Winning is Always the Key

Getting that first win was cool. It was a blessing. I just feel blessed and honored to be able to share it with a group of guys that I have love for in this organization. Just overall it’s always a good feeling.

I was thankful for Coach Fox’s first win as the Broncos’ coach, and we players need to make sure he has many more to come. Because he deserves it.

The game came down to a drive in the fourth quarter, and the defense had to step up. It was just a point in time in the game where big-time playmakers made big-time plays in big-time situations. Wilhite, Von, the whole defense, we came together and we made it happen. But it all started off when the offense set the tone for us. Overall it was great execution on both sides of the ball.

Tough Running

The postgame stat sheet showed that the Broncos rushed for 47 yards on 18 carries in Sunday’s loss to the Colts at INVESCO Field at Mile High. When analyzing the game film of the team’s first home loss of the 2010 season, Head Coach Josh McDaniels saw squandered chances for the offense to bump up its 2.6 yards per carry average.

“We had opportunities yesterday in the running game that we did not take advantage of — no question about it,” McDaniels said Monday morning. “That is not aimed at one specific player. I have said it a million times that your ability to run the ball effectively is a combination of a lot of people doing their job the right way.”

His teammate in the backfield, Correll Buckhalter, is nominated for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week after notching his first 100-yard rushing game as a Bronco, finishing with 14 carries for 108 yards.

You can vote for both players at NFL.com here and here.

3-0 Makes For A Fun Start

September 28th, 2009 - 7:16pm by mark_cooperOther posts by

Funny how the papers changed directions today with a headline of 3-0, NO JOSHING….gotta love it. Little different tune than the preseason, huh.

I LOVE BEATING THE RAIDERS, so my season will be complete with another win against them. :o )

O.K. not quite, but it sure makes me smile hard and I loved the jawing that went on before and during the game.

Broncos at Raiders: Second Half Live Blog

September 27th, 2009 - 3:43pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

15:00: Eddie Royal takes a knee in the end zone after fielding the opening kickoff to start the second half.

14:25 A five-yard gain on a run by Knowshon Moreno followed by a 10-yard gain on a pass from Kyle Orton to Daniel Graham sets up the Broncos with a first down at their own 35-yard line.

13:00: Moreno picks up nine yards on his first-down carry, and then Correll Buckhalter keeps the chains moving by making some people miss and bursting forward for a 23-yard gain on second down.

12:26: Russ Hochstein is in at left guard in place of starter Ben Hamilton. There’s not an official word on Hamilton’s status, but Hochstein is in.

11:50: Richard Seymour is hit with a 15-yard personal foul penalty after some extra-curricular activity with Ryan Clady after the play, including pulling his hair long after the whistle had blown. That sets up the Broncos with a first down at the Oakland 14-yard line.

START OF GAME: The Broncos won the toss and elected to defer to the second half. The Raiders will receive to start the game. Matt Prater is on the field to kick off.

15:00: After Prater’s kick goes for a touchback, the Raiders start their first drive at their own 20-yard line. The Broncos defense has taken the field to start the game, and the starters are Kenny Peterson, Ronald Fields and Ryan McBean on the line, Mario Haggan, D.J. Williams, Andra Davis and Elvis Dumervil at linebacker, Champ Bailey and Andre’ Goodman at cornerback and Brian Dawkins and Renaldo Hill closing out the unit at safety.

13:07: Andra Davis meets Darren McFadden after a gain of one on the first play of the game. On the second play, JaMarcus Russell tries to throw a quick pass out to McFadden, who was met immediately and fumbled. The Raiders recovered however, and were left with a 3rd-and-13. The defense made the stop after an eight-yard pass from Russell and the Raiders have a quick three-and-out to start the contest.

12:54: Now the Broncos offense is on the field, with Kyle Orton at the helm. At running back is Correll Buckhalter. The wide receivers are Eddie Royal and Jabar Gaffney. Daniel Graham and Tony Scheffler are at tight end. The offensive line is the normal unit — Ryan Clady, Ben Hamilton, Casey Wiegmann, Chris Kuper and Ryan Harris.

Here we are at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, and there is still a baseball infield that takes up most of the field. Nothing is painted in the end zone or at the 50-yard line, as the Oakland Athletics’ season isn’t quite over.

Lots of players warming up on the field, and it is hot and fairly humid here in Oakland. Looks like a clock is counting down on the scoreboard until the stands open for fans — just about 20 minutes left until The Black Hole starts to fill up.

Knowing The Opposition

While rookie Robert Ayers is new to the Broncos-Raiders rivalry, he is far from new to the talent on the Oakland sideline.

Ayers’ battles against JaMarcus Russell and Darren McFadden date back to their college days as rivals in the Southeastern Conference.
