Quick Hits – Henry’s Upside and more

Noteworthy notes today…

• Adam Schein is really excited about the potential of Travis Henry in Denver. On his training camp tour for Sirius NFL Radio, he says he’s not the only one – random players across the NFL from the burned Titans players to Seattle linebacker Lofa Tatupu (who guarantees 1600 yards minimum) are singing his praises, often without even being asked. This article will get you PUMPED.
• Brandon Stokley may be the newest Broncos receiver, but in many ways he’s the veteran of the group. Great piece, with owner Pat Bowlen mentioning Stokley’s 144-yard, 2-TD performance against Denver in the 2004 Wild Card game.
• Training Camp is over, with a record-setting attendance that beat last year by 23%. Cutler and Ramsey threw all sorts of big passes on the last day of camp. Good nugget from this article: John Lynch says after three years, he’s no longer a Buc. He’s a Bronco.
• Despite all the changes, this season’s success or failure still depends on Cutler, says Mike Spence of the Pueblo Chieftain.
• Life coach for Rod Smith? I’m not convinced Rod’s career is over yet, and neither is he.
• The Saints and Steelers have played two preseason games each. The 49ers and Broncos have yet to play until tonight. “Bad form!“, says 49ers Coach Mike Nolan.
• Vince Young was benched in his preseason sophomore debut for breaking an undisclosed team rule. Rumor is he stayed at home instead of the team hotel. Way to be a leader, Vince.
• Did you hear about the coin flip to determine the Browns’ starting QB? Apparently Charlie Frye won the toss as the Browns went on to beat the Chiefs 16-14. And by the way, both Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard looked awful.
• Jets running back Thomas Jones limped off the practice field yesterday afternoon. No word yet as to the severity of the injury, but he was able to put a little weight on it. Scary news for Jets fan as their season almost went down the toilet in an instant.
• Preseason Game tonight! Full preview is already written and will be posted later this morning as the game draws closer…

Are you ready for some football?!
