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.”

BFE
BFE Careful you might get banned again.
Dropped Netflix about a month ago,when they raised their rates again,I dropped them,I hated too,but couldn’t really afford it,actually I can but ain’t gonna pay it!!!!!!
Well if a Turtle is gonna show off his shell,he outta be proud of what’s inside the shell too,not the 1st time we crossed shells…lol.
Lol. We just has instant. 9 bucks for 6 different devices using it? IMO Thats pretty darn good. Lol especially for 8 people.
Yeah if you’re gonna get just instant…it’s worth it,imo!
I’ll probably end up getting it back,we’ve dropped it like 5 or 6 times……..I dunno?
Well AB it’s almost 4:00 AM here in the East……I guess I’ll go to bed…definitely talk to you Tomorrow bro!
BFE
I think I wanna get a Big Brock Jersey. I dunno. I dont want to get a Manning. My dads getting that.
Peace out BFE!
@AB:
Kind of a late reply, but I gotta disagree with your bro…when you said “Bowe has always been consistent against Denver often making Bailey look like a rookie. ”
Champ would see differ,,,aha,,I remembered 2 seasons ago, Bowe was playing lights out!!probably his best year, catching a TD in every game leading up to the Denver game. I vividly recall Bailey shutting him down to zero catches?didnt reach the endzone….
But yes, Bowe has always been a threat,,,,not in Champ’s book….
Lol B20 Did you miss the second Chiefs Denver game this past year? Bowe was all over Bailey. And that was with Orton throwing the ball…..
aha AB…..yea I remember that game…Hated ORTON more after that game. Only the score was 7-3…and it was a rushing TD from McCluster… Bowe only had 6 receptions i think and didnt go over the century mark.. Our offense failed that game…IMO
but yeah,, even at this age Champ is still the best in my book…
Not saying Champ still isnt great IMO Champ is the top corner in the NFL because he does it all and is a better leader than Revis ever will be!
But Bowe has his number. 6 catches 93 yards that game.
I dont like Bowe but he always has good games against Denver.
2007 Game 1 9 for 105 Game 2 2 for 35
2008 Game 1 7 for 85 Game 2 7 for 96
2009 1 for 6. Got hurt that play was out rest of year. Missed 2nd game.
2010 13 for 186 in game 1. Game two he didnt play.
2011 Game 1 2 for 17. (His worst game against Denver)
So Bowe and Bailey kinda go back and forth. Bowe though has had the better games. He was lined up against Champ every game.
I hated Orton before that game. He was the ONLY player to wear a Denver uniform I have ever hated.
I know im going to get a lot of crap aas I already have and be called not a “true” fan because I dont think Denver will make the playoffs let alone win the division. I dont care. Its my opinion and have reasons behind my opinion. I think they will only lose 1 division game and 5 outside the division. 10-6. Chiefs and Chargers I think will go 11-5 one wins the division other a wild card.
So if your going to say im not a “true” fan kiss my a$$. Its my opinion.
That being said im done talking about it. Lol.
Sleeping in the same bed with a pregnant girlfriend whos a blanket hog and always moving makes sleep next to impossible. Ugh!!
ahha,,,, I’ll definitely agree with you on Hatin the ONLY player to don the Bronco uni…… speaking of our GREAT CB..
I’d love to see Champ in his Prime againts Megatron… When Champ was in his prime, no qb dared looking at him..Brady did that in the endzone one game and Champ took all the way back for 96 yrds,,,that play keeps showing on NFL highlight reels.
Revis isnt even on the same island as Champ…they’ve probably mistaken Revis’s littl sand dune in a creek for an island..ahah
What about if Sanders was playing againts Megatron. Would he fare any diffr.????
That was my favorite play in the past 10 years. I hated Brady then and the Pats. Was screaming when Bailey was running for the TD. So many Pat fans to this day still say that wasnt a TD. LOL
Revis is good but he cant do it all like Bailey and isnt the leader Bailey is.
Champ in his prime would shut down Megatron easily!!! Sanders also!!!

Talking about it made me want to share it.
Never mind Lol. I thought it was a TD. Lol bad memory. Lol
champ is top notch and will be around for a good bit more time. i still say when hes too ‘old’ for corner he could be moved to safety and be elite there too for a cupla years. good player to have. but he may still have 2 years at cb left in him. quite a player. great trade made by denver when we sent portis to washington. portis has been ineffective for a few years now and bailey is still elite. we definately got the good end of that deal! i would never trade an elite young cb for a young rb because the corner in most cases will give many more years of elite service to his team.
KC did not go 12-4 two years ago, they went 10-6. They also had one of the easiest schedules I have ever seen in my life, not an exaggeration, take a look at their opponents that year. Remember that SF was awful that year.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/kan/schedule?view=list&season=2010
NE is a great team, but they do have two weaknesses. Their secondary and run game. Last year we could not exploit their secondary, expect that to change under Manning. They replaced the Law Firm with Joesph Addai. Their game is all about throwing the ball, and we replaced Goodman with both Porter and Florence.
SD not only lost Vincent Jackson, but loosing Mike Tolbert is equally as bad IMO. Matthews is similar to Moreno, good when healthy, but can’t stay on the field IMO.
and ab i certainly would never question wether your fandom. no doubt in my mind your a true fan and i certainly dont think that predicting us to have worse records than our biggest rivals makes you somehow less of a fan. its your opinion. and thats fine. but i completely disagree. we will win the division and win at least the 1st playoff game but will be legitimate contenders for the superbowl. now i know we have a lot of work to do and we are not a dominating team yet, and your prediction could very well be right on, but i just think with manning, if he stays on the field, and if we dont suffer a rash of injuries, we are good enough to compete with anyone. some games will be tough and we will lose a few, but what we were last year will be no more. if we could do what we did with tebow at the helm, then my god imagine peyton back there. i know tons of luck went into alot of those wins but we still had to be in those games for luck to be a factor. i do think san diego will be really good tho, and our games with them will be some fun. man i hate the chargers and would love for us to sweep them. trust me manning wants to put it to the chargers too, he has lost to them in some really important games in the past. so he’ll be amped up and i cant wait to see how he does! GO BRONCOS……. 6-0 IN THE DIVISION THIS YEAR!!!!!!
IMO, champ is still elite. He locks down wr’s when its needed. Funny how people rag on him when they see him in the general area of a wr getting a catch. Unless you know the scheme, switchoffs, you’re talking outta your butt.
But of course, that’s only my opine.
wow tsunami. 2 really good points. shoulda ended it with ‘take that ab’…. cuz you just rained bombs down on the premise of alot of his earlier posts. i wish i coulda come up with those posts last night tsunami!! and just messing with ya ab dont go all crazy on me….
and ya know when ab was saying the chiefs went 12-4 two years ago i was even thinking ‘man i cant remember that happening so recently’ but i kinda moved on from it. thanks for the clarification tsunami, we dont need to be giving those chef punks anything they didnt earn!!!
Lol. Trust me, I’m not down playing the Pats, they are a great team. I just think we will match up well against them this year seeing how our potential weakness is stopping the run, when they have none, and their weakness is defending the pass, and we now have Manning.
I think the Alsakan is just trying to temper expectations IMO, which is a good thing, as we can’t get too overly confident. One game at a time, but I’m liking our odds!
Skilz, OC, BFE: Got your BBBPs and have them recorded.
B-T Will be e-mailing you in next day or two.
i’d like to put in for the bbbp southstander. i say the broncos have a 4.000 yd passer and a 1,000 yd rusher and a rookie on our team will win rookie of the year honors (offense or defense). that qualify as a bbbp?
The Pats lined up Julian Edelman (WR) in the secondary last year, because of lack of depth. The safety they drafted in the 3rd was a huge head scratcher, and they also drafted Dennard (CB), who most likely is headed to prison for assaulting a police officer.. They also ignored the RB position, and are not only thin there, but got also got older at the position..
Great article about Garland in the DP, for anyone who missed it. Hope this kid turns into a beast! He can be Wolfeman’s spotter!!!
http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_20606793/air-force-officer-ben-garland-taking-aim-at
rcsodak Hate to say this but Bailey has lost a step. He is still the best CB in the league IMO as I said earlier. However he does get beat on man coverage more than zone due to that lost step. Im assuming you do know the difference?
OT Yes part of it was my trying to lower everyones expectations. I said a little before I stated how I thought Denver would do a little after I said how im tired of seeing all the SB win predictions. But I do still think Denver will go 10-6 missing the playoffs. Sorry I was wrong about KC. 10-6 not 12-4. I still think KC will be a lot tougher than anyone thinks by who they are getting back from IR. Chargers have lost on offense VJax and Tolbert. But they have made moves to make up for those losses. Also added to their D. Pats tore us up Hernendez running the ball. They have never had one star back they do it by committee all the time and still have a decent running game. Also they added a lot of WRs that Denver even with Porter and Florence Denver will still have a hard time with them. They also improved their D. Passing D is still their weakness but I dont think its going to be as poor as it was last year. If your going to look at who weve gained or they lost you need to also look at who they added and get back.
I dont think Denver gets blown out at all. Every game lost will be close. Like I said, I just dont think Denver has made quite enough moves also have to include the time it will take for our team to gel on both sides of the ball. Which is why I have 5 of 6 losses happening week 8 or before.
I also want to say again that I hope I am wrong about this. It is just my opinion based on what weve done compared to the teams we play. Also if it happens I wont be as disappointed as I would be if I thought 13-3 with a AFC championship appearance at least. Consider it a kind of superstition for me. Also I saw a lot of responses about Manning. Well I took Manning into account. Like I said might win 5 games MAYBE if Tebow was the QB now its a solid 10 with Manning.
BFE… Good luck to your Phakers tonight… Hope they are as good a putting the ball in the hoop as you are at running your mouth when someones not around!!!
N-U-G-G-E-T-S NUGGETS NUGGETS NUGGETS!!!
I understand you drink alot man, but you just lose control when you have a couple too many… Funny when I mention a real bet about the Broncos you lost your stones, but not your vocal cords! Nice Work Dude!!!
One Love in Broncos Country!!! B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!
all Denver baby… True Orange and Blue forever!!! Norm and Daisy say hello! they are in the yard enjoying the sunshine, and I’m going to go work on a rental house this afternoon!!!!
PEACE
Now to get focus off that cause im tired of explaining why I think that over and over again lol
Saw an article completely based on opinion. Has nothing to do with what actual people are think (I dont think) But I thought it was interesting so ill see what some peoples thoughts on here are.
Should the NFL add a farm/minor league system like other sports?
Want to post this joke I heard a while ago. Its funny IMO but some may take it as a bad joke.
Manning was wanted so bad in a Bronco uniform. Last time someone was wanted in a Bronco that bad was June 17 1994 when OJ Simpson was wanted so bad in his White Bronco!
LOL I at least find it funny
I hear ya. I just think this is the first year in a long time that us Broncos fans have a legitimate reason for optimism. I also understand the skeptics position as well, as we’ve been burned so many times in the past.. We all have different views, which is great! For me, I think we’re going to have a great season (but I never bet on or against my own team), but I’m also well aware that the wheels can completely fall off the bus.. However, I’ll deal with said repairs when/if they occur..
Lol OT. To what I said about hoping im wrong. I actually went into old files at work to check. The past 5 years my record prediction for Denver was always off by two games. Whats even better is that they won two more game than I predicted. Now that I see that I think its going to be a new superstition….. LOL
I heard a similar one last year, but it went something like this:
With Tebowmania in full swing, the last time a white Bronco got so much attention was when OJ Simpson was on the run..
Lol OT See I find those jokes funny. My dad hates them though. But I wasnt around to see him play and he was arrested two years after I was born so I only know he hacked up his wife and all that Lol.
What do you think about the NFL installing a farm or minor league system? (Same thing different names lol)
I am more on the optimism side. Win or Lose they are still my Broncos! I also liked the teams 11 building program all the ofensive line men and went through at the biltmore. I think the team is more grounded this year.
ILMSDB.

I completely understand where you’re coming from though. To people at work or friends out here, who are not Broncos fans, I am totally down playing the whole Manning thing, as to not set myself up.. I don’t mind Giants fans at all, but I loathe Jets and Patriots fans, both are extremely obnoxious! I must say though, there is a distinct increase in the level of respect I receive out here as a Bronco fan after this offseason, which is very refreshing after the last few years…
I enjoy those kind of jokes as well. You have to be able to laugh at yourself IMO. Any good comic would tell you that!
OT true. Whats the saying? Laughter is the best medicine of all? Patch Adams would tell you that
AB – I love the idea of a proper NFL farm system, and I think we discussed it here a ways back. There is a lot of talent that goes undrafted, and I believe the draft used to be 12 rounds, correct me if I’m wrong. I think it should be in Europe, and the teams should wear the same uni’s and be called they same name, like the London Broncos, which would help build the team brand, increase sales, and also help people in other parts of the world keep informed of what’s going on in the NFL. This would serve a dual purpose of building a nice talent pool, as well achieving the commissioners goal of globalization.
Boy Friday Night Blogs was cookin. Alot of fun.
FTR
OT Thats actually much of what I thought. Except the same names and all that Nice touch!!! Yes 12 rounds. Its a good way to help younger players get better and learn the game with vets playing in the NFL. Not to mention it would add a lot of jobs. I mean you have more players playing instead of having a job over hear which a avg joe could have that job. Also would be a good way to groom coaches too I think. Every year have a set number of players you have to bring up from your farm team. Increase the draft back to 12 rounds. Would cost money to get it going but would end up making a lot more money IMO.
