Denver will like what they saw Friday night.

It was enough for some Seahawks players to joke that Carroll needed medical attention.
Gary Kubiak’s goal in the offseason was to bridge the gap between the Denver Broncos’ star-studded starting lineup and the backups. He did not disappoint.
If the game against Seattle was any indication of what Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips can mold the Broncos 2015 defense into the rest of the NFL should take notice.
The second-biggest takeaway from the play?
At the other corner spot, newcomer Cary Williams looks to have the current lead as the starter, getting the most work with the ones. I’m sure he’ll get Demaryius (Thomas) going right away.
The defense played great as well.
The 27-year-old hasn’t directly addressed exactly what his problem is with the four-year, $28 million extension he signed in 2013, but according to a Thursday report from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Chancellor expected to be rewarded with a new contract from Seattle after developing into one of the league’s most feared defenders. But 29 yards in first half in total defense is impressive. He’s been a training camp highlight and a player who’s been hyped since draft day. He stuffed the run and consistently got after the quarterback. Lemuel Jeanpierre got pushed around at center, and Justin Britt looked more like the overmatched rookie of last September than the much-improved, promising stud of December.
“Seattle was ranked 30th in average yards per kickoff return and 31st in kick return yards last season”.
If Bailey can turn in a strong performance, he could be playing with the first string come the second preseason game.
Shane Ray was simply explosive Friday night. The Gamepass allows users to replay all 256 regular season games on-demand, in HD. He was lightning fast on the edges of the line and was in the backfield pestering the quarterback constantly. Do you go out of your way to help the new guy? It’s what makes him great. His first preseason game could hardly have gone better.
“My confidence level is just believing in myself. We’re just going to keep working it and see what happens”. He caught five passes for 45 and a touchdown. Then, he just started showing off.
Expect the Denver Broncos vs. the Seattle Seahawks game to be televised on 10:00 PM EST on the NFL Network. Osweiler was told by John Fox he would start the third quarter.
After the game, Hillman praised his offensive line. Let’s hope they do. Of course they were not ideal.
Archer finished with 110 yards on 11-for-20 attempts and one score.
“For me, personally, I love to run‐block”. I think that is good.
“Much appreciation to @Kam_Chancellor & @Earl_Thomas for taking me under their wings for a year in preparing me for my NFL debut!!” Of course not, but the former are all making more than the latter due to the timing of their deals. “And lo and behold you usually show up and play well”. He also became the first player ever to have a four-time All-American status in the Kansas’ football program, the site added. His kick offs were decent but none got out of the end zone. Denver gave up three big returns including a 103-yard return for a touchdown by Tyler Lockett.
Bridesmaid Brock came on for the Broncos’ final possession of the half and promptly threw two incompletions.
The Broncos put up two more field goals in the 2 quarter.
It will take time for Lockett to grow as a receiver in Seattle’s offense, but it’s not unusual to see a rookie make an immediate impact on special teams. He tried to grab the ball above his neck and it bounced off his hands and into the arms of a waiting Seahawk.
For now, McManus is Colquitt’s best friend. That was good for a whopping 8.3 yards per carry, and he had a long run of 23 yards.

Both the Seahawks and Broncos have issues on the offensive line that’ll begin to shake out. “They pushed the d‐line off the ball”.
