The following is from has been reported from nfl.com:
Patriots cut Lynch
NFL.com

The New England Patriots released 36-year-old safety John Lynch on Sunday, just 16 days after signing the 15-year veteran.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick left the door open for a possible return by Lynch later in the season.

"It goes without saying but John is an all-time great safety, one of the league's classiest professionals and his elite play speaks for itself," Belichick said. "As has been the case in other situations, I would not rule anything out down the road."

Lynch, recently released after four seasons in Denver, is a nine-time Pro Bowler.

"I have no regrets about my time thus far with the Patriots," Lynch said. "The immense respect that I've long held for the organization has been only heightened over the past couple of weeks. I am going to keep all options open and look forward with excitement to see what the future brings."

Well, I never really saw anything in Glenn. But about Darrell I am kinda mad. And Cecil is on reserverd/injured so like he’s not totally gone yet. I think? Jorden Beck I thought was nice on ST. But we got other good guys on special teams so. I thought it was dumb that we picked up Tyrone Poole then just cut a little later.

It was a sweet game. I am so excited about Jack Williams. I've liked him since draft day. And now people are not looking at me like I'm dunmb. :)

Nate Webster is our MLB

Nate Webster has been named the Broncos starter. "It's an honor, first of all, to be named the starter,The next goal is to get to work and start winning." -Nate Webster
Webster said that when the Broncos signed Niko it forced him to play harder-and win the job.
Coach Shanny said it was a "nip and tuck," battle. "We play the best player and we've been doing it that way for 14 years," Shanny basically admitted that he paid Niko to big of a contract and wont start him just because if it. "It doesn't matter if it's a draft choice, free agents. If you start playing people based on money, you won't have a very good chance of becoming a special team."-Shanahan
"I was doing my job. I just wasn't making a lot of plays out there," Koutouvides said. "I felt like if I could have made more plays it probably would have helped me out more. I'm not going to sit here and give you a bunch of excuses. You've got two guys competing and one guy wins, you've got to deal with it."

The following is from:
DenverPost.com
Lindsay H. Jones, The Denver Post
Broncos' starting linebackers
D.J. Williams

6-1, 240, weakside, in 5th year

After a failed one-year experiment at middle linebacker, Williams moves back to the position where he was so effective in his rookie season. He will call the plays in the defensive huddle.

Nate Webster

6-0, 232, middle, in 9th year

The natural middle LB excels at stopping the run and feels more "at home" here than on the strong side, where he played in 2007.

Boss Bailey

6-3, 232, strongside, in 6th year

Bailey had a career-high 3 1/2 sacks last season with Detroit and, when healthy, should be the Broncos' best linebacker in pass coverage.

When I heard about Parker, I was kinda surprized. But the other two we all kinda saw it coming.

Parker, a fifth-year player, joined the Broncos as an unrestricted free agent on April 15 after spending his first four seasons with Kansas City.

Jay Cutler is PICture Perfect_Packers game

This pre-season Jay Cutler has not had one int! And the Broncos starting O-line did’t give up a single Cutler sack. Very Impressive. I am so please with the way Jay has played behind rookie Ryan Clady. That kid is something!

In the game Friday night, Jay started out playing poor. He was having a hard time getting a completion. But later in the game he got into it and hooked up with B-Marsh for a long 49 yard TD. And he also hit Nate Jackson for a score. At the end of the night he was 6-13 for 115 yards and two TD's, which is not that bad. Then of course if we wanna lose a game we put in the Pat Rat. Ramsey came in and actually got a touchdown pass. It was to Michael Pittman. But then late in the game he was hit in the pocket and the ball went up into the air, and a Packer grabbed it. Then the Packers scored with great field position. The final score was Packers 27 Broncos 24. It was not really a bad game.

This Week in Gameday: Aug. 16, 2008 -- Friday, August 15, 2008
Walking around the facilities in street clothes, the 5-foot-11 Young seems to always have a smile on his face, ready to talk and joke with anyone willing to do it.
But when he straps on his helmet and jogs out onto the field, it's a whole other story. Stiff-arms to the face. Jukes so bad your cleats might go one way and your ankles the other. Most of all, speed that will leave you wondering why your face is in the dirt and his is on the big screen, standing in the endzone. And there's that smile again.
"Setting your mind to something and accomplishing it after putting so much work into it is a great feeling," Young said of last season. "To be able to go start over and put more on myself and demand more goals and to be able to accomplish that this season would be a plus for me. Hopefully it will help me grow and become a complete NFL back."

John Lynch

Well this stinks...I be a Pat fan this fall:

(from NFL.com)

(Stephan Savoia/Associated Press)

John Lynch (No. 47) is fitting in with his new teammates.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- John Lynch thought he'd end his football career with the Denver Broncos.
Now the veteran safety and nine-time Pro Bowl pick, who spent four seasons with Denver after 11 years with Tampa Bay, has signed with the New England Patriots. NFL Network's Adam Schefter is reporting that the Patriots and Lynch agreed on a one-year, $1.5 million contract.
John Lynch, S New England Patriots Age: 36Born: 9/25/1971, Hinsdale, Ill.Height: 6-2 Weight: 220College: StanfordExperience: 15th season
"I thought Denver would be my last stop, but things happened and here I am," Lynch said Friday.
Lynch parted ways with the Broncos early in training camp after being told he would no longer be an every-down player. He was contacted by the Patriots, a team he nearly signed with as a free agent in 2004 before selecting the Broncos.
After talking to coach Bill Belichick and taking a physical, Lynch went back to Denver to confer with his family about accepting the Patriots' contract offer. He returned to Foxborough Thursday and the Patriots finally officially announced the contract signing Friday.
The Patriots need help in the secondary after safety-linebacker Tank Williams had a season-ending knee injury Aug. 7 in their first exhibition game, a 16-15 loss to Baltimore. Neither of last season's starters, Rodney Harrison and James Sanders, played in that game and both have missed several practices in training camp.
Lynch, whose career totals include 1,277 tackles, 13 sacks and 26 interceptions, said he was flattered when New England expressed an interest in his services.
"I've always admired the Patriot organization from afar," he said.
Lynch cited the number of star players who dot the roster, but said that wasn't the determining factor in signing with New England.
"The thing that's always impressed me the most is the way they play the game," he said. I think they play it the right way. They embody the sense of team as well as anyone."
Whether Lynch will play Sunday night in the Patriots' second preseason game against Tampa Bay remains to be seen. He said he got through the playbook in one night and felt good after his first practice, even though he had little sleep.
Lynch was asked whether, at the age of 36, he could still be an every-down player.
"We'll see," he said. "You produce and things like that happen."
Belichick said he would confer with his coaches, Lynch, and watch film of the practice Friday before deciding whether to put Lynch on the field Sunday night.
"I am excited to have John on the team," Belichick said. "He is a guy I have admired for a long time -- his playing style and his production. He has been a great player with different organizations and with nine Pro Bowls."
Also on Friday, Randy Moss spoke to the media for the first time since the start of training camp, cautioning fans and the media against expecting the same fireworks that produced a slew of NFL records last season.
"I'm kind of nervous, the reason why being what we did last year as a whole unit," he said. "We're going to try and come out and put points on the board because that's what the coaches ask us to do. The expectations -- the bar's set so high here, not by you all and not by the fans, but the coaches and the team. We have high expectations for this offense and this team as a unit, but what we did last year, man, I don't think we can really live and dwell off that."
In another roster move, the Patriots placed offensive lineman Barry Stokes, whom they recently signed, on the injured reserve list.

Lynch on joining Patriots

Broncos sign Poole

I don't remember this guy...but he doesn't look half bad.

(from DenverBroncos.com)

The Broncos on Wednesday signed cornerback Tyrone Poole, Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced.
Poole is a 13th-year defensive back who has played for Oakland, New England, Denver, Indianapolis and Carolina during his NFL career. Poole, who competed in Houston’s 2007 training camp in his most recent NFL action, entered the league with the Panthers as a first-round, 22nd overall, choice in the 1995 NFL Draft from Fort Valley State University.
In 142 career regular-season games, 112 starts, Poole has totaled 477 tackles, 18 interceptions, six sacks, 121 pass breakups, nine forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. The defensive back has started at least 12 games in a season seven times and also owns 58 career punt returns for 429 yards.
During his one season with the Broncos in 2002, Poole saw time in all 16 games, including four starts. He finished the year with 51 tackles, one sack, 10 pass breakups and one forced fumble.
Denver also on Wednesday released fourth-year cornerback Christian Morton.

Jay Cutler

Broncos and Texans game

Hey tomorrow I am going to a week boot camp, so to fill you in on all the Bronco Buzz while I'm gone head over to Bronco Madness. Before I go to bed here is a over-view of our game:

At the start of the game I saw some nice flashes of Eddie, he had 2 catches for 13 yards, and 2 kick returns for 42yrds.
Jay Cutler went 8-10 with 59 yards, and a 15 yard touchdown run.
Our HB's I was kinda disapointed in.
Matt Prater miss a 30 yard field goal-wide right.
But the guy that really cought my eye was Darrell Hackney, he went 4-7 and 62 yards, and 16 yard run.

The final score was 16-19 Texans

NFL.com reports:

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Jay Cutler produced for Denver through the air and on the ground.
What we learned ...
Schaub, Rosenfels look sharp: The Texans look just fine at the quarterback position, as starter Matt Schaub was very efficient, going 4-of-5 for 29 yards, and backup Sage Rosenfels, taking the bulk of the snaps, went 10-of-15 for 137 yards and a touchdown.
Texans' running game stalled: While Ahman Green did not get a carry, his immediate backups didn't show much. Chris Taylor ran hard, but gained just 19 yards on 10 carries, and Darius Walker fared just slightly better, running for 29 yards on eight carries. Rookie Steve Slaton looked promising, with 11 carries for 37 yards.
Jay Cutler takes over: Denver's starting QB picked apart Houston's defense, going 8-of-10 for 59 yards. On his final play, Cutler scrambled and ran past the Texans' defense for a 15-yard touchdown.
Surprising RB steps up: As Selvin Young struggled on the ground, gaining just 3 yards on four carries, Andre Hall made his mark for Denver, carrying the ball eight times for 43 yards, including converting a couple of third downs. Young did pitch in as a receiver, however, with two catches for 20 yards.
Broncos LB taken off on stretcher: Denver's Louis Green left the field on a stretcher after colliding with teammate D.J. Williams in the first quarter. He was taken to the hospital with a neck injury and a concussion, but did move his fingers and hands as he left the field. Green was replacing Boss Bailey, who sprained his right ankle early in the game

Denver LB Green leaves game on stretcher
Associated Press
HOUSTON -- Denver Broncos linebacker Louis Green left the field on a stretcher with a neck injury and a concussion in the first quarter of Saturday's preseason game against Houston.
The 6-foot-3, 237-pound Green collided with teammate D.J. Williams as the two converged to tackle Texans tight end Owen Daniels, who caught a short pass.
Green lay motionless for several minutes as medical staff rushed to check on him. Green was strapped to the stretcher and was moving his fingers and hands as he was rolled off the field.
The Texans said Green was taken to a hospital for further evaluation.
Green had replaced Boss Bailey, who sprained his right ankle and limped off the field on the Texans' second play from scrimmage.
The 28-year-old Green, starting his fifth NFL season, played in all 16 games for Denver in 2007 and finished with nine tackles.

The Beijing Olympic Games start tonight. The Olympic Games are so fun to watch, I personally like to watch our basketball team. This year they are so good, it seems impossible for them not to win. I can just imagine---"And Lee Chung Chen Lu is starting at Center for China, at 5-7 he's the tallest player on the team." There are so many different sports, yet America's Game is not included. Football is not nor ever has been an Olympic game. I have wondered so much why it is not. I figure it is because: can you imagine an All-American football team. Like if we grabbed the best players in the NFL, and put them all on the same team! Nobody could even be on the same field with them. We would DESTROY any other team. So I think the reason that we don't have football in Olympics is mainly fear. Fear that America will have the best Football team in the WORLD.
Enjoy the games, and your weekend. Be sure to watch the Broncos and Texans tomorrow.

Just think...that game would be a BLOW-OUT!

Brett back and a Jet, we'll play him again...

Hey as you know Favre was traded to the Jets, and right after he was the first thing I thought was "stink!" It just happens that on Sunday November 30th at the Giants Stadium 1p.m. EST on CBS* the Denver Broncos will play the New York Jets. And Brett Favre. I have bad memories of last year's game in Denver when on the second play of over-time Brett tossed a 80yrd. pass over the head of Donald Andre Bly's head. The Jets had a great offseason, picking up Alan Faneca, Brett, and Tony Richardson among others. The Broncos I think had an even better one, as you know. Some negitive things were Elam going to Atlanta, and Lynch leaving as well. But anyway, back to the point when I first saw our '08 season schedule the Jets game was one that I just glanced over, now it is one that I'll be waiting for all fall. I am sure that this game will be big for Dre' Bly, and the rest of our DB's.

50th post: NFL.com game center: Broncos VS. Texans

Congratulations! To me, this is my 5oth post on blogger! I hope to keep the post going for a long time.
Anyway, lets get to the post:

Well they think just about what I said before, Matthew has to show off his leg, and our backs have to run wild. And about the Texans...who cares! :)

Quick Take: Broncos vs. Texans
NFL.com

Broncos coach Mike Shanahan is extremely optimistic about the ability of a healthy Jay Cutler.
Keep your eye on ...
1. Denver running backs: Selvin Young came into the league as an undrafted rookie and a year later sits atop the depth chart in Denver. This week in camp, fifth-round pick Ryan Torain broke his elbow and the Broncos will look for undrafted rookie Anthony Alridge or second-year player Andre Hall to make a name for himself in the preseason.

2. Denver kicker Matt Prater: Second-year man Prater has big shoes to fill, as three-time Pro Bowler Jason Elam, who kicked four game winners for the Broncos last year, signed with the Falcons in the offseason.

3. Texans QB Matt Schaub: Fans in Houston are eager to see what Schaub can do when consistantly healthy. He missed the final four games last year but he'll be under center with the first-team and looking to reconnect with WR Andre Johnson.

4. Texans rookie RB Steve Slaton: With a few impressive cutbacks in the preseason, the diminutive third-round pick out of West Virginia has a chance to prove he can be the reliable third-down back the team needs.

Brett Now A Jet

Here is the Full Story . Here is a little thing I made with the help of paint:

Madden09

I am a HUGE Madden fan, when I was like ten my older brother went shopping with my mom and when he got back he had a computer game with him, called Madden NFL 2003. That was what got me started with not just Madden's but also football period. My family had lived in Denver in the '90's so that's where I got into all the Bronco stuff.

Well anyway the main reason I am talking about Madden is the "curse" and our low ratings on '09. Our linebacker's are crazy, we are WAAAAY better than that! And no wonder the Packers don't wont Brett Favre, he's been cursed! They will be lucky if the Bucks or Jets take him. John (Madden) thought he was smart and put a retired player on his game to "stop" the curse, but it sure didn't work. Madden, you didn't do so good this year, I love how Eli Manning shot way up from his 85 rating, he did not get all that much better just cause he won one game. Niko is gonna show how totally wrong you are about his ratings!

I can't wait to play it. :)

Ryan Torain gone 6-8 weeks..."That's football"

When the Broncos were doing offensive VS. defensive drills rookie running back Ryan Torain ran right on a run and fell awkwardly with defensive players all over him. Torain broke a bone in the upper elbow. Coach Mike Shanahan thinks he'll be out 6 to 8 weeks. Torain will will get an MRI today.

Coach said just what I thought when I heard the news:
"That’s football, You’re going to lose guys, there’s nothing you can do about it. Except get better.”

Marshall suspended 3 games!! :(

I really wanted to see him play the Raiders...stink!!

(thanks to the Denver Broncos for the info)

Statement by an NFL spokesperson:
Brandon Marshall of the Denver Broncos has been suspended without pay for the team’s first three regular-season games of 2008 for violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. If Marshall fully complies with required counseling and other conditions of the suspension, Commissioner Goodell will consider reducing the suspension to two games.
Subject to a potential appeal, Marshall’s three-game suspension would begin on Saturday, August 30 and he would be eligible to return to the Broncos’ active roster on Monday, September 22 following the team’s September 21 game against the New Orleans Saints.

Hart(sorry can't find a pix of him) is just like the collage star he was...GREAT!! Q. Gray can pass very good while scrambling, and M. Mason has really impressed me, and A. Randle El has some good hands.

With 'brick' on shoulder, Dumervil pounds QBs for Broncos

(from USATODAY.com)
By Jeff Zillgitt, USA TODAY
PHOTOS: Broncos training camp

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil has heard it before and heard it repeated over and over.
At 5-11, not tall enough to play defensive end. At 260 pounds, not big enough to take on offensive linemen.
Turns out, player personnel staffs were measuring the wrong part of Dumervil's game.
"Everybody wants to measure him by his height," Broncos defensive line coach Bill Johnson said. "He has the qualities of what it takes to be a good pass rusher — long arms, big hands, quick feet."
"And he's strong," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan added.
Then, there are immeasurable qualities: will, desire, heart.
"I'm a guy who loves the game," Dumervil said. "I don't take anybody lightly. A lot of guys underestimate people. Not me. Any guy from a sixth, seventh rounder, a free agent, first rounder, I approach them the same way — that he's a Pro Bowler. But I think I can outwork the guy in front of me.
"I actually have a natural knack of wanting to kill quarterbacks. That's what I love to do."
If that wasn't apparent at Miami Jackson High when he compiled 60 sacks during his junior and senior seasons and if that wasn't apparent at Louisville after he had 20 sacks and an NCAA-record 10 forced fumbles in his senior season, it is apparent now after two seasons in the NFL.
Last season, Dumervil led the Broncos with 12½ sacks, tied for sixth best in the NFL. It was the highest sack total for a Bronco since 1999. In the past two seasons, just five players have accumulated more sacks than Dumervil's 21.
"I take pass rushing personally," Dumervil said. "You want to beat that guy in front of you. It's an all-out conscious effort. Sacks don't come easy. When you do get them, you really appreciate them."
Dumervil also forced four fumbles, two of which were returned for touchdowns. "There's no better feeling than getting a sack and a forced fumble," he said.
Every team passed on Dumervil in the 2006 draft, and the Broncos selected him the fourth round. He uses that as motivation. Dumervil doesn't just play with a chip on his shoulder: "I play with a brick on it," he said.
He looked to another undersized pass rusher, former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas, for inspiration. Dumervil also wants to learn more about defensive end Fred Dean. Though Dean, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, was 6-3, he was considered small at 230 pounds.
Heading into his third season, Dumervil is poised for another strong year, Johnson and Shanahan said.
"When you look at his production, it ain't a flash in the pan," Johnson said. "He's been consistent since the day he started playing. That's tangible evidence that this guy is a quality football player."
Said Shanahan: "He'll be one of the top defensive ends this year. I'll be surprised if he's not in that 15-sack range. You can tell he enjoys playing the game. It's one of the reasons why I think he'll have a heck of a year."
Another reason the Broncos are excited for Dumervil is the 24-year-old's improvement with the mental part of the game. Pairing his physical gifts with a deeper understanding of X's and O's should increase his effectiveness.
"He doesn't start playing the play when the ball snaps. He is playing the play once the huddle breaks," Johnson said. "His professionalism has grown. He's out there leading the pack. He's practicing with a lot of energy."
Dumervil displayed that intensity during drills against the offensive line in practice Monday. Dumervil beat his man and started running his mouth. Veteran center Tom Nalen didn't like that and threw a football at Dumervil.
"He just said, 'Be quiet, Elvis,' " Dumervil said.

8 Days till Broncos play!! Yes! :)

With all the off-season stuff going on football season creaped up on me! And today I noticed: Just over a WEEK TILL THE BRONCOS PLAY! I am SO pumped! The NFL is back! So anyway here is a game preview:

Denver Broncos VS. Houston Texans Aug 9, 2008 8:00 pm - Buy Tickets

Okay first off Ryan Clady and the rest of the O-line have to give our QB's lots of time, keeping Mario Williams out of our back-field will be a big +. Speaking of back-fields our RB's have to EXPLODE and if they can do that it will open up our passing game. In defence we need to stop Andre Johnson, with Lynch possible out of the picture Foxworth, Domonique will be getting lots more playing time, Foxworth has been playing very well in Broncos camp and is expected to soon push Bly, Dre' for a starting job. Matt Prater needs to prove he can be "clutch".

This is just a pre-season game but, there is no such thing as "just a pre-season game" players still play and it gives coaches a good idea of what the season will be like.

note:
Since former Broncos offensive cortinate Gary Kubiak left Denver and became the Texans head coach he has picked up about half a dozen cut/or traded Broncos Bell, Mike, and Ferguson, Nick are among the current.
