Analysis: Fox's people skills an important factor for Broncos

[Denver Native (Carol)]

There's no evidence John Elway, in a time of need, looks to the bullpen and taps his right arm, but after the Broncos' foray into free agency, it's pretty clear that coach John Fox is quite the closer.

Players who have chosen what the Broncos have to offer have cited Fox for signing with the Broncos.

That's certainly an interesting development, when a Hall of Famer who happens to be one of the best quarterbacks to ever buckle a chin strap is currently running the Broncos' football operations.

But Fox has been a difference-maker when it comes to who has signed with the Broncos.

Although i would say there isnt any really big names that we have signed its VERY important that Fox doesnt get into pissing matches or ego trips with players. Thats one thing that McD will have to learn if he ever wants to be a HC again.

Gosh, I'm really going to miss "the player" this and "the player" that when coach is answering questions about players. :D

Hearing what Ty Warren had to say about the direction of the franchise was encouraging. This team could end up better than a lot of people think.

Well, we had some hope in early 09' but the offense was so anemic that year it was hard to get that excited. Then of course Nolan was cut loose and then all fell apart again defensively.
