Broncos Open Training Camp with Questions

August 1, 2015 by Micheal Savoie

Entering the fourth year and likely final year of the Peyton Manning era, it is now or never for the Denver Broncos to win their first Super Bowl Championship since John Elway led the team to back to back championships to end his career. Much like the other 31 teams in the NFL, questions abound entering the 2015-2016 season.

How will Peyton Manning adapt to Gary Kubiak’s system?

After ending the last three seasons without a Super Bowl victory, the Broncos and now Chicago Bears Head Coach John Fox agreed to part ways. Enter former Texans Head Coach and Broncos backup Quarterback Gary Kubiak. Notorious for his zone blocking run oriented scheme which favors cut back runners similar to Terrell Davis and Arian Foster, it remains to be seen how Kubiak will adapt to Manning’s talents and vice-versa. If Manning can be satisfied with a decrease in numbers and fewer passing attempts, a diversified Broncos offense should lead to more sustainable offensive success.

Who will start at running back?

Prior to season ending injuries to Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman, the Broncos running game had been stagnant to say the least. Forced into action last season due to injuries, C.J. Anderson enters training camp as the favorite to start after a strong 2014-2015 campaign. Similar in style to Terrell Davis, the job is Anderson’s to lose, but he should be pushed by both Ball and Hillman.

Can the linebackers stay healthy?

When healthy, the Broncos have a solid linebacking corps. As training camp begins, neither Brandon Marshall nor Danny Trevathan are fully cleared to participate in drills. With a strong pass rush anchored by Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware, and newly drafted Shane Ray; and a stellar secondary featuring Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib at corner, linebacker is the Broncos’ defensive weakness. Marshall and Trevathan staying healthy is essential for success come playoff time.

Will this season end with a Lombardi Trophy?

The only question that really matters. While the Broncos should remain competitive and will likely win the AFC West, overtaking either the Patriots or Colts to even represent the AFC in the Super Bowl will be a difficult challenge.Lombardi Trophy

The League Is A Comedy/Tragedy All Rolled Into One

March 22, 2015 by Micheal Savoie

I know.

Fans of teams who aren’t the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are pulling their hair out.

Well, the Buffalo Bills fans are excited. So are the Miami Dolphin fans. Their teams are looking better with the addition of a few new free agents and some trades. I mean, who wouldn’t be happy to have LeSean McCoy or Ndamukong Suh?


Poor Philadelphia Eagles fans are afraid to watch the news, because their head coach, Chip Kelly is creating Oregon East by trading for and picking up(via free agency) former Ducks. Sports radio in Philly is filled with neurotic fans who believe that Chip Kelly has lost his mind. Has he? Or is he engineering a new way to win in the NFL?

Meanwhile, in San Francisco, the 49ers are wondering what the heck happened. At the end of the 2014 season, the team lost their leader, Jim Harbaugh, as a result of ownership deciding that they needed a change. Patrick Willis, their Pro Bowl Linebacker, announced his retirement after 8 seasons. Defensive End Justin Smith announced that he may be retiring as well. But perhaps the biggest announcement was when Linebacker Chris Borland announced his retirement after only one season. I imagine that 49ers fans are reeling.

What is happening on your team? Tell us about it.

Wow! The coaches are dropping, and some are already finding a place to coach in another city… maybe not as head coach, but they make great coordinators.
