he showed some really nice pop and then ronnie hillman, who is a guy who is starting to get. a little bit and that broncos backfield and capri been said in moved ahead of him in the pecking order. the room for 45 yards and a and in the running game he had the longest pop from the line of scrimmage at the 21 yards. interesting with the place election tonight. thirty passes and 30 runs. a conventional winstone has it. the broncos will be much more of a running football team when they get into the regular season. however, so far here in the preseason they have been a passing team. thirty passes and0 tonight. kind of interesting. simeon with a slow start but a strong finish. he was very good in the second quarter and the question becomes offense of lee as we await gary kubiak taking the podium at mile high stadium. the question very simply is how much offense do have to have from this group to win a football game? tonight, they got 17 points per trevor simeon with this tops here and merriest thomas or this this is one of the interceptions on a throw to jordan norwood that really

ronnie hillman is standing by with rod mackey. >> very good drew, appreciate it. depth on that running back position. you got in busted some moves. you have to feel good about the way you played. >> yeah. just came out here and did my job. and contributed. >> let's talk about the depth. there is a tremendous amount. they only have four of you here. >> yeah, you know, when you have c.j. and buck, and capri. you have to do something to separate yourself. just had to come out and make an impression. >> last year kind of felt the same way. like i don't know what is going to happen to ronnie. then you lead the team in rushing. i guess you like it when people start saying negative things and doubting things about you. that is when you play your best football. >> i try to keep the outside noise out. and, you know, just play ball. and you know, it does actually feel a lot better. you see the guys, the reports. they come up to you and ask how good of a job you did. so you know, it is just cool to come out here and just compete. >> it is about getting opportunities. we have

he sets up to ponte poker for the screen. 17 yards, a 50 yard drive, we had a ronnie hillman siding. you to get 7 yards to the house, it for mark sanchez ? he did not see action. that does not bode well. 17-9 your final. trevor simeon started slowly. finished 10-17, one touchdown one interception. quarterback rating, 76.1. paxson lynch, 10-14. demaryius thomas led the team with 4 catches. we are waiting on gary kubiak. >> as bad as the quarterback situation ha been for the broncos, it could be worse. tony romo suffered a cracked vertebrae. >> the battle of new york. where have you gone ? ryan on the back shoulder. the giaats scored with 2:25 before the quarter. they win the game, 21-20. broncos were not the only game in town. valid christian kicked off the season on espn against arizona powerhouse. dylan mccaffrey quarterback but played receiver here. he caught the first to score. let's get to gary kubiak. >> i sat down with mark this morning and told him that i would pay paxson lynch second. if things go the way that i in there. >> i have a lot to go off of -- off on on mark. i need

rookie devontae booker listed alongside ronny hillman as cj anderson's backup leaving the cu star who most thought had a strong training camp dead last. >> it's not frustrating at all. it's how the game goes. you got cj, obviously he's our starter this year. ryan on contract and they got to draft a guy. my whole thing is i got to anyway. this spot is not going to be given to me. i got to take it in preseason. >> reporter: the game is big for bibbs for a couple reason. >> it's my hometown. i got about 60 family members coming out to that one. it's going to be a big reunion. i'm definitely going to take off and do what i got to do. >> reporter: did you buy 60 tickets? >> they bought the 60 tickets. i didn't buy all of them, no. >>> rockies rookie david dahl record tonight. dahl has at least one base hit in each of his first 15 major league baseball games and a triple yesterday. if he gets one tonight, he'll equal the team mark for longest hitting streak to begin a career that juan pierre set in 2000. >>> when it comes to best olympic sports to photograph, swimming and gymnastics don't m

camp practice, booker slid in with the first spring offense, behind cj anderson but ahead of ronnie hillman. it is early yet, the key with runningbacks is to keep them healthy through the pre-season. if they do, the plan booker, to be the 1-2 running backs this year. snathe coaches, you know, just-- >> the coaches, you know, just basically playing by their hand and, you know, continue to go out and work each day and, you know, i know they want to give me more reps and running with the 1's, so it was pretty good. >> we know about the famed 1-cut zone rushing system kubiak as uses, when booker makes the better spot, you know landing here with the 1-cut zone system. i feel good about it every time we got a run call. >> the broncos thought so highly of booker coming out of utah, they considered taking him with number 31 pick in the draft. they were able to trade up and get pakistan lynch instead. booker fell to the 4th round because of knee concerns. that knee is now repaired. if all goes well broncos, paxton lynch and devante booker will be big names around here for years to come. mike klis, 9
