I knew he was in the dog house, but to not have even spoke to the man personally and tell him he’s released. He must have really pissed Shanny off. I had high hopes (no pun intended) for Henry when he arrived here, and he looked good the first few games. But he just isn’t the gamer that we need. I don’t want anyone on this football team who thinks they are owed anything. They need to earn it, and you can’t make the club when you’re sittin in the tub. I don’t have any ill-will toward the guy, but I am certainly not going to shed any tears over his departure. Now, we can put him behind us and get back to the players who deserve our attention. Go BRONCOS!!

I think it’s time to put it behind us. Henry was a failed experiment, and it’s best to cut it loose. I do really like the fact that other players came out and said their peice about it. It tells me we are gaining team unity and hopefully chemistry along with it. All signs so far point to a very focused and dedicated team where all the players and coaches are on the same page.

Coach Shanahan suggested that Henry came into camp in poor shape, promptly go injured, and failed to show for camp at all on Monday, even to receive therapy. Shanahan didn’t talk to him right away becuas Henry wasn’t there to have the conversation.

I was in favor of giving him this last chance based on September of last year, but Henry isn’t going to lead the league while sitting on IR, trying to rebuild his conditioning on the fly or dancing on the edge of pointlessness. Guys like him often catch on with someone else, but usually commit the same old transgressions in new ways and locations

Meanwhile, Selving Young adds 7 lbs of muscle in his offseason, comes into camp in great shape with a ‘Gimmee the danged rock’ attitude and we draft one of the two top FBs in the draft. I applaud the Broncs new direction.

Now Give Young Pittman Hall Torain Sapp Hillis and Bell the dagum ball and let me say “Travis who?” in preseason. I dont question the move but I want what was it ORANGE RUSH coming out of the backfield. I want defenses so scared becasue it doesnt matter who runs the ball we are getting 5 – 10 yards every time! JC SY MP AH TRAIN CS MB doesnt matter to me. We are gonig to run that puppy all year and then bust the big pass play. WOW, I just re read that and realized I sound like Zappa a bit. Optimistic in a big way!

Shannahan has always had ultimate authority and final say in everything Bronco, like any good leader I think he’s tried in recent years to let some of those around him actually do their jobs. After last year, he realized some of those people (Sundquist) were not living up to the responsibilities and expectations.

I think I really like the direction this team is taking now that Shannahan has completely taken over the reigns once again. Even though he knows his job is secure, it’s absolutely embarassing what the Broncos have produced these past few years and Shanny is sending the message that there will be no compromises, no half-efforts, no one is bigger than the team, etc. It refreshing to see what’s happening and exciting to think about the potential of this team!
