#Broncos Andy Janovich will undergo MRI after suffering shoulder/pec injury on special teams. A pectoral tear would lead to missed time and place regular season games in jeopardy. Again, should know more today on the bruising fullback #Denver7

#Broncos @I_CU_boy on what Joe Flacco was like in huddle. “Oh, smooth. Calm. He was asking us questions, what we wanted. He’s just confident in what he does. He just makes everybody more confident. This year is going to be a great year.” #Denver7

“it felt good to get back out there and get some rust off. This is the first time I’ve been hit and tackled since the (wrist) injury. It felt good to just be out with my teammates and have fun.” — #Broncos @I_CU_boy after Thursday’s game. #Denver7

I'm watching the replay now. Lock definitely looks much better than a week ago and clearly has quite a bit of raw talent.

Hopefully he can continue to grow and improve. Based on what I've seen so far I don't know that Hogan should be ahead of him. Hard to tell though

Hogan should definitely not be ahead of Lock. Wasting reps on Hogan is asinine. Just like wasting reps on Siemian was asinine.

Griese kept pointing out how he's relying way too much on his arm and being lazy about transferring power using his legs/feet.

Lol. He'll get coached up I'm sure

I thought it was a good game. It went down almost exactly how I expected and the people here are reacating pretty much exactly how I expected. Its funny.
Klis or someone tweeted before the game that we did not do any prep work for the seabirds and to expect a shit show. I am glad they did. Now we know what we need to work on. I thought it was a great game. The starters looked great! Missed an opening TD by an inch. Give them a few more weeks and that will be money.

I see us as a 10-6/11-5 team right now. Better than I thought.


Lock has really made strides. I was not so sure about him but he looked a lot lot better. Some of his throws were really really really good throws. That throw to Fumagali. Talk about right out of the break! An incredible throw with a rusher coming down the pipe!

Griese is 100% correct. He was. I like it because Lock didn't miss too many throws. The ones he did was because he didn't follow through. That is an easy fix. Not a change in motion or aim or anything. Just follow through. Easy.

Lock had some other good throws that were just dropped. Easy drops. He left that poor kid from San fran out to dry. But what QB has not done that before??? remember what Peyton said to JT back when we set records? He said make sure to bend the route in before the safety. JT did not and got blasted. Same thing here. The WR did not bend the route, but Lock should have put more on it too.

Lock is still super raw, I still like Chad Kelly better, but Lock looked good. As he builds on that we will be ok me thinks.

Yes, Griese is correct. It's just that I feel a bit dirty saying that.

I still think we are an 8-8 team at best. But I live to be wrong.

While there is fear Fort has torn ACL, MRI scheduled for later this morning to determine full extent of injury. Jano MRI also forthcoming. #9sports

Fangio on penalties: “Penalties were ... because you have poor technique or you’re not good enough. W/either you have to cheat, you have to grab guys ... We have to make guys aware of proper technique and hopefully they’re good enough to play honest downs w/out fouling. #9sports

Well, obviously they are on vastly different time-tables. Hogan is a pure backup and the Broncos have Zero notion of his ever being anything more than an backup emergency starter.

Lock is the QB of the future. Everything depends on whether they can develop him over the next couple of years.

If the Joe Flacco experiment is underwhelming (almost every national observer assumes that he's pretty much washed up) then they might need Lock sooner rather than later. Every rep he can get they need to give him in the pre-season.

He's on a rather steep learning curve.

Going into the season with Siemian as the starter to begin with was asinine. If Paxton couldn't beat out Siemian in his first season, then they needed to go back into the 2017 draft and get a QB then and not wait.

You say that as if the opinions of national observers matter whatsoever.

Waste of two years. If they insist on veteran, groom the rookie. Groom the rookie. I don’t understand it, either. Frankly, I think Elway might be gun shy on rookie quarterbacks at this point, while the rest of the sport realizes they need to play.

Yea, i agree.

At this stage its better to figure it out now and sooner rather than later.

Well, they're probably right. The opinion outside of Denver is basically "did John Elway actually SEE Joe Flacco the last 5 years?"

Outside of a lot of hype coming out of Dove Valley, what evidence is there that Flacco is any good? It can't be based on anything Flacco has done since 2014.

I'm hoping its all wrong. But, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are all right.
