So, how’s Broncos rookie tackle Orlando Franklin doing? Just fine, coach says

Broncos rookie right offensive tackle Orlando Franklin has started every game and offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said he has been impressed with the progress made by the 6-foot-7, 330-pounder out of the University of Miami.

“He’s gotten better,” McCoy said this week. “Similar to the two young guys, Zane (Beadles) and J.D. (Walton), last year – each week he’s gotten better. With any football player, the more experience you have, the better you’ll be.

“Early on, Orlando made some mistakes and he learned from it. He stayed positive and Dave (offensive line coach Dave Magazu) has done a great job with him, cleaned some things up.”
Franklin is learning the pro game, McCoy said.

“It’s different than college football,” McCoy explained. “No doubt about it, the speed (of pass rushers) coming off that edge, the techniques you need … he’s learned our system. There are certain things you’re going to learn from week to week. That comes with experience, but he’s done a nice job.”
