Broncos' rookie Quinn held in jail overnight(Full Story) - Mike Klis(DP)
Broncos rookie tight end Richard Quinn was held in jail overnight after an argument with his girlfriend resulted in an obstruction of telephone service harassment charge.

Attorney says Quinn did nothing wrong - Mike Klis(DP)
""This was an unfortunate personal situation," said Peter Schaffer, Quinn’s attorney and agent. ""However, I’m very proud the way Richard handled this delicate situation by defusing what otherwise could have been a potentially dangerous situation."

Marshall back, so Jackson loses spot on roster - Lindsay Jones(DP)
Even for a pass-happy offense, seven wide receivers were a bit much for a 53-man roster.

Simms a better choice at Cincy - Mark Kiszla(DP)
You think the Broncos have dealt with too much melodrama at quarterback? It has only just begun

Mailbag: Back is not the way to the future - The

Denver Post
Do you think Brian Griese or Jake Plummer could come back to Denver? ---Steven, Salt Lake City (With questions like this, you know it is another solid mailbag!)

Goodman never comfy at corner - Jeff Legwold(DP)
It's a wired world, a tweet-filled place overflowing with Facebook friends and infinite MySpace spaces, it seems. Andre Goodman knows this, for he spends his days surrounded by the young(er) and restless texters, thumb typing almost as much as they speak. And he's OK with that. Just don't ask him to log in.

Broncos rookies still absorbing steep learning curve - FrankSchwab(CSG)
When Robert Ayers was selected 18th by the Denver Broncos, it seemed likely that he’d start as a rookie.

Mornin' NYC from the Mile High City

Tell me Kiszla’s column is just him being facetious like Woody!

“When last I saw him, Kyle Orton was lounging in the press box at a football stadium in Denver, with his feet propped on a chair while he nursed a busted throwing hand as teammates played their final preseason game. He looked more ready to order a pizza than strap on a helmet.”

Kyle, when the pizza comes, stick it up his butt!

Kiszla's Article was really weak today

Why do sportswriters insist they know more about the talent of players than the coaches?
I mean I can see that McDaniel has never actually worked with any decent QB’s so he wouldn’t recognize one, even if he picked him personally.
I couldn’t even finish his article today.

What? Like Kiszla’s articles are usually strong?

If Bill Williamson is the worst sports writer on the planet (he is, it’s a FACT), Kiszla is a close second. Kiszla has no convictions. He’ll heap loads of praise on someone one week and bury them the next. Mark is a joke and has no business writing for a national newspaper.

Love the Broncos, don't like their Coach.

The turth

Anybody up for a game of turth or dare?

Turthfully

Do you swear to tell the turth, the whole turth, and nothing but the turth?

Man this is getting old fast. What is it with our team. Everytime someone else on another team makes the headlines, we have to do something to get the Broncos back in the headlines. I hope there is nothing serious about these charges or to his girlfriend.

Off topic: Kick returners?

Hey does anyone know who got the job to return kicks and punts, in at least the first game? Will it be Eddie and someone else? I assume Smith was pulled from those duties from now, or will he get a shot right to start?

Depth Chart

The latest Broncos depth chart lists Eddie #1, Hillis #2 and Smith #3. Returners are more likely to get hurt than some other positions. But the importance of the return game dictates that we put a very very good player there. So Eddie will be the returner. Smith will probably not start this year but will see a lot of time on ST’s and in nickel packages.

I thought

Royal was the PR and Smith was the KR.

Also — Willis may be on the PS because of his KR/PR ability.

Latest Depth Chart

On the Broncos site lists Eddie as #1 for both KR & PR.

Thanks

I do worry a bit about him getting hurt, would almost rather he just do one of KR or PR and have someone else handle the other but as you said it is important and there’s a drop off in return ability after him.

Hillis

So, Hillis right now is taking snaps as a returner, coverage guy on k/o, RB, FB, TE and WR. Other than that, he doesn’t seem to do that much….

lol -yeah seriously...when is he going to start pulling his weight?! ;-)

Not Only That

The guy somehow finds the time to show up to all the offseason training and camps!

Tis better not to throw it to the deep receiver but the open receiver.

He's also the one

who has been making all the personnell decisions… who to keep, who to cut, who to sign.

Just something to keep him busy I guess…

Chad Jackson's 40-yard time

Chad Jackson is the perfect example of why you shouldn’t pay a lot of attention to the 40-yard time at the Combine. His playing speed never came close to his timed speed.

His one and only catch in the AZ game was typical of his play. A true speed guy would’ve tried to out-run the CB. Instead Jackson had no confidence in his own speed and tried to side step the CB, but didn’t have the agility and quickness to get past him.

Good news

From the DP broncos blog (Lindsay Jones) and on their twitter: Both Orton and Simms practicing. Simms expects Orton to start on Sunday. But also said he’ll be ready and able to go if Orton can’t.

Special Teams

Does anyone else find it strange that Kern is the holder for field goals? I know that Orton is the backup, but having another kicker as the holder? Maybe if the snap is botched Kern can pooch a field goal? I am not aware of any rule against punting a field goal – is there?

by Endzone on Sep 8, 2009 12:59 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

From what I've seen over the years

holders are pretty even split between punters and backup QBs. They often have good hands, though maybe can’t scramble quite as well as a backup (but some of them can). In short, it’s not that unusual.

Do You Know?

Can the holder pooch a field goal or is he limited to running or passing the ball?

by Endzone on Sep 8, 2009 1:12 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Answered My Own Question

The holder can execute a “drop kick”

The last successful drop kick in the NFL was made on January 1, 2006, by New England Patriots quarterback Doug Flutie for an extra point. It was the first time in 64 years that a drop kick was converted for an extra point in the NFL.
