A Picture is Worth a 1,000 words: Haley vs. McDaniels

After Denver defeated AFC West rival Kansas City by thirty (49-29), head coach of the Chiefs Todd Haley refused to shake Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels' hand in the middle of the field. Haley, obviously disgusted with the way Denver played (probably felt McDaniels was running up the score on his Chiefs), shaked his finger at Josh and walked away.
Earlier today Haley did apologize to both McDaniels and the Broncos franchise, but that doesn't mean he is truly sorry for what he did. What do I think of the incident? I think Haley should try not to be such a baby and maybe try stopping this from happening by playing better defense. I mean, come one, 35 of those 49 points came in the first half.
This was not a case of "running up the score." Rather a case of a team really sticking it to their inter-division counterparts. Nothing dirty about scoring 35 first half points. Sorry, Mr. Haley.

Broncos' Camp Littered with Injuries

Surprisingly, the progress of Denver's first round pick Tim Tebow has not been the talk of Broncos camp so far this month. Instead, it has been all the major injuries that have hit Josh McDaniels' team.

First it was the league sack leader from '09, Elvis Dumervil, who sacked opposing quarterbacks 17 times, who went down with a major injury and may miss the entire season. Dumervil's torn pectoral muscle, suffered during Wednesday's practice, will keep him out of Denver's lineup for quite some time.
Today, newly acquired running back LenDale White, who signed a two-year deal with the team on Wednesday, left practice early. His possible injury doesn't look serious, but it's not good to see either.

But the biggest news of the day in Denver is Jarvis Moss' broken hand. Moss, Dumervil's replacement at outside linebacker, is expected to miss at least two weeks. He should recover well from the injury but he will certainly still be limited when he does return to practice.

What Moss' early exit did do for the Broncos defense is give some other guys such as Akin Ayodele and Mario Haggan some reps at the position.

We will surely be keeping an eye on McDaniels' defense over the next few weeks and see how the other linebackers adjust to the early injuries.
