Broncos Team Report
Yahoo! Sports - 35 minutes ago
Britton Colquitt's ascent to being the unquestioned No. 1 punter for the Broncos—he's the only one left on the roster after the team cut A.J. Trapasso—is surprising only because of what the Broncos ask of their punter and their seeming desire to have a veteran handle it.
Denver does a lot of directional punting, and decided very early last year that Brett Kern was unable to handle that. The Broncos signed a veteran, Mitch Berger, to handle all of those responsibilities. Berger struggled, but it showed the Broncos are probably more comfortable with a veteran. Colquitt has never punted in a NFL game.
While Colquitt has a lot of talent, it's possible the Broncos could again look into bringing in a veteran if he struggles right away.
The Broncos moved rookie Zane Beadles from tackle to guard for the final few practices of the offseason, but they said a decision on Beadles' permanent position hasn't been made.
Denver could use some depth at tackle, with Ryan Clady and Ryan Harris coming back from injuries, but might also need a starting left guard.
"At some point, we will make a determination at where we think he has to stay, so we can focus on him improving and competing for a position," McDaniels said.
Linebacker Darrell Reid didn't practice this offseason, coming off a knee injury, and the injury is a blow to Denver's depth rushing the quarterback. The timetable for Reid, who played extensively on passing downs last year, to return is uncertain.
"He may be one of the few that goes into training camp and can't really participate right away," McDaniels said.
There will always be some struggles for a new quarterback in Josh McDaniels' offensive system. Brady Quinn and Tim Tebow each had some tough days in the offseason practices, so the coaching staff kept on them about correcting mistakes.
"You know I'm going to yell at them when they make mistakes and we're going to coach them hard," McDaniels said. "Right now we're showing them so many different things out there on defense, and a lot of times it's their first time seeing something. If that's the case, you're going to make some mistakes. That's what we go into the film room and work through.
Quote To Note:
"I think it's a no brainer he'll be here, because they know what they have."
—Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey on the prospects of a long-term extension for linebacker Elvis Dumervil.
