Jarvis Moss
Here are some notes from yesterdays team camp, the news on Jarvis Moss is disheartening
That line scared the crap out of me this morning…I though he was injured!
I’m not sure what to believe. I lurk around the internet for TC reports (but this is the only place I post…MHR > everything else), and most of the reports I’ve read have Moss looking pretty good. The article above mentions one time when Polumbus neutralized him, and the d-line coach was upset. While not a good thing, I’ve read much more good than bad on Moss thus far.
The lesson, I suppose: it’s training camp, and everything can be spun in several different ways. Preseason games will give us more.

that is why they call it Training Camp.....
everyone is going to have pratfalls, mistakes and everything else during this time. I would rather they stink it up during this time instead of during the critical games of the regular and post season.

This is the second time I've heard that Moss was getting man handled on the line.
I also read that he isn’t interested in bulking up, which means he is more concerned about himself than what the team needs. Not the kind of guy I am really ever going to get excited about. He is coming off as the selfish type to me…

Fan reports from TC
I’ve read a few reports from TC that suggest Moss is doing well, even against the run.
But, again, this training camp. Every report (positive or negative) should be taken with several large grains of salt. It is entire possible the Moss is struggling, and the reports I’ve read have been by people who didn’t notice it. We’ll start to get a clearer picture on August 9th! :o)

Never seen anything like it!
This comment has nothing to do with how he’s been playing. However, after seeing him up close at camp, I am astonished by how skinny his legs are. He looks much more like a Basketball player than a DE. It looks like I could touch my index finger to my thumb around his calves. But…who cares? As long as he plays well!

Except he is coming off a broken leg.
Maybe he has anorexia or something….

IMO
Nobody is bigger than the Broncos. Cuz last I checked the Broncos were still playing football and huge in the Denver area. Sure JE was huge and was and probably is the face of the Broncos,(JC is about to take that mantle) but he is a single person. I hate people who think one person is a bigger entity than they really are. I am willing to bet JE would say he is not bigger than the Broncos

I think what he meant was...
In Denver the heirarchy of importance goes: 1. God; 2. John Elway; 3. Everybody else!
But I agree…Nobody single individual bigger that the Broncos.

"Scouts see lots of Favre in Cutler."
O RLY. That is the best connection to the Broncos you can make about Favre? Because I seem to remember…. ahh, nevermind, you know what I’m getting at. I’m not even really that mad. I was actually expecting a quote about that Monday night game last year where we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, in which case I would have been a little upset.
I would also like to take this space to formally apologize for a previous Fanpost I made concerning Favre’s future. Now that articles like the one discussed in this edition of Horse Tracks, I am beginning to realize how ridiculous the whole madia storm over this is becomming. I, for one, am truly sick of the guy, and wish they’d just get this thing settled one way or another, so we all can just forget about it.

I used to blame the media, not Favre.
But Favre is quickly going downhill in my eyes. His latest behavior is pure selfishness.

I blame Favre
in ‘97 or ‘98 there was a sports illustrated interview with Favre where he stated ” I am the best quarterback to ever play the game” (I think that is pretty accurate-it is hard to forget) I have been done with Favre ever since—-what an ahole.

“They’ve been slacking. Sometime this week we’ll have to get someone to do it right, whether I have to do it myself or not,” linebacker D.J. Williams on the rookies’ dance performances during stretching this week.
I laughed pretty good after I finished this quote. At first I thought he was calling out some players for on field performance. Well, I guess he kind of was.

P.J. Alexander stepped it up today...
His dance was hysterical!!!
That was after Kern was dismissed was a less than inspiring performance.

Hamza, my man
Looks like we have our #1 safety. I’m glad. I’ve been pulling for him since last season. Maybe we see two 3-down safeties next season with Hamza Abdullah and Josh Barrett.

I still think John Lynch proves his worthiness to play every down except obvious passing downs.

Is there a flavor more bland than vanilla?
If so, then the power poll linked supra is it. I’m not even sure the so called “writer” even wrote it himself, much less had an original thought or any insight whatsoever. The one or two lines he provides sound an awful lot like they were cut and pasted from some of the other articles I’ ve read, and not very good ones at that.
If this be Hell, let us make the most of it!

That is, of course...
why we have MHR. : )

HORSE TRAX
What would I do without it? After ten to twelve hrs. in the sun. I get back to my computer with very little time to catch up on my favorite thing of the day! THE BRONCOS! Horse tracks, gives me all the news without having to waste time searching, because you all have done that for me! Thanx a bunch for making my life easy!!! Oh ya. The articles and the fanposts are always excellent reading as well.
As a nashville tn. Broncos fan, it is great to be able to have somewhere to get constant input that is talking about something other than the titans. Jay Cutlers senior year at Vanderbuilt U is the only time I ever payed any att. to VU football. When he was drafted by Denver, I knew that we were going to be in for some record breaking seasons down the road! I lived in denver for 6 years and moved here in the early 90’s. Needless to say… I sure miss MILE HIGH!

I feel your sentiment as well! I love HT...I liken it to being the same as my morning coffee...
Of course, when I am the one posting it…I sort of ruin the fun for myself. lol Luckily, Mdierk takes care of HT on most days.

Zappa is, of course
...talking about Horse Tracks, not Hoosierteacher. Juxtapose the terms, and you have Zappa loving Hoosierteacher, and Mdierk taking care of Hoosierteacher on most days. Ugh! Reminds me of Zappa fawning over the old guy’s avatar (FirstFan) when he thought the old guy looked like a hot young chick!
How does poor Zap get himself into these things?

Dumervil's a stud
and I would love to see him play more and hopefully get some early sacks/cause fumbles so that the opposing team is sitting at 3rd and long.
I am big fan of Scheffler every since I saw how him and Cutler work together and I would love to see him healthy for a whole season and I really think he can be a big goto guy on 3rd downs.
That line on Moss freaked me out a bit when I saw it, however when I read the article I was relieved. I know he is going to have bad practices due to the fact that his is coming off an injury. Second, I know it is only training camp and can’t wait for preseason to begin so I can see how everybody looks.

D-Rob
that article makes it sound like he has a big chip on his shoulder and I hope he takes it out on every opposing team he sees. I think he will do well this season just to say thank you to Shanny for having the faith in him to bring him to Denver. if he has a good year-it will make the whole D-line look good ( it will even help Doom-who needs no help in that department—what a stud )
