Grew up in Ontario, Canada. Now living in Nova Scotia. I've been a Bronco fan since 1999 which is when I first started watching football. I grew up playing Rugby and Lacrosse so I enjoy the physical nature of Football. Graduated from University at the end of '08 and I'm working towards getting an Accounting Designation. My Dream would be to go on Vacation in the fall when I have the $$$ and sit in the stands to watch my favourite team play.

a fan of

Denver Broncos National Football League Team

Auburn Tigers NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Toronto Rock (Lacrosse) Other Team(s)

Philadelphia Flyers National Hockey League Team

I don`t want to hate on the guy because in the past he has been a great Bronco but last night was pretty embrassing for him.

Orton's Interceptions

Everyone is going to be down on this guy for throwing so many interceptions in the first half of the game and it is unfortunate because it overshadows some of the good stuff he did. The one thing I notice about professional football above other sports it that is a game of momentum. Sides seem to play off the changes in momentum. A bad/good play here can feed the rest of the team or suck the wind from their sails. Even with Orton's Intereceptions the team seemed to try and keep the momentum up and Hillis on his own is a momentum changer. Give that guy the ball and the whole team perception changes. Now a look at the three interceptions.

Is it just me or is it when Josh McDaniels has a Q&A session with the media (that I've been watching on denverbroncos.com) Jeff Legwold is always standing behind or just off camera Josh. I've always heard and read good things about him but what's the deal with being McDaniels shadow ???

Unsigned Players


It's 11pm where I live and I'll soon be going to bed. When I wake up tomorrow it will be the start of the Denver Broncos 2009 season and with all the changes that have happened since Chrismas this will be the most anticipated season I have witnessed as a Bronco fan (since 1999). As I was writing this I just realised that I will have been a Bronco fan for a full Decade how crazy. What I would like to know is what will it mean if one of the current rookies hasn't signed their deal as of the start of training camp, Monday morning?

How much cap room does Denver currently have? It been hard to track with all the signing and totals you hear about based off lump sums. With Veteran player still waiting to get paid and Rookie signing I sure everyone at MHR would want to know.

Fullback: Half Empty of Half Full?

So I was watching Spencer Larsen Interview on the Denver Bronco website and I realise that we don't really have a true Fullback like most NFL teams would have. We have a lot of players that can play Fullback and switch into this role along with other duties but we have no true West Coast or Smash Mouth Fullback.

Belichick Coaching Notes

Was bored at work and scrolling through NYC's daily update thought this was some great information and you can really see where McDaniels gets some of his core idea's from. Comes from the Mike Lombardi part at the bottom of NYC's list. ALWAYS START WITH SPECIAL TEAMS.

My two favourite sayings have always been:

Born to lose; Live to win.

Adapt or Die!

BILL BELICHICK NOTES

  • Get people in your program that you can trust.  Have a strong core.
  • Coach the team every week.

§  15-30 minutes every day talking about and showing the team what we are going to do to be successful.

  • There is no I in Team. There is an I in WIN. It is about individual performance. Everyone do your job.
  • Always start with special teams.

§  Ball handling.

§  No penalties.

  • Uses plays to show his players – your team, other teams.

§  Discipline and judgment.

§  Need to know right and wrong plays.

  • Expect and Demand.
  • How to stop players, plays, critical plays. What are we going to do? How are we going to defend it?
  • Is everyone trying to do what we ask them to do?
  • Emphasizing Fundamentals:
  •   WR Coach tells the players two things each week:

                                    1. Get open.

                                    2. Catch the ball.

  • The Patriots do not beat themselves.
  • Your team has to be adaptable.  Every team you play is different.
  • When putting in a play he asks these two questions:

            1. What is the upside on this play?

            2. Why are we running it?
