2024 Broncos' Season, Week 3

 


Week 4: Denver Broncos 26, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7
Season Record: 1-2 (0-1 Home)
Key Play: In the Fourth Quarter, trailing 26-7, Baker Mayfield connected with tight end Cade Otton on a short pass. Otton fumbled, which was recovered by Brandon Jones, sealing the victory.

Recap: The Broncos came out hot. The team aggressively threw the ball down the field to start the game and was able to score a touchdown on the first drive. While the offense wasn't always that aggressive, a good game plan combined with an aggressive defense allowed the Broncos to get their first win. That's encouraging. Bo Nix threw for more than 200 yards, avoided interceptions, and completed more than 60 percent of his passes. That's also encouraging. Still no passing touchdowns, but it's been a decent performance that provides some hope and encouragement. Those are all good signs. So, too, is a Broncos' defense that allowed only seven points on the road while forcing turnovers and getting seven sacks. If the Broncos can keep this kind of play up, they stand a good chance of winning a few games and starting to trend in the right direction.

Game Balls:
* Bo Nix. Nix threw for 216 and rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown, playing turnover free.
* Courtland Sutton. It was a nice game for Sutton, who caught seven passes for 68 yards.
* Brandon Jones. The Broncos' safety had a big impact, making an interception and later recording a fumble recovery.
* Dondrea Tillman. Just elevated to the roster from the Practice Squad, Tillman had two big sacks Sunday.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju...

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...
