*Note: Metro Mayhem apologizes in advance that the coverage has been Northern Virginia heavy. Frankly, that's where the expertise is right now. In time, we will stretch out the coverage first to include Prince George's County and then the private schools in the area to be followed by the D.C. public schools. The coverage is almost exclusively about former area athletes, high school teams, coaching hiring and firings and everything else in between.*
Westfield graduate Eddie Royal is getting raved reviews in Broncos camp.
The 5-foot-10, 182-pound Royal was considered small coming out of Virginia Tech, but apparently he got drafted by the right team.
Brandon Marshall, who is suspended for the first two games, is a definite starter. But Royal is competing with Keary Colbert, Darrell Jackson and Samie Parker for the other spot. Brandon Stokley will be in the slot.
“He’s been very impressive,” Denver coach Mike Shanahan said. “He’s got a burning desire to make the starting lineup.”
“I’m very impressed,” Dre’ Bly said. “He’s asking me constantly what things he needs to work on to improve his game.”
Who hasn't he impressed? Could you say fantasy sleeper?

9:30 A.M. — Since No One Else Can Decide On a QB, Why Should V-Tech?
Al Groh can't decide on a quarterback, and has even instructed his quarterbacks not to talk about it as every area media outlet widely reported yesterday. So who's next? Of course, it's the normally steady Frank Beamer who apparently can't decide between Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor.
Here's the thing. Taylor, while an uber-athlete can throw the ball down the field. He's Vince Young without the size and right arm. And then there's Sean Glennon, one of the most hated quarterbacks since pre-Jim Drunkenmiller. Glennon doesn't have the arm strength and takes too many sacks. In fact, he doesn't really any enduring qualities, but he wins.
Plus, it's putting a strain on the players. "Glennon estimates he answered "180,000" questions at last month's ACC media days." And even one of the wide receivers is publicly lobbying, ""In [EA Sports College Football 2009], they have Tyrod [Taylor] starting," Virginia Tech's senior wide receiver said. "And I like to use a running quarterback, so nine times out of 10, I play with Tyrod in. But it all depends on what I am feeling and who I am playing also."
Just three months ago, there was discussion of redshirting Taylor in favor of Glennon. Now, there's a 180? Yeah right, They're just trying to keep East Carolina on their toes. The Pirates' starting quarterback? You guessed it. It's a toss-up.
