While many of my fan brethren are claiming they saw this one coming for nearly a year, I have to say I’m pretty shocked. I knew there would be turn over on our D-line when Bates came in, but Warren fit the Bates model better than most of our returning linemen and we just gave […]

NOTES AND NEWS FROM DAY TWO OF TRAINING CAMP: “That long arm’s going to be home for you baby, home! That’s the leverage we’ve got to have, gentlemen!” — Jim Bates, in reference to a great play by Elvis Dumervil So, Day #2 is in the books. The Broncos had another great day of practice. […]

I thought this was an interesting tidbit in the Rocky Mountain News… Jim Bates has announced that he plans to stroll the sidelines during the games instead of working from the booth (as both Larry Coyer and Ray Rhodes did). This doesn’t give him the bird’s eye view of the field, but it will allow […]

Everyone has their list of top Training Camp questions. The Denver Post, ESPN, FOX Sports even this complete dolt over at Yahoo! Sports. Jason Cole actually thinks our biggest training camp issue is that we will be abandoning our traditional Zone Blocking Scheme: “For the first time in more than a decade, the Broncos are […]

Everyone is getting ready for camp, and NFL.com has even done a nice video feature on what the Broncos have done this off-season and what we can expect later this month at Training Camp (TC). And speaking of previewing TC, our guest author Dogfish has the final installment of his Camp Preview series. This time […]

A day late, but with all the post-mini-camp news, who can blame me! :) Here, again, is our guest author Dogfish’s Training Camp Preview of the D-line. For those of you who don’t know, Dogfish is an All-Pro contributor on the Broncomania forum with nearly 10,000 posts. I admire the insight and thoughtfulness of his […]

I would NEVER claim to be an expert in fantasy football (although I’m very proud of the championship title I won in a co-worker’s league several years ago), so […]

In an attempt to put our busy off-season into perspective, I’ve organized most of our moves and notable news this off-season into one timeline.  I did add two items from 2006 (Jay Cutler’s starting at QB and Al Wilson injuring his neck).  I’ve also added this timeline to a page under the Information. Let me know if I […]

So, what have the coaches said after one day with new DT Sam Adams?  Shanahan, who believes D-linemen are as honest about their weight as desperate housewives, says that speed and quickness are more important than weight.  And Adams agrees… “I’ve been in Pro Bowls at 355 and I’ve been in Pro Bowls at 335. […]

NEWS FROM TEAM CAMP: Always the first with pictures and team info – Mason’s Morsels: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6. Day 7 Some good news on Brandon Stokley. He was seen jogged around the playing fields while the rest of the Broncos stretched and watched from the sidelines […]
