X-Factors

Bradley Roby-CB

With Chris Harris Jr. sitting out Friday’s preseason game, Bradley Roby will be paired with Aqib Talib on the first team defense. Bradley Roby had a solid 2014 campaign as a rookie and will look to build off of that. His 2014 numbers include 65 tackles, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles.

Bradley Roby has a nose for the football as we have seen when he played in 2014. Perhaps the one play that turned my head was his defended pass in the first game of the season against the Indianapolis Colts on fourth down to seal the game. He is also a sure fire tackler, which makes him a solid cornerback for the team.

Joe Don Duncan-FB/TE

With the Broncos starting the zone blocking scheme era, the full back and tight end positions will be used quite a bit. Joe Don Duncan has had quite an impressive camp during the dog days of summer. This will be his first NFL game and he’s looking to make a huge impact.

While we may not see Joe Don Duncan until late in the first half or early second half, it should be his chance to prove that he deserves a spot on the Broncos roster. I fully expect him to be out there blocking, catching passes, and I’ll even go on a limb and say he will get a rushing touchdown from the one yard line.
