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 the division lead at stake, will the Denver Broncos have their starting quarterback? Kyle Orton was seen both on and off crutches after Sunday’s loss to the Washington Redskins, fittingly mirroring the uncertainty surrounding his injured ankle that the Broncos face as they prepare for the 6-3 San Diego Chargers. On Monday, Head Coach […]

Jeff Legwold says the Broncos haven’t given up on the zone blocking scheme.  Think situational hybrid.  [DPO] Mike Shanahan has been inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame along with Joe Sakic.  [KDVR.com] Hochstein isn’t the only guard being promoted to first string for the game on Sunday.  [Washington Post] Jim Zorn tells the […]

The San Diego Chargers have released long time NFL wideout Chris Chambers this afternoon.  Originally a member of the Miami Dolphins, the Chargers aquired the receiver in a trade for a second round pick back in 2007.  The roster move was made based off of the progress of Malcolm Floyd who has moved into the […]

The Ravens put themselves back into the AFC North conversation, while the Broncos need to bounce back to keep the Chargers out of theirs.  [ProFootballTalk] Josh McDaniels and Kyle Orton gave Baltimore credit for getting pressure and playing their safeties deep.  [Denver Post] Woody Paige was plainly disgusted with the effort, as was I.  This […]
