Keeping tabs on key performers who once bled orange and blue. Mike Shanahan Record: 1-2 Streak: Lost 2 Stat Line: Offense: 340.0 ypg (13th). Defense: 423.7 ypg (32nd) It was a rough week for Mike Shanahan. Shanahan’s ‘Skins became the first team to lose to the St. Louis Rams in St. Louis’ Edward Jones Dome […]

Once upon a time — 2008 — the Mike Shanahan-led Denver Broncos were 8-5, boasted Pro Bowlers Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, and were apparently playoff-bound. The future was bright. Then, in three horrific weeks, the wheels fell off. Shanahan was fired. Cutler was traded. And Marshall pretended to be a punter. For better or […]

Broncos greats Terrell Davis and Steve Atwater are “interning” with Mike Shanahan in Washington.  Warning: some of these images are disturbing. Champ Bailey is firmly rooted in Josh McDaniels‘ corner. Woody Paige, trying to dethrone Kyle Orton as starting quarterback?  Nooo…. Wednesday p.m. practice report: Brandon Stokley continues to shine, and LB Joe Mays earns […]

How bad is the Denver Broncos current situation at running back? I’m not sure, but you be the judge based on the fact that the Broncos are bringing in former Washington Redskins running back Ladell Betts tomorrow, according to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora. KDVR Fox 31’s Josina Anderson is citing sources close to the […]

Fresh cut grass, morning mist, shouting in the distance from someone, the sunlight burning your pupils, the smell of blood, everything blurry and tinted yellow. Then, a crowd, a crowd that got here even earlier than you. They’re here just to see you… And you just got your first glance of them. Training camp. This […]

In a move that’s not going to be news to most fans, the Indianapolis Colts have signed former Denver Broncos quarterback Tom Brandstater. What does this mean and why would a quarterback, of all the draftable positions, not be good enough for the Broncos, but good enough for the Colts? Yes, I know, the Colts […]

This fall, as football gets underway, there is one contest I will be watching very closely. No, I’m not talking about Kyle vs Brady vs Tim (although I’ve now publicly admitted my man-crush on Tebow). No, I’m not talking about WR or Safety or TE. I’m talking about the virtual race between McDaniels and Shanahan […]

Something that I neglected to cover yesterday is that Mike Shanahan stated Thursday that Brian Westbrook‘s decision was, coming soon. Shanahan chose words carefully stating, “I’m sure he’s looking at his options. We’ll find out in the near future what happens there.” Prior to that he did make it as if it was the Washington […]

I know I’ve covered this very recently, but it doesn’t look like a story that’s going to go away. So, do I still think the Denver Broncos won’t be trading Kyle Orton? Yes. (Yes meaning I think that Orton will still be wearing a Broncos jersey in week one, just to clarify my awkward sentence). […]
