Prob because when we video we can show the formations of the O and the D and the broncos do not like that.


Even the media never shows the angles like we would see in games, etc. Its because they do not want their formations, etc to be on video.
I do not even say anymore if its 2 wide, 3 wide, etc. Not like anyone will be reading my posts, but still. I will just say PA boot or shotgun, etc.

There's a big difference between getting a TD in a redzone drill and getting a TD when you have to drive 80 yards against another team. You're really stretching here if this is your best argument for Lock.

To be fair you know Belichick sends 31 moles dressed as other teams fans to every camp.

I’m glad to hear that guys like Jeudy and Surtain look the part and are doing well. It always helps when your first round picks pan out. As far as the QBs, 7 on 7s don’t mean squat. I can’t wait to see how they do once the real bullets start flying. I also want to see how the other guys (like Jeudy) does then. Just because he’s catching the ball when nobody is hitting him doesn’t mean he’s going to win those contested catches in real games or those where he knows he’s gonna get popped. Those are the ones that test your mettle and ability to be the guy on Sunday. In passing drills and practice, he knows Jackson or Fuller isn’t gonna light him up if he goes over the middle for a ball. Real football is different than practice.

If Drew can’t read defenses and throw accurate passes when under the gun, it doesn’t matter what he does in practice. If Teddy can’t find his cajones and continues to choose the 2-3 yard dump off over the more aggressive, yet open, 10 yard downfield throw, then it doesn’t matter if he’s 3 for 3 or 0 for 3 if he can’t get first downs. I do love camp reports and I get as excited as anyone, but until there’s another team lining up across from our guys ready to go 100%, it doesn’t mean a damned thing.

Here are some of Nick Ferguson's thoughts on Lock vs Bridgewater:

Can Two Yard Teddy do that ? Can Two Yard Teddy do that?

Hell naw!

Yep.

If he cant do it during live games than what he does in practice dont mean diddly. Im not going to get to excited for him until its translated to the field in a live game environment. If he can do that than great but until its much ado about nothing.

I know it's just a dumb highlight reel, but he can throw a mid-deep ball when he wants.

Lock and Jeudy in year 2 gunna be nice.

It says alot to me when watching the highlight video ( for what its worth), Teddy is hitting the tes and rbs down 5yds out. And Drew is gunning it to the WRs vertically and across the field.

It would be a shame to waste such receiver talent on someone who is afraid to throw to them.

PS. Point out how many TDs were scored directly as a result of gordons fumbles. (You never have)





Yes, drew ran in for about 7 yards. I tweetered it. He had a WR open. Cant remember which now, spencer again I think, he stared the WR down the whole time. D read it. Drew broke contain and then could have scored, but ran it in. Basically the Winner to Hamler against the chargers last year- that except he ran in this time instead of throwing it....And the play started at the 7 yard line not the 1.

And I told you then what I’ll tell you now. I do believe one his fumbles cost Denver a game. And drops aren’t turnovers, fumbles are.

The coaches have a lot to evaluate. Like I said before, counting up training camp stats is pretty useless, and it’s not how coaches will make their decision either.
