Thursday night was the first chance to see Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock to show himself on the NFL field, and it didn’t go well. A few times he had deep passes that he missed, and at times he looked lost, and it seemed at times the game was too fast for him. Lock did […]

The NFL season is finally upon us after the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio between the Broncos and Falcons. It was the head coaching debut of Vic Fangio, who put together a 14-10 preseason win. A solid start for Fangio in this new chapter of his career. However, he still had many criticisms […]

In that time, he never surpassed 93 carries in a single […]

Champ Bailey had a long and very successful NFL career. The cornerback spent his first five seasons with the Washington Redskins before spending his last 10 with the Denver Broncos. Over that career, he made a lot of plays and shut a lot of opposing wide receivers down. There wasn’t a single play that made his career. […]

Royce Freeman was supposed to be the Denver Broncos’ lead back in 2018. A second-round pick with an impressive frame and body of work at Oregon, that was apparent. But, then, little known undrafted and undersized Phillip Lindsay took reigns of the position, then went to the Pro-Bowl for his efforts. Following Lindsay’s breakthrough season, […]

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock isn’t being handed anything. The Broncos took Lock in the second round back in April, but they’re making the rookie earn it. Joe Flacco seems entrenched as the starter, and Lock is in a tough battle just to become the backup. He’s battling with journeyman Kevin Hogan for the right […]

Earlier this offseason, Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio had some brutally honest criticism for rookie quarterback Drew Lock, saying that he isn’t an NFL quarterback yet. But apparently, Lock has made some progress, and Fangio defined what “progress” means to him: “Don’t make the same mistake twice,” Fangio said, per Chad Jensen of 247 […]

The Denver Broncos traded for quarterback Joe Flacco in the offseason. It wasn’t clear if they’d select another quarterback in the NFL Draft this year, in order to build for the future. However, when Drew Lock fell to the second round, they had to pounce. Now, the quarterback is opening up about the challenges of […]

Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt suffered his torn ACL last September, and as one would expect, the road back has been long and hard. Butt had planned on making if back to the field for 2019, but things have apparently not been going too well in training camp, as he has been held out […]

Less than eight months removed from the torn Achilles that he suffered toward the end of last season, Sanders seems to be making great progress in his recovery. Sanders participated during team drills at a training camp practice yesterday for the first time all offseason, according to […]

When describing Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco, the word athletic doesn’t usually come to mind. Flacco has never been a scrambler, and he made his name due to his big arm not his legs. But one of his new coaches thinks Flacco has underrated athletic ability. Recently, new Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello called Flacco […]

Even so, at least one NFL defensive coordinator […]

The Denver Broncos are waiving 26-year-old kicker Taylor Bertolet, per ESPN’s Ian Rapoport. The move will undoubtedly position five-year pro Brandon McManus as the AFC West team’s starting kicker this upcoming 2019 season. Bertolet, a 5-foot-9 placekicker, went undrafted in 2016 and signed with the Los Angeles Rams. He was subsequently waived prior to the […]

The Denver Broncos used their first-round draft pick on University of Iowa tight end Noah Fant back in April, and given the fact that the Broncos don’t have a ton of weapons in their passing game, Fant could get a whole lot of targets right off the bat. However, in spite of the expectations for […]

The NFL continues to become more and more of a pass-happy league. Therefore, getting to the quarterback is as crucial as ever. Allowing guys like Tom Brady and Drew Brees to stand in the pocket without any pressure in their face is no bueno. Getting pressure can cause a quarterback to get out of rhythm […]

The Denver Broncos are one of the first teams to begin their training camp this offseason. Newly hired offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello had some high-praise for Phillip Lindsay.

New Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco is already getting the rebranding treatment from his teammates.

Denver Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller turned 30 years old in March, meaning that the 98 sacks he has registered thus far in his career have all come before the age of 30. For context, all-time NFL sack leader Bruce Smith had tallied 92 sacks before turning 30. So, Miller is in a good place to […]

Playing music during practice has become increasingly en vogue in the NFL over the past several years. Made most popular by the Seattle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, coaches like Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs and Dan Quinn of the Atlanta Falcons, among many others, now blast music over the loud speakers at practice, too. […]

The Denver Broncos are counting on a coaching upgrade this season. Just because Broncos general manager John Elway clearly believes first-year coach is Vic Fangio is better equipped to lead his team forward than the departed Vance Joseph, though, doesn’t mean he’s comfortable publicly criticizing Denver’s former coach. “I don’t want to say anything bad […]

Those expecting Drew Lock to beat out Joe Flacco for the starting quarterback job in Denver should probably pump the brakes. Broncos head coach Vic Fangio offered a sobering description of Drew Lock on Friday, saying he is not ready to be an NFL signal-caller: “He’s not a quarterback yet,” said Fangio, according to Nicki […]
