John Elway says he's going to "stay the course" with Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph despite his 8-17 record.Elway told Broncos broadcasting partner Orange & Blue 760 that he's encouraged by the team's improvement despite its 3-6 record Kahale Warring Houston Texans Jersey , which is identical to last year's mark after nine games."At this point in time, we're going to stay the course. I think there's enough good things that are going on as far as us and the way that we're playing," Elway said. "I'm much more encouraged this year than I was last year."A year ago, the Broncos were in the midst of a franchise-worst eight-game skid that included its first shutout in a quarter century and a series of double-digit losses.This year, they've hung tough with some of the league's top teams, losing by a combined 16 points to the Texans (6-3), Rams (8-1) and Chiefs (8-1) twice.Brandon McManus missed a 51-yard field goal attempt as time expired in their crushing 19-17 loss to Houston on Sunday .Although the Broncos have lost six of their last seven, Joseph hasn't lost the locker room."I like the heartbeat of this team and the fact that they're competitors and they continue to work hard," Elway said. "As you know, they're very, very frustrated because they've put in a lot of hard work and they're not getting paid back for all the work they put in with the win."Earlier this season, Elway said it was difficult to make many changes midseason and he reiterated that Monday."You'd love to have the magic wand and throw the fairy dust on this thing and have some good things happen and get us over the hump Kahale Warring Jersey 2019 ," Elway said. "We've been in six one-score games, so I'm much more encouraged this year than I was last year because I think that guys are still playing hard and we're in games."Elway acknowledged last year that he considered firing Joseph after his 5-11 rookie seasonJoseph said this summer that he knew he had to get off to a fast start in 2018 for his job security but in the midst of another trying season, he said Monday his focus is on football, not his employment."That's not my concern right now, my future," Joseph said. "It's about the players and the coaches and winning football games."Joseph has taken heat for his clock management at the end of both halves Sunday, when McManus missed consecutive kicks for the first time in his five-year NFL career, a 62-yarder in the second quarter that led to a field goal by Houston instead and a 51-yarder as time expired that would have given Denver a 20-19 win.Joseph accepted the blame for the first one, saying he got greedy in going for the long field goal and leaving the Texans enough time to kick their own field goal for a six-point swing at the half."Put that on me," Joseph said. "I was chasing points. That's wrong."Joseph, however, staunchly defended his decision-making on the second one when he decided not to risk Case Keenum getting sacked again after the Broncos had crossed the Houston 35-yard line with about 40 seconds left.Phillip Lindsay ran up the middle for minus-1 yard and then Denver called timeout with three seconds left."I have no problem with how we handled that situation Kahale Warring Jersey Mens ," Joseph said.However, McManus is much more accurate from inside of 50 yards than outside.He's 23 of 30 in his career between 40 and 49 yards for a 77 percent clip.From 50-plus yards, he's just 13 of 25 for a 52 percent success rate."Our field-goal line was the 35-yard line. We got to the 33," Joseph said. "So, at that point, yardage-wise we were good. Obviously, with that pass rush, I wasn't going to drop back again and allow (Whitney) Mercilus, (Jadeveon) Clowney and (J.J.) Watt to hit the quarterback and the ball's on the turf and now we lose the game."So, my thought process was we have the yards we need. Let's try to pop a run and get five or six more yards and kick the field goal and win the game. But I wasn't going to expose our quarterback and our O-line to that pass rush one more time and now if they make a play, now we're all idiots, right?"It's easy Monday morning to say that wasn't right. But I'm very comfortable with that." HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans didn’t pick until the third round in this year’s draft.That hasn’t stopped them from getting plenty of contributions from their unsung rookies Youth Kahale Warring Jersey , led by Justin Reid, a third-round pick whose 101-yard interception return for a TD helped Houston extend its winning streak to seven games last week.Houston did not have a pick in the first two rounds after trading a first-round pick to Cleveland in 2017 to move up to get quarterback Deshaun Watson at No. 12. They previously sent their second-round pick in the 2018 draft to the Browns as part of the deal to get rid of Brock Osweiler.Because of those moves their first pick this year was at No. 68 and they used it to select Reid, a safety from Stanford. They got center Martinas Rankin and tight end Jordan Akins later in the third round; picked up receiver Keke Coutee in the fourth; and added tight end Jordan Thomas in the sixth.“Those guys have really been an impressive class just from a personal standpoint — maturity, work ethic and they really work hard to improve, and they understand their role on the team, their spot on the team,” coach Bill O’Brien said.“Guys in that class are very respectful of the veterans in the locker room. I think they’ve added a lot to the chemistry of the locker room.”Reid has appeared in every game for the Texans, has 53 tackles and leads the team with three interceptions. He might have had a leg up on most rookies because his older brother, Eric, is a six-year NFL veteran who recently returned to the NFL with Carolina. Justin said the two used to sit outside the house and break down film when he was still in college.He knows it’s sometimes difficult for lower draft picks to contribute so quickly, but believes the success of this rookie class has been important to Houston’s turnaround.“You need that,” he said. “All good teams you need your role players to play well. You need guys to step up in big-time situations and make some plays. That’s one of the best things about this team is we don’t know week to week who’s going to come up and make a big play … and when you have guys all around the field making plays and able to contribute to a team win White Kahale Warring Jersey , that’s when you know you have a good thing going.”Veteran defensive back Tyrann Mathieu agreed and raved about Houston’s rookie class.“I hear a lot of people talk about our leadership, obviously, coming from an 0-3 start, but I would probably say that our young guys have really helped us out a lot, too,” he said. “Just their character … just those guys showing up to work every day. That’s all you can ask for from rookies.”Rankin has appeared in each game with three starts, and Akins, Thomas and Coutee have also contributed on offense. Coutee has played a bigger role since Will Fuller suffered a season-ending knee injury, and he has 26 receptions for 273 yards and a touchdown.Akins has 11 receptions for 131 yards. Thomas has 10 receptions for 138 yards and has become a favorite red-zone target of Watson and has three short touchdowns.Coutee said a key to finding success as a rookie is making sure the veterans know they can count on you.“Just earning everybody’s trust and showing everyone that you can play and that you belong, as well,” he said. “Once you get these guys’ trust in this locker room, then you can make plays Ibraheim Campbell Jersey White , and that’s what a lot of our rookies are doing this year.”Reid credits his success this season to the work he puts in off the field and estimates that he spends 10-12 hours a week at home doing extra work to make sure he’s prepared for the games.“You should see my IPad and the notes that I take,” he said. “I take notes on everything and I study it, and I’m a film rat and I love to be able to see things on tape. And when you see it over and over on film, then you see it in the game, you can almost anticipate it. And then you combine that with the leadership you have on this team and just with experience with having reps, things just slow down more and more.”
