Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning likes the team’s idea of incorporating iPad playbooks this upcoming season. ‘Peyton loves it,’ video director Steve Boxer said. ‘He was one of the first guys I dropped video into an iPad for.’ Using the iPad is not mandatory this season, but 90 percent of the roster has made the switch from paper to tablet ‘It’s easier for the video guys to send it to all the different players, and it’s a great way to study for these guys,’ Manning said. ‘There’s no excuse not to have the playbook and the game film to study.’

Sometimes when a player is drafted in the first or second round they’re still a little rough around the edge. That was certainly true in Brandon Harris’ case for the Texans last season. This year, they hope he’s ready.

Former NFL WR Amani Toomer stood by his comments that Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo is a better quarterback than New York Giants QB Eli Manning, his former teammate. ‘I love Eli, and I respect the hell out of him as a person,’ Toomer said. ‘But I have to do my job, and I have to look at him beyond what the perception is because the perception doesn’t always go hand in hand with the reality.’ Statistically, Romo is better than Manning, according to Toomer. ‘I was all set – Romo’s no good, he’s a fourth-quarter choker – and then I started doing my job,’ Toomer said. ‘I started looking at the numbers. I started looking at the statistics. I started looking at the quarterback rating. And I was shocked. I was shocked at how good Tony Romo’s statistics really were. This guy is really impressive.’

He is pleased with his progress since suffering the injury. ‘It’s going great,’ Suggs said. ‘I’m in good spirits, and I like the progress that I’m making. I came out of the boot last week, so I’m just walking right now and doing muscle strength.’

Houston Texans CB Rashad Carmichael (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the first week of last year’s training camp, and he spent his entire rookie season on Injured Reserve. ‘With Roc, what I’ve seen is a guy who’s missed football,’ defensive backs coach Vance Joseph said Friday, July 6. ‘He’s missed a year of football, but you can see the physical tools. He’s got great explosion, great burst, he’s got great quickness, great feet. He’s got great ball skills, but he hasn’t played, so he’s playing a little slow right now.’
