FS Brian Dawkins Phila Eagles
Hi everyone !
AGE..... 35 6-0 210lbs YEARS IN THE NFL 13...
2008 STATS .... POSITION FREE SAFTEY
TACK 75......... FF 6....... INT 1..... SACK 3.0.....
News here in philly Dawkins will be a free agent !
What do you guys think of signing him to a one year contract to help out untill
a long term solution is reached . Think about having champ bailey and dawkins
roaming the same backfield together ! Both could mentor whoever saftey the
broncos draft untill he is ready to play . plus dawkins is a proven leader and
inspires the whole defense to play hard like Ray Lewis does for baltimore
With bailey shutting down his side of the field Dawkins will be free to roam
the middle and help out on DRE Blys side of the field The way i see it he cant
be worse than the players we are planning to field next season ! Actually he
would be a major upgrade Any thoughts ?
I dont know how to do a POLL so i will have to read and rely on all your coments

Giving great defenses a historical name
ORANGE CRUSH !.........PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS !...... STEEL CURTAIN !.......
THE NO NAME DEFENSE !.......
They were named a long long time ago ! The recent fan post about the
orange crush defense got me wondering Why didnt anybody come up with
some new names lately ? I dont think its because people lost there creative
thinking do you ? Mabey its some defenses didnt have the longevity to stay
together as a power house unit ? Dont know ? Some defenses were great
but were never named The NY Giants D that beat the broncos in the 1986 SB.
They got a SB ring but never got a name ! The 49ers .. 1980s D also got
mutiple rings .no names here either ! dallas cowboys nothing ! oakland raiders
1990s Buffalo bills SB teams washington redskins Recent history teams
Baltimore ravens superbowl winning team Tampa bays SB team were dam good
Yet they never got the notority of getting that everlasting nickname to be proud of !
The broncos are on the short list of teams to earn a name ! How did they do that ?
The ORANGE CRUSH Defense as great as they were for the short time spent
together never won a superbowl But will be revered in the minds of all fans
whenever the subject of historical defenses arises. Our broncos SB team
from the late 1990s probably can live off of the proudness of the orange crushes
achievements 20 years before them Why ? because they were so special enough
to earn the name ! So now i ask all of you whats the criteria for a great defense
to earn that aweinspiring nickname that will last throught the ages ?
Are there any teams today that you guys like that should deserve a nickname?
put it out there ! type them into the replys after reading this post have fun .
If baltimore ravens win this years SB should there Defense be named ?
I tried to think of some snappy clever names for them but seem to draw a blank
I must say its quite hard to invent something so good that it will last the test of
time ! Mabye no defenses In todays NFL deserves a name !
But i am sure pruod that we have the ORANGE CRUSH !

Side note almost forgot to mention the 1985 BEARS SB team !

Good kicking gone bad
Hi everyone
just sitting here reading posts and the bad news about peyton hillis.
everyone seems to be caught up in the hillis news and what to do
at running back now and what our playoff chances will be Etc....
But what is getting lost in all of this is the broncos might be on verge
of kicking problems . And It Is happening at the worst possible time.
Did anyone notice A kicker in A slump. ?pratter started out great but what
is wrong now .? He Is missing kicks regulary ;And the kickoffs are getting
shorter and shorter . This is the time we will need every possible points
and edge in every game here on out because the weather nationally will
be getting worse especially on the east coast ( buffalo bills) Game soon
And the real problem here is that pratter is all the broncos have .there
Is no backup to come in and save the day at this position .right ? The broncos
have to get this guy right in a hurry . Did anyone see any TV interviews talking
to pratter about his problems or confidence issues? Am i over reacting or
is this a legit problem with him ?
Any thoughts on whats happening with him ?

denvers kickers getting some pub over at the NFL network
hello everyone
I just finished up watching this weeks installment of playbook AFC on the
NFL network . The subject on the broncos tonight was the denver broncos
kicking game featureing K matt prater and P brett kern . I almost fell out of
my chair when two people who forever seemed to hate the broncos sterling
sharpe and brian baldinger were in agreement on the broncos winning the
game this week against the jags . They both raved about the special teams
edge going to the broncos because of praters long FGS and deep kickoffs
along with brett kern pinning the oppisition back deep into its own territory
and the strategy that goes into playing the field position game. To get these
guys to say something nice about the broncos is like pulling the sword from
the stone . mabey this kind of good vibes comming from former nay sayers
could keep this train rolling at full speed . Any thoughts ?
GO BRONCOS 5-1

Coach Sean Paytons Attacking Mind!!
Today I was reading stories about what some players on the broncos defense will do and what they will not do. Let me tell you I saw a short excerpt on the NFL network today that featured coach Sean payton's break down on how to attack an opposing defense . he came off very calm and knowledgeable on what schemes he would choose to employ against opposing defenses . IT included pulling guards on screen plays . tight end pick blocks on short pass plays mostly domestic coaching plays . but the way he explained on how he would have attacked A specific defense on a given situation really lays credence to his attack the defense thoroughly leave no stones unturned mentality. In the clip he showed he had a counter attack for virtually every defensive front thrown at him kind of like coach Shanahan We should be in for one hell of a shoot out again this week .
I sure to god hope not !

saints TE jeremy shockey
the broncos defense cannot let the saints beat them over the middle of the field over and over in short passes and screens like last sunday. i sure hope the broncos brain trust are game plaining for Tight end jermey shockey just as well as reggie bush. shockey is a big target with great hands, speed and toughness after the catch that can still be very dangerous to exploit a weak to a mid -Level talented defense.. any thoughts on this ?
