One in a Row!

September 16th, 2009 - 7:03am by mark_cooperOther posts by mark_cooper

Little late getting this up. Was in Key West over the weekend at a Charity fishing tournament and was on the water both days. Came in Sunday to see the last few minutes of the game. Then was in the air all day Monday getting back to town and played catch up yesterday at the office.

Hmmm, take it any way we can get it. Yea, somewhat like the Patriots game Monday night….a little luck involved, but we’ll take it right?? They did too.

More Than A Miracle

On Sunday the Broncos showed why you never say, “Never.”

As improbable as the Broncos’ 12-7 win over the Bengals was, it is real. As miraculous as it was, it is truly happened. As unbelievable as it was, they are off to a 1-0 start.

Welcome to the great unknown.

Broncos at Bengals: Second Half Live Blog

Q3 15:00: Bengals will receive the second half kickoff. Andre Caldwell is back deep, but Prater sends him five-deep for the touchback.

Q3 14:57: Two short completions and the Bengals have a first down at the 34-yard line. Palmer is being victimized by his receivers dropping the ball, this time Jeremi Johnson drops the first down pass.

Q3 13:00: Third-and-seven, Palmer with running backs on each side, finds Coles… but he drops another one. Fourth down, and Eddie Royal is back for Huber’s kick. Royal looks for space, but doesn’t find much and there is a flag. But the refs pick up the flag, first down Broncos at the 14.

Q1 15:00: Peyton Hillis is back deep to receive the kickoff.

Q1 14:56: A jumbled, fumbled return for the Broncos, but they retain at the 20.
The Broncos offensive starters are Ryan Clady, Ben Hamilton, Casey Wiegmann, Russ Hochstein for the injured Chris Kuper, Ryan Harris, Daniel Graham, Brandon Stokley, Jabar Gaffney, Peyton Hillis, Correll Buckhalter and Kyle Orton at quarterback.

Q1 14:00: Sorry, Eddie Royal started not Stokley. Two big runs for the Broncos to start as Buckhalter goes for eight and then 14. First-and-ten at the 42.

**INJURY UPDATE** - Spencer Larsen is out with a shoulder injury. Not sure if it happened in pregame or on the opening kickoff.

Broncos vs. Bengals: Pregame Blog

Hello from Paul Brown Stadium on the banks of the Ohio River, near the beautiful state of Kentucky (sorry had to give some props to my home for many years). We will keep you updated throughout the day on the latest as the Broncos kick off the 2009 campaign for real. You can also follow us on Twitter and Facebook throughout the game.

It was interesting walking into the stadium this morning as we saw several familiar faces from this season’s “Hard Knocks” on HBO. Seems as though Chad Ochocinco’s catch-phrases are a hit amongst t-shirt makers. Dozens of “Kiss the Baby” and “Child Please” shirts were seen across the city as the buses pulled in.

Into The Great Unknown

It is time to stop talking and start playing. Thank goodness.

The Broncos open the 2009 regular season Sunday in Cincinnati. We will get an idea of where the Broncos stand after an off-season of change.

Deep down, I believe the Broncos will be better than many people, especially national “experts,” think they will. I know I hope they will be but ultimately, I don’t know.

Exciting In Its Own Right

On January 12, 2009, Head Coach Josh McDaniels was named the youngest head coach in the 50-year history of the Denver Broncos.

Eight months to the day later, he and the Broncos will be on a plane destined for Cincinnati — marking the start of the 2009 regular season and the start of at least 16 chances to showcase their work over that time span.

That day couldn’t come any sooner for McDaniels and the rest of the organization.

Ready and Able

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.

From Ourselves to Our Opponents

For Kyle Orton, the difference between the preseason and the regular season boils down to putting away the football mirror.

“We were still working so much on ourselves,” Orton said of the exhibition slate. “I think when you get to this point in the season, most teams are pretty much off of yourselves and moving right on to focusing totally on their opponent, and we are no different.”
