Good Morning, Friends! Another doozie - such a slow news day, we'll keep it all on the front page. Well, sometimes no news is actually good news...no injuries, no suspensions, no drama. The Broncos are just busy working out, learning their new playbooks and getting ready for their next mini-camp, which begins on May 26th.
DP - David Diaz-Infante has lost his part-time job calling Broncos games on KOA. Dave Logan will apparently have a new partner who works for the station full-time.
PFW - Dan Parr goes over a few hanging questions, including the status of Brandon Marshall. As many have said, Parr thinks silence from the commissioner's office portends good things.
NFL - Rod Smith helped former Rutgers WR Kenny Britt polish his route-running skills and become the Titans' first-round draft choice.
FOX - Anyone who thinks the Broncos will enter 2009 with "pretty much the same" of anything should take a peek at this list and get back to me.
KCS - Former Missouri QB Chase Patton went to the Chefs' mini-camp on a tryout basis this weekend, and now awaits the call.
SFC - Raiders All-World CB Nnamdi Asomugha is taking on a leadership role.
SFC - Here are David White's notes from the last day of Jokeland's mini-camp. First-rounder Darrius Heyward-Bey sat out again on Sunday with a sore hammy.
NFP - Here was Mike Lombardi's Sunday column.

you gotta read the article about rod smith and kenny britt. i can tell you don’t care for solomon, but in this format, he has the ability to make a decent observation. like calling out chicago’s receivers for dropping passes while grossman was there on the hot seat.
when he has a mic and nothing but time to fill on the radio, he does not always think before giving his thoughts.
Morning nyc,Thanks for Horse Tracks...

Thanks NYC!
I agree. This time of year – as hungry as I am for anything orange and blue – no news means our guys have their nose to the playbook and the grindsstone. They have a lot of work to do and it sounds like they aren’t getting distracted from that work.

Morning All
If anyone is interested, I just ran into this article from Peter King of SI about How the 32 teams stack up so far. He has the Broncos listed at 20. Here is the Link:

My Dad told me about the 4 seasons:
Pre-season
Regular-season
Post-season
Off-season
Amen, brotha!

Peter King is once again worshipping the East Coast and loving the Chargers. Just confirms for me that he knows little about what is really going on with the Broncos. I have a strong suspicion that he is going to have to eat some words – which he won’t do. I even like the chances of the Bronco’s defense. A strong defensive backfield is going to make the line and LBs look better. Ball control with Knowshon. I can’t wait for things to get going.
The crazier thing is that he had the Bears at #4
The MSM math is amazing. I mean, how good can Cutler be? In their eyes, 8-8 Broncos + tons of new D talent + special teams upgrade – Cutler = a 4-5 win drop-off. And a Bears team with attrocious OL play, no wideouts, an agining, injured defense and a desperate need to play ball-control offense will waltz to, what, 12 wins?
If he’s really that good, never mind bashing the Broncos for letting him go. Virtually every other team in the league should be getting a tongue-lashing for failing to acquire someone who single-handedly wins 4-5 football games. Analytically, that would be an expression of the exact same appraisal of his value.
Glaring error on that Fox list
of offseason additions and subtractions. Anyone else catch this one? (I didn’t read the comments there so someone probably pointed it out.)
CB Dominique Foxworth (FA, BAL)
Uh, nice try, but he played with Atlanta last year.
But yeah, wow, what an overhaul. Separate from Cutler, mostly for the better imho.
Also, John Lynch was on that list,
and I thought he retired last year.

I think it's all just 'cause
FoxSports fired all their copy editors to save money, money they needed to create tv shows like Osbournes Reloaded. ;-)
There was one interesting thing to me on that list.
Of all the teams in the AFC west, I would have thought the Broncos or MAYBE the chargers had the most pieces in place for a deep run. I would have expected a purge from KC or Oakland, but McD has indeed taken the team in a new direction.
