Broncos' Brian Dawkins' youthful fire burns bright - The Denver Post
Brian Dawkins can be such a kid sometimes. It's always on game day when the Broncos' strong safety is caught not acting his age, although his inner child does not necessarily appear during the game itself but in the minutes before.
Klis: Don't believe 2011 NFL season is in peril? Time to start believing - The Denver Post
If only the end of contract talks meant nothing more than the likely departure of Champ Bailey from the Broncos.
Elway's supporting cast measured 22 Pro Bowls - The Denver Post
Know what got me in your recent column regarding Kyle Orton? You wrote, "Here's the strangest thing for a quarterback Broncomaniacs wanted to run out of town a year ago: Denver never was as dependent on John Elway to the extent this team must count on Orton now." Did Denver have the Orange Crush when Elway played? Pretty sure that was before he arrived. Was Terrell Davis a rookie in 1983? I am sure Elway might have liked a rushing attack during his three Super Bowl losses. I give Orton credit for getting up from the body slams, but we know his best is a C+.

NFL.com news: From Moss to Johnny U, these are the most impressive records
Unless you've been living on the planet Tatooine for the last week, you've probably heard by now that Randy Moss was traded to the Vikings. The various networks -- and this website -- have inundated us with video of Moss making defensive backs look silly, while mentioning his NFL-record 23 touchdown catches in one season. It's an impressive note to be sure.

McD is such a jerk for bringing in Dawkins
What a stupid jerk.
"My" big three
1. Orton has to have time to pick apart the Ravens impressive pass defense.
2. We need to get this running game going.
3. As a team we need to improve in the Red Zone.
My big three for this game all revolve around our young o-line.
GO BRONCOS!!
My glass is three quarters full at all times!
Interesting light on the Bailey negotiations. Good to know the reason why the offer was pulled off the table and that it came from Bowlen.
Funny how everyone was blaming McD and X for this. Shows how knee jerk people can be.
That’s funny. I was giving McX all the credit for doing the right thing and not signing Bailey before the CBA was figured out.
Now it turns out that Bowlen was the brains behind that excellent and correct decision.
My knee jerk reaction to applaude McX was incorrect.
Josh McDaniel's Broncos are 10 - 10. He holds a .500 winning percentage. Updated weekly.
Today
I think we can beat the Ravens, it will be a tight game but Prater will make a kick as time expires to pull it out. I think Orton has a big day, Eddie Royal is his big target and this time Dawk makes a play to turn the tide. GO BRONCOS!!!

Hochstein?? Really?
Officially on record with a 10-6 prediction for 2010! (8/21/10)

At least Daniels is inactive. That is a great start. He sucks so bad.

Was happy to see that.
BTW, this info was reported by Gary Miller on Twitter and confirmed by Max Denver and the Denver Post
Man thats scary
Is Hochstein even an upgrade? Kinda worries me Beadles hasn’t been able to get into the starting line up
mmmm i dunno if you should be worried about that.
my guess is it has to do with the fact that Beadles might be taking a lot of reps at LT/RT with injury concerns for both of them. Plus the fact that we could use a little experience on the line. Hochstein isn’t exactly good, but he’ll be better than Daniels.
Daniels is young though…he might have a place back starting at LG in the future.

Most important things:
Woodyard and Goodman are active. Goodman playing is HUGE against the Ravens.

Also good to see Bruton's injury was not bad enough to keep him out of the game
With him, Woodyard, and McBath all back on special teams this will be the most complete unit we’ve had in a while. Add in Thomas potentially returning kicks and this might just turn into a positive area for our time.
TAKE IT!!!!!!!
