A Little O-Line Love

April 13th, 2010 - 9:31am by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

The New York Times NFL Blog — The Fifth Down — recently listed the top 10 players at each position along the offensive line.

At left tackle, right guard and right tackle, the Broncos got a lot of love.

The blog ranked Ryan Clady the No. 2 left tackle in the game. The reasoning: “Arguably the game’s most athletic lineman. Uncanny ability to recover instantly from mistakes (which, by the way, are few).”

Chris Kuper was listed as the No. 5 right guard in the league, due to his “excellent athleticism for his size. Quick, and lands well-placed blocks on the move.”

Ryan Harris cracked the top five at right tackle as well. The blog noted that he “moves with the dexterity of a left tackle.”

Later today, another Bronco or two will step to the podium, and we’ll have audio, video and a top story from the session. In addition, stay tuned, as the 2010 schedule could be released within the next week.

Taylor Added to Active Roster

December 29th, 2009 - 4:20pm by Zach EisendrathOther posts by Zach Eisendrath

With Russ Hochstein placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury against Philadelphia, tackle Herb Taylor has been added to the team’s 53-man active roster to provide the Broncos with depth on the offensive line.

Taylor was originally signed on Dec. 9 after Ryan Harris was placed on IR with a toe injury. He was waived by the club on Dec. 19 after Tony Carter was signed to the active roster.

Taylor was inactive for Week 14 against the Colts.

Hochstein and Kenny McKinley, who also suffered a knee injury against the Eagles, were officially placed on IR by the club on Tuesday. For more information, click here.

Stepping Back Into Starting Shoes

December 9th, 2009 - 4:18pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

After Wednesday’s announcement that Ryan Harris was placed on injured reserve, the majority of future reps at right tackle will belong to Tyler Polumbus.

A starter from Nov. 9 against Pittsburgh through Nov. 26 against the Giants, the Colorado alum has gradually made greater strides on one of the stronger lines in the league.

“He knows what we’re doing and he knows our system,” Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. “He communicates well with the other players and he’s playing beside good players. We think that we have a guy who’s getting better each week.”

Broncos Sign Taylor, Place Harris on IR

December 9th, 2009 - 9:51am by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

The Broncos have a new tackle in town, announcing the signing of free agent Herb Taylor on Wednesday. After leaving last Sunday’s game at Kansas City, Ryan Harris was also placed on injured reserve with a toe injury.

A third-year tackle, Taylor entered the league with the Chiefs as a sixth-round pick in then 2007 NFL Draft. He was waived by Kansas City at the end of the team’s 2009 training camp.

Taylor appeared in 18 games for the Chiefs, including all 16 contests last season. As a rookie in 2007, he appeared in two contests, was inactive for 11 games and dressed but did not play in three games.

A college stalwart at Texas Christian University, Taylor earned first-team All-Mountain West recognition during both his junior and senior seasons. He set a school record by making 48 consecutive starts and helped the Horned Frogs to a win in the Poinsettia Bowl during his senior season.

Committed to Communication

November 25th, 2009 - 3:30pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

Determined to return to their winning ways, the Broncos locker room recently took an off-the-field step in that direction.

Earlier this week, the team held a players-only meeting to discuss matters on their minds. The result of that get-together was greater clarity among everyone on the roster.

“Anytime you discuss things amongst each other, at least you get honest views,” Champ Bailey said. “Just talking to some of the guys, just yesterday and today, you kind of get a feel where everybody’s head is, because I think the most important thing is we need everybody on the same page. It is always good to talk to your teammates.”

Stopping the One-Two Punch

November 24th, 2009 - 4:31pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

With the beating running backs take on a weekly basis, having a one-two punch in the backfield serves as a great benefit.

Entering Week 12, the New York Giants are one of only two NFL teams to have a pair of top-20 rushers. Brandon Jacobs ranks 13th in the league with 656 rushing yards, while Ahmad Bradshaw sits in 20th place with 549 yards on the ground.

In turn, stopping that Giants tandem ranks near the top of the Broncos’ defensive priority list.

“They’re an explosive team — how they lost four in a row, I have no idea,” Mario Haggan said. “But seeing how Brandon Jacobs runs the ball, they have a change-up back with Ahmad Bradshaw, you’ve got Eli (Manning) back there — they’re definitely a good team.”

Forward Progress

November 16th, 2009 - 5:33pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

Through his first nine games as a pro, Knowshon Moreno’s versatility has surfaced early and often.

No rookie has recorded two 100-yard games from scrimmage — except for Moreno. He’s also set himself apart through the air, as the lone NFL newcomer with both a rushing and receiving touchdown this season.

Moreno turned in a career-high 97 rushing yards against Washington on 18 carries. Week by week, the rookie is improving in an area the Broncos stress to their backs — gaining yardage on every play.

“There were some plays where there wasn’t much there, but he didn’t go negative,” Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. “He went, got a yard, got a two-yard gain here or there and kept us in positive situations. That is something that he’s doing better and better as the year goes on.”

Harris Ruled Out for Monday Night Matchup

November 2nd, 2009 - 3:09pm by Zach EisendrathOther posts by Zach Eisendrath

Speaking with the media on Monday morning from Dove Valley, Head Coach Josh McDaniels said that starting tackle Ryan Harris will not be available for Week 9′s Monday Night Football matchup with the defending Super Bowl-champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I don’t know the whole entire prognosis,” McDaniels said. “I am meeting with Greek (Head Athletic Trainer Steve Antonopulos) here as soon as this is over, but he will not play this week.”

Harris left Sunday’s 30-7 loss to Baltimore in the first quarter with a toe injury. He was replaced for the remainder of the game by Tyler Polumbus.

Singletary’s 49ers, let’s GO!!

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

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!!

Training Camp Day 1: P.M. Blog

July 31st, 2009 - 9:32pm by Zach EisendrathOther posts by Zach Eisendrath

Day one of training camp has come to a close. The Broncos completed their first evening practice on a brisk night at Dove Valley, lasting just over two hours.

After enjoying ideal conditions for the morning practice — warm temperatures with a bit of shade — temperatures dropped considerably for the p.m. practice. Still, for the most part the weather again cooperated, as the team managed to avoided the rain that fell at Dove Valley for much of the afternoon.

Here are some tidbits from the team’s second practice of the day:
