Broncos Elvis Dumervil back after season lost to injury - The Denver Post

I don't foresee Lloyd doing anything different than he did last year as some have said, unless of course he get's hurt and let's all hope he stays healthy...

Good morning Tim, what's on the agenda today? Tight End, Defensive Tackle or something else?

Tell you the truth, I’m getting a little tired of the Orton news. He either stays or he goes, that is up to the coaches to decide.

by bfree2bronc on Jul 31, 2011 9:31 AM MDT reply actions

I hope it is DT. lol

Marcus Thomas first then another guy somewhere somehow.

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

I also hate how the steel structures of those parks always seem to be rusted through.

Screw that. lol

I love his one liners..."Well, we get Elvis back"

When Fox has been asked about how he plans to repair a defense that had sunk so low, he usually begins with, “Well, we get Elvis back . . .”

Thanks Tim

I’m still overjoyed to have real news to read. Yard work and Nascar today to ease the FA pain.
Love the video from TC and I wonder if that sideline grab is the one Kap wrote about right there at the end….

Opinions are like......, Well anyway, this is mine.
