A Familiar Foe

October 7th, 2011 - 12:54pm by Willis McGaheeOther posts by Willis McGahee

Looking forward to this Sunday when we get a shot at another team in the division.

I think a win would be a big turning point for us, and it would be a great way for us to go into our bye week with a lot of confidence.

Having played in the AFC, I’m pretty familiar with the Chargers. I know what’s going on. That’s the good thing about me having played in the conference — I’ve gone up against them a couple times.

They’ve just got great players. Takeo Spikes, Shaun Phillips, Quentin Jammer, all those guys on defense, we’ve got to prepare to be able to stop those guys and make sure they don’t disrupt our passing and running games.

I’m looking to keep it up this week, because it’s all about having fun. So stay tuned.

Bailey: ‘I’m Playing’

October 6th, 2011 - 4:18pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

For the second straight day, Champ Bailey participated fully in practice.

That painted a hopeful picture, but the Pro Bowl cornerback made it even clearer after practice.

“I’m playing,” he said. “Period.”

He admitted that there are “little things” that he’ll have to overcome, but maintained that he’ll be on the field Sunday when the Chargers come to town.

“Huge,” Brian Dawkins said. “I can’t overstate the fact of what he means to us as a defense and as a teammate, period. What he brings, when I look over to my left and see him standing out there, there’s a confidence level that he just gives that I can’t explain.”

The Champ is Back

October 5th, 2011 - 5:04pm by Kenny LeganOther posts by Kenny Legan

After a three game absence, it looks like the Broncos Pro Bowl cornerback is set to make his return.

Champ Bailey has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury. His progress has been steady and deliberate as he made the trips to both Tennessee and Green Bay over the last two weeks, but did not play in the contests.

However, he participated fully in practice Wednesday for the first time since he injured his hamstring in the Week 1 game against the Oakland Raiders, and Head Coach John Fox sounded optimistic that Bailey will be on the field when the Broncos take on the Chargers in a divisional matchup this week at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

Rivers, Turner Talk Trip to Denver

October 5th, 2011 - 3:24pm by Max HensonOther posts by Max Henson

After preparing for an uncommon opponent in the Packers — a team they hadn’t faced in 4 years –- the Denver Broncos are now getting set for a meeting with a squad they’re very familiar with.

The division-rival San Diego Chargers travel to Denver Sunday and they enter the contest off to a hot start, boasting a 3-1 record.

“It’s definitely a better first quarter than we’ve had in the past years,” quarterback Philip Rivers said in a conference call earlier. “We still have to keep getting better. We certainly haven’t played our best yet, but it is nice to be winning as we are improving.”

Learning From Our Mistakes

October 4th, 2011 - 4:59pm by Rahim MooreOther posts by Rahim Moore

Last Sunday was my first taste in seeing a great offense like this. That’s no slight against all the offenses we’ve played against – the Packers are just a great team. They are the defending Super Bowl champions. The thing about this week is that I learned some things that I need to improve on and I also see some things that I did better at.

One thing is I grabbed my first interception. But you know what? I wasn’t happy – I didn’t even smile, because I know that there were some other opportunities I left out there on the field, and that is my fault. And I wasn’t happy because when you’re losing, you shouldn’t crack a smile at all. So after that thing happened, I just brushed it off. I really didn’t care, because I wanted to win the game. Green Bay played a great game and we learned from our mistakes.

October 4th, 2011 - 3:24pm by Kenny LeganOther posts by Kenny Legan

Every Tuesday at 2 p.m. MDT, DenverBroncos.com airs ‘Elway Live,’ a live half-hour audio show. Host Chris Hall of Broncos TV sat down with Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway Tuesday afternoon for the third episode of the online-streamed audio broadcast that features fan-submitted questions for Elway.

During the show, Elway talked about just how good Aaron Rodgers was against the Broncos Sunday.

“I’m not sure a quarterback can have a better day than Aaron had on Sunday,” Elway said. “He’s a guy with great athletic ability, tremendous accuracy when he throws the football, and I think those who watched the football game saw that every ball he threw hit them right on the numbers.”

Q3 15:00: Both teams are back on the field. The opening kick of the second half, which the Broncos will receive, is coming shortly.

Q3 14:59: Eddie Royal is back deep to take Cundiff’s kick off. He broke it out to his own 35-yard line after taking it near the goal line. That’s where the Broncos offense will take over. Orton continues his hot end to the first half with a 25-yard pass to Brandon Lloyd. Laurence Maroney ran for three yards on first down. On second down, Orton fired incomplete. His third down pass for Dan Gronkowski fell incomplete and the Broncos punted. Colquitt’s punt bounced inside the Ravens 20 and bounced backward and out of bounds at the Ravens 22-yard line. It’s a 15-yard punt.

COIN TOSS: The captains have gone to midfield for today’s coin toss. Champ Bailey, D.J. Williams, Brian Dawkins, Chris Kuper, Wesley Woodyard and Daniel Graham are the players present. The Broncos chose “heads” and won the turf. They have deferred. Baltimore will receive to start the game.
