Rod Smith… John Lynch…. a season ago, Al Wilson and Jake Plummer.  All 4 team captains from 2006.  Who takes over the leadership role? Brandon Marshall can’t escape a feeling of impending doom.  [DPO] TE Tony Scheffler‘s nagging injuries are the team’s inside joke.  [Rocky Mountain News] More buzz about rookie WR Eddie Royal.  [DPO] […]

John Lynch and the Denver Broncos have agreed to part ways. While it’s disappointing as fans to see a favorite player go, it’s an inevitable step in a 16-year NFL career. Had Lynch not asked for his release this year, he likely would have retired the next, so let’s discuss less what the future has […]

After four seasons, Denver Broncos defensive captain John Lynch is leaving the team, CBS4 reports.  Lynch met with Head Coach Mike Shanahan Wednesday afternoon, and Shanahan gave Lynch permission to look for a new team, or retire and likely pursue broadcasting. UPDATE: The Rocky Mountain News is reporting that the Broncos are expected to announce […]

Brian Westbrook. Philadelphia Eagles running back. 5’8″, 200 lbs. 9,512 all-purpose yards in college, an all-time NCAA record. In six years in the NFL, Westbrook has acquired 9,002 all-purpose yards (rushing, receiving, and punt/kickoff returns). Warrick Dunn. Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back. 5’9″, 180 lbs. 3,959 rushing yards stands as an FSU record, one of […]

Selvin Young suffered a bruised thigh during yesterday’s practice, but says he’s fine.  [Fox 31] D.J. Williams‘ move back to the weak side should prove a strength for the Broncos defense.  [Denver Post] Dewayne Robertson kindly asks you to shut up about his knee already, thankyouverymuch.  [DPO] Ebenezer Ekuban says his Achilles is holding up, […]

What seemed like a happy-go-lucky anecdote on the team’s official blog Tuesday actually has me a bit concerned. Brandon Marshall took off his right shoe Tuesday, and ran several drills to end the afternoon practice with only his left shoe. At first glance, it’s nothing to sweat over. Just another comical display of personality by […]

The Denver Broncos kicked off the traditional work week in the middle of their own, holding a total of four training camp practices on Monday and Tuesday. The offense is beginning to come along, with a few surprises, while the defense (particularly the defensive line) continues to sort itself out. The talk of Denver Broncos […]

Ramsey is currently Cutler’s backup. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski) The backup quarterback spot is never the most-watched battle in camp. It’s not the flashiest competition, and its result rarely has a large impact on the field. Nevertheless, an unsuspected battle is taking place thus far at Broncos camp, with the incumbent slowly losing his grip on […]

Whatever the decision, I agree – we need a Brandon Marshall ruling now.  [Denver Post] Elvis Dumervil has no intentions of resting on first and second downs.  [Rocky Mountain News] Montrae Holland explains why he is overweight and reveals it could take up to a month to get him back.  Ugh.  [RMN] Hamza Abdullah won’t […]

Veteran C Tom Nalen sat out Tuesday’s morning session with what is said to be a scheduled rest.  Recall that Nalen had knee surgery this June and was placed on Injured Reserve last year after suffering a torn biceps.  It seems that, much like the case with Dewayne Robertson, the Broncos are taking it slow […]
