When the Broncos win, the BT Staffers give out game balls! When they lose we weep our pitiful lives away… No weeping this week after a 27-6 thumping of the Browns. Take it away fellas!
Game Ball: Elvis Dumervil. FOUR SACKS. That man has truly been helped by his transition to OLB. He was unstoppable and if he can keep this up he can have a killer sack total this season. And while the whole defense deserves game balls aplenty, he really stood out as a force today. – E. Halsey Miles
Game Ball: Ryan Clady. He did a tremendous job in pass protection as well as being the springboard for a myriad of runs by Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter that ended up positively for the Broncos. There is no doubt he is one of the best position players in all of football. – Christopher D. Hart
Game Ball: Brandon Stokley. With Marshall under-used and rusty and Royal getting a lot of defensive coverage, Stokley (especially in the first half) was Mr. Clutch again and came through with a number of 3rd down catches that allowed our Offense to stay on the field. He may have only gotten 5 total catches, but they seemed to come on important downs and I believe his early success helped to open up the running game later on. – Jonathan Douglas
Game Ball: Brian Dawkins. B-dawk for sure. Dawkins was flying all over the field scooping up fumbles and hitting receivers so hard they dropped the ball. Without Dawkins presence Elvis wouldn’t of had his amazing 4 sack game. Denver needed a leader and a maniac like this guy on the defense. – Mr. East
Game Ball: Champ Bailey. The only play I noticed Champ on was the jump ball Braylon Edwards came down with. The catch was followed by what looked to be a DDT by Bailey. Not noticing Champ means he’s playing really well. PS folks, the Bengals beat the Packers. DEFENSE! – J. Kenneth K.
Game Ball: Knowshon Moreno. This one is going to sound a little off the wall but I’m giving my game ball to Knowshow Moreno. He had 75 hard earned yards and was really the key to opening up Buckhalter’s big gain in the 4th qtr. You could see the rook willing positive yards on carries. He had one carry in the 3rd that was one very good safety tackle short of being a 70 yard breakaway TD. After being a holdout, he proved that he is willing to do what is neccessary to win games. – Josh Temple
Game Ball: Tony Scheffler. Scheffler caught Orton‘s first second TD as a Bronco, which is nice, but he’s always been a baller. He gets this game ball because I’ve seen a real improvement in his blocking these first two weeks, particularly his run blocking. Did you his double-block in space on Brandon Marshall‘s 15-yard endaround? Scheffler completely sealed the left side when he blocked a man at the line of scrimmage, disengaged, ran forward, and destroyed another defender 10 yards downfield. Great job by the fourth year tight end (now please stay healthy). – Kyle
Who’d we miss? Dish it out in the comments.
