9:07 am. Disco,Pacino,Kayore and myself are on scene. The OrangeMane reporter Kaylore is at work. Those guys went in to report and I'm holding the bus.
We upgraded the stereo system last night and we were just told by Shanny via a security guard to please turn down the bus...lol A nice melody of "WE WILL ROCK YOU" apparently was heard on the field. The Broncos fans are showing up in full force as the lot is full!When I get a call from one of those guys I'll drop an update. Kalore will be onboard after practice for a full update as well. GO BRONCOS! Meck 77 Last edited by OrangeForceOne; 07-31-2005 at 08:12 AM.. |

Meck The real question is did Shanny say turn that music down, or Did he say go tell OF1 to turn it down. You should have gone with "Flight of Valkeryies," causing nothing goes better Napalm in the morning then Bronco's football. Great Jobs thanks for all us in the real world. |

Disco just called in. Short yardage running game practice just ended. Defense dominated. Special teams up now. Sauerbraun just rocked 10 punts in a row of 50-60 yards. He couldn't really talk much. He'll be back on the bus in 10 minutes with more details.

Hey guys! Kaylore here live from OF1. Today we saw fewer skill and possition drills and more scrimmages and faux game play. Lets get things started off.
General Formations: People wanted to know what formatins we're running so here you go. Base 4-3 for D, and lots of two tight end sets. They really like using on of those tight ends by moing them ito the slot or back to play full back after coverage is read. Jeb and Nate Jackson are the starting tight-ends, but they'll put different guys in to play different packages. Watts is the the third guy and he plays a lot of slot. LeSeur saw a lot of work at nickle with Roc and Foxworth coming in now and again. Kannell is the second QB with BVP the third. Right now BVP is outperforming Kannell. Bradlee looked excellent especially during the scrimmages. He lofted this one pass right into a VERY small zone (and it was dropped by Stephen Alexander). He is very comfortable back there and seems to be really keeping his head on straight. I'll admit he's starting grow on me. He makes plays and moves around well. Accuracy and touch are just right. Plummer: His hard count is excellent. Drew Mike Myers off-sides, and made several of the defenders flinch repeatedly. At one of the breaks they had to tell the Defense to watch the hard count because we was working it so well. His accuracy is very good and there were a few times when he gunned the ball that it had more zip than I thought Plummer was capable of. Good accuracy and despite sketchy pass protection he escaped the rush regularly and on more than a few occations beat the blitz for decent gains. Our starters all looked good. Danny Kannell: This guy has had at least two turnovers a practice. He just makes stupid choices. His deep ball is his strong point, but when you run a lot of quick inside routes like we do, he's going to get us killed. He lobbed over to Mike who had a delayed release and Walls was sitting in a short zone and just ran in front of the pass and took it. Another pass had walls and Lynch molesting a receiver I couldn't see and he threw it right at them. Just dumb mistakes. Matt Mauk: Average. Nothing exciting, nothing terrible. Only took a few snaps and mostly thre underneath to his back. Next: Pass Practice |

Man we are real lucky in the mane to have OF1 and Kaylore reporting. Its awesome to hear these reports from minds that think alike rather than reporters who dont report anything that we want to hear.
So thanks again!!! GGGOOO Broncos! |

They ran practice routes with tight ends and full backs on one side and the receivers on the other. They were working on the deep game which I thought was good considering both teams looked weaker against it.
Lelie and Rod looked good. The best at accuracy down field was Kannell and BVP. Plummer was alright, but needs to get a little better there. Plummer was the best at not throwing to where a corner could get to it, but unfortunately sometimes that meant the receiver couldn't either. Jeb and Nate are the best in the pass game. Duke and Hape were ok but they need to square their shoulders more on certain breaks so as to make the defender commit to one side. The coaches were having them do a lot breaks and cutbacks. A lot of routes going to the corner and then either a button hook or twist to the inside. Pray to the heaves Leach never has to catch a pass for us. No agility and poor hands. Nate Jackson caught one with one hand. He has really good hands. Also his blocking was much better. Center. Either Josh Sewell changed his mind, or someone wearing his number was out there playing Center today. Chris Myers is the second string center and his friends Randy and Susan said he was playing with a bruised ankle and some bad blisters on his feet. Nothing serious but it reminded me that there are little annoying things that can hurt game play but aren't listed as injuries. Chris looks good and Nalen looks good. Sewell or whoever 79 is now missed some snaps. |

Special teams.
They did some punt work today. No coverage or actual returns. They mostly worked on rush work and protection. Bradlee Van Pelt was one of the rushers playing across from the running back (I'm sure its for camp only). Lech snapped quite a few balls pretty poorly, and Todd never missed a beat. He kicks so quickly that he has time to catch the off snap, adjust and kick it. One of the snaps hit the ground but Todd just picked it up and nailed it. He kicks deep and pretty high. He was actually better than when he was just practicing on the field turf. Ernster can kick just as well, but he doesn't kick as fast. There were a couple of his punts that were almost blocked. His hang time is a shade better than Sauerbruns, but he's just not as consistant. Handling returns: Charlie Adams, Cecil Sapp, Bailey, Rod, and Darrent Williams *** Special report - Chukwurah is now wearing 54. I'm going to go buy my away Williams 55 jersey now. ![]() |

Khan you are now far and away my favorite poster here. Loving this.
Hey, I've never been a BVP supporter but it's great to hear good things. I hope he keeps making me eat my words. Glad to hear Nate Jackson is really stepping up. Maybe we had a sleeper Sharpe replacement the whole time last year and never even knew? I said "maybe"... |

NAte was always in there last year catching balls pretty well. Im not surprised that he is doing well to be honest. He gained muscle and hasnt lost any speed, so id be kinda dissapointed if he wasnt beating lb's and safeties. But im excited hes doing well, hopefully he picks up on the blocking schemes quickly and we can then run a ton of 2 TE formations with him and Jeb. |

The move of Nate to TE really sheds some light on the hesitation the FO showed when matching Jebs offer. This is something that has been in the works for a while Im guessing. Now if we could just get someone else that excells at longsnapping that isn't a total waste of a roster spot outside of that duty.

Still we brought him with a pretty good sized contract and I would think he would atleast be the better of the three at blocking. |

General observations first. I just watched Disco man preaching on Channel 2. That is the funnies thing I've ever seen.
Our pass protection was much better but our run D totally overpowered the line in the rushing attack. They were really good at clogging the line and containing the cut back. Warren was a beast in the run game. He usually holds his ground and sometimes even gets some decent push back. Mike Anderson got pancaked by him on a run left side. IF they were able to get past the line, the holes were so small that by the time they forced their way through, there was a linebacker ther to just swallow them up. A lot of tackles were DJ Williams and someone Else: Dj Williams and Al Wilson, DJ Williams and Ian Gold, DJ Williams and Lenny Walls, DJ Williams and DJ Williams. Given the small holes. Mike was the better back for much of the day. He really has that strength to grind it through and widden those holes. He pushes off and can make a little more out of not much. Tatum doesn't break tackles very well. Mike outperformed him this practice. Mike seems to just have a little better vision or maybe it just seems that way because once he makes his choice he grind well enough to get the yards and make it look like a good decission. Q and Maurice got pushed around. The D forced a fumble against Q which Ian recovered. The high amount of turnovers has me worried and excited. Backs on the blitz. I mostly saw Anderson and Johnson in the pass game and they picked up the blitz every time. When the backs stayed in and blocked our protection was much better. I actually think the pads made it easier for the O-line because it gave them more to hang onto. Carlisle is starting at RG and he looked good. I actually think Tyson Clabo is playing the best of the guys I've seen. The D bites on the playaction very seldom. Our ends are really good at playing the quarterback right on PA passes and they usually have had to dump it away. Dorsett Davis notched a pass. Al Wilson blitzed and broke through like a freight train. It was like an eight yard loss. BVP nailed Todd Devoe on a nice long pass. Trailing behind him was Karl Paymah. I didn't get to watch the Defensive backs as much because the scrimmage time was mostly used for the starters and a little the second teams. Next: Conversions, stops, and scoring drives. |
