Happy Wednesday, Broncos Country.
Another day signifies more battles and competition on the gridiron for our beloved franchise. Day 13 of Broncos training camp will resume today at 10:00 AM (MST) and continue on through the afternoon until 12:30 PM (MST). There are only four more scheduled days of training camp after today's organized activities, so if you are near the area and can see some of the action, do it before it is too late!
One of the key takeaways from Day 12 of Broncos training camp was Wade Phillip's comments on Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr., which will certainly excite all fans on the prospect of what the teams defensive backfield can accomplish in 2015.
"They're probably the best," Phillips stated. "I've had a lot of really good corners. The latest, the guys in Houston, were really good, but these guys are the best, I think, that I've been around. They rate with the Pro Bowls that I've coached. They're that kind of players."
It is important to keep in mind that Philips has been an NFL coach for nearly four decades. He has seen hundreds of corners go through the NFL ranks on their respective paths to stardom, but after all these years, he feels that the Broncos have something special in their former Jayhawk turned Broncos ball-hawking duo and even mentioned the progress of two other corners fighting for position on the Broncos depth chart.
"They're really talented, and our other guys — [Bradley] Roby's coming along and [Tony] Carter's coming along."
Isn't it great to wake up to some positively awesome news about our favorite team? Absolutely! We will continue our training camp coverage — so stay tuned for the latest tidbits from Dove Valley over the course of the day. Take care and as always, thanks for reading!
