Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Kenny McKinley apparently committed suicide today, wow.

WTF? Wow.

Granted I only know of him because of my being a Broncos owner in a Madden franchise, but man, that's a shock. I'm sure you actual Broncos fans are much more familiar with him.

Only 23...RIP and condolences.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

RIP, I liked him last year when I saw him returning kickoffs/punts and stuff. Tragic news

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

All has been said. Absolutely tragic news. RIP.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Goodman and Bailey are both hurt, the Colts game can suck even more than I thought. Potentially starting 2 rookies vs Manning, the game will be called "How many points can Manning score"

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Ryan Harris likely out again. Freeney generally rushes the blind side right?

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Orton honestly needs a long term contract after this season. Tebow can wait, Orton has good years left and if he shows he can make the deep throws, why not?

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Thomas didn't break any bone in his arm, luckily. Unless its a fracture to his wrist which sometimes wont show up because of how many little pieces there are...sadly I'm an expert in broken bones and x-rays from all my trips.

The Tebow special formations seem to be out of the playbook, glad that was just a first week experiment and the team found out they cant run the ball.

Maroney was hesitant in the game, danced way too much instead of trying to just make his 1 cut and run north/south. Could also blame the line for its poor performance in the run game. Moreno is looking more like a back that needs to split a game up, he's not Ryan Torain but he's not going to have a long shelf life, in my opinion.

Redzone efficiency, same as last year- SUCKS. I heard a few people complaining about the going for it on 4th down, like the Broncos have any choice vs Manning

I count the game as a moral victory really, they stayed in it for the better part of the game and had plenty of chances to take it but failed. Its fairly easy for a defense to stop the Broncos at this point inside the 20 because everyone knows they can't run the ball effectively. Once (if) they figure out a running game, redzone scoring % should go up.

Those are my random thoughts.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Running game is worthless.

Gameplan: Throw the ball as much as Orton's arm can throw every game

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Ugh I wish there was a running game...Sooner or later Orton is not going to be able to carry this team without one.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

some observations from the first quarter of the season.

Orton is the leader of the team and now is a top 5 Qb.

O lines inexperience likely to get Orton killed if they cant gell quickly and start to run the ball.

wr corp looks good, Lloyd? I thought this cat was out of the league. would like to see more Royal though but hey....

defense is doing a great job, good enough to win against the Colts and outstanding against CJ and the Titans. No pass rush so far without Doom and I dont expect that to change, Ayers just isnt there yet and J Moss, after what 5 years in the league, hasnt progressed much at all, looks like he is either staying in a lane or has no pass rushing ability at all. he just runs at the blocker, engages and then stops and puts his hands up, no rip, spin, juke nothing. the coaches must be telling him to stay in his gap or something because thats what it looks like. run D looks much improved...

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

The only way the Broncos will get a run game is if the NFL allows



Atleast Orton is keeping the Broncos (outside of Ravens game) in it

[MaddenMan]

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

They should start grooming Tebow, at least he can run in the pocket with a bad line that allows so many sacks - poor Orton is getting jacked.

[Sportsforever]

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

I haven't gotten to watch the Broncos since the pre-season. Has Tebow even gotten to run a pass play at all? I have seen that he's scored a few short TD's, but haven't seen an attempted pass on his boxscore.

DJ Williams got a DUI last night. Not expected to start. Season gets worse every week.
