Special honor for Royal

The first couple of weeks of the NFL season people were wondering what happened to Eddie Royal, and his premium production from 2008?

Six weeks later and after several huge games, the Denver Broncos receiver will be named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October, the NFL informed the Broncos yesterday.

It marks the first time in club history that the Broncos have had multiple AFC Special Teams Player of the Month winners in the same year with kicker Matt Prater also earning that award in September.

“Eddie is very smart and is one of the smartest receivers I have been around,” said Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels. “He is an extremely hard worker and can do many different things well.”

Royal is expected to have a press conference tomorrow at Dove Valley.

Surprise, surprise: Orton, Favre out of this world

It’s the last thing we would have expected coming out of the preseason: Kyle Orton, who was error-prone and injured while the Broncos were losing all four of their exhibition games, is playing like a Pro Bowl quarterback for a Denver team that is 6-0 after Monday’s convincing 34-23 victory at San Diego.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, 40-year-old Brett Favre has found the fountain of youth in leading the Vikings to a 6-0 start. Despite first declining to come of retirement and then, after changing his mind once again, barely breaking a sweat in the preseason, Favre is flashing his gun-slinging style, rallying Minnesota to yet another come-from-behind victory Sunday over Baltimore.

Orton and the Broncos. Favre and the Vikings. Who has been the NFL’s biggest surprise so far this season? Here’s my top-5 list:

Broncos safety Dawkins’ passion comes from his faith

Defeat used to move Brian Dawkins to tears.

This is Dawkins the little boy from Jacksonville, Fla., we’re talking about. Even if he doesn’t cry after a loss anymore, a glimpse into Dawkins’ emotional childhood helps explain the visible passion he has brought to his 188 NFL games as a Pro Bowl safety.

“I’ve always been this way, passionate about the game,” Dawkins said. “As a kid, I would always cry after a loss. When you’re little, you’re always told to contain your emotions. Can’t show emotions.”

So Dawkins would keep his feelings pent-up until the painful heartache of defeat would be too much. The hurt would burst, and then came the tears.

Eventually, to the entertainment of his longtime fans in Philadelphia and his new followers in Denver, Dawkins found a way to release his passion. And it has to do with how, as a junior in high school, Dawkins announced he was giving his life to Jesus Christ.

He looks back now and says it was more “talk,” that it wasn’t until after his rookie season with the Philadelphia Eagles that he started to “walk,” forbidding himself from alcohol and pollutants that can ravage the body from within.

But regardless of how he restrained some behaviors, Dawkins always experienced liberation through faith. He would unload his energy in the minutes before the game with his demonstrative dances and pep talks from the football pulpit — otherwise known as the huddle.
