Broncos Notes 8/17

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

The Broncos made a good showing in their 23 to 13 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in preseason action last night. The Rocky Mountain News article states “Cutler shines in Broncos win over Cowboys” and mentions rookie WR Eddie Royal certainly looked good as well. CBS4Denver states “Marshall Gets Best of Jones as Denver Tops Dallas.”

The official site of the team, Denver Broncos.com offers up a piece entitled “Offense Astounding” that is loaded with quotes from the players. Also appearing on the website is an article “Steadily Improving” that centers on the offense, Eddie Royal’s emergence as a starting receiver and the somewhat embarrassing end to cornerback Jack Williams 4th quarter interception.

This Denver Post article praises the first string offense, while another commends an improved defense and yet another reveals backup QB Patrick Ramsey braved last nights game shortly after his grandmother died on Thursday and his wife gave birth to his second child on Friday. In other news, a couple Denver Post stories mention John Lynch’s migration to the Patriots, and the second found here receives commentary from our own Horvil Tiki:

Maybee Lynch forget Bronco own patrot, send packing for school lunch in afc titel match Baily pict off goal line pass run all way back guy, all way. That with dude where my car plumber now Shanhan has have protegee propeller arm Cutsler pict 11 steal of draft.

Bronco Notes 8/14

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

The intensity of the Broncos practices with Dallas seem to be amping up. CBS4Denver reports Brandon Marshall beat Adam “Pacman” Jones on a deep route for a touchdown during the morning practice. He later said Adam Jones isn’t even as good as “Pacman” Jones among other things:

“As a (defensive back) in the NFL press coverage is how you’re supposed to make your money. So let’s get it. I said, ‘let’s go deep.’ We went deep. We were 100 percent going deep on Pacman Jones, I mean, Adam, sorry. And we won.”

CBS4’s Reggie Rivers also relays that during today’s practice a scuffle broke out between Dallas offensive guard Flozell Adams and Broncos defensive tackle Marcus Thomas. What ignited the minor altercation was Thomas evading the blocks of the Dallas line and tackling their running back for a loss.

In other news, former Broncos safety John Lynch will sign with the New England Patriots. The teams will play each other October 20 on Monday Night Football.
