Departing Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler Leave Holes Behind Them

Published on: 19th April, 2010

Rejoice Broncos fans, the time has almost arrived. After a rough ending to the regular season, three months of the offseason, and a particularly cold winter season, spring is here and so is the 2010 NFL Draft. I can always tell that I'm excited because I find it impossible to sleep ...

Denver Broncos’ Remaining AFC West Games Will Make or Break Season

Published on: 30th November, 2009

We are 11 games into the NFL season and the Broncos still haven't figured out if they are Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde. They get crushed in their own backyard by the Chargers only to bounce back on four days rest and roll against the Giants. It seems that they can't ...

Step Up or Get Out: Denver’s Key Players at Washington

Published on: 13th November, 2009

Is it me, or is this year's team starting to remind anyone else a little bit of the 2006 Denver Broncos? Personally, I hate to make comparisons to old teams. What happened three years ago should have no relevance to what's going to happen for the rest of this season. Still, ...

When Things Fall Apart, Kyle Orton Can’t Pick Up the Pieces

Published on: 10th November, 2009

Last week following the Broncos' loss to the Ravens, my parents and I went on a walk. It was a beautiful day in suburban Littleton and I don't think any of us really felt like watching football anymore. Up the street and around the corner we went, and as we walked ...

Promising Broncos’ Keep On Truckin’, and Runnin’, Through Opponents

Published on: 28th September, 2009

Denver Broncos: Despite Last Minute Touchdown, New Look “D” Debuts Well

Published on: 15th September, 2009

It wasn't much more than a month ago that I predicted that the Broncos' defensive line didn't have the talent needed for the transition they were making to the 3-4. In fact, I basically expected them to be a bust right from the start. Okay. So it's going to take more ...

Kyle Orton’s Struggles Are All Part of the Process

Published on: 17th August, 2009

Truth be told, I got an email last week from B/R asking me to write a preview of all the top matchups that the Broncos are facing this season. Not only am I positive that someone has already written something like that before, but frankly, I just don't care ...

Denver’s Patchwork Defensive Line Could Kill The Season

Published on: 23rd July, 2009

Two years ago, Mike Shannahan hired Jim Bates to apply his two-gap 4-3 defense. The Broncos drafted linemen Jarvis Moss, Tim Crowder, and Marcus Thomas and signed free agents Sam Adams and Simeon Rice. Unfortunately the changes didn't live up to the hype, as Denver finished 30th in rushing defense and ...
