1) Kyle Orton and first team Denver offense looked really good. Anytime you get two touchdowns on three possessions with your first team offense, it is considered a good day for a preseason game. Orton throw two touchdowns, one to Eddie Royal and one to Brandon Lloyd, and he looked very smooth in the process.
2) Jabar Gaffney makes plays in this offense. He played really well and made some big plays in limited time. He could be a sleeper for fantasy purposes.
3) The first team defense didn't give up any points and played pretty well against the run. It was evident that the pass rush was lacking, but we have to see more reps out of the unit to really get a feel.
4) Champ Bailey looked like he was in midseason form. He absolutely played great and made some big plays while shutting down both Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson.
5) Darcel McBath continues to impress and seems to have a nose for the ball. He played well in the run game and was all over the field.
6) Finally, the tebut of Tim Tebow was a pretty good debut for a rookie QB. He made some really nice throws, including a beautiful pass that was dropped by Matt Willis down the sideline. He had some rough moments and took quite a shot on a blitz, but that is going to be expected for a rookie QB in a preseason game. He had some trouble finding where the blitzes were coming from, but his ability to throw on the run was impressive. He should continue to progress as the preseason continues, and I think the hype about his throwing motion is overrated because he gets the ball there and with some zip on it.
