ORTON BOUNCES BACK!
Kyle Orton didn't hear a boo in his second preseason game. Alright, so he was playing on the road. But even the Broncos faithful had to be encouraged with what they saw on television. Orton threw for 177 yards in the first half against Seattle, leading the Broncos to ten points in their first two possessions. Only a drop in the end zone by Jabar Gaffney kept Orton from having a nearly perfect night. After the Jabar gaffe, the Broncos went for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the one. With pressure coming from his right side, Orton made a Jake Plummer-like left-handed throw that was picked off in the end zone. The blooper-reel-worthy play marred an otherwise impressive effort, which included many plays straight out of the 2008 Patriots playbook. "I've got a lot of confidence right now," Orton told the Denver Post. "This is the best offense I've ever played with. I've got a lot of talent around me." Perhaps Orton's most talented teammate, Brandon Marshall, was left behind in Denver. Coach Josh McDaniels commented vaguely about it after the game. "Every player who was ready and able to play in this game was here, and all the guys we didn't think were ready and able stayed back home," McDaniels said. After the game, there was some question regarding the availability of Orton's backup Chris Simmsm who left the game with an ankle injury, and who was seen on crutches after the game. So, whether Broncos fans like it or not, Orton is going to be their man. And they should save their boos for another quarterback; Jay Cutler and the Bears visit Denver next Sunday night on NBC. |
SEATTLE — Bring it on, Jay Cutler. Come back to town next week with that big arm and nonchalant attitude.
The Broncos will have a quarterback of their own waiting to match right-handed pass for right-handed pass. Kyle Orton may not be able to match Cutler mph per mph. And his desperation left-handed throws may only conjure up images of Jake Plummer, not Cutler. But Orton is not one to blink. Knock him, boo him, bruise him, curse him. Just don't expect Orton, the man who replaced Cutler as the Broncos' quarterback this season, to crumble under heavy criticism. Coming within a dropped pass by Jabar Gaffney of delivering a near-flawless performance, Orton settled for an encouraging effort in the Broncos' 27-13 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night. Orton was examined harshly following an inauspicious Broncos debut last week when he threw three interceptions in his first three possessions during a loss at San Francisco. He fired back with sweet redemption in preseason game No. 2. Down 7-0 before stepping on the field in Qwest Stadium, arguably the loudest venue in the NFL, Orton completed 6-of-8 passes while leading the Broncos on a 78-yard scoring drive that culminated with a 3-yard touch pass to Brandon Stokley in the end zone. "I've got a lot of confidence right now," Orton said after the game. "This is the best offense I've ever played with. I've got a lot of talent around me." Broncos coach Josh McDaniels not only didn't waver in his faith in Orton following the San Francisco debacle last week, he didn't let backup quarterback Chris Simms take any first-team reps during the final week of training camp. Orton rewarded his coach's trust. He followed his touchdown drive by going 3-for-3 in his second drive to move within field-goal range for kicker Matt Prater. Orton finished the first quarter with a 131.8 passer rating by completing 9-of-11 for 92 yards and the touchdown. "He played fairly well. There is still some room for improvement," McDaniels said. "He did what we think he's capable of doing, which is throwing the ball accurately and moving the offense." His strong performance should ease tension as the Broncos get ready to play their preseason home opener next Sunday night in a nationally televised game against Cutler and the Chicago Bears. Cutler passed for more than 4,500 yards for the Broncos last season and earned his first Pro Bowl berth, but a late-season collapse cost coach Mike Shanahan his job after 14 seasons. An offseason rift with McDaniels, Shanahan's replacement, preceded a trade that sent Cutler to the Bears in exchange for Orton and draft picks. Orton arrived in Denver with a reputation as a game manager, a quarterback who wasn't flashy but had a knack for playing just well enough to win. While Cutler had a 17-20 record with the Broncos, Orton was 21-12 as a starter with the Bears. Not that Broncoland was sold on Orton's abilities last week in San Francisco. Although Orton moved the ball against the 49ers, one turnover led to another. With all eyes nervously upon him Saturday, Orton responded. Besides his two scoring drives in the first quarter, Orton directed the Broncos on another long march to the Seahawks' 1-yard line in the second. But a pass went through Gaffney's outstretched hands in the back of the end zone, and with the Broncos going for it on a fourth down, Orton was forced to make a what-do-I-have-to-lose gamble. Under a heavy rush, Orton flipped the ball left-handed into the end zone. The ball wobbled into the hands of Seattle defensive back Ken Lucas for an interception. It's the kind of maneuver Orton may want to reconsider during the regular season. McDaniels also addressed his decision to not bring star receiver Brandon Marshall on the trip. "Every player who was ready and able to play in this game was here, and all the guys we didn't think were ready and able stayed back home," he said. Asked if that meant physically able or mentally able, McDaniels said "both." Mike Klis: 303-954-1055 or mklis@denverpost.com Key moment Thin line to tread Had Jabar Gaffney snagged Kyle Orton's pass in the end zone, everyone would be talking about Orton's stellar performance. Instead, the most talked-about moment will be the QB's left-handed red-zone interception two plays later. Key stat -6 After Tony Scheffler's and Kenny McKinley's fumbles in the third quarter, the Broncos now have six turnovers (four interceptions and two fumbles) in the preseason without creating one. The Broncos' defense caused only 13 turnovers in the 2008 regular season. Did you notice? Prater in a good place Matt Prater should be feeling plenty secure about his job. First, he was given the chance to rest during training camp to stay fresh, then he hit a 53-yard field goal in the first quarter Saturday night. http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_13180825# |

@ the 63 minute mark. Michael Lombardi says "Denver is going to be REALLY good" and "Denver will be playing a meaningful game for the division against the Chargers late in the season" Lombardi breaks down film on every preseason game and he said that Denver was the team that jumps out on him more than any other team. Best offseason EVER!!!!!:) |

That was a joke. Not one thing he said in that interview (in regards to Denver) had anything to do with the preseason footage. Not one. It was all the same conjecture others have said. No examples from the preseason, no in depth analysis of the game footage. Just another fluff piece. For instance, the comment on McDaniels. McDaniels has shown nothing to this point in the preseason to warrant such praise. It's the same fluff comment others have made about McDaniels in the offseason. There are reasons to think McDaniels may (eventually) be a good head coach, but he's having a very rough preseason. There have been several clock management and situational coaching moments that McDaniels has failed on, and if he's gonna truly be a good head coach, he'll be critical of himself and not try to suck himself off the way KnoBrain does constantly. |
BRONCOS OFFSEASON OF FAIL CONTINUES
No go for Knowshon in Week One? Posted by Mike Florio on August 27, 2009 6:53 PM ET When the Broncos face the Bengals to start the season, they might be without the services of the twelfth overall pick in the 2009 draft. According to Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post, tailback Knowshon Moreno is not expected to be back to 100 percent by the time Week One rolls around. Even if Moreno's sprained MCL has healed by September 13, Moreno's conditioning likely will keep him on the shelf. With LaMont Jordan also missing time due to injury, the current starter is veteran Correll Buckhalter, who arrived via free agency after eight years in Philly. Peyton Hillis also could shift over from fullback, and Darius Walker could get reps, too. Oh well. At least they still have Jay Cutler Kyle Orton at quarterback. stay down bitch! |

After missing time with an injury, Knowshon Moreno was back on the practice field Tuesday at Dove Valley. Sporting an orange jersey designated for players recovering from injury, Moreno worked with the rest of the running backs in full drills at the onset of the session. Among those backs was also LaMont Jordan, who returned from injury wearing his regular white No. 32 jersey. More to come at DenverBroncos.com following this afternoon’s practice. http://blog.denverbroncos.com/denver...ack-in-action/ :) |
Wow, drills.
OMG |

Broncos rookie running back Knowshon Moreno, the club's top draft pick, might play in Thursday's final preseason game against the visiting Arizona Cardinals. "He would be capable of playing, but I'm not exactly sure if that's the smartest decision," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said after the team's walk-through practice today. Moreno suffered a knee injury in Denver's preseason opener at San Francisco, but returned to practice on Tuesday. "We're going to talk about that, taking all the information into account and making sure we do the smart thing by the player and make sure we're ready for next week," McDaniels said. |

I'm a bolt fan but I would never show the disrespect that this ass clown shows ON ANOTHER TEAMS message board.
Denver will not play a meaningful game against SD this year (or anytime soon) because your team is going to suck major ass and be in the toilet by Halloween. Mcdaniel has that team in complete disarray. What do you expect the players to come out and say junior? |
It's nice to know that the Broncos have been working on an extension for Brandon. Hopefully they can work things out.

Dude if the Broncos gave him an extension now, they would set a precedent that would allow the inmates to run the asylum like nobody else. You don't like your contract? Be an ass in practice, get it on TV, and then get your extension.
That dude has character problems. Big character problems. |

Sounds like McDaniels suspending Marshall made Brandon wisen up a bit. It is good to hear that Marshall's attitude has been "great" since he came back from his suspension. :)

AFC:
Playoff Teams 1. Pittsburgh, 13-3 2. San Diego, 12-4 3. New England, 12-4 4. Indianapolis, 11-5 5. Baltimore, 12-4 (wild card) 6. Denver, 10-6 (wild card) Prediction No. VIII: As we all know (or should know), a true sleeper pick can only be a team that: (A) flagrantly sucked last season; and (B) generated little buzz heading into this one. That rules out Houston (too much buzz), Green Bay (ditto), the Jets (9-7 last season) and Bucs (9-7 last season). You have to pick someone from this group: the Bills, Browns, Raiders, Broncos, Chiefs, Lions, Rams, Bengals and Niners. You need the "Nobody believed in us!" factor. You need a team that nailed its April draft and is blessed by a bad division and/or an easy schedule. You need an easy September for momentum. You need a franchise with fans who lost hope and will lose their collective crap if anything good happens. And you need to feel like you want to throw up even as you're anointing the team your sleeper. My pick? The Broncos. Nobody believes in them because they lost Shanahan (24-24 since 2006) and Cutler (17-20 career record). Was that REALLY a disaster? They hired the architect of New England's record-setting 2007 offense (McDaniels) and traded for a QB with a 21-12 career record as a starter (Kyle Orton). (I know, I'm pushing it with the facts. But those ARE facts.) They crushed the draft: two first-rounders (including running back Knowshon Moreno, who could light it up right away) and five of the top 64 picks. They play in a division with two awful teams (Kansas City and Oakland). They easily could start 4-0 (at Cincy, home for Cleveland, at Oakland, home for Dallas). And the city of Denver has lost all hope. Also, I want to throw up and you are shaking your head right now. In other words, the Broncos fit the bill. Ten and six, I say. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...simmons/090910 :) |

Sorry KnowNothing. The moment you posted that McDaniels can turn "any QB into a Pro Bowl QB" I simply had no choice but to disregard anything you say, post, think, feel, quote, misquote, reference, hint at, implicate, or contribute. I'm really surprised you don't work in the propaganda industry somewhere.

Tom Brady's best 4 years of his career ALL happened after Josh McDaniels started coaching him. He knows QB's like Mike Shanahan knows RB's. |

LMAO When you guys made/contributed to this thread you never considered the possibility it might bite you in the ass. Through the first two weeks of the season, which is a lot more than you thought possible, KnowMo owns you Chief and Charger alike.
