Skilly Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 From the Denver Post.com Champ Bailey isn't sure when he will work with the offense again, but he knows it's coming. Denver coach Mike Shanahan won't say when or how much the star cornerback will work at receiver but said there will be times Bailey works into the offense. "Yes, he will work in practice some with the offense at some point," Shana- han said. That is fine with Bailey, whose play at receiver last season went from a buzz in training camp to an afterthought by the end of the season. "Anything I can do to help the team win, I'll do," Bailey said. "I want to play all the time, so I'm looking forward to it again." Bailey focused on receiver in some of the developmental camp season. He played offense in several games early last year, but it was something the team went away from around midseason. Bailey had one catch for 11 yards last season. Bailey said he is heading into this season a better receiver than he was when he came to Denver in a trade with Washington for Clinton Portis. "I watch Rod Smith run routes every day," Bailey said. "That right there helps me. I think I'm smoother in my route running." The Broncos appear to be deeper at receiver, so having Bailey on offense likely would be in unusual packages. "It's probably best for a defensive player to play offense as a surprise or in different situations," Bailey said. "That's where you'll see me." ----------------------------- Hey Bailey, how 'bout not getting torched every time the other team throws your way? That would be helping the team. This idea is idiotic, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Misfit Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Didn't Shanny try this same gimmick with Deltha O'Neal? I think one of the reasons they dumped him was because he had no interest in playing WR. At least, that was his story when he came to the Bengals.

Bill Swerski Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Looks like Shanny's trying to pull a "reverse Belichick." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish Doggy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Must be something about playing in Denver. RBs turn to gold, and CBs turn to mud. Bailey used to be something until he got mile high. And Deltha played fine for Cincy last year.... had a nice INT right in front of Shanascam on MNF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) Rice may be a fossil, but his career represents the very best of what the NFL has to offer fans of football. And go Niners! Edited August 1, 2005 by yo mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 FWIW, Bailey played some WR in his College days with the Georgia Bulldogs. Caught a few passes from Quincy "Sniff Sniff" Carter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
