Training Camp

[randymon]

Although I've heard a lot of praise on many of the young guys from Kubiak,Dennison,etc and not much going Clarks way, I still agree he could be valuable replacement if any of these guys were to struggle or get hurt. Seems like when he had to jump in before he's played quite well. I just don't think he has the motor to play full season esp in Nov and later when things get tougher. If needed he can be better than serviceable but he needs to get spelled for end of season run to keep him fresh. Hopefully if he hangs,they only need him for spot duty and not every day role

Know your prob beat Cd and hopefully you got to have a few beers after practice ( maybe you still are)but can't to hear about your day,experience,etc and if you saw the cheerleaders and if they asked about me

Get the Broncos posters over here, fellas. You guys had a good board over there.

Draft Crazy, SouthStands and I are the first three. I think everyone else is waiting to see what happens once KFfL gets back online...

So just a heads up I am on my phone so could be some interesting auto corrects.

Training camp was incredible! If you have never gone I recommend it. I was two feet away from Von Miller at one point. No other venue would allow such an opportunity.

Anyway as for what I saw...Peyton is set to have one magical last season. The man was incredible. He had one bad goal line throw but everything else was not only a good choice but spot on where a WR would want it. His arm looks strong. He was throwing perfect spirals and has even abandoned the glove.

Oswelier was almost as impressive. He had a really good day. Not quite as pin point accuracy but his decision making was down right impressive. I have no problem saying he is the future QB of the Broncos for the next ten years. Now I know one practice shouldn't cause that kind of reaction but I saw an NFL QB and a good one at that.

Just so I am not a complete homer the team better hope the starting OL stays healthy. They looked pretty good but the 2nd string was down right terrible.

WR wise I do think the two guys who make it beyond the usual three will be Jordan Norwood and Jordan Taylor. Both were so much above the next group. Caldwell stands a chance because of experience but he had like 3 drops today and looked terrible.

Danny Trevathan looks fast for having just had his knee cap replaced. Both he and Marshall if the can stay healthy will be good!

I will maybe write more later but one final note in Joe Don Duncan is quickly becoming one of my favorite players. He definitely sticks out partly because of his size but also because he is a playmaker. Anyway glad I went and hope to do it again next year! Can't wait for Friday to see these guys live in a game!

How do the RB's look? I know CJ and Ball are locks to make the team but does anyone else stand out?

Been reading some very favorable reports about Hillman.

Further evidence that the team is intent on preserving Manning as much as possible: Peyton Manning to sit out Denver Broncos preseason opener - NFL - SI.com

Be interesting to see how our OL holds up this week vs Seattle.

Definitely looking forward to that. First starts ever for Sambrailo, Garcia, and Paradis. Seattle is obviously one of the best defenses in the league, so it is quite a challenge. Glad it's preseason. Hope it helps get them ready for Week 1.

Good to see ya made it George. One tip for this site it unlike KFFL it has alerts, you may want to to go through your setting otherwise it will send an alert everytime someone quotes you or what not which I found annoying. I just shut it off.

SSJ is posting on this site? I''ve missed that guy.

I know Orange Crush77 has also registered and is waiting for approval. I am going to send an email out to some others tonight. I like this board so far.. Seems like a good group.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Hammer and Cd, thanks for the responses. Just read through them. I will have any of the newbie KFFL posters PM Hammer, and thanks a lot guys. Appreciate. Trying to get familiar with this board. It seems pretty solid to me.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Thanks for the updates gentlemen. Very happy about Paradis potentially starting. Great kid and a very hard worker.

 

[randymon]

Glad to have ya guys over even if it`s just temporary. Finally some football. Got some gms on tonite and then of course Denver Fri. Besides O-line play, will be interesting to see which guys stand out that are fighting for spot on team or to move up in depth chart. Expect the O-line starter ( projected anyway) to get more playing time Fri but I`ll be surprised if Manning goes more than 1 series along with guys like CJ,etc. Very interested to see how Oz stacks up vs Seahawks 1st and 2nd teams if in a they play much as well. Not expecting smooth ride out there but hoping to see some fire and hustle on both sides of ball at least.

 

[SpringStein]

My bad on SSJ - I was thinking of Orange Crush and typed South Stands. Old age.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Oh yeah SpringStein is old and forgetful too.

Great updates guys.

 

[Orange Crush77]

Any word on how Shane Ray looks?

 

[Broncosr0k]

One nice thing about new coaches/system, preseason is more interesting.

I really want to see Osweiler and the offensive line on Friday.

A few things I'm looking forward to:
1. Special teams - I'm expecting a MAJOR improvement this year over last year. I thought we hd the worst ST coach in the NFL. Now we have, I believe, one of the better ones.
2. LB depth. There's been a loot of compliments thrown Zaire Anderson's way. Besides a cool name, it would be great to add depth to Trevathan and Marshall,, especially with their injury history.
3. Solomon Patton. Although Omar Bolden is currently at top of PR and KR, I'd like to see someone a little more dynamic there - and I think Solomon has a chance to be that guy.
4. Juwan Thompson - some tough decisions to be made coming up. This JT showed a lot last preseason and should have opportunities as I expect CJ and Ball to be mostly on the sidelines.
5. Kenny Anunike - heard him on an interview last week and was super impressed. Hoping to seee him step up and provide much needed depth on the DL.

How do you pm? I've been registered on this site for almost a year and I still need approval?

I am enthused about all of the players you mention, except I'm not familiar with Zaire Anderson. I think that Todd Davis and Steven Johnson are likely to start at ILB tomorrow night. I've read some good stuff about both of them in training camp this year and liked what I saw from Johnson last year.
