Denver Broncos training camp day two reactions and observations
Standout players: Defense
via Cameron Parker
For the defensive side of the ball, the Denver Broncos have two players in the secondary that had solid days or on day two.
De’Vante Bausby continues to make plays in coverage proving to be a ball hawk. Bausby could be a Lorenzo Doss camp story or he can fulfill what Doss did not and have the practice field translate to games.
Meanwhile, Su’a Cravens had himself a very strong outing. He had an interception today and the swagger immediately translated to better play. Cravens showed his range, athleticism and want to when around the football. This is a sign for the Denver Broncos that Cravens may be turning the corner. Again, before making any rash decisions we need to see more than one day.
Linebacker Justin Hollins was a sight to behold. He is a physical specimen that appears to be athletic enough to play inside and outside linebacker. At one point today, Hollins was out wide covering tight end Troy Fumagalli. If that’s any indication of the athleticism of Hollins, Denver will see plenty of him in the defense.
That’s the type of versatility the Broncos defense has been lacking for quite some time. They need a player capable of covering running backs and tight ends at least adequately enough to get the job done. Hollins can fit that bill.
Speaking of linebacker, the loss of Todd Davis allows the depth to be tested quickly. One that was a surprise, but a welcome one is Alexander Johnson stepping into the role of Davis’ shoes.
Next. Training camp day one notes and updates. dark
Johnson is a bruising, run-stuffing machine capable of racking up a lot of tackles. He saw the first initial work in that spot. This will potentially be something to monitor going forward.
