He might but that would more than likely keeping around a kick off specialist and I doubt the Broncos want to do that.

A year can make a difference.

According to all the camp reports, it hasn't.

I haven't seen any on kickers yet. That said there is a third kicker roster right now.

Its in this thread. In FG drills McManus went 2/4 one day (including a miss from only 37 yards) and 3/4 another day. Barth, (also mentioned in this threads reports) has been far more accurate.

More practice notes:

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 48m48 minutes ago

After trying to stretch out back, #broncos Michael Schofield left field w trainer

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 45m45 minutes ago

Left tackle Ryan Clady watching practice today.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 45m45 minutes ago

Manning nice short pass to OwenDaniels and Ryan Harris sprung him w good block on Todd Davis #Broncos

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 43m43 minutes ago

Latimer just missed on diving catch and it appeared to knock the wind out of home. Moving around now. Strong effort

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 40m40 minutes ago

#broncos bubba Caldwell gets overlooked. But has caught everything today including TD from Osweiler

Kubiak and other coaches, after practice:

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 26m26 minutes ago

Kubiak: Joe Don Duncan has "impressed." Versatility helps his cause. Duncan saw some reps w/ Manning and also was on the 1st KO ret. unit.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 26m26 minutes ago

D.Thomas and A.Smith are "very close to be turning loose," Kubiak said. Smith saw some team reps today; Thomas had 2 7-on-7 periods.

Nicki Jhabvala ‏@NickiJhabvala 21m21 minutes ago

Joe DeCamillis said Broncos' kicking competition still close. "I think we're separated by one miss now."

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 16m16 minutes ago

#broncos Wade Phillips said ideally would like to run blend of man and zone coverage "and we have guys who can do that." Will be pressure D

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 15m15 minutes ago

Rick Dennison says Demarcus Ware and Von Miller have been instrumental in the development of rookie Ty Sambrailo. Always teaching. #broncos

Jeff Legwold ‏@Jeff_Legwold 15m15 minutes ago

For #Broncos Schofield left practice with tightness in his back, Bibbs had ankle injury and Wolfe looked as if heat was bothering him.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 14m14 minutes ago

Dennison said really seeing comfort level growing w RBs "on putting foot in ground and surging" #broncos. Cut back, cut in half is the plan

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 2m2 minutes ago

Kubiak said injuries to Schofield, Virgil green should not keep them from practicing on Thursday. Team has scheduled day off tomorrow

I've went back looked and I found tweet that spoke of McManus having a bad day it didn't say bad but it also said the next day he had a better day. I also saw another tweet showed he was like 4/4 from that distance. If Barth wins the competition that fine with me but I don't think Elway brought McManus back and other guy in just for the heck of it.

Also Doom just posted this tweet fwiw:

Denver is really going to need him too so hopefully the fluff is accurate.

I doubt they want to tip their hand yet, but it appears that Barth and Colquitt will be the two kickers on the roster come opening day. Vic just posted this:

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 22m22 minutes ago

Connor Barth told me he worked with a kickoff coach in the offseason. It shows. He kicked a couple out of the endzone today.

... so if he can actually kick touchbacks a portion of the time and still be accurate on FG's, he's probably our guy.

I saw one tweet that said that Barth sent one out of the end zone. I agree if he can do that with some consistency that's great because I don't think Denver wants to take up a roster spot with a kick off specialist.

Yeah, they've made it pretty clear that they only want to carry two kickers (which I think most people would agree with). I guess I assumed that meant McManus would improve his accuracy but Barth working on kickoffs works just as well.

Dapper Dan is right - we spend a lot of time talking about kickers around here.

If the position was settled it wouldn't talked about.

For those of you who are concerned about the OL this year, you need to at least watch the two segments with Stink talking about the OL, the coaches, players last year, and then the other segment on him talking about the OL, coaches, players, etc. this year, which he is positive about.
