Broncos vs. Browns: Pregame Notes

November 6th, 2008 - 4:44pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

NFL Live

6:11 p.m. EST: Good evening from the Cleveland Browns Stadium press box on the shores of Lake Erie as the Broncos prepare to take on the Cleveland Browns.

So far this season you have mostly heard from Gray Caldwell and Adam Zinser in our Live Game Blog, but tonight I am taking over the reigns. Hopefully I can live up to their high standards.

The web team and I have had an enjoyable trip so far in Cleveland. Last night we were able to check out the Cavs – Bulls game. Not sure if you have heard of this player that the Cavs have named LeBron James. I think he might have a good future in the NBA. We were all “WITNESS” to him dropping 41 points.

As most of your know, tonight’s game is being broadcast on the NFL Network. They have their studio set-up right near the Broncos bench and cameras all over the field. Mostly covering every move that Jay Cutler and Brady Quinn make.

Hackney Elevated; Murphy Waived

November 1st, 2008 - 11:15am by Adam ZinserOther posts by

For those of you wondering about the backup quarterback situation, Head Coach Mike Shanahan just announced that Darrell Hackney has been signed from the practice squad to the active roster. He will now be the backup to Jay Cutler.

Shanahan also announced that the team waived tackle Matt Murphy, whom they signed Monday.

The 6-foot-0, 248-pound Hackney has been on the team’s practice squad for the first eight weeks of the season. In 2007, he spent the final eight weeks on the active roster, but he has yet to see action in a regular season NFL contest.

In four games this preseason, including starting the final preseason contest at Arizona, Hackney completed 24-of-38 passes for 285 yards and one touchdown to no interceptions.

Broncos at Patriots: Fourth Quarter Notes

October 20th, 2008 - 9:03pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: The start of the fourth was delayed with an injury to Rodney Harrison. He was just carted off the field.

The Broncos face a third-and-two at the New England 18.

Pittman carries around the right end for the first down.

14:30: Cutler fires to Royal, who misses one defender but is taken down by the second. It’s a gain of four.

14:00: Pittman gets the carry up the middle, and he is taken down for a loss of one. That brings up third-and-seven at the New England 10.

13:30: Cutler fires across the middle to Daniel Graham, who spins away from the defender and gets into the endzone for Denver’s first score. 34-7, Patriots.

Bailey Ready to Cover Moss

October 17th, 2008 - 4:41pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

Friday marks the final full day of preparation for Monday’s upcoming contest against the New England Patriots.

It also marks the day that Champ Bailey typically takes time to speak at the media from his locker, and today was no exception. Like his counterpart Dre’ Bly, Bailey finds it unusual to be preparing for a Patriots squad without Tom Brady.

“I mean it is different because Brady is such a big time quarterback,” Bailey said.

Defense Preps for Cassel

October 16th, 2008 - 4:22pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

As the Broncos prepare for their matchup against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football, there is one glaring difference between the 2008 Patriots and the team from the past several years — No. 12 is not under center.

It will be Matt Cassel at the helm instead of Tom Brady, last year’s league MVP.

Dre’ Bly looks at the Patriots offense and thinks it’s weird not seeing Brady back there. Brady has always been consistent, even when the Patriots did not have as much offensive firepower as they do now.

Work in Progress

October 12th, 2008 - 9:30pm by mike_riceOther posts by

The facts cannot be ignored:

–The Broncos committed three turnovers against the Jaguars and failed to convert a fourth-and-one situation.

–The defense allowed Jacksonville two relatively easy (and long) touchdown drives in the third quarter.

–The Broncos committed a couple of costly, not to mention controversial, penalties.

–The Broncos came up short and lost to Jacksonville. We have talked in the past about the bottom line. It holds true here.

Facing A Two-Headed Monster

October 10th, 2008 - 2:38pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

The Jaguars have had one of the top running games in the league over the past several years, and with Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor in the backfield, it’s no wonder why.

But so far in 2008, they have struggled. In last week’s game against Pittsburgh, the Jaguars’ two-headed running attack combined for just 26 total yards on the ground. The Broncos’ defense remembers last year’s game against the Jags, however, so they know not to underestimate them.

“We still know the talent they have,” D.J. Williams told reporters after Friday’s practice. “Just cause last week they only had 26 yards doesn’t mean they’re not capable of coming in and running for 100 or 200 yards. But that’s our job – to stop them from doing that.”
