Bronco Ideas for this next season 2010

Let's haul out some ideas shall we? I mean, I am sure they are reading these blogs at Dove Valley right? So, here goes some new and challenging personnel ideas for management

I suggest taking Peyton Hillis and playing him for a change at TE.

Hillis is under used and has great abilities being currently wasted. So, since they are mad at Tony Sheffler anyway, why not trade him (inevitable anyway) for a late rounder and use Hillis, who has good hands and a desire to play football.

Tell ya what here, if the Bronco management doesn't want him again this season, I am certain Shanahan will pick him up.

Now for my personal mantra choice for QB: Tom Brandstater is the man with the talent who was not used at all last season. Kyle Orton is a backup for Brandstater in my opinion, but JM has to let the guy play for awhile and get into the practical feel of the playbook.

Cutler had a terrible season last year, but he is still a franchise QB and if we don't finally get one for the Broncos, they will be mediocre again this season. Choose Brandstater and do it early and make it known before the trades start. Otherwise, he will be number 3 behind some other name and Orton (mgmt choice) and will be developing atrophy on the bench.

Broncos please use the talent you have. Do not trade the best player on offense you have and his name is Brandon Marshall. Give him a raise that he likes and don't allow Shanahan or some other deep pockets team to take him away. "restriced free agent: restricted") so you guys have a choice.

Even though Marshall is scheduled to be a restricted free agent, Denver will likely apply their Franchise Tag (which places Marshall under a non-negotiable, one year contract) so that they can get something in return for him.

Bodog the sports betters online are saying Denver is a 50 to 1 bet on winning the 2011 Super Bowl. That alone should be challenge enough, but maybe they don't read that stuff anyway.

Marshall, Dumervil, other Broncos could testify in murder trial

Brandon Marshall, Elvis Dumervil and DJ Williams might have to testify in the murder trial of Willie Clark who has been accused of killing Darent Williams back in the wee hours of Jan 1st, 2007.

Other potential defense witnesses with ties to the Broncos are Javon Walker, Karl Paymah, Nate Webster and Demetrin Veal, all former Broncos who were Broncos in 2006.


In all, Clark's lawyer has a list of 63 people to put on the witness stand (potentially anyway) during the trial. Jury selection starts later this week in Denver. No doubt this trial will draw a lot of attention in the media.

There is another article with additional details about the progress of the case at the Denver Post: Lawyers in Denver Clash over Videos ....

Broncos not for sale - not yet anyway

I was joking a few days ago when I talked about Pat Bowlen selling the Broncos to Wyoming investors. Har har, just kidding but recently there has been buzz all over the sports world that he might be selling. Now I know I am not a big influence in sports, but is this rumor my fault? I hope not really (hee hee) because I was just kidding. Prior to that post however, there was no rumor of the sell, so one never knows does one?

Mr. Bowlen is NOT selling the team and has come forward to squash the rumors.

Bowlen will soon be 66, which is really not old man. Heck, I am chasing right behind him and I totally know he is strong and works out every day. He can run the team, and mostly the rumors have been about him getting tried of all the pressure of being an NFL owner. Well, read the article and see.

Also he wants Brandon Marshall back. Now I know one thing for sure. Brandon Marshall has had thoughts of leaving and whenever he sees the vision of coach hollering, scolding and correcting him I think those imaginings get stronger.

Mr. Bowlen of course, can speak much louder with his considerable economic clout in these matters, and I think Brandon is waiting for some numbers to indicate their interest in keeping him. We shall see. Remember how he cleaned his locker out at the end of the season? I do, and Sheffler was mad too.


Now listen up. These players are not just immature babies here. There is SOME GOOD REASON why they acted the way they did at the end of the season. I wonder what it is (I can guess of course) but not having watched what they were mad about, I can only speculate but morale is very far down on the team due to something.

By the time the trades start in March there will be more of a clue. These guys are not going to talk about whatever was bothering them, but remember MIKE NOLAN mysteriously exiting immediately after the last game, and being hired within less than 24 hours. All these Broncos are like that too and some will be traded away. There will be YES MEN and that is all there is to it. Hear me on this, the yes men will be falling in line. Mr. Bowlen wants yes men, the head of Football Operations wants yes men and the coach wants yes men.

That is his methodology, where no one is greater than the team, which in and of itself is not a bad thing. Too many stars and pouting prima donnas are not healthy, but on the other hand too much micro-management or totalitarian control is also not healthy for morale. There needs to be a balance in there somewhere, and I am just guessing that the young coach has not yet achieved that balance on this team. Again, I want to suggest a little less rules and a little more team building might be a good mix in this situation.

I wonder if there is any truth to the rumors of Donovan McNabb coming to Denver? I wonder how much of a YES MAN he could turn out to be? He certainly could be the man, but what about Tom Branstater? Future franchise QB? What did he do wrong anyway? Why not try the big guy for a game or two just for jollies? Well, that is a radical thought.

Floyd Little Inducted into the Hall of Fame

I graduated high school in 1968, so I remember very well the amazing play of Floyd Little, who has just been voted into the Football of Fame a few days ago. Our own Shannon Sharpe will be eligible next year, and fell just short for this year.

Here is the story on DenverBroncos.com

No. 44 played in Denver from 1967-75, and finished his career as the franchise's all-time leader in rushing yards and total touchdowns. His club record for career combined yardage stood until 2006, and he still sits at second in career rushing attempts in Broncos history.

A first-round pick in 1967 from Syracuse University, Little is one of the four original Broncos Ring of Fame inductees and one of just three Broncos to have his jersey retired. Now he is headed to the Hall of Fame.

"There have been so many Broncos fans who have been so supportive and have signed petitions and have really been wanting this to happen," Little said. "I can't thank the Broncos organization and their fans any more."

We loved this man, a true champion of the gridiron. The only running back to attain more rushing yards at the time was OJ Simpson. No matter what you may have to say about OJ, his football career was amazing.

"When I think about being drafted, I was supposed to go to the Jets, so when Denver drafted me I was thinking, 'Where the hell is Denver?'" Little laughed. "But it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, being drafted by the Denver Broncos and playing my whole career there."

Here's a big salute to the man of the moment in those years. Wow, I would love to have one guy like Little show up in our modern era, especially in Denver. Wonder how Floyd would do with McDaniel's "up the middle" playbook?

Will Bronco Fans be Optimistic this Season?

It is a reasonable question since the Bronco owner has made all these changes. Mike Shanahan (Mr. Football) is long gone, and the Broncos had a mediocre season under the new coach Josh McDaniels. There were some controversial issues between coach and players, and fans presented a lot of criticism of the lack of new and innovative running plays all year long.

Elway is a wonderful distant memory, and so are the 2 big Super Bowl wins. The Orange Crush, The Three Amigos, Shannon Sharpe, Rod Smith and countless other heros of the great Bronco mythology are gone, retired, commenting on networks or selling cars. Enthusiasm is at an all time low. Can Mr. Bowlen fill the stadium next season?

Are we Bronco fans indestructible, undeniable, ever suffering, never wavering and always ready for the next season of winning? I ask the question perhaps for the first time in 33 years of following the team.

Anyway, I believe the interest at peak levels has waned, but Bronco fans are resiliant and ever hopeful their team will walk the walk and talk the talk of winning, winning and more winning. Is McDaniels really the man to lead the team? Can he actually develop a running play that goes anywhere but "up the middle"?

I am looking forward to watching the events of March and April. We will see if the Denver Broncos generate the big attention this year which always marks the season opener. I miss the great players and coaches of the past, but mostly I miss seeing the 76,000 screaming fans and hearing the power of the Mile High Thunder when the game is about to start. Worried it will fade away to mediocrity.

Still, I root for Tom Brandstater, who I believe would bring the franchise a certain excitement. He needs to play, but they just did not use him. I wonder if he will disappear before the season begins? I would guess if he did go, they would play him. What ever happened to the "franchise QB concept"?

I can't hack on Kyle Orton too much. He did a good job with the tools he had, and he certainly had to mind coach. So, minding coach is a job too isn't it? I mean, gee whiz, I cannot imagine how many times a player said or talked about some subject on the "prohibited list" and got reamed, screamed or creamed. Kyle Orton worked hard and did good, and he seems like an regular All American guy.

In my opinion they could do better. Hey, I am a fan, not a player. Don't ask me to do this. But why not use the emerging talent they wanted to draft and invest in, then let sit on the bench. Where am I going with this?

No where I am sure :)

What's New Broncos - News or Rumors

According to this story on Yahoo Sports

"This offseason I'm just going to go with the flow and just go in whatever direction the Broncos want to go,"

Marshall is a restricted free agent so if he wants to stay in Denver (which surprises me boy) then okee dokee I guess, but it is hard to believe isn't it?

Here's a story out of Cincy about the Bengals considering trying to get Marshall

Another popular theory is that the Bengals could make a play for Brandon Marshall, who is currently playing nice in Denver.

To do that, the Bengals will have to sacrifice at least one draft pick since he's a restricted free agent, which depends on Denver's qualifying offer.

If the
Broncos tender Marshall to the highest allowed one-year contract for a restricted free agent, the Bengals will have to give up a first and third round pick. Second highest, a first round pick only. Third highest, a second round pick. Anything more than that it reverts to where the player was originally drafted. In Marshall's case, the Bengals would give up a fourth-round pick.

Can anyone guess what Josh McDaniels is thinking about right now?
