Quarterback Brock Osweiler stands 6-feet-7-inches tall.
The Broncos just want to make sure he plays that tall.
Osweiler spent the past few months working on his delivery and footwork, making sure his throwing motion is ready for NFL action.
“The main thing is getting my elbow raised up,” he explained. “A lot of times in college, my elbow would drop below my shoulder, if you will. When you do that, you lose velocity, you lose accuracy, you’re less consistent with your throws. We basically made a huge point to bring that elbow up to a more traditional throwing motion and get it above my shoulder.”
“Now the biggest thing is to transition those training sessions out here to the practice field.”
After one day of practice, Head Coach John Fox said he has noticed Osweiler is starting to do just that.
“He has to use his height advantage a little bit better with that higher delivery,” he explained. “He’s an accurate passer and I think he became more accurate.”
Osweiler said he already feels “very comfortable” with the new throwing motion, and noticed an uptick in his accuracy — “where I was trying to put the ball, for the most part, the ball ended up there.”
The quarterback said he’ll keep building on that progress, not only throughout this rookie minicamp, but as long as it takes until it’s second nature.
“As a quarterback, you can always get better, you can always improve upon what you do and your skill-set,” he said. “So yes, of course I’ll be working on it the next two-to-three months a lot. But probably the next two-to-three years as well.”
But even with so much on his plate, Osweiler said his first NFL practice wasn’t overwhelming.
“It was fun, to be honest.” he said. “It was a lot of fun. When you first get that playbook, you’re seeing all these different formations and pass concepts and runs and protections. To finally get out there on the field and kind of put it all together – I thought we did a pretty good job on offense and I had a lot of fun out there today.”

tlc…..as long as we got Wolfe!!!!!!!!!
so it would go like this cat… I put up a day of guided fishing for you and a friend ($500 value) and you put up equal value (or whatever you feel is fair) in the form of a donation to St Jude on behalf of Me and the Broncos?
sounds like a win win… but hey, if all like to do is squawk about Old Man’ing its all good… have at it, you’re not the only one
Hey, I got Wolfe straightened out today, I feel good about that! Twitter is amazing! Broncos Country
Im a Catholic school teacher. Not betting!
Cat Pats do it as a whole offensive unit. Manning does it by his throws. You can prepare for throws. The Pats surprises are things that they havnt used before. Like Hernendez at RB running the ball. Pats do those kind of surprises. Theres a difference.
Tannehill is overrated also but not more than Poe IMO.
I think BFE and AB just bet a faiders tat… that’s hardcore… !!!
One Love in Broncos Country!!!
B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!
BT I will never bet a Faiders tat onto a Broncos fan.
LOL! Ok, just saying with our TE and Decker and Thomas, I think we can be quite dangerous… Just as dangerous as Tom Brady. But we agree to disagree. I say no more.
did you guys ever here the SNL skit about ‘Tattoo’s against your Will’… Hilarious!
I’m headed to bed! See you guys in a few days. Go Broncos!!!! (And Go Nuggets!)

Go Lakers!!!
Hey Turtle that Faiders tat ain’t happening bro,I’m mean but not that F’N mean!!!!!!!!!
AB……don’t be scared bro…..I’ll be tender……HAHA!!!!!!!
BFE
hehe… I would be that mean…
and not really consider it mean, I’d think of it more as a life lesson about Popping off!!!
Tomorrow Game 7 man!!! should be great! I love Ron Artest/World Peace whatever, that guys all bight no bark!
But I’m NUGGETS all the way!
Hey Turtle wanna bet on the Lakers/Nuggets game….how would you like a Lakers tattoo???????

I’ll get a Nuggets tattoo if they win and post it on the blog,if the Lakers win you post a real true Lakers tattoo bro???
WHAT SAY YE????????????????BFE!!!!!!!!!
No bite????????/
Where in Hell did you go bro???????????????

BFE
BT…….You are the biggest popper off!!!!!!!!
I’ll teach you a life lesson..if you dare..ByGod!!!!!
Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!
BFE
That’s What I thought…….no takers…LAKERS RULE THE NUGGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BFE
I’m getting ready to head to bed Beast!
I’m a casual Nugget fan… so can’t really say that would be prudent… never popped off about Basketball
You hit the Shine yet?
Turtle….I know you’re up…just don’t wanna put you money where your’e big mouth is,I wouldn’t either if I was you!!!!!!
BFE
Don’t be silly bro… My money and mouth are all about the broncos…
Time to sign off!
Have good morning BFE…
NO still on beer…..Turtle got plenty left!!!lol.
peace out Turtle……..life lessons ain’t learned when you run off…LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man… some of us got to work all the time! I’m an insomniac, but I do like to get a couple hours… my life lessons are learned in life… this is more of a social activity! I do enjoy you (when you’re sober!!!)
Peace bro
I work too bro,but don’t run my mouth without backing it up,I’m not drunk(you never enjoy me) you want to bet against our beloved Broncos,but run your mouth about my Lakers,put up or shut the F up,I gave you a bet and you turned me down,said I was drunk,I AM NOT…….you sir are a chicken…..block…block!!!!!!!!!!!
BFE………and back down from no one!!!!!!!!!!!!
You said you weren’t against tats to give a lifes lesson learned to AB,but when it came to you,you gracefully bowed out,I would too,if I was up against the Lakers!!!
BFE
AB,I know you’re out there!!!!!!!
Lol. BFE watching some Big Brock film. I really hope hes the 3rd string QB I dont want to mess up his development by having him start early. Gotta say how great I am to see him working on his throwing motion. His used to annoy me so much!!!!
AB…..he will be fine behind PM for 3-5 years,imo!
Turtle is all mouth,LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol I agree BFE. I think at least he will be a Flacco type QB which doesnt bother me cause IMO Flacco is underrated. Haine will be fine as 2nd string or starter IF Manning goes down (which I doubt) Haine IMO did decent in Chicago with no Oline and no Weapons. Its hard to be good with neither of those.
AB…where do you think Weber will be?
BFE everytime I see you post Whoah like that it reminds me of the NFLN crews Te-ee-bow Whooo-oooaaahhh LOL
I think Weber will be gone.
BFE… I’ll bet you Raider Tat… on the Season if you really are sober…
If you’re buzzed sleep it off…
I’ll talk to you tomorrow…
Now I’m really out…
B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!
Hell no I wanna bet on the Lakers/Nuggets game tomorrow night game 7…put up or shut up Turtle!!!!!!!
Hasnt Adam Weber been on the PS since he was brought to Denver? Which was two years ago right?
I wouldn’t get a f’n Raider tat if you gave me my own heirloom dude……I gotta lot of tats but a Nugget Tat wouldn’t hurt….put up or shut the F up!!!!!!!!!!
BFE
FTR!!!!!!!!!!!!
TURTLE WENT BACK IN HIS SHELL!!!!!!!!!
LMFAO……..I THOUGHT SO……EVERYBODY IS SCARED OF THE LAKERS AND KOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol BFE World Peace is going to be a big difference maker in that game!!!! He brings a dominant defensive presence. Also he adds another decent shooter besides Kobe.
If Adam Weber has been on the PS for the last two years he cant be on it again. So he has to make roster or goes elsewhere.
Turtle don’t even think I don’t have the intelligence to battle you bro…..I’ve done drunk almost a case of Bud Light and still put you to shame……..you try to put me down for drinking,but I still put you to shame….lmfao!!!!!!!!!
BFE
AB….the Lakers kick ass tomorrow night,that’s when the crying starts!!!!!!!!!
Damn I can finally see 3 beers left in my cooler…..got 2 towers of BL cans in front of me…lol.
Lol BFE I gotta admit I sit pretty. I would be fine with either team winning. Lakers are #1 though. So I hope they win but be ok with the Nuggs winning. Lol
