Former Cowboys player, NFL head coach Dan Reeves passes away at 77
Former Cowboys player, NFL head coach Dan Reeves passes away at 77 Throughout his long and successful career in the NFL as a player and coach, Dan Reeves participated in nine Super Bowls. A hard-nosed running back with the Dallas Cowboys who would go on to be a head coach for the Denver Broncos, New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons, Reeves has passed away at the age of 77. Reeves' family released a statement to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo: "Legendary NFL player and coach Dan Reeves passed away early this morning, peacefully and surrounded by his loving family at his home in Atlanta, GA. He passed away at age 77 due to complications from a long illness. His legacy will continue through his many friends, players and fans as well as the rest of the NFL community. Arrangements are still to be determined." Reeves remains the only person to have ever appeared in multiple Super Bowls as both a player and a coach. In eight seasons as a running back for the Cowboys, Reeves went to two Super Bowls and was part of Dallas' Super Bowl VI-winning team in the 1971 season – his second-to-last as a player. He would go on to become an assistant coach with the Cowboys and was part of three Super Bowl trips and one victory before moving on to a long and distinguished career as an NFL head coach. He was twice recognized as AP NFL Coach of the Year – in 1993 with the Giants and 1998 with the Falcons – but his days along the Broncos sidelines with John Elway at quarterback likely stand as the hallmark of his career. In 12 seasons with the Broncos from 1981-1992, Reeves piloted them to three Super Bowl appearances. He would move on to coach the Giants from 1993-1996 before taking over the Falcons' reins as head coach in 1997 until 2003. In 23 seasons as a head coach, Reeves concluded his career with a 190-165-2 record in the regular season. He led his teams to nine postseason berths and was 11-9 in the playoffs. A Georgia native, Reeves died three weeks shy of his 78th birthday. He played college ball at South Carolina as a quarterback, but went undrafted before joining Tom Landry's Cowboys in 1965. Dallas went 7-7 that season, but was a winner every season thereafter during Reeves' playing career. He finished his days on the field with 1,990 yards rushing and 25 touchdowns over eight seasons – his best showing coming in 1966, when the halfback tallied a team-high 757 yards and eight touchdowns. A versatile back whose career was ultimately slowed by a knee injury, Reeves also had 129 receptions for 1,693 yards and 17 touchdowns. Reeves, who began his coaching career as the Dallas backfield coach in 1975, was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator from 1977-1980 before becoming the Broncos' head coach in 1981 when he was only 37-years-old. Under the Reeves umbrella, the Broncos became an AFC powerhouse in the 1980s. In his dozen seasons with the club, Reeves captained Denver to six playoff appearances, five division titles and three Super Bowl runner-up finishes. In 1993, Reeves took over as the Giants' head coach and produced an 11-5 season in the first of four campaigns with Big Blue. His career concluded over seven seasons leading the Falcons. Reeves piloted the "Dirty Bird" Falcons of 1998 as the team finished the regular season at 14-2 and marched to the franchise's first Super Bowl before losing to Reeves' old squad, the Broncos. Dan Reeves leaves a lasting legacy in our game as a player and coach. His track record of success in Dallas, Denver, New York and Atlanta over several decades speaks for itself, marking a long and successful life and career in football," Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in a statement. "On behalf of the Atlanta Falcons I extend our condolences to Dan's family and friends as they mourn his passing." A member of the Broncos Ring of Fame, Reeves learned under the tutelage of Landry as a player and then a coach with the Cowboys. He then helped to build one of the most successful chapters in Broncos history. He was a success with every franchise he was a part of who played alongside and coached myriad Hall of Famers, and ultimately left a lasting legacy in nearly four decades in the NFL.
Denver Broncos Dumpster Fire VS Philadelphia Eagles
"This Game came down to dysfunction, culture and player personnel" -Kolby Elway just couldn't help himself. He just had to have Melvin Gordon and send Phillip Lindsay packing. Still liking that great decision? This was a beatdown between good player personnel vs bad. Until there is a cultural change at the very top of the Denver Broncos, nothing will ever change at Dove Valley. CORRECTION: Dre'Mont Jones in fact did get a coverage sack. However, it must be also said that sack came right after the Eagles ran the ball directly at Jones to pick up a 3rd down.
Denver Broncos VS Dallas Cowboys 2021 Film Comment
Not a full film study, but some glaring issues that need to be discussed. Is Sterns a better safety than Simmons? Would Broncos really miss Glasgow if Meinerz takes his place? Elway's picks not as good as Payton, Fangio, Munchak's? Correction it's 'Caden' Sterns NOT Justin Sterns.
Cleveland Browns Had Elway's Broncos Right Where They Wanted Them
The Cleveland Browns had so little respect for Elway's 'most expensive' defense. that they didn't even bother to defer the coin toss. This, Even with Case Keenum and a third string running back Yes, that's how poorly Mr. 'Director Of Player Personnel' himself has sunk this organization. Go ahead and fire ALL the coaches that will NEVER solve the 'real' problem that sits at very the top.
Denver Broncos VS Baltimore Ravens Film Study 2021
Why so many 3rd and longs Broncos? No sticking to what works. We've said it over, and over, and over and have gotten crap from clueless Broncos fans that Justin Simmons is not just the most over paid safety in the NFL but he is by far the most over rated thanks to Elway's pr machine. It's NOT coaching but lack of solid player personnel is abound with the Denver Broncos as both special teams and the interior D-line can't play a complete game. We continue to ask Broncos... Where is that interior D-line push,?Dre'Mont Jones another week, another NO SHOW

Denver Broncos VS Jacksonville Jags 2021 Film Breakdown
In this film study.. Red Fag Alert!! Broncos red zone third down woes drill down. Lawrence sucks donkey dicks. I could not do a Broncos D-Line deep dive because I was too distracted by all the sucking from this years #1 draft pick. After watching the film I ask... "Where is Simmons and Dre'Mont Jones? AND... Why is it that the players Elway wanted to get rid of are the ones that shine? Also positives as well.
Denver Broncos / New York Giants No Bullshit Post Game.
Many good things can be taken from the Denver Broncos win over the bumbling stumbling New York Giants. However, there are a few red flags as well.. Also, if Teddy Bridgewater keeps playing like this, will Broncos fans sacrifice him in order to get the pouty Aaron Rodgers whose going to take his ball and leave Green Bay to John Elway's place? Just wondering.
