The annual what are you watching for in the 1st preseason game

[Hotrod]

Ok Vote

Im going with our young Wr's Im pretty excited about them.

[KipCorrington25]

Looking forward to seeing Mike Bell.

[loborugger]

I will be most interested, without a doubt, in our RBs. This is a Shanny team. Running drives the offense. If we can move the ball on the ground with 8 or 9 in the box, then the play of Plummer becomes less relevant.

Of secondary interest will be Foxworth and D Williams. Have they made positive strides? Will they suffer a sophmore slump?

Finally, I wanna see how Elvis does.

GO BRONCOS!

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Agree about young receivers- Are they for real or are they just products of media hype? Will also be watching the backup OL closely.

[AlienBronco]

First and foremost, no injuries. The other I would look for is the TE's development, because the TE usually is our 3th receiver, and Plummer needs a consistent goto TE for the team to move the ball(3th down conversion and redzone offense)

Hmmm forgot about TE's good catch....Im not concerned as a whole since Shanny always seems to get atleast some production from that unit. Althou it would be nice if the new kid would give us some added redzone threat.

[CHANGSTER]

Bell vs. Bell

Somehow i ended up with both in my ffl.

[dbfan4life]

Very interested in seeing for myself what the Bell kid is all about! WR's would be second on the list.

[Hotrod]

Bell vs. Bell

Thats a double edge sword. If either becomes the everydown back your gold if they split time that may suck.

[Arkansas Bronco]

Cutler.

[12th man]

Mike Bell

[CHANGSTER]

Tell me about it. I guess ima hold onto em both and see if either becomes the everydown back. heres hoping i can trade both to some shmuck if they end up splittin carries.

My DirecTV Guide said that they are showing the game at 1:00 central (maybe midnight) tonight/early tomorrow morning.

LOL that thread is some funny stuff. Its like a surprise start time on NFL Network Hilarious!

[BMF Bronco]

Plummer/Cutler

[Jason in LA]

I'm looking for an injury free game, because that's the only thing that matters in these meaningless games.

[Arkansas Bronco]

I didnt vote injury free because I am hoping for that every game.

[defenseman]

Defensive line and pressure..dman

[El Guapo]

[DenverBrit]

[Dagmar]

CBS4 at 530pm woohoo!

[Orange_Beard]

Cutler, not so much Plummer

[broncosteven]

1 Front 4 pass rush (I hosed up my vote)

2 D line Depth - I am concerned about Warren & China Brown being hurt.

3 I want to see how Lang fits in the line rotation.

4 Corner & over all secondary play

5 Mike Bell

6 WR play

7 Cutler

I know Coyer wont show much in preseason but I am concerned about Defense. Defense Wins Championships! Failure is NOT AN OPTION FELLAS!

[BroncoBuff]

THREE THINGS, all on offense:

1) Cutler, Cutler, Cutler
2) Mike Bell
3) New wide receivers - Marshall, Kircus, Terrell

[smalltowngrll]

I picked the Plummer/Cutler deal above on the Poll....But, honestly, I'm really interested in seeing how the team plays as a whole and I want to see how our picks during the offseason adapted to the system! I wanna see all of Khans/SoCals/Med's reports in action!!

[BroncoBuff]

Man ... I just want to leave work, go home and sleep until 8:30 PM ....


I CAN'T WAIT to see CUTLER, BELL, MARSHALL, KIRCUS, SCHEFFLER, KUPER




"Oh dear lord ... send me softly into the arms of Morpheus at this moment, only to awaken me with the soft smell of jasmine and astroturf at 9 o'clock Pacific Daylight time .... I prey thee ... :pray: "

[Hotrod]

Interesting lots of love for the O in this poll. Wonder if its because of all the young talent or the belief that our D is a strong point over all???

[Crushaholic]

I think it had something to do with the fact that we can only make ONE choice...thwack

I'm looking forward to seeing the offense, but I DID choose the D-line. I think if we get some decent pass rush this time around, we're in for a very good year...

[Hotrod]

;D I wanted people to choose and not just vote for 5 or 6 things. I wanted to see what the top 2-3 things were. Some of you clowns would have voted for all 10 options

[Jason in LA]

It's funny when everybody gets all excited about preseason games. I've said it many times, these games mean absolutly nothing. If Cultler looks great, it doesn't mean anything because the defense won't be throwing anything at him. Both teams will be running vanilla offenses and defenses. Remember, Ryan Leaf looked like a Pro Bowler in his first preseason.

I put more stock in training camp practices than preseason games. That's were the position battles are won and lost.

I'm hoping people don't get over excited about certain players over these meaningless games. And I'm hoping that the sky doesn't fall...again, when some players or units don't look good.

[Alkazar]

First thing I'm looking for is absolutely no injuries, after that, its gotta be the Cheerleaders ;), then Plummer and Cutler in action.

[(Jae)]

Hopefully Mike Bell rushinhg for 300 yards, and Marshall catching 10+ balls

[Rohirrim]

Mainly, I want to see Mikey run and Jay throw. Pretty simple, eh? ;D

[Arkansas Bronco]

I think I would have been one of those :clown:

Good point, considering I tried to check ALL the circles...Hilarious!

[Dedhed]

I think the MBell story has to be #1. D line is a close second, particularly Elvis. Eager to see Cutler, but he comes in 3rd given that MBell and Elvis have starter potential.

Good points but I dont see anything wrong with getting excited about Bronco ball if its Preseason or other wise. :thumbsup:

[Arkansas Bronco]

I am taking a bottle of bourbon into my computer room then going to KOA and drink and listen, what a great night. I should be hammered by half time.

I think we've all been around long enough to know how things work when it comes to pre-season vs. regular season. Reality is, this is our first real "glimpse" at our team this year. Not to mention this is the first time since January that we've seen our Broncos play....we're jonesing for some football!!

[ScottXray]

I'm MAINLY interested in :

Jake....Improvement?
Cutler....Accuracy in game situation.
Receivers...Kircus, Marshall
Bells...
D-line



I picked ...NO INJURIES!:welcome:

[Dagmar]

Man what kind of Bronco Fan are you? You should go out & get some Grey Goose & "Get your Goose on!"!!!Hilarious!

[Mediator12]

You know what, the freakin Lions sold out yesterday. I could of driven up to Fort Wayne and watched the game. Silly late ticket buying Lions non-fans ;D

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Joe Williams actually had a funny line yesterday. Said the Columbus police got an email demanding to know where the half empty bottle of Grey Goose went. Signed Mel Gibson.

[Arkansas Bronco]

Man what kind of Bronco Fan are you?
Im a Lifer. :thumbs:
Only 2 kinds of liquor I drink are bourbon and beer.
The killer B's - Broncos, Bourbon and Beer

[Archie]

I voted M. Bell vs. Tater.... I'm most intrigued by that. Secondly I want to watch Cutler and just see what this guy brings. All I have seen of him is hilights so this will be sweet. Then the DLine which is arguably the most important thing for us to develop this year. But frankly I WANT TO WATCH IT ALL...... I'm dang excited to get to see some football.

Me and the family will be camping in western Nebraska tonight and since the motorhome is also Tailgate central (in lot R) I'll have the boob tube and satellite dialed in. Bringing a Tivo unit too just to see what I think and to be able to watch replays when I want to watch them, :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: etc... :) whooo hooo

[Orange_Beard]

I want to see what Elvis looks like against NFL players.

[Jason in LA]

My comments are because of the melt down that this place goes through every preseason. Remember last year, when may posters questioned whether the Broncos were even a playoff team because of preseason games? The sky fell, just like it day after the draft.

This is a playoff team, even if they go out and suck ass in the preseason.

I missed that, weren't we 4-0 in pre-season last year?

[Al Wilson]

Very excited to see what Mike Bell and Brandon Marshall can do in live action.

[Northman]

1) How well the running game is with Bell.
2) How Jay Cutler looks with the spotlight on him. Also how accurate he is compared to Jake.
3) Recievers
4) O-line protection
5) Defensive push from the front 4.
6) Play-calling. I know its only pre-season but i want to see how they do without Kubes back there now.

[Dagmar]

20 minutes to go!
