TC Standouts!

Training camp couldn’t seem much further away right now as I sit here at a table in a hotel room hard by San Francisco International Airport and a long Jay Cutler pass from the western shore of San Francisco Bay. For one thing, it was 68 degrees when our plane landed — at 5:20 in the afternoon, with three hours of daylight still left. The dry heat in which the Broncos practiced throughout the last two weeks is just a memory, although after Monday night’s game it will be replaced by the stew-thick humidity-abetted heat of north Texas.

But before we move on to game day, some final thoughts on the stars of the camp that was:

Hixon showed a fearless streak, and was more than willing to go across the middle whenever asked — especially on the full-pad days. His next-day return from a first-degree shoulder separation also impressed coaches and onlookers alike.

WHO DOUBTS HIXON?

WHO DOUBTS HIXON?

I do. I went to three camp days, and was never impressed, esp after the last camp where it became obvious just how much better Javon and Brandon are then the other WRs.

Every year we get excited about some new WR or TE that is going to lite the world on fire. Last year it was Kircus or Tony S. The verdict is still out on both of thoose, but we saw down the stretch last year just how weak our WR situation was.

You saw Hixon, not HIXON.

This whole Hixon thing is an adolescent reaction to the anxiety of waiting for the games to start. It has reached the level of 3rd grade knock-knock jokes. Boring, actually.

Reached? That's where it began.

So what's your point?

Same can be said for most Rock Music, "an adolescent reaction to the anxiety of waiting for adulthood to start". But then you are probably more of a Leroy Anderson on turntable, while sipping scotch & smoking a pipe kinda guy.

You never heard Leroy Anderson?

The man could play a mean Typewritter!

Well, you have a slightly demented fantasy life, I'd imagine. You certainly missed on this one.........

The point is: *yawn*

You got me on the 1st point.

Will only argue 2nd point as the context changes from thread to thread but to each his own.

You obtuse reaction to a stupid joke is what is rather dull and boring, YAWN!

OL Emmanuel Akah: On the field, offensive coordinator Rick Dennison gave the British import a fair amount of praise. As one would expect with someone relatively new to the sport, he’s raw, but has some talent and held his own in one-on-one duels. Injuries among fellow offensive linemen ought to give Akah more snaps on Monday night.
And of course, there was the enthusiastic — and, for spectators, frequently entertaining — coaching exhortations of assistant head coach/defense Jim Bates.


Who the hell is this?? Somebody give me the lowdown.

Knock, Knock

Who's there?

Domenik.

Domenik Who?

Domenik Hixon, destroyer of worlds, is getting ready to get this 2007 party started right by scoring 2 touchdowns against SF tonight on his way to becoming our new "deep threat" receiver, and helping Cutler become NFL MVP.




Does that rhyme?

[broncosteven]

Knock, Knock...

Wasn't that line from Homers Oddsey when he was caught under Calypso's spell and stranded on that Island for 7 years?

Very well could be. It could also be a line from Homer when he is at Moe's tavern under the spell of Beer.
