Lock to play 'a lot' in next Broncos preseason game

The Denver Broncos plan to get a good look at rookie quarterback Drew Lock in their next preseason game.

Following a lackluster debut in the Hall of Fame Game last Thursday - after which head coach Vic Fangio admitted he was "hoping for more" from the second-round pick - Lock will feature prominently in Thursday's contest on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.

"Joe (Flacco)'s going to start (and) play some. We're going to bring in Kevin (Hogan). He'll play some. Drew will get a good bit of the rest of it, and Brett (Rypien) may or may not play in the game," Fangio said Tuesday, according to Aric DiLalla of DenverBroncos.com.

Fangio said Flacco, Hogan, and Lock will play "a little, a little, and a lot," respectively.

In his debut against the Atlanta Falcons, Lock went 7-for-11 for 34 yards. Fangio said the youngster still has plenty of learning to do.

"One thing you've got to remember about him now (is) he hardly has ever been under center in his life," the coach said. "He's hardly ever had to call a play in his life - a formation and checks. Once he gets through that, I think the other stuff will come easier and quicker."
