Broncos Journal: Why Denver is relying on a tight end with zero NFL catches to boost its passing-game production from the position

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:11:06 GMT

It’s not exactly breaking news that the Broncos have struggled to generate receiving production from the tight end position this year.There’s a logical explanation, too. The team hoped second-year man Greg Dulcich would build on his promising but injury-plagued rookie season and take the next step into being a dynamic down-the-field threat.Instead, the injuries got worse. Dulcich has played only in parts of two games so far this year and remains on injured reserve, where he’s been since Week 6.Two striking developments:• Dulcich is still No. 2 among Broncos tight ends in receiving yards at 25, behind Adam Trautman’s 131 but ahead of Nate Adkins (22) and Chris Manhertz (16).• The Broncos have decided that their best hope of juicing the production through the air is practice squad-er Lucas Krull, a second-year player who has zero NFL catches to his name.Perhaps Krull will end up just serving as a bridge while the Broncos try to get Dulcich back into game action. Dulcich has been doing...

New SF exhibit reveals origins of those unforgettable Botticelli paintings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:11:06 GMT

Museum director Thomas Campbell calls “Botticelli Drawings,” the new exhibit at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, “a tour de force of scholarship and connoisseurship.”That’s effusive praise for an exhibit, on view through Feb. 11, which gathers a scant two dozen images from the Renaissance master, just about all that have survived for 500 years.These drawings, whether classical and religious figures or a “head of a man in near profile looking left,” were the source of details in paintings and other large-scale works.But the exhibit’s modest title and scholarly approach serve as a window into Sandro Botticelli’s Renaissance, with a dozen paintings by him or attributed to his workshop also on view. They’re the vivid, dramatic culmination of the preparatory drawings.Of course his most famous paintings, “La Primavera” and “The Birth of Venus,” have not traveled from Italy to San Francisco. But there are discoveries to be made in the less familiar “Portrait of a Lady,” where the subj...
