to play the entire second half of the game. here's what he wants to see -- pace of the offense. of all the times he's raised his voice at players during camp, he's most often focused on this issue. he wants his quarterbacks to keep the offense moving and get in and out of the huddle smoothly and make sure everyone is at the right place at the line of scrimmage and avoid pre-snap penalties like false starts and delay of games. command of the offense. they need to finish with touchdowns instead sof field goals and most importantly, take care of the ball and avoid turnovers. here's a couple things to keep in mind. booker and hillman may be listed as code number two backs but that's not how they have lined up at practice. booker is the clear number two

awake at night wondering who the broncos punter will be, i think it's one of the most heated battles at camp. they want a punter who can pend opposing offenses deep in their territory. so it really does matter. britt? >> coach has done something interesting here. he's talking about the quarterbacks and outlined his style he wants for them but do you think any one of them style up? >> that's why the wait has been so long because what the coach has said many times is he wants one of the quarterbacks to "step up to take charge" and show that swagger that they can really lead a team. he is waiting to see who is bringing that out during the games. >> of course we don't know, don't look for veterans on the field. >> it's primarily rookies. they said anderson may take five
