Thursday's came during the one-on-one work. After blowing up a run and a pass play during the first team period of practice, Miller went up against right tackle Donald Stephenson, burst wide and then under Stephenson's right arm as he turned back to where the quarterback would stand.
Somehow, Miller did not lose any speed as he turned and went under Stephenson's arm, maintaining his stride as he burst around him.
Looks like Stephenson is living up to his 34.6 PPF rating...Donko fans think they got steal and he will help "solidify" that line. They said the same imaginary shit about Sanchez...they'll find out soon enough. [Reply]

Everything I've heard/read about the OL has been positive. Most people think the run game should be much better this year.
And of course the QB's are going to look bad against our defense. Every QB looks bad against our defense. [Reply]

That was not written as a slight to Stephenson, the entire premise of that article was how special Von Miller is... but you cut that part out :-)
Here is the part of the article you cut out....

Savor Miller, just like you did Bailey and Manning.
I would honestly take things from the official Broncos site with the view that it won't be negative. The OL and the RBs are critical to success in Kube's offense. It will be interesting to see things develop. The TEs are also very critical. [Reply]

Trust me Donald is not built for Kubes system... He needs to block in space, and he can't.

You couple those three things, together, and it spells disaster....giving a QB with a history of turnovers (fumbles and INTs) no time or run support. It's going to be fun to watch....the implosion.
Sanchez vs. that Panther defense..on national TV....priceless.
He had a great O-line and the #1 ground game with the Jets....Denver will be in the bottom 1/3 in both categories. For all of Manning's warts last season...his quick delivery masked an awful O-line. I predicted he wouldn't make it through the season...and he didnt. Sanchez is in trouble...all the QBs are. Manning could audible to get them out of bad match-ups..which greatly helped the run game. The final game against San Diego is a glaring example of this...but that advanced level of football IQ is long gone.
Kubiak's offense cant function with out a strong ground attack...anyone remember the record amount INTs for TDs that Schaub cranked out? It got Pubes fired...
Can you please link your Bronco camp source? I'd like to see it it's the same as the reports I read so I might gain another source of information. [Reply]
Stephenson has been getting positive reviews from those at Broncos camp
The guy who started at RT last year is a backup guard now
Von Miller is tearing everyone up in practice, not just Stephenson
Vance Walker, another former Chief, has also been getting a lot of praise [Reply]

Remember when I said Donko fans play pretend a lot?...it's happening with Stephenson.
He was KCs lowest-rated OL last season....34.6 in over 700 snaps logged. That a fairly large sample-size to evaluate his actual game production. We've seen him play for a few years...enough to know he sucks. There is a reason KC had no interest in retaining him...
As much as I bag on Horseface for signing Sanchez...paying Donald $5 million this season might have even been worse. When the games start...you'll see. If he's viewed as an improvement...it more a testament of how bad the RT position is in Denver.
Whoever starts at QB over there...is going to get hit. [Reply]

Still though, OL is far and away the biggest worry at camp right now. An already thin line now with injuries isn't a good thing. [Reply]

News today via the Post, they're beat up right now on the OL. It's great to feed off twitter updates and blurbs from the franchise, but the OL is the key here, as you point out. Buckle up! [Reply]
2. Maybe it’s just the Broncos’ pass rushers, but projected starting right tackle Donald Stephenson had a rough day Friday. During team drills, outside linebackers Von Miller and Shaquil Barrett had their way with him, using power and speed moves to get to the quarterback.
Stephenson hasn’t been a full-time starter in his career, mostly because of injuries, but he hasn’t had the best camp. The Broncos need him to produce. Michael Schofield appears to be the first reserve off the bench.
"Swoosh"...what's that sound? It's Elway swinging and missing badly...what sweetens this story is the money he wasted on Donald prevented them from acquiring Kaepernick...not that he is any off-season prize but it inadvertently stuck him with Sanchez for 2016. [Reply]
Bennie Fowler has emerged as the "frontrunner" for the Broncos' No. 3 receiver job.
In related news, Cody Latimer continues to shape up as a bust. Among Denver's sub-package wideouts, Fowler has reportedly been the most "consistent" early in camp. As the Broncos use far more two-tight end than three-receiver sets, Fowlers fantasy impact will be negligible even if he wins the No. 3 job. [Reply]
We'll see how Stephenson does in the preseason games. One thing for sure, Miller looks like he's unstoppable and the Broncos do have some insane talent along the defensive line. [Reply]
