The Right Approach

August 24th, 2012 - 7:58am by mike_riceOther posts by

Even though it is just preseason and the games do not count in the standings, there is something to be said for doing things the right way. The Broncos are doing things the right way.

Competitors want to win. While the 30-10 loss to Seattle will quickly fade from most of our memories, the Broncos did not like that losing feeling whatsoever.

“It’s always disappointing, whether it’s preseason or regular season, to lose a game,” Broncos Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway told 850 KOA on Thursday.

Head coach John Fox told us the same thing earlier in the week.

“Every time you throw it out there, you want to win. Obviously you feel better when you win,” Fox said.

Broncos vs. Seahawks: Quotables

August 19th, 2012 - 12:42am by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

Head Coach John Fox

On QB Peyton Manning’s performance
“I was pretty pleased with the first half. Other than the 0-3 turnover margin, I thought we did pretty good to take the lead 10-9 before the half. You would have liked it to be better as far as the points because we dropped a couple points off with filed position. Again, something to build on and something to get better from.”

On contemplating going on fourth down before the end of the half
“We thought about it but in these games, kind of based on first, you like to have the lead and you like to win when your ones are out there so the more sure thing was the field goal.”

On the defense in the first half
“I thought we were a little shoddier. We came in the game a little light on defense as well and that kind of showed as the game progressed but I think it’s fairly evident we have a lot of work to do in that area.”
