Which new Bronco are you most looking forward to seeing today?

No one get injured please.

Missed you sneakers.
#noinjuries

[BroncoWave]

Not a new Bronco, but I am most looking forward to seeing Brock play with the starters, and against a good defense to boot. Time to start seeing what this guy has.

[VonDoom]

Oh man, it's really happening.

Since this game starts at the unholy time of 10:00 for me, I'll probably only watch the first half live and catch the rest tomorrow.

[Dzone]

Shane Ray! Is he even playing?
Cody Latimer. Sambrailo . Max Garcia. Paradis. Oz. Virgil Green.

[Dzone]

Heres a list of whos in and whos out tonight. Sorry if this has already been posted

I'll be fun to see "the future" in Brock, Anderson and the OL. Good test against Seattle. Can't wait to see the entire Defense as well.

[SR]

Hopefully Kubiak doesn't handcuff Oz with super conservative play calling like Fox always did. Let the kid show what he's got.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Last night, I caught some of the SD Dallas game. Fouts was one of the announcers. The other announcer ask Fouts if the Chargers could contend in the division. Fouts said something like - Yes, they can. Denver will stumble along the way." AND then he said - "They have a 97 yr old quarterback". Well Fouts, IMO you have replaced Phil Simms on my list of JERKS.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I'm eager to see how the oline handles the physicality of Seattle's front 7.

I heard that too. He expected us to stumble along the way for so,e unknown reason other than Peyton is 97 years old now. Obviously the rest of the team is too. I never had any issue with fouts but I don't like him now. I really dislike any non bias announcer.

[tomjonesrocks]

At 7P Pacific this is going to be a hell of a slow crawl getting here.

Always interested in Brock in preseason but will be focused on Latimer if he plays much.

Hope Shane Ray plays a half as well.

Cool story but Rivers isn't exactly a spring chicken heading into his 34th birthday and has lingering injuries of concern of his own.

Plus that relocation is going to hang around their head like an albatross all year.

Fouts has always hated Denver. Nothing new there.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Fouts has always hated Denver. Nothing new there.

I know that, but would it not have been a little more professional to say something like - Manning is up there in age, rather than saying they have a 97 yr old QB

[Davii]

GO BRONCOS!

I'm looking forward to seeing Brock play in Kubiak's system, looking forward to seeing this young offensive line. Hopefully the zone heavy scheme helps and they are able to gel and play well. I CAN'T WAIT to see this Defense, even if it's short Ware, our ILBs, etc.

[Dzone]

Hope Brock is better than Garopollo

[Rick]

I want to see the run game flourish, Brock look like a future franchise guy, Latimer and Green show they can be major contributors. Green already is as a blocker, but I want to see it as a receiver.

That too much to ask? :)

[Ziggy]

Let the legend of Joe Don Duncan begin! I'm also looking forward to seeing the young Oline, Shane Ray, Malik, Kilgo, and a few of the other young guys. Wade has never gone vanilla in the preseason like most D coordinators do. There will be blitzing tonight. I can't wait to see how fast this D looks against another team.

[underrated29]

Shane.
Brock
Backup rbs
Run D- worried about
My Man Jo Dstruction Duncan

[NightTerror218]

I'm eager to see how the oline handles the physicality of Seattle's front 7.

Seattle just cut one of their main DT this season due to all the new Co tracts. McDaniels was cut who was the main run stuffing DT. Bennet is the guy to watch out for. Seattle is always aiming to hit hard no matter what so I hope no injuries.

[TXBRONC]

Hope Brock is better than Garopollo

Me too. I watched some of the Patriots vs. the Packers and he wasn't very good.

[NightTrainLayne]

Here we are, finally.

I propose that we find another picture for Sneakers to post in the beginning post of the Game Day thread before the regular season starts. I love it, but the current one is going on 3 years I think. We need a new Game Day Thread logo for this season.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

from article:


2. Broncos arrive in style

Yesterday, the Denver Broncos made their arrival in Seattle to prep for their first preseason game on Friday.

Even though the travel dress code was described as ‘casual’, the Broncos turned the DIA tarmac into a runway:

rest of article and photos of some of the players at DIA. If I remember correctly, when the Broncos traveled under Fox, he made them wear suits.

Cmon. Really? Another almost 2 hours?

Almost as bad as the last Rousey fight.

Let's go already.

At 4:00 on local ch9 news, Rod Mackey and Mike Klis were reporting from Seattle's stadium, and it was raining there then. Right now, they are again reporting on the pregame show, and it is STILL raining.

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 4m

PFM is a creature of habit. Even in a game he will not play, he's out on the field in full uniform taking pregame reps.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Because it's Seattle.

According to the guys there reporting, up until now, they have not had much rain there.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 2m

Starters in place of usual starters: Ray, Davis, Johnson, Roby, Caldwell, Osweiler.

And I was hoping to see Manning light up the Seahawks for 5TD..



...rushing :D

[Az Snake]

After watching Oz's entire career here at ASU I wasn't very impressed.
I didn't care for his demeanor or decision making on the field.
This was in the pass happy, wild west Pac-10 at the time.

Oz has been coasting with Denver taking in a nice check.
I hope Brock has learned a lot and I hope he does well.
I'm glad he will be playing with some of the starters.
Time to see if he has what it takes to play in the NFL.

I know many argue that a player's college career has no impact on his NFL days.
I can only size him up by the attitude he displayed.

I think Mr. Elway already knows exactly what to expect of Oz.
We will see tonight if Oz is the "future" of which some of you speak.

I'm so glad the season is almost here.
I want to see this O-line gel as a unit and become a well oiled machine !

GO BRONCOS !!!

[SR]

Still a drought. Desperate water conditions. Ehh. It's still Seattle.

We're in a "drought" here too but we've had 42" of rain this year. That term is loaded.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Von Miller is going the thrive in this defense. #obviouscomment

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 12s

Baby Blockers in w Latimer, Norwood, Caldwell, Casey in at FB... CJ at RB.. Brock at QB

[tomjonesrocks]

Von Miller strip sack fumble 2 plays in. Yawn.

[FanInAZ]

3 points!

[sneakers]

We are winning!

[VonDoom]

Our offensive line looks good already ...

[NightTerror218]

Virgil green epic fail on block on Avril, leads to Oz sack. Bad chip block.

80 was also in on the block but Green pealed off for play action.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 5 seconds ago

And that's why you have PFM watch the first game behind a new offensive line. Some confusion there.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 44s

Ryan Harris plays with attitude, nastiness,. But personal foul on kick is a bad look

[sneakers]

broncos still suck at kick coverage

glad some things in this world are constant

[pnbronco]

Dang it.....come on D

[NightTerror218]

Tony Carter got called an a hold on his first snap in the game.

[pnbronco]

Nice tackle Stewart. Good job Todd....

[tomjonesrocks]

Seattle playing starters. Could be 7.

[SR]

Nice tackle Stewart. Good job Todd....

Stewart is a thumper. I like it

[sneakers]

good job broncos defense

[pnbronco]

Woo hooo Malik and Ray!!!!!

[tomjonesrocks]

Encouraging D showing.

[VonDoom]

Nice job by our D there. Jackson showing his worth

[NightTerror218]

Encouraging D showing.

DL looks great. A lot of penetration.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 1m

Great pressure there by the rookie Shane Ray to lead Wilson right into Malik's mitts.

[dogfish]

hola. . .

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 1m

Looks like #Broncos opening this series in double TE (Green, Casey) and a FB (Joe Don). Line remains the same.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 3m

Weird KOR: Juwan Thompson and James Casey as return men... No Bolden tonight.. This would be the Jumbo package. Joe Don lead blocker

[pnbronco]

Dang it CJ is limping!!!

[sneakers]

wew montee ball

[pnbronco]

Nice protection and pass.....

[pnbronco]

1st down.....good job

[FanInAZ]

Oz looking crisp, simple passes but on target

today I learned that Virgil green can catch the ball

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Seattle still has starters in. Denver has backup WRS in.

[SR]

That kick looked effortless for McManus

[VonDoom]

Like what I'm seeing from Brock so far. The OL isn't doing him any favors. Nice kick by McManus too

[CrazyHorse]

McAnus split the uprights, right down the middle!

[Northman]

Can only see the stats. Oz doing alright.

[NightTerror218]

McManus nails 52 yarder. He may get the job.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 56s

Osweiler has played well under pressure . Taken big hits from Avril, Irvin and Marsh.. Oz 5-6, 37 yards, Virgil 3 for 23.

[NightTerror218]

Can only see the stats. Oz doing alright.

Yes. Staying in pocket, goes through his reads. Doing well at moment.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 43s

CJ hurt it on fumble. He jogged off under his own power..

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 1m

RB CJ Anderson has ankle injury... appeared to be left ankle.. Return questionable. Which means won't return in preseason

[pnbronco]

Shaq....wow :eek:

[Az Snake]

Barret is beastly !!!

[CrazyHorse]

Our pass rush is nasty!

[NightTerror218]

DL is just dominant. 1 sack and 1 QB hit that caused incomplete pass. Both hits by Barrett.

I am in love with Wade Phillips.

[VonDoom]

Shaq Barrett looked like a man among boys on that series

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 58s

Shaq Barrett turning tackle Jesse Davis into a turnstile.. Barrett has taken advantage of opps, Wade Phillips said. Same again tonight.

[NightTerror218]

Oz just threw his worst pass, under threw but impressive catch by #14

[pnbronco]

Nice run Ronnie.....

[tomjonesrocks]

Nice 1Q overall.

[NightTerror218]

Nice run Ronnie.....

Hillman, ball, and CJ have all had runs over 10 yrs now.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 1m

Tremendous block on that Hillman run by the rookie Max Garcia.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 40s

BO in that first quarter 6-7, 56 yards, 1 sack

[NightTerror218]

Oz just side stepped a pass rusher up the middle virtually unblocked. Manning would have been laid out.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 10s

This offense is much more RB-friendly. Actually run plays with actual run-blocking.

[NightTerror218]

Denver is testing out the left side of their line. Most runs going to the left with a few up middle.

[pnbronco]

Love seeing Montee run....:D

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 43s CJ hurt it on fumble. He jogged off under his own power.. Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 1m RB CJ Anderson has ankle injury... appeared to be left ankle.. Return questionable. Which means won't return in preseason

Now he will get 3 weeks off to heal up....hope it's enough time.

lol kick coverage

[NightTerror218]

lol kick coverage

Both returns are from barth kicks. 48 yr return and 103 td return.

[Northman]

Bleh. Seems like too many fgs. Hawks still playing starting defense.

[SR]

Both returns are from barth kicks. 48 yr return and 103 td return.

Which is completely irrelevant.

[dogfish]

good lord! nice to see our coverage teams still play like a bunch of high-schoolers. . .

:tsk:

[NightTerror218]

Bleh. Seems like too many fgs. Hawks still playing starting defense.

No passes called in red zone yet. There was one but Oz was sacked on missed block.

[Rick]

Annoying that they give us an idiot commercial, then come back out and a kickoff for TD happened during the commercial. Ugh,

[NightTerror218]

Which is completely irrelevant.

Well one was a short kick that Lockett caught on the run and was at full speed quick.

[tomjonesrocks]

So I guess the special teams is dogshit.

[VonDoom]

Which is completely irrelevant.

Not completely. No hang time on Barth's kicks

[VonDoom]

Annoying that they give us an idiot commercial, then come back out and a kickoff for TD happened during the commercial. Ugh,

I'm watching on NFL Network. I saw the whole thing, sadly

[NightTerror218]

Deep pass to caldwell, on the money but bobbled by caldwell and dropped.

[chazoe60]

Os is looking good.

[SR]

Well one was a short kick that Lockett caught on the run and was at full speed quick.

It was a short kick because Denver was penalized and kicked from 15 yards back. Anything else?

[pnbronco]

Oz and Cody are looking good.... and we have a bat down.....no more please....

[NightTerror218]

Os is looking good.

3 incomplete passes, a throw away, a caldwell drop and a tipped pass.

[sneakers]

4-4

[pnbronco]

Brandon's kick is good.....

[VonDoom]

Every receiver looks better than Caldwell so far. OL is looking better at pass protection the last couple of drives

[NightTerror218]

It was a short kick because Denver was penalized and kicked from 15 yards back. Anything else?

Still a short kick 15 yards further back and he kicked to what the 20-25 yard line.....kick still would not have made it to the end zone.

[SR]

Every receiver looks better than Caldwell so far. OL is looking better at pass protection the last couple of drives

I think the OL looking better has more to do with Seattle's second string defense being on the field than it does with Denver's offensive line.

[TXBRONC]

Overall I like what I see. There is still plenty to improve upon but I like what I see so far on offense and defense. Special teams needs work.

[NightTerror218]

Want to see some kilgo

[SR]

Hmmm. A long return on a McManus kickoff. Guess he doesn't have any hang time either.

[FanInAZ]

When in the blood world is K/P coverage issues going to be addressed :mad:

I swear its been at least 10 years since that last time we've been just decent at this :mad:

[SR]

Still a short kick 15 yards further back and he kicked to what the 20-25 yard line.....kick still would not have made it to the end zone.

No, the returner caught it on the 10, so if that kick wouldn't have been 15 yards back it would've gone in to the end zone.

[NightTerror218]

Carter may lose a spot on team. Missed tackles, and holding penalties.

[NightTerror218]

Hmmm. A long return on a McManus kickoff. Guess he doesn't have any hang time either.

That was horrible coverage watched several broncos stop in front of blockers and get caught flat footed. Coverage is bad but barth is not know for his kickoffs.

[SR]

That was horrible coverage watched several broncos stop in front of blockers and get caught flat footed. Yeah no kidding, which is exactly what happened on the other two long returns. Has zero to do with the kicker was my point. So thanks for that.

As much as I think some of that was on Barth, the coverage team has been atrocious. No argument from me there.

Patton got his shot on punt return....fumbles but got on it again.

[SR]

As much as I think some of that was on Barth, the coverage team has been atrocious. No argument from me there.

My point was blaming a kicker for shitty coverage is someone cherry picking an argument. Or just bad football knowledge.

Hey under what was that about your sleeper to make the team?

[SR]

I said barth was part of reason...short kicks. He is not only guy on st

Yeah. Except they weren't short kicks. One was three yards in to the end zone and one was from 15 yards back and still got to the 10. So, good kicks.

[NightTerror218]

Hillman is running very well

[pnbronco]

Good job team.....TD!!!!!!

[FanInAZ]

Manning couldn't have done that drive any better! :2thumbs:

[SR]

Brock moves in the pocket really well. He's got good awareness and great feet. Very encouraging so far tonight.

[VonDoom]

Five possessions, five scores. Brock looks good. All the RB's seem to be running with confidence.

[NightTerror218]

Oz TD to Green. Oz has been antsy to throw down field finally got to. Forced it a couple times but has settled for check downs and crossing routes. Great first half for him. Best I have seen him. Throwing it around to different guys and going through reads, sliding in pocket and stepping up.

[Dzone]

Oz to the Hulkster -Touchdown!
Virgil is so much better than the china doll Julius thomas, who already has a broken finger, probably out for the year

[NightTerror218]

Five possessions, five scores. Brock looks good. All the RB's seem to be running with confidence.

OL doing well, even last possession with more passing.

[NightTerror218]

Oz first half stats: 15 for 20 151 yards and 1 TD.

[Dzone]

Watching Sambrailo. Looked good opening hopes for hillman. Already looking more athletic and mobile than Clady

[NightTerror218]

Watching Sambrailo. Looked good opening hopes for hillman. Already looking more athletic and mobile than Clady

Needs to communicate better with TE on blocking. Oz sack was with Avril virtually unnlocked. Green chip blocked and the Avril was free to oz. Something went wrong.

[SR]

Watching Sambrailo. Looked good opening hopes for hillman. Already looking more athletic and mobile than Clady

Oz TD to Green. Oz has been antsy to throw down field finally got to. Forced it a couple times but has settled for check downs and crossing routes. Great first half for him. Best I have seen him. Throwing it around to different guys and going through reads, sliding in pocket and stepping up.

Maybe he was antsy but I think it could also be he taking what the defense was giving him.

[Dzone]

Shaq Barrett showing good closing speed with power to walk tackle back. Great rip move...

[Dzone]

I thought he looked lost most of the time.
I said I noticed his athleticism, not his knowledge of the playbook

[Northman]

Just got home from a night out. Looks like Brock did really well. I know its preseason but his numbers look pretty decent, how did he look for those who are watching it live? Sounds like the defense was playing very well also.

[silkamilkamonico]

Montee Ball sucks. Forget that clown - let's see wha Juwan Thompson has.

[NightTerror218]

ST Looks so bad, slow, caught flat footed, not able get off blocks.

Probably area of most work needed.

[ShaneFalco]

ST is horrid.

[Northman]

Nice muffed punt. Looks like ST's will still be a problem area for us.

[Dzone]

Norwood wtf dont these guys have a ball machine to practice catching punts?
Norwood fumbles the punt and then gets lit up on a kickoff return. Bad night for that guy

[Bronco4ever]

Bad throw by Dysert.

[NightTerror218]

Bad throw by Dysert.

But amazing block by hillman on blitz.

[Bronco4ever]

For sure. Hillman has had a great night. Maybe this is the year he puts it all together.

Remember last year some people thought Zac might look better than Brock? There's not much doubt who looks better so far.

It is only one game but considering that Zac is playing against even more inferior players he seems to be struggling. But again, one game (preseason no less) but it is nice to see Brock have a nice outing and that makes me extremely happy.

McManus kickoffs better than Barth because of hangtime.. Barth's kickoff returned for TD was a liner...

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 2m

Outside of special teams -- kickoff coverage, one punt -- #Broncos been decent. Defense held Seattle to 29 yards in first half.

Anunike, in # 91- thought I was seein robert ayers with speed.

Lorenzo Doss first tackle. Future hall of famer. The next Darrell Green

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 29s

Colquitt's first punt a 39-yarder. Not great on same day team adds punter to compete for job.

:tsk:

[NightTerror218]

:tsk:

My guess that is net....ST tackles fails again.

[NightTerror218]

Dysert looks bad

[Bronco4ever]

Incomplete, but Dysert sucks.

[Davii]

Man, Dysert looks rough

[NightTerror218]

Annukie or whatever sack

[TXBRONC]

Yep.

Ayers could get around the corner but he sucked at finishing plays.

I was one of them at camp. So glad that Brock looks good when it matters.

Now if they can just work on our Special Teams that were so not special.

Have to work tomorrow....night guys

[underrated29]

My boy Bennie!

[underrated29]

Simian does have a strong arm.

[Northman]

Apparently Siemen is 4/4 with a 21 yd average. Thats pretty good, granted its third stringers.

[Bronco4ever]

Siemian looks solid.

[underrated29]

I wonder if we are trying to stash bibbs? Heard he was doing well in tc but he hasn't even seen the field.

[Northman]

Dysert might be the odd man out when all is said and done.

[NightTerror218]

Apparently Siemen is 4/4 with a 21 yd average. Thats pretty good, granted its third stringers.

One miss pass was negated by a penalty. He has an arm at this rate he will replace Dysert quickly.

[NightTerror218]

Overthrew wide open TE Jones in endzone......wide wide open.

[Northman]

So im thinking its probably still going to be Anderson, Ball, and Hillman at the top 3 backs. Hillman made a good case for himself tonight.

[TXBRONC]

My boy Bennie!

You said your boy was Kapari Bibbs.

UR changes his boys a lot. lol

Dude! Hillman even broke a tackle! He looked great.

[TXBRONC]

UR changes his boys a lot. lol

At least he's consistent. :lol:

[Dzone]

A lot top be impressed with tonight. Todd Davis, Ray, Kilgo, Anunike , Barrett, Vaughn, Latimer, etc etc Winning in seattle-Tough to do , even in preseason

[Northman]

Its all good. UR is my boy! lmao

Definitely. Considering our last 2 preseason games against them were not very pretty i will take it as a sign of improvement. lol

[Northman]

Maybe not a win just yet. lmao

[underrated29]

UR changes his boys a lot. lol



Ah, screw you guys. I tried to find the post but I don't know where it is.......my guys are Joe don, bibbs, fowler, Taylor......for the bubble guys anyway.

[Northman]

Well, we almost had it.

[CrazyHorse]

Yeah, screw you shecawks.

[NightTerror218]

Hoping for more of Jordan Taylor...heard so much of him in TC.

[underrated29]

Let him open it up a little. Who cares if we lose. Take a shot or a quick out or something. But I understand wanting to practice running out the clock.

You're still a good guy.

[Northman]

Shit, i missed it. How did they pick up the first down? Pass?

[Dzone]

Mcmanus looks like the better kicker tonight, both phases. Unfortunately, when the pressure is on, he is the one most likely to choke

[NightTerror218]

Shit, i missed it. How did they pick up the first down? Pass?

Penalty on defense, hands to face.

[underrated29]

Ice d

[sneakers]

Preseason champs!

[Dzone]

Siemian looked amazing until he sailed it over the head of a wide open TE in the end zone. But if he already is better than Dysert, then Dysert might be on the first cut list

[NightTerror218]

Kilgo sack to close put....he was to the QB quick too. Def not a coverage sack.

[TXBRONC]

Ice d

Clever under. Absolutely clever. :D

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I'm really happy with how Brock looked. He had a good command of the offense. He made good decisions and looked really confident.

Paradis looked good in the ZBS.

[Simple Jaded]

Apparently Siemian was hand picked by Kubiak, that's absolutely frightening. If Osweiler fails we may be looking at a depth chart full of TJ Yates.

[MOtorboat]

Observations, musings and confusing meanderings while watching the game (Had to watch on tape delay, and have not read this thread at all).

First half:

Pete Carroll is a gigantic douche.

Ray fooled on some misdirection early, but helped force the fumble on the Seahawks second drive. He got the FF in his state line in the second quarter. Good play by him. I don't know if he actually went offside on his offsides penalty.

Thanks Hauschka, weak-legged kick. Wanted to see Patton. Nevermind. WTF? (Second quarter).

Left side of line looks bad early. On early bootleg on first drive and first run on second drive. Much better on Montee Ball's first run (next play). Looked better in pass pro. Much better in pass pro and later in the game.

Nice to see Green involved early. Redux: VIRGIL GREEN!

Osweiler looks pretty composed. Short-armed the pass to Latimer and the deep ball to Caldwell. He came right back after the deep ball and completed four straight passes on that fourth drive.

Backup OLBs look pretty good, especially Shaquille Barrett.

I wrote "cut Hillman" after his first two plays - missed the play-action call and the first run was atrocious - but the next three were pretty decent. He's never going to be an inside runner, but if he can do that change of pace stuff on the outside he should have a role. Now in second quarter, we will chalk my earlier thoughts up to "small sample size."

Kickers look just fine. Nothing to see here. Coverage team looked bad, though.

I hope we hear "Osweiler to Latimer" for a long time. Would like to see both succeed.

After a shaky start, run game looks pretty good midway through the second.

I know it's preseason and it means nothing, but the play calling was not predictable.

Caldwell sucks. Tony Carter sucks. I hope some of the young guys can step up and replace both. Latimer has to be the definitive No. 3, maybe Norwood can step up. Curtis March at corner?

Sylvester Williams has looked pretty decent tonight.

Osweiler's first down pass to Norwood at the 2:00 mark of the second quarter after the false start. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yup. That whole damn drive. Great job Brock. That was awesome.

Second half:

Pete Carroll is a gigantic douche.

First drive led by Dysert was pretty forgettable.

WTF is up with the kick coverage? It's early right? Nothing to see here? Hope so.

Seattle's back ups suck and I'm perfectly OK with that.

Up and down the roster, Elway has compiled a roster that can go get the quarterback. Dammit that is fun.

And Norwood. WTF? Why can Denver not find a damn returner that will hold on to the ball. Bring back Holliday. At least he scored touchdowns.

Front seven looks solid (I know I'm watching backups now, but even so...).

Curtis Marsh for cornerback.

Dysert is not having a good game.

I think the Archer cat might have lost his job in Seattle on that bad fumble. Gerald Rivers made a few good plays. Don't even know who he is.

Shaquille Barrett did have a nice night. Thanks Zappolo.

One play and Siemien looks better than Dysert.

Seattle celebrating like its the playoffs, as usual. Douche bags.

Nice ball by Siemien to Fowler (the deep ball).

Jeremy Stewart looks better than Juwan Thompson. Who would have thought Hillman would look the best?

McManus played well. We've seen the bad, though, so hopefully he can keep it up. Need a big-legged kicker in Denver, IMO.

Only preseason game I ever care about winning. **** Seattle and **** the way they celebrate during preseason games. Bunch of douche bags starting with the head coach.

[Simple Jaded]

Watching Sambrailo. Looked good opening hopes for hillman. Already looking more athletic and mobile than Clady

He looks like a G.

[MOtorboat]

Sambrailo looked fine.

[Magnificent Seven]

Siemian looked amazing until he sailed it over the head of a wide open TE in the end zone. But if he already is better than Dysert, then Dysert might be on the first cut list

I agree. Dysert didn't look good.

[Dzone]

The kicking looks to be Mcmanus job to lose until he chokes on a 40 yarder with the game on the line

[Dzone]

He looks like a G.
How's that? He is going to be a great Left Tackle
edit:good -ok He is going to be a good left tackle. Sambrailo can play

[Magnificent Seven]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 48m48 minutes ago
Spoke to CJ Anderson. Says he could have played on. Minor sprain to the ankle.

[Timmy!]

Overall, pretty friggin solid, other than special teams being horrible. The kids up front look to be learning quick, Brock is gonna be solid (duh), Latimer can play, so can Green, and the defense is going to give me a perma smile for several months.

[Valar Morghulis]

Bugger. Just typed out a reply and lost it.

So here is the abridged version.

Missed game. Watched highlights. Liked what I saw on both sides of the ball.

[GEM]

Football is back!! Life is just better when the Broncos are playing. I don't know if there is actually any truth to that, but it sure feels like it.

Hello old friend...how I've missed you!!

[sneakers]

just be happy that half the games the broncos play are played in a stadium where there are no kick returns

[VonDoom]

Just finished watching the second half this morning. As I said earlier, my biggest takeaway from this game was Brock looking good. Very encouraging sign. Maybe it was the fact that Manning didn't play at all, and maybe it was the new offense, but Os didn't feel like a second string QB out there to me. This might be what life after Manning looks like.

The jury is still out on the o-line. Hard to tell how many backups Seattle had out there in the first half against us. In the second half, we had virtually no running game, though, and that group included Garland, Gradkowski, Smith, etc, so maybe those guys are down to second string for a reason. Smith in particular missed that one play in the second quarter where Ball could have easily scored a TD.

Speaking of which, I wish we had finished a few more drives. Isn't this the knock that a lot of people have on Kubiak's ZBS? Good in between the 20's, but falters in the red zone?

Glad to see McManus make some long FG's, but besides that, the ST in general was not good. Back to the drawing board this week.

Defense was solid all night. First stringers looked motivated, and I think this is just a preview of Von being a game wrecker every week.

Good first look at our boys. Bronco football is back!

Edit: Almost forgot the other QB's. I thought Siemian looked much more like a real QB than Dysert. I wanted to see that kid Taylor get involved, but Bennie Fowler looked good, especially on that deep ball from Siemian. Isn't Fowler one of your boys, UR?

[TXBRONC]

Apparently Siemian was hand picked by Kubiak, that's absolutely frightening. If Osweiler fails we may be looking at a depth chart full of TJ Yates.

If Osweiler fails Elway will look for another franchise quarterback.
