Broncos @ Seahawks Game day thread 8/22

[TXBRONC]

Yes I know it's early but around here "The early bird gets the worm." I've always loved starting these threads. So I hope people wont be to upset if we start a little early. Anyway, as always my hope is that Denver can get through the game unscathed and I hope we see improvement in all areas especially at quarterback.

I could I get a sticky please.

[EastCoastBronco]

Speaking of early, It's too bad that the game doesn't start a little earlier. Out here on the East Coast of Canada it doesn't start until 11:30pm. Gonna be a late night...

I'm in the Central time zone is not a real early start for us either. We have a 9:30 pm start time and since I'll have to be about 5:30 am on Saturday that makes it kind of late for me.

Fall is the best time of the year. Sports time babay.

I'm too old for preseason,can't stay awake till 3.30 a.m kick off anymore! Now if it were only a few hours later, I could watch it over breakfast. Roll on the regular season and relatively sensible start times.

Go Broncos. Kick some ass.

[gnomeflinger]

Hehehe. Go Denver!

I'm curious to see LaKevin in action also going to be focused on Fields/Baker and Davis/DJ/Larsen/Woodyard.

That's why we have so much "East Coast Bias" out here in the AFC West !

Same thing with the Pac-10. No respect from Bristol.

I hope to see something positive at Seattle tomorrow night.
WAY too much drama for me this off-season.

I would love to see this Brandon thing ironed out, it's needless disruption. Time for the Broncos to concentrate on FOOTBALL !

GO BRONCOS !!!

MIght as well get this started even though it is tomorrow..

Lets get a Coser Look:

By Gray Caldwell
DenverBroncos.com

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Broncos take a big step toward the regular season this week.

The team closed out training camp on Thursday, and the start of the preseason is already out of the way -- the first chance to get the offense and defense together on the field, with maybe a few jitters along the way.

Check those off the to-do list.

Now, the club is onto its next challenge -- continue to grow as the preseason rolls on.

"Second preseason games are to limit the mistakes you made in the first game, maybe add a few things as far as offensively and defensively and see if we can now go out there and execute those new things," Chris Simms said. "Just continue to build week by week."

Preseason games are more for the team to work out its own kinks and show it can execute in all three phases of the game. But there is still focus paid to the opposing team, because as Brandon Stokley put it, "Every time you step on the field you want to win."

After spending the week taking a look at what the Seahawks have to offer, the Broncos realized it's a team that brings plenty of talent on both sides of the ball.

Kenny Peterson spoke about the team's zone blocking rushing attack, featuring the two-headed tandem of Julius Jones and bruising goal-line back T.J. Duckett. But that's not even the scariest part of their attack -- with the return of a healthy Matt Hasselbeck, it might be the passing game that poses the biggest threat.

"They've got weapons," Peterson said. "T.J. Houshmandzadeh, that dude's a beast. And up front, they are not the biggest line but they are very athletic."

Nate Burleson and Deion Branch are two more receivers that give them a talented group that can stretch the field.

On the other hand, the Seahawks defense ranked near the bottom of the league in 2008, but it's a unit that still presents plenty of talent and challenges. It has also been retooled this offseason with the return of cornerback Ken Lucas, who began his career in Seattle, and the acquisition of defensive end Cory Redding. To get Redding, the team gave up a linebacker in Julian Peterson, but added another in the form of Aaron Curry, the No. 4 overall selection in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Curry's addition next to Pro Bowler Lofa Tatupu at middle linebacker and Leroy Hill at the other outside linebacker spot gives Seattle "probably the best linebacking corps in the league," according to Stokley.

"They like to bring a lot of pressure, they're fast and they cause a lot of turnovers," he elaborated. "So it will be a good matchup for us."

But it's not just the three linebackers that provide a threat on the defensive side of the ball. Simms said he's very familiar with the rushers on the edge of the Seattle defensive line, and they make the unit a dangerous one.

"They kind of get overlooked up front, but I know a lot about Cory Redding, who they got there, he's a defensive end -- I played with him at Texas -- and then they've got Patrick Kerney," Simms said. "Those are two fierce competitors, and as a quarterback you've got to look out of the corner of your eye every now and then."

Regardless of what the other team brings to the field, however, the Broncos are focused on improving their team before September 13, when the games start to count.

While the first preseason game was a loss, players said all week long that it was a positive first showing, and Brian Dawkins said he "saw the things that we've worked on work."

So the goal, as Simms said, is to continue to build from week to week in the preseason, and Daniel Graham is confident the team will do just that when it steps on the field on Saturday.

"We just have to go out and play our game -- be relaxed, be comfortable," Graham said. "We've got the game plan this week, we feel real good about it, and if we go out there and eliminate the mistakes, we have a good chance of coming out with the win."

The article about McDaniels and winning once again reinforces that he thinks he can win immediately. He basically said he has never been on a team that has even been .500 and doesn't plan on starting now.

Hope that drive and confidence shows results right away.

Oh well, I won't be able to watch the game but if Seattle wins I'm sure my father in law will let me know even though it's only preseason.....LSU vs Wash Huskies on Sept 3. Go BRONCOS and Tigers!!

With Moreno out, do you think Hillis is going to see many carries with the first team, or still be a first team FB and 2nd/3rd team RB?

What about Orton. Do you think the INTs were an anomoly?

Can the defense get pressure without giving up the big runs and passes like they did last week?

[BroncoTech]

I think today's game raises more questions than it will answer. Questions like:

What the hell is Orton doing out there?
Is our D-line really made of Swiss Cheese?
Is Simms really this good?
Do we need another running back injury?
Can Marshall save us now?

[Tned]

I think today's game raises more questions than it will answer. Questions like:

Well, Schlereth said they were garbage (front seven, actually). Although, that was before the first preseason game. I haven't heard if he changed his opinion.

[broncophan]

Enjoy the game tonight everyone!!!
Have to work 3rd shift here...:mad:.......so will have to dvr it.

GO BRONCOS!!!

[spikerman]

I must have missed something in that SF game. I really didn't think that the Broncos' defense was appreciatively better than last year. I know it's only preseason and the sacks were great, but if initial impressions are to be believed the defense looks too much like last year. Too many long runs, too many long 3rd down conversions, too many guys running free in the secondary, and no turnovers.

I'm really curious to see if the defense can improve on those areas tonight. Seattle will be a better test for them.

[Tned]

Stink's garbage comment aside, I think the front seven is the key to our season. Assuming, Orton or Simms can be servicable at QB, the key is going to be to get a middle of the pack defense, and that is going to require the front seven playing well.

Can Fields or Baker anchor the line at the nose?

Can Dumervil, Crowder, Reid or others being consistant playmakers at OLB? Can they produce not only when rushing the passer, but also when they drop into coverage?

How long will it take for Ayers to be an every down force at OLB?

No, I don't think you missed anything. They were able to get more pressure than in the past (although we don't know if that was due to playing SF), but they were still giving up the big runs and throws. They gave up a couple long passes to Vernon Davis, and gave up some runs.

That's why I say one of the questions for tonights game is whether the defense can get pressure on the QB, while not giving up the big play?

[TXBRONC]

With Moreno out, do you think Hillis is going to see many carries with the first team, or still be a first team FB and 2nd/3rd team RB?

What about Orton. Do you think the INTs were an anomoly?

My guess is that he probably see more time as a running back.

As for your other two questions I don't know what to say other than we'll have to watch the game to find out.

[Krugan]

Is the game going to be broadcast on the denver stations, like it did for years?

I was out of town last week and caught it on NFLN, but have since cancelled that subscription on my home TV.

[Tned]

I believe it will be on CBS 4 in Denver.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

I'm really surprised that they don't play Baker at the 5. Hopefully we'll see that tonight.

[Northman]

I just hope Orton doesnt throw 3 picks. That would be a good start tonight.

wow.. in pre-season game two, thats pretty rare. Although, we only have one more game considering its rare that the starters get much playing time in pre-season game 4. So, thats something to watch... it would certainly say something as to how the staff feels our progression is going in practice.

(that, or he doesn't want to put Simms back on the field, thus eliminating any QB controversy!) :lol:

The reason they said that McD said that the starters could play the whole game is because everything is so new to all of the players.

McDaniels said the week prior to game 1, that the Broncos would treat the preseason games different than probably every other team in the league. New coaches, new schemes and a LOT of new players, and they need to use these games to get on the same page.

While I haven't agreed with everything he has done, I am convinced that he is convinced he can win this year, and he is going to do whatever he can to try and make that happen.

[Ravage!!!]

well.. considering there are teams all over the NFL, every year, that have new systems .. thus everything being 'new' to them.. and yet we don't see them keeping their starters in for the entire game in pre-season #2, I don't think its much speculation to draw the concusiion that if it happens, it may be because the coaches don't like what they have seen in practice (and it may be the reason they don't like what they see, or where we are at, is because everything is new).

Its all related.

He may very well. I still contend that his system isn't harder to learn than Haley's, or Shanahan's.. or even the Patriots of seasons past.. yet they all take care of their players in pre-season. To start them all in pre-season game #2 for the entire game may very well show that lack of experience. Belicheck has been around a LONG time, and he doesn't do this (and considered teh best coach in the NFL).

So I would have to believe it would have to do directly on how they feel things are going at practice.

(and I also believe that if we didn't have a single pre-season game, our team ((and EVERY NFL team)) would still perform the same way and cut the same players as they do WITH the pre-season games. I think the pre-season games are purely for the fans, and for the owners to get two games of stadium income without having to pay the players)

There are few teams that have had this amount of coaching turnover, along with this amount of player turnover. Half of our starters are new, including 8 or 9 on defense.

You might want to conclude it's based on how practice has gone, but he was pretty clear that this was the approach he was taking.

Whether it will turn out to be a smart approach will take hindsight before we can judge it.

Either that or he wants the players to think they will play the entire game so they can prepare like it is a real game.

I would assume if the starters play pretty well they will be done at halftime.

OK do we really have to watch washington kneel on the ******* ball three times???????????

[honz]

Is that Kyle Orton or Michael Vick?

[Tned]

3rd and in shotgun, quick screen to royal and he explodes for a first down and then plenty more. 20-30 yards.

[LRtagger]

Royal is a ******* BEASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Marshall who?

[honz]

OMG Orton sucks.

[honz]

Royal is a ******* BEASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Marshall who?

Brandon. It's Brandon Marshall.

[Tned]

Well, Orton showed his arm on that play action, but he threw it 10 yards past the receiver.

What I heard in camp reports, they said low lazer over throws, or high floaters.

Screen to buckhalter, a couple short of first.

[honz]

Lofa looked like Nate Webster there.

[Banedon]

These screen plays should help boost Orton's passing numbers. :cool:

[LRtagger]

good job by Bucky

[honz]

Tremendous playcalling. Orton executing well. Nothing flashy, but effective.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

OMG Orton sucks.

:confused: :confused: :confused: Not sure what he's done wrong so far

[Banedon]

:confused: :confused: :confused: Not sure what he's done wrong so far

Pretty sure he was talking about the overthrow.

[Tned]

Buckhalter with a dancing first down.

[LRtagger]

This offense sucks guy

[honz]

:confused: :confused: :confused: Not sure what he's done wrong so far
Just being sarcastic. I'm actually an Orton supporter.

[honz]

OMG that was dangerous. Turrible pass.

[LRtagger]

oh shit i thought that was picked hahahaa

[honz]

Orton!!!

[sneakers]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!

[Denver Native (Carol)]

:salute::salute:TOUCHDOWN BRONCOS :salute::salute:

[LRtagger]

yeaaa boyeeeeee

[sneakers]

It stinks listening to a stream that has Seabag homer commentators!!!!

[Banedon]

I miss the neckbeard.

[Timmy!]

That was a pretty good looking drive.

Wait...this is the Broncos Talk forum.

*insert anti McDaniels/Orton comment here*

[claymore]

Lucky he didnt get an INT. Hopefully Orton got a little confidence there.

[Nomad]

Sure hands Stokley! Where's moreno??

Defense looked like they left off from last year:tsk:

[LRtagger]

Well, Orton showed his arm on that play action, but he threw it 10 yards past the receiver.

What I heard in camp reports, they said low lazer over throws, or high floaters.

Screen to buckhalter, a couple short of first.

I thought he was throwing it away. Gaff was covered well and Orton was about to get sacked so he threw it away.

[BroncoAV06]

Nice strike to the corner by Orton, threw it as Stoke was getting out of the break, good timing.

[sneakers]

I miss the neckbeard.

That thing was so ugly!

[LRtagger]

So if Orton and the offense play well are all the threads next week going to be doom and gloom on the defense? :lol:

[BroncoAV06]

Sure hands Stokley! Where's moreno??

Defense looked like they left off from last year:tsk:

Moreno out with MCL sprain.

[LRtagger]

Orton 6 for 8 for 63 yards on that drive.

[broken12]

good drive lucky he has best o line in nfl wich will help..lucky wasnt a pick six good thing sheffler gought back fo the balll

[sneakers]

That was a pretty good looking drive.

Wait...this is the Broncos Talk forum.

*insert anti McDaniels/Orton comment here*

Just wait, Chris Simms will probably throw for 4 touchdowns.

:lol:

[Timmy!]

Nice.

[Tned]

So if Orton and the offense play well are all the threads next week going to be doom and gloom on the defense? :lol:

What do you think? :lol:

[LRtagger]

good pressure by the line

[honz]

Good job secondary.

[LRtagger]

sack baby

[BroncoAV06]

I loves sacks, even in pre-season.

[sneakers]

Moreno out with MCL sprain.

I sprained my MCL in high school, but I couldn't tell you how it felt because I tore my ACL at the same time.

[Watchthemiddle]

Pretty sure he was talking about the overthrow.

Hey, atleast he over threw him.

[Tned]

Ortin in Shotgun, and a first down to Jordan.

[LRtagger]

good drive lucky he has best o line in nfl wich will help..lucky wasnt a pick six good thing sheffler gought back fo the balll

Oh god I can already hear it...

"Orton only played good because he has a good offensive line and lots of weapons to throw to"

[Tned]

Hillis breaks free for a long run, but looks like holding.

[honz]

Clady sucks...past his prime.

[LRtagger]

Hillis is a beast even with the holding call

[Tned]

Shotgun with two backs and a draw to buckhalter for a couple, but it's gonna be 2nd and 20 or so.

[LRtagger]

well that killed the drive

[Tned]

Nice run by Graham on the screen. Picked up 15 or so.

[honz]

LOL. Sweet playcall. ALready liking McDaniels' play calling prowess.

[sneakers]

Daniel Grahm looks like he is 11'5", 650 Ilbs.

[Tned]

They like their screens. Punt time.

[honz]

Just as I say that...a call that I was not fond of.

[Tned]

Oops, FG I should say. 53 yarder is good.

[honz]

Prater > Elam

[sneakers]

Wow!!

[Watchthemiddle]

nice kick

[Tned]

They can't keep going back to the well on those screen passes.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Nice FG :salute:

[Timmy!]

53 yarder. Still got points after a 15 yard penalty.

[Tned]

Prater > Elam

Yes, now when Elam is like 40, but not in his prime.

[Overtime]

not too shabby. orton looking much improved so far.

helluva an arc on that field goal...nice job.

[BroncoAV06]

Oh dish network here at work just blacked out the game. Well that sucks, what the heck else am I supposed to do at work?

[sneakers]

Prater > Elam

I would say that Prater is a better kicker, but Elam would be much more consistant.

[LRtagger]

They can't keep going back to the well on those screen passes.

You haven't watched too many NE games have you? :D

[drewloc]

Prater's kick looked good, hopefully he can keep some consistancy throughout the year. I agree with you Tned, they need to watch going to that screen to often.

[Watchthemiddle]

They can't keep going back to the well on those screen passes.

Setting up for something down the road

[Timmy!]

Short of the 20.

Again.

Sure is nice to see our kickoff coverage teams not totally suck.

[Tned]

Nice tackle by Woodyard on the kickoff.

[LRtagger]

Woodyard laying the wood just like last year

[guitarj]

Kickoff coverage is looking great

[Overtime]

nice open field tackle after the pass from hasselbeck.

[drewloc]

Special teams is showing good improvement so far this year. Definitely happy with that.

[claymore]

Setting up for something down the road

Like some QB confidence?

[sneakers]

Do we still have those linebackers that celebrate after a 5 yard tackle?

[LRtagger]

lets go another 3 and out

[LRtagger]

the hoodie is out in full force tonight

[Tned]

How come Josh isn't going with his own style, rather than the Belicheck hoodie?

[Overtime]

false start by the Chickenhawks.

[LRtagger]

i love all the presnap disguises on D...just caused a false start

[claymore]

Ayers was lost but recovered nicely.

[LRtagger]

ok the third round rookie is killing us WTF

[BroncoAV06]

How come Josh isn't going with his own style, rather than the Belicheck hoodie?

There is no such thing as an individual. Its not team like.

[Overtime]

roflmao at the Brett Favre Sears commercial. that's hilarious.

[Watchthemiddle]

How come Josh isn't going with his own style, rather than the Belicheck hoodie?

He is a Beli clone. If it brings us multiple super bowls in consecutive years then he can wear them all he wants.

[sneakers]

That Brett Favre Sears commercial is funny.



BTW, people are going absolutely crazy here in Wisconsin.

[Overtime]

damn almost picked.

[LRtagger]

you gotta pick that son

[Overtime]

why is #57 covering a damn wideout???? where is the corner at?

[LRtagger]

well 3rd and 2 and we are still 8 yards off the LOS with the corners

[Overtime]

i dunno why he let that punt bounce, stupid decision. now we gotta go 95 yards.

[sneakers]

I do not want to go into work tonight!

[LRtagger]

sweet another long drive to pad ortons stats

[claymore]

Bad field position but I want to see Orton drive the length of the field.

[Watchthemiddle]

i dunno why he let that punt bounce, stupid decision. now we gotta go 95 yards.

Rookie mistake

[Tned]

well 3rd and 2 and we are still 8 yards off the LOS with the corners

Guess Slowik had a better scheme than we thought!!! :lol:

[Nomad]

Bad field position but I want to see Orton drive the length of the field.

It'll be a test!!

[LRtagger]

Guess Slowik had a better scheme than we thought!!! :lol:

yea you could see hasselback see it and audible, but luckily there was miscommunication between him and the wr...would have been an easy first down

[honz]

Not sure if Smith is a natural returner...

[Tned]

Bad field position but I want to see Orton drive the length of the field.

Yea, muddy field, Schottenheimer on the sideline, 96 yard drive....

Errr, wrong game, wrong decade.

[Overtime]

hillis going nowhere.

[honz]

Hillis whiffs on the stiff arm! :lol:

[claymore]

Yea, muddy field, Schottenheimer on the sideline, 96 yard drive....

Errr, wrong game, wrong decade.

Wrong Century! :laugh:

[Tned]

Play didn't go anywhere, but he has surprisingly good speed for a 250 pound back.

[Overtime]

high pass, but snagged by Gaffney for 7 yard pu. 3rd and 3.

[claymore]

Nice,

[LRtagger]

damn

[Tned]

Bad pass by Orton, and now a punt.

[Overtime]

we has Chad Johnson??? wtf?

or did he mean Chad Jackson?

pass low and behind the receiver, time to punt.

[Tned]

It hit the scoreboard....

Errr, wrong game, that was last night. :lol:

[honz]

Not sure if that was Orton or Jackson's fault. Jackson looked like he sorta half assed that comeback route.

[sneakers]

Car commercials throughout history have been the least funny.

[Overtime]

if i see that damn Golden Corral commercial again, I'm gonna scream.

[Banedon]

Car commercials throughout history have been the least funny.

Olive Garden.

[Tempus Fugit]

if i see that damn Golden Corral commercial again, I'm gonna scream.

No problem

[Nomad]

Orton didn't take us anywhere! Pardon my ignorance and lack of memory, did we play the Seahawks last year and lose??

[claymore]

Yessssssss!

[Overtime]

sack!!!!!!!!

[LRtagger]

yeaaaa sackkkkkk

[sneakers]

Defensive line pressure.....I will have to get used to this

[Broncogator]

Hasselback on his back..good times!

[Timmy!]

Oh look. We don't totally suck. We might actually win a couple games this year.

1/2 the board just peed themselves.

[claymore]

Has to be rewarding to a CB to look back and see a coverage sack!

[sneakers]

Olive Garden.

Olive garden commericals are really really cheezy.

[sneakers]

Gotta go to work.....

[honz]

RT @Bill_Devaroe LaKevin Smith is locking grate in his Bronco debuut. Sources say he may be destind for grateness in teh Orange and Blue!!!

[Tempus Fugit]

Hasselback on his back..good times!

This comment is made more interesting when one glances at your avatar.

[Overtime]

Hasselback on his back..good times!

pretty comparable to a Seattle Streetwalker.

:beer:

[Tned]

Orton had a 131.8 rating in the first quarter.

[claymore]

Oh look. We don't totally suck. We might actually win a couple games this year.

1/2 the board just peed themselves.

Pre Season doesnt count. :nervous:

[drewloc]

At least our defense is showing some fire. We aren't used to sacks, good job D!

[claymore]

6 sacks in 6 qts of foot ball. Not bad.

[LRtagger]

ok if we dont score lets at least turn the field ove rplease

[Overtime]

was that Cutler wearing Orton's jersey? god damn that was a bullet.

[LRtagger]

look at that noodle arm

[honz]

OMG...Orton has a noodle arm.

[Overtime]

damn, and another rocket. where did this arm come from?

[LRtagger]

the noodle is on fire

[Broncogator]

Kyle looks good..I'm scared..hold me Clay

[claymore]

the noodle is on fire

We need to start calling him Norton.

[LRtagger]

good TO call who called it?

[claymore]

Kyle looks good..I'm scared..hold me Clay

Im going to continue to bash him. It seems to work. **** you Norton!!

[Tned]

Would it be Karmic irony if Simms led us to a SB win?

[LRtagger]

this offense owns

[Overtime]

nice screen for a first down!!!

offense actually lookin' healthy.

[LRtagger]

1st down

I dont know why, but that statement makes me want to vomit.

[Overtime]

Would it be Karmic irony if Simms led us to a SB win?

explain yourself, because I'm not following your thought process here.

[drewloc]

Offense is moving the ball, so far so good.

[Broncogator]

Kyle..take a lap.

[Tned]

If they thought it was a bad spot, why not challenge rather than call TO?

[Timmy!]

nice screen for a first down!!!

Without Moreno or Marshall.
