Denver Broncos Training Camp Notes: Marshall and Williams Held Out

Wednesday's hour long morning practice session for the Denver Broncos was not extremely news worthy, but it should be noted that linebacker D.J. Williams, and wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Lucas Taylor were held out of activities due to soreness from offseason surgeries.

Taylor is not likely to make the final roster, but both Marshall and Williams are key players to the Broncos' success in 2009.

There was also some great news in regards to the quarterbacks from head coach Josh McDaniels, who thought his crop of signal callers were far ahead of the curve.

"The information flow in the quarterback room is much quicker," McDaniels said. "Their recall is certainly very high right now, and they know what to do.

"There is nothing we're saying to them in the meeting room or on the field that's foreign to them. That's comforting, but it still means they have to go out and execute when there's a defense and a different look, disguising, and (running) everything and at full speed."

This is certainly great news for Broncos fans, who were virtually split in half over the decision to trade Jay Cutler away in exchange for inferior talent at the quarterback position. 

It was rumored that McDaniels' main concern with Cutler was that he would not be able to grasp the complexity of his system while still being a tough leader of the team, and it appears that Kyle Orton, Chris Simms, and Tom Brandstater are all on the right track.

I realize that I do not speak for all Bronco fans here, but I really appreciate the fact that Josh McDaniels is dedicating the first four days of this week of camp to getting an extra look at some players (rookies) who may otherwise be on the cusp of making the team.

This way, he can effectively evaluate all talent objectively. 

More to come from practice this week, as I will be driving down to Englewood tomorrow morning and arriving in the early evening.
