OM Training Camp reporting suggestion box: Let us know! - The Orange Mane

Kaylore · 07-14-2009, 08:53 AM

In an ongoing effort to improve our reporting quality, I wanted this thread to be about what we can do to make the camp reports this year better. All suggestions are welcome and we'll pick the most requested ones (that are doable). So let her rip! Don't be shy! what would you like to see more of? What could you do without? What is something new you'd like to see? What annoys you? What arouses you?

montrose · 07-14-2009, 08:56 AM

Can we tell Fred Fleming the kid kicking 24Champ tried biting McDaniels ankles so he'll kick him out?

oubronco · 07-14-2009, 09:01 AM

I'd like to see alot of pics along with the awesome detailed reports we always get

lots of props and thanks to all that go and take the time to do it

TheReverend · 07-14-2009, 09:10 AM

If you can, can you draw quick pictures of how the defenses are lined up?

MagicHef · 07-14-2009, 09:11 AM

Nothing big, but maybe you could just sneak a GPS transmitter onto each player's jersey, then we could reconstruct all their movements and analyze the scheme and each player.

Popps · 07-14-2009, 09:12 AM

Positional focus is always great. The mainstream media doesn't do so much of that.

Details about coaching styles on both sides of the ball will also be interesting. (How much are we lining up in a 3-4 v. 4-3., etc.)

Some tweet-style play by play reporting would have been cool, even though not allowed. (Twitter.) Maybe something like that reported after the fact.

Reports on bubble guys (maybe with more focus) like Moss, Crowder, Powell, and the UDFAs from this year. Anyone standing out, etc?

The reporting is always good. I'm sure it will be again this year. Glad you're one of the guys doing it, Kaylore.

broncofan2438 · 07-14-2009, 09:13 AM

Duplicate last year. There were great updates here during camp that we wont get other places

summerdenver · 07-14-2009, 09:14 AM

It would be interesting to know if and how the current defensive position coaches differ from previous regime.

vancejohnson82 · 07-14-2009, 09:18 AM

I would love to get a report like an "In" vs. "Out" on the guys competing for roster spots....namely Moss, Crowder, etc...

I think that could lead to good discussion

Also, I want to have a "WWCD" report on each day...where you break down Orton's throws and then have a paragraph on "What Would Cutler Do"

El Guapo · 07-14-2009, 09:22 AM

How about a Twitter widget similar to the one found here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_pl607

BigPlayShay · 07-14-2009, 09:29 AM

Since both the OFF and DEF will be different systems than we are use to I do think alignment and who is playing where would be beneficial.

Also, there will be huge position battles especially at DL, RB, CB. So, positional focus would be awesome as well.

RunSilentRunDeep · 07-14-2009, 09:30 AM

Your reports are great. Don't get sidetracked with photos, twitter and other nonsense. Give us the red meat analysis!

TheReverend · 07-14-2009, 09:31 AM

Bring this guy to motivate yourselves and the team:

PRBronco · 07-14-2009, 09:42 AM

A couple things I'm curious about: Is Marcus Thomas lining up at DE at all? Where is WWIII lining up? Josh Bell or JMFW for the 4th CB? Most importantly, anything and everything you see happening at OLB!

Arkie · 07-14-2009, 09:49 AM

I'm especially interested in the running backs and front 7 on defense. The mainstream media will already have Orton under the microscope.

SoDak Bronco · 07-14-2009, 09:56 AM

#1 -Clady vs. All -- Anyone getting by him?

#2 -Who is this years Darrius Watts, Adrien Madise, aka Camp All Star

#3 -Rookie Rankings, who looks the best, who is struggling, who is coming in and making it look easy

Pseudofool · 07-14-2009, 10:19 AM

X's and O's diagrams would be awesome. But I agree with the poster who said don't get caught up in pictures and twitter. Pictures don't mean much w/o red meat analysis.

I wish I lived in Denver so I could participate....

One of the main reasons I first stuck around this place was because of the camp reports, I am very jealous and appreciative of those who provide the reports.

A few quick suggestions:
1. Can you take pics, or do the Broncos allow that? If so, does your camera do a little... er, video?
2. Since they are so important to this year's team, a part of the report called "rookie watch" might be good. There are the obvious guys we will watch like Moreno and Ayers, but guys like Rulon Davis, Pedescleaux, Chris Baker, and Lee Robinson are interesting by-lines.

Otherwise, do 'yo thang - the reports are always great.

Seriously?!?!?!

Watch it again and pay close attention towards the end when the cat puts his head back and goes all Stevie Wonder. I almost pissed myself.

worm · 07-14-2009, 10:38 AM

If you can focus on our long snapping that would be great.

Have we improved there relative to past camps

?

tsiguy96 · 07-14-2009, 10:39 AM

what is peyton hillis doing? whos getting the bulk of teh carries, and who is relieving them?

is orton even throwing in front of champ? how is his long ball? how big are the running lanes, as in is the Dline holding their ground keeping the linebackers free?

SoDak Bronco · 07-14-2009, 10:44 AM

Does Jarvis Moss weigh more then Khan??

DomCasual · 07-14-2009, 10:46 AM

You know, Peter King's "Ten things I think I think" would sure make writing a column a lot easier. It's a whole lot easier writing blurbs like that - then expounding if someone asked about them - than it is trying to write solid paragraphs.

gyldenlove · 07-14-2009, 10:50 AM

The defensive front, who gets reps, how are they doing, how much 4-3 do we play and how much 5-2?

Secondary, especially the safeties, who is getting reps in which situations.

I agree with Popps that hearing about some of the young guys we don't know much about would be good, Moss, Crowder, Thomas, Powell, Torain, JMFW, Larsen.

Who is getting reps at RB and where are they playing Hillis?

It is so hard to evaluate QBs and WRs in camp, so I would be all right with hearing less about them.

I would like to hear about the coaches, most are new, how are they doing, are they in control, are the players responding, what kind of style do they have. This would be interesting if someone who has been to camp before could maybe compare a bit between the new regime and old the one in terms of coaching and style and drills.
