News From the Front

Daryn Colledge (boy, he will be missed after this seaon) has been invited to play in thie year's Senior Bowl. He joins Matt Hill (2001) as the only Broncos invited to that all-star talent showcase (so far). It's a pretty good indicator that the offensive tackle will go pretty high in the NFL draft.

Did I mention kicker Tyler Jones is back with the Chicago Bears? He was invited back onto the practice squad, but hopefully it means playing time later this season. His talents should not be overlooked.

True freshman Orlando Scandrick is a pretty cool character. After scoring 8 points on blocked kick returns (and getting burned for a TD and commiting a crucial pass interference call) during the Hawaii game, the conerback had this to say, "I expect to be an All-American before I leave here." And later, "If I had to grade myself, I think I played at least a C-minus, close to a D."

Wow. Confidence and humility. What a combo. If that effort was a C-minus or a D, imagine what his 'A game' would be like.

How ironic. I found out today Hawkins and Peterson were assistant coaches of Portland State's TimWalsh at Sonoma State and Portland State. Almost makes you not want to blow PSU out....
