It’s no fun for a quarterback to face the Leagues’ two best Cornerbacks in back-to-back weeks, just ask Kyle Orton. Last week Orton faced Darrelle Revis and the Jets, this week: Nnamdi Asomugha and the Raiders. The Broncos’ Orton tested Revis early and throughout the game last week, beating him at times, including once for […]

Like countless NFL quarterbacks before him, head coach Josh McDaniels underestimated Champ Bailey‘s ability to recover. Although McDaniels indicated Bailey wouldn’t be ready to practice Thursday, the All Pro put on the pads and participated in the workout, sounding surprised his coach didn’t think he was ready. “Oh he said that?” Bailey said in the […]

Nine players sat out Denver Broncos practice Wednesday, but head coach Josh McDaniels wouldn’t rule out any one of them for Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. They include the five who missed last Sunday — safeties Brian Dawkins (knee) and Darcel McBath (ankle), linebackers Robert Ayers (foot) and Wesley Woodyard (hamstring), and cornerback Andre Goodman […]

The Denver Broncos are holding an Orange Sunday prep rally tonight at Larimer Square from 3-6 p.m. Several players will be there this afternoon. Woody Paige hopes it lights an orange fire all around. Handling the blitz falls on Kyle Orton‘s shoulders. Shonn Greene and Ladainian Tomlinson plan to pound away at the Broncos. LDT’s […]

Analyzing the Broncos‘ decisions to trade Alphonso Smith and not extend Champ Bailey‘s contract. Perrish Cox is relishing his opportunity, even if it means an obscene amount of targets. Jets tight end Dustin Keller looks to the be the shorthanded Broncos’ toughest challenge. Even guys that are “healthy” — like Mario Haggan and David Bruton […]

Darrelle Revis is 25.  Champ Bailey is 32. Age notwithstanding, they’re the game’s best. The Ravens took advantage of defensive lineups where Jamal Williams and Justin Bannan weren’t on the field. The Jets will try to exploit the Broncos‘ young o-line with exotic blitz packages. Eerie similarities exist between Josh McDaniels‘ second Broncos unit and […]

Analyzing player performances from the Denver Broncos‘ 17-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, highlighting the good and the bad. Stud: Kyle Orton Had the man been able to reign supreme over the offense the Broncos would have come away with a win. It is pathetic that Denver was even attempting to run on the […]

The contract extension discussions between the Denver Broncos and All Pro cornerback Champ Bailey have fallen apart, at least temporarily, reports FOX 31’s Josina Anderson. Bailey and the Broncos had reportedly been holding ongoing contract discussions for weeks aimed at keeping the cornerback in Denver through 2014. Now those talks have been tabled until after […]

Since hiring Josh McDaniels as head coach last season, the Broncos have oft been referred to as “Patriots West”. It is a nickname that stems from a heavy belief in the system, strong team-oriented mindset, multiple player and personnel transplants, and the idea that everyone is expendable. Especially with the potential of stockpiling draft picks. […]

Kyle Orton threw for nearly 500 yards. Not that you could tell from the scoreboard. Orton’s career-high 476 passing yards took the Denver Broncos into the red zone five times, but he and the Broncos escaped with a mere six points, falling to the Indianapolis Colts by a final score of 13-27. Questionable playcalling, sloppiness […]
