Entering the Offseason…
We are headed into the offseason and the speculation about offseason moves has already begun. This is a time when Broncos news slows to a crawl and participation at BroncosFreak and other forums thins out until training camp.
For many, it is tedious to sift through the message boards and news sites to keep up with all of the moves in the offseason. That is the beauty of blogs like this one that I hope you can take advantage of. I am planning to post here when there is notable news about the Broncos throughout the offseason. By subscribing to the RSS feed (see below) of this site, you can have the news automatically delivered to you.
Many sites, and almost all blogs, produce something called an RSS feed (learn more). You can use an RSS reader to automatically give you updates when any of those sites are updated. Rather than visiting each site, you can go to your news reader, and it will consolidate the new posts of all of your subscribed feeds in one place.
There are some feed readers that you can download and install on your computer. Firefox and Safari also have the built in ability to read feeds. Another option is to use a web-based feed reader, like Bloglines, which is what I use. Because it is a website, I can follow all of the RSS feeds I read by visiting Bloglines from any computer. You simply subscribe to the feeds you are interested in, and everytime you visit your feedreader, it shows you which ones have been updated.
I have include some quick links to subscribe to the feed in some of the major feed readers for this site at the top of the righthand column. Also here are links directly to the feeds if you want to subscribe with Firefox, Safari, or a desktop feedreader:
- OrangeandBlueBlog Feed - all of the entries that appear here
- FreakFeed - a combination of all of the major news feeds about the Broncos
Also, this is a community site that is open to anyone who wants to contribute an entry, so feel free to do that if you find something worth passing along to everyone.

Entering the offseason we have several glaring needs.
1. We need 2 effective passrushing defensive ends. This is critical to our quest for the trophy.
2. We need a gamebreaking wide receiver. Rod is very dependable, but not gamebreaking. Lelie is not dependable enough. Terrell Owens looks like the perfect choice, baggage or not.
If we fill these needs with quality players, the Super Bowl will be ours to take.
Some other needs, though not as glaring, are offensive line and safety.

Bummer we didn’t get to hear what you have to say…I have a four word limit on comments that are all in caps.

I hope the broncos address their need a safety this year. John Lynch is getting old, Ferguson isn’t that great. I think we could use either a free agent pick up or a 1st or 2nd round draft pick there.
I also would like us to trade for Ricky Williams. I would rather have him than T.O. Rod Smith has another year in him and Ashley Lelie will be just fine. I also like the pick up we got in David Terrell. More than anything we are a running team. Just think, Ricky Williams behind our O-line and the Broncos running package. Should be nice, as long as Ricky wants to play.
