Elway Access: Playing with confidence

In his weekly interview, John Elway talks about the progress made by the offense and what it will take for the defense to slow down Adrian Peterson this week.

Thanks for starting the thread, Carol. I was hoping we'd have some press conference stuff by now, but I guess it's coming later.

This seems like as good a place as any to post this, though. If you're out of market, check this map to see if the game is being broadcast in your area. I heard that originally many places were going to get GB/SF but our game seems more appealing and took over more markets (including the one I'm in):

#broncos Juwan Thompson is practicing. Neck injury better. AC/DC also playing. But that's only better for me i suppose

Mike Klis ‏@MikeKlis 15m15 minutes ago

Peyton didn't throw during warmup portion- is taking walk through reps

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 14m14 minutes ago

#broncos Louis Vasquez getting his veteran rest day with Max Garcia in his place at right guard

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 12m12 minutes ago

Ty Sambrailo is not practicing. Acc to @Jeff_Legwold, Sambrailo hurt arm vs lions. See how he progresses during the week

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 12m12 minutes ago

Manning getting reps in today. Kubiak has indicated there would be some flexibility in his rest schedule #broncos

Mike Klis ‏@MikeKlis 6m6 minutes ago

Kayvon Webster back practicing

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 20m20 minutes ago

Anunike had a full practice today. So did Juwan Thompson. Sambrailo has a "sore shoulder" and is day-to-day, Kubiak said.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 19m19 minutes ago

#broncos Vasquez and Manning received rest days. Manning did some reps in individual work

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 19m19 minutes ago

"That was the best we've protected our QB," Kubiak said of last week. "Some good things, but (still) a struggle to get the run game going."

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 18m18 minutes ago

Kubiak said the RBs need more space to run, but also that they've got to make their own space, too.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 18m18 minutes ago

Kubiak: TJ Ward was the team's defensive player of the game.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 18m18 minutes ago

Kubiak: Vikings are the most physical team the Broncos have faced so far.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 15m15 minutes ago

Kubiak said he hopes Sambrailo can practice tomorrow but that he was really sore today.

Denver Broncos ‏@Broncos 55s55 seconds ago

#Manning on @owendaniels' high-jump TD vs #Lions: "He's made that catch a lot over the years. ... I just wanted to give him a chance."

Denver Broncos ‏@Broncos 3m3 minutes ago

#Manning: "We'll have our hands full with [the @Vikings] on Sunday."

Nicki Jhabvala ‏@NickiJhabvala 1m1 minute ago

Peyton on @b_fowler13: "Throwing to him five times I think shows my confidence in him."

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 2m2 minutes ago

#broncos manning said Fowler is fearless over the middle and has speed to go deep. Manning said that they trust him

Denver Broncos ‏@Broncos 1m1 minute ago

#Manning: "We're still learning. Every week presents a new challenge. Still plenty of improvement to be made."

I can't find the Tweet, but if Sambrailo can't play, they used Harris at LT and Schofield at RT. Yikes

Sambrailo will play.

Ty is one tough SOB!

He finished the game with that injury. That same injury has kept him from practicing at all this week so far. I really really like Ty. He was not my fav pick at the time but man is he quickly becoming one of them.



PS- we be fugged if harris and schofield start for us. This viking pass rush doesnt get a lot of recognition but they are very very good. I wouldnt mind going 2wr 2te for majority of the game to help our T and maybe pop some running lanes open.


TY we need you this week! Heal up

If Harris is starting? Who has been the starting right tackle all year?

Harris at LT.
Back in the day he was a good LT for us. Now, he is a mediocre RT. Moving him back to LT would be even worse. We have already seen how average he is at RT this year.

Under is still a little emotional over the ribbing he's gotten over his sudden fandom of Bennie Fowler. He's just not thinking straight.





Hi Under!

Under, Harris has never played left tackle for Denver. He was the right tackle in his first stint with Denver as well as this one.

Maybe you're confusing him with Clark?

Tx is right. I was thinking to the quote from shanny where he said Harris was a better LT than clady (pre clady draft), but shanny used that as a smokescreen so no one would know that's whom he wanted. He never actually played it for us tho. I was mistaken.

Either way, Harris at LT is an even worse play than he is at RT.
