Prisco CBS Sports: Monday Musings: Broncos find their QB, trouble brewing in Buffalo, more NFL notes
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/monday-musings-broncos-find-their-qb-trouble-brewing-in-buffalo-more-nfl-notes/

PFF: PRESEASON WEEK 2: ANALYSIS AND KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM EVERY GAME
"For the Giants, the score line does tell the story of their offense, with struggles on the offensive line from last season’s first-round draft pick, offensive tackle Ereck Flowers, who allowed a hit and a hurry on 16 pass-blocking snaps. Meanwhile, the Giants’ depth at quarterback continues to look shaky, with Logan Thomas throwing two interceptions on four passes, and Ryan Nassib struggling once again. Although he wasn’t as poor as he was a week ago, Nassib still struggled, and had a quarterback rating on 0.0 on his 21 dropbacks when under pressure, helping him hold onto the title of lowest graded quarterback so far this preseason.
Defensively, though, they’ll be happy to have seen another strong performance from defensive end Olivier Vernon after his signing him to a huge deal early in free agency. For the second week in a row he graded well, this time notching a sack and a hurry on 20 pass-rushing attempts. In the defensive backfield, we saw an impressive outing from second-year safety Landon Collins. Collins graded negatively a year ago, but has graded positively in both preseason games this year so far. Against the Bills he graded positively both against the run and in coverage, and had three tackles resulting in a defensive stop."
