Hue Jackson on Denver: 'Tell them to keep talking' | Examiner.com
"Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of things they’ve said," said Jackson. "Tell them to keep talking. It’s cool. They’ve said a lot of stuff. It’s all good. Those two wins [from last season] don’t make much difference. Somebody’s saying a lot of things over there about a couple of things. I won’t get into it right now."

Broncos' pass rush will invite plenty of screens - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
The Denver Broncos expect to see plenty of screens and draws to counter the speed they'll bring off the edge with pass-rushers Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller this season. Dumervil is one of the best defensive ends at recognizing the screen, standing up to swat passes or shut off a passing lane and pushing the tackle back into the pocket whenever offenses try to counter his speed with screens.

Boy that Hue Jackson sounds like a sharp and eloquent guy.
Al sure scored when he landed him to be the Raiders’ head coach. I’m skeered.
As the ancient Tibetan Philosophy states "Don't start none, won't be none!"
Yeah, he does sound like a quintessential Raider.
ie, King-sized douchebag.

Hue Jackson is acting like a punk now, there has been nothing said at Dove Valley other than complimentary words...
Sounds to me he might be a little scared. Having three LBers instead of 2 like he had last year will be a tremendous help on the edge running game. Last year players like Haggan, Hunter and DJ were getting stacked up against their OLine opening up huge holes to the outside. This year Elvis had made strides in his run stopping game and we will see a different defensive attack against these bozos!
How can ESPN pick the Broncos
we have so much speed, the kind you snort and the kind that can run fast /s/ toolish denizens of the Black Hole

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!

The Broncos stop McFadden and they win the game, their passing attack against us won't prevail with Champ at the slot...
I like our chances more in this game than I do the next week against Cincy.
Let's be 1-0 when we play the Bengals
and go from there, at least Carson Palmer doesn’t want to play for them

Yup! I usually feel sorry for raiders coaches, but not this guy :P
No matter who starts at QB, we will be 8-8 or better (8-2-11) Official projection 10-6 (9-6-11)

He betrayed a lack of confidence in his team....
if he has to manufacture some ghost quote out of our locker room to get them motivated. Makes me think now more than prior to reading that story that Denver wins on Monday.
Maya: "What are your first impressions of Denver?"
Mozgov: "I must break you..."
It's just what my coworker does
when he’s a horse’s south end to me and can’t get under my skin, he fabricates lies about me to try and piss me off. OK, that’s what Raiders and delta bravos do. Keep it up Hue Jackson, you are quite comical, your debut will be disappointing to any Raiders officials that aren’t named the Cryptkeeper

Are those pictures supposed to be different? If so, I'm not seeing it...
Respect is not given it is earned dog gonit...and they don't respect us...nobody respects us... you know what you got to do in that situation? TAKE IT!!!!!
Bring it Hue
can’t wait till the boys in orange and blue shut these raiders and their fans up!
Release the Tebow!
Anyone wanna get a pool going on when he gets the axe from Al this season?
I see them being 4-6 at best come week ten. If they do that well, I think he keeps his job until the end of the season. Worse than that and he gets fired in a typical Al Davis snit fit.
As the ancient Tibetan Philosophy states "Don't start none, won't be none!"
Scuse me, 4-5. herp de derp. Need an edit feature.
As the ancient Tibetan Philosophy states "Don't start none, won't be none!"
Unsure...The preview button works just fine. I get in a hurry sometimes and after I reread what I wrote I have those WTH moments.
As long as the point get’s across it’s OK…
well
If Hue can run fast, Al won’t catch him, thus he’ll keep his job.
Al is like Freddy Krueger, if he can catch in his claws, then your done. That’s why Al likes to draft solely for speed. He doesn’t like to catch people, he just does it because they are slow
who wears short shorts?
Who will those 4 wins be against?

Bills, Chiefs, maybe the Browns, maybe one of their two games against us.
They’re not beating the Jets, Pats, or Chargers, and I doubt they’ll beat the Texans. They won’t sweep us.
As the ancient Tibetan Philosophy states "Don't start none, won't be none!"
Really Woody?!
It’s the opening weekend, plus Raider week, and you are going with McSpyGate?! again?! Really????
Hue sounds liks a babbling idiot...
Ugh I don’t know… I don’t know non bout that either. Um I dont know yet. Ill let ou find that out from someone else from me cause I haven’t thought about that yet.
Yea I heard them say stuff. They say alot of stuff. They say stuff about stuff that I don’t know about.
I had to lul when I read that. But I will have to say LONG LIVE AL DAVIS. As long as he’s around the faiders will be the laughing stock of the NFL.

Watching the opener last night
made me realize how much the Broncos have been missing a tight end who can catch the ball. Gives the defense so much more to worry about. Hope Julius Thomas can be that guy, he looks neat: big tall basketball player like Jimmy Graham.
i keep dancing on my own.
While Fox was being interviewed
I noticed Von Miller as one of the last on the field… he was in the background dragging Joe Mays’ pads off to the locker room. I dig it
Oh, and nicely done Hue Jackson. I’m not really sure I believe you when you say you hear what gets talked about in the Broncos locker room. In fact, I’m pretty sure you heard some sort of irrelevant heresay and chose to make it public. Not only was that an ultra classy move, but it also reeks of veteran maturity
Taking back our house one MF sack at a time...VonDoomin' 'em in the ear hole... Game On!
It was that same Broncos chef that was dissning Tebow
That chef is a real troublemaker!!
Maya: "What are your first impressions of Denver?"
Mozgov: "I must break you..."
That has been noted before that Miller is one of the last to leave the practice field...
Running wind sprints. I love this kids tenacity.
Thanks, Zap . . .
I, for one, really appreciate what you contribute to MHR and for keeping us in the know.
Regarding Jackson, I didn’t really know a lot about him before. Now I know all need to know. In one presser, he revealed himself as a jerk . . .

Hey no problem.
I especially enjoy it when I don’t have to put an Orton or Tebow story above the fold. :)

I think Hue is doing this toight some sort of fake fire under his team
…as he knows his team will stink it up and lighting a fire might get him a W. Haha, very funny…

I actually had some respect for Cable
After reading Hue’s interview, that guy is an idiot. Seriously, not even naming the captains to the media, and answering every question in a smart aleck way, who is this guy?
On a side note: Way to go Al Davis
Thanks Tim
Appreciate the Tracks! I knew I liked it when Al Davis fired Tom Cable, for more than just the reason that he was actually improving their team year to year. =D

Anybody get the feeling that coach Jackson is bringing McFadden back a little soon after his Orbital bone fracture?
Those things take time to heal and he may suffer from migrains…
It's not my problem
