CAMP OBJECTIVES:
Though the starting quarterback job ostensibly belongs
to Jake Plummer, how well No. 11 overall draft pick
and rookie Jay Cutler (Vanderbilt) progresses in camp
will likely determine Plummer's very near future in
Denver. It will be interesting to note how the presence
of Cutler affects team chemistry as camp begins. Staying
in the backfield, head coach Mike Shanahan needs Tatum
Bell and Ron Dayne to prove capable of handling the
rushing load following the departure of Mike Anderson
(Ravens). The receiving situation looks fluid. No.
1 receiver Rod Smith is 36 years old and in decline.
Potential No. 1 Javon Walker (Packers) is coming off
a major knee injury that sidelined him for most of
2006. Deep threat Ashley Lelie is unhappy with his
role and may hold out. The best bet to start at tight
end is Tony Scheffler, a second-round draft pick out
of Western Michigan. By the time the Broncos break
camp, the pass-catching specifics need to be more
concrete. Things appear more certain on the defensive
end of the football, though coordinator Larry Coyer
needs to find a consistent pass rusher, which the
team greatly lacked last season. Former Brown Kenard
Lang and fourth-round draft choice Elvis Dumervil
(Louisville) both have a chance to inject some life
into that area. On special teams, where the Broncos
will be without punter Todd Sauerbrun for the first
four games of 2006 due to the player's positive test
for ephedra, will need to locate a replacement for
him.
