1) Kyle Orton again led the Broncos offense on multiple scoring drives. He moved the Broncos 10 offensive points against the Steelers defense. Orton led two touchdown drives in the first preseason game at Cincy, two touchdown drives against Detroit, and 10 points against Pittsburgh. That is a pretty good preseason. Maybe Orton will really deliver this year in this offense.
2) Jabar Gaffney and Eddie Royal are our go to guys. These two receivers should have very good seasons. Look for Orton to go to Gaffney in the vertical passing game, and look for Eddie Royal to bounce back catching balls in the slot. Both have looked impressive in preseason.
3) The defense played much better in this game, and it is obvious that our secondary is our strength. Andre Goodman broke the game open with a 77 yard interception return for a touchdown late in the first half. Robert Ayers got a sack and was all over the field creating havoc.
4) Tim Tebow made his debut and threw his first NFL touchdown pass to Eric Decker. Tebow entered the game in the third quarter and was 5-10 for 72 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception. He made some nice decisions and some nice throws, and he also made some bad decisions and poor throws. Troy Aikman made a good point when he said that it is time for everyone to leave his throwing motion alone and just let the kid play. I agree. Tebow's motion will be a work in progress but he gets the ball there. He is progressing like a typical rookie QB.
5) Brady Quinn did not play, and I don't know what that means for his roster spot. I still think he will be on the team, but he might get beat out by Tebow for the backup QB position. Quinn maybe relegated to emergency QB duties on gameday, while Tebow gets the backup role and can enter the game in special situations.
6) The Broncos stand at 1-2 and head to Minnesota this weekend to finish off the preseason. After the game, the Broncos will cut down and finalize their 53-man roster for the start of the 2010 season!
