      I gotta admit, despite his interception, and his poor throw down field to McKinley that he lucked out on I was really impressed with Brandstater. He has a very decent amount of mobility and seems to have above average arm strength.

      He obviously has a ton to learn, but he was fun to watch.

          I missed the interception as it happened, did he throw under the reciever or what?

          And how about Hillis, the guy does everything the staff asks him to do and gets it done. I have to believe the staff is running out of reasons to not have him heavily involved in the offense come Week 1

            Actually, I'd have to watch it again, but it looked like a pretty good throw that the receiver mis-handled and it deflected back to the defenders hands.

            I don't think it was even something to hold against Brandstater.

            They were too busy interviewing Cutler while it happened and didn't show a replay.

                The int was thrown to Royal, and it was a tad high. It would have been a terrific catch. Brandstater looked more comfortable as the game went along, I just hope at no time this year that he has to see action, lol, but it might happen.

                One thing I thought of this morning was that this defense got after Cutler early. Anxious to see how Cutler will handle that through an entire game, which he will with some of the teams on that schedule.

                I was getting more and more perturbed at Collinsworth and Michaels. They just kept rehashing the whole thing, and from the point of view of someone who read up a little on it just before the game. I still can't believe how most people will say McD had to have Cassel and was actively pursuing him. My god, the opposite of the truth, I guess.

                I am glad this game is over. I still don't think the Broncos will be all that bad. Wish we could see more of Moreno and a little more development out of Ayers so we can see the benefit of getting rid of cutler.

                Finally, DON'T PUNT THE BALL TO DEVIN HESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  Broncos Preseason Game 3

                  Chicago Bear @ Denver Broncos.

                  As I have started off each game so far, I will discuss the three points of improvement I was most concerned with coming in to this matchup with the Bears. The first was how consistent would Kyle Orton be and how would he react in his first game in a Broncos uniform in Invesco Field at Mile High. The second was how would the defense react to the pressure of shutting down Jay Cutler. And lastly who was going to step up at running back and be the primary back spliting time with Moreno. Just wanted to say I did enjoy those fans that wore diapers and a Jay Cutler jersey. Also liked the women who was holding a "Chicago Loves Cutler" sign...As the female next to her had a sign of her own that stated "< I'm with stupid."

                  The First Quarter began with a very short kick by Gould which was taken by Tony Scheffler. I was a little confused by this because I do not know why they would be avoiding Broncos returners. The Broncos first drive was a three and out with a holding penalty thrown in there. Then came the loudest set of "boo's" I have ever heard. Broncos defense stepped up getting good pressure on Cutler and forcing a three and out. The next Broncos possession was very much like their first one, minus the penalty. However on the punt Devin Hester made a huge error in judgement and fair caught the ball at the Bears 5 yard line. Tack on an illegal block on the Bears and they were starting at their own 2 yard line. On 2nd and 3rd down,Dumervil was able to get great pressure on Cutler and hurry his throws, much to the enjoyment of the Broncos crowd. On the ensuing Broncos possession, Orton was able to hook up with Royal for a 24 yard completion which set up a 31 yard field goal from Matt Prater. On the following Bears possession Cutler made great
                  throws including a big pass on 3rd and 1 to tight end Desmond Clark. This drive lead to a 40 yard field goal by Robbie Gould to tie the score at 3.

                  The Second Quarter began with a Broncos 3 and out, once again assisted by a holding penalty. After a few more short possessions by both teams, Kern decides to punt to Devin Hester, which lead to a 45 yard return down to the Broncos 4 yard line. (Guess we did not learn two years ago)...But in all honesty I would rather punt to him in the preseason and see what our Special Teams can do. The Hester return set up a 2 yard run by Forte to put the Bears up 10-3. The Broncos ensuing possession ended with Orton injuring his right pointer finger and Colquitt delivering a beautiful punt down to the Bears 2 yard line. The final Bears drive for Cutler was a long one and a good one. Cutler took the Bears on a 14 play 98 yard drive which resulted in a Cutler touchdown pass to Forte to give the Bears a 17-3 Halftime lead. Should be noted Dumervil did take a cheap shot at Cutler during the drive, nothing crazy, but pushed him down well after the ball was released. The push was late, but I think Cutler took a "flop" and made it look worse. Cutler was interviewed after the incident and just said they were playing football and jawing back and forth, but no hard feelings.

                  The Third Quarter began with three consecutive 3 and outs, until the Broncos were able to put together an 11 play drive behind Hillis and Brandstater. Not to mention a great catch by Brandon Lloyd who lost his helmet during the catch. The drive was capped off with a 2 yard touchdown run by Hillis to pull the Broncos within 7.There was no other scoring during the third quarter, however Brandstater did make a crucial mistake. Brandstater had a wide open Royal and just threw too high, causing Royal to tip the ball in the air which was subsquently intercepted by Freeman.

                  The Fourth Quarter began with a Broncos drive which was haulted after a Brandstater fumble. On the following drive Adrian Peterson made the Broncos defense look stupid capping off his highlight reel with a 12 yard touchdown run to extend the Bears lead to 24-10On the following Broncos drive, Brandstater was able to connect with McKinley for a 54 yard completion. If Brandstater would have led McKinley, it would have been a Touchdown. The Broncos were able to finish off the drive with a 1 yard Touchdown run from Walker to pull the Broncos within 7 once again. The Bears ensuing possession was all about Adrian Peterson chewing up the clock, and gaining good chunks of yards while doing it. The drive ended with another Gould field goal to make the score 27-17, which is how the game would end.

                  As for the improvements I was hoping for, I will start with Kyle Orton. Good news is he made great decisions which lead to zero interceptions (and zero left handed passes). I believe Orton was scheduled to play at least a few more possession, but due to the laceration on his right pointer finger, I agree with the decision to pull him from the game. Plus I think Brandstater played better than I expect. Secondly I was very impressed with the first string defense and their ability to put pressure on Cutler. However the second team defense was horrible against Peterson. And as for what running back would step up...as always it was Peyton Hillis, man that kid is a blast to watch play football.

                  I sure hope now that all the Jay Cutler/Denver drama is over with, it will stay in the past. He had a good game last night and I was impressed with his decision making on the 2 minute drive. But now Broncos fans need to go back to focusing on the Broncos not on Jay Cutlers success and failures in Chicago.

                  And now for my take on Brandon Marshall...I have never see a Professional Football player act like such a baby. The key word is highlighted above...Professional...I do not care how much money you think you are worth. You are getting to play a game and get paid for it, no matter how much you are getting paid there are people that would love to be playing football for much less than you make. I have already said my peace on Marshall being a contributing factor in the death of Darrent Williams. Its just down right disgusting this guy seems to continue to grow more immature by the day. Great decision by McDaniel to suspend him.

                  Well til next week...Take Care Yall.

                  Once again starting Week 1 I will only post these in my blog section.

                    You forgot the "There's no Jay in team" sign. Thought that was pretty good.

                    Where's Lloyd on the depth chart (particularly now that Gaffney's dinged)?

                      Well I stand corrected.

                      Colquitt was cut today along with Jeb Putzier, WR C.J. Jones, and C Blake Slchueter.

                            Well, I too bought into that really neato expression, "Cooler heads will prevail." Oh well, my Broncos excitement has been rejuvinated, even with the possibility of a pretty yucky season. But you know what, things will get better, I truly believe that.

                            This time last year I just really never enjoyed the Denver Broncos I was not unconditional with my support. Many a time I ripped my jersey off and vowed to never watch them again. This year I am back to supporting unconditional. God knows that is the only way I'm going to get through this year.
