HOoRaYyyyy!!!! For the new video player at DB.com!! Man, I’ve been quietly cursing that old one for years! One woulda thought Andrew Mason woulda figured that one out right away back in the day! : )

Thanks for the tracks, amigo!

on Horse Tracks…

I second that Hooray broncosmontana.
 The Ravens are allegedly asking about B Marsh according to an article on Yahoo here.

The Klis article was an atrocious example of MSM-ness. I posted a comment there plugging MHR; hopefully Klis and/or others check us out.

Hope Springs Eternal or The Dove Valley Redemption.

When Kyle Orton is falsely convicted of being a bad QB, he has nothing but the enduring human spirit to drive him. In Denver, he meets the grizzled yet inspiringly whimsical Brian Dawkins and together they change the culture— indeed, they bring hope— to the dreary and hopeless institution know as Dove Valley. Through his enduring spirit, Orton survives a viscious gang called the Cynics and even wins over the yard bull MSM…but Orton has something more up his sleeve….

Man, I’m just looking forward to having some real football to talk about.

has been waived — saw that in the footnotes of an article =)

Also about Everette Pedescleaux, I had been looking at some of the footage I saw of him [tuesday evening] and had sent this to HT just to see if I was on the right track for one of my first attempts at “scouting” [preparing for going to camp saturday, ha]… these were my notes to HT:

Things that stood out to me [a lay-person]:
Always the first person on his line off the snap, sometimes by a considerable amount… his reaction to the snap seemed really quick [or the rest of his line is super slow].
 He seems very quick to react to recognizing whether the play is a run/pass
 Constantly faced double teams and seemed pretty good at getting off of them
 Tackled well, only seemed to not tackle when he was falling
  Seemed to have a good motor, always moving

He was playing DT [R and L] in a 4-3, but I could easily seem him playing LDE / RDE and maybe even NT, although I think he would need to put on some extra weight probably… I think he is listed at 305 [6’6].

I don’t know how Kirwan can get paid for writing that article on B-Marsh. Thats probably the 20th article on “Teams interested in Marshall should proceed with caution.” Whats next, an article detailing the timeline of McJaygate.

I warned you guys about Klis. He has been writing some pro-The Coach articles lately, but don’t forget that he is a baseball guy masquerading as a football writer.

Other than the two Rocky Mountain News guys at the DP and Paige (for comedy), Denver has nothing in the way of a writer that can cover the Broncos in a matter befitting what you guys expect (i.e. knowledge of the roster).

NYC – Yahoo linked their "related" Bronco news to MHR instead of the DP, DB.com or another source. Congrats, but the site is one step closer to MSM.

OK. I’ll admit that I like the MSM Power Rankings. Kind of like reading porn in my closet as a 14 year old. A guilty pleasure. I’ll often check the Power Rankings after Monday Night Football to see where the Broncos are listed. I know it’s wrong, but I do it anyway.

Fox news has RB Rankings by team ranking the Broncos at 26.

In their defense, the MSM really doesn’t know anything so how can they come up with any accuracy? Torain is the only RB held over, our FA’s have injury histories and Moreno is unproven.

Doesn’t it astonish anyone here, though, that they rank us so low when we outgained so many other teams last year and our Oline and running game coaching is intact?

I enjoy power rankings as well, but we can all agree that preseason power rankings are a pretty silly exercise. I personally don’t think much of the 2009 teams in KC, Oakland, Cleveland, Cincy or Wash DC, but a few of those teams are bound to surprise. Much like a Minnesota, Atlanta and/or Baltimore is bound to stink. Around week 5, those rankings become a great read.

In the 3-4 – does the OLB or safety cover the TE on pass routes? Or does zone coverage take this into account?

If the OLB does have one on one coverage responsibilities for the TE, which player on our roster would handle such duties?

After they went on a tear won more games than anyone else swept some pretty good teams and ESPN had them as 15th in their PR. I guess its a pleasure to look at them because we are looking into someone elses mind, just a little scary what we see sometimes.
