I saw that one....wouldn't mind Rod being around more often either. I am also wondering what they are doing with Keith Burns.

Make him ST's coach. I would be so down with that.

I haven't heard enough about his effect on players to know if he is ready for the head ST coach position. I hope he is still involved in some way.

Getting a special teams coach is key here.......

Next year we will need every yard we can gain..... Bring in someone with exp... not a rookie

No that tweet is Rod Smith congratulating John on his position with the Broncos. Rod doesn't have an official position with the Broncos.

[dogfish]

and John telling Rod to not be a stranger "we need guys like you around here"

[Denver Native (Carol)]

On the Broncos' site, the only thing listed for special teams is special teams coordinator - have no idea if that is it, as far as the special teams.

Yay! I really like Burns. I'm glad he gets to stick around.

is he your coaching equivalent of mike leach?

Yes. Is that a problem? *cracks knuckles*

[dogfish]

no. . . why would it be?


i do find it a little amusing that the special teams is what gets you moist. . .

Has everything to do with appreciating those who normally fly under the radar unless something goes wrong. I loved Burns as a player and was tickled that he stayed as a coach. To be honest, I've got very little knowledge to say whether he's a good coach or not, since he's so far down the totem pole, but I still like to support him.

Rod Mackey ch9 sports, just showed a clip with John talking about why he is now on Twitter, and John stated that he wanted to get things out the way they really are, so they are not interpreted any other way.

Haven't they already visited with Dareus once or twice?

Not sure if they have brought him in, or just went to his pro day workout.

[TXBRONC]

I remember hearing that Dareus was coming in but was several weeks back. It really doesn't matter as long Elway and co. do their homework on this prospects.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

I thought the exchange between Elway/Decker was cute, but it also shows that John has more than a boss-player relationship with the guys.

Excited for Thursday's game in Arizona. It's time for our younger players to make hay! #Broncos

I saw Deckers tweet about taking his rather gorgeous girlfriend, Jessie James, to Elways and wondering if there was a discount, but had missed John's reply. I like it.

Yeah, wait until a player asks him is there is a discount at his auto dealerships, which have started up again :D

I think I will send that suggestion to Decker.

[Tned]

I sent them both this. Hope he doesn't mind being called E. D., but the 140 characters makes it tough.


RT @BroncosForums: ED, time to ask the boss about a nice car discount RT @johnelway Eric I got you next time! “@E_Decker: gotta be player discount at Elway's?”

And she can cook. When he doing a interview on the The Fan they asked him what he was eating and he said that his girlfriend was in town and had baked him a cake and it was really good.

Well, pretty good indication Eric Decker is going to be a HOF receiver, since he can make a catch like this:
