Broncos players got what amounts to another bye weekend off.  Wide receiver Eddie Royal (thigh), defensive tackle Marcus Thomas (shoulder), cornerback Ty Law (hamstring), running back Knowshon Moreno (wrist), and tackle Ryan Harris (toes) look to benefit from the break. [Denver Post] Brian Urlacher laments the Bears new identity under Jay Cutler.  [Yahoo! Sports] The […]

Running against the nickel has the Broncos defense floundered.  [Denver Post] Jeff Legwold suggests Peyton Hillis is “going to have to push harder and not let the frustration get to him” in practice to see the field Sundays.  Do it, Peyton.  [DPO] McDaniels‘ message is simple: Just do it.  Better.  [NFL.com] John Elway expected more […]

With several members of their secondary limited due to injury, and nickelbacks Jack Williams and Alphonso Smith struggling of late, the Denver Broncos agreed to terms with veteran free agent cornerback Ty Law Friday.

The Saints, Colts and Broncos are all 6-0, marking the first time in NFL history that three teams have been undefeated heading into Week 8. Pretty wild stuff. Let’s see how the rest of the […]

It’s a fact of life — Kyle Orton and Jay Cutler will forever-be linked, examined, scrutinized, and compared to one another for the rest of their NFL careers.  It doesn’t matter that the Broncos received two first-round draft picks along with Orton; Orton and Cutler’s successes and failures will be placed in juxtaposition to one […]
