Von Miller and Rahim Moore were the highlights of a defense-heavy draft engineered by the new John Elway/John Fox regime in Dove Valley. Listen in as Ian Cerveny and Dan Olson review the Denver Broncos’ 2011 NFL Draft picks.
Welcome to the Pro Sports Colorado All-Cerveny Mock Draft. Ian and Ben Cerveny teamed up to lay out EXACTLY how today’s 2011 NFL Draft will play out. Watch and learn slackers!
Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen sent a letter to season ticket holders (presumably with the bill for the mythical 10 games to happen at Invesco Field this fall), apologizing for the lockout and assuring fans the team will be ready to play come August, assuming a new collective bargaining agreement is reached.
Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox will go to trial on felony sexual assault charges this Wednesday in Douglas County south of Denver. If found guilty, Cox could face as little as two years in prison or as much as a life sentence.
In swooped the woebegone Broncos with a four-year $43 million deal that will virtually assure Champ Bailey a Denver retirement, a spot on the Ring of Fame, and the enduring love of Broncos fans. What contrast!
The worst thing the Bronco brass can do is to get enamored with the idea of a ‘defensive’ coach, lest they end up with another McDaniels-style disaster.
Elway was consistently pressured to define his position within the organization, often brushing back comments about his lack of experience as an NFL Executive. But John continually boiled down his job down to something simple: remaking the Denver Broncos as a classy organization after McDaniels tarnished its image.
The new coach faces the daunting task of rebuilding one of the league’s worst defenses, developing a rough but promising young quarterback, and winning back the hearts of the Bronco faithful. And whoever this coach is, he must do so in the face of a work stoppage due to labor issues in the NFL.
The end was mercifully quick… for Broncos Nation and for Josh McDaniels. How could an era that began with such promise and fanfare go down in flames so fast?
Bowlen originally stated last week that he would not fire Josh this season or next, but immediately began backtracking from that statement in subsequent interviews. Now rumors are circulating that Bowlen fired McDaniels as a late-day birthday present to local blogger Ian Cerveny.
