Kris Burke covers the Denver Broncos for Bleacher Report and NFLTouchdown.com.  This is his first piece for BroncoTalk — let him know what you think in the comments. Follow Kris on twitter at @KBurkeNFL. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Knowshown Moreno, Laurence Maroney, and Correll Buckhalter all could not get the Denver Broncos running […]

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 […]

While it’s not a sure-thing, safety David Bruton figures to get the start in Brian Dawkins‘ and Darcel McBath‘s absence.  Eddie Royal‘s return duties will increase. The defense may require shuffling all over to handle the plethora of injuries. Josh McDaniels wanted to see how his players handle adversity. He’s about to find out. Klis’ […]

The Denver Broncos‘ fortitude was tested against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday. Their depth is next on the list. Head coach Josh McDaniels has already ruled out five key defensive players for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets: safeties Darcel McBath (ankle) and Brian Dawkins (knee), linebackers Wesley Woodyard (hamstring) and Robert Ayers (leg), and […]

“It’s huge to look into a guy’s eye in the fourth quarter and know he’s tired,” Baltimore Ravens fullback Le’Ron McClain said. “We’ve got him. We’ve worn him out.” Le’Ron McClain is right. There’s nothing bigger for a football player than knowing you have your opponent’s number, and knowing he knows it, too. You know […]

So we had ourselves a football game last week; an old school brawl, the Tennessee Titans gave it their all and then some. Yet they still couldn’t come away with the victory. What people failed to notice is that I came within one point of predicting each teams score the Denver Broncos can probably beat […]

Running back Knowshon Moreno returns to the Broncos‘ practice field Wednesday. Just in time to face the notorious Ravens rush defense. One possible explanation for the running game: the NFL’s most inexperienced offensive line. No excuses, says Josh McDaniels. Another explanation — the lack of Peyton Hillis — is overblown, says the Post’s Jeff Legwold. […]

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. […]

The Minnesota Vikings executed a trade to bring Randy Moss back from New England Wednesday, and the Patriots now have two picks in each of the first four rounds of the 2011 draft. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks traded for Bills RB Marshawn Lynch and released Julius Jones. The Broncos‘ 2-8 slide last year began with […]
