Thread: Who Saw the Practice at the Stadium Today...and what did you see?

  1. #1

    Default Who Saw the Practice at the Stadium Today...and what did you see?

    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.

    Wow, you actually went?

    What preparations did you make for the life-threatening hail? I stayed safe at home per the advice of Lindsay Jones.

    I went as well and echo the statements about the hands. Gotsis may have the best hands on the team.

    Oh. Dear god.

    One of these 3 will can make this team as a returner.

    “He had some good periods here today,’’ Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said of Lock. “I think he did his best work in 7 on 7 which isn’t football. But it’s progress. You need to see that progress in 11 on 11 and then ultimately in games. But, he’s getting better.’’

    Lock has promise. I like the kid. He's not ready to be a starting NFL QB right now. Nothing wrong with that.

    It was a sweet throw, but the receiver actually catching the pass was the most surprising part.

    Its a nice throw but he wasnt even in a scrimmage or facing any pressure. If he does this in real game action than i will get excited. Lol

    If they are starting Heuerman because he’s the best blocking tight end they are doing offense wrong in 2019.
