Denver Broncos: OTAs Observations, Notes and Quotes from Week 2

The Denver Broncos continued their OTAs at team headquarters on Tuesday. With one week of work done at Dove Valley, the team took some time off during the Memorial Day weekend. Now, they’re back in action with the task of building a defense of their Super Bowl 50 championship.

First and foremost, the Broncos need to find a new starting quarterback. The reps have all been split evenly between Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian and rookie first-round pick Paxton Lynch.

Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak likes the group of quarterbacks he has to work with.

“I’m very comfortable with our three guys right now,” Kubiak said. “I love the competition that’s going on. I think every day has been a little bit different.

“One of them has had a good day—I think it’s bounced around a little bit. Time is going to tell. They’re all very capable of helping this football team win. That’s why they’re here.”

Here are some day-one observations, interesting notes and revealing quotes from the start of the second week of camp.

 

QB Rotation

Kubiak made it clear that he wants to get all the quarterbacks involved as practice goes along. Sanchez, Siemian and Lynch are all taking turns with the first-, second- and third-team offenses.

Kubiak explained the quarterback split after practice: “We’re going right down the middle. What we’re trying to do is make sure that they all get their opportunities to work with the first groups. We’re all working together. I think we’ll continue that way throughout the OTAs.”

Lynch is learning a lot, and he’s not bothered by the rotation at quarterback.

“At the end of the day, you’re going to be throwing to a bunch of different guys,” Lynch said. “You’re not going to be throwing to one group of receivers the whole time. The fact that you can get in there with all of those guys and kind of get a feel with all those guys, I think it’s good.”

Sanchez is the seasoned veteran, and he’s energized by the competition at the position. He’s also staying positive with what he can do even though the pecking order at quarterback is not set.

“It’s fun,” Sanchez said. “It’s got to be fun or you shouldn’t be out here. When you go from team to team, the most important thing you can do is control what you can, not worry about anybody else, put the ball where it’s supposed to be, make the right decision with the football and move on.”

Siemian has been pegged a sleeper at the position. According to Kubiak, Siemian is ahead of the other two from the mental side of things. He worked in the offense last year, and that has an advantage for Siemian in this quarterback battle.

“I think it’s a little unique definitely compared to last year with those two guys,” Siemian said. “I’m a year in, but there still is a lot to learn. I think I’m trying to do a good job of remembering that and …
