Thread: Practice / press conference notes - week 14 (Titans week)

Kubiak decided to do a walkthrough today instead of a normal practice, as he felt the team was struggling with fatigue.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 45m45 minutes ago

Brandon Marshall (hamstring) was the only defensive player on the 53-man roster not on the field for the defensive walk-through this a.m.

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 1m1 minute ago

#Broncos QB Trevor Siemian came out for walkthrough today. He was active in an early drill during open viewing period. Promising sign.

Some random Titans facts:

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 1h1 hour ago

One of every 8.65 pass plays for @Titans covers 20 or more yards. That's the best rate in the AFC & the 2nd-best in the NFL (behind ATL).

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 1h1 hour ago

Test for #Broncos D v. #Titans will come on 3rd down & red zone. TENN converting 47% of 3rdD (4th in NFL) & TD on 72.5% of RZ trips (1st).

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 15m15 minutes ago

Brandon Marshall, Casey Kreiter did not practice. Trevor Siemian was a limited participant in #Broncos practice. Siemian threw today.

Kubiak: Justin Forsett "understands exactly what we're doing," and "can help us really quick." Said Booker can learn from Forsett.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 14m14 minutes ago

Kubiak: "It was a blessing" that Forsett got let go by the Lions, given the Sunday injury to Bibbs.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 13m13 minutes ago

Kubiak expects Forsett to play this week and split time with Booker "just like Kapri would have."

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 7m7 minutes ago

#Broncos @TrevorSiemian said "You want to play. But you want to play well" That's key.. Needs to be healthy enough to compete @DenverChannel

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 43s43 seconds ago

Trevor Siemian said he sent his side-by-side foot in the tub photo to Peyton Manning before posting. He said PM laughed.

TV maps are up - not sure why people in Arizona and Minnesota have to be subjected to the Jets/49ers game, but I didn't make the schedule:

Ugh, Dan Fouts. The 2nd worst announcer named Dan of all time ranked behind only Dan Dierdorf.

Id imagine those 3rd and 10 or less are being converted by mariota because of his legs. If we can keep them in 3rd and longs and lay some blows on him we should be okay.

The team shouldn't force Trevor back like last time, he's a guy that just doesn't have the talent to be effective playing injured, id just roll with lynch another week.

This is so weird, cause the balanced running/passing system is supposed to be what's holding the Broncos back from being the Greatest Show Eva. I hope the Titans know they're wasting their window.

Give. It. A. Rest.

Seriously.

What's holding them back is their inability to do either one well.

I'd settle for "adequate" at this point. "Poorly" would be an upgrade.

Hey guys. *woah* Who farted? It's like someone had a bowl of baked beans and washed it down with a sixer of the hoppiest IPA on the planet, and then multiplied it by a dogfart.

Oh. Hey, Lynch12.

Somebody's baking brownies.
