AFC Showdown Broncos vs Patriots

Filed under Denver Nuggets, Sports by on December 17, 2011 at 3:08 pm {no comments}

Denver BroncosHow big is the Broncos game this Sunday against the New England Patriots? It’s so big people are treating it almost like a playoff game.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots come to town to face Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium for what is considered a huge game in the AFC.

Tom vs. Tim. Brady’s Patriots offense is a scoring machine likely to test Denver’s defense to the limits. What’s interesting is how New England has pulled off a 10-3 record despite having the lowest ranked defense in the league as far as giving up yardage is concerned.

But make no mistake, the Patriots defense might give up yards but they are good at creating turnovers and stuffing teams in the red zone.

This is a great matchup indeed. CBS and NBC fought over the rights to this game.

Analysts said the Jets would beat the Broncos, they didn’t. They said the Broncos couldn’t win in a shootout but they did against the Vikings. They said the Broncos couldn’t beat the Bears, they did. Which is perhaps why you don’t always listen to what “they” say.

Tim Tebow doesn’t. They said he couldn’t start in the NFL. When he did it changed to he couldn’t win in the NFL. The Broncos record with Tebow starting this season is 7-1, without him it was 1-4.

The Denver Broncos didn’t listen to the skeptics. They believe. They believe they can win, right here right now. Tim Tebow retweeted the following tweet from defensive teammate Brian Dawkins.

ths is nothing new. But it's the truth T.E.A.M T ogether E verybody A chieves M ore. #BIDB Believe In Dem Broncos

Can the Broncos beat the Patriots tomorrow? They believe they can. I believe they can. I certainly wouldn’t bet against it happening.

The Dynamic Duo

Denver BroncosNo, it’s not Batman and Robin and sorry children it’s not Phineas and Ferb either. The dynamic duo we’re talking about is Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil and rookie linebacker Von Miller.

The two pass rushing specialists have a combined 16 sacks so far this season.

Von Miller was the Broncos highest drafted player in club history at #2 overall (they traded for John Elway who was selected #1 overall by the Baltimore Colts).

If Miller continues doing what he’s doing he is likely to become the NFL’s defensive rookie of the year. Elvis Dumvervil has been battling the injury bug since 2010 when he missed the entire season. He appears to be healthy now and the proof is his 5.5 sacks have all come in the last four games.

Dennis Allen, the Broncos defensive coordinator, has served under head coaches Wade Phiilips (Dallas), Sean Payton (New Orleans) and has done a good job of improving Denver’s defense this season. The Broncos defense is ranked #18 overall but that’s after a shaky start in the beginning of the season going 1-4.

Champ Bailey is having a quietly stellar season. Quiet because teams are not daring to throw to his side of the field. Stellar because he’s mostly been holding opposing team’s #1 reciever’s in check. Bailey has 2 interceptions this season which both came against Oakland when Carson Palmer dared to throw his way.

There’s much ado about Kyle Orton going to the Kansas City Chiefs since they will be playing the Broncos on January 1, the last game of the regular season. But if you’re Kyle Orton do you want to be playing against this Broncos defense and face the dynamic duo pass rush of Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller? I wouldn’t.

Police Using Tanks

The Tampa Police rolled out a police tank (pictured below) to deal with some protesters but the move left some people wondering if this is a little too much.

What do you think about the police using military equipment like tanks? Would it make you feel more safe or more threatened by the possibilities that it creates for the police?

Muhammad Ali and Tim Tebow

When Muhammad Ali became a professional boxer there was a lot of talk before his first championship bout against Sonny Liston that went something like this: “He can’t win a championship the way he fights.” “He’s fast but he has no defense he will lose to the top fighters.” “He can’t get away with the stuff he does, holding his hands low, moving backwards away from punches… he’s going to get killed.” In fact, The New York Times’ regular boxing writer Joe Nichols declined to cover the fight, assuming it was just a mismatch and by fight time, Ali, fighting then as Cassius Clay, was a huge underdog.

Uh huh. Rigggggght. Those were the words of professional boxing analysts before Muhammad Ali proved them all wrong. Almost every boxing scribe and expert picked Liston to win but it was Ali who would win the fight and the rest is history.

Sound familiar? How many times have you heard an NFL analyst say Tim Tebow can’t play in the NFL? Remember what Merrill Hoge had to say? That “it’s embarassing to think the Broncos could win with Tebow!!” Looks like Hoge is going to have to eat his words.

Last night the Jets defense did a wonderful job stuffing the Broncos offense and held the Broncos top running back in the game, Lance Ball, to just 18 yards.

The Jets special teams came up big pinning the Broncos at their own 5 yard line late in the game while protecting their 13 – 10 lead over Denver.

Then something happened, the unconvential quarterback, Tim Tebow, the one experts say can’t play in the NFL, passed for first downs, ran for more and then ran right past the Jets all-blitz defense for a 20 yard game wining touchdown.

John Elway clapped and whistled from his executive suite at Sports Authority Field but he looked as shocked as the Jets were.

Tim Tebow did it again. Thanks much in part to the Broncos defense which kept them in the game. In fact it was an Andre Goodman interception for a touchdown that tied the game at 10 apiece.

Tim Tebow, like Muhammad Ali, may not be prototypical, his passes might not look like the other top quarterbacks in the league, but at the end of the day the common goal is to win… and that’s what he does best.

Jets vs Broncos Won’t Be Boring

Denver BroncosThe New York Jet (5-4) fly into Denver to face the Broncos (4-5) for NFL’s Thursday night game.

The script couldn’t have been written any better. The Broncos are coming off back-to-back road wins over the Raiders and Chiefs to face a stiff Jets defense that has a head coach, Rex Ryan, who literally wrote the book (Coaching Football’s 46 Defense) which devotes an entire chapter on how to stop the option.

The new Broncos offense with Tim Tebow under center is averaging 220 yards rushing per game. That doesn’t worry Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis though, the only thing he says he’s worried about is getting “bored.”

Don’t worry Darrelle, this game should be anything but boring.

Call the Broncos offense ancient, call it a college offense, you can call it whatever you want but the fact remains the Broncos have turned their season around and are winning with it. It’s Tim Tebow’s style of offense and he’s good at running it.

Broncos head coach John Fox recently commented that “If we were trying to run a regular offense, he’d (Tim Tebow) be screwed.” He wasn’t bashing Tebow he was just being honest. To understand what he means Steve Mariucci said “If Tom Brady was running their offense he’d be screwed.”

Some key factors in the game for the Broncos will be the availability of Willis McGahee, their leading rusher who is considered “limited” for the game due to a leg injury he suffered in the first half against the Chiefs.

The Jets will be expected to put a heavy emphasis on stopping the run and will have to in order to win. The Jets offense will be facing a tough pass rush from the Broncos defense led by rookie Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil so Mark Sanchez is going to have to be on top of his game.

Tips On Buying Your Powerblock Dumbbells

Filed under Miscellaneous, Sports by on November 9, 2011 at 4:25 pm {no comments}

If you are setting up your own home fitness gym, the adjustable dumbbell set is the first equipment that you should have. But since there are several manufacturers of adjustable dumbbells, you need to familiarize yourself with what most professional trainers recommend. So, if you are ready to purchase your dumbbells, read these reviews about the Powerblock Classic 50 lb adjustable dumbbell set before you place your order online.

Compare Prices

On average, you need to prepare around $300 for your Powerblock dumbbells. This price may be lower or higher depending on the site where you get the dumbbells as well as your location. Since most sites offer free shipping, you can take advantage of it to get better savings. Although the amount you save may not seem much at first, the money you shell out is worth the functionality of the 50 lb dumbbells. When you have the set, you do not have to keep on buying new sets every time you get stronger. All you have to do is to adjust the plates to your desired weight and you are ready to move up in your training program.

Read Reviews

Reviews are important ways to check the performance of a certain product. For the Powerblock classic 50 lb adjustable dumbbells, they have received good feedbacks from customers. Unlike with the expensive Bowflex SelectTech, you get the same quality and elegant finish without paying too much. With only few clicks, you can change the weights to your desired level and adjust accordingly. This feature makes the Powerblocks better than the Cap barbell which requires different sets to train at different intensity levels.

If Possible, Try the Equipment First

Trying the dumbbells yourself first is a good way to test whether they fit you well. If you can do this, grab the opportunity. Check whether the grip of the Powerblocks are suited for your hands. If you wear weight gloves, the added padding in the gloves take up more space on the handle. Consider these factors before you decide to get the Powerblock classic 50 lb adjustable dumbbell set.

Check your Space at Home

Since the Powerblocks can adjust in length easily, they are very portable and take up less space. However, you may still want to check on your room space before buying these dumbbell sets. Also, since they can replace 9 different weights, you do not have to worry if you only have limited area at home. You can keep the powerblocks under your bed or inside your cabinets. If you can buy dumbbell racks together with it, that would be even better.

Allan enjoys writing up on a variety of subjects. Other than the above topic, he also likes to set up sites on different topics. Do check out his new site which covers useful information on dumbbells for sale.
