Impact Lock has some buzz after throwing for 151 yards and two touchdowns on three drives in Saturday's preseason opener against the Vikings. Then again, Teddy Bridgewater also played well -- 7-of-8 for 74 yards and a TD -- and head coach Vic Fangio has consistently called it a close competition. Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur may have dropped a hint Thursday afternoon, noting that Lock "just needs to play well and continue on the right path. We've seen the improvement. We've seen a young player get better with an offseason and with a training camp." Lock may have nudged ahead, but it seems the Broncos will stick with their original plan of having Bridgewater start the second preseason game, facing the Seahawks this weekend.
