ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- If you think the Denver Broncos wouldnt even consider pairing a starting quarterback who hasnt started an NFL game with a backup quarterback who hasnt started an NFL game, think again.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak hasnt decided who will be the teams starting quarterback for the regular-season opener Sept. 8 against the Carolina Panthers, nor has he decided what the depth chart at quarterback will look like overall.But Trevor Siemian, who will start Saturdays preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams, would seem to have the inside track to start the opener. And now rookie Paxton Lynch just might be battling to jump Mark Sanchez on the depth chart as well.With roster cuts looming, Kubiak was asked after Thursdays practice what impact it would have on the teams decision-making to have two quarterbacks who have not started an NFL regular-season game.Zero, Kubiak said quickly. Im looking at whats taken place the last six months: how theyve handled themselves, how theyve handled the team and how they respond to things. Thats what Im looking at.Kubiak has split practice repetitions between Siemian and Sanchez virtually down the middle through the offseason and training camp. However, Lynch has recently worked a little more with the starting offense, a smattering of plays here and there in recent practices.If Siemian performs well Saturday and keeps the starting job for the regular season, the next big question for the Broncos would be whether Lynch is ready to serve as the No. 2 quarterback. For Sanchez, who is suddenly facing the prospect of being a No. 3 quarterback with a $4.5 million salary, that could make his spot on the roster tenuous.If Sanchez is not on the roster to open the season, the Broncos do not have to send a conditional draft pick to the Philadelphia Eagles as part of the original trade that brought him to the Broncos.As of Thursday afternoon, Kubiak said he had not decided who would follow Siemian into the game against the Rams. Siemian did not throw in Tuesdays practice because of a sore right shoulder, but he threw Wednesday and was a full participant Thursday.I know whos going first, Kubiak said about the quarterback rotation. No, I havent made a decision [about the No. 2].Siemian is expected to play at least until halftime, and some of the Broncos starters will play into the third quarter. Asked whether he wanted the second quarterback into the game to play alongside some of the starters in the Broncos offense, Kubiak said:Yeah, my biggest thing is, Im going to take a look at how long Im going to play the starters, and then it has to do with what Im going to do with the other guys, Kubiak said. Well see. Im conscious of Trevor for the last two days. Is he ready to play? Is he full load and go? It sure looks that way to me. Adidas Anton Stralman Jersey .

METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro witnessed something at team headquarters on Monday that he could not recall seeing before in his three-plus NFL seasons.Every player on defense voluntarily showed up to review game video during what coaches had designated as a day off in the wake of New Orleans victory over Carolina on Sunday.It was good for everybody to kind of see their mistakes, Vaccaro said. There were just a lot of plays that (Carolina) made that were directly related with us playing the wrong technique. It had nothing to do with talent.Its just not acceptable and if we keep seeing that in the future its going to cost us some games, Vaccaro added. We have to get that fixed now.Vaccaro said he senses the Saints overall psyche improving after two straight victories, even though both triumphs came by the narrowest of margins.New Orleans needed a dramatic comeback to win by a point at San Diego on Oct. 2. The Saints then returned from a their bye to pull out a victory with a field goal in the final seconds over the Panthers, who were less rested coming off a loss the previous Monday night.Everybodys positive. Everybody understands how hard it is to win in this league, Vaccaro said.That was a good football team we played, regardless of what their record is, Vaccaro said the Panthers, who are the defending NFC champions and have dropped three of their five losses by a field goal or less.Vaccaro then added, The San Diego Charges just went and beat the Denver Broncos, the Super Bowl winner. We beat (the Chargers), so, I mean, everybody feels good.Even when they were 0-3, the Saints were already pleased by the performance of their offense, which has ranked among the best in the league since Week 1. Against Carolina, Drew Brees passed for 465 yards and four touchdowns while completing 34 passes to 10 players. The Saints finished with 523 total yards of offense while scoring 41 points.For us to be able to do something like that, its great for everyone because it opens up the offense so the defense cant key on one guy, said receiver Brandin Cooks, who had 173 yards receiving, including an 87-yard TD, against Carolina.dddddddddddd When you have success like that with everyone on the field and not just a couple people, you definitely have to say the passing game is improving.While the Saints would like such production to result in more comfortable victory margins, Cooks said during a conference call Monday that any kind of win improves the Saints confidence right now.It seems like were turning things around, Cooks said. Now we just have to come together as one team with our offense putting up a lot of points and our defense holding opposing teams to fewer points.But after the Panthers piled up 406 yards and 38 points, the Saints are now allowing 33.6 points per game, which ranks last in the NFL, and 419.4 yards per game, which ranks second-to-last.Without improvement on that side of the ball, the Saints will be hard pressed to keep winning. Their next two games are at Kansas City (3-2) this Sunday and at home against Seattle (4-1) on Oct. 30.When Cooks heard defensive players were gathering to review video on a day off, he sounded pleased by the units determination to improve, but didnt want to be too critical of the defenses play.We got each others back because there will be games where it seems like offense cant put up the point we usually do, Cooks said. Obviously, were all going to hold each other accountable to be able to work harder, to be able to fix things and figure out things. ... We cant be blind to the situation.Coach Sean Payton, meanwhile, wasnt ready to read too much into the direction of his team, which has seen four of its five games come down to the last possession.There are times in a season where you gain momentum and generally I think its a little further out than where were at right now, Payton said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Store Wholesale Jerseys China Jerseys NFL China ' ' '
