Training Camp Day 6 Report: A.M.

Players and coaches took the field this morning in near-perfect weather conditions. Smiles broke out all over the field with the sun shining, a cool breeze blowing in and a crowd of 2,012 fans watching from the grass.

Several veterans taking the morning session off presented chances for some young players to get extended reps.

The practice featured 11-on-11 drills with an emphasis on passing and red zone play.

The goal line drills dropped to walk-through speed as Head Coach Josh McDaniels said the team had just installed the packages into the playbook. (McDaniels did hint the team might have live goal line drills at Saturday night’s practice at INVESCO Field at Mile High Stadium.) The intensity returned for the final 11-on-11 drill of the day — a final minute comeback drive scenario led by Kyle Orton.

The Broncos are scheduled to return to the Dove Valley practice field for their second workout of the day at 5:30 p.m. McDaniels said the team will not be in full pads for the workout.

Resting Before The Stretch Run

October 21st, 2009 - 3:29pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by

For the next four days, the Broncos and football will have a chance to be separate entities.

After holding a film study on Wednesday morning, Head Coach Josh McDaniels released the players to embark on their bye-week break.

The team will have the time to rest and recuperate before resuming practice in preparation for the Ravens on Monday.

“We made some corrections today and talked about things we didn’t do very well in the game and tried to put that game behind us,” McDaniels said. “Now we’re moving on and the coaching staff’s going to do a few things here in the next few days and get ready for the next 10 weeks.”

Stepping Back In Time

They had seen pictures. They had heard a variety of different reviews.

On Friday, the Broncos got a first look at themselves in their 1960 retro uniforms.

Head Coach Josh McDaniels had the players practice in the new colors, getting them accustomed to the threads before Sunday’s Legacy Game against the Patriots. The full ensemble included the yellow jerseys, vertically striped yellow and brown socks, brown pants a brown helmet with numbers instead of a logo.

Ronald Fields was one of the first Broncos to try on the new look and his reactions were mixed.

“I don’t even know what to think anymore,” Fields laughed. “I thought our colors were blue, man. What’s up with this brown?”

Looking at the vertically striped socks, Matt Prater said the uniforms would add something fun to Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

“They’re pretty flashy,” Prater said of the socks. “I feel like a bumble bee in them but it’s different and it shouldn’t affect the game too much. You just play the game the same way and look a little different this time.”

Ready and Able

September 10th, 2009 - 2:45pm by Zach EisendrathOther posts by

Vonnie Holliday, who signed with the Broncos on Saturday, met with members of the media Thursday morning from inside the Broncos’ locker room, and the 12-year veteran addressed a number of topics.

First, Holliday explained the lengthy process that ended with him arriving in Dove Valley.

“I’d been in touch throughout the whole offseason (with Denver), ever since I was let go down in Miami, I’ve been in contact,” Holliday said. “I had a surgery in my knee back in the early part of January. I got a knee clean-up, so it’s just been a long process, and they just wanted to make sure I was healthy before coming in here.”

Now healthy, the 33-year-old is busy playing catch-up at team headquarters. Holliday said it was unfortunate he had to miss training camp due to injury, but — after a few days of work at the high altitude — said he feels like he is in good football shape.
