The first thing I did when I got home from the stadium practice today was check out what twitter said about it. I find it fascinating how much stock people are putting into training camp tweets. There's some good info out there, but so much is left out. I'm sure there were some more folks here who went today. I'd love to hear your first hand observations. Here are mine:
1. Let's keep in mind that the 3 most electric players on this team didn't practice today. Von, Lindsey, and Emmanuel.
2. Kevin Hogan is not a good QB. Poor reads, poor throws, poor play altogether. I dub him 'the vulture', because all he is doing at this point is stealing reps from Lock.
3. Drew Lock is clearly ahead of Hogan, and just as clearly behind Flacco.
4. I was hoping to see the young WR's flash today. They didn't.
5. There is a butter fairy in Denver, and she's coating all of the practice balls at Broncos camp.
6. Zach Kerr is huge. I think he's put on 10-15 pounds since last season.
7. Denver's interior offensive line is really good. (I'm not including shotgun snaps.)
8. Noah Fant is not a day 1 star at TE. Right now he's not even a day one starter at TE.
9. If Jeff Heuerman stays healthy, he is a lock to start. He is the best blocking TE we've had here since Virgil Green.
10. Malik Reed can get off the edge very quickly. He looks great in pass rush.
11. This defense is unpredictable. They played about an even amount of zone and man to man today.
12. Get ready to see a ton of crossing routes to TE's and backs.
13. This offense desperately needs Emmanuel Sanders to get back healthy.
14. While the starting offensive line is much improved, depth is still a glaring weakness.
15. I will be shocked if Brandon Langley makes this team.
16. Denver has a couple of possibilities to have an electric returner- and they can actually catch punts and kickoffs.
