Denver Dailies: Broncos Roundup (Friday Edition)

Broncos’ Elvis Dumervil, Von Miller pack combination punch if healthy - The guys who get paid to face the Broncos defense during the regular season know they won’t get to see the good stuff until September.  And the best of that good stuff will be what first-year coordinator Jack Del Rio does with a luxury most defensive coordinators don’t really have around the league. Del Rio has not one, but two edge rushers with the ability to lead the league in sacks.  Read more from the Denver Post >>>>

Broncos’ Jacob Tamme seizes chance to hone skills vs. elite cornerback - During his time at the University of Kentucky, Broncos tight end Jacob Tamme handled his business in the classroom well enough to earn academic All-Southeastern Conference honors in four consecutive seasons.  Which means he knows a good thing when he sees it.  And when Champ Bailey, an 11-time Pro Bowl selection, was ready to leave a drill this week as Tamme jumped in to line up, Tamme asked him to stay. Tamme asked him because he knows the return on working with a player like Bailey far outweighs the potential difficulty in facing one of the best defensive backs of his generation.  Read more from the Denver Post >>>>

Manning, Offense Continue to Jell – Peyton Manning’s assimilation into the Denver Broncos offense isn’t complete, but after eight days of training camp, substantial progress has been made.  Manning showed a crisp connection with wide receiver Eric Decker in the opening days of camp.

Broncos’ upgrade to Peyton Manning is no passing fancy –  It was a seven-on-seven drill midway through a training camp session, essentially pitch-and-catch for any quarterback and his wide receivers.  More than 4,000 fans wedged into the tree-shaded grassy banks overlooking the practice fields at Dove Valley, all eyes locked on Peyton Manning, the Denver Broncos’ marquee offseason acquisition.  Read more from USA Today >>>> 

For Broncos, best training is across the line - The biggest benefit to training camp can often be working against teammates who are among the NFL’s elite at their position. For the Denver Broncos, that works on both sides of the ball.  Quarterback Peyton Manning’s quick tempo and constant changes at the line of scrimmage forces the Broncos’ defense to be on its toes and make the correct adjustments on the fly.  Read more from Lindy’s Sports >>>>
