Rahim Moore compares it to life Ebbs and flows, good and bad. The biggest thing to remember is not the mistake itself, but how one goes about approaching that mistake and how one goes about learning from it. Rahim Moore didn't lie in bed and wallow over what might have been, he picked himself up and went back to work....the very next day. As a teacher it is uncanny how many times a student will make a mistake only to dwell on that mistake at the expense of the present and future. When I'm teaching music I always tell my kids, mistakes happen--but you can't let them keep you from going forward. Just move on and concentrate on what is coming. I hear a lot of that same mindset and philosophy when I hear Rahim answer questions. What's done is done, there are no time machines, there is no eraser. There is a tool however and it becomes the mistake itself. Rahim Moore had a strong internal and external support system to cope with that mistake Over and over, he mentions the support he received not only from in house teammates, but also from other pros and safeties from around the league. He rattles off names such as Peyton Manning, Champ Bailey, Eric Berry, Earl Thomas, and Ryan Clark as those who offered support and guidance while he dealt with and coped with the fallout from that play. It should tell you a few things, first of all, our locker room is united in it's cause and purpose. No finger pointing, no accusations of failure, no shaming whatsoever. They came together and supported their brother in his time in need. Second, fans made more out of that play than his own contemporaries. Our fandom can go through some dark places at time--all too eager to point the finger when things don't go right. Well I'll go ahead and point another one, shame on us. Mistakes are part of life, it's time to move on. you start to believe there is something wrong with you and you believe your current state is justified, not merely because of the outcome, but because you were predestined to get there in the first place. -Bronco Mike He mentions going out in public and being told bad things about his mistake. All from random people he never met--anyplace where his face was recognized. He tells of walking on and not addressing those words of discouragement. Shame on us. He tells of putting those words in the back of his mind, not as tools for discouragement, but as tools for vindication. You can tell he badly wants to prove himself and improve as a player, and will strive to be the best. He will succeed, because he wants to. In everything there is a balance Ever been at a low point in your life? Sure you have. What have you done? If you're anything like me, you replay those events in your head over and over and over until you start to believe that the mistakes you made are part of who you are as a person--they become your identity. Then you start to believe there is something wrong with you and you believe your current state is justified, not merely because of the outcome, but because you were predestined to get there in the first place. Misery loves company and there's nothing more miserable than letting recent negative OR positive events define who you are as a person, re-writing your entire history with an air of false institutional bias. Instead of replaying that moment, and other moments of failure time after time until the events ran together and told a convincing yet false tale about himself as a player, he also took time to watch film of the successes he had--careful to avoid the assuring warm blanket on the other end of the spectrum, Rahim Moore knows exactly where he is, where he wants to be, and what it will take to get there. My biggest takeaway from his words is that Rahim displays a healthy amount of swagger and self-awareness. He names things such as his drive, determination, and work ethic and defines the end result as "sky's the limit"...yet at the same time answers "everything"

This offseason, the Broncos have taken their camaraderie beyond the playing field. “I think it’s important to get to know guys and spend time with guys not just out here at practice or in the weight room,” quarterback Peyton Manning said. “When you’re over here in the weight room and in practice, it’s pretty much just work and you listen to the coaches, listen to the strength coaches.” A large group of players went to a Colorado Rockies game, Peyton Manning took wide receivers Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker to Duke for some on-the-field work and the full team will participate in a golf tournament for the second consecutive year. “It’s probably a good thing it’s nine holes and not 18,” Manning laughed. “There were 40 sets of rental clubs last year, which tells you how many non-golfers we have on this team. But it’s fun. Everybody plays with a different position—I’ll play with a defensive lineman and a linebacker.” Getting together as a team away from the Broncos’ Dove Valley headquarters can help translate to on-field success as the chemistry between the players grows. “It’s little things like that, that I always thought made a difference,” Manning said. “The good teams that I’ve been on in the past were guys that got along, guys that went to dinner, that hung out and spent time away from the playing field (together). I’ve always thought that’s important. I think it can win a game for you somewhere down the road.”

The Denver Broncos players and fans have something in common -- they'd like to see Charles Woodson in Denver. The Broncos failed to land Charles Woodson during his free agent visit to Dove Valley last week, but that hasn't stopped a few notable players from commenting that they'd still like to see the future Hall of Famer be brought into the orange and blue fold. Two of those commenting -- Peyton Manning and Champ Bailey -- are future Hall of Famers themselves. "We're always looking to add great players," quarterback Peyton Manning said. "That has been pretty evident since the time I've been here that management is always looking to add excellent football players through the draft or via free agency. I had a chance to visit with Charles when he was here last week and certainly, that’d be a great addition to our team. "I know there is the business side of it that comes into play, but there's no question that any time you can add good football players at any position, I think that's always a good thing." "I'm all for it," said cornerback Champ Bailey. "I think any team in this league would love to have him." But the most interesting player to campaign for Woodson in a Broncos uniform is the man who was beaten badly on the football field while wearing one. He's a player who would compete with and play with Woodson should he sign with the Broncos. He's safety Rahim Moore. "I hope that we get him because I’m all about competition. I never run from it, ever," Moore said. "I mean, Charles Woodson, I grew up watching. So, if they bring him in, I’m going to be excited. I’m going to learn everything that he does and I'm going to compete as if he’s been here since I've been here." Moore is fascinatingly candid. He enjoyed a phenomenal improvement from 2011 to 2012, but those strides forward were overshadowed by his one stumbling backpedal in the fourth quarter against Baltimore. Despite the outcry from fans and the constant reminders in the media, Moore hasn't let his mistake bring him down. He's learned from it. "I've grown up as a man," said Moore. "I'm 23 years old, but I feel like I’m ahead of my time, meaning that I’m growing, I'm learning through this whole process and everything I've been through. So, that's what it's all about." Woodson is scheduled to visit the Oakland Raiders Tuesday. The Broncos have an open offer to the free agent defensive back. If a welcome environment plays a factor, Woodson can take comfort in knowing that both the fans and his would-be teammates are eager to welcome him in Denver.
