BRONCOS WIN PRESEASON OPENER

Broncos-49ers Notebook: Opportunistic Defense Seals Win

By Charlie O'Brien

Even on a night when the Broncos defense gave up 386 total net yards, the unit was just good enough to hold on for a victory, as some timely interceptions and fourth-down stops proved to be the difference on a night where the defense bent often, but did not break.

In the second quarter, after the 49ers drove to the Broncos 34-yard line, safety Hamza Abdullah snagged a Trent Dilfer pass at the 14 and returned it 30 yards to kill the San Francisco drive.

On the 49ers' first drive of the third quarter, linebacker Nate Webster stopped running back Arkee Whitlock for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-1 at the Denver 27-yard line, stalling another potential scoring drive.

And in the biggest stop of the night, linebacker Louis Green batted down a Shaun Hill pass in the end zone on fourth down with less than 2 minutes to go in the game and the 49ers down by four.

The incompletion ended the 49ers' chances to take a late lead and allowed the Broncos to run down the clock and seal the victory. The Broncos finished the night allowing the 49ers to score only once when reaching the Denver red zone, including only one out of three goal-to-go situations.

Safety John Lynch said despite the win, there was much room for improvement.

"(Our play was) not up to our standard. They moved the ball with too much ease, particularly in the run game," Lynch said. "They ran the ball too well, so we've got to tighten things up. You don't make excuses, but we are in a new scheme, playing some different techniques, so we've got a ways to go. Sometimes things like this humble you and let you know we've got a lot of work to do."

OPENING SCORE:

The Broncos wasted no time in displaying just how potent their first-team offense can be.

Behind the arm (and legs) of quarterback Jay Cutler and some punishing runs from new running back Travis Henry, the Broncos marched down the field against San Francisco's first-team defense, and Henry's 1-yard run capped the 8-play, 67-yard drive and put the Broncos up by seven.

Wide receiver Quincy Morgan said scoring first is always key.

"It doesn't matter that it's a preseason game. That's our first-team offense against their first-team defense," Morgan said. "If we can put the ball down their throat on the first drive, that's a good thing. Any time you can do that, that's always a good thing."

Henry said the first-team's effectiveness actually cut down on the number of downs they were able to play.

"We were supposed to play 12 plays or so, but we went out, we drove the ball well and we got off to a great start," Henry said.

DEFENSIVE LINE PLAY: Drafting three defensive lineman on the first day of the 2007 NFL draft and signing veteran tackle Sam Adams showed the team's commitment to improving the play along the defensive front.

And while the 49ers gained plenty of yards, the Broncos notched four sacks, and second-year defensive end Elvis Dumervil was a difference maker.

With the 49ers threatening at the Broncos 20-yard line, Dumervil sped around the end to deflect an Alex Smith pass from behind in the first quarter and sacked Dilfer for a 7-yard loss in the second quarter.

Rookie defensive end Tim Crowder out of Texas also notched a sack, teaming up with fellow rookie end Jarvis Moss to chase Dilfer all the way to the sideline before Crowder brought him down for a loss.

RAMSEY'S ROLE: Backup quarterback Patrick Ramsey came to the Broncos to provide support for Jay Cutler and a capable reserve in case of emergency.

But after throwing a second-quarter touchdown pass to fullback Troy Fleming that ended up being the winning score, Ramsey deflected much of the praise to his stable of running backs and the first-team offense.

"It always makes your job a lot easier when you're able to run the ball effectively," Ramsey said. "(The first team) did a great job. They ran the ball effectively, Jay made a good throw (to Javon Walker), but I think they did a really good job. They went down there and got a lead for us, and that's always great."
