Hansen Hype: Must-Read AFC West Links, August 2 Edition

Training camp news seems to be generated faster than it can be read by a single human. There's a lot to cover and you want a good overview of what is going on within the AFC West.

Sure, you probably consume every morsel of content generated about your favorite team, but you probably don't care about the undrafted fourth-string rookie quarterback of the other teams in the division. Maybe you do, but then you would have downloaded TeamStream and added the AFC West teams to your favorites, right? 

It's hard to keep track of the most important stuff going on, and that's where Hansen Hype comes in. The meaty links below have been hand selected for quality, freshness and raised without the use of bovine growth hormones (I hope).

Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post writes that bringing in Peyton Manning was all about scoring points—400 points.

Jon Baldwin is limiting Dwayne Bowe's importance, according to Kent Babb. Bowe might want to consider reporting to training camp. 

Oakland

Aaron Curry is on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, but he's doing his part to help the team as a player-coach, according to Paul Gutierrez of Comcast Sports Net Bay Area.

The always colorful Tommy Kelly had some interesting things to say about the new regime in Oakland, the offensive line and the rookie defensive lineman. Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle has the entire interview, and it's well worth the read.

According to Gehlken, Norv Turner isn't sure about Vincent Brown's role in the offense, but he will use training camp, joint practices with the Cowboys and the preseason to determine the receiver's role.
