Kubiak: Bruton Jr fractured his fibula on play 15 or 16 of the game. He’s going to miss some time. “Amazing what he did. He’s a warrior."

[Dzone]

Ohhh crap! Looks like We are down to Keo and Bush
PS-Bruton goes down as one of the all time toughest broncos

Yikes...

Kubiak just said that he thinks Darrian Stewart may be ready for this week. He dressed for Pittsburgh but was scratched last minute.

ugh

Bruton is one guy we can always count on to play tough and to the absolute limit of his ability. Guy is a warrior

Bruton reminds me a lot of Keith Burns. Not the most talented player on the roster but comes to play 100% every game.

[Valar Morghulis]

to the absolute limit of his ability.

That's all I want. That's why when that kunt with a capital C, Vernon Davis, with arms like Vernon troyer drops it I get so mad. Dude had the ability but no heart.

[Krugan]

Hoping he gets resigned, isnt he on the free agent list this year?

[aberdien]

Gives his best on the field AND off the field. Total badass and great role model.

[EastCoastBronco]

He also played after that goddamn cheap shot from that O-Lineman.
Can you imagine if ALL of our guys played like Bruton, Jackson, Wolfe, Miller and Sanders?

:championship:

We'll get there.

[DenBronx]

77 plays on a broken leg. That's amazing! Bruton is our special teams ace, a leader and probably the leagues best backup. Really, he could be a starter somewhere. We will be lucky to resign him.

[chazoe60]

Bruton is probably my favorite current Bronco. Love that guy.

[DenBronx]

Josh McDaniels drafted him. Lol


But I believe I had him in my mock draft that offseason. Take that Northman!!!

[tripp]

Tough S.O.B,

good news is Darian Stewart is back.

Broncos announce David Bruton (leg) has been placed on IR and safety Shaun Prater has been signed to replace him.

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 2m2 minutes ago

Bruton said he was hopeful he could return in 4 weeks, but that would been a bit difficult with fractured leg and Broncos need roster spot.

[SR]

I hope this Prater kid has a good leg. Big shoes to fill.

Wallace will not be suspended for hit on Bruton

The inconsistent NFL.

Wallace will not be suspended for hit on Bruton

That's bullshit. It was textbook helmet to helmet and after a play. Player safety, am I right?

Can't take the NFL's desire to limit helmet-to-helmet collisions & provide severe punishment seriously ever again.

That's a joke.

Jeff Legwold ‏@Jeff_Legwold 9m9 minutes ago

I have no doubt if Cody Wallace was a defensive player and hit a receiver like he hit David Bruton Jr, he would have quickly been suspended.

Jeff Legwold ‏@Jeff_Legwold 8m8 minutes ago

On Wallace's hit on Bruton, Wallace left his feet and hit, with the crown of his helmet, a defenseless player, in the helmet.

The arbitrary interpretation of NFL's rules continues.

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 4m4 minutes ago

So Cody Wallace got a hefty fine, but no suspension. Still a joke. Guess the NFL needed Bruton to get a concussion to suspend Wallace.

Beckham's incident doesn't seem so bad after watching this. I guess if he called Bruton a fag, he would have gotten suspended.

[weazel]

The NFL doesn't give a shit about the players... they are meat.

It's not necessarily the hit that bugs me (which was unwarranted), it's the inconsistency on the NFL in giving punishment to those who violate their rules. You could say Bruton was a defenseless player with his head down, play over, and not expecting such a hit. Then you compared this to the Beckham/Norman incident, in which wasn't all that bad, but Beckham is being crucified.

[weazel]

I really want to see that new Will Smith movie

[I Eat Staples]

How was the Cody Wallace hit different from Beckham's? Both were unnecessary, dirty, and dangerous. Both deserve at least a 1 game suspension.

Everyone is talking about Beckham just because he's famous and everyone watched that game. And even though stuff was happening between Beckham and Norman all game, only the spear deserved the suspension. The NFL suspended Beckham because they care about PR, not player safety.

David Bruton Jr. Player Contributor Safety


I didn't think it was broken. I thought it was like a bruise to my calf, something that would loosen up.

I had a bruise on my calf last year versus Cincinnati and it felt somewhat similar, so I just thought it was that. I put a calf sleeve on it at halftime and had it worked on.

It got worse and worse, until the last two series of the fourth quarter on defense, where I'm literally just trying to play. Trying to stop is where it hurt — heck, just running hurt, any time I had to roll up onto my toes to try to push off — just everything hurt.

It's just a prime example of the "kicking and screaming" that Elway wants our team to do — to just keep fighting to the last man.

We were already thin everywhere, especially at the safety position. We knew we had a lot of injuries going in there, but there's no excuse. You go in there and you play ball, and I feel like, again, it's just a prime example of fighting and heart and not wanting to give up for your team.

I can't really do much, physically. I'll be a player-coach, show my face here and there. I'll definitely be up to date as far as film study and stuff like that. If I see something, I'll help the young guys or the new guys they brought in, help them out with what I see and just try to contribute in some shape or form.

David Bruton is the epitome of "kicking and screaming" I wish every player on the roster had his mentality, especially our pass catchers.

Also Wallace admitted it was a retaliation hit on Bruton for an earlier play with Brown.

would be cool to see them play in the playoffs and see Wallace get hit hard enough to make him puke
