Thread: Does the team seem a little too somber or disinterested?

The team still seems like they're depressed.

All the interviews I've seen makes me think that they could care less what happens this year.

Maybe that's not completely accurate but I'm definalty getting a different feeling from them.

And I can tell you one thing, it's not the feeling I was getting from the Colts Thursday night. This guys were jacked up and feeling good!

We look like we just want to get this over with.

Anyone else see this?

Or am I just seeing things?

please dont start this idea up again

sure they are probably still mourning the loses but i believe that they are over it for the most part . . . .kind of like what everybody goes through losing a loved one, it doesnt destroy them

but they all seem excited too me, bly and champ are talking the talk and about to walk the walk come tom.

nothing ive seen shoes them disinterested, but more patiently waiting to get out there, and keep a calm level head (i think Jay has something to do with this) but the last couple years we let things get ahead of us a we ended up triping over our mouths, and egos in the opener

i much rather have the win then see our players excited, maybe if you point me at what your watching id have a better idea, but i just dont see it, i see a team with a lot to prove (they will) and a team that is just as excited as others just they show it in a different way

Well, It's been pretty much everything I've seen since training camp.


I definatly don't see as much excitement as we've had in years past.

I see players going through the motions.

I was hoping that alot of out new guys would liven things up a bit, but I still see a dark cloud looming over the organization.

but i mean these are interviews, are the people supposed to be like running around and jumping and saying oh were gonna kick the bills butts come sunday, what are you looking for.

idk i guess i just dont see what you see, i see a young team that handles themselves very maturly and carries themselves in a good manner when the camera are on them!

just my opinion but i think we have a much better team than last year, although they are very inexperienced. and thats exactly what i want to see from them,

i think Jay and Co. want to prove themselves before touting their horn and then they shoot themselves in the foot again and shove it in their mouth like they did last year missing the playoffs after going 13-3 the year before (just shows how quick change can happen)

Yeah, I think our team is better than last year too but that's not saying much.

I'm not asking them to toot their horn. That's not the Bronco way anyway.

It's just a feeling I'm getting.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

I think you're looking too much into it. We will be fine IMO.

Maybe it's because there's a whole lot of new guys in the team, and they lost some teammates who've been with them for quite some time. Maybe there's a bit of an adjustment period. I sure hope there's a comedian on the team to lighten things up; they need an occasional break from being serious.

Quick! Bring back Shannon Sharpe!

Actually we have all (including me) been going on at D.J. Williams for not being a leader but D.J. seems to be known as one of the comedians on the team. This doesn't make him "the leader" but it does help the team and it does help D.J. build a better relationship with the other players.

I get the same feeling TDK, it just deosnt feel like the start of the season.

I dont know maybe its just me, but the fire and excitement just isnt being put out there from this group of guys.

Ill wait until abot 2pm Sunday before I decide if its realistic or just my own issues

Yep, we could use a little more of his charisma and attitude.

That's good to know. The Broncos will need that specially when things start to get tense during the season.

lets hope they fire up come game time...

because i too hope my spidy senses are wrong...

TDK is don't really think that the team is disinterested. I just think it has been a super tough year on them in so many different ways. First Darrent was murdered, then Damien dies in such a sudden manner. Two of their long time leaders Al and Rod are not in front and center like normal. I don't want to get into a Jake vs Jay thing, but Jake had a energy that is infectious, I have seen it first hand more than once. There have so many changes and I think it just takes time to adjust. I hope like many have said that once the season starts everything will gel. I am so impressed with everyone on this board that you can have a worry and not get jumped on.

Maybe that just misconception on your part. Maybe you're just reading it wrong. At least I sure hope you are.
