I love that real numbers crunchers are coming out in droves and confirming that one play does not a player or a career make. I'm truly excited to see him progress this year.

Wes Welker presents the Broncos' passing game with a numbers problem.

Already, the Broncos had one receiver, Demaryius Thomas, who had 94 catches last year, and another, Eric Decker, who had 85.

To this prolific passing game the Broncos added Welker, who in six previous seasons with the New England Patriots averaged 112 receptions.

About the only time the Broncos defense played as if it didn't belong on the same field as the opposing defense last season was Week 5 at New England.

Utilizing what Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio referred to as the "NASCAR approach," Patriots quarterback Tom Brady engineered a warp-speed offense that got off 89 plays in a 31-21 loss.

Lucky for the Broncos, no other team used the high-speed attack against them, probably because no other team has Tom Brady. But Del Rio doesn't think he's seen the last of it.

The NFL and NFL Players Association are on the verge of pushing back the draft to May and moving up the start of the league year to before the Indianapolis scouting combine, according to league and union sources.

As for the draft, the NFLPA is close to signing off on allowing the NFL to move the draft to May from April for at least the next three years, according to sources. Under the current collective bargaining agreement, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell can set the date of the draft without the NFLPA's approval, although he would prefer to have the union's blessing to maintain league harmony.

The start of the new league year is now expected to be moved to before the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis rather than after it, per league sources. The NFLPA wanted to give free agents a chance to find new teams sooner.

Rb knowshon moreno lb joe mays no reps - rehabbing injuries

Brock osweiler changed to no 17

Willis McGahee agent Chafie Fields: "He's ready to compete. No messages.'' McGahee is veteran who works on his own. Offseason is voluntary.

Talked to Willis McGahee's agent Chafie Fields: "He's following the same routine he's done his whole career. He'll be there.''

RB Willis McGahee not expected to attend OTA today. As they like to say for such things, OTAs are voluntary.

For all Peyton Manning has accomplished as an NFL quarterback, he has zero completions and zero touchdown passes in the 2013 regular season.

Montee Ball had all those carries and rushed for all those yards and touchdowns at Wisconsin. He has zip, zip and zip as an NFL running back.

Wes Welker compiled — get this — 672 catches in his previous six seasons with the New England Patriots. He has zero catches for the Broncos.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have moved on, even if their fans haven't.

That includes Rahim Moore, the safety whose big blunder led to Denver's heart-wrenching loss in the playoffs four months ago.

From same article -

Miller said nobody in the locker room holds Moore any more accountable for the playoff loss than they do themselves.

"Rahim made a few key tackles that day. He was all over the place. It was just a football folly," Miller said. "I don't blame Rahim. I blame me and Elvis: 70 yards to go, we know they're going to pass the ball. That's why they bring me and Elvis to close the game out and neither of us got to the quarterback. I took it hard."

too low? too high? discuss.

Weakness

None

The only category that Miller didn’t rank among the league’s Top 20 in terms of pressure rate this season was at getting unblocked pressure, and when you’re talking about Von Miller that’s hardly a surprise

Across his two seasons in the NFL Miller has recorded only 12 unblocked pressures, which is fewer than Aldon Smith (14) and Calvin Pace (13) recorded this season alone. When you dig further into Miller’s unblocked stats you find that he even makes the most of these rare occasions that he can get at the opposing pass rusher without anyone picking him up. Of those 12 unblocked pressures he has recorded, he failed to turn only one of those into a sack or hit of the opposing quarterback, further illustrating why you just can’t leave Miller unaccounted for in your blocking scheme. In his rookie season Miller converted his six unblocked pressures into five hits and one hurry, while this season he converted six into three hits and three sacks. Miller doesn’t get much of his pass rush for “free” but when he does, he makes you pay in full for not picking him up.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Quarterback Peyton Manning continued his offseason of giving back off the field with the announcement of more than half a million dollars in grants on Thursday.

The donations will be distributed to more than 90 youth-based community organizations in Colroado, Indiana, Tennessee and Louisiana in 2013.

“The mission and work of the PeyBack Foundation is something we are very passionate about,” said Manning, who is the foundation’s president. “We are pleased to add Colorado to our giving cycle and are proud of the positive impact that so many youth-based organizations in this state, as well as in Indiana, Tennessee and Louisiana, have on our communities.”

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The first full offseason after a rookie campaign is an important one for any player.

For a quarterback tagged as the heir apparent behind Peyton Manning, it's all the more crucial.

That's why Offensive Coordinator Adam Gase has been so happy with what he's seen from Brock Osweiler entering his second season in the NFL.

“I can see him taking another step as far as his command of the offense -- him being able to communicate with guys as far as, ‘Hey, this is what I need from you here,’" Gase said. "You can see him kind of working that way already on the field. When you’re a young guy, there are a lot of things going on, and he’s eliminated, ‘Well, is this guy supposed to be lined up here? Is this guy motioning?’ He’s not doing that anymore. It’s quicker for him. If somebody screwed up this year, he can fix it, and I think he’s taken a big step this year so far in Phase Two (of the club's offseason conditioning program).”

HOW WILL TYHE BRONCOS org. COMMEMORATE THE EVENT?
what will they do what SHOULD they do?
should they do anything?
I think a half time 'salute' would be appropriate
\ big screen video, sound bites from former players and coaches.
and it would be a grerat game to wear a retro uniform.

Does anyone have more information on Urlacher possibly visiting Denver? I heard his interview where he stated that money doesn't matter, only winning. I know its cliche. Woodson is visiting Denver on Weds. Any thoughts on either player coming to Denver??

Per Pro Football Talk, Urlacher is considering Denver... Thoughts?
