Yesterday, John Lynch asked to be released from the Broncos in order to play for another team (or retire). He exited before the Broncos had the chance to Lynch him from the team. A graceful bow- out? Absolutely. After skipping Tuesday night’s meeting and being excused from Wednesday morning’s practice, Lynch saw that the door was wide open at Dove Valley. He was with the team [...]

I reported yesterday that Broncos’ right guard Montrae Holland reported to camp 9 lbs. overweight and has to shed the pounds before practicing with his team. Holland weighed 350-360 lbs. during the off-season, and lost a lot of it before reporting to camp. He has jeopardized his starting spot and his health. Here’s a video of [...]

- I thought Ryan Torain looked good during the first day of camp. Apparently, he’s been running stronger and taking some harder hits in camp, but can he be part of the solution to the Broncos running game? Mike Klis thinks so.
- Jason Elam is feeling weird these days. I wonder if it’s the new uniform?
- D.J. [...]

Being a kicker in the NFL is tough. Fans who sit in front of the tube each Sunday are guaranteed to see an important field goal attempt. The job of a kicker really can be described as “Hours of Boredom Surrounded by a few Seconds of Panic.” In a previous post, I suggested that this guy replace Jason [...]

The AFC West bloggers at Fan-Sided have been asked to give an assessment of the other teams in the AFC West. The division is once again trying to regain its status as one of the top divisions in the league, but it seems that all of the teams (except Chargers) are in a rebuilding stage. I will argue that [...]

This post is dedicated to the dude wearing the Colts t-shirt at Broncos camp today.
A few sideline observations from today’s first practice:
- Players that impressed me the most -
1. WR Glenn Martinez - impressed the crowd with some tough catches from Cutler.
2. Eddie Royal - believe me when I tell you that this guy is fast. He had a couple of solid catches [...]

For all of you trivia junkies out there, here is a link to a new feature courtesy of Rocky Mountain News. They have six Broncos trivia games asking you to type in the names of the all-time leaders in various categories. We all know who is #1 on the board for career passing yards, but do you know who takes the #5 spot? Let’s see how [...]

Rod Smith truly has orange and blue running through his veins. He describes what the Broncos organization has done for him during his emotional press conference today:

We knew this day was coming. Today, at 2:00 p.m. Rod Smith makes his retirement official. He will probably shed a few tears as he takes the podium at Dove Valley to talk about his 13 years as a Denver Bronco. An undrafted free agent, Smith set numerous receiving records, and was a three time Pro Bowler. With all of the [...]

The Broncos have decided to do check-ins and physicals on Friday morning before the first practice. Therefore, practice #1 will be pushed back to 11:15 a.m., and practice #2 will be held at 4:05 p.m. Practices are open to the public at no cost. Nothing is scheduled for Thursday except for Rod Smith’s press conference.
