LT Garett Bolles and LG Dalton Risner

The Broncos have a dynamic duo on their hands on the left side of the offensive line.

Garett Bolles and Dalton Risner were punishing guys from the Seahawks in the team’s previous game, and the bash brothers will get a tough test from a solid 49ers defensive front.

The Broncos desperately needed Bolles to take a leap and having Risner at the left guard spot is a major reason he’s been looking so good through training camp and a couple of games.

Bolles has always had talent. Now he needs to consistently put it together and it seems like something is clicking.

The Broncos made a critical hire this offseason by bringing in Mike Munchak from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Munchak wanted to be close to his family, the Broncos wanted him as a position coach, and everyone gets what they want here. Win-win-win.

Garett Bolles is getting better. Risner has always been considered a top-flight prospect with great technique and refined skills.

These two will be fun to watch, even in preseason play.
