ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- When it comes to formally speaking to the team he runs on a daily basis, Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway picks his spots.

Following Sunday’s 22-point loss against the New England Patriots and with the Broncos halfway into whatever becomes of the season, Elway decided it was one of those spots.

“We took a punch in the mouth, but we’re going to get up and keep fighting,’’ said defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, one of the team’s five captains. “And Elway came in and talked to the team and let us know how he felt about the team midway through the season. He had good things to say, he had bad things to say. Now, we just focus on getting back on track and getting a streak going.’’

I think it's great that he talked to the team, and that he does it so sparingly that it probably has real meaning to the players. I would have loved to have heard it.

If there is one man who knows what needs to be done it would be Johnny Boy.

So we know he doesn't think "everything's all good" the way some fans do.

Yes, the sparingly part is awesome. Not like Jerry Jones who probably gives a speech a day until it's meaningless

Was the last time after last seasons' Seahawks preseason game?

That was a complete joke during that Monday Nighter where he has a headset on talking to Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden, and then tells the media Romo's status.


I don't know how Jason Garrett handles it.

He walked into that meeting with his head held high. He looked at the players and said....

If you don't do your job this week, I'm kicking you in the nuts on Monday. Protect your nuts.

So in other words, in the tradition of "Hat Day" it will be "No Cup Day".
