Broncos Acquire RB Laurence Maroney From Patriots

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Laurence MaroneyPer Adam Schefter on Twitter, this is a good pickup. The Broncos trade a 4th round draft pick for Maroney and a 6th rounder from New England. Maroney’s a decent young running back who played very well in the Pats 2007 Playoff / Super Bowl run. I like this pickup, this kid’s got talent but he’s been inconsistent. Correll Buckhalter’s been an OK #2 running back for us but he can’t seem to stay on the field. Either Buckhalter or Lance Ball is on the outs I’d imagine. This Maroney has talent and possible upside, he needs to hit the hole and hold on to the damn ball. For a fourth round pick it’s worth it, his talent is worth it and he could play well for us, especially in short yardage situations. This could either be a great pickup or just decent. I don’t think it’s a bad deal, I don’t think its a head scratcher like some people are claiming.

We’re Back and Broncos Notes

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

As you may know the site was hacked and after a few days finally I am able to get the admin accounts back into the site and all seems well (so far) I appreciate, and I’m sure Horvil does as well, your patience and thanks to some of you for firing back at that guy “PP” whatever that stands for. Hopefully they are satisfied with the attack and will leave the site alone, we’re taking every measure to bolster the site’s security.

Now for some quick Broncos notes:

Three Broncos players were hit with fines from last Monday’s horrible event. The article mentions wide receiver Chad Jackson and safety Chris Crocker may be new additions to the Broncos roster. The Post’s Mike Klis puts forth what he believes are some Broncos keys to success for after the bye week. Last Monday was the first time in a long time I actually decided not to watch the second half of the Broncos game after 10 minutes or so in. Talking with Horvil about it, he thinks there should have been more fines which I’m sure will come up in his belated analysis.

RMN’s Bernie Lincicome wonders who the real Jay Cutler is due to Cutler’s recent less than stellar performances in light of his almost flawless start to the season.

Andrew Joynt writing for CBS4Denver seems optimistic that the Broncos will make the playoffs citing weak AFC west opponents.

It’s old news, and it’s painful, but just because we weren’t able to get to it, Boss Bailey and Patrick Ramsey out for the season while Champ Bailey will sit at least a month with a groin injury.

Frank Schwab of the Colorado Springs Gazette looks at the current injury situation in Denver and mentions Brandon Stokely looks to be recovering well after his concussion.

Lastly, John Elway lays the smack down on the Raiders organization claiming JaMarcus Russell needs to get out of Oakland if he wants to find any success in the NFL.

Broncos Practice Squad Additions, Lynch Cut by Patriots

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

ESPN’s Bill Williamson reports the Broncos added S Josh Barrett, QB Darrell Hackney, Offensive lineman Mitch Erikson and Defensive lineman Steven Harris to their practice squad.

In other league news RMN reports the New England Patriots released former Broncos Safety John Lynch today.

I am certainly glad to see Darrell Hackney and Josh Barrett on the practice squad, Hackney has played well and Barrett looks to have potential. John Lynch being released by the Patriots seems to reinforce Horvil Tiki’s assessment that Shanahan was right in limiting Lynch’s playing time due to his level of play, and gives less credence to the thoughts that Lynch left the Broncos just because he didn’t think they were contenders.
