Here For The Long Haul

October 6th, 2009 - 12:25am by mike_riceOther posts by mike_rice

The confidence that Broncos’ Head Coach Josh McDaniels says has always resided in the hallways at team headquarters is now overflowing.

The Broncos are good.

No, they’re not a perfect team. And I don’t pretend to think they’ll go 16-0 in the regular season.

But my guess is they’re not going away, either.

Understandably, many people weren’t that impressed when the Broncos began the season with wins over the Bengals, Browns and Raiders.

Beat the Cowboys and people start to take notice.

DEFENSIVELY AWESOME!!!!! 4-0

October 5th, 2009 - 10:15pm by mark_cooperOther posts by mark_cooper

Wow was all I could say after the game…WOW!!! The Defense impressed me to no end. All over Tony Romo all day long and relentless. Tough not to take your mind off how they disrupted Romo and held the running backs to NO NUMBERS to speak of and sacked and harassed him all day.

I don’t have the stats in front of me and really don’t need them because they dominated the Cowboys offensive line and we dinked them like we talked about last week leading up to the game.

Broncos vs. Cowboys: Pregame Blog

October 4th, 2009 - 11:57am by Zach EisendrathOther posts by Zach Eisendrath

Greetings from INVESCO Field at Mile High, the location of this afternoon’s Week 4 matchup between the Cowboys (2-1) and Broncos (3-0). Keep it here today for the latest sights and sounds from the stadium. You can also follow us on Twitter and Facebook throughout the game.

This afternoon fans in attendance and those watching from home will notice an abundance of pink throughout the game, as both teams are taking part in the NFL’s Breast Cancer Awareness Inititaive.

In collaboration with the league-wide campaign, the Broncos have a number of items planned to publicize the national cause during today’s game. Pink breast cancer awareness ribbons have been stenciled onto both sidelines, and the foam supports on both goal posts are pink. A number of players are expected to sport pink wristbands and gloves, and a few are expected to take to the field donning pink cleats. We’ll keep you posted as players head out of the tunnel.

Keeping A Consistent Approach

October 2nd, 2009 - 2:39pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

Take a few steps back, then a few steps over. Raise one finger, with both eyes on the tee.

When Matt Prater lines up for a kickoff, it may look like he’s trying to kick the stuffing out of the ball. For Prater, that’s not necessarily the case.

“I don’t really think about it,” Prater said. “I just go out and try to hit it pretty solid. Don’t try to kill it but hit it pretty clean and get it down and give the guys a good opportunity to cover it.”

Former Teammates Set to Square Off

October 1st, 2009 - 2:34pm by Zach EisendrathOther posts by Zach Eisendrath

Having been teammates together at the University of Minnesota, Darrell Reid knows what Cowboys running back Marion Barber brings to the table just about better than anyone.

“He definitely prepares hard week in and week out and in the offseason,” Reid said. “If you just look at his physique and the type of runner he is, you’ve got to work hard to pound the ball like he does, to punish defenders like he does. He’s that type or running back. And at the same time he’s got great speed and great vision to go along with it.”

While Reid said the two are close friends, the two former Gophers will wait to reminisce until another time. For instance, they likely won’t be watching Minnesota’s border battle with Wisconsin on ESPN together on Saturday afternoon.

“I’m not big into hanging out with the team we’re playing before the game,” Reid said. “So probably won’t do that.”
