The fourth preseason game usually provides backups with an opportunity to make a statement, especially at the quarterback position, where the Broncos have had a solid competition for reps leading up to the start of the regular season.
Head Coach John Fox didn’t reveal who would start tomorrow night in Arizona against the Cardinals after his team practiced this afternoon in shells, but he described what he’ll be looking for when one of his quarterbacks takes the field.
“Lead the team — I think No. 1, first and foremost, that’s the job of the quarterback,” Fox said. “We’ll be looking at all of them and how well they direct the offense. Each week we’re trying to get better and it will be no different tomorrow night.”
Fox reiterated that he’s been pleased with the progression of each of his signal-callers, and he’s looking forward to seeing them compete Thursday.
“I like our quarterback situation,” Fox said. “I feel good about the players we have at the position and as well as they keep working hard and remain professional about it and getting better every day, I’m sure I’ll continue those feelings.”
After the quarterback discussion, Fox was asked if anyone in particular had stood out to him with the regular season fast-approaching and his middle linebacker came to mind.
“On a short look, a guy that comes to mind is (LB) Joe Mays,” Fox said. “He’s a guy that had limited action a year ago.
We had seen him a little bit in Philadelphia. Playing in the 3-4 is a little bit different than playing in the 4-3, and I like the way he’s gone about his business thus far.”
As for the team as a whole, Fox said his group is working steadily to meet their own high expectations.
“They’ve had a good mindset and a good attitude throughout the process,” Fox said. “Even though it’s been a short time I think we’ve made some progress, but as we go into the regular season, we’ll find out.”

Travis Henry, he didn’t have the munchies, he had babies instead, LOL.
If we keep 4 TEs you may have your wish with Virgil but the issue with McBath is his smallish size for a NFL safety and therefore staying healthy.
Actually Moore and Carter are about the same size as McBath, but Dawk, Bruton and McCarthy are bigger.
Well, enough work for tonight, but that was fun, got me to learn more about our roster.
Have a good one.
I honestly didnt think picking 27 players would be that tough but here is my thoughts:
Anderson, David WR
Ball, Lance RB
Beal, Jeremy DE
Bowen, Alvin LB
Brown, Ronnell DT
Byers, Jeff G
Cox, Perrish CB
Davis, Britt WR
Goodwin, D’Andre WR
Grant, Adam T
Gronkowski, Dan TE
Hamler, Jamel WR
Harris, Chris CB
Hauschka, Steven K
Hunter, Jason DE
McBath, Darcel S
Minor, Brandon RB
Mohamed, Mike MLB
Olsen, Eric G
Orton, Greg WR
Pressley, DeMario DT
Ramirez, Manny G
Riley, Eron WR
Robinson, Lee LB
Sylvester, Austin RB
Unrein, Mitch DT
Weber, Adam QB
PS additions:
Weber, Davis, Robinson, Ball, Hunter, Mohamed, Olsen, McBath
Although given Prater’s DUI, I can see keeping Hauschka on the PS for now.
Favorite Broncos artist to listen to in practice is TI. No doubt.

with D thomas and warren on PUP although i heard warren cant be on pup since he played in a preseason game if so then id have to say the
26th would be either david anderson or sylvester
Why would Cox get cut?
With his pending legal troubles, could lead to jail time, suspensions, etc. My thoughts are that he is pretty much guilty considering he lied about having sex with her but its his baby. That is kinda hard to happen without sex…I just think the broncos should cut ties with him now instead of the distraction that he could become.
I would agree and therefore I put Cox on my list and add Virgil to the roster.
Put Cox on my cut list that is..
I saw some lists up here saying David Anderson should be cut. What preseason games did you watch. The guy can catch the ball!
That wasn’t me, haha.
Why would Cox get cut?
