It's not my team. They have a stake in it too."

By Mike Klis The Denver Post August 18, 2013

Time can play tricks on everyone, and it's no different for Pat Bowlen.

Bowlen has been the Broncos' owner for going on his 30th season. Long enough for Keith Bishop to go from one of his starting guards to head of team security. Long enough for John Elway to go from second-year quarterback to head of football operations. Long enough for a lifetime.

And sometimes it hurries.

Bowlen is only eight victories from becoming the ninth individual owner in NFL history to reach 300 wins. If the Broncos meet expectations this season, Bowlen will join the 300 club the fastest.

"I couldn't tell you I thought it was going to become what it is," Bowlen said. "When you get into this business, at an age when you're a lot younger than I am now (69), you don't really know what you're doing. It takes you a while to adjust. To me it was a real challenge. It was a fun deal. You have your disappointments. You have your losses and your wins. When you come in and buy a football team, you don't really understand the picture until you're there for a while."

On the wall behind Bowlen's desk is not any Broncos-related picture, but a large black-and-white drawing by Italian artist Aldo Luongo. There are two Luongo art pieces on the back wall that Bowlen bought 20 years ago during a trip to Italy.

On a recent morning, Bowlen is at a table near his glass-enclosed, walk-out, second-floor deck, in front of an overhanging palm tree-like plant whose pointy leaves need to be pushed away.

He looks out the window.

"Well, we filled up over there," Bowlen said, observing the morning crowd at training camp last week. Between the fans on the far berm and Bowlen were his players on the practice fields. When Bowlen bought the Broncos in March 1984, a strong base of the team's popularity awaited. The 1977 Orange Crush team drew manic support, and the acquisition of John Elway the quarterback in 1983 added another layer of excitement.

Bowlen built on that mania. The Broncos' sellout streak has grown to 333 consecutive home games. Pity the other programming on the hundreds of available channels when the Broncos are playing on TV.

He has nourished the fan base with an insatiable will to win.

"This is their team," Bowlen said, looking at his loyal gathering below. "It's not my team. I think if you manage your club well, the fans appreciate that. They have a stake in it too. They buy tickets."

Broncos staying in the family

No matter how much winning helps make time fly, it waits for no one. Time reaches that point where one has to think about the day it runs out.

"If something were to happen to me, I've already made this clear: This team is going to stay in the Bowlen family no matter what," Bowlen said. "It's a great asset. And it's a lot of fun if you do it right."

Bowlen has had fun, put it that way. Know what the most amazing building block to the brink of 300 wins has been? No, not the five Super Bowl seasons, as much as they helped boost the overall record.

No, the most astonishing feat in Bowlen's stewardship is the Broncos have had only five losing seasons in 29 years. Wonder what the fans in Detroit, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, Buffalo, Arizona, St. Louis or Oakland, to name a bunch, think about an owner who's had only five losing records in 29 seasons.

"He's a resource, no doubt," said Broncos coach John Fox. "The success he's had, the consistency. And you look inside of that. He's here all the time. He's encouraging. He's upbeat."

For going on 30 years, Bowlen has been in his office nearly every day during the season. His management style is instructive in that his employees know he's in the building, paying attention, yet he doesn't micromanage.

"He's got a good feel for that, but I will tell you this: He knows when to apply pressure in a timely way. That's a knack he has," Elway said.

Look at how Bowlen treated his four head coaches before Fox was hired. With Dan Reeves and Mike Shanahan, he showed loyalty. He was patient through the occasional lean season, allowing their tenures to exceed a decade. But with Wade Phillips and Josh McDaniels, Bowlen demonstrated that he wasn't married to a philosophy. Neither coach went past his second season. Bowlen believed Shanahan was an upgrade from Phillips. In McDaniels, Bowlen realized a mistake and didn't wait to correct it.

"When you bring your coaches in and you have the opportunity to see what they can do, it doesn't take you very long to decide whether this guy is going to make it or not," Bowlen said. "Your instincts have to be there. Sometimes you're right and sometimes you're wrong. And when you're wrong, you have to understand that and let it go. That's my responsibility."

Bowlen experienced his worst season as an owner in 2010. After that 4-12 disaster, he brought in Elway to run the football department and Fox the coaching staff. Badabing, badaboom, the Broncos won the AFC West and a playoff game in the 2011 season.

"Not a bad season, but not a great season either," Bowlen said as he walked out of Gillette Stadium after the Broncos' playoff loss at New England. "I want a great season."

And so, Peyton Manning was brought in to play quarterback. From four wins in 2010, the Broncos went 13-3 in 2012. Let other teams go through their three- to five-year rebuilding process. Bowlen has gone 14 seasons without hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy. His team is the prohibitive favorite to do so this season.

"Yeah, I'm anxious," Bowlen said. "But I'm also optimistic. My goal is the same as every season: 16-0. Win the Super Bowl. I'm smart enough to know we're not going to win it every year. But I always think I can."

"I'm feeling great"

Fox worked with six NFL owners before he came to Denver. For Elway and Broncos president Joe Ellis, Bowlen is pretty much the only owner they have known.

Bowlen, who is shy by nature, has gone in recent years from a reluctant place in the spotlight to operating in the background. This has stirred speculation that he no longer has a substantial role running the team.

"Not true," Ellis said. "We bring decisions to him, whether it's John Elway on the football side or myself on the business side. He wants it that way. If he doesn't agree with them or they don't make sense or he can tweak them to make them better, he says so." Ever fit and tan, Bowlen said, "I'm feeling great. I'm ready to go out and do the Ironman again."

Seriously?

"No," he said, laughing. "I'm done with that."

It's been a couple of years since he jogged the Highline Trail. His back doesn't like it.

"That's what happens when you're running on pavement; your back goes out a lot earlier," Bowlen said. "I can run for 5 miles, maybe. But for the most part, running has become passé."

Bowlen is an elliptical guy now. He works out nearly every day.

In more ways than one, Bowlen will reach the 300-win milestone in great shape. The records of Bill Bidwill, Ralph Wilson and William Clay Ford indicate the milestone can be more about longevity than success. In Bowlen's case, though, it's both. His .595 winning percentage is better than all those he's about to join.

"They're friends of mine," Bowlen said. "I like to compete with them. I can pick up the phone today and call Dan Rooney and joke with him, 'Hey, I see you got your rear end kicked.' I like that fraternal stuff. You've got to have that relationship with the other owners."

Even Al Davis, the rogue owner of the rival Raiders who died two years ago?

"Al and I, we were sort of like this," Bowlen said as he clashed his two fists together. "But I understood him. I understood why he was that way. So it didn't really bother me. If he didn't like me, he would tell me. So it wasn't any big deal to me. I liked Al in some capacity. I respected what he was doing."

Only three of the eight individual owners with at least 300 NFL victories are still alive. Bidwill is 82. Ford is 88. Wilson is 94.

Bowlen is not yet 70. From outside his office windows, he soon will see an indoor practice facility being built. The plan is for the Broncos to be practicing in their new building during those stormy afternoons of 2014.

Time moves quickly and Bowlen keeps up.

"I've been blessed. I was around Wellington Mara when I was with the Giants," Fox said. "I was with the Steelers, and even though I was never around 'The Chief' (Art Rooney), Dan Rooney has been a well- respected owner around the league. "Two of those guys I mentioned are in the Hall of Fame, and I think ours will be. This is only my third season with 'Mr. B,' but it didn't take very long to see why they've been successful here."

Successful ownership

Pat Bowlen of the Broncos ranks 10th in NFL history in victories among individual owners:

Owner, team, W-L

1. George Halas, Bears, 463-318

2. Al Davis, Raiders, 413-314

3. Bud Adams, Titans, 406-425

4. Ralph Wilson, Bills, 384-440

5. Lamar Hunt, Chiefs, 381-332

6. Art Rooney, Steelers, 334-362

7. Bill Bidwill, Cardinals, 328-446

7. William Clay Ford, Lions, 328-458

9. Wellington Mara, Giants, 297-332

10. Pat Bowlen, Broncos, 292-199

Stanford to retire John Elway's No. 7 jersey

By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press August 6, 2013

STANFORD, Calif. — Thirty years after he left school, Stanford football is retiring John Elway's No. 7 jersey.

The former Cardinal quarterback and No. 1 overall pick of the 1983 NFL draft will have his jersey retired during halftime of Stanford's home game against Oregon on Nov. 7. Elway, now the executive vice president of the Denver Broncos, will be only the third player to have his jersey enshrined by the school, joining Ernie Nevers ( No. 1) and Jim Plunkett (No. 16).

"I am extremely humbled that Stanford has chosen to recognize me in this very special way," Elway said in a statement released by the university. "It's a tremendous honor to join Cardinal legends Ernie Nevers and Jim Plunkett with this distinction. Being a student-athlete at Stanford and earning my degree from the school are two things I take the utmost pride in accomplishing.

"Without question, my four years at Stanford played an integral role in who I am and any success I've had. In particular, my teammates and coaches deserve so much credit for making me better, both on and off the field. I will always cherish my time on campus as well as the friendships from Stanford that have lasted more than 30 years. I look forward to returning for this occasion and celebrating with the great Cardinal fans."

Wide receiver Ty Montgomery and defensive end Aziz Shittu both wear No. 7 currently. They will be the last to wear that jersey at Stanford.

Elway threw for 9,349 yards and 77 touchdowns while completing 62 percent of his passes at Stanford. He held nearly every major passing record—most of them since shattered by Andrew Luck—when he left school. Elway still owns the single-game record with six touchdown passes in a 54-13 win against Oregon State on Nov. 1, 1980.

Elway was the Pac-10 Conference Player of the Year in 1980 and 1982, when he also was a consensus All-American. After the Cardinal lost at rival California on the infamous lateral play in his final collegiate game, Elway finished second to Herschel Walker in the 1982 Heisman Trophy voting. The Baltimore Colts drafted Elway with the top pick in the 1983 draft and traded him to Denver, where he led the Broncos to five Super Bowl appearances and two titles. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004.

"Today is an exciting day for Stanford football, and you can't talk about Stanford football without talking about John Elway," said third-year Cardinal coach David Shaw. "Like Frankie Albert and Jim Plunkett before him, John's Elway's greatness set the standard for quarterback play for a generation of athletes."



Q&A With Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio

Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio talks about competition on the defense as he enters his second season with the Broncos

Stuart Zaas DenverBroncos.com Jul 16, 2013

Editor’s note: DenverBroncos.com sat down with the assistant coaches to talk about their position groups before the coaches left Dove Valley for vacations in mid-June.

How has the competition at middle linebacker looked during this period of OTAs and minicamp? “We’ve given everybody a fair shot at getting some time in there and establishing themselves. It’s been good competition. They’re learning the system and taking charge. They’re doing the things that we need a linebacker to do for us to be successful.”

What do you look for in that middle linebacker position? “You try and maximize what a guy is capable of doing and how he fits in with what you want to get done defensively. So often, in today’s NFL, you get into sub-groups and you can take a third guy off. It could be the 'Mike', it could be the 'Will', it could be the 'Sam'. We just happen to have a really gifted 'Sam' that moves down to defensive end in Von Miller. We know that there’s a chance that we could end up keeping three linebackers on the field regardless. It just depends upon who they are and whether the 'Mike' can be a guy that can also cover the backs and tight ends in sub situations. If he is, that’s a bonus."

How does practicing against your own offense help prepare the defense for other teams that can run an up-tempo offense at times? “I think the good thing about our offense is that we do a lot of different things. We do really good things, but we work out of all the various personnel groupings. We’ll go all the way from four or five wide receivers all the way to a bunch of tight ends and backs in power sets. That’s great for us because we kind of cover the whole gamut of what we’re going to experience throughout the season, so that’s really beneficial to us. And then, obviously, when you have a talented group of receivers, a Hall-of-Fame quarterback, a really talented backfield – when you have people like that who you’re competing against, that certainly helps you prepare.”

With the way that teams use tight ends in the passing game today, how does it help to have a guy like Quentin Jammer who can cover as a corner or play safety? “Well, that’s the idea. When we acquired him and signed him, we really spent the time he was here this spring trying to bring him up to speed. Now, when we get into camp, he should be able to compete for a spot. The whole idea was to get him up to speed as quickly as possible so that he has a chance to compete. He’s a physical player, he’s got the coverage skills necessary to cover and has done that very well for a long time as a corner. Now to be able to slide in and give us some help on the tight ends that we face, hopefully he’s able to take that step and get comfortable within our system and we can take advantage of his skillset.”

How important is it to have guys like Jammer and Chris Harris who are versatile and can play inside or outside? “It’s with the demands of today’s NFL. You’d like to have numbers in the secondary and keep them all healthy. That’s the key. But certainly, we’ve done a good job of acquiring a competitive group and now it’s up to us to work them and maximize their abilities. We want to make it tough for a quarterback to operate. We want to challenge all throws. We want to be a group that will tackle, leverage and tackle, and minimize big plays. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us, but we’ve had a good, solid spring thus far in preparing ourselves for the season.”

What’s made Chris Harris so good and why did no one see that coming out of college? “It’s hard to measure the heart. His drive, his determination, his will – he’s a good football player. When you put on the tape, Chris is getting his job done. He’s no- nonsense in his approach and he’s just a productive football player. How or why doesn’t really matter at this point. Once you get into the league, when you get invited to camp, it’s about what you do when you’re there. He’s clearly taken full advantage of that.”

What’s that matchup between Chris and Wes Welker like in practice, and how has that made each of them better? “Obviously having a slot like Wes to cover day-in and day-out is going to sharpen your skills. I think Chris has embraced the challenge of working against one of the very best and he’s held his own. He’s battled tough all spring and I’m sure it’ll continue into the fall.”

How has Jeremy Beal looked as he comes back from last year's season-ending injury? “Jeremy’s a good, young player who had an unfortunate injury last year. We’re glad to have him back and healthy. He’s in the mix at defensive end. With our situation in the defensive line, we’re trying to make it as competitive as possible, to let guys fight for their position, fight for their playing time, fight for their role, and let it play out in camp. That is the one area where I really can’t wait to get to fall camp, where we put the pads on and really determine who can help us in the trenches.”

123 4 Denver Broncos putting trust in new coordinator Adam Gase

By Albert Breer NFL.com August 16, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Maybe it's not the kid in driver's ed being given the keys to a race car and told that anything less than taking the checkered flag at the Indy 500 would be an abject failure.

But for 35-year-old Adam Gase, becoming the Denver Broncos' offensive coordinator most assuredly comes with strings attached.

Last season, with Mike McCoy as coordinator and Gase as quarterbacks coach, Denver's offense ranked second in points and fourth in yards. The Broncos enter 2013 with an all-time great at quarterback in Peyton Manning. They added one of the NFL's most prolific pass-catchers of the past half-decade, Wes Welker, to supplement what is perhaps football's best tandem of young receivers (Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker). They have a $57.5 million left tackle, Ryan Clady, anchoring the line.

You could say that Gase, who got the job after McCoy left to coach the San Diego Chargers, won't have much of a honeymoon period.

And you can also say that, for now, he's not worried much. Maybe because he can't be.

"I mean, coaches are in a box, man," he said, on this chamber of commerce practice day. "You're in it for where you are. Right now, we're in the training camp box. We're focused on tomorrow -- or this afternoon, really, because we gotta go to walkthrough. And then when the next day comes, we'll focus on that. And then when it's time to focus on (Saturday's preseason game against) Seattle, we're prepared for that. You start worrying about all the other crap, and it doesn't do anything for you."

The cynic could assert that, in simple terms, Gase's job is to avoid steering this luxury liner into an iceberg.

The reason that neither he nor the Broncos view this situation like that should go a long way toward explaining how he landed in this position -- with the keys to the Ferrari -- in the first place.

"Adam spent more time with Peyton Manning than anybody," said Gase's boss, Broncos head coach John Fox. "That's what people don't understand. 'Coordinator' is just a title. I think it was a logical move, in that he's a very bright mind, he had a great relationship with Peyton as his position coach, and rather than start from square one -- we could've hired anybody; anyone would want this job -- it seemed like a natural step to let Adam do it."

See, the point about Manning is part of a larger equation here. Gase was also the Broncos' receivers coach when Decker and Thomas were rookies. He worked under former Broncos coach -- and current New England Patriots coordinator -- Josh McDaniels, whose system is what Welker is most familiar with. In his fifth year in Denver, Gase is among the most tenured staff members, with relationships up and down the roster.

All of that is just what the doctor ordered here.

Last year, the offense was still evolving after three solid years of tumult and change. The starting quarterback, who was playing in a new system for the first time in 14 years, was coming off multiple neck surgeries. All that showed early, too.

That this year's significant adjustments aren't going to shake the overall stability of the group is important. It'll help early, Gase thinks, and make the Broncos better late in the year -- in fact, it has already paid dividends.

"It doesn't feel like, 'Hey, you're being vaulted into this position,' " he said. "It's more, 'As a group, hey, we're staying together.' We can continue going on the path we were going last year, as far as getting better on offense, making sure we're clicking on all cylinders when we get to Week 1 instead of getting to Week 5 or Week 6 and still feeling our way out. Now, it's like, we're sticking together, and we should be good right from the beginning."

That's not to say it'll be easy. Gase knows it won't be.

The standards are high to begin with, based on the previous results, but the stiffest challenge for the Broncos' new offensive coordinator might just come from within. Gase can recall what McDaniels told him about the pressure associated with coaching Tom Brady. Gase already had a taste of that with Manning last year, and he's well aware that the heat will now be turned up a notch.

"(McDaniels) would tell me stories, he would have to go in and say, 'I gotta be on this, I have to know the running game, because (Brady is) gonna ask me this, this and this,' " Gase said. "And when you are associated with an offense with a quarterback with experience that has his background, that has so many things that he does recall -- 'Hey, I remember when so-and-so did this,' -- you almost have to anticipate the possible things he could ask you. You gotta be on it."

There are a few reasons that the Broncos trust Gase will be. First, there's the relationship he's forged with Manning -- both are "competitive perfectionists," per Fox. Second, he's earned a reputation in the building as a bright, rising star. Third, Gase is used to being the young guy in the room. At 29, he became quarterbacks coach for the Detroit Lions -- who had a 35-year-old signal-caller, Jon Kitna, running the show at the time. That experience taught him that you'll be fine if you can help the players improve.

Gase sees plenty of places where improvement is needed. The Broncos must avoid slow starts and build consistency in the running game. They have to be better on early downs, so they're not trying to climb out of self-dug holes late.

However, room for improvement is, to be sure, limited. And that's where so many would see pressure on Gase. But that's where he sees opportunity.

"You got a great coaching staff," he said. "You have a lot of guys that are working in the same direction, and that makes my job, the position coaches' jobs, we all do our part, and try and push it in the right way, push it in the right direction."

You could definitely say that he's gotten a little bit of a head start when it comes to that.

And if his job is just to keep it going, well, then he seems fine with that, too.

Get to Know: Jay Rodgers

Stuart Zaas DenverBroncos.com December 25, 2012

*EDITOR'S NOTE: This story originally ran in the Week 16 Gameday program, when the Broncos defeated the Cleveland Browns 34-12.

How has defensive end Elvis Dumervil’s leadership evolved now that he is a captain? “I think any time you have a guy who has a lot of experience and can share those experiences with the younger guys as well as do it himself, I think it’s invaluable that that kind of communication lines are open to the young guys. They can go to him and say, ‘Hey, what do you think about this?’ or ‘What do you think about that?’ Elvis has done a great job of leading those guys.”

What have you seen from veteran defensive tackles Justin Bannan and Kevin Vickerson? “I think we’ve been consistent. I think that we’re forging a mentality to be stout versus the run and be able to get after the quarterback. So when you stop the run and you force people into third-and-long situations, we know that our two outside rushers have a chance to be able to get to the quarterback or at least close to the quarterback to cause disruption. The inside guys play a big-time role in being able to press the inside of the pocket and stop the run.”

What has defensive end Derek Wolfe’s versatility meant to the team? “Derek’s been very versatile. Very few guys in the league can play defensive end and defensive tackle. And he’s been able to do both and do it well. So the sky’s the limit for him. Him being a rookie and getting this much playing time has been a great experience for him. Now it’s just a matter of him taking those experiences and taking it to the next level as the years progress.”

Have you encountered any surprises in your first season as a defensive line coach? “There are always surprises every day. Whether it be a technique here or an adjustment there or even personality traits between guys, every day is a new adventure. We just take it one day at a time and go from there.”

Do you enjoy being able to coach on the same staff as your brother Jeff, who is the team’s special teams coordinator? “It’s been great. We hadn’t lived in the same town since high school until last year. So it’s been a great opportunity for us to not only live in the same town, but him to be able to experience my kids and be an Uncle Jeff. At the same time, I’m sure mom and dad don’t mind just one destination for football games rather than have to spit time and go two places.” 5674 2

In Denver Broncos' front office, veterans form core for scouting, health

Jeff Legwold The Denver Post August 15, 2012

Today's question about the Broncos comes from Darryl Gibbens:

Q: Who is the longest tenured staff member on the Broncos? My best guess is Steve Antonopulos. I recall seeing him on the sidelines when Red Miller was coach. So, how about some nods to the heroes behind the scenes?

A: Darryl, your guess is right on the money, at least on the football side of the team's staff directory.

All you have to do is stroll by the vast array of team pictures the Broncos have adorning a hallway or two in their Dove Valley complex and it's clear just how long Steve Antonopulos has been with the organization.

There he is in the photos, a few spots down from Red Miller. There he is a few spots down from Dan Reeves. There he is a few spots down from Wade Phillips, Mike Shanahan, Josh McDaniels and now John Fox. The Broncos' head trainer has been with the team longer than Pat Bowlen has owned it — Bowlen is in his 29th season of ownsership.

In all, this is Antonopulos' 36th season with the Broncos.

Antonopulos, called "Greek," by most everyone in the league, helped monitor the playing health of all of the players in all of those photos, including John Elway throughout Elway's playing career. Elway is now Antonopulos' boss with the Hall of Fame quarterback having been named the team's executive vice president of football operations in January of 2011.

Vice president of corporate communications Jim Saccomano is in his 35th year with the team and for most of those seasons handled media relations for the coaching staff, front office and players.

Midwest area scout Scott DiStefano, a former quarterback at CSU, is now in his 31st year with the Broncos. When he started with the team in addition to his scouting duties he also aided then assistant head coach-defensive coordinator Joe Collier break down game film.

Southwest area scout Cornell Green started with the Broncos in 1987, so he's in his 26th year with the franchise. Green was selected to the Pro Bowl seven times in his playing career with the Cowboys despite the fact he was an undrafted player when he broke into the league.

The Broncos video staff has had plenty of staying power. Video operations manager Gary McCune is now in his 21st season, having started with the team when Reeves was head coach. Also, video assistant Kirt Horiuchi is in his 19th season and current video director Steve Boxer is in his 16th season.

The Broncos' turf manager, Troy Smith, started with the Broncos in 1994 and is now in his 19th year with the organization.

Among the football-related staff, Elway is likely next in line with 18 years with the franchise, 16 of those coming as a player.

Then there's assistant special teams coach Keith Burns, who is in his 17th year with the team, six of those as an assistant coach, 11 as a player over two stints with Denver.

Burns also played one season each in Chicago (1999) and Tampa Bay (2004). He played for the Broncos 1996-98 (he was a seventh-round draft pick in '94), 2000- 03 and 2005-06. He joined Shanahan's coaching staff immediately following his playing career.

The Broncos' equipment manager, Chris Valenti, is now in his 16th season with the team, having started in 1997, the first of back-to-back Super Bowl seasons for the Broncos.

College scouting coordinator Dave Bratten is in his 14th season with the team, his 12th year in scouting. An Arvada native, Bratten started with the Broncos as a media relations intern, working for Saccomano, in 1997.

And in what is likely a testament to the loyalty Bowlen often shows the folks who work for him, that's the list and a fairly large one in a business that, for most teams in the league, often sees so much change on the football side of things. < 8 1

C.J. Anderson continues to impress Denver Broncos at running back

By Caitlin Swieca The Denver Post August 13, 2013

Broncos running back C.J. Anderson is used to crowded backfields. In his senior year of college at Cal-Berkeley, Anderson ran for 790 yards on 126 carries, despite battling two other running backs for playing time.

The lessons learned from that experience have come in handy as Anderson, an undrafted rookie, tries to earn a spot on the Broncos' roster.

"Just be patient, stay in your playbook, know your assignments, know what to do and keep showing up," Anderson said. "When you get your opportunity in the game, perform, and things will get better for you."

So far, that method has worked well for Anderson, who became one of the surprises of the preseason when he ran for 69 yards on 15 carries in the team's first preseason game last week at San Francisco.

The Broncos' top three running backs — Ronnie Hillman, Montee Ball and Knowshon Moreno — are all locks to make the roster. Anderson is competing with three other running backs to earn a spot on the team. Though the odds are long, his standout performance seems to have given him an edge in the competition.

Although Anderson's carries against the 49ers came against second- and third- teamers, his performance has seemingly moved him up the depth chart at Dove Valley. Anderson worked with quarterback Brock Osweiler and the second team Tuesday and scored two touchdowns in a goal-line drill.

"Each one of these opportunities are a chance for them to get better, and he's taken full advantage of it. We reward performance," coach John Fox said. "He'll earn the time he deserves."

Anderson, who played the first two years of his college career at Laney College in California, said that he changed his mind-set and work ethic after his junior year at California, when he ran for only 345 yards on 72 attempts.

"My junior year at Cal, I thought I was already it, going to a big-time D-1 school and thinking you're the man already," Anderson said. "I never knew I had to put in the work....Coming in here, you have to work. If you don't clock in every day, you're going to be cut or your reps start getting limited, and I just don't want that to happen." Now that he's grabbed the spotlight at Dove Valley, Anderson will try to continue his eye-catching preseason heading into Saturday's preseason game in Seattle.

"Fifteen carries for 69 yards, that's solid," Anderson said. "I'm the kind of player that wants 15 carries for 100 yards. I've got goals for myself and I'm still hungry, but I don't feel any pressure at all."

RB hopes to keep Broncos' undrafted streak going

DENVER (AP) — An undrafted college free agent has made Denver's Week 1 roster in each of the last nine seasons. C.J. Anderson aims to keep that streak going.

The former University of California running back has been the untold story of the Broncos' training camp, toiling as he has behind second-round draft pick Montee Ball, second-year speedster Ronnie Hillman and former first-rounder Knowshon Moreno in Denver's dynamic backfield.

Nobody's talking about him thumping that trio anytime soon, but he's certainly put himself into the mix for making the 53-man roster after rushing for a game-high 69 yards on 15 carries Thursday night in Denver's 10-6 preseason win at San Francisco.

Although Anderson isn't as assignment-sound or as consistent as the three backs ahead of him on the depth chart, Jacob Hester, Lance Ball and Jeremiah Johnson could find themselves the victims of Anderson's solid summer if he has another preseason game or two like he did Thursday night.

"We're bringing him along," offensive coordinator Adam Gase said. "(He's a) younger guy that was an undrafted free agent; you can't just throw him right in with what's going on with the 1s. It's a process for him, and I think he's trying to get caught up to speed as quickly as possible."

With the Broncos getting better, it's becoming harder and harder for undrafted college free agents to crack their roster, but Anderson practices and plays with a nastiness befitting his status as an overlooked, underappreciated back who uses his snub of draft weekend as a burning ember his in belly.

"I've always got a chip on my shoulder with every team I play, including when I play the Denver Broncos at practice," he said.

Facing backups or not, Anderson consistently reels off some of the longer, more impressive runs at training camp and it was no different in the Broncos' preseason opener.

"I always knew what I could do," he said. "I never doubted my talent or my ability. It's not a surprise to me. But I am proud and I am glad I got the opportunity to do it. I just took advantage of my opportunities in front of me. You have some of the guys out there where it's on the line, undrafted guys like me trying to pave their way. So, them making the blocks making me look good really makes them look good."

The Indianapolis Colts have had at least one undrafted free agent make their Week 1 roster in each of the last 14 years. Kansas City has a 10-year streak and Denver's nine-year streak includes the likes of cornerback Chris Harris and linebacker Wesley Woodyard.

"At the end of the day, they all say, 'You're here, it doesn't matter how you got here,'" Anderson said. "Terrell Davis was drafted in the sixth round. They always talk about him a lot. Rod Smith was undrafted, on the practice squad and they always talk about him a lot and he's done some things. So, the organization is known for undrafted players to step up and make plays and I'm just trying to put myself in that category."

2 1 * * * Bailey Shares Postseason Knowledge

Sam Davis DenverBroncos.com January 3, 2013

The 14th-year pro knows what it takes for Denver to advance in the playoffs.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Entering his fifth postseason, cornerback Champ Bailey isn't sure how many more chances he'll get. The 14th-year veteran knows how substantial the upcoming opportunity is, and he is making sure his younger teammates know as well.

"I think one thing I probably need to do more is just emphasize it to my teammates," Bailey said. "I was young in this league at one point and my first year I made the playoffs. After that, I didn't make it for the next four years. These opportunities don't come by that often. I think once everybody understands that, it gives everybody else a different perspective."

Bailey has played in seven career playoff games - five with the Broncos - and has broken up nine passes, made 21 tackles and recorded two interceptions, including a career-long 100-yard interception return in 2005. He has made it to the conference championship game once, in 2005 with Denver.

Though his resumé includes nearly every NFL achievement but a Super Bowl appearance, the 12-time Pro Bowler still knows what type of mentality it takes to get there.

"Games are going to be closer," Bailey said. "Teams are going to be better. That's just how it is. We've got to make sure we play all 60 minutes."

With advice like that, Bailey and other veterans on the team have been instrumental in Denver's 2012 success. But he believes that the younger players on the team are the key to advancing in the playoffs. That's why he is making sure everyone is clear on what's at stake.

"I've said it before, we're only going to be as good as our young players play," Bailey said. "And if they don't play well, it's going to be hard for us to be a good team."

As the quality of opposing teams will surely increase in the playoffs and the pressure continues to mount, Bailey can expect a tough matchup regardless of who Denver plays. He has defended the opponent's best receiver throughout most of his career, and in the playoffs, that receiver will likely be one of the best in the game. He isn't one to back down from those types of challenges. "Everybody has a nice No. 1 receiver coming up and we're aware of it," Bailey said. "Whoever comes up, whoever wins, whoever loses - it doesn't matter. We're going to be ready for whoever comes up."

But for the remainder of the week, Bailey and the Broncos don't know who that opponent is. So they've been looking in the mirror, perfecting their own craft and eliminating any and all mistakes that they can find.

After Friday, he expects players to begin to shift their focus to the opponent. It begins with viewing the Wild Card Round with a thorough eye.

"Right now, I think we need to focus on us," Bailey said. "Make sure we correct the things that we struggle with or things that we've had little problems with and then from there, we'll find out who our opponent is and then start preparing for them. But I think, as a professional, you should be watching these games. You should be paying attention to what's going on." Sports: Having a "Ball" with Teaneck's Lance Ball

Bob Klapisch 201 Magazine August 29, 2012

Lance Ball had been waiting for this moment his entire life – every one of his 26 years, four months and 25 days – which meant he was ready to sprint through the door the fates had just opened.

The war: Denver Broncos versus Kansas City Chiefs.

The calendar: Nov. 13, 2011.

The emergency: Denver's starting running backs, Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno, were down with first-quarter injuries.

The solution: Ball, a Teaneck native, rushing to the huddle – or, more accurately, body-surfing a wave of adrenaline.

"It happened so fast," Ball says, not even remembering why this was such a long shot.

Ball, after all, was a ghost to those outside the Broncos family. Until that moment, he had carried the ball in exactly one NFL game, having been cut five times by four teams – including once by the Broncos in September 2010.

But Ball was quick to rearrange those facts. All those years of waiting, he decided, were nothing more than extended calisthenics, better preparing him to seize the day. It's the kind of carpe diem that usually takes place on the silver screen, but this was no fuzzy Hollywood moment. This was Ball turning in a breakthrough performance that awakened the Broncos and their fans alike: He carried the ball 30 times against the Chiefs, picking up 96 yards in Denver's 17-10 win. Just that easily, Ball let the world in on a secret he'd always known about himself.

"All I'd ever wanted was the chance, and the rest would take care of itself," he says. "Once I got to that point, it was all instinct. I just had to keep the faith."

It's impossible to take inventory of Ball's career without noting the obstacles, starting with his size. At 5 feet 9 inches, Ball is at least two inches shorter than the average NFL running back, which made it harder to attract the attention of pro scouts. After graduating from Teaneck High School in 2003, where he rushed for 3,403 yards and 39 touchdowns, Ball went on to a stellar four-year career at the University of Maryland. By his sophomore year, Ball was already an ACC force, earning second-team all-conference honors.

Yet Ball was passed over in the NFL's college draft in 2008 – a setback for the player who, until then, had always prevailed against the odds.

"I really thought I'd get picked somewhere between the fourth and seventh rounds, but a lot of teams were on the fence," he says.

Talent evaluators failed to quantify Ball's low center of gravity and the exponential way he used his 220 pounds to surprise would-be tacklers.

Only now do the Broncos understand what makes Ball a nightmare to bring down.

"Lance plays bigger than he is," quarterback Tim Tebow said last year. "I think it comes from his thick lower body. He runs harder than what his body weight says. He's stronger than you would think."

It took stops in several camps for that revelation to gain traction in the NFL. Ball was on the periphery in St. Louis, Tennessee, Indianapolis and Denver for part of three seasons, during which time he had carried the ball a total of 13 times. Those lean years should've been enough to discourage even the most driven athlete, but Ball reasoned he had several factors still working in his favor.

First, he had a degree in family studies with a minor in community health, which meant there was always a plan B waiting. Second, in an era when pro athletes often end up bold-faced on the gossip pages – or worse, on the police blotter – Ball has lived quietly on the other end of the social spectrum. He's mature and low- maintenance, the kind of player coaches often choose over more talented but more volatile stars. "Dependable" is what Ball calls himself, an asset that rolls over into even higher praise.

"I stay out of trouble," he says. "I'm a good guy and a good guy in the community."

Ball learned the importance of connecting while growing up in Teaneck, which in retrospect he calls "unique" in its enlightened, diverse culture.

"I've since moved out, but I still go home once or twice a year," he says. "It makes me appreciate what a special place Teaneck was, how it stressed community and friendships. We had a good school [system] and good athletics."

Still, it's not an easy sell when Ball describes the Garden State to teammates, not one of whom played college ball in the northeast.

"When they hear New Jersey, people think, 'Oh, you're from the Jersey Shore,'" Ball says with a laugh. "I try to tell them [Teaneck] is nowhere close to there, and it's totally different, anyway." Once they get past the ribbing, Ball is able to peel away the layers of psychological flesh to reveal his nuclear core, that tenacious, me-against-the-odds engine.

"I was in Lance's shoes at one time – chasing a dream – and I never stuck anywhere, so when you have players like him it has special meaning to me," Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy told the New York Post. "In this business, it's being in the right place at the right time and making the most of opportunities, and that's exactly what Lance has done.'"

Ball's universe has changed for the better since his unveiling against the Chiefs last November. He is no longer an afterthought on the Broncos' depth chart, but an integral part of an offense that, now being run by Peyton Manning, looks to be even more dangerous than it was under Tebow, who is now with the Jets.

There are inherent dangers for Ball, who knows the longer he plays, the more times he's taken down by a crunching tackle, the greater the chance of head injury later in life.

"I do worry about how I'm going to be 10, 15, 20 years from now," he says, especially as doctors continue to explore the connection between repeated head trauma and early dementia.

But Ball has spent too much of his life chasing one dream – football – to replace it with another – post-football – just yet. Besides, the fates have always been kind to the kid from Teaneck, who wasn't larger than his uniform but somehow has always been larger than life. That's some winning streak. Montee Ball finding out how tough the NFL can be

By Joe Lyons St. Louis Post-Dispatch August 24, 2013

When he graduated from Timberland High in Wentzville, he was the St. Louis area’s career rushing leader. He followed up with a stellar career at the University of Wisconsin, where he set the NCAA record for career touchdowns.

Now Montee Ball is starting over.

“It’s a grind, no doubt about it,’’ said Ball, a 22-year-old rookie running back for the Denver Broncos, who host the Rams tonight in the teams’ third preseason game.

“The speed of the game is an obvious adjustment, but along with that, for me the big difference at this level is the attention to detail. Everything about the game is so much more precise and to succeed you really have to focus on making sure you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing on every single play.’’

Selected in the second round (58th overall) of last April’s draft, Ball is currently working behind second-year back Ronnie Hillman while he adjusts to the demands of the pro game. And he’s doing so with a Peyton Manning-led squad with Super Bowl aspirations.

“I’m not going to lie, the first few days of camp I was a little bit awed, just being in the same huddle with guys like Peyton Manning and Wes Welker,’’ Ball said. “But you get past that and you focus on learning what it takes to do your job. Every day, I’m working on getting better overall and also trying to focus on one particular aspect of my game.’’

Ball, who has worked extensively after practices with Manning, said his biggest challenge to date has been pass protection. Last week, in a 40-10 Denver loss, Seattle middle linebacker Bobby Wagner slipped off a Ball block and delivered a hit just as Manning delivered a 31-yard pass to tight end Julius Thomas.

Being able to provide protection for Manning, a four-time MVP, is vital for Ball to earn regular playing time. In addition, the young back must be able to react quickly to Manning’s frequent audibles.

“Peyton demands a lot of the guys around him and that’s good because it forces you to be on top of your game at all times,’’ said Ball, who has rushed 11 times for 34 yards and caught one pass for a loss of a yard in the preseason. “You spend so much time trying to learn the playbook and you think you have it down. Then, in pre-snap, there’s a change and you’ve got maybe two seconds before all hell breaks out around you, bullets are flying and you’re trying to make sure you go the right way and block the right guy.

“It can be a little overwhelming at times, but you have to work through it and make sure you’re working to get better each and every day.’’

FROM WENTZVILLE TO WISCONSIN

A starter from his opening game as a freshman at Timberland High, Ball dominated on the prep level here, finishing as the area’s top rusher (7,109 yards) and scorer (107 touchdowns). The yardage record, now at 7,799, was surpassed by Rob Standard (Chaminade, Iowa State) in 2010.

Ball was named Post-Dispatch sophomore of the year after rushing for 1,845 yards and scoring 15 touchdowns in 2006. He earned All-Metro honors following both his junior (3,077 yards, 32 TDs) and senior (2,187 yards, 41 TDs) campaigns and was voted as the Class 5A player of the year by the state’s coaches in 2008.

He committed to Wisconsin before his senior season, opting for the Badgers over Missouri, Kansas, Iowa State, Northwestern, Stanford and Indiana.

“I loved everything about my visit to Missouri,’’ he recalled earlier this week, “but I just felt that the pro-style offense at Wisconsin was a better fit for my game.’’

Ball, who stands 5 feet 10 and weighs 215 pounds, was similarly dominant at the college level. He played in nine games as a true freshman, rushing for 391 yards and four touchdowns. As a sophomore, he started four of 12 games and rushed for 996 yards and 18 touchdowns. As a starter in 2011, playing alongside current Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, Ball led the nation with 1,923 rushing yards and also caught 24 passes. He scored 39 touchdowns that season, tying the NCAA record set by Barry Sanders.

Ball, who finished fourth in the Heisman voting following his junior season, surprised some by returning to Madison for his senior year.

“I felt I owed it to my teammates,’’ he said.

After a pair of off-field incidents — he was cited for trespassing during a block party in May 2012 and suffered a concussion when he was jumped by five assailants in August 2012 — Ball got off to a slow start behind an inexperienced offensive line but came on strong to finish his senior year with 1,822 yards and 22 touchdowns. Named the Doak Walker Award winner as the nation’s top running back in 2012, Ball finished as the NCAA’s career leader in touchdowns with 83. He scored touchdowns in 21 straight games, amassing 55 during that streak.

Garrett Goebel, a Rams rookie defensive tackle from Ohio State, recalls last year’s Wisconsin game as an all-out battle. The visiting Buckeyes won 21-14 in overtime as Ball had a career-high 39 carries for 191 yards and a touchdown.

“He’s a great back, a downhill runner who did a great job behind a big, physical line,’’ Goebel said. “He runs hard and he runs tough. That was probably one of the more physical games I’ve ever played in.’’

Despite Ball’s durability and production through college, some scouts questioned his pro potential. They talked about his lack of breakaway speed — he ran a 4.48 in the 40 at the NFL combine — and wondered if his college workload would limit the length of his career.

“That’s the one that really gets me, people wondering if there’s still enough tread on the tires. What was I supposed to do, not take the ball?’’ he kidded. “I was told to stay away from the draft stuff, but I’m human and I was curious to know what they had to say about me.

“But it’s like my dad’s always told me, the one thing nobody can measure is the size of a man’s heart.’’

LIVING THE DREAM

Ball was the third running back selected in April, following North Carolina’s Giovani Bernard to Cincinnati at No. 37 and Michigan State’s Le’Veon Bell to Pittsburgh at No. 48.

And he couldn’t have been happier about it.

“From the time I started to learn about football, at age 7 or 8, the Broncos have been my team,’’ he said. “So to get an opportunity here, it’s really a dream come true for me.’’

And that dream moved to another level recently when he met and visited with Denver legend Terrell Davis.

“I was like a little kid,’’ Ball recalled. “We talked, he gave me some pointers and I was able to thank him for inspiring me as a kid. It was really a great day for me.’’

Ball said that a few family members will be on hand tonight to see him face the Rams but says it is “just another game.” “I’m sure it’d be different if we were playing them in St. Louis because then I’d be back home in front of a lot more family and friends,’’ he said. “I’m looking forward to playing the Rams because it’s another chance for me to prove myself. I want my team and my coaches to know that I’m a guy they’ll be able to count on.’’ Montee Ball meets childhood hero Terrell Davis

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press August 2, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Montee Ball was star struck. Terrell Davis was awe struck.

The Denver Broncos Ring of Famer and current NFL Network analyst visited his old team Friday to interview the rookie running back.

"Throughout practice, I caught myself looking over at him," said Ball, who patterned his game after Davis. "I've got to stay focused on what's going on in the huddle. But I'm telling you, he's my idol. That's my idol right there."

Davis said he was touched, especially when Ball told him he emulated not just his running style but how he conducted himself in interviews.

"That just goes to show that my parents raised me right and that there are people out there who are watching us, and we are role models," Davis said. "It's good to see that it rubbed off on somebody. For me, it's good and now I'll get a chance to watch him and hopefully he'll be able to inspire some kid who's 7 years old watching him play. It's kind of like a pay it forward-type thing."

Davis showed Ball a couple of moves on the field and when Ball asked for advice, Davis was ready.

"Block," Davis said. "Learn how to block. Blocking is important. That was really the reason why I started to play, or got in. Running, most running backs can run, most running backs can catch, but blocking is the key. If you can block, you will be in the game. You will be that guy who becomes that complete back."

But, really, Ball already knew that. After watching Davis protect John Elway all those years, the first thing he said when the Broncos drafted him in the second round in April was that his top priority was to protect Peyton Manning.

Pick up the blitz first, then worry about picking up the first down.

Davis said Ball is well on his way to becoming that complete running back like he was. "For him, he seems to have every asset known to man; he seems to do everything pretty good. Now it's just a matter of him staying consistent with it, blocking, knowing how to catch, picking up the defense and really getting comfortable with the offense. A lot of times that takes a lot longer than we all think. But he seems to be grasping everything fairly quickly, to be honest with you," Davis said.

"He's Montee Ball for a reason. He's not a guy who came out of nowhere. He's Big Ten-this, Big Ten-that, got all the records. He's got a great pedigree behind him and now he just needs to go ahead and put this thing to work."

Breakfast with Beadles for a Good Cause

By Mike Morris DenverBroncos.com August 21st, 2013

Zane Beadles and his teammates on the Broncos offensive line make their living pancaking defenders on the field.

Now, they’ll trade the pancake blocks for actual pancakes in the name of providing “safe-clean” homes for children recovering from life-saving surgeries.

Zane’s Parade – Beadles’ foundation – will host the first-annual “Cakes for Cancer” pancake breakfast on Sunday, September 8th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Denver’s Exdo Events Center.

The event – which will give fans in attendance the opportunity to meet and challenge Beadles and the rest of the offensive line in a pancake-eating competition – will donate 100 percent of its proceeds to Brent’s Place, the only “safe-clean” housing facility in the Rocky Mountain region approved by Denver area children’s hospitals.

The event will also include a White Elephant silent auction, an elephant cakewalk, and photo opportunities with Beadles and other offensive linemen – a full assortment of fun events and NFL stars who will tackle stacks of pancakes for a good cause.

Brent’s Place helps children recovering from life-saving cancer treatments, and their families, by providing environments that are free of common viruses, bacteria and germs for the children to stay during their recovery process. The children and their families stay free of charge at Brent’s Place, helping alleviate some of the financial burden that their families face.

“Safe-clean” environments are critical for children recovering from treatments like bone marrow transplants because the immune systems of affected children are particularly vulnerable during the recovery process.

Since 2011, Zane’s Parade has raised more than $50,000 for families at Brent’s Place.

It’s expected that the event will quickly sell out, so it’s recommended that fans purchase their tickets as soon as possible.

By Michael Baldwin The Oklahoman August 6, 2013

Former Oklahoma standout spent a year on the practice squad and another on injured reserve. Now he's hoping to play a part on a Broncos team that has Super Bowl aspirations.

Oklahoma coaches routinely raved about Jeremy Beal's relentless effort and cerebral film study. Beal didn't possess as much raw talent as some of OU's highly touted recruits, he but finished second in school history in career sacks.

Entering his third season with the Denver Broncos, Beal is still waiting to make his NFL regular-season debut after spending his first year on the practice squad. Last season he suffered a knee injury in the final preseason game and was placed on injured reserve.

But because of two unusual offseason situations, Beal has an opportunity to carve out a key role on a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Denver's front seven is one area coaches will monitor closely when the Broncos open preseason play on Thursday night against San Francisco.

Nine-year veteran Shaun Phillips, a former Pro Bowler in San Diego, was signed to a one-year, $1.1 million deal to play a defensive end/linebacker role. Phillips, though, might be forced to play more linebacker early if Von Miller's four-game suspension is upheld. Reports are the suspension wasn't related to drugs. Miller is confident the suspension will be reversed and he won't miss a game. In the meantime, Phillips' role is in limbo.

The Broncos also are replacing former starting defensive end Elvis Dumervil, who was released and signed with Baltimore.

Now there's an opening opposite defensive end Derek Wolfe, a second-round pick who started all 16 games his rookie season. The favorite for the other starting spot is Robert Ayers, a first-round pick four years ago who hasn't lived up to being the 18th overall selection.

Beal's ultimate goal is to seize that starting vacancy, but he is first focusing on making the 53-man roster.

Currently running with the second team, Beal should survive the cut and earn regular playing time ahead of several other young players. “It really doesn't matter where you are on the depth chart,” Beal said. “The key is to be consistent every day and try to improve every day. If you do that, you're going to make the team. All you can control is what you can do.”

* * *

The Broncos thought they got a seventh-round steal two years ago with the 247th overall pick. Only seven players were drafted after Beal.

“We were definitely excited to see him still there at the bottom,” Broncos general manager Brian Xanders was quoted as saying. “We're surprised he fell that far, probably because of the combine and Senior Bowl stuff. On tape, he was very productive.”

His combine numbers didn't impress anyone, but Beal's consistent college production was impressive. A three-year starter at OU, starting 43 games, Beal recorded 56.5 career tackles for loss. Beal also caused 10 fumbles and batted down 14 passes.

“It's the same as when you put together a staff,” Broncos coach John Fox told the Denver Post, referring to work ethic. “You want players that make plays.”

Beal, the 2010 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, made a ton of plays for the Sooners, highlighted by 29.5 sacks.

The Carrollton, Texas, product had a good shot making the roster a year ago after he recorded two sacks in a preseason game against Chicago. Everything changed the final preseason game, when he injured his left knee just before halftime on a mad-dash play after a receiver fumbled.

“If you hurt your knee you'd rather hurt your MCL than your ACL,” Beal said. “It's only a six-week injury but they decided to put me on IR. It was painful to hear that. That wasn't my goal. I wanted to play, but it is what it is. It was just unfortunate.”

* * *

While watching the Broncos go on a late-season run, Beal used the down time to study film and hit the weight room. When Beal left OU he weighed 265. He now weighs 280 and is stronger and faster.

“My first year here, I put on the weight they wanted me to put on,” Beal said. “I've always been a little undersized, but I'm leaner and quicker. I've dropped my body fat by eight percent. I'm in the best shape I've ever been.”

Film study is Beal's strength. OU teammates swore Beal knew more about his opponents' tendencies than they knew about themselves. “While I was out, I watched everything,” Beal said. “I studied other teams' offensive lines. I studied the top pass rushers in the league. It's helped me tremendously.”

Denver (13-3) was the AFC's top playoff seed last season. The Broncos were riding an 11-game winning streak entering the playoffs, but lost 38-35 in a double- overtime classic to Baltimore when Denver free safety Rahim Moore was burned late in regulation.

Las Vegas oddsmakers have made the Broncos the preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl. Denver lost some key pieces, but signed Phillips and former Heritage Hall star Wes Welker, an elite slot receiver, another weapon for future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning.

Can the defense do its part? Will Beal play a key role on that defense?

“We're all excited but we have to work hard every day to still be there in February,” Beal said. “But if we put in the work it's exciting to think we have a chance to be even better than we were last year.”

Denver Broncos CB Omar Bolden switched from RB in high school

Lindsay H. Jones The Denver Post September 30, 2012

Editor's note: Each Sunday throughout the season, The Denver Post's Broncos reporters help readers get to know the players on a more personal level.

Playing cornerback at a high level was Omar Bolden's ticket to the NFL, yet the Broncos' rookie fourth-round draft choice came to the position reluctantly.

He has Pete Carroll (and Joe McKnight) to thank for it.

Bolden played only running back until Carroll, then the coach at Southern California, asked him to switch to defense during a summer camp before Bolden's senior year of high school.

Bolden remembered McKnight, one of the nation's top running back recruits, barreling toward him after catching a swing pass. The players weren't wearing pads, but Bolden realized he was either going to absorb a hit or deliver one.

"I kind of got a little physical with him and I made him fumble the ball," Bolden said. "And after that it was like, instantly, I've got to be one of the top corners in the nation. I was kind of upset, because I didn't want to play corner. At the end of the day, though, it was the fastest way for me to get on the field, and that's all I cared about anyway. I just wanted to play."

Bolden didn't wind up playing for Carroll, instead picking Arizona State. Bolden missed his senior year with the Sun Devils after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in spring football in 2011.

Now in the NFL, he won the job as the Broncos' kickoff returner and is trying to work up the depth chart at cornerback.

Q: When did you realize that playing cornerback, and not running back, was the right position for you?

A: As a running back, you take all the pounding, all the beating. I felt so much better after the games. My body felt great. It was like, Pete Carroll just extended my career by nine years. That's how I felt. At first I hated it, but then it was like, "Thank God."

Q: What were teen years like in California? A: Wild. Just ran the streets. Problems going on at home, so I kind of low-key just abandoned school.

Q: What do you mean by "abandoned school?"

A: I kind of went, kind of didn't. It was like freshman and sophomore year. That was about the time I realized I was good at football. But I kind of just did enough to get by, and it ended up hurting me. My senior year, I think I was enrolled in 12 classes. Night school, Saturday school, classes at a junior college. I had seven periods at school — most seniors had four.

Q: When did it sink in that you might not graduate?

A: It was never an issue of if I was going to graduate. But it was an issue of going to college. My junior year, my coach was like, "There is no way you're going to get into school if you don't do something." Pete Carroll came to my school and told me, "Listen, man, you can be big, but you've got to get your academics in order." He came at me with a plan, and I executed the plan and I made it.

Q: What were your emotions like last year, going from the high of deciding to return to school, then tearing your ACL so soon after?

A: It was terrible. It was like, I could have left (for the NFL). The reason I chose to come back was because I got a fourth-round grade. I was a fourth this year. Part of me was saying it was a dumb decision and I should have taken my chances and left. But there was part of me that figured everything happens for a reason. At least I was able to graduate. I was the third person in my family to graduate. That was huge for my family, because we set the trend now.

Q: Was it tough to watch ASU last year?

A: I had dreams of winning the Thorpe Award, of being a Heisman finalist, all sorts of things. So I'm watching games unfold on the field and I'm thinking, "If I was out there, I could have made that play." So for that and to see us struggle at the same time, that (was tough) 'cause I know I could have made an impact.

Q: How has that shaped your perspective here as a rookie in the NFL?

A: It just let me know not to take any of this for granted, because at any moment it can all be taken away from you. No one touched me when I got hurt. I was just running, so it gave me a new perspective on the game and on life. You've got to enjoy it while you're here.

By Christopher Dempsey The Denver Post August 10, 2013

There are two linebackers on the Broncos' roster who have made 100 or more tackles in an NFL season. Wesley Woodyard is one.

The other?

Stewart Bradley.

You probably didn't guess that.

Bradley once was billed as a long-term solution for the Philadelphia Eagles, who drafted him in 2007 and watched him quickly grow into a monster of a player. Now, after a career-interrupting knee injury and a bad fit with the Arizona Cardinals, Bradley has a dual mission with the Broncos: reclaim the upwardly mobile career arc he left in Philadelphia and win the starting middle linebacker job to start that process.

In less than two weeks of training camp at Dove Valley, Bradley has taken a middle linebacker spot that was assumed not available with Nate Irving entrenched as the starter and turned it into a hotly contested position battle.

"It's competition," said coach John Fox. "We'll take a hard look at the tape and see who executed the best in the game situation and move from there."

Denver's coaches needed only practice tape and their eyes to justify elevating Bradley to the first-team defense and start him in the preseason opener Thursday night in San Francisco. He responded with six tackles — five solo stops — while playing much of the first half in the 10-6 victory over the 49ers.

For the Broncos, this was a calculated risk with little downside. They signed Bradley to a one-year contract in the spring, a deal that flew way under the radar with the acquisition of free-agent wide receiver Wes Welker grabbing all of the headlines.

Bradley made 151 tackles, intercepted a pass and made a sack in 2008 as he quickly ascended to the No. 1 middle linebacker in Philadelphia, displacing starter Omar Gaither in the process. But in 2009, he suffered a knee injury during the preseason. Not fully healthy in 2010, his production dropped to 88 tackles. The Eagles let him go and the Cardinals scooped him up.

But a middle linebacker playing in a 3-4 defense with the Cardinals proved to be a bad fit. Bradley never was comfortable and his performance showed it. The Cardinals released him after last season.

That's why he sees this opportunity with the Broncos with hungry eyes.

"Yeah, definitely," said Bradley, a former Nebraska star. "It's a chance to kind of revitalize and show what I can do and prove that I can still be a good player in this league."

Bradley has suffered two ACL injuries — one in college — but says he feels as healthy as he has in a long time. And that's not all.

"I feel more and more comfortable in the scheme," Bradley said. "And I think the more comfortable you are, it allows you to play faster and think less. And I'm feeling better. The knee injury (with the Eagles) set me back, and then I was in a different scheme and an odd situation in Arizona, where it didn't work out for both sides.

"Now I'm back in a 4-3, which is what I was playing in Philadelphia when I was successful, and feeling a lot better about it."

Irving, meanwhile, walked away from Thursday's game giving himself an incomplete grade from his performance against the 49ers.

"I felt rusty," Irving said.

But Irving acknowledged that the unexpected competition at middle linebacker is "real tough. The coaches, they are holding me and Stew to a real high level, high standard. We're both going out there and competing every day, trying to please ourselves and the coaches."

Broncos Q&A: Long snapper Aaron Brewer

Tom Kensler The Denver Post December 30, 2012

How — and why — does one become a long snapper?

"Yeah, I get that question all the time," said Aaron Brewer, the Broncos' rookie long snapper.

Brewer, 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, was expecting to concentrate solely on playing linebacker at Troy High School in Fullerton, Calif., when, during his freshman year, coaches said the team needed somebody to snap for placements (extra points and field goals) and punts.

"We lined up and everybody tried it," Brewer recalled. "Everybody had a shot at doing it, and I was the best one at it."

That led to a scholarship at San Diego State and a college free-agent (undrafted) contract with the Broncos in May. Brewer made the Broncos' opening day roster, supplanting veteran Lonie Paxton, who had been their long snapper for three seasons.

Q: In addition to your snapping duties, you were an all-conference linebacker in high school — in talent-rich Orange County, Calif. Did you get recruited by any colleges to play defense?

A: No, I didn't get any looks for linebackers. There are a lot of high schools in Orange County, and Troy was one of the smaller ones. I didn't expect to play linebacker in college. I really focused my future into being a snapper.

Q: Being a long snapper isn't a position that a kid grows up dreaming about, right?

A: It's a long story. I had heard that a long snapper in our county got a scholarship at UCLA. There was a newspaper article on him. I saw that. There was a name of a personal coach in the article. I went to see him my sophomore year of high school, and he said if I worked with him, I'd get a scholarship somewhere. By the end of my junior year, I had a scholarship offer from San Diego State.

Q: How does snapping for a field goal differ from snapping for a punt?

A: They're two different motions. For a punt, you obviously have to snap it longer so you have to snap with more force. And you have to get back and block. With a field goal, it's more with your hands. You don't really have time to block for a field goal. The defense is coming, so you just get run over. You know it's going to happen, so you just take it.

Q: What in the world goes through your mind when you line up for a snap and a 310-pound nose tackle with a bad attitude lines up inches away from you before a snap?

A: It doesn't really matter who is there because if I have a perfect snap, we'll get the kick off. It's all about timing. If we get the kick off on time, theoretically they shouldn't be able to block it. So you can't worry about getting run over or anything like that. You just have to focus on the snap and let whatever happens, happens.

Q: You made 15 special-teams tackles during your college career, which is a big number for a long snapper. And you have a pair with the Broncos. Is tackling something you take pride in?

A: Yeah. That goes back to having played linebacker in high school. I wanted to also play some linebacker at San Diego State, but they wouldn't let me. They said they couldn't afford to have me get hurt.

Q: If you're out at a restaurant and somebody overhears that you are a Bronco and asks which position you play, what's their reaction?

A: I'll probably have to explain what deep snapper is. Usually people don't know who I am unless I go out with (place-kicker) Matt Prater or (punter) Britton Colquitt. But that's OK. That's how I like it. I'd rather just be part of the team instead of standing out.

Broncos Q&A: CB Tony Carter

Tom Kensler The Denver Post November 11, 2012

If Broncos fans hadn't been aware of Tony Carter before the Oct. 15, come-from- behind victory at San Diego, they surely must have been afterward.

Carter helped spark a historic second-half rally in that Monday night game by returning a fumble 65 yards for a touchdown with 4:41 remaining in the third quarter. That became the sixth-longest fumble return in Broncos history and pulled Denver to within 10 points (24-14). The Broncos went on to a 35-24 victory after trailing 24-0 at halftime.

"That was a great night," Carter recalled last week.

The native Floridian also intercepted a pass in the game — the first of his NFL career — to become only the 14th player in team history to intercept a pass and recover a fumble in the same game.

"I just did what I could to help," Carter said. "After the game, it was fun to take it in and celebrate with my teammates."

Q: What was it like being recruited by and playing for legendary coach Bobby Bowden at Florida State?

A: It was great. He came over to my house when I was in high school (Mandarin High in Jacksonville, Fla.), and how could you tell him 'no'? We had a nice, home- cooked meal for him, and everybody knows he's one of the greatest coaches ever. My grandmother fell in love with him from Day One. I considered Tennessee and the other Florida schools. But I always knew I was going to Florida State.

Q: Your father, Tony Sr., played basketball at FSU. Can you hoop?

A: I used to play basketball in high school. I was decent. I was a quick, athletic guy. But football and track were my thing. I got highly recruited in football, so I stuck with it.

Q: You started 50 games for the Seminoles and earned second-team all-conference honors as a senior. And yet, you were not drafted. Was that tough to accept?

A: It was a major letdown for me. First of all, I didn't have the opportunity to show what I had because I wasn't invited to the combine and didn't go to the Senior Bowl. I know it's my size (5-foot-9, 175 pounds). People look at me on paper and say I'm not big enough. I still can't watch the draft to this day. I'll just get away. I'll go on a boat with my buddies or something. Q: Did you use that snub as motivation?

A: Definitely. I've always played with a chip on my shoulder. It's been a rocky road. If you're not a drafted guy, you have to work harder. You have to come from the ground up.

Q: You were on the Broncos' practice squad in 2009 and 2011, and on New England's practice squad in 2010. Are players treated differently on practice squads?

A: No. When you're on an NFL team, it doesn't matter if you're on the practice squad or you're on the active roster. You're treated the same way, and all the guys respect you because we're all fighting to win a championship. I took the experience as a positive. You get better on the practice squad. I looked at it as my opportunity is coming. I just needed to keep improving for when I got that opportunity. That's exactly what has happened.

Q: You're starting to gain a reputation as a playmaker, having two pass breakups in each of the past three games. What has been the difference?

A: I'm getting more comfortable out there. The more reps you get, the more comfortable you get. I'm just able to relax and let the game come to me. I've just been able to make the plays when I have the opportunity.

Kiszla: Don't underestimate Ryan Clady's importance to Broncos' hopes

By Mark Kiszla The Denver Post August 14, 2013

How many Hall of Fame players does a Super Bowl champion require?

The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, has space already reserved for Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and cornerback Champ Bailey.

But is it too early to start talking about offensive tackle Ryan Clady?

If this season ends with a Broncos victory in the Super Bowl, then Clady will have taken one giant step toward Canton.

The Broncos player who has the most fame to gain by a championship run?

Here's a vote on behalf of Clady.

Although often unnoticed by spectators, the numbers suggest that the Pro Football Hall of Fame has always liked the grunts in the trenches, from Jim Parker to Art Shell to Willie Roaf.

The Broncos win the Super Bowl and Clady would go from a young, perennial all- star to a 27-year-old offensive tackle in his prime, with the spotlight shining brightly on him.

OK, first things first.

Let's keep Manning feeling safe and cozy in the pocket.

Worried about the chemistry of the Broncos offensive line?

"No," Clady said Tuesday.

Is there any lingering pain in his surgically repaired right shoulder?

"No," Clady said. "It's sore from time to time, but no pain."

Any more questions?

The least of Denver's worries is the offensive line, which has come under an uncommon amount of hand-wringing from Broncomaniacs who should probably be more concerned about mowing the lawn or buying back-to-school supplies. But coaches consider the offensive line to be one of the team's strengths.

If the starting unit turns out to be Clady plus Zane Beadles, Ryan Lilja, Louis Vasquez and Orlando Franklin for the vast majority of games, there's every reason to believe the Broncos will lead the NFL in scoring.

Not to make anyone relive a nightmare, but this week marked the seven-month anniversary of the 38-35 loss to Baltimore that ended Denver's season far sooner than anyone expected.

And no member of the Broncos has had more on his mind since Jan. 12 than Clady. His patience was tested by a protracted contract squabble. Worse, he dealt with rehabilitation from a shoulder injury that hasn't allowed him to put a really good lick on somebody for way too long.

"It's definitely humbling," Clady said. "You definitely do feel like you're not a football player."

The Mile High Meltdown has been dissected 70 different ways. Safety Rahim Moore took the blame for a blunder on the game-tying touchdown pass by Joe Flacco. Cornerback Champ Bailey was burned for two touchdowns. Peyton Manning threw a dead duck of an interception in overtime that ultimately killed Denver's chances to escape with a victory. Coach John Fox ordered his team to take a knee.

The most overlooked factor in the defeat, however was the torn labrum that Clady suffered near the end of last season. He was a warrior, refusing to sit down with the injury. But he wasn't Clady, three-time Pro Bowler. With one bum shoulder, he wrestled with Ravens pass rusher Terrell Suggs. It wasn't pretty.

Here's the point: A healthy Clady is worth every penny of the five-year, $52.5 million contract he signed with the Broncos.

When Elvis Dumervil walked, front-office executive John Elway had few regrets.

The defense figures to struggle if the four-game suspension against Von Miller is upheld. Manning, however, might not survive four games in one piece without Clady to protect his blind side.

No offense to Bailey, Demaryius Thomas or any other Denver star. But who's the second-most-essential player on this team?

Manning is driving the bus to the Super Bowl.

Clady is the road grader.

Colquitt now highest-paid punter in family, NFL

By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press August 12, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Britton Colquitt spent close to an hour with his wife and their 1-year-old son in one of the corporate tents at the Denver Broncos headquarters following practice Monday.

The NFL's new highest-paid punter swears he wasn't being a snob. He just didn't realize he was keeping a throng of reporters waiting for him at the podium.

It's not every day that punters get this kind of attention — or make this kind of money.

Colquitt became the league's highest-paid punter when he signed his three-year, $11.7 million extension upon arriving to work Monday.

The deal included a $3 million signing bonus that, when added to this year's $1.275 million salary, also makes him the NFL's highest-compensated punter in 2013.

His extension averages $3.9 million a season, besting the $3.75 million average that his older brother, Dustin, is getting with a five-year, $18.75 million deal he signed this spring with the Kansas City Chiefs.

"He was laughing about it and he's very proud of me and he's kind of my biggest fan, so it's nice to have a big brother like that," Colquitt said. "And we all know he's the better punter, so I can give him a hard time about that."

Depending on how you look at it, both brothers can claim they're the pro punter making the most money.

"Yeah, I think he still does," Colquitt said. "But somehow they've made it look like he doesn't. He lives in a bigger house, has more kids. He's still picking up the dinner check."

Fifteen years ago, Chris Jacke raised eyebrows when he said he wanted to become the league's first $1 million kicker.

Now a punter is making close to four times that much.

"I've already had a few of my friends and people text me saying, 'My son's going to be a punter. I'm sending him to you when he's 15,'" Colquitt said. "I've always told people, though, 'Special teams is the way to go. Or golf.'" His son, Nash, is a lefty, he said, "so I'm sending him to Dustin. So, I don't even have to worry about that. I'm teaching him to golf and then Dustin can teach him how to punt."

That would only carry on the family bloodlines.

Colquitt's father, Craig, won two Super Bowls as the Pittsburgh Steelers' punter from 1978-84, and his uncle, Jimmy, played for Seattle in 1985 after breaking records at Tennessee, where all four Colquitts went to school.

Dustin and Britton now have given picked-on punters the last laugh.

Along with long snappers and kickers, punters tend to get picked on or shunned because they're off on the side fields doing their thing while the big linemen are toiling away and the skill players are racing up and down the football fields.

Now, they not only have lighter workdays to envy but big, fat paychecks.

"No, it's worth it. They make fun of us a lot but then when training camp rolls around they hate us and they're really jealous of us. They see us hanging out in the locker room and they're sweating in the meetings," Colquitt said. "Just a blessing, you know."

Colquitt considers himself fortunate to play for an organization that puts its money where its mouth is, too.

Coaches always say that special teams are as important as offense or defense, but few teams show it the way Broncos Executive Vice President John Elway has.

Last year, he signed kicker Matt Prater to a four-year, $13 million deal and five months ago he signed special teams ace David Bruton to a three-year, $5.5 million deal. And now he's taken care of Colquitt.

The Broncos feature one of the most dynamic kicking games in the league with Colquitt, Prater and returner Trindon Holliday, who scored on a kickoff and punt return in Denver's playoff loss to Baltimore and could come up for a big payday next summer if he has the kind of season everyone's expecting out of him in 2013.

"Oh yeah, we're expecting to get him into the end zone a lot this year," Bruton said.

Colquitt is the franchise leader in career gross (46.1) and net (39.5) punting averages. He ranked third in the NFL last season in net punting with a franchise record 42.1-yard average, second with a 6.2-yard return average and second with 45 punts inside the 20 with only seven touchbacks. When Dustin signed his big deal this spring, Colquitt said he never thought he'd make that kind of money.

"I felt like he's put in the time and deserved that and ... I never dreamed that I'd be in position to be compensated like that," Colquitt said. "And again, that's why I'm just humbled and thankful and just want to show that I deserve it."

At the end of his eight-minute Q&A, Colquitt apologized for making the media wait.

"I didn't know," he said, stepping off the podium. "I'm over there playing with the kid and then I turn around and I'm like, 'There's no way they're waiting on me.'"

Being a nearly $4 million-a-year punter takes some getting used to, even for a Colquitt.

G Joel Dreessen gives advice to Fort Morgan grads

By DAN BARKER Fort Morgan Times May 29, 2013

Denver Broncos football player Joel Dreessen made a big hit at the Fort Morgan High School commencement ceremony Saturday at Legion Field.

Dreessen said he had his own FMHS graduation 13 years ago.

He grew up in Fort Morgan starting in 1985, and graduated sixth in his class with a grade point average of 3.99, said FMHS Principal Judy Florian. He led his football team to championships and was a four-year starter in the Colorado State University football program. He went on to play for the New York Jets and the Houston Texans before joining the Broncos.

Florian said he is a continual supporter of the school district, not only making visits to inspire kids but making sure the FMHS football program has good equipment.

"This isn't about me," Dreessen said. He said that people often forget what people say or do, but remember how a person makes them feel.

"I'm here to make you feel proud," Dreessen said.

He gave them a list of the lessons he's learned since leaving FMHS:

First, they may never use the math they learned in school, unless they are teachers or scientists.

Wake up early. Most successful people get an early start on the day, but some people would rather sleep in.

Wear sunscreen.

Stay away from people who don't want the best for you.

What you think about, you bring about.

Just keep going, regardless of setbacks. He's seen colleagues who fail because they spent too much time with video games.

Push yourself and take risks. He almost lost out on the Broncos job when he was afraid of change.

Turn off the cell phone and hide it sometimes. Face-to-face encounters with people are better and more important.

Don't congratulate yourself too much, but don't beat yourself up too much, either.

Take it one day at a time.

More faith, more miracles. Blessings come to those who are kind to others and faith brings peace.

"You're tougher than most people, because you grew up in Fort Morgan." "Go, Mustangs," Dreessen ended his speech.

The Fort Morgan High School Concert Band started off the ceremonies with the traditional "Pomp and Circumstance" and the national anthem. Later, the FMHS jazz band played a "Blues Brothers Review," and the Morgan High Singers sang "You are the New Day." At the end, the concert band once again played "Pomp and Circumstance."

Student Senate representatives Forrest Hough and Ian Wingstrom greeted the class of 2013. Wingstrom thanked everyone and welcomed Dreessen.

Hough encouraged the graduates to reach for their goals, to try new things and to make adventures of their own.

Commencement speaker Sara Parker spoke on "High School -- The Musical," comparing the experience of high school to a musical play.

She said the summer before high school was a kind of overture, as the kids wondered what it would be like and sometimes worried.

As in a musical, high school was sometimes full of conflict, and where there is conflict there is drama, Parker said.

Danielle Gross, the other graduating commencement speaker, spoke on

"Uncertainties."

"I'm not really sure of anything," she said, noting the graduates would all go their separate directions after that day.

Nonetheless, the memories they built cannot be replaced, Gross said.

People tend to expect seniors to be certain of what they will do with their lives. As students, they had their lives planned out for them for many years, but now they are heading out into the world without certainty, Gross said.

She urged them not to stop working hard now, and thanked the class for letting her "experience this journey with you."

Florian honored Jacob Gerken, Josef Gertner, Trenton Klimper, James Martens, Celia Smits, Alexandria Weber and Jennifer Xian for achieving 4.0 grade point averages or higher.

Klimper and Smits were given special awards as the valedictorian and salutatorian respectively.

These students represent a model of students who have achieved academic excellence, Florian said, and they did not get there without hard work. That sometimes meant giving up a lot of things that others enjoyed.

They have math and science scores that can compete with any high school students in the U.S., she said.

Klimper was chosen for a much coveted scholarship by the Boettcher Foundation, and that is an extremely honorable award, Florian said.

As the graduates readied to accept their diplomas, Florian said, "This is your day."

However, she urged them to remember those who helped them along the way. Student council representatives Kaylee Dermer and Hope McConkey served as the senior class escorts.

Ron Echols, superintendent of schools, and Damon Mussman, president of the Fort Morgan Board of Education, presented diplomas, with other board members in attendance.

The class motto is "Our lives are before us, our pasts are behind us, but our memories are forever with us."

The class song is "Tattoos on this Town" by Jason Aldean.

The class colors are black and maroon, and the class flower is the tiger lily. 11<`b

Why big-hearted Broncos big man Orlando Franklin is lifting up at-risk youths of Toronto

John Kryk Canoe.ca July 12, 2013

We hear too much about the handful of thick-headed NFLers who get themselves handcuffed during idle periods, such as Aaron Hernandez.

We don’t hear enough about the hundreds of NFLers who, in the same timeframes, usually with no cameras present and never any arresting police, donate their time and money in the best-hearted attempts to improve the lives of young people in their — in our — community.

NFLers such as Orlando Franklin.

Through his charitable foundation, the right-side offensive tackle of the Denver Broncos gives back to the city he was raised in, and now calls his home up to five months a year: Toronto.

On Friday, through his Orlando Franklin Foundation and in conjunction with Community Housing, “Big O” brought busloads of at-risk Toronto children and teens to Playtime Bowl, near the Yorkdale Mall. There, some 116 kids from Malvern to Rexdale took part in Bowling For A Cause. (My photo of Big O with some of the kids, above)

The children, aged 10 to 17, rolled over 10-pins, ate some pizza, shared some laughs, high-fived often, and got to meet one of the five men whose job it is to protect Peyton Manning in NFL games.

The 6-foot-7, 330-pound Franklin, 26, has been giving back like this for two years now. He visits high schools. He shows up unannounced at playgrounds in his old rough-and-tumble neighborhood, Victoria Park and Sheppard, where he was raised in a Toronto Housing unit.

And Franklin is impacting lives. Like this.

“One of the best stories of my life was last year when I talked at (Blessed) Mother Teresa (Catholic School),” Franklin said on Friday. “There was this one girl who lived in a group home. It turns out this girl was a cutter. We’re going to leave her name out of it, but she was a cutter. She would cut herself.

“One of my best friends from childhood happened to work at this group home and noticed something different about that girl. And he sat her down and he was like, 1

KLEE: Feast or fumble, Broncos' Trindon

Holliday worth the gamble

By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette August 10, 2013

DENVER - Late Thursday night, his Broncos teammates tripping over TV cables and wet towels in their squished locker room at Candlestick Park, Trindon Holliday escaped.

It's what he does.

Rolling a suitcase, wearing a suit, no tie, Holliday snuck onto the bus before a single media member could ask a dumb question.

Actually, not one tried.

We really need to stop ignoring the little guy.

It's possible the Broncos have never had a player who can impact a game on one play quite like Holliday - in a big way or a bad way.

Here's a prediction: In more than one game during this NFL season, Holliday will be The Reason the Broncos win or lose.

About how many players can you say that?

The allure and the danger of Holliday is the risk-reward factor.

He's either gone, or the football's gone.

In his first season in Denver, Holliday became the first Bronco to return multiple punts and multiple kickoffs for touchdowns. He had four touchdowns on returns.

He had five fumbles on returns.

And here's the question the Broncos will be forced to answer on more than one occasion this season: Are those four touchdowns worth the five fumbles?

Absolutely, I say. You want players that make the other team nervous.

Even if he makes his own team nervous. "I feel this is going to be a place I can be for a while," Holliday told me.

Hope he's right.

The Broncos are in the entertainment business, and there's not a more entertaining Bronco than the shortest Bronco (ever).

He's the human 470-yard par 5. He's an eagle putt or in the pond.

He's the street burrito outside Sports Authority Field: hits the spot, or hits the head.

He's a back bowl at Vail: the thrill of a lifetime or the spill of a lifetime.

He's booking a hotel on Hotwire, one more tequila shot, doubling down against a 9.

He's the most exciting, and terrifying, player on the roster, all at 5-foot-5, 170 pounds.

He's a really good idea or a really bad idea.

In a dull preseason opener at San Francisco, in which neither team scored an offensive touchdown, Holliday provided the entertainment. It was Trindon to a "T."

On his first kick return, Holliday dodged multiple tacklers for an improbable 30-yard gain.

On his first punt return of the second half, Holliday was blasted on the 2-yard line.

"I just follow my blockers, try to find the hole," he said one day at Dove Valley.

On that day, he fumbled a punt. On that day, he dazzled fans with a deep return.

Put it this way:

His NFL coach puts the game in Holliday's hands when he puts him on punt returns.

His high school wouldn't put Holliday on punt returns.

"He had trouble catching the ball sometimes," Northeast (La.) coach Dave Masterson told me. "But when he did..."

When he does, it's an end-zone dance waiting to happen.

When he doesn't, it's an end-zone fumble waiting to happen. In the anxious seconds before Holliday catches the kickoff, hopefully, Broncos fans hold their breath tighter than a pair of skinny jeans in San Francisco.

They can exhale only when he's down, or it's a touchdown.

We often criticize Fox for being too conservative.

If putting Holliday on kick returns isn't a gamble, I don't know Las Vegas from Los Angeles.

The last time the Broncos were in the playoffs, Holliday almost won the game by himself.

How quickly we forget.

On that stupid-cold night against the Ravens, Holliday scored the longest kick return for a touchdown (104 yards) and the longest punt return for a touchdown (90 yards) in postseason history. He's the only guy to return a punt and kick for a touchdown in the same playoff game.

Oh, he's watched the tape, once.

"It was very hard to stomach for the first couple days. But you can't dwell on it," he said. "You've got to put it past you and look toward the future. We've got a bright future."

Feast or famine? In the same season, Holliday was cut from an NFL roster and made NFL playoff history. His teams didn't lose a game in the regular season (5-0 with the Texans, 11-0 with the Broncos) and didn't win a game in the postseason (0-1).

I told Trindon that, if the Mile High Mistake had been knocked down, instead of caught by Jacoby Jones, his playoff performance would be the stuff of Broncos legend.

"Maybe," he said.

Certainly.

It is a fascinating case study on the mind of a pro athlete: How does a player view his greatest game - when his team loses?

"How do I look at it?" Holliday said. "I look at it as a start to a new beginning."

Win or loss, Holliday is a Central City dice roll.

Once or more, he will be why the Broncos win or lose. Broncos' Duke Ihenacho making a name for himself

Lindsay H. Jones USA TODAY Sports August 14, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — It's hard to forget Duke Ihenacho's name.

The way he's played through the first three weeks of training for the Denver Broncos, you might not forget his play, either.

Ihenacho, a second-year safety who went undrafted out of San Jose State last year, has rocketed up the Broncos' depth chart in stunning fashion — from third-string to first-string in less than three weeks, thanks to a knack for interceptions and forced fumbles.

The Broncos, and Ihenacho, are hesitant to make any bold predictions about what Ihenacho's play will mean for the Broncos' defense come September, but it appears the battle for the starting strong safety job is just about over. Incumbent starter Rahim Moore has consistently played free safety with the first-team defense recently.

"I'm not coming in just to make the team. I'm coming to make an impact," Ihenacho told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday.

How's this for impact? In the Broncos' preseason opener last week, Ihenacho had seven solo tackles (including three against San Francisco's starters), one forced fumble and one pass breakup — all in the first half. He followed that up with a highlight-reel interception of Broncos' quarterback Peyton Manning during a live goal-line drill on Tuesday.

Ihenacho dove to make that interception in the end zone, and he celebrated with a scream.

It was exactly the type of play that explains Ihenacho's rapid rise, as he leap- frogged veteran players like David Bruton, Quentin Jammer, Quinton Carter and finally, Mike Adams, who started every game last season.

Adams and Moore combined for only one interception (by Moore) and two forced fumbles (by Adams) last season.

"We do want our safeties to be playmakers, and we put them in positions to make those," cornerback Champ Bailey said. "This where it starts — you build everything from here. The way you play every day here is the way you're going to play on Sundays."

Bailey grinned while talking about Ihenacho. In his 15 years in the NFL, Bailey has seen dozens of players just like Ihenacho arrive in the NFL. Few have carried themselves with as much confidence, even while on the practice squad, as Ihenacho.

He celebrated athletic plays on the scout team and in individual drills, and spiced up his practice uniform once a week for what Ihenacho dubbed "Flashy Fridays." Recently at training camp, he spent 20 minutes using black and white athletic tape to make his Nike cleats look like a pair of Chuck Taylor high tops.

"You can't do that if you're not playing right," Bailey said. "We like that energy about him."

Ihenacho, the son of Nigerian immigrants, was late to football, and received few scholarship offers out of high school in Los Angeles before following his older brother, Carl, to San Jose State. Before his senior year, Ihenacho suffered two foot injuries – a broken metatarsal in one foot and Lisfranc fracture in the other. Both injuries required surgery, several months apart, and as he recovered, he started to wonder if his chance of ever getting to the NFL was over.

"You're in pain, and you think there's no way you'll be the same," Ihenacho said.

Ihenacho Making Plays with Personality

By Brandon Moree DenverBroncos.com July 31, 2013

Safefty Duke Ihenacho has been catching the attention of his teammates in training camp.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Anyone that has been at Broncos training camp at Dove Valley has probably heard safety Duke Ihenacho. He’s been loud. He’s been active. He’s also been effective.

“His play has been impressive,” cornerback Champ Bailey said. “He is getting better every day. One thing about him is he stayed hungry during the offseason. He had great OTAs and an even better camp. So, I am looking forward to (seeing) him grow a lot more.”

Ihenacho, an undrafted free agent entering his second year with the Broncos, saw time in two games for the club last season after spending part of the year on the practice squad.

In his second training camp, he's been all over the defensive backfield and has come away with a few interceptions as a result.

“He is a guy that we have kept around for a while that is getting more opportunities and so far he has taken advantage of those opportunities," Head Coach John Fox said.

Sunday morning, Ihenacho came up with a pick off the hands of Knowshon Moreno in coverage drills. He then raised the ball in the air and high-stepped through the bystanding Broncos across the goal line and pretended to shoot a free throw through the uprights.

Last week after an interception, he went into the crowd to shake hands with fans. In his second year at Broncos training camp, he’s clearly very comfortable.

“I’m just having fun,” Ihenacho said. “That’s what fun is. Like I said before, I’m more comfortable with myself and more comfortable with the defense so I’m more comfortable interacting with the fans. That just comes with having fun.”

That comfort comes from confidence, something that he said has also been on the rise. “I think I’m better because of my confidence in myself," he said. “Once you spend a year somewhere, you gradually get more confident in yourself and your teammates get more confident in you. I’m just more comfortable, so when you’re comfortable you have that ability to make more plays and I think that’s what’s happening this year.”

Ihenacho said that he’s been paying close attention to fellow undrafted defenders cornerback Chris Harris and linebacker Wesley Woodyard and trying to learn from them.

Both Harris and Woodyard said Wednesday day that they liked what they had seen so far from Ihenacho – calling him “hungry” and “smart.”

“He’s probably one of the smartest young safeties I’ve seen come in our organization in a while,” Woodyard said. “Duke, he’s just got to continue to stay humble and keep grinding. He makes big plays.”

Whether it’s from his play or his personality, Ihenacho has been hard to miss on the practice field.

“He’s having a great camp and he’s staying focused,” Woodyard said. “The thing about Duke is, he has a big smile. That smile is contagious out there on the field, especially in training camp situations.”

The Comeback Kid

By Eric Goodman Mile High Sports August 7, 2013

Nate Irving took the road less traveled to the NFL

The scouting report gushed over his senior season at North Carolina State. "Absolutely loves football. Has a physical and violent playing style. Is a relentless pass rusher. If Nate Irving checks out medically, he should be a third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft," wrote the National Football Report.

Irving was indeed taken in the third round. He's the Broncos projected starting middle linebacker this season. And he's lucky to be alive.

June 28, 2009 is not only a date that'll never be erased from his mind, but it's been permanently tattooed under his left forearm.

It was a cool summer morning in North Carolina, with no hint of rain. Interstate 40 was open and dry for what was expected to be a routine 75-minute drive from his home in Wallace to the North Carolina State campus. Irving just wanted to beat rush hour, so he left at three o'clock in the morning and was feeling fine - or so he thought.

He drove alone without the company of his iPod, which ran out of power on the drive. So he rolled down the windows to keep the air circulating to keep him awake. He remembers passing an 18-wheeler, but that's about it. His next memory is opening his eyes in an ambulance, telling the paramedics to call his father.

North Carolina Police told him he fell asleep at the wheel, crossed into on coming traffic, swerved back into his lane and lost complete control of his SUV. After just missing a guardrail that would have certainly saved his life, he drove completely off the road, flipped his car and smashed into a couple trees.

"When I woke up, I felt the neck brace on and I felt my legs messed up," Irving recalls. "I asked the doctor if I would ever be able to play football again. Those were my first words. He told me not to worry about that. And from there, I thought that was a no; I just turned my head and started crying."

Irving got lucky. He only suffered a separated left shoulder, a cracked rib, a punctured lung and a compound leg fracture.

"I know of two people who had an accident similar to mine. One was in the hospital at the same time and that person died. The other one had to get their leg amputated, just to be able to walk. I'm blessed."

He started to walk within two days, drawing inspiration from his paralyzed grandfather, who found enough strength to take a few steps.

There was little doubt Irving would walk again. But his mind wandered, wondering if he would ever play on the football field again. His worst fears never came true.

He missed his entire junior season, but recovered quickly enough to play his senior season. And what a season it was. He put up big numbers, shot up the draft board and constantly reminded himself of the mistake that nearly cost him his life.

"I felt like I let myself down, my family down, my teammates and my coaches down because of my poor decision. That night, I could have died; it was selfish of me to do what I did. I was only thinking about myself, not thinking about how anybody in my family would feel having to bury me."

Irving took the road less traveled to the NFL and his career is on a straightaway as far as the eye can see. The Broncos projected their 2011 third-round draft pick to be a starter and that's what he is. The team released Joe Mays and decided not to bring back last year's starter at middle linebacker, Keith Booking.

Irving still has competition from Stewart Bradley, who took first-team snaps Tuesday, but this is his job to lose. He's expected to not only start in tomorrow's preseason opener against San Francisco, but in the regular season opener against Baltimore, as well.

What an arduous journey this has been.

"I'm not even supposed to be here because of everything I've been through. I just want to take advantage of everything I've been given."

Everything has been earned. Nothing has been given. And as he nearly found out, tomorrow isn't a given, either.

Broncos defensive lineman Malik Jackson demonstrates improvement

By Terry Frei The Denver Post August 14, 2013

Malik Jackson is still listed as the Broncos' second-team left defensive end, behind fellow second-year pro Derek Wolfe. As often is the case with depth charts, that's oversimplification, starting with the fact that the Broncos will likely again line up in the base 3-4 for only about one-third of their defensive snaps.

So far in training camp, at least, Jackson not only has shown signs of maturation and improvement over his rookie season, he also seems to be convincing his coaches of his versatility and trustworthiness at either end or tackle, even sometimes on the nose in nickel packages. At 6-foot-5, 293 pounds — don't laugh at this — he's not "big" enough to be the coveted space-eater inside against the run, but he can put pressure on the passer or cause blocking dilemmas when rushing the passer from the inside.

"I usually just call myself a defensive lineman, because I like to pride myself on being able to do all that stuff," Jackson said Tuesday. "The more you can do, the more chances you have to be on the field. I'm just trying to be better at each position and work my craft every day."

Wolfe and Robert Ayers, listed as the No. 1 right end, also can play tackle in many packages, but Jackson is making a case for being used more than the 113 defensive snaps credited to him last season.

"I've always been a firm believer that it takes about a year to get used to the speed and size of this game and become technically sound, especially as a front person," Broncos coach John Fox said when asked about Jackson's progress. "They're fighting so close to him, the technique has to be very sound. He's improved in all those areas. He's big enough to be inside on third down, and he's athletic and sound enough on early downs as an end. That does give you good flexibility."

Defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio labeled Jackson one of the bright spots of camp, adding he "really stood out in the front" against the 49ers in the exhibition opener last week.

"He generated some pressure on the quarterback and was stout against the run," Del Rio added. "Malik is having a good camp and quietly making a move himself. His flexibility to play inside or outside is great. But he has just been much more disruptive and confident this year." Jackson, a fifth-round 2012 pick who played two years at Southern California before transferring to Tennessee in the wake of NCAA sanctions against the Trojans' program, admitted he questioned the notion that he had a lot to learn in making the transition to the NFL. By now, though, he can laugh and admit he was wrong.

"At the time, I thought you couldn't tell me anything," Jackson said. "But last year was a whirlwind. You have so much information coming in, and they put me in the spots where I knew I was going to back up inside and outside.

"Now, having a year under my belt, it really helps to have sat back and see how things work. As a defensive lineman, you really need to grow and know what you're doing out there."

When Wolfe, the Broncos' second-round choice last year, was ill earlier in camp, Jackson got more work with the first defense, and he turned heads. Also, it would be a mistake to discount the possibility that praise of Jackson secondarily is intended as a challenge to Wolfe. But there's evidence of Jackson's progression on video.

"We hang out and stuff, but there's still that competition," Jackson said of Wolfe. "It's still in the back of my mind that he's not better than me, that kind of thing, but that's just the way we're made as football players. Nobody wants to be No. 2." 51 For Broncos' Jeremiah Johnson, enduring wait worth it

By Lindsay H. Jones The Denver Post November 27, 2011

If anyone thinks that playing in the NFL is a glamorous or carefree life, just ask Jeremiah Johnson.

The Broncos' second-year running back has endured two major injuries in his first two training camps, both with the Houston Texans, has been cut five times by four teams and had to wait three years between his final collegiate carry and his first NFL offensive snap — last week against the New York Jets, when he caught a screen pass and ran 8 yards.

Johnson grew up in a rough area of South Central Los Angeles, and used football (at tradition-rich Susan Miller Dorsey High School, where he played with current Broncos safety Rahim Moore) as a way to avoid the gang violence that permeated his neighborhood.

Now that Johnson has secured a spot on the Broncos' 53-man roster — after spending the first half of the season on the practice squad — he's going to savor every run, and then share it with the women he cares about most — his mother, Sabrina; his bride of nine months, Shanel; and the couple's 2-year-old daughter, Jordyn.

Q: What sort of pressures were there in your neighborhood growing up? How difficult was it to stay out of trouble?

A: It was real tough trying to stay out of that, because all my buddies were that. It was hard to conform yourself into something different from what you knew in your life. I had a lot of buddies that ended up in a local gang, the Black Stones, and it was like 'Hey, come hang out,' but once you hang out with those people, you kind of get put into that circle. They went on with their initiation or whatever, and I decided it wasn't for me. I had a strict mother that wouldn't let anything like that go down. Any bad thing I ever thought about, I would think about what my mom would think. I didn't want to disrespect her or disappoint her in any way.

Q: You suffered injuries during your first two training camps. What did you learn from those experiences?

A: You've got to stay healthy. There is more to football than just getting up in the morning and going to practice. You have to take care of your body. That's one thing I had a hard time learning to deal with. When I tore my shoulder (as a rookie in 2009) it was real hard because I had a great chance of coming in and playing. I was pretty much ready to start the season at No. 2 (behind Steve Slaton, ahead of Arian Foster), and then my shoulder popped. It ended up being a good thing for me because I got to sit and watch how things went down. I knew what to expect when I got back in there again.

Q: Tell me about your journey since then? A few practice squads?

A: I think I might have the record for being on a team the shortest. It was eight hours, with the Washington Redskins (in 2010). They called me up there, did the whole thing, signed the contract. I got home, was chilling just getting everything ready to go the next day when I got a call that they were going to go in another direction. I was like, 'What?' I didn't get to practice for them, nothing.

Q: This can be a cruel business, can't it?

A: That's a totally different experience than what most people think of when they picture life in the NFL. It can be really difficult, especially when you're on a practice squad. Even with my situation here, because I got cut from here already. It's one of those things where you think, 'I thought I did all the things I needed to do.' You realize it's about numbers. That's the thing, people on the outside think, 'Oh Jeremiah, you did it, you're there.' I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm here, but I'm here working the NFL's minimum wage.' We do as much or more as the active squad people do, but we're getting paid little.

Q: After going through that, what did it feel like to get your first professional carries last week?

A: It was pretty cool. My first run I had all these things running through my head — I hope I do the right thing, I hope this, I hope that. But when the ball snapped, it went blank, and I was back in my zone. Once I get comfortable with everything around me and I can start thinking and just start flying around, I'll be way, way better.

­ Tavarres King embraces special teams to help make Broncos' final roster

By Caitlin Swieca The Denver Post August 14, 2013

When the Broncos selected Tavarres King with their fifth-round pick in this year's draft, they were picking up another option at wide receiver, a player who had caught 42 passes for 950 yards in his senior year at Georgia against some of the toughest defenses in college football.

But the Broncos' receiving corps is crowded, and King knows he has tough competition. To stand out, he's spent time at training camp focusing on another area of play.

"Special teams is going to be big for me," King said. "It's an adjustment, but I'm embracing it and enjoying it."

King said he hasn't played on special teams since his redshirt freshman year at Georgia in 2008. But when the Broncos talked to him about joining the squad after they drafted him in the spring, King said he embraced the opportunity.

In addition to adjusting to the terminology and speed of the NFL, King has been re- learning the nuances of special-teams work, knowing it could make or break him.

"Special teams are huge in this league, especially if you're going to be one of those guys on the bubble trying to make the roster," King said.

The Broncos have stars in their top three receiver slots in Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Welker, but there are eight other receivers vying for the roster spots behind them. Andre Caldwell will likely be the fourth receiver, and punt returner Trindon Holliday will take one of the other spots.

With three preseason games remaining, King said he isn't worried about the pressure to make the final 53-man roster.

"Pressure is a blessing," King said. "If you've got pressure on you, that means there's eyes on you to do something, to be somebody special."

King was in good position to take the final spot after a hot start to camp, but he has seen increased competition from Gerell Robinson and rookie Lamaar Thomas. "(Special teams are) going to be important for everybody," Broncos coach John Fox said. "We do look at that. After week one (of the preseason), he's still very much in the hunt." Broncos guard Chris Kuper returns to the field

By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press August 13, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Chris Kuper put on pads for the first time in 214 days, snapped a few footballs to Peyton Manning and lined up some at guard Tuesday.

"I feel like a football player again," he said.

But he's a long way from being able to win a spot on the Denver Broncos' 53-man roster.

Before he can compete for a backup job, the former captain and anchor of Denver's offensive line has to get healthy.

Kuper's latest comeback try is from a second surgery on his jigsaw-like left ankle, which was grotesquely dislocated in the 2011 regular-season finale.

He admittedly rushed back last year and ended up hobbling through the playoff loss to Baltimore with a shattered plate in his repaired ankle that caused him to skip the Pro Bowl, where he was named an alternate despite having played in just seven regular-season games.

This second comeback has proven even tougher.

"The setback with the ankle surgery and the infection put me behind on the eight- ball. I wasn't able to rehab the way I wanted to and wasn't able to get my strength back and conditioning back," Kuper said. "That's how football works, that's how the NFL is. Every year you have to compete for a spot."

After making enough progress to get back on the field, Kuper agreed to a restructured contract Tuesday that reduced his 2013 salary from a non-guaranteed $4.5 million with a $1.05 million injury protection settlement to a guaranteed $1.05 million base, plus a chance to make another $1.7 million in incentives.

"I'm glad to be here and have a chance to hang around and compete for a job," Kuper said.

If Kuper makes the team, he'll almost certainly serve as a backup to guards Zane Beadles and Louis Vasquez, at least initially, although coach John Fox said he'll get a look at center, too. Kuper has been the Broncos' emergency center in the past, but the last time he snapped the ball in a game was his junior year at North Dakota in 2004.

"It's all going to be a process, coming back and getting healthy and transitioning, trying to be the best at whatever position I can play," Kuiper said. "I'm just trying to earn a spot on the roster right now. The main thing is I have to get healthy enough to try to compete for that spot."

Kuper didn't give a glowing report on his ankle.

"It's OK. I'm not there yet, but I'm hoping just working through this stuff on the field that I can work some of that stuff out," he said. "Time is probably what's going to heal it."

That's something he doesn't have a lot of. The Broncos' last preseason game is just over two weeks away.

Although he was excited to finally get back on the field, it wasn't like Kuper had to remind himself to hold back: "No, not today. Today I was really just kind of feeling it out. I'm really not in great football shape quite yet, so we're being careful with it."

Kuper refuses to set a timetable for when he expects to be back up to speed because "I did that before and it didn't work out the way I wanted to."

Last year, Kuper's prolonged absence was felt — quite literally — by Manning, who was sacked 21 times, but only twice with Kuper in the lineup.

"Being injured is hard, having surgery is hard, and when you're an athlete and just coming back to performing your skill, it's a long road," Fox said. "It takes tough- minded people and he is that guy."

The Broncos' O-line has been a hodgepodge this whole offseason. Beadles was the only starter who came out of last season unscathed. Left tackle Ryan Clady has been working his way back from offseason shoulder surgery and hopes to make his preseason debut Aug. 24 against St. Louis.

Clady understood exactly what Kuper was talking about when he said he finally felt like a football player again.

"It's weird not practicing every rep with the team. It's definitely humbling," Clady said. "You definitely do feel like you're not a football player."

Kuper's just out to prove that, come cut-down day Aug. 31, he still is one.

Lenon Ready to Learn the Playbook

By Brandon Moree DenverBroncos.com August 20, 2013

After signing Tuesday morning, linebacker Paris Lenon was on the practice field.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – After signing with the Broncos in the morning, linebacker Paris Lenon was at practice Tuesday at Dove Valley.

The signing comes on the heels of the news that Stewart Bradley injured his wrist. The current scenario has led Head Coach John Fox and his staff to the decision to move Wesley Woodyard to the middle linebacker position.

“That was going to be a move we made regardless,” Fox said about moving Woodyard to the mike position. “Because of (Bradley’s injury), it’s a big reason why we signed Paris Lenon, who we have high regard for.

"He started the last 16 games for the last three years in a row. He’s an athletic guy that we think can help us.”

They are also beginning the process of evaluating where Lenon – a 12-year veteran -- can best help the defense. He spent most of Tuesday’s practice observing.

Lenon entered the league undrafted in 2000 out of Richmond University but was released before the start of the season. He played in the only season of the XFL for the Memphis Maniacs in 2001 and then returned to the NFL with the Green Bay Packers.

He spent five seasons with the Packers before spending time with four other teams over the next seven season, most recently the Arizona Cardinals. He was a captain for the Cardinals in both 2011 and 2012 and registered at least 100 tackles in each of his three seasons there.

After an offseason of anticipation in free agency, he’s a Denver Bronco.

“It's a good football team, and I think was a great opportunity for me to come and be a part of this organization,” Lenon said. “I think they're going places.”

Lenon said that he would prefer the position that gets him playing time but that he would “probably feel more comfortable inside.” But Tuesday was only his first practice in a Broncos uniform and he is focused on learning the playbook for right now. “I'm going to come out here first of all and learn, you know?” Lenon said. “I just got here. Everything is brand new, and I'm trying to learn as fast and as much as I possibly can.

“Once I get that down, and get going and just try to get in a groove and try to help this team the best way that I can.”

New Bronco Ryan Lilja enticed by chance to play again with Peyton Manning

By Terry Frei The Denver Post August 2, 2013

Ryan Lilja had a whirlwind Thursday — especially for a guy who until the Broncos called earlier this week, considered himself officially retired.

The veteran offensive lineman traveled to Denver, completed paperwork and physical exam formalities, met (or in one important case, remet) his new teammates, began a crash course in the Broncos' offense, and then participated in the 80-minute evening walkthrough. And yes, he even made some snaps to Peyton Manning during the low-key, low-energy proceedings.

After signing his one-year, incentive-laden deal that could pay him as much as $2.2 million, Lilja was wearing No. 57, significant not only because it was Tom Jackson's old number. That's a center's number, of course, and it went to a 31-year-old veteran who wore 65 with the Kansas City Chiefs last season but was pressed into service at center when starter Rodney Hudson was injured. The Broncos continued to bill veteran Manny Ramirez as their No. 1 center for the time being, and coach John Fox on Thursday morning wouldn't be pinned down about whether Lilja definitely was ticketed to play center.

"Well, he's got center-guard flex," Fox said. "He's done it in the league and has done it at a high level. I don't like defining a guy before he has his first practice."

But the uniform number spoke louder than words, and Lilja said he was looking forward to the resumption of his working relationship with Manning, his teammate at Indianapolis from 2004-09 before Lilja spent the past three seasons with the Chiefs.

"That was a big part of me coming back," Lilja said. "It's a special team. It's a special offense. I pictured being in the huddle, and that's a cool place to be. You feel pretty good, you feel pretty confident, and I haven't felt that in a few years, so it was enticing for me."

Playing guard for the Colts, Lilja was next to Manning's longtime center, the now- retired Jeff Saturday. Lilja got a first-hand feel for the responsibilities the center has not only getting the ball to, but keeping up with, Manning while making the blocking calls too. "It's excites me," Lilja said of the challenge. "You have to be quick on your feet, and you have to mentally be able to dictate what's going on and be able to communicate everything down the line, really with everybody. So it's a huge challenge, and that's what really got me going, got me excited, to be honest with you. I hadn't really had that in the last seven months, other than rehabbing some injuries. I thought, 'What now?' I tried to work on my golf game, and that just got worse."

He also had talked with the Chiefs about possibly returning, but that didn't lead anywhere. His wife gave birth to a boy, the couple's second child, in June, and they were working on remodeling their house. Under the circumstances, he didn't have to be recruited very hard.

"It only took a day of mulling over and talking with my wife and figuring out if this was something for us," he said. "Twenty-four hours later, I was on a flight."

He added that he had "expected to" be contacted by teams checking on his resolve and possibility availability for this season. But he didn't expect one of them to be the Broncos, who scrambled after veteran Dan Koppen suffered a season-ending knee injury Sunday.

"I was obviously surprised that Dan went down," he said. "I didn't see it happening here. I had my eye on another team closer to home, and that was really the only one I was looking at. ... Unfortunately, Dan got hurt (in Denver), and it was too good of an opportunity for me to pass up, to come out here and play with these guys and wash this taste out of my mouth from a crummy season."

Denver signed free agent Steve Vallos, who was with Jacksonville last season, earlier in the week. This all comes in the wake of J.D. Walton, the starter at the outset of 2012 before suffering a season-ending ankle injury Sept. 30, having additional surgery in June and being deemed unlikely to play until late October at the earliest.

Ramirez, meanwhile, wasn't taking all of this personally, although the perception was that the Broncos were uncomfortable with the prospect of opening the season with Ramirez at center — and scrambled to bring in candidates to replace him.

"I'm just going to approach it as I'm the starter right now and continue to push forward," Ramirez said. "I'm always up for competition, and that's the way I look at it. I know they're going to put the best player out there, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to help the team out. Personally, I'm very competitive, and I'm not going to just let anything go. This is my position to lose, and I'm looking forward to keeping it and playing the entire year." Fox recoiled when asked if the moves represent a lack of faith in Ramirez, who stepped in for the injured Chris Kuper at right guard for much of last season.

"No, not at all, no," Fox said. "Manny started 11 games in our offensive line on a 13-3 football team. Whether it's guard or center, more's made of that than anything." Peyton Manning passing the eye test as Broncos rev up for NFL season

By Terry Frei The Denver Post August 20, 2013

The dress rehearsal game — the Broncos' meeting with the St. Louis Rams at Sports Authority Field — is coming up Saturday night. It almost certainly will be Peyton Manning and the first offense's final work of the preseason.

So far, through the yawn-inducing road victory at San Francisco and the decisive loss at Seattle, and through injuries and off-field dramas, one of the positives for Denver is that Manning has looked sharp. It isn't the numbers — 13-for-20, for 176 yards and one touchdown — as much as it is the eye test.

"There's some things that we've improved on, some things that we need to continue to work on," Manning said after practice Tuesday. "This will be a good test against St. Louis. They were number one in sacks in the NFL last year, so it will be a great test for our guys up front.

"The plan is probably to play the most that we have . . . and it will be nice going into the game knowing you're not going to come out, you're going to stay in and hopefully get into a rhythm and flow."

Given that the starters likely won't play at all in the final exhibition, against Arizona in Denver on Aug. 29, this will be the tuneup for the Sept. 5 season opener against Baltimore.

"The third preseason game is always important," Manning said. "It's when you want to see progress."

A year ago, of course, it was reasonable to at least wonder how Manning, who sat out the entire 2011 season and had undergone multiple neck surgeries, would look — or at least hold up — in his first season with Denver. There were as many questions as answers, with most of them involving his resilience and health.

Now, with Manning approaching his second season in something other than a Colts' uniform, it's at least interesting to note that those questions don't even seem worth bringing up. That doesn't mean that at age 37 he is guaranteed to hold up or remain at the top of his game, but the issue of whether he can come back from months of inactivity and multiple surgeries is last year's story. So at least in his single weekly group meeting with the media outside game day, he more often is being asked about others — including his offensive line.

"I thought they did a heck of a job last week in as loud a place as there may be in the NFL, especially in the preseason," Manning said. "That place was rocking. We had very few communication issues. We had some audibles and we had some changes at the line of scrimmage we were on the same page, and that's a great test."

Manning has acknowledged his input when the Broncos decided to sign Ryan Lilja and bring in the former Colts guard, presumably as a prime candidate to take over as the starting center in the wake of Dan Koppen's season-ending knee injury. But Manning again praised Manny Ramirez, who is clinging to the No. 1 spot.

"Manny's done a great job," Manning said. "He's worked hard. He's in a new position. The best teacher is experience, and there's not a walk-through or taking snaps in practice or a single play in practice that's not valuable, that he's not learning something, that I'm not learning something from him.

"He and I are constantly communicating and he has done everything that the coaches have asked of him. I think he'll just continue to get better every day."

Manning also said he was looking forward to having Ryan Clady back in the lineup at left tackle Saturday, after his incremental recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. Manning said fill-in Chris Clark had done "an outstanding job," then added:

"We are going to play a number of guys. Hardly anyone plays five linemen anymore. You can play as many as eight guys. It's been great working with Chris, and I feel the same with Chris in there as with Ryan. I have confidence, but there's no question Ryan Clady is a special player. He's worked hard in his rehab and it's great to see him back out there."

He was noncommittal and diplomatic when asked about the state of the running back position, where Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball, and perhaps Knowshon Moreno, are in the hunt for the top spot.

"Both those guys will continue to get better, I think, each and every day with all the hard work they're putting in," Manning said.

Broncos safety Rahim Moore has new attitude covered

By Christopher Dempsey The Denver Post August 17, 2013

Being Rahim Moore means living by a few simple rules: accountability, hard work and attention to detail. You'd never shy away from talking about failure, and though you might have been shamed (see last season's playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens), you won't choose to live with it.

Of all the position battles that were part of Broncos training camp, which wrapped up Thursday, Moore's spot at free safety wasn't one of them. It never was. And yet Moore hasn't played the part of a satisfied player, instead going about his business with a constant chip on his shoulder.

"My last name is Moore for a reason. I have to work more, more, more," he said, laughing. "That's a joke."

Then his tone turned serious.

"I like to work on everything," he said. "You're never perfect. If you get beat, then it's something you've got to work on. If you make a mistake, there's something you've got to work on. Last time I checked, we didn't win the Super Bowl last year — I was to blame for it. I put that on me because I feel that is my responsibility, so I've got work to do. I want to go out there and give the fans what they want to see, especially as a team."

Talking is more of Moore's makeup this season. A more acute attention to detail is too. Where he may have assumed something or simply shrugged it off before, now he verifies all information.

"I'm happy with my communication on the field," Moore said. "I'm able to call stuff out and help everyone else out, sharpen my checks, and also knowing down and distance. I've always been like that, but this year I'm even more sharp with it. Being very sharp and detailed is the key."

But being a leader is too, and this is where Broncos coach John Fox smiles most when he talks about the progress Moore has made.

Then: Moore was drafted in 2011 and was late to his first training camp practice.

Now: Immaturity-related mistakes are a dwindling part of his makeup. "Oh, yeah, he's matured a lot," Fox said of the UCLA product. "He made as big a jump going from his rookie year to last year as anybody on our football team."

But not just that.

"I'm really proud of him," Fox said. "It was a tough thing to happen to him, but I love the way he handled it. It says a lot about his character and what he's made of. He's come back and worked extremely hard. He loves the game and he wants to be the best he can be."

Moore will be on the field for most, if not all, of the first half with Denver's No. 1 defense during Saturday night's preseason game at Seattle. Expect quarterback Peyton Manning and the No. 1 offense to play the majority of the first half too.

Moore is a big fan of the preseason.

"It's 'pre,' but it's still part of your season," Moore said. "You're getting ready for your season, so it's very key to go out there and see where you are as a team. Also, I like it because you get to see how you are when the starters aren't in there. The thing that really defines your team is how the backups are.

"I treat preseason like a playoff game, like a regular-season game. Because if you don't, somebody else is out there trying to beat you, trying to shine, trying to embarrass you."

Moore production

Broncos starting free safety Rahim Moore has improved since entering the league in 2011. A look at his first two years in orange and blue:

Moreno Returns to Practice Field

By Mike Morris DenverBroncos.com August 19, 2013

Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno returned to practice on Monday - and noted that he's working hard to contribute on offense.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Knowshon Moreno’s running and pass blocking abilities a year ago gave the Broncos offense a valuable lift down the homestretch.

And on Wednesday, as Moreno returned to the practice field after sitting out the Broncos’ preseason game at Seattle with an injury, the fifth-year running back noted that he’s again looking to make key contributions as a leader of the Broncos’ rushing attack.

“Hopefully I am,” Moreno said when asked whether he expects to receive the bulk of the team’s carries this season. “That's why we're out here every day working hard, because you do want to be with that No. 1 team, and then if not, find your place on the team somehow.”

Moreno was second on the team with 23 rushing yards on six attempts in the Broncos’ preseason opener at San Francisco on Aug. 8 – including an 11-yard scamper in the second quarter.

However, he was quick to point out that being able to run the ball effectively is only a small fraction of the equation for a running back’s responsibilities in the Broncos offense.

“I mean, running the ball, is instinct. A lot of guys can just do that,” Moreno said. “It's the other, little things -- what can you do? Catch the ball out of the backfield, pass protection. I feel like every year, you want to get better at those things. Not only is it a technical thing, it's a mentality and a physical thing.”

At the tail-end of last season, Moreno showcased his spectrum of talents in flashes after taking over the team’s starting running back duties in late November.

He finished second on the team in rushing in 2012 with 525 yards and four touchdowns – adding 21 receptions for 167 yards – in just eight appearances, six of which were starts.

Moreno also hauled in a second-quarter touchdown from quarterback Peyton Manning in the Broncos’ Divisional Round playoff loss to Baltimore, totaling 32 rushing yards and 21 receiving yards before leaving the game with an injury. But despite being deactivated from the 53-man roster for the majority of the 2012 regular season before his late-November return, Moreno said he never lost hope throughout the process.

“I felt like I was confident the whole season, even though I wasn't out there on Sundays playing,” Moreno said. “I was confident out here on the practice field, just getting better, working against the ones, defensive guys. I was confident the whole time.”

Now, in the midst of a running back competition with Ronnie Hillman, Montee Ball and others, Moreno’s attention is still fixed on finding ways to help the Broncos offense get better.

“I just have to go out there and execute and help the whole team,” Moreno said.

One way he’ll look to accomplish that is by offering his pass-protection abilities, an aspect of Moreno’s game that he believes has improved immensely from when he first entered the league.

“Way better,” Moreno said. “Every year you want to get better at something, and I feel like for me, that's one thing I want to get better at every year.”

And now that he’s back on the field, Moreno will relish every single preseason snap as an opportunity.

“It's getting you ready for the season,” Moreno said. “It doesn't matter what group it is that's in there, every play that you're in is a resume, maybe for other teams and for your team that you're on. It's a way to get better and get ready for the season.”

Osweiler shows he's learned plenty from Manning

By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press August 9, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — That's what 18 months as No. 18's understudy looks like.

Brock Osweiler followed Peyton Manning's cameo appearance Thursday night with his most productive day in a Broncos uniform in Denver's 10-6 preseason win at San Francisco.

Although he didn't produce any points as the Broncos' battered offensive line had its hands full with the 49ers' relentless pressure, the second-year pro displayed his accuracy and athleticism in completing 13 of 18 passes for 105 yards.

After completing just two passes as a rookie, Osweiler has looked much more comfortable in running Denver's offense this summer, helping the Broncos breathe easier and giving Manning a high-quality backup, the likes of which he never really had during his time in Indianapolis.

While it was pretty much accepted last year that all bets were off if Manning's neck issues resurfaced or he otherwise got hurt, there's no longer a foreboding sense that there would be a huge drop-off if Osweiler is pressed into duty.

The second-year pro looks nothing like the wide-eyed rookie he was a year ago when he began his apprenticeship under Manning with his head spinning, his mechanics needing tweaking and his selection in the second round of the NFL draft by a team with championship aspirations being hotly debated by a fan base eager for immediate help.

He's decoding defenses, threading throws over defenders, letting plays develop downfield.

A lot like Manning, actually.

"Yeah, that is a tribute to his work ethic," Broncos coach John Fox said. "He has got a pretty good teacher there at 18 and he has handled that very well. He has grown from it and I think he just continues to improve."

Osweiler said another year under his belt has him feeling much better under center.

"Last year, things were coming at me a million miles per hour," he said. "Things have really seemed to slow down. I think a large credit to that is just the fact of having an offseason. In that offseason, I was given time to study, look into the playbook further. Why are we calling this pass play? Why are we calling this run play? What does this protection actually do? Now things have slowed down to the point where I'm able to just go out there and play and not think as much."

Because his head's no longer spinning, "I'm able to make more plays downfield, which I wasn't really ready for last year. It was a lot of check-downs, quick throws, because I didn't understand the offense completely," Osweiler acknowledged.

Broncos boss John Elway took a lot of heat for selecting Osweiler in the second round out of Arizona State last year rather than drafting, say, running back Doug Martin, who was snatched up by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had a Pro Bowl season.

The Broncos sure could have used a bruising running back in the playoffs, when they couldn't run out the clock and were upset by the Baltimore Ravens in double overtime.

Elway, though, subscribes to the philosophies of former Green Bay general manager Ron Wolf, who drafted a quarterback almost every year despite having Brett Favre under center, and he insists his selection of Osweiler will pay dividends for years to come.

Osweiler might have been the first quarterback taken in this year's draft had he stuck around for his senior year at Arizona State, but he figures learning from the best in the business is better for his football future anyway.

And he swears he never laments landing in Denver, where there's already a four- time MVP under center, instead of another city where he might already be the starting quarterback.

"He hasn't come to me complaining that he thinks he's better than Peyton at this point," Fox cracked last week.

Osweiler insists he's happy to bide his time.

He replaced Manning on Thursday night after one drive and completed his first six passes. His best was an 11-yard rope to well-covered tight end Julius Thomas. His best drive came when he took the Broncos from their own 2 to the Niners' 7, where rookie running back C.J. Anderson was stopped just short on a fourth-and-inches plunge.

"Brock has really worked hard this offseason," Manning said. "I think he's really learned a lot from (quarterbacks) Coach (Greg) Knapp, who's been around the block quite a bit. He's put in a lot of time on his own and I know he enjoyed playing tonight. He didn't get to play as much last year in the preseason, so I know he enjoyed the amount of reps that he got, and I thought he really did a good job." Manning figures to play plenty at Seattle on Aug. 17, the Broncos' last preseason road game and Manning's last chance before the regular season to work in the deafening din of a road stadium with his new teammates Wes Welker and Louis Vasquez along with new center Manny Ramirez and new tight end Thomas.

"The more this offense can play together, I think the better we can be," Manning said.

Osweiler will also get plenty more snaps in the preseason.

If there's one thing he's learned above all else from Manning, it's to prepare as though he'll be the one starting.

Because one day he will be.

"People say I'm the future, I'm the heir apparent. Those are only words," Osweiler said. "I have to go out there, I have to earn that right."

1 Ramirez still the Broncos guy in the middle

By Jeff Legwold ESPN.com August 21, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In an offseason/preseason when Broncos center Manny Ramirez has seen the Broncos sign Dan Koppen, sign Ryan Lilja, sign Steve Vallos, centers all, and even talk to Eugene Amano, Ramirez has simply held down the job, day after day, practice after practice. And Tuesday Ramirez received a vote of confidence.

Namely the guy he snaps the ball to every day in practice.

“Manny has done a great job,’’ quarterback Peyton Manning said. “He’s worked hard. He’s in a new position. The best teacher is experience and there’s not a walk- through or taking snaps before practice or a single play in practice that’s not valuable that he’s not learning something, that I’m not learning something from him. He and I are constantly communicating and he’s done everything that the coaches have asked of him. I think he’ll just continue to get better each day.’’

Good thing Manning feels that way because since Koppen is already on injured reserve and Lilja is now dealing with a knee issue -- he had knee and toe surgery early in the offseason -- Ramirez has continued to be option No. 1 at the position. He has never started a regular-season game at center since being moved into the middle of the offensive line from guard during the Broncos’ offseason program, but he's fairly locked in at this point, having started the first two preseason games.

Ramirez figures to play into the third quarter Saturday night against the Rams. Broncos coach John Fox said Tuesday he plans to take all of the regulars, on both sides of the ball, into the third quarter.

“We like getting them used to coming out after halftime,’’ Fox said. “Halftime is an event in itself. So this will be the first time they have to come out and play after the halftime routine.’’

The Broncos did add another potential center Tuesday when they traded defensive tackle Sealver Siliga to the Seahawks in exchange for guard/center John Moffitt. Moffitt, a third-round pick by the Seahawks in 2011, has started games at both guard spots in Seattle. He also started 15 games at center in his career at Wisconsin, 13 of those as a sophomore. Moffitt did miss time as a rookie in Seattle with a knee injury, but entered training camp in a battle to be the starter at one of the guard spots.

But like Lilja and Vallos, Moffitt now moves into the depth chart behind Ramirez in the middle of the offensive line. And Ramirez is still the guy snapping to Manning. Broncos' Shaun Phillips still mastering a new defensive system

By Christopher Dempsey The Denver Post August 12, 2013

The good thing was the football was right in front of him, an easy grab-and-tote play for Shaun Phillips, an outside linebacker whose tight end background made it certain he knew what to do with the ball. The play was the 9-yard fumble return for a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers in the Broncos' preseason opener Thursday.

Luck? Sure. But for Phillips, it could also be looked at as a small stroke of good karma that he is overcoming a confusing start with the Broncos, which left him questioning his ability, with hard work.

"At first, it was hard," Phillips said of learning Denver's defense. "During OTAs, I wasn't sure of how good I was at football anymore."

Then things slowly began to click for Phillips, who played the past nine seasons with San Diego.

"It's a completely different scheme," Phillips said. "But I'm getting adjusted. The guys are helping me. Now that I know the playbook pretty well, I've just got to learn the nuances within the defense. I know what I'm doing. Now I just need to figure out what everyone else is doing at the same time so it can allow me to make more plays."

When it finally comes together, the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Phillips sees more playmaking possibilities than he had in San Diego. His responsibilities are a huge departure from what he was accustomed to with the Chargers, where his primary task was to keep his outside arm free and chase down ball carriers to the edge — or rush the passer.

"Now I'm more of a two-way presence," Phillips said. "I've got to be able to make the play inside and make the play outside. It allows you to make more plays, so it's good. It was the complete opposite in San Diego."

With the Chargers, his highest tackle total was 88. He has always been a terror to quarterbacks, averaging nearly eight sacks per season.

Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio is already seeing some of his potential for big plays. "Shaun is doing a nice job," Del Rio said. "He is learning the system. I think he is feeling more and more comfortable. He has some natural rush ability. He was around the quarterback and hitting the quarterback the other night, which is good. Obviously he had the nice scoop-and-score."

As difficult as it has been for Phillips, he is in love with the process.

"My goal is to keep putting one foot in front of the other until I get exactly where I need to be, until my craft is perfected," Phillips said. "It took years and years, not just days and days. Not just this season. ... That's what I love about football. Two things: One, the process of building up and, two, the camaraderie amongst your team that you did something together and achieved something together."

Demaryius Thomas becoming a 'Juggernaut' for Broncos

Lindsay H. Jones USA Today Sports July 28, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning lofted a pass down the left side of the Denver Broncos practice field Sunday and barely had to watch it as landed in Demaryius Thomas' hands.

Thomas had split two defensive backs and, though a whistle blew, didn't slow, sprinting 30 more yards to the end zone. As he turned around to make his way back to the huddle, he turned to a group of observers and smiled.

"They didn't make that tackle," Thomas said.

It was the type of play that Thomas made over and over in private workouts this spring with an elite group of NFL wide receivers, including Calvin Johnson and A.J. Green.

"I want to be one of those guys that isn't forgotten once I'm done. That's my main thing," Thomas told USA TODAY Sports.

Wide receivers, perhaps more than players at other positions, make their mark through statistics. Yet Thomas is preparing for the possibility that his individual numbers might go down in 2013 from the 94 catches and 1,434 yards and 10 touchdowns he recorded last season.

This is Thomas' new challenge in Denver, balancing the desire to become one of the game's elite wide receivers while sharing an offensive huddle with other big-name talents in Wes Welker and Eric Decker.

Welker, the newest of the bunch, has a strong career résumé and five 100-catch seasons in the last six years. Decker, the fan favorite and heartthrob whose reality television show with his new wife debuts on E! next month, was Manning's favorite red-zone target last year.

But Thomas is the true No.1 receiver, the one with the best combination of size (6- 3 and 229 pounds), power to throw a vicious stiff-arm and speed to outrun just about any NFL defensive back.

Denver's coaches are confident there isn't a diva in the bunch. Offensive coordinator Adam Gase said Thomas and Decker showed unselfishness as they quietly worked through injuries as rookies in 2010, and especially in 2011 when they were thrust into a run-oriented offense when the Broncos switched to Tim Tebow at quarterback.

Thomas, who played in a triple-option offense at Georgia Tech, was particularly helpful as the Broncos ran so much with Tebow. He frequently brought ideas, not complaints, to offensive meetings.

"It was things like, if we do this, I think I can get open," Gase said. "And they were great suggestions."

It worked. No receiver other than Johnson was as productive as Thomas in the final month of 2011, when Thomas finally had recovered from the torn Achilles tendon suffered in February. And then came the Broncos' wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan.8, 2012, when Thomas made one of the most memorable plays in NFL postseason history.

On the first play of overtime, he caught a short slant pass from Tebow, cut up field and to the other sideline, out-running the Steelers' defense to the end zone.

"You just saw the explosiveness, and his ability – at that size – to just pull away from people," Gase said.

Gase coached quarterbacks for Detroit in 2007 when the Lions used the No.2 draft pick on Johnson. He whole-heartedly approves of his new star pupil spending his offseason training with Johnson. As Thomas develops as a route-runner (he had a limited base to work with when he arrived from Georgia Tech) Gase hopes other parts of Johnson's game are rubbing off on Thomas.

"The one thing from my experience around Calvin was just how he had the confidence to just go and get the ball," Gase said. "That's the one thing I'm sure (Thomas) is trying to work on, stretching the field and just being able to attack the ball. It's not an easy thing to do. You've got a guy draped on you and you're trying to catch while running full-speed. It's one thing you've got to develop and fight through some of the frustrations so that can happen."

Thomas was a redshirt freshman at Georgia Tech in 2006 when Johnson was in his final collegiate season. Thomas was the tag-along kid brother who watched everything Johnson did, and then tried to do the same.

"I'm trying to be better than him, and I'm trying to get where he's at, because I feel like he's the best in the game," Thomas said. Seven years later, it hasn't changed all that much, though Thomas has certainly begun to close the gap between him and his mentor.

"Him, A.J. (Green), the guys we work out, those guys are trying to come get me, trying to be the top in the league, as they should," Johnson said last week about Thomas.

While working out in Atlanta and Los Angeles, where he caught passes from New York Jets' quarterback Mark Sanchez and went through cardio sessions on the beach, Thomas dropped nearly nine pounds and weighed in at 226 pounds when he arrived for training camp. He's hoping to play at 222 pounds this season, and said he already feels faster.

His teammates notice a difference.

"When he goes out here to work, you would think he had never made a catch in his life, or he's a free agent or something," said teammate Andre Caldwell. "He's a big guy, but has the speed of a little guy, and when he gets the ball, we call him 'Juggernaut' (based on the X-Men character) because he can't be tackled."

Julius Thomas looks like a keeper for Broncos at tight end

By Mike Klis The Denver Post August 10, 2013

SAN FRANCISCO — Players like tight end Julius Thomas disappear every day from the NFL.

Thomas was drafted in a round — the fourth — where teams take chances on risky talent, but with modest investment. He was a player hindered early by stubborn injury. A player with more potential than production through his first two seasons.

Eventually, many of those players go away with a "woulda, coulda, shoulda" story to tell.

Thomas, though, still was in there well into the second half of the Broncos' preseason opener Thursday night, a 10-6 victory over the 49ers at Candlestick Park. No Broncos starter played more.

"It was all right," Thomas said of his preseason performance. "It was fun to be out there again, but I've got a long ways to go. I've got to get better out there."

Thomas gets it. He led all Broncos receivers with four catches for 35 yards against the 49ers, yet satisfaction will never come during his first real playing opportunity. A high ankle sprain suffered on his first, and only, catch of his NFL career created concerns about whether Thomas, a basketball player in college, could handle the physical rigors of football.

But Thomas is as smart as he is determined. He attacked the blocking part of his game. Thomas no longer is limited to the receiving tight end position. He has become a legitimate line-of-scrimmage tight end.

"He continues to make plays in practice, and he made some nice catches (against the 49ers,)" quarterback Peyton Manning said. "I know he wants to just get more comfortable in the entire offense, the run blocking, the pass blocking.

"Certainly in the pass receiving, everybody has seen what he has been able to do. So, I think he'll just continue to improve and I think he can be a big part of the offense this year." Look at Anderson go. Thomas was expected to make the 53-man roster regardless of how well he played in the preseason opener. So was strong safety Duke Ihenacho.

Running back C.J. Anderson may have been the player who put himself into 53- man roster consideration based on his preseason-opening effort.

Don't get too carried away. Where have you gone, Xavier Omon? But it might be difficult for the Broncos to slide Anderson onto their practice squad after his 15- carry, 69-yard game against the 49ers.

An undrafted rookie from California, Anderson also has done well in practice. And at 224 pounds, he's the only "big" back on the Denver roster.

Big day Thursday. Much is happening Thursday at Dove Valley. Tom Heckert, the Broncos' director of pro personnel, will return from his suspension that day, which also is the last day of training camp. He will travel with the team to Seattle for the Broncos' preseason game Saturday.

Thursday also is when NFL officials will meet with Von Miller's representatives to discuss the four-game suspension the linebacker received for allegedly violating the league's drug policy.

"I'm confident about it," Miller said at Candlestick Park. "Everybody is confident about it. I think my situation is different. I'm just looking forward to getting a resolution and getting it out of the way.

"It's tough enough to play football as it is, let alone when you have all this other stuff going on. I'm looking forward to just being with my teammates and having it all be about football."

­ Trevathan Making 'Huge Strides' in Year Two

By Brandon Moree DenverBroncos.com August 1, 2013

Linebacker Danny Trevathan is looking more comfortable in his second training camp.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – On Sunday, the Broncos’ second day in pads, Brock Osweiler dropped back and tried to drop a ball into the corner of the endzone during an 11- on-11 session.

But instead of completing the scoring play, the pass was picked off by a leaping Danny Trevathan. Before he could stand with the ball, his defensive teammates had already starting yelling and had him surrounded.

“I was just out there celebrating – I was in the moment I don’t even remember what was going through my mind," Trevathan said. "I just know I wanted to get up and score.”

Trevathan played in 16 games in 2012 – his rookie campaign -- and recorded 30 tackles. Now in his second training camp, he’s feeling more comfortable.

That’s been exemplified by his performance on the practice field.

“Especially in coverage, he’s made huge strides from year one to year two,” linebacker Von Miller said. “I think he’s poised to have a great season this year.”

Fellow Kentucky Wildcat Wesley Woodyard saw this improvement coming back in minicamp.

“Danny's going to be a great player,” Woodyard said in April. “I feel like he has a big role coming up this year, and he's going to be one of the guys that I'm looking forward to being on the field, making plays right beside me and balling and having fun.”

Not only has Trevathan shown some improvement in his coverage skills, he’s been playing with a lot of physicality in training camp.

He laid one of the biggest hits of the day on Thursday when he popped Kemonte’ Bateman after the rookie hauled in a catch. “It makes practice more fun for me,” Trevathan said about being physical. “It makes it more aggressive and it makes it more game-like. You know the guys on the field but you’ve got an attitude towards them that you don’t want them to make a play on you. You want to make a play on them.”

Though he’s competing – pretty aggressively – against the offense in practice and the other defenders on the depth chart, he still considers his teammates family.

“I just expect to be in there and try to make plays,” Trevathan said. “That’s what we’re paid for and that’s what we’re working hard for. We’ve got a great coach behind us; we’ve got a great group of guys.

"We’ve been out here grinding since day one and we’re family. I feel so close to these guys and I’d die out there on that field for those guys.”

Vallos Makes Broncos Debut

By Brandon Moree DenverBroncos.com July 29, 2013

New addition Steve Vallos was at practice Monday morning.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Hours after the Broncos lost Dan Koppen for the 2013 season with a knee injury, the club signed Steve Vallos to rebuild the depth in the center of the offensive line.

The newest Bronco made his training camp debut Monday morning.

"That is part of the game and you hate to lose guys, sometimes you lose them temporarily, but you hate to lose them for the whole season especially," Head Coach John Fox said. "But we feel good about who we have lined up, we just have to get him trained in our system and we will get that done.”

Vallos was drafted in the seventh round of the 2007 draft out of Wake Forest by the Seattle Seahawks. He spent his first season in the league on the Seahawks practice squad and made his first start in 2008, replacing an injured player.

He has played for three other teams, most recently the Jacksonville Jaguars. In his six-year career he has played in 44 games and registered nine starts.

“From what we have gathered, and I’ve only seen one practice, he is smart and a good player," Fox said. "He has played in the league, so we will see where it goes."

Last year the Jaguars brought in Vallos after they suffered an injury on their offensive line.

“It’s unbelievable how fast guys get hurt,” Vallos said. “I was in similar situations last year, guys get hurt and I got to come in and learn stuff. There are great coaches, great players here and I’m just trying to fit in.”

Having played for four different teams and being signed twice in the span of a week last season by the Jaguars, Vallos is no stranger to the free agency process and knows that it’s important to always be ready for the call.

“Just stay in shape – obviously, lifting, running, all of that stuff,” Vallos said. “The mental aspect of it is I’ve played for six years so I’ve been through a lot of systems, a lot of different types of coaches and players and it just adds to my repertoire here.” Right now, Vallos said he’s trying to get adjusted to the new faces and terminology, though he has one familiar face in Offensive Consultant Alex Gibbs, who at one point was his position coach in Seattle.

Vallos said he spent "pretty much the whole morning" with Gibbs as he got accustomed to his new surroundings.

Though the learning curve can be steep when players join a team during training camp, Vallos said that it all starts with getting comfortable.

“It’s just being comfortable with the quarterback, with the other O-linemen," Vallos said. "It just takes time and we just have to make the most of what we have.”

Broncos Q&A: Defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson

Tom Kensler The Denver Post January 6, 2013

Broncos defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson was born and raised in Detroit and said there is something to the notion that athletes from the Motor City are blue-collar tough.

"It's the upbringing," Vickerson said. "Just coming from that rough background, from the inner city, it molds you to have tough skin and be that rugged kind of guy.

"I just take that to the field. You have that mind-set, that tough-mindedness."

Q: You have had to overcome adversity on several occasions during your football career, not becoming a full-time starter until your last couple of years at Michigan State. Did that Motor City toughness help you persevere?

A: We had a coaching change at Michigan State (from Bobby Williams to John L. Smith) and I kind of fell into the doghouse. Of course that affected my play, but I just had to try to stay positive. I just had to refocus and keep my mind on the main things, school and football. I just put everything in order and my life in order.

Q: You majored in criminal justice at Michigan State. Did you have aspirations of seeking a career in law enforcement or going to law school?

A: It's more wanting to give back to underprivileged kids. A lot of kids in Detroit don't have father figures and stuff like that. That's the way it was with me and my brother and my mom. I just want to help juveniles believe that there can be something bigger and better.

Q: How do you accomplish that?

A: I've been doing some little stuff, like talking to juveniles. But I really want to focus on that when I'm done playing. I want to reach out to kids and give my time and attention to them. I want to start a nonprofit organization and have a building or a gymnasium, like a rec center — some place where kids can go that's a safe house, where there's no drugs or violence. When I was growing up, you had the basketball court. But drug dealers would be on the corner over here, and gangs and stuff would be over there. So I'd just go straight home.

Q: Adversity struck last fall when your season ended after five games because of an ankle injury. Was it difficult watching the 2011 Broncos make a run to the playoffs and not being able to contribute? A: It was real tough last year. That's what makes this year even more special for me. One of my goals was to help this team make the playoffs. This has been a fun ride.

Q: Arguably, the best years of your NFL career, 2010 and this season, have been with Justin Bannan by your side. Do you guys complement each other in the trenches?

A: Justin is a good guy to have with his veteran mind-set, his veteran mentality. He knows what he's doing in there. We just feed off each other. We know what we have to do. We know that the other guy is going to be where he's supposed to be and he'll use the proper technique. That's the best part of being a combo.

Q: You played in two playoff games (2007 and 2008) with the Titans. Is experiencing the NFL's postseason about as good as it gets?

A: Yeah, I tell the young guys that playing in the playoffs, it's always special. You don't always get these opportunities. You can't take them for granted. Everything intensifies in the playoffs, so you just have to be ready to play. You have to seize the moment.

Broncos first-round pick Sylvester Williams adjusts to new level

By Mike Chambers The Denver Post August 15, 2013

Sylvester Williams is in the final week of his first NFL training camp, but unlike many of his Broncos teammates, the rookie defensive tackle hasn't been counting down the days.

This isn't drudgery for the former teenage Missouri factory worker who molded radiator lids before molding himself into a first-round draft pick. Being paid to sweat and play a game is much better than sweating about going nowhere.

"Best decision I ever made in my life was to finish high school, and then get that factory job," Williams said about what he did during a six-month span in 2008 near Jefferson City, Mo. "Without that factory job, I don't believe I would be here today. I realized how tough the work was and the load I had on my back every day. I saw my life go nowhere."

Williams, 24, indeed took a highly unusual route to the NFL, particularly as the 28th overall selection in the draft. He played only one year of high school football, making just one start, and was never eligible to play for the Jefferson City High School basketball team because of poor grades. He rallied, however, to graduate with his class by taking difficult credit recovery classes with the support of counselors and friends.

"Through the grace of God, I was able to graduate and walk with my class," he said.

Williams used his diploma to attend Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College after realizing the factory didn't have to be his future. He turned heads in two years of playing football at the junior college and ultimately transferred to North Carolina, where he was a starter in each of his 45 games with the Tar Heels.

Williams, 6-foot-2 and 313 pounds, is listed as the Broncos' backup nose tackle, behind five-year veteran Terrance Knighton. But Williams recently overcame a hyperextended knee and could become the season-opening starter.

"I feel myself getting better. I'm adjusted (to the altitude and rigors of training camp), and now I can think while I'm tired," said Williams, who was not credited with a tackle last week in the Broncos' preseason opener, a 10-6 victory at San Francisco. "It's a blessing to be out there, and the biggest thing I'm learning is, it's a dominant game up front." Williams lived with his oldest sister in high school and didn't realize he had big- league potential until after he rallied to graduate. He remembers attending a University of Kansas football game in 2008 while he was employed at the factory. The Jayhawks were playing Texas Tech and Williams realized he was as big and agile as anyone on the field.

"I told myself, 'I can play.' That day gave me a lot of hope. I saw it. I had the size, and I knew I was athletic. I just had to put it all together," he said. "I wanted to go back to school and better my life. At the time, it was just about education, but with football, I started to get better and began working hard, and it landed me here."

Denver got a seasoned person in the first round.

"He's been through a lot, and I think he's mature beyond his years, and at the end of the day he's a good football player," Broncos coach John Fox said of Williams. "The road he went on is not that well-traveled. He realized he had to adjust what he wanted to do in life and he had to be a self-made guy at that point. He wasn't going to have recruiters knocking his door down. It's a tribute to him on figuring out how to do that on a small budget and get to where he's got.

"That will wake you up to, 'You know, this is a pretty good gig.' "

Training camp isn't exactly a breeze for Williams, but it sure beats working with fire in a factory with no breeze.

Broncos rookie DT Sylvester Williams looking to unleash his inner Warren Sapp

By Christopher Dempsey The Denver Post August 6, 2013

Growing up, Sylvester Williams just knew he’d be a basketball star.

“As a kid I thought I was going to be Shaquille O’Neal,” Williams said, then chuckled. “I’m lacking a few inches.”

His next goal?

“My next goal was to be Warren Sapp.”

And so Williams, the Broncos’ first round draft pick out of North Carolina (28th overall), gets his first chance on Thursday in the preseason opener at San Francisco to begin his journey to be Warren Sapp, a heckuva dominant defensive tackle who was just inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“As a kid I always wanted to do something great.” Williams said. “This is my opportunity to be great.”

As it turned out, in the days leading up to the NFL Draft, Sapp already thought Williams had potential to be great. He was among those who asked Williams to participate in an NFL Network series called ‘Game Changers,’ taped in early April. Williams ate up the opportunity to be in the same space with his boyhood idol and get this piece of advice/info from him:

“Pretty much as a defensive tackle, you’ve got to hunt the quarterback,” Williams said. “Don’t just be one of those guys that says ‘I’m a run stopper.’ He preached getting up the field and get to the quarterback, don’t dance at the line of scrimmage. He told us to penetrate, get up field and get to the quarterback. He said he hunted the quarterback for 13 years.”

And so Williams pledges to do the same. A small knee injury kept him out of a few practices early in camp, but he insists he’s 100 percent now and ready to get on the field – which he will on Thursday at San Francisco – and show what he can do.

“I’m excited,” Williams said. “I can’t wait to get out there. This is my first time playing in the NFL against another team. … They brought me here as a first round pick, so they’ve got a lot of expectations for me and I want to fill those expectations.” Wolfe says he hopes to be back by opener

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press August 22, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Derek Wolfe put in a full upper body workout in the weight room on Thursday, then the Denver Broncos defensive lineman thanked his teammates and fans for their prayers and well wishes after he was taken via ambulance from CenturyLink Field in Seattle last weekend.

Wolfe said he hopes to be back in the lineup by Denver's Sept. 5 opener against Baltimore, less than three weeks after fears that he had suffered a cervical spine injury.

"It's amazing how much you don't like to practice until you can't do it anymore," Wolfe said. "And it's real humbling whenever you can't really feel your extremities for a while. I get a little emotional about it because this is what I love to do and I couldn't imagine myself doing anything but this game."

Wolfe said he holds no grudge against Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson, who slammed into him after he'd been cut by Seattle's Luke Wilson on a running play. Wolfe's head and neck were compressed by the hit and he lay on the turf for a couple of minutes in the silent stadium before being strapped to a backboard and being taken to a hospital.

Tests were negative and he was allowed to fly home with his teammates after the game.

"Yeah, they clapped for me when I got on the plane," Wolfe said. "I got yelled at for not giving the thumbs-up when I was on the stretcher."

At that time, though, Wolfe wasn't sure he was OK. He said the numbness in his arms and legs didn't start to dissipate until he was on his way to the hospital.

"I could move everything the whole time, it was just everything felt kind of fuzzy," he said. "Obviously, when you shock your system like that, it has to kind of reboot. As of now, everything is back to normal. As soon as the pain goes away, I'll be all right. I've got full motion back."

Wolfe said the right side of his neck is still sore and once that subsides he'll undergo another MRI to get clearance to return to action. He's determined to make sure this scare doesn't change the way he plays.

"Well, if you play scared, you're going to get hurt again, so don't count on me playing any scared," he said.

The Broncos are counting on the second-year pro who had six sacks from the tackle position as a rookie last year to help fill the void with All-Pro linebacker Von Miller suspended for the first six games of the regular season.

Denver's pass-rush worries were exacerbated this week when defensive end Robert Ayers (foot) got hurt at practice, leaving Malik Jackson and Shaun Phillips as the primary pass-rushers.

Cornerback Champ Bailey ditched his crutches Thursday but still had a walking boot on his strained left foot, and his replacement, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, hurt his back while trying to make an interception in the end zone and hobbled to the trainer's room but returned to the field about 10 minutes later.

"He got a bump in the back. He's fine," coach John Fox said.

²§§§ Woodyard again Mr. Fix-It for Broncos

By Jeff Legwold ESPN.com August 22, 2013

In 2008, Mike Shanahan liked Wesley Woodyard's speed, his attitude and his on- field savvy, he liked what Woodyard’s future might be. So, Shanahan and the Broncos kept the former University of Kentucky linebacker around, elevating the SEC's tackles leader to the 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie.

With plenty of road traveled since then, Woodyard is still with the Broncos, he's still fast, smart and a respected leader. And six seasons later, Woodyard is still carving out a bigger role with the team seemingly with each passing season, finding ways to fill needs and solve problems, as the guy who saves the day after somebody else's trouble.

Last season Woodyard, who had been special teams ace and spot player on defense, became a full-time starter at weak-side linebacker when D.J. Williams was suspended for the first nine games of the season. By the time the year was over Woodyard had put together a remember-when season and was just the 12th player since the sack became an official statistic in 1982 to finish with at least 100 tackles, at least five sacks and at least three interceptions in the same year.

Woodyard was the first do that in the league since Brian Urlacher in 2007. Woodyard's athletic enough that Shanahan once played him at safety and such a rock-solid guy in the locker room he’s been a team captain for three different head coaches -- Shanahan, Josh McDaniels and John Fox.

“I’ve always believed I could play this game,’’ Woodyard said. “But it’s about getting the opportunity and being ready for the opportunity. Last season I got it and I made sure I was ready for it.’’

This season another suspension has pushed the Broncos defensive plans off the drawing board as they wrestle with the prospect of Von Miller missing the first six games of the season because Miller violated the league’s substance abuse policy. So, now as defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio plays the mix-and-match game to deal with the loss of his best defensive player, Del Rio has moved Woodyard to middle linebacker as the first step.

“Wesley can play multiple spots,’’ Del Rio said. “He’s done that for us here. We’re looking for combinations. We’ve been moving guys around a lot ... but Wesley showed last year he’s a good football player. (He) played a lot of snaps for us and (was) very productive for us. We’re going to get the best combinations of people on the field when we can and put a plan together to utilize them to the best of their abilities and go from there ... Wesley is one of those guys who gives you a lot of options because of all he can do.''

Given Woodyard has practiced at middle linebacker this week and figures to start there Saturday night against the Rams -- the third preseason game when the starters are expected to play into the third quarter -- Woodyard is on track to get the start there against the Ravens in the regular-season opener. Woodyard is also in the final year of his contract -- with a $3 million base salary -- so the Broncos will face a decision at the end of the season about the long-term future of a player they have called upon once again to fix a defensive dilemma.

“I’ve always just wanted to be a guy that didn’t pout, didn’t complain no matter what was going on. And if you’re really a leader and not a guy that just says you’re a leader, you come to work no matter what with the idea you’re going to help the team win a Super Bowl, no matter where they put you. That’s just how I look at it.’’

Thomas, Green Embracing Opportunity

By Mike Morris DenverBroncos.com August 6, 2013

After injuries to Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen, tight ends Julius Thomas and Virgil Green are embracing their increased workloads.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- After only seeing the field for small slivers of the past two seasons, tight ends Julius Thomas and Virgil Green have certainly gotten their lion’s share of action at Broncos training camp.

And now, both players are looking to make the most of their swift opportunities by showing that they can be effective contributors on the Broncos offense.

“This is a league where you have to earn your spot. Nobody is just going to give it to you,” Thomas said following Tuesday’s practice. “It is definitely up to me to come out in these preseason games and instill confidence in the coaches and our other players that I can get the job done at tight end.”

Thomas and Green have absorbed the brunt of the reps at tight end over the past few days as a result of injuries that have temporarily sidelined Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen, last year’s starting tandem.

For Thomas, rising to the occasion when the opportunity presents itself is an inherent part of the game – although he’s also cheering for his teammates to recover as soon as possible.

“It’s the nature of this business. I went down and opportunities came for other people,” Thomas said. “Now it has come around and it is my turn to get my opportunity. I hate to see guys like Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen go out; I am definitely pulling for them to get healthy. It has to be, ‘The next man up,’ and I’m going to try and do my best out there on the field.”

Thomas is well-qualified to empathize with Tamme and Dreessen.

After nagging ankle injuries significantly limited his ability to play over the past two seasons, the 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end has been healthy throughout camp – and he’s also made plays all over the field in practice.

Thomas was taking reps with Peyton Manning even before Tamme and Dreessen were injured – in addition to taking reps with other offensive units – but the injuries to his teammates have increased his workload even more. “I am getting a lot more snaps now in training camp,” Thomas said, noting that his confidence level has increased significantly. “It helps me to be comfortable out there on the field. After being out for so long, it is just something that gives you peace of mind when you are out there.”

Thomas was quick to point out, however, that earning more playing time has been his goal all along.

“I don’t want to watch football games on Sundays—that is not what I signed up for,” Thomas said. “Regardless of other players being injured or not, I was coming to camp to put my best bid in to get playing time on Sundays.

The 6-foot-5, 255 pound Green – who has 8 career receptions for 87 yards – is also looking at the situation as an opportunity to showcase himself as another play- making option for the Broncos.

“Absolutely,” Green responded when asked about whether the situation at tight end is an opportunity for him to contribute more on offense. “I just have to make plays like I did today and just keep building on it and be more consistent.”

Manning said on Tuesday that he was pleased with the performances of both players in camp thus far.

“Virgil and Julius have gotten great work this training camp,” Manning said. “You’ve seen Julius split out wide some; you’ve seen him make some good catches at the tight end. And Virgil is one of our strongest guys on the team, yet he’s made a lot of plays in the passing game. So it’s been a really good camp for both of those guys.”

Now, in trading the practice field for the preseason, both players will have further opportunities to make an impact -- this time in a game setting.

“My whole mindset when I was going through rehab and trying to get back was to be ready for my opportunity when it came," Thomas said. "Now I have a great opportunity ahead of me and I have to make the most of it. So, I’m looking to go into San Francisco and execute well and see if I can show somebody something.”

Hochman: Louis Vasquez, Manny Ramirez give Hispanic pride to Broncos

By Benjamin Hochman The Denver Post August 2, 2013

Louis Vasquez — I wouldn't dare call a man the size of Portugal "Lou Lou" — is the anti-La La Vazquez.

For one, he wanted to be in Denver. Secondly, the spotlight is his enemy. Requested for an interview, the Broncos' right guard asked to do it in a hall away from the media hordes. He can swat away swarming linemen but, alas, not swarming cameramen.

So, Denver, you've added a touchdown-scoring machine in college (Montee Ball), Tom Brady's old favorite target (Wes Welker), a former Pro Bowl cornerback (Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and a first-rounder (Sylvester Williams) whose favorite food is quarterback — and yet I say the Broncos' top offseason addition is this guy.

Why? Well, Welker might be the easy choice because he's so conspicuous, but Denver's passing game already was awesome. The addition of 6-foot-5, 335-pound veteran Vasquez will bolster the Broncos in so many ways. He's proficient when blocking for the run and the pass, he's had only two penalties called on him in his career and he instantly enhances the talents of right tackle Orlando Franklin during combination blocks.

I asked former Broncos center Tom Nalen, headed for the Ring of Fame this fall, about my proclamation and he said: "If Chris Kuper doesn't come back healthy, then absolutely. He was definitely injured in that Baltimore game, and that hurt the team. Getting (Vasquez) was the first thing they did in the offseason. And not only does it strengthen your team, it weakens San Diego."

People I talked to at Dove Valley gush about Vasquez's ability to adjust his technique during a play, as well as the strength in his hands and arms. (Even his handshake hurts.)

"If he gets his hands on you," center Manny Ramirez said, "basically, you're done. His extension is amazing. His balance is good. He's a complete offensive lineman."

But perhaps my favorite thing about Vasquez is that he's a Vasquez. Our city is rich with a Hispanic culture. "We take great pride in being Hispanic, showing the younger Hispanic generation that it is possible to play in the NFL," said Vasquez, 26. "We're just showing them that the door is open, regardless of what the outside world says. We're living proof that we can (make it)."

The "we" is he and Manny. This is one of the craziest what-are-the-odds stories in the NFL. Vasquez was a high school recruit visiting Texas Tech when he met Ramirez, then a Red Raiders offensive lineman. Vasquez said it "opened my eyes" that there were Hispanics playing at a high level of college ball. The two quickly bonded. Later they roomed together at Tech.

"And since we were the only two ones there, they called us brothers," he said. "And we both took it to heart."

In a league with few Hispanic players, the former Texas Tech linemen now play alongside each other. (Of course, it remains to be seen how much Ramirez will actually play. After the Dan Koppen injury, John Elway, Peyton Manning and Co. basically said, "If we're doing this, we're doing this," and persuaded Peyton pal Ryan Lilja to come out of retirement to play center.)

Vasquez and Ramirez speak proudly about being a part of their community, and representing their community. Vasquez will be a part of a weekly interview session with Entravision, the Broncos' Spanish language media partner. It will be aired on local radio and TV shows.

"There's a huge Hispanic community here, we love it, and we try to represent it the right way," Ramirez said. "I have pride for the simple fact that not many Hispanics play at this level. There's only a handful now, and to have two on the same offensive line? I don't think there's ever been two Hispanics on the same team. It's going to be an amazing experience."

Pride permeates all the way to Pullman, Wash. Mike Leach was the coach who signed these two men at Texas Tech. Now at the helm of Washington State, Leach talked about how the Broncos — with Red Raiders Vasquez, Ramirez and Welker — are his new favorite team, just as the Broncos were when he rooted for Floyd Little during his childhood in Wyoming.

"I love it and wish them the best. I'm excited about it," Leach told me by phone. "Louis is really naturally gifted, and Manny is ridiculously strong, even stronger than he looks. I have to kind of hand it to Manny. That league counted him out several times, but they haven't been able to get rid of him."

Williams, Wolfe Bond Over Work Ethic

Rookie Sylvester Williams has been shadowing Derek Wolfe as he transitions to the pros, and Wolfe has been impressed with what he's seen.

Gray Caldwell DenverBroncos.com Jun 4, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As soon as Sylvester Williams arrived in Denver, Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio already knew who the rookie defensive tackle reminded him of.

Last year, a young defensive lineman named Derek Wolfe stepped into Dove Valley and immediately made an impact. By the end of his rookie season, he had started every game and finished third on the team with six sacks.

"Both of these young men, you’ve watched them come in the building — they both have approached it very similarly," Del Rio said during the team's rookie minicamp.

"Come in kind of determined, serious, mature in their approach. I think you’re going to see Sylvester be able to come in and impact us in a similar way." It only makes sense that the two linemen have bonded quickly.

Wolfe, who has taken it upon himself to step up as a leader in year two, said he has taken Williams under his wing as the former University of North Carolina Tar Heel makes the transition to the pros.

“He’s got a ton of potential and he wants to learn," Wolfe said. "So I just tell him, 'Hey, just come with me.' When we’re lifting he’s with me and on the sidelines he comes over and he stands by me. He’s really good at learning and he’s doing a really good job.”

Williams said Wolfe was a player he immediately knew he wanted to seek out once the rookies joined the veterans in the club's offseason conditioning program.

"When I first came in he was one of the guys that I kind of keyed in on as a guy that I was going to stick behind him because I knew he was going to do the right thing," he said.

The biggest lesson he's learning from his fellow lineman is the importance of hard work.

That's not a foreign concept to Williams, whose drive paved the way from factory worker to junior college standout to a key cog in the Carolina defense and eventually a first-round pick.

"The thing I take from him is play hard all the time," Williams said. "He’s a hard- nosed type of guy and he gives 100 percent to everything he does. In the weight room, this is the kind of guy that’s doing extra reps and some guys are struggling to get all the reps they’re supposed to do."

The weight room is where Williams feels his work to step into the NFL game begins. He said his work with "Coach Luke" -- Strength and Conditioning Coach Luke Richesson -- has been one of the most important aspects of the OTA period. Another is his work in the film room.

Defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson said Williams needs to work on his technique using his hands, because when he uses his hands, he can "dominate." The rookie has taken that advice to heart, "watching as much film as (he) can" to pick up on offensive keys so that he can simply react instead of hesitating to read the play before he gets his hands on the offensive linemen in front of him.

“I definitely see myself getting better every day," Williams said. "Every day I say, OK, something I didn’t do as well the day before, I feel myself getting better. So it’s a steady progress."

That work ethic isn't lost on Williams' teammates or his defensive coordinator. "That is what I like about the way he’s started here, that he’s come in here very determined, very serious, very mature, very much about his business," Del Rio said. "That is good for all of us.”

Manning Working to Ease Transition for Ball, Welker

After practice, quarterback Peyton Manning has often stayed on the field with the likes of rookie Montee Ball and newcomer Wes Welker.

Gray Caldwell DenverBroncos.com May 30, 2013

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In Denver, rookies better learn quickly -- especially on the offensive side of the ball.

"If I were a rookie, it would be a harder learning curve just because it is Peyton Manning and you want to make sure you’re perfect because that guy is a perfectionist," wide receiver Eric Decker said. "He does things the right way. He demands the best out of everybody. I think it just makes you work that much harder."

Fortunately for those rookies, Manning has a hands-on approach to make sure they keep up with the veterans.

Take, for example, rookie running back Montee Ball. Throughout OTAs, Manning has stayed on the field after practice to work with him as he adjusts to the NFL game.

"Just kind of going through plays, going through games, getting him comfortable hearing audibles at the line of scrimmage," Manning said of the post-practice sessions. "Because we are going to count on him in a big way this year. He’s a rookie, but (Head) Coach (John) Fox is not going to bring him along slowly. We are going to put him in there and make him a contributor this year. So, the more repetitions we can get out here talking football, talking scenarios, I think the more comfortable he’ll be once the regular season gets here.”

He has also tried to help in the meeting rooms.

Manning said he understands that rookies are sometimes hesitant to ask questions because they don't want to look like they're falling behind. But that can be harmful to their progress.

"I tell Montee Ball, ‘If you don’t ask questions, then we assume you know exactly what it is you are doing. Then that’s on you if you don’t know,'" he said.

But that work goes beyond just the rookies. Manning has also pulled aside another running back, Ronnie Hillman, and even newcomer Wes Welker after practice.

The quarterback said his new wide receiver is hard at work to make sure he picks up the Broncos' offense as quickly as possible, and Manning wants to help however he can.

"You hear Wes asking a question, I’ll stand up and say, ‘Hey look, this is kind of what we’re thinking on this play and let’s just get it all out in the open,’" Manning said.

Not that Welker needs much help. Fox called the veteran "arguably the most productive slot receiver in the league over the last five years," and his five 100- catch, 1,000-yard seasons in the past six years speak to that notion.

Manning said the way the receiver can read defenses reminds him of a quarterback. "The knowledge of football that he has — going back to his college days and the sophisticated system he played in New England, his experience with (Patriots QB) Tom (Brady) — he’s a very knowledgeable player," he said. "Really, some of the coverages that he sees reminds me of the one year I played with Marshall Faulk.

Marshall Faulk could read coverages like a quarterback back there in the backfield. Wes has great knowledge for defenses, which I think has been a huge weapon for him in his successful career.”

Whether he's working with a rookie running back or a 10th-year wide receiver, Manning said constant dialogue is the key.

And that extra work can only help the team come September.

Woodyard, Bailey, Wolfe Leaders on Defense Gray Caldwell DenverBroncos.com May 21, 2013

Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio said three players stand out to him as the leaders of the Broncos defense.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Earlier this offseason, Von Miller called the Broncos' locker room one of the best in the NFL.

Part of that, Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio confirmed on Tuesday, is the abundance of leadership.

Speaking specifically about the defensive side of the ball, Del Rio pointed out two Broncos in particular that the rest of the unit looks up to.

"I think Wesley Woodyard stepped forward last year, became a leader for us," he said. "Champ Bailey, because of his stature, is a constant force here. So those are the two guys that jump to my mind."

"Guys always emerge," he continued. "I try to talk about, 'Look, this is our defense, and you need to embrace it and make it your own. Take ownership.' Part of that is having leaders step up and take charge."

Another player that the defensive coordinator expects to take a step toward that leadership role is second-year defensive lineman Derek Wolfe.

While it was hard for him to be a leader as a rookie, Del Rio said Wolfe began to emerge as one as the year went on. Miller said Wolfe has completed that transition this offseason.

"He's already the leader in the defensive line room," said Miller, who doesn't consider himself a vocal leader and prefers to let his "actions on the field speak for (him)." "I think everybody knew he was destined to be that right when we first

Draft Memories Fuel Three Broncos

Gray Caldwell DenverBroncos.com Apr 17, 2013

For Eric Decker, Derek Wolfe and Wesley Woodyard, the draft doesn't always bring back positive memories. But all three use it as motivation.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The 2013 NFL Draft kicks off in just eight days. But one of the most exciting events of the NFL offseason doesn't always conjure fond memories for the players involved.

"It's one of the most stressful times of your life as a player, going through that," said defensive lineman Derek Wolfe, a second-round pick in 2012. "It's hard to put into words the feelings that you get. Because you have no clue what's going to happen, what's in store for your future. So you're just waiting around to see who wants you."

Wide receiver Eric Decker agreed that the actual draft weekend was the most stressful aspect of the event, but the leadup to it was even harder for him.

After suffering a foot injury in his final season at the University of Minnesota, Decker wasn't able to showcase his skills at the NFL Scouting Combine or a Pro Day.

But when he finally got the call that he was headed to Denver in the third round, the whole process was worth it.

"It was a big relief," he said. "I was excited for the opportunity to play the game that I grew up loving. To be with such a great organization, I cherish that moment every day that I'm here."

For linebacker Wesley Woodyard, the actual draft never brought a happy ending.

After earning first-team All-SEC honors in each of his final two seasons at Kentucky, where he ranked eighth in school history in tackles, Woodyard waited seven excruciating rounds but never heard his name called.

"I thought I would never get to play this game again," he recalled. "I think that set in to me. I remember when I drove out here to go to the airport. It was dark, raining. I shed a few tears."

"Thinking about not having a chance to play this game pushes me every day," he said. "It's always there. And my thing is: being undersized and being undrafted, those chips will never go away for me, man."

Woodyard didn't let the snub hold him back. Instead, he made the team as an undrafted free agent, going on to start six games as a rookie. Fast forward to last season, and Woodyard was a team captain for the fourth consecutive season, starting 14 games as the only player in the league to record at least 100 tackles, five sacks and three interceptions in 2012.

Now, some incoming draft prospects are even compared to Woodyard.

"I think that's what everybody wants to be -- compared to somebody," he said. "Especially if you respect the game of football, you want guys coming after you to look up to you."

For better or worse, draft memories never go away for many NFL players. And for those that feel they should have been drafted sooner -- or at all -- it can serve as fuel for a long and successful career.

"When somebody does something like that to you or something like that happens in your life, it always has a special place in your heart -- it kind of sticks with you your whole life," Wolfe said. "It kind of puts a little chip on your shoulder. But all that really matters is where you're at now. It doesn't matter what happened in the past. But you can definitely remember that feeling."

Vickerson, Knighton Create 'Stout' Interior

A look at how defensive tackles Kevin Vickerson and Terrance Knighton could clog up the middle of the defensive line -- and get after the passer.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Terrance Knighton and Kevin Vickerson entered the media room at Broncos headquarters a little more than four hours apart Wednesday. But their paths had already crossed.

"Yeah, he was around for a little bit, kind of doing his little recruiting thing," Knighton said.

Vickerson solid Knighton on Denver -- "the city, the fans, the atmosphere on Sundays," Knighton said. Vickerson could have also sold the opportunity to play alongside himself, and if the Broncos get what they want, they'll have 665 pounds' worth of humanity clogging gaps, breaking down pockets from the inside and generally dismantling blocking schemes from the inside out.

Ideally, you won't be able to mention one without the other, and they ought to mesh nicely with Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio's fondness for massive defensive tackles who can play off each other and even rotate responsibilities.

"Jack used the word 'stout.' He needs stout. He wants us to be stout. Stout," Vickerson said. "Stout in the inside. No movement. Penetrating tackles, dancing bears. Guys that can move."

Knighton said he plans to watch film of Vickerson to learn what he does -- and then adapt his play accordingly.

"I think the roles will be similar. Be stout against the run, push the line of scrimmage back and collapse the pocket against the pass," Knighton said.

"I'm not quite sure how they’re going to do it yet. (Vickerson) can play left and right; I can play left and right. He can play nose and three-(technique); I can do both also. It’ll be fun once we get to learn each other’s style and what we’re comfortable with and (become) familiar with one another."

Vickerson was more often the nose tackle last year, but has shown ample versatility in recent years, beginning when he was a 3-4 defensive end in 2010, his first season with the Broncos. The next year, the Broncos converted to a 4-3 and Dennis Allen arrived as defensive coordinator, asking him to slim down to 280 pounds.

Then Allen left, Del Rio arrived, and got Vickerson to bulk up to nearly 330 pounds. Like an A-list actor who will go to any method -- or Method -- to play a role, Vickerson packed on the weight.

Now, Vickerson doesn't have to change a thing -- and Knighton, through his film study, plans to adjust to him.

"I'm comfortable," Vickerson said. "I'm eating my burgers. I'm Big Vick. I ain't changing, man. So that's the thing. My wife was looking at my stomach, so it's all good."

What will be worth watching is how the Broncos rotate their defensive tackles – and who plays on pass-rushing downs. Knighton has the raw tools to be an effective pass rusher, and according to Pro Football Focus, he finished 11th among 4-3 defensive tackles last year with seven quarterback hits, one more than he had in the previous three seasons. But Vickerson is also capable in the pass rush; he had seven quarterback hits in 2009 and 2010, and had four last year, even though his pass-rushing repetitions were limited.

If Derek Wolfe continues to move inside to a three-technique role on pass-rushing downs, then the Broncos could have the potential for their most explosive interior pass-rushing tandem in years -- especially if Knighton and Vickerson rotate on pass-rush downs, keeping each other fresh for their tag-team work in the base package.
