ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – On the same day top Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas participated in his first full practice, Emmanuel Sanders had to leave practice early with a sore right hamstring. Regardless of punting half of his video games at mile-high elevation, Colquitt was 28th in internet punting common and 24th in gross common final yr. “I know he’s going to be beating my door down to be out there every day”.

But now a week into camp, Thomas is getting caught up. Peyton Manning has returned to training camp showing no lingering effects of the injuries that impacted his play late last season.
Linebacker Brandon Marshall (foot) also returned to team drills for the first time. His fate was sealed when incumbent Britton Colquitt accepted a $1.4 million pay Tuesday and the Broncos continued to have health issues along the D-line. “Actually, I was home [Wednesday]”. Guess I could look it up, but it doesn’t really matter. “That’s the most important thing since I could just start and go fast instead of thinking the whole time”.
At 39, a lot of Manning’s game is predicated on timing and accuracy, so being able to stretch the seam by firing a laser down the middle on a deep post is something of a luxury, but there’s no doubt that the Broncos’ offense becomes significantly more risky if he has that ability. My mentality is by the end of the fourth quarter, we want to feel your soul wilt in our hands.
“I think that he will make it in this league, ” Kubiak said. The timing, it’s good. “I know this: He would like to get everything he can get out of this year, and see what happens”.

While Thomas is still learning the playbook, that doesn’t mean he isn’t thinking about goals for the team. Letting Manning do basically nothing on selected days in August is the right formula for preparing him to be fully unsafe in January. You won’t hurt Demaryius Thomas’ feelings. “I think today the coaches wanted to see what we could do running with the ones and we’ll go back to the film to see how we did”. “The more we run the ball and the more success we have in running the ball, it’ll open up more for receivers to have big plays down the field”.
