Tom Nalen. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski) We’ve seen the departure of Jason Elam and the retirement of Matt Lepsis and Rod Smith this off-season. And with those three departed, we were left with only one player from our last Super Bowl roster, Tom Nalen. That’s right, of our 1998 Super Bowl team only Tom [...]

- I thought Ryan Torain looked good during the first day of camp. Apparently, he’s been running stronger and taking some harder hits in camp, but can he be part of the solution to the Broncos running game? Mike Klis thinks so. - Jason Elam is feeling weird these days. I wonder if it’s the new uniform? - D.J. [...]

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Jason Elam is still getting used to the uniform. The red jersey. The black helmet with the Falcons logo on each side. Otherwise, he's got no complaints about going from one of the NFL's flagship franchises to one that is starting over yet again.

A last-second field goal by Jason Elam ended an entertaining Week 1 game between the Broncos and Bills. Although the larger story was Buffalo tight end Kevin Everett, who was immobilized following a helmet-to-helmet impact with Domenik Hixon. Everett tackled Hixon on the opening kickoff of the second half, and in the process damaged his neck to the extent where he was incapacitated. The game was stopped...

That’s how former Bronco Jason Elam describes a kicker’s life in the NFL. At least that’s what Elam told reporter turned kicker Stefan Fatsis when Fatsis packed his bags to attend training camp in 2006. Fatsis, 43, was given permission by Broncos owner, Pat Bowlen, to lace em’ up and attend camp despite his size (5′8”, 170lbs), and lack of football playing [...]

Denver center Tom Nalen had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Friday and the Broncos expect him to be ready for training camp in July. The 14-year veteran has played in 194 games, including 188 starts. Only two Broncos have played in more: kicker Jason Elam, now with the Falcons, who played in 236 games, and retired quarterback John Elway, who played in 234. The Broncos have a veteran backup in...

Like a lawnmower stored for the winter, the "popular" Great Roster Breakdown posts are due to come back and require a lot of energy and swearing before they get going again. Joy for all of us! What I'm asking for is what position we should be looking at now. I've done kicker and punter (Jason Elam has since taken over kicker, of course), but any of the others are now open for business. Give me a direction...

If Matt Prater is to be held to Jason Elam's standards, then he'll kick a 63-yard field goal some day, just as Elam did in 1998.

A lot of fans, including myself, were scratching their heads at Jason Elam's departure this offseason. As we all know, he’ll be kicking for Atlanta now, while the Broncos will be relying on a few untested guys to battle over camp and win the job. The Broncos had an offer on the table [...]
