DP - Broncos' Moss leaves camp to think about future
Here's hoping that Jarvis is in the right frame of mind to make a good decision for himself.
DB - Day 2 Blog - Gray Caldwell
Lots of details from camp; Caldwell points out that there's now a scoreboard up for the practice field, although it wasn't used yesterday. Plus, any ball which hits the ground is now a fumble in practice; presumably another way to promote ball-hawking skills for everyone.
DB - Day 2 Report and Highlights - Broncos TV
Chris Hall wraps up the day's practices, with some great highlights at the end.
DB - Initial Impressions - Zach Eisendrath
Peyton Hillis is impressing everyone, no great surprise to anyone here. Champ, Hill and Thomas didn't stay on the PUP list for long; they practiced yesterday.
DB - Day 2: McDaniels - Broncos TV
McDaniels praises Peyton and says he doesn't know what Twitter and Facebook are.
DP - Marshall plays a position caught up in controversy - Mike Klis
Chris Simms believes that so many WRs are divas because, as he says, they're the best athletes on a football field. So they've been "the guy" their entire lives, and they expect to be treated as such even as professionals. Ted Sundquist thinks it might be a generational thing.
DP - Kiszla: Working on the Elvis Project
Kiszla says Dumervil's switch to LB and playing in pass coverage for the first time is the biggest risk for Denver in '09.
DP - McDaniels gets tough on tackling - Lindsay Jones
DP - Bailey, Thomas, Hill back at work in better shape
Nic Clemons may have suffered a season-ending knee injury.
DP - Klis: Bell ready to step into breach, again
Tatum is waiting by the phone again; meanwhile, the draft picks around Knowshon and Ayers are starting to sign, so hopefully they're getting closer to a deal.

re: AP - Kyle Orton latest QB to try to escape John Elway's shadow in Denver - Arnie Stapleton
“There are so many shadows in Denver. There’s Elway’s shadow. There’s Cutler’s shadow,” Simms said, chuckling. "So, we shouldn’t get a sunburn in camp, should we?

Best video yet from DB
That Denverbroncos.com Day 2 recap had some sweet action on it. Loved seeing Hillis rough it up. A sweet behind the back grab from Marshall too.

Thanks Nyc

Anyone else get the feeling...
Hillis is the love-child of John Riggins meets Roger Craig
He’s got to be my favorite Bronco right now…

When I watched the clip of Hillis hitting Crowder
the D-A-N and G keys fell off my keyboard. So, I’m guessing that the information Hillis gave us on how he’s learning to run around folks rather than through them from this summer didn’t exactly translate to training camp?

I'm curious about a new approach to football...
…much in the way that baseball has specialists who pitch in different portions of a game.
Hillis runs a bruising game early to wear down the defense. Later, Moreno comes in to slash through weakened defenders. Buckhalter is used here and there to either run or catch to add confusion. I don’t think it will happen like that exactly, but I think we’ll see a lot of RBs in a lot of roles, instead of the traditional “feature back” or “committee” schemes.

I see that too
Probably the single greatest weapon McD will have in terms of creating confusion for a game-planning DC. I could see them switching up the sequence too, Buckhalter, Moreno and/or Hillis shift out wide early and often spread ’em out and then Hillis and Jordan pounding the tar outa the D as the game wears on.
How do yo uplan for all the possibilities?
This is what we wanted...
Hey, look what we got!

Good points, HT
Sometimes folks hear ‘committee’ and think ‘interchangeable’, but what if the normal assessment of what a player’s strengths and weaknesses might be transfers over to exactly how the members of that committee are used? After all, in business, folks on the same committee might have very different responsibilities. Why not apply that to football?
Over the course of a season, ‘primary’ backs tend to wear down. Even AP was rushing for less and less ypc by the end of last season. Reasoning out who sis best suited for each role and applying that might increase the health and longevity of our backs will providing us with a plethora of options. Nice call!

We sorta had that in 2005
Mike Anderson as the bruiser, and Tatum as the slasher/home run runner. I’m guessing this year’s version can be even better than 2005’s.

That is too cool Bear
HT, I think you might be on to something there.

LOL!

You get TWO salmons for that one, Bear (and maybe a pot-O-honey to wash them down)!
Still chuckling…
Take my advice... I'm not using it!

Simms is a good quote. Maybe he can replace his Bronco hating father as an announcer.
The D-line and OLBs still worry the crap out of me. The first few days of camp have done nothing to make me feel better about our front seven.
Hillis will be an All Pro FB in the near future.
Love the Broncos, don't like their Coach.

Poor kid! Signed on Saturday and injured on Saturday. Let’s hope Knowshon shows up ready to play.
