Here is his blog this week:
-----
It’s great to be done with training camp and get into our regular season
schedule. You’ve got more down time to get your body healed back up.
You can eat more and get your weight back to where you want it — get
your body right. It’s a great because the real deal is about to start, and
that’s what it’s all about. I got through camp healthy, so I thank God about
that.
It’s all progressed great. You’ve got guys, your teammates, that you go
through blood and sweat with in the offseason. I’ve seen the committment
that most people don’t see. You’re out there everyday in the offseason,
working out. Now when you go out there in the game and see guys
producing, it’s a good feeling. We’re excited. The coaches are excited.
We’re happy with our packages and our scheme. I think the personnel is
right where it should be. We’ve still got competition going. It’s a great deal,
and I’m excited about that.
I’m approaching this game against the Packers like it’s a regular season
game because next week in that last game, we, the starters, won’t really
dress for it. This is my last deal, as far as the preseason, to tune
everything up. I’m going out there to give it all I’ve got.
And now on to some of your questions since I couldn’t last week.
West Coast (http://blog.denverbroncos.com/dumervil/2008/08/13/taking-on-the-cowboys/#comment-124): I’m more excited this year because we’ve got a couple of
guys now that have all played together, so we have that experience. The
second-year guys have had another year to get better and develop. This
scheme is all about stopping the run. You know I’m a guy who loves to rush
the passer, but if you can’t stop the run, you never get a chance to rush
the quarterback. Coaches always say you’ve got to earn the right to rush
the passer. I think as far as this year we’ll get more pass rush opportunities
because we’re going to stop the run.
To everyone who wanted me to get a sack against the Cowboys: With
that sack, it was great coverage by our guys first and foremost. The
quarterback was standing back there for a while because of that. I kind of
got off around the corner and just kept pushing. The quarterback had a
couple resets, and I was able to get to him. That was a great deal. It felt
good.

I’d love to look up and see a bunch of #92s in the stands. Most of the
time, the D-line doesn’t get any love, as far as jersey sales. That’s a good
deal. I’ll definitely play my part and make you proud to wear the jersey
To the several people who asked about how Clady has looked: He’s great.
For years to come, he’s going to be one of those left tackles that
continues to get in the Pro Bowl. I have a lot of expectations for him. He
came in, and I think he handled the situation very well, to come in as a
starter. He’s poised. He doesn’t get rattled. He’s coachable. He’s athletic.
He has a lot of upside. I expect him to be great for years to come.

over, but you just don’t see them happen here. First, the guys here, we’re
tight as friends. We’re more than just teammates. We’re a brotherhood.
Guys are really close off the field. At the same time, you can get hot in
situations. Competitions arise and in the heat of the moment, things can
get crazy. But it starts with our Head Coach. Shanahan has zero tolerance
for that. Guys know they have to conduct themselves well. This is a first
class organization, and I think that carries out onto the field. It’s a
mindset. You have to be prepared, and Shanahan always prepares us for
those types of situations.
See you next week
