Guru did a good job while you were gone but having both of you is awesome!

You sound rested and ready to roll, anyway
Thanks…

Welcome back, and thanks, as always

""Perception is everything in this league, and a lot of times, unless you’re a self-promoter, it can become negative," Orton said.

This is who we have: a quiet, hard working, team first player. HALLEJULAH!

Expect some long balls this week, then what will all the naysayers have to say.

Thanks NYC, glad to see you back!

Great article on Orton.

Good to have you back

and thanks for all you do!!

Welcome back.

Broncos, I have one suggestion as far as keeping Chad 85 from revealing his “surprise” on Sunday: Keep him out of the damned end zone.

And welcome back NYC!

I get angry when I read Klis sometimes. In today’s he first states:

Others became confused when Bowlen indicated he didn’t want his coach to have autonomous control — as Shanahan did — then he ceded similar authority to McDaniels.

He then quotes Bowlen:

To say that Josh has the same responsibilities as Mike, I don’t think that’s correct. Obviously our football operations department is bigger. It’s more sophisticated. It has to be. We’ve got (general manager) Brian Xanders, who is very active.

And:

Unlike Shanahan, McDaniels and Xanders have to work more closely with Ellis on budgetary matters.

And in the end, Klis NEVER says that McDaniels does NOT have autonomous control like Shanahan. In fact, he makes it seem like Bowlen had complete control when Shanahan was here:

Then and now

Hands on: Although Pat Bowlen left football decisions to his head coaches, he did oversee them and was in charge of all other business.

Hands off: Bowlen leaves football operations to coach Josh McDaniels, but nearly all business and major football decisions are first presented to Joe Ellis, who then relays them to Bowlen.

Arrghhh Lazy reporting Klis!

Stayed at The Colony in Long Boat Key last year during the 4th of July and it was so fun.

Is anyone as disturbed by this comment by Woody on Knowshon as I am?:

I think the injury was worsened by Moreno staying in the game, and he wasn’t going to beg out. He shouldn’t have played in the game, and he shouldn’t have carried twice after he was hurt. I don’t think he is close to 100 percent for the first game, and he hasn’t been the same since the injury.

Uh-huh. Well, thanks for the diagnosis, Woodrow… He can’t know anything of the sort. I guess that once folks start asking you your opinion, it gets hard to stop when you’re completely out of your element.

There’s no evidence that Moreno was harmed by carrying twice more. It’s perfectly normal of a sprain of this sort to take this long healing. Journalism is preferable to practicing medicine without a license.

Scott Wright wrote a good piece about the dangers of top NFL prospects staying in college instead of turning pro early.

I’d have to agree with Wright. Two Oklahoma Sooners made terrible decisions to return to school instead of enter the 2009 NFL draft. Both will lose millions of dollars because of this decision.

One of the reason’s I was disappointed in the 2009 draft wasn’t so much Denver’s fault as it was the several shocking and dumb decisions of guys like Greshom, Bradford, Taylor Mays and Gerald McCoy to return for another year of college ball. Two of these guys have already harmed their draft stock.

He’s got a nice article today on the direction of our offensive line and how McD wants to get bigger. Not deep, but accurate as far as that goes. However, did anyone notice that his example, who he quotes repeatedly, is Kory Lichtensteiger. He comments that ‘Steiger is currently Wiegmann’s backup. The article was published today and ’Steiger was cut last week. Does anyone over there have a proof-reader? An editor?

Lichtensteiger, the backup to 285-pound Casey Wiegmann, says the Broncos haven’t totally moved away from their previous schemes — yet. But at the same time, it’s clear that the demands being made on the linemen require some adjustments.
“It forces you to use better technique,” he said. “I probably focus on the little things more than a person who’s naturally larger has to.”

so I’m not sure if its been mentioned. Lee Robinson was signed to the Cardinals practice squad. I’m kinda bummed he got away, as he looked promising.
