  • Runde 3,Der NFL Draft Wird Im Kommenden Jahr
    Vienna Vikings gastieren in Prag ++ Charity Bowl 2016 Am kommenden Samstag, dem 14. Mai 2016, werden die Vienna Vikings um 16 Uhr auswärts auf die Prague Black Panthers treffen. Obwohl die Vikings in Österreichs höchster Spielklasse bei vier Siegen und null Niederlagen stehen, bleibt Headcoach Chris Calaycay fokussiert: “The goal is to be 1-0 this week.” Ein Sieg in Prag soll also her, ungeachtet dessen, was die Vikings davor schon geleistet haben. Die Panthers halten momentan bei einem Sieg aus drei Spielen und möchten an die Leistungen aus der vergangenen Saison anknüpfen. Da wurde Prag nämlich für die Vikings beinahe zum Stolperstein. Diesmal soll es nicht so knapp werden. Dabei behilflich können nun endlich auch wieder einige Verletzte sein, die am Samstag wieder starten können. Unter ihnen die Wide Receiver Joey Gabrick, Dominik Bundschuh und Dominik Bubik, die der Offense ihre Schlagfertigkeit wieder zurückbringen sollen. “The focus is on playing more consistent on offense and I am looking forward to the return of many of our starters from injury.”, so Headcoach Chris Calycay. Auf Wide Receiver Stefan Postel muss verletzungsbedingt noch verzichtet werden. In Prag möchte man also auf eine 5:0-Bilanz stellen, bevor die Swarco Raiders nächste Woche bei der Charity Bowl XVIII in Wien auflaufen werden. Card AFL-Gipfeltreffen als Charity Bowl XVIII Zum 18. Mal werden die Vienna Vikings in weniger als zwei Wochen die alljährliche Charity Bowl veranstalten. Gastieren werden am 22. Mai 2016 die Swarco Raiders Tirol im Rahmen eines Spiels in der Austrian Football League. Gleich geblieben ist im Vergleich zum vergangenen Jahr der karitative Zweck: Der Erlös wird nämlich auch in diesem Jahr der Kinder- und Jugenanwaltschaft Wien zu Gute kommen.

  • O'halloran: Broncos Trading for Joe Flacco Will Be a Boon Behind The
    O’Halloran: Broncos trading for Joe Flacco will be a boon behind the scenes — and bring a sigh of relief for Vic Fangio By Ryan O’Halloran The Denver Post February 14, 2019 Ten thoughts for new Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco and his 10 career postseason wins: 1. I was guilty of overthinking the Broncos’ plans. I thought Option A might be keeping Case Keenum to begin the season but then giving the 10th overall pick (or higher) a chance to play with an eye toward 2020. Uh, not quite. The Broncos went the Conventional Route. They targeted a veteran quarterback and traded for him. Neat and simple. They also went the Old-School Route. In a developing era of mobile quarterbacks, the Broncos acquired themselves a gunslinger. 2. Flacco was 4-3 all-time against the Broncos (nine touchdowns, five interceptions). At Mile High, he won 38-35 in January 2013 (playoffs), lost 49-27 in the 2013 season opener and lost 19-13 in the 2015 season opener. The playoff win was memorable. Flacco threw a 70-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. The Ravens finished that season by beating San Francisco in the Super Bowl. 3. Flacco is 34 years old. He has never been to the Pro Bowl. He lost his job to a rookie last year. But for a fourth-round pick, he is worth the risk … and, really, it’s not a risk. What stands out about him is completion percentage (64.9 and 64.1 his last two full years), his durability (played all 16 games in nine of his 10 years) and his playoff form (10 wins).

  • Broncos' Emmanuel Sanders Sheds Walking Boot After Achilles Surgery
    LOOK: Broncos’ Emmanuel Sanders sheds walking boot after Achilles surgery By Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post Feb. 6, 2019 If Emmanuel Sanders’ dance moves are any indication, he’s reached an important milestone in his injury rehabilitation this offseason. Sanders, a ninth-year Broncos’ wide receiver who tore his Achilles during practice in December, posted a video Monday to Instagram of himself hopping out of a black Mercedes-Benz SUV — without a walking boot — before a quick celebratory jig. His caption read: “Slight limp but I’m finally out of the boot.” Two months have passed between Sanders’ injury and the post, but a long journey remains for him to be able to play. Former NFL team doctor David Chao told The Denver Post in December: “Recovery is not like a light switch, more of a slow sunrise. Some have returned as early as six months but may not have been 100 percent. Nine months is a good target but to really be explosive (it) could be longer and closer to a year. This is why I expect (Sanders) likely will not be ready or 100 percent for start of (the 2019) season.” However, Sanders expressed little doubt in December he’ll return to being the same playmaker he showcased in 12 games last season with a team-leading 71 receptions for 868 yards.
