The Broncos arrived back at Dove Valley earlier today on another hot sunny day, practicing in full pads once again.Newly signed Bronco, TE Dante Rosario & DL Marcus Thomas who was re-signed yesterday were in attendance at the Monday morning practice but both did not participate. Rosario spent most of the morning by the side of Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy going over tight end plays.
<< Mr. Yummy & his guns!!
For the 3rd consecutive practice, DJ Williams sat out the session to what is now a hamstring injury. I hope its not too serious as this defense does not need anymore injured players. I rid this team of the injury bug once & for all!!!!!! Watching the practice from the sidelines as well was RB Lendale White, who has yet to practice during this training camp & sat out the morning practice due to back spasms
There was some 'friendly' trash-talking going on between the offense & defense today as an entire team drill was spent on the running game. Knowshon Moreno found a gap or two and made it into the secondary but the first team defense pretty much held their own and shut the RB's down causing some friendly fire
Rookie Rahim Moore has been looking more & more solid with each practice. He had another rewarding day as he & Moreno met helmet-to-helmet on multiple occasions, with Moore winning the battles. His defensive teammates were there to applaud him for his efforts.
In some not-so-good news for Tebow fans, Kyle Orton was working with the first team offense for most of the morning session and looked okay till the defense got payback. Joe Mays intercepted a pass that was intended for Eddie Royal and had a little celebration, Champ Bailey must've felt left out because he picked the ball back up and spiked it again.
For now, it looks like Orton will be taking first team reps in training camp but I think they will be traded off as to who practices with the first team. I think it's safe to say that we do have a Tebow vs. Orton battle going on. I'll believe the 'Orton is being traded' rumors when something is sign, sealed & delivered. For now, they're just rumors. (Aussie - I also read something from Andrew Mason, he said that Jake Delhomme was a terrible practice player, but he got it done on Sunday's, so there is still hope for Tebow)
Overall, sounds like our defense had a pretty good morning. For the second day in a row, Syd'Quan Thompson got his 2nd INT from a pass by Tebow. I hope to see A LOT more of Squid on our defense this year. The kid is an INT magnet.
