    Default Training Camp Report for 7/31/15 by pnbronco

    Hey guys it's that time of year again when camp starts and I do my best to give a camp report with non technical terms. I am a 100% fan and for me Sam, Mike and Will are the names of men I know.....so let's get started....

    These are heads up for anyone trying to get down there this year. They do have parking kind of where it was in the past, just a little further east so keep going till you see the signs. We usually park at the Park, it's a OK walk so if the parking is full keep that in mind. Here is a link that gives you a summery of what you can do and what you can't:

    http://www.denverbroncos.com/schedul...iningcamp.html

    Heads up everyone. There are no trees anymore and it got hotter than snot out there today. Even with sun block I burned some....so keep this in mind if you are sensitive to heat/sun. I heard so many babies crying out there....it's super hot with no shade so please keep this in mind if you want to attend....it's much tougher than it's been in the past and no real place for the kids to play other than the misting thing.

    Next thing I noticed. We use to sit along the side lines so you could spread out pretty good from the 10 to the 10 side lines. Now we are sitting on a longer slop and it's what would be a end zone view. For pictures it's fine, but it does feel different and harder to see over all.

    Started out as normal with Special teams punting. Those catching punts were Bolden, Norwood, Patton, Taylor and Williams. Nothing really stood out to me today one way or another on any of them today. Will try to concentrate on them better later in camp.

    Got my first view of Sambrailo.....a big kid. Big shoulders and I got the feeling from him that I get from Vasquez a presence you can't ignore.

    Early before general stretches I saw Palmer and Sanders warming up on the side practicing catching the ball. I did see Antonio Smith doing a lot of stretching on the side lines. I didn't see him do much else. I also noticed that Trevathan would do a drill and then get a rub down on his legs right away. They seem to have a specific plan for each guy on warming up and where ever they are at this time. Before they did formal drill Von and Ware were working out with trainers on getting good stretches and what each player needed.

    Once organized practice started it was run to every new drill. That first hour it was non stop do this drill, now run to the next and get moving....and so and so on. Wade had the big boys get right to it with a kind of suicides drills....they weren't a long distance but they got right with it. He kept those boys moving till it was 11/11's.

    Peyton and Brock were working with RB and TE early on.

    There was a lot of passing drills but it felt like more running drills than I remembered in the past and they kept coming back to hand off drills over and over.

    Something new I noticed was going at a full run knocking a dummy out of the way and then tacking a dummy on a mat. At first I just thought it was the LB's but it ended up being a assortment of LB, TE's, DB's, RB's and Cody Latimer. I'm talking full run with a punishing in the air tackle....

    On the other side you had Safety's pushing through their dummy and stopping the one on the end.

    With the passing drills Sanders and DT made it look easy. I know that DT did not practice that much but dang he has great hands and just grabbed everything that went his way today even the bad throws. Sanders has not lost a step and looks great. I know it's only the first day but Nathan Palmer seems to have improved from what I remembered before. Just a lot more at easy and catching some of the harder passes.

    Peyton threw quite a few and seemed like our normal Peyton. It did seem like Brock and Dysert got a lot more reps this year. Siemian has a lot to learn and will need time for things to slow down for him....you could tell he was a rookie. Jordan Taylor is so tall, 6-5 but is on a steep learning curve right now. I could tell he was a rookie just the little I saw of him, but dang he is super tall.

    A couple of other drill I noticed with the D was lot of cutting directions and one where they couldn't jump off sides.

    It seemed like they were doing a lot of blocking drills with the RB's and TE's today as well.

    IMO Brock looks better, but there were some bad throws and bad hand offs. Not sure if was first day or what but will try to keep a eye on him and report later. Dysert has a nice touch and threw some great balls today. Just not sure how he plays with live bullets, but he seems to have picked up a lot this last year.

    CJ looks great and is picking up where he left off last year. It looks like he's worked out a lot this off season. Oh and DT looks great physically. Montee Ball looked a lot better than I've seen him in a long time. A lot more zip and power in his run these days. Hillman had some good runs with speed. Juwan Thompson and Kapri Bibbs kept getting my attention too. Again I know it's the first day but the RB's seem to be all fighting for a place early on.

    Peyton and Owen Daniels seem to be developing a nice chemistry already. Some great passes to him. Also Green looks great and caught some nice passes. We even saw Peyton do a little run and complete a pass to Green...

    I didn't seem much of Malik today and did see Wolfe out there a lot with Walker. Will try to focus more on them next time. I just know that Phillips worked their tails off.

    On kick off's today you had Burse the best with speed and field vision. Norwood solid, Kyle Williams solid and had a nice bust of speed on a couple and Solomon Patton OK. It was kind of funny they had extra point practice with kicking into the crowd....a few kids got to catch a ball and have a blast.

    Then the last 45 minutes was helmets off and a lot of "walk through". Again a lot of hand offs and developing muscle memory. I saw Kubes watch the 2's a lot today. He let his coaches interact with the players and he did a lot of observing.

    Overall I would say the first day was lot's of hard work with a purpose. Then a good cooling down phase to work on muscle memory. I'm not sure that I really told you anything but I hope you enjoy the report and get excited for a new Bronco Season.....GO BRONCOS!!!

    You're welcome....I'll try to do several...not sure how many time I can go out there or take the heat to be honest. Just remember I'm a fan and my reports are from a female fan perspective.

    Is that Graham Chapman in the upper right of your avatar? It doesn't look like him.

    Did you see Malik for a bit and then see him disappear? I read that he stretched his quad or calf.

    Kubes said it was a calf for Malik but didn't know the extent.

    Yes I saw him warm up but then when the big boys lines were going against each other I didn't see him anymore. I really hope he's OK, we need him.

    I went a couple of years ago and am thinking of going again this year. Just it is a 2 1/2 hour drive one way for me

    I read something that taking pictures with a cell phone is not allowed but I might have misread it. Is this true?

    That's the part I read and was confused about.

    I think though reading it again is cell phones are fine unless you shot video with them.

    Yeah they just don't want you shooting video. I brought my Canon Digital Camera today and was able to get some good shots: http://www.broncosforums.com/forums/...01#post2365901
