| Denver Broncos Training Camp Quotes -- 8/14 AM - Shanahan, Brandon Marshall and D.J. Williams | | 2008-08-14 13:09:35 | |
HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN
On the morning practice -- "I felt we had a great practice today, an extension of what we had yesterday. We got a chance to evaluate a lot of our people. We got a chance to evaluate them under different conditions, (and) we are very pleased." On practice being more intense than Wednesday's sessions -- "Usually, the second day is always that way. It was the same way last year. I've probably practiced with a different team seven or eight times since I've been in the National Football League, and it never changes. That second day is usually a bit more competitive and we had some great work." On Cowboys LB Zach Thomas -- "Zach is a great football player. I think we all know Zach Thomas. He practices at a certain level, and that's why he plays at a certain level every time he hits that football field. He's an experienced pro, a guy I have always admired and he had a good practice today." On WR Brandon's Marshall's messages on the back of his shoulder pads -- "I thi... | | By: Mile High Report | | |

BRONCOS HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN
On the morning practice with the Cowboys -- "I thought we got some great work in today. I thought both sides were very professional in their approach. We have a little different schemes on both sides of the ball, and it was good work for Dallas and obviously the Broncos. We have a practice this afternoon, and I'm looking forward to that. "They have a different type of offense and a different type of defense. We get a chance to work against a 3-4 look, and they get a chance to take a look at a four-man front. I thought it was good for both teams. It was a very healthy practice and there was some good, fresh hitting. You go against somebody where you don't know their tendencies, so everybody plays a little bit more honest and it's a good evaluation process for us." On what he is looking for in terms of improvement -- "What you want to do-when you're taking a look at your OTAs, when you're taking a look at your summer camp-you want to find your best 53 g... | | By: Mile High Report | | |
| | Mike Shanahan Live at the Training Camp Media BBQ | | 2008-07-24 16:33:32 | | The Broncos held their annual Pre-Camp Media BBQ at the Broncos HQ and while I would have loved to make it I had flies on the wall to take in all the action, which includes the coach taking some time to talk about reduced roster sizes, Brandon Marshall's status on and off the field as well as questions facing the team heading into camp.
Here is a look at the short Q&A session from this afternoon --
On whether he has made changes to this season’s training camp practices
“You know, we have. It’s been quite different to go from 90 players to 80 players, and one of the adjustments that we’ve made in our afternoon practice is (that) normally we would have a normal practice, maybe an hour-and-a-half to an hour-and-40 minutes. It’s going to be more of what we call a ‘jog through.’ We’ll get a chance to get a lot of repetitions of different things that we didn’t see in the morning practice both offensively and defensively... | | By: Mile High Report | | |

| 'Enough Is Enough'; Shanahan Tired Of Travis Henry's Antics | | 2008-06-03 06:58:38 | |
Time to put this to bed. We have talked at nauseum about Travis Henry, and now that the poster boy for moral standing is no longer wearing Orange and Blue, we can put the Travis Henry era behind us.
First, Mike Shanahan closed the book by meeting with memebers of the media, discussing his reasons why the cord was cut with last season's prized Free Agent acquisition -- The release speaks volumes. You've got the little things, and if you don't do the little things, obviously you can't count on somebody.
I think our players expected it. I don't think it really surprised anybody. They know the type of standard we demand and if you don't step up to that standard, you're not going to be with us.
We have certain expectations about the way we do things. He didn't meet those. That's it. So this is the way we're going to go.
He's an excellent running back, but to do the things, (to) go where we want to go, everybody's got to be going the right direction. (He's) just too ... | | By: Mile High Report | | |
| | Mike Shanahan, The Broncos and The Draft, A Look Back - 2001 | | 2008-04-22 06:45:35 | |
Up next is 2001, a year that might go down as one of the worst in
Shanny's tenure. For the second season in a row the Broncos took a DB
in the first round, once again with little success. How did the rest
of the draft go? Not much better. Let's take a look.
1st Round -- Pick 15(15) - Willie Middlebrooks, CB (Minnesota) -- I will never understand this pick. Ever. People have tried to
explain it to me. I still don't get it. Middlebrooks was an average
DB and a below average school who had missed a significant amount of
time because of an ankle injury to boot. Middlebrooks has decent size,
at 6-1, 200, but doesn't have great speed, nor great cover skills. His
career showed as much, with Middlebrooks fighting injury most of his
rookie year. He was active 43 of the next 48 games, playing mostly
special teams. After the 2004 season the Broncos traded Middlebrooks
to the 49'ers for DE John Engleberger. Middlebroo... | | By: Mile High Report | | |
| | Mike Shanahan, The Broncos and The Draft, A Look Back -- 2000 | | 2008-04-20 12:42:14 | |
Onward, to the 2000 draft. The Broncos were coming off their worst season in over a decade, still grappling with the daunting task of replacing John Elway, dealing with the unknown of Terrell Davis' knee injury from the season before. The team was definitely in a state of transition, and it was becoming imperative that Mike Shanahan starts coming up huge in the draft. Did he hit a home run in 2000? Let's take a look.1st Round -- Pick 15(15) - Deltha O'Neal, CB (CAL) -- The Broncos had the #9 pikc in the draft, but chose to trade down, swapping the pick with Baltimore, getting the #15 pick as well as the Raven's 2nd round pick. At 15, the Broncos went defense, selecting Deltha O'Neal. The O'Neal selection is one a bit tough to gauge. There were times O'Neal looked like he was going to be a stud. A shut-down corner and electric return guy that was going to be a force in the NFL for a long time. At other times, he looke... | | By: Mile High Report | | |

| Mike Shanahan, The Broncos and The Draft, A Look Back -- 1999 | | 2008-04-18 09:19:45 | | In the 5th edition of my look back at each Broncos draft lead by Mike Shanahan and company I look at the final draft of the 20th century, and the second in a row for the Broncos following a World Championship. It would be the first since 1982, however, that John Elway was not a part of the draft, or part of the Broncos, and the first time it really sunk in with me that #7 wouldn't be taking snaps on Sunday afternoons. Let's take a look back at the 1999 draft, and how the Broncos fared to start the post-Elway era in Denver. 1st Round -- Pick 31(31) -- Al Wilson, LB(Tennessee) -- If Terrell Davis was the best pick made by Mike Shanahan to date, Wilson would have to qualify a close second. Wilson was drafted with the final pick of the first round and immediately became the vocal and emotional leader of the defense. Wilson played in all 16 games during his rookie campaign, and overall has played in 125 of 128 total team games since 1999. Wilson became a 5 time pro... | | By: Mile High Report | | |
| | Mike Shanahan, The Broncos and The Draft -- A Look Back -- 1995 | | 2008-04-09 12:24:50 | | We are quickly approaching the 2008 NFL Draft, the 14th draft for the Broncos under the guidance of Mike Shanahan. With recent events, including the firing of GM Ted Sundquist, the spotlight is on Shanny as prepares for what looks to be the most important draft of his tenure. Part of the fun of having a coach like Shanny around so long is we get the chance to look back at past successes and failures. I will be doing that form now until the draft, starting with Shanny's first draft in 1995. The 1995 Draft was unique for the Broncos, to say the least. The team didn't have a pick until the 4th round, thanks in part to a trade with Atlanta for WR Mike Pritchard. Let's take a look at each pick, and how their career ended up. At the end, I'll grade the draft and give my opinion. 4th Round -- Pick 23(121) -- Jamie Brown, OL(FLorida A&M) -- For a late 4th round selection, Brown was able to last longer than most players in the NFL. Brown played in... | | By: Mile High Report | | |
| | Even Mike Shanahan Has Thoughts On Brett Favre | | 2008-03-04 13:11:39 | | Mike Shanahan released this statement about Brett Favre -- "Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of professional football. You're judged by winning, and he's won more games than any other quarterback who has ever played. But I will remember him just as well for being such a fierce competitor and an outstanding leader. "He was the face of the Packers and a great credit to our game. It was an honor to coach against him." Did Brett die or just retire???

| | Statement From Mike Shanahan Regarding Mike Heimerdinger | | 2008-01-16 13:36:24 | | "The Tennessee Titans have requested consent to talk to Mike Heimerdinger about their offensive coordinator position, and we have granted them permission. "The opportunity in Tennessee would give Mike the chance to go back to an organization and work with a head coach with whom he is very familiar, handling the entire offense and having full control over game-planning and play-calling responsibilities." Have a safe trip to Nashville, Mike...I am sure it is a One-Way ticket!!

| | Mike Shanahan's End Of Season Spectacular!! | | 2008-01-10 19:21:27 | | HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN -- END-OF-SEASON PRESS CONFERENCE THURSDAY, JAN. 10, 2008 On former Assistant Head Coach/Defense Jim Bates -- "First of all, I would like to mention that Bob Slowik will be our defensive coordinator and he will be calling the defenses. I talked to Bates and asked him if he would like to stay and be the linebacker coach, and he decided not to. I have some strong feelings toward Jim, and he has done a lot of good things in the National Football League. I thought as a defense overall we had to move in a different direction. The four previous years, we are in the top 10 (scoring defense), and we did a lot of good things on defense. When (former defensive coordinator) Larry (Coyer) was gone, it obviously had nothing to do with football. Larry Coyer was an excellent football coach, and I did make a decision to go in a different direction, but it was not based on football at all. So, this just didn't work out to what we had planned, and it comes back to me. Hopeful... | | By: Mile High Report | | |
| | Training Camp Quotables - Mike Shanahan - July 28 | | 2007-07-29 06:09:10 | | Here are some more quotes from today, this time from HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN -- On getting ready to start camp -- "To be honest with you, during the season it's a pretty good grind. To put everything you could possibly do into six or seven months of work is always tough. After the season's over with, I like the time off, but it's short with things you have to get done. With free agency, the draft and all the camps, it's always tough to end the season like we did. You work hard to put the best team together in the offseason and a good evaluation of the draft. Now we are ready, and I am pretty optimistic." On what was accomplished during OTAs -- "We had 15, and you're allowed 17. It's really a must now. You've got about a third of your football team that turns over every year, you've got guys who have to get used to your terminology and the system that you are using. Every year, you have to play the games. The camps are a little shorter this year. We have to sta... | | By: Mile High Report | | |

| | Shanahan ponders future | | 2007-05-07 21:50:58 | | The New York Post’s Dan Martin writes that New York Rangers pending unrestricted free agent forward Brendan Shanahan isn’t sure whether he will be back with the team next season. In fact, Shanahan isn’t sure if he will return to the NHL at all.
“I haven’t thought about it,” Shanahan insisted after the Rangers fell to the Sabres in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, 5-4, at the Garden. “I have to talk it over with my family. At this point, it’s not just the option of where, but if.”
While the veteran forward says that he has had a great time playing in the Big Apple, he is yet to make up his mind on whether he wants to put his 38 year-old body through the rigorous grind of an NHL season.
“I had a great time here and I’d love to be part of it again,” Shanahan said. “But I think there’s been an ‘if’ on my decision each year the past few years.”
