Week 2 of the Broncos’ coaching search wasn’t nearly as eventful as the first, but there appears to be a reason for the lack of action. Multiple reports from various reporters over the past few days have indicated that San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans is either the top candidate or one of a couple of top candidates for…
In less than two months, free agency will open and the Denver Broncos will decide where to blow their cash. Linemen? Linbackers? A new safety? Don’t be suprised if they go after a star running back. Bare with me. Javonte Williams, the Broncos’ current top dog, is a worthy starting back but his knee injury is not a simple one.…
This week in our season grade series, we’re moving into the trenches. The Broncos were hit by injuries along the offensive line, which meant eight different linemen played extensive roles in 2022 and a handful of others earned opportunities as well. Overall, the line was a disappointment. The Broncos gave up 63 sacks, which was 23 more than the league…
The Broncos’ first round of head coach interviews is done. The Broncos interviewed Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, 52, for their open head coach job on Friday, making him the final of their eight candidates to interview. The Broncos will likely hold a second round of interviews, which will probably begin early next week. So why would the Broncos hire…
Could we see another first time head coach in Denver? The Broncos interviewed San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, 38, on Thursday for their open head coach job. Ryans was one of eight candidates interviewed by the Broncos, with a second round of interviews expected to begin early next week. Ryans is one of the hottest candidates in this…
As the Denver Broncos’ search for a head coach grinds into its second week, one name stands out above the rest. Sean Payton. The 59-year-old coach has a resume that no other candidate competes with; 15 seasons of experience as an NFL head coach, a Super Bowl ring, and an AP NFL Coach of the Year Award. If he returns…
We’re taking a step back from the coaching search this week to reflect on the 2022 season. A few things went right. Most things went wrong. I’m working my way through the Broncos’ roster to grade each player individually based on his performance over the course of the past few months. We’re starting this week with the offensive skill positions……...
Finally, we get turn the page on 2022 and look ahead to 2023. The Broncos have plenty of work to do this year; they have to hire a coach, rebuild a broken offense and try to fix their 34-year-old quarterback, who is coming off his worst NFL season. We’re looking into our crystal ball and guess what will happen. The…...
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos interviewed former Stanford head coach David Shaw, 50, on Wednesday. Shaw resigned from Stanford on Nov. 27 after 16 years with the program, the final 12 of which were as head coach. He leaves as the program’s all-time winningest head coach. He has not been reported to have interviewed with any other teams since his…
Good news: Greg Penner called and told me he wants me to handle the Broncos’ offseason. (No, not for real. We’re pretending.) I’m running the operations starting today, Tuesday, Jan. 10, through the final cuts before the season-opener. The staff building, free agency, the draft, cuts; all of it. You may think my decisions are dumb. That’s fine. Feel free…
