Broncos’ Bailey says Tebow is special player

Published: October 20th, 2011 | Tags: Champ Bailey, Denver Broncos, Kyle Orton, NFL Total Access, Open Locker Room, Tim Tebow

We’ll presume that Champ Bailey has seen almost everything there is to see in the NFL over 13-plus seasons. What he hasn’t seen is anything, or rather anyone, quite like Tim Tebow.

Even as Bailey claimed his seat on the Tebow bandwagon, the words of the six-time All-Pro and 10-time Pro Bowl cornerback carry some significant weight.

nfl.use('nfl-video', function (Y) { var video = new Y.NFL.Video.Player({ srcNode: "#video-player-09000d5d8234fdfc", align: "right", contentId: "09000d5d8234fdfc", related: "home", adSetting: "1", dartURL: "http://ad.doubleclick.net/pfadx/nfl.special/blog/home;s1=blog;s2=home;slot=inpage;nfl=ad;tile=3;sz=640x360;ord=?", playerName: "blog_small_embedded", render: true, size: "inline", uniqid: "09000d5d8234fdfc"});});

“Tebow is a special kind of a player; I’ve never seen a player like him in my whole career,” Bailey said on “NFL Total Access” on Thursday. “So it’s going to be interesting to see what happens, and I’m going to give it all I’ve got for the guy. I know he’s going to be out there giving it 110 (percent), so I’m going to go 120. That’s just the way I see it.”

Bailey, to his credit, doesn’t view the mid-season quarterback change through rose-colored glasses. He keeps it pretty real.

“It’s never a good thing to have to switch quarterbacks; it must mean that there is some inconsistency at the position, so it’s never a good thing,” Bailey said. “Nobody is going to like it, but if you feel like it’s going to give us a little something that we need at the moment, yeah, I think players are all for it.”

The saying is that you can’t fool the players. They see Tebow in practice daily, and if he gives the Broncos the best chance to win, the players are the first to know. We’ll see how that all works out starting Sunday in Miami.

Broncos missing Bailey, Moreno

Published: December 26th, 2010 | Tags: Champ Bailey, Denver Broncos, Knowshon Moreno, Parrish Cox, Week 16 injuries 2010

A couple of injury notes to pass along out of Denver.

The Broncos announced CB Champ Bailey is questionable to return against the Texans due to an ankle injury, while RB Knowshon Moreno is probable to return after sustaining a rib injury.

Bailey is standing on the sidelines with a winter cap on, and doesn’t look like he has any intention of returning to the game. He’s been replaced by Parrish Cox.

Moreno hasn’t played yet in the second half as the Broncos have gone with a combination of Correll Buckhalter and Lance Ball. According to the team, Moreno aggrivated an injury that limited him in practice during the week. He had been listed as qeustionable against the Texans.
