Vance Joseph on starting RB Royce Freeman: "He can carry the load as far as a physical standpoint and mental standpoint. ... He's shown the IQ and maturity to be a great pass-pro guy."

Vance Joseph said he wants to see growth from Carlos Henderson off the field, as he returns to the team on practice squad: "I want him to grow up and be a pro. If he does that he'll be fine."

Vance Joseph: "Paxton's gone, so that story is gone with him. We have a big game on Sunday. We have three quarterbacks in our house that we feel good about. But Paxton, that's gone. That story should be gone with him. I wish him well. He deserves that."

Joseph: Cravens “played really well … I was hoping the knee would respond the right way so he could play (against Seattle).” Will have a knee scope. Hope to have him back in two months.

Our third down back is the least dynamic running back of the three. Why not just stick Janovich back there on third?

Come at me, Buff. I've got a damn good point.

[LawDog]

I’m with Buff on this one.

Come at me, Buff. I've got a damn good point.

Two things:

1.) Janovich can't do this. Let's just pump the brakes on deciding that Booker is a problem.

2.) You're just trolling me by picking this thread to bring up the debate we were already having in the other one. But I ain't scurred, I'll dominate both threads if I have to.

I don't think Booker is a problem. I think he'll be a fine backup to Royce Freeman, who I think has break out star type potential. It's more about having Phillip Lindsay sitting on the bench on third down, when he's clearly the most dynamic of the three. That says to me that within the scheme they're worried only about blocking. Who's the better blocker? Probably the fullback. And I think Janovich has shown he can be a pass catcher too, but I don't think they're thinking much about pass catching from the backfield on third down. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

I was responding to a tweet in the OP that indicated Booker would be the third down back, you narcissist.

I'm sure Lindsay will get some touches - and I'm happy to trade a little productivity for better pass protection. I'm not sure there is a problem here yet... Other than you being obsessed with and trolling me.

Thank God football is back. I really don't know what to do with Sundays the rest of the year.

Fully agreed, they just need to unleash the beast on third downs.

Check out the pass reception at 50 second mark.

It might actually be entertaining watching him chip edge rushers.

Somebody bump my Jano thread so we can all admire how far Mo has come.

He's still in the Shire bro. Just because he came to see Gandalf's fireworks don't mean he's headed for Mordor.

I want to post the gif of the block on Emmanuel's end around where the guy explodes when Jano hits him but I can't find it now

Earl Thomas is reporting to the Seahawks today, which is unfortunate for our game. Seems pretty pissed off though

The guy hasn't practiced with the team. He's an all-pro player, but he's not going to play like all-pro right away. He's basically got 2-3 days of practice between now and our game. I don't know how big of an impact this will play this week. It's more a pain in the butt for whoever they play in weeks 2-3.

TV maps are up. Most places outside the local areas get Cowboys/Panthers so plan accordingly

Moving to Kansas City is really going to suck when it comes to getting football games this year...

I don’t know if he’ll even play in the game. The ‘Hawks might hold him out of the game regardless if he thinks he’s ready.

I got a majority of Broncos games when I lived there. Chiefs typically play at noon; this will probably be only one of two games they play at 3. Plus, that’s a great city.

Cowboys offered up a 2nd rounder and the Seagulls didn't take it. Sounds like a fair offer for a guy on the downside of his career.

Vance Joseph on the challenge in facing Russell Wilson: “He’s the best movement QB in the league. ... We have to have a great rush plan to contain this guy.”

Andrew Mason
@MaseDenver
Joseph, on whether the return of Earl Thomas affects their preparation: “it doesn’t ... you’re studying their defense, not just one player.”

Troy Renck
@TroyRenck
#Broncos Joseph said @casekeenum been in big games "he's ready. And I think he will play even better than we've seen". Wants him to manage game, take care of the ball

Another big thing I noticed at today's press conference when asked about pad day:

Pads on Thursday. Idea behind that is, Wednesday, most guys are still sore. So, our big day is going to be Thursday. Inside run, 1st 2nd 3rd down, a little red zone. So, Thursdays for pads.

I got all hype for today thinking "Oh, it's Wednesday bout to win another practice," but it turns out Thursday is the new Wednesday, so really I gotta be hype for Thursdays this year. I am so excited for Thursday practices this year.

I've got a way to watch the game (I can use my phone a as a wifi Hotspot and watch on the laptop) but I actually think I'll be going to lunch with my potential employer around that time so. I don't have dvr this year line I had in past years.

Where in KC are you moving to? We get alot of the broncos games locally just because of the time difference.

From Legwold on Twitter:

The Broncos likely closed out their week of practice before the regular-season opener as healthy as they'll be all season. Every player on the roster participated fully in Friday's practice. “We’re very lucky,’’ said Broncos coach Vance Joseph. “ … To be totally healthy Week 1, that’s definitely a good deal.’’

Despite only being with the team since Aug. 26 the Broncos believe Adam Jones has made enough progress in the last two weeks he could play on defense when they'd like him to in Sunday's season opener against Seattle. After Friday's practice Broncos coach Vance Joseph said Jones' history in the team's defensive scheme -- Joseph was Jones' position coach in Cincinnati for two seasons and Jones also played in Dallas' defense in 2008 when Wade Phillips was the Cowboys' coach -- “so, he’s been coached in this system.’’ Jones figures to return punts and could be used in some situational work on defense.
