Denver Broncos @ San Francisco 49ers (-3)
Here is all my stats and writeups for tomorrows night game. My lean is Denver. Pick will come tomorrow with a final write up. Enjoy...
The Broncos travel to the Bay Area looking to improve their 10-2 (.833) record in preseason openers under Head Coach Mike Shanahan, who begins his 13th year as the Broncos’ head coach in 2007 and owns a 37-15 (.712) record with the club in exhibition play. Monday’s game in San Francisco will be the Broncos’ 10th consecutive preseason opener played away from Denver. Since 1995, the Broncos are 8-1 against the 49ers in the preseason. San Francisco is Denver’s most common preseason opponent, and the Broncos have a 17-14 record in those 31 all-time contests.
Shanahan is 37-15 in Preseason. Under Head Coach Mike Shanahan, the Broncos have posted a 10- 2 (.833) record in the opening game of preseason action dating back to 1995. Eight of those victories have come in games away from Denver (7 road games and the American Bowl in 1999). The Broncos posted a franchise best nine-game winning streak in preseason openers to begin the Shanahan era (1995-2003) before losing to Washington 20-17 in the Hall of Fame Game during the 2004 preseason.
Travis Henry starter at RB. Mike Bell Andre Hall and Cecil Sapp battle for 2nd this game.
RB Andre Hall: Like Henry, he ran with authority, and found success in goal-line work. He also secured the football well, although a right hamstring injury at the close of camp put a damper on his efforts.
QB Patrick Ramsey: Seemed to grow very comfortable in the offense as camp progressed, and his arm strength reminds you why he was a first-round pick in 2002.
QB Darrell Hackney:his arm strength and velocity was as advertised, and he showed grittiness in practicing
WRs Brandon Stokley, Domenik Hixon and Brian Clark: With Javon Walker, you expect big things, and he delivered, looking like his 2004, pre-knee injury self. Hixon, Stokley and Clark kept getting open and kept making the grabs, although Stokley was shelved by thigh problems the last few days of camp. Hixon showed a fearless streak, and was more than willing to go across the middle whenever asked — especially on the full-pad days. His next-day return from a first-degree shoulder separation also impressed coaches and onlookers alike. The Broncos begin their preseason away from Denver for the 10th consecutive year when the club takes the field in San Francisco on Monday... Denver owns a 23-24 all-time record in preseason openers (9-9 home; 11-8 away; 3-7 neutral) and has faced the 49ers three times in openers (2-1 record)...

Denver’s game against San Francisco marks the fifth time in club history that it will open its preseason against the team it faced in its regular-season finale from the previous year (last time: vs. L.A. Raiders in 1994)... Against the 49ers, the Broncos will play their first Monday night preseason game since 2004 when they lost to Washington 20-17 in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio... Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan (1995-Pres.) owns a 37-15 career record in the preseason, marking a .712 winning percentage that is the best by a coach in club history...
