How to beat the Jets (one thing)
by Orange and Blue on Oct 16, 2010 11:26 AM EDT
on Mile High Report
To me, it's easy.
1st down rush defense. (When I reference 1st down plays I mean the initial play of the new set of downs NOT that the play resulted in a 1st down)
No way Orton, but what about Lloyd (+ poll)
by Orange and Blue on Oct 8, 2010 6:15 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
The thought of trading Orton at any point right now seemed ludicrous to me. He is just playing at too high of a level at the most difficult position on the football field. I don't care who sits behind him.
However, I may cause the same feeling of angst among some by suggesting a different player be promoted for trade: Brandon Lloyd. If you care to continue, please jump.
Captain Obvious 8 Game Observations - v. Colts
by Orange and Blue on Sep 25, 2010 1:12 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
In what is likely a summary of what you'll read everywhere, here are my thoughts of the top 8 key matchups/game plan strategies for Denver-Indy tomorrow.
No. 1 - RT Zane Beadles v. DE Robert Mathis
To me it's obvious with Moreno out that Orton will be the biggest key to allowing Denver score points. With 3 sacks and 1 forced fumble already, Mathis has kept doing what it takes to keep the talk up about Indy having the best DEs in the league. Zane has proven he can play in the league, but Tackle may not be his long term position. He needs to get his feet moving like the roadrunner to keep Mathis from getting the edge and at the same time have the balance to take on his bullrush. I expect Graham and Gronk to help him out.

Broncos Offensive Drives Analysis - 1st half
by Orange and Blue on Sep 12, 2010 10:22 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
I had/have a lot of thoughts about the game. One thing that amazed me was how few points we ended up with. I decided to break down each drive. Bear with me if you care to (not sure how this will paste).

Ravens trade for Sea CB...one less trade partner for Denver
If the coaches are debating between Nate Jones or Phonz as we get closer to the final cut down date, one of the biggest pursuers of a CB just dropped out for Denver to trade with.
Too bad.
Tebow Schism (not an STD, Jared) + poll
by Orange and Blue on Aug 15, 2010 11:46 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
It occurred to me there is certainly a faction of Broncos fans who are disturbed and maybe even paranoid of a rookie QB named Tim Tebow.
This will be a short observation, but I am interested as to what transpires from it in the replies below.
***Full disclosure - I am excited about what Tebow could EVENTUALLY do for this team. I AM NOT ASKING THAT HE START ANY TIME SOON.
Marshall in a Nuggets uniform? LOL
his ridiculousness knows no bounds
Sleeper effect 2010 (+ poll)
by Orange and Blue on Aug 12, 2010 11:49 AM EDT
on Mile High Report
I accidentally ran across this as I was researching a theme to my post. I get a little sidetracked but bear with me if you wish: HORN.
The International Encyclopedia of Communication describes the
“Sleeper effect” as the phenomenon in which messages from sources with originally low credibility cause opinion change over time.
Let me interrupt this now to say that I certainly fit the source label if I can change the opinions of ANY over time. More on that later. HORN.

Reason #846 I hate the MSM
Chris Mortenson has 2 potential Hall of Famers in Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins and the only thing that gets air time is our 3rd STRING QB?!!!! I like Tebow a lot, but C'MON. How about asking about the team and the new DC? Wow, talk about mailing it in, Mort. Well done you puppet.

The unbearable part of the summer has passed. In one week, the Hall of Fame game is played. FINALLY!
I narrowed my 1,000 questions to 6 and gave my predictions.

Housing, Banks & Bookies
by Orange and Blue on Jun 4, 2010 12:23 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
Housing, Banks and now bookies? Hard to figure out any differences in ethics between the three but the first two have already gone thru their collapse...next up? Bookies.
Some of the brightest football minds work for the once powerful casinos. They don't get too much acclaim but they do make millions of people re-assess their opinions of the NFL based on simple numbers. Half a point never meant so much in anything besides the Olympics and interest rates.
Ayers an All-Pro in the making? Yep.
by Orange and Blue on Jun 1, 2010 1:01 AM EDT
on Mile High Report
Ayers was dismissed by some as having a poor to mediocre rookie season. I was "surfing" thru some sites and found some interesting data that I thought might be interesting to some.
I decided to see how Ayers actually played last year in terms of relevant stats for an LOLB and compare him to others who play that position for a team who play the 3-4 defense.

Stokely out of passing camp with shoulder injury
This makes 3 WRs who aren't participating in the onfield reps during the passing camp. On the other hand, Stokley is a proven player who can benefit from rest probably more than he can from these early reps, and in the meantime players like Brandon Lloyd have gotten an opportunity to really stand out with extra time on the field.
There is no word as to how serious Stokley's shoulder injury is.
"...Nate Jones (who saw some first-team nickel work Thursday)."
maxdenver.com - excerpt from today's OTAs
Alphonso Smith remained on the first team in its nickel package. "He’s grown a lot; he had some bumps along the way but we all do," fellow cornerback Champ Bailey said. "He’s stepped it up quite a bit."

King for a Day (Game)

I was having a conversation with a buddy about the degree of "fun" one would have being an NFL owner. Sure you can assume you have all the luxury items you ever wanted (McMansion next to your ex-coach or whatever). But say you are the lone owner of your beloved team. Is that fun or not?

Avoiding Death by a Thousand Cuts... one less will save my butt.
by Orange and Blue on May 18, 2010 6:49 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
"Death by a thousand Cuts" is a phrase started by a Chinese form of execution that started around 1200 years ago. It's not for the faint the heart to have witnessed this kind of public punishment as pieces were cut from the condemned person. Yikes. It was also meant for public humliation, but really, who was going to be embarassed about this rather than petrified.
Why do I bring this up? Metaphorically, I have been subjected to something similar.
Make sure your goggles are on and you're strapped tight...let's jump.

Making Cents ($) of our CB position (the Bailey Dilemma) + poll
by Orange and Blue on May 10, 2010 6:56 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
With plenty of talk about Orton and his one yr remaining and Doom’s payday ahead (by us or others), one player that will garner a salary equal to or greater than either is likely to be Champ. So where do we stand now? And what is the short and long term plan for the CB position?

Great Expectations: Thomas & Decker & the passing game
by Orange and Blue on May 8, 2010 3:24 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
Now that a new #15 has replaced the old one and a bulk of the future WR stats have moved to Miami, I turned my attention to the new "young guns" which we have re-loaded in the offense.
We have gotten great info on our #1 draft pick Demaryius Thomas in the recent post by ejruiz Let Me Introduce: Demaryius Thomas. We have also been given various breakdowns from different sources about the already-fan-favorite Eric Decker. These two WRs have already provided the hope for the future of our receiving offense...and maybe our present.
I decided to see how the 2008 and 2009 WRs drafted in the 1st three rounds have fared and how their production might shed some light as to what we can expect from our rookie WRs.

"Running on Empty" - a 2009 analysis of the run game (what's that smell?)
by Orange and Blue on May 4, 2010 4:20 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
There has been recent discussion and posts regarding the state of Denver's running game last year and found out that my perceived notion that we were lacking in 3rd and short conversions was not too accurate. BShrout wrote a post about this myth (or more accurately, not as huge of a problem as I thought).
I decided to spend some time analyzing the running game from last year. Jump with me, won't you?

Addressing problems are what you are supposed to do as an NFL coach. That's exactly what McD has done.

Wow. You can scream and yell about what happened, but nobody had more going on than the Broncos tonight. Incredible. Exhausting and exciting. Let's see what took place:
