Thomas caught 32 passes for 551 yards and four touchdowns last season while Decker hauled in 44 passes for 612 yards and eight touchdowns.  With Manning under center, those numbers […]

June 12, 2012   Comments Off on Broncos’ Fox says Thomas’ finger will be fine

Broncos’ oft-injured third year wide receiver Demaryius Thomas may have scarcely avoided disaster during Denver’s first minicamp session of the offseason on Tuesday.  During practice, a ball deflected off of Thomas’ hand and caused the receiver to head towards the sideline while favoring one of his fingers. Fortunately, Thomas returned to practice after being checked out by […]

Much was made about Tebow’s ability to complete passes in 2011, not much was made about the Broncos receivers’ ability to catch them.

Overheard once in a Denver press box in regards to Tebow’s unique throwing style and the ability to hang on to said ball, “Have you ever caught a knuckleball?” Touché anonymous man, touché.

It did look as though Brandon Marshall had returned to the lineup at several points in the season during last minute Tebow drives however.
