Good Morning Broncos Country! The Super Bowl? Over. The Pro Bowl? Over. Even the parade is over. Well, will the party in New Orleans ever really end? Not likely. That means, however, that we are fully entrenched in the 'Re-Loading Season'. There will be plenty of Draft talk, plenty of rumors and plenty of politically correct conversation from players, teams and agents. In a lot of ways, this part of the year is my favorite!!!
2009 Denver Broncos 4th Quarter Review - DB.com
The fourth quarter of the season was the toughest for the Broncos in 2009, as the team went 0-4 to close out an 8-8 campaign.
NFL toughest test for Tebow to pass - The Denver Post
To the eyes and ears of the NFL, the Heisman is nothing but a trophy. It's not a guarantee, not a reference, not even a tiebreaker. And that's why Tim Tebow, with a Heisman, two national championships and a collegiate resume that makes him one of the great players in the storied history of Saturday football, finds himself at square one.
The start of the 2010 season has a question mark - Denver Post
The NFL again celebrated its position at the top of the nation’s sports pyramid this past week, finishing with a Super Bowl that became the highest-rated television program in history.

Super Bowl, Cowherds, & a HOF Limerick

Stop the presses! This just in. Tim Lynch is back for the second straight week! Holy macaroni. I may just make this a weekly event.
How could I not follow up last weeks post with one today? The Super Bowl was a Super day and even bigger, to me, was the announcement of Floyd Little's selection into the Hall of Fame.
I'll cover that and more today, including a few things I have to say about Colin Cowte..err..Cowherd(forgot this is not a FanPost!). First I'd like to start off with a little lyrical masterpiece(not really):
It's beginning to look a lot like Draftivus
Ev'rywhere you goooooo;
Take a look at Jeremy's pen -- glistening once again
With profiles and resources aglow!
It's beginning to look a lot like Draftivus
Mocks in ev'ry blog.
But the prettiest sight to see -- is the star that will be
Part of your teams fielded cog
Dang, I started out so well only to have it end in such a horrible train wreck. I'd take it out, but that's just not my style. The Lynch gravy train never derails...

Horse Tracks - 2/9/10 - The Saints Go Marching Home

Good Morning Broncos Country! Obviously, most of the news in the NFL is focused on the Saints in the aftermath of their 31-17 win in SB44. With the Combine just a couple of weeks away, however, that will soon be changing. As for the Broncos, they lost Herb Taylor to the Giants, but quickly replaced him with RB Bruce Hall.
Oh yea, there was that juicy little rumor about Donovan McNabb as well. My first instinct is to say no, but some parts do excite me. People talk about McNabb being 33 years old - so?? Look at Favre<cringe>, or Warner, playing into their late 30's, early 40's. McNabb could easily have 3 or 4 more good years in him - an eternity in the NFL. If anything, this proves the Broncos are covering all their bases - exactly what they SHOULD BE DOING this time of year - and what Jay Cutler couldn't handle last February.

Now that the Super Bowl champion Saints have reminded everyone how useful a 6-foot-4 wide receiver can be — thank you, Marques Colston — let's set our imaginations free for a minute.

The Denver Broncos on Monday signed free-agent running back Bruce Hall, it was announced.
Hall (5-foot-11, 205 pounds), who entered the NFL with Buffalo as a college free agent in 2008, is a second-year player who spent the majority of his two seasons on the Bills' practice squad. He was signed to the Bills' active roster and dressed but did not play in Buffalo's 2008 season finale against New England.
Hall, 24, split time as a running back and quarterback in college at the University of Mississippi (2006-07) after spending time at Northeast Community College (2005), Troy University (2004) and Wake Forest (2003). Hall totaled 416 yards and a touchdown on 85 carries (4.9 avg.) while adding 15 catches for 149 yards (9.9 avg.) and one score in 23 games over two seasons at Mississippi.
He was an all-state selection at Northeast Community College (Norfolk, Neb.) in 2003 and earned the Offensive Backs Most Valuable Player Award after passing for 1,003 yards and 10 touchdowns while rushing for nearly 300 yards. He worked on Troy's scout team while having to sit out due to the NCAA transfer rule in 2004. Hall redshirted as a true freshman at Wake Forest in 2003.
Hall attended Milton High School in Orlando, Fla., where he ranked No. 45 on the Orlando Sentinel's Top 100 Florida prospects list. He totaled 5,646 passing yards and 61 touchdowns while completing 357-of-650 pass attempts during his career. He also contributed 476 carries for 2,534 yards and 31 touchdowns. He led the team to the district championship as a junior.
Bruce Tarahn Christopher Hall, who majored in exercise science at Mississippi, was born March 18, 1985, in Milton, Fla.

Denver Broncos Mock Draft Ver. 16, Post Super Bowl

First of all, many congratulations to the New Orleans Saints. They capped off one of the more balanced NFL seasons in terms of competition level that I have ever witnessed in my 20 years of life, and they were the last team standing. To get to their first ever Super Bowl, they had to beat Tom Brady's Patriots, Kurt Warner's Cardinals, Brett Favre's Vikings, and Peyton Manning's Colts.
Tonight capped off a great season of football, and darn it The Who also put on a dynamite show. Again, congratulations to the New Orleans Saints. They deserved to win tonight, and they had an excellent season.
Enough sappy stories. It's now officially time to move on from the 2009 NFL season. The offseason is less than one month away from getting into full form.
With a full season to evaluate not only the talent available in free agency and the draft, the Broncos and their new front office have had a full year to evaluate the players on the roster already. Denver's reloading project is 60 percent completed from last season. Josh McDaniels has nearly cemented his style on this team, though there are still some players left from the Shanahan era who clearly do not fit.
That will likely change this offseason.
As per lately, I've been using these mock drafts as a way to throw out every possibility the Broncos could encounter this offseason, and I likely have not even made a dent in the never ending amount of possibilities. Now that the season is officially over, I am going to start changing up the style of these posts.
Instead of presenting fantasy options, I'm going to go with what I actually believe will happen. Obviously it's a long shot at this point, but the picture will only become clearer and clearer as the NFL Draft approaches.
And without further adieu...

Josh McDaniels Speaks; Broncos Country Listens

A couple days ago, there was a short interview in the Denver Post with Pat Bowlen. During that interview, he stated that he would like Brandon Marshall to return to the Broncos, but wouldn't overrule his Head Coach to make it happen.
Brandon Marshall has also said he wants to return to the Broncos, if things - read contract - work out that way. Marshall has stated his love for Denver and his desire to stay.
In the past, Josh McDaniels has also said he would like Marshall to be around - at least as much as a coach like McDaniels will commit to anything. Now McDaniels has come out again, this time in a sit-down interview with CBS4's Gary Miller and once-again expressed his desire to bring Marshall back to the Broncos -
Certainly. I mean he had a great year, a Pro Bowl year. Brandon and I got along fine and I know we've had some differences of opinion and some other things that have happened, but he's a very good player, obviously, one of the elite receivers in this league. Our goal is to try to keep all of our good players and he's certainly one of them.
We're looking to assemble the best team we can with the best talent and the best players and he's certainly proved this year that he's one of those guys in this league that's going to continue to be productive at that level every season.
