Training camp has already started for the rookies. They reported to camp on Wednesday. The veterans will report on Sunday when the first full team practice officially begins. For those of you in the Denver area, or for those of you considering making the trip to Dove Valley to attend practice, let me tell you that it’s well worth it. I went to about 10 practices last year and got to experience the sights, sounds, and even smells that accompany the game of football. An errant pass can send a receiver or a defender into your lap. You can hear the conversations [...]

We have the NFC North taking on the NFC East. Go here to vote for the best division in the AFC. We have the AFC West taking on the AFC East. The winner from the NFC will take on the winner from the AFC in the Super Bowl Ballot. Polls for the Conference Championship close on Thursday, so head over and vote now!

Josh McDaniels went on Fox Sports to talk about the upcoming season. He speaks about the mindset that the team needs to maintain throughout the season as well as Tim Tebow as a draft choice. McD is very convinced that Kyle Orton is the starter at least going into training camp based on what he’s shown the coaches in May and June. That makes this our clip of the week.  

Broncos: What could have happened to the Broncos defense had Elvis Dumervil not received a contract extension. John Elway is a fan of Tim Tebow’s work ethic. A fan’s guide to attending Broncos training camp. A training camp primer: Getting to know the defensive line.  Terrell Owens to the Broncos? “A Low Risk, Potentially High Reward Option.” Is starting Tebow mid-season a bad idea? AFC West: KC fans should be full of hope when it comes to Matt Cassel. Darrius Heyward-Bey needs to justify why he’s the highest paid athlete in the Bay Area. Philip Rivers had been watching highlights of Ryan Mathews [...]

Happy Friday. Happy pay day. And that it is for outside linebacker, Elvis Dumervil.  Dr. Doom finally received and agreed to a big long term contract worth $61.5 million over 6 years ($43.1 million guaranteed). That’s Champ Bailey-like money for a guy who makes just as big an impact as Bailey on defense.  Dumervil is well deserving of this deal. He led the league in sacks last season with 17. That’s after Josh McDaniels asked him to make the switch from inside to outside linebacker. Dumervil did so without complaining and showed that he’s capable of being a great defensive [...]

Williams, Ryan Harris, Justin Bannan, Elvis Dumervil, and Brian Dawkins representing from the Broncos. Go here to vote for the AFC West. The winner of this contest will take on the AFC East to see which division is the toughest in football. Cast your ballot now!

The results from Monday’s poll question are in. The majority of you (40%) believe that the Chiefs will lead the AFC West in rushing this season. The Chargers came in 2nd with 32% of the vote, followed by the Broncos with 25%, and the Raiders with 3%. There were a total of 525 voters. Source: Yardbarker I completely agree with the majority. The Chiefs’ backfield of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones is downright frightening. This is especially true for Broncos fans that saw Charles blast our defense for 259 rushing yards and 2 TDs in our last meeting with the Chiefs. Let’s [...]

As many of you know, Tim Tebow’s Nike training shoe just came out. On the left heel, reads the word “PROMISE.” This stems from Tebow’s Florida days when he promised that “a lot of good will come out of this” after a 1 point loss to Ole Miss in 2008. He promised to play harder than any player, and to work his teammates harder than anyone else for the remainder of the season. Here’s the clip of his speech with ”The Promise” coming at the 2:15 mark.  Here are fifteen promises I would like to see made by the Broncos this season: The Broncos organization promises Elvis [...]

We here at FanSided are ready to find out which division is the toughest in football. To determine this, the lead writers for each NFL team got together to vote for all-stars at each position for their respective divisions. The AFC West is jammed packed with talent and I think we’ve got a legitimate shot at taking home the Super Bowl crown. With Philip Rivers at QB, Thomas Jones at RB, and Champ Bailey and Nnamdi Asomugha at cornerback, the AFC West is stacked.   Now the voting process must get underway. Today we have the NFC West vs. the NFC East. Go here to vote for [...]
