The Denver Broncos are 1-0.
How sweet does that sound Broncos fans?
After the longest verbal beating I can remember, the Denver Broncos proved their skeptics wrong on Sunday, and they did it with an unexpected strength: their defense.
In fact, the Broncos’ defense was so on point that the home team Bengals only reached the red zone twice in the entire game, and did not score a point for 59 minutes, 19 seconds.
In the wake of his recent practice field hissy fit, Denver Broncos wide receiver may have gone far beyond anything any fan ever thought possible.
In addition to losing respect from virtually every respectable NFL fan, coach, or executive, he may have lost the respect of his role models and elders on the team.
2008 was a great year to be a wide receiver with the Denver Broncos, as former head coach called on his quarterbacks to drop back and pass the ball 620 times, a franchise record and good for second in the NFL.
Still, the Broncos’ group of receivers was very young, and while they were extremely talented, they made their share of mistakes.
Each receiver had his share of key drops, fumbles, or missed blocking assignments, all which cost the Broncos significantly last year, being that their offense had to play near perfect football to win games.
While the Broncos continued to gain yardage through the air (they ranked second in the NFL), they had a very rough time putting the ball in the end zone.
Heading into 2009, the Broncos’ receiving group has high expectations, even though Kyle Orton has taken over at quarterback for Jay Cutler. Who will be his top targets?
