Broncos Add Berger, Waive Kern

October 26th, 2009 - 12:11pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

Fresh off their bye week break, the Broncos have added a new veteran face to boost them for the stretch run.

The team signed 16-year veteran punter Mitch Berger on Monday, it was announced. To make room for Berger on the roster, the club waived second-year punter Brett Kern.

A University of Colorado alum, Berger joins the Broncos after winning a Super Bowl with the Steelers last season. With Pittsburgh, he played a key role in the field position game, holding opponents to 6.4 yards per punt return. Berger also has stints with Arizona (2007), New Orleans (2003-05), St. Louis (2002), Minnesota (1996-2001), Chicago (1995) and Philadelphia (1994).

Cards Roundup - Roster Week

September 6th, 2009 - 8:31am by mark_cooperOther posts by mark_cooper

Now that’s what I’m talking about. Turnovers, ball control and gang tackling. I saw a lot of progress out there. I also saw Brandstater behind a second O-line and they did a real nice job.

Sure, all the starters weren’t on the field at the same time but I liked what I saw from a QB that had limited snaps up to this point.

BIG WEEK in anticipation of the opener and what you will see is the speed of the game “click” up a notch…watch and tell me if you see it.
