sunday was good. We believed and guys just made a commitment. We know that we can make things happen, but it’s going out there and showing it with our actions. I’m proud of our team and I want this to continue. I don’t want us to be a one-hit wonder.

I’m glad we got the win. That’s behind us so we’re just trying to keep that building and keep going forward.

How do we keep it going? Just always remember how that felt and before you suit up, just always thinking that I want to feel that same way again, week-in and week-out. I’m proud of this team, how we overcame some things. We finished strong and won the game. All those things play hand-in-hand and I’m just happy for our team, our organization and also happy for Mr. Bowlen to give him that 400th win.
