Connor Barth is well aware of his weaknesses.

In six NFL seasons, Barth has kicked off 170 times. And of those 170 kickoffs, only 11 went into the end zone for a touchback.

Knowing that could be the the difference between beginning this season as the Broncos kicker or getting cut and looking for a job, Barth told ESPN's Jeff Legwold he spent all offseason working with kicking coach Dan Orner, trying to improve his distance.

"It's showing," Barth said. "We kicked off at the 30 today, and I hit one out of the back from the 30, and the rest off of the 35. That's what I'm trying to show. That's something that's kind of been a negative in my corner, so I'm trying to show people that it's more of a technique thing and really just working on it like I have in my field goals."

There is little doubt who the best option is at placekicker for the Broncos.

Barth came to Denver late last year and made his first appearance in a Week 13 game against the Chiefs. He went 5-for-5 that day and finished the season going 15-for-16 with a long of 50 yards. His competition during training camp is Brandon McManus, who went 9-for-13 before the Broncos brought in Barth as a replacement.

However, Denver signed McManus again two weeks after letting him go because Barth handled eight kickoffs without a single touchback in that first game against the Chiefs.

But Denver isn't going to carry two kickers and a punter again this season. Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis reiterated that Tuesday and was asked specifically about Barth.

"He's working at it," DeCamillis said, referring to Barth and his kickoffs. "He's going to have to."

DeCamillis said the competition between Barth and McManus has been good so far, and in terms of field goals, he guessed that they're about one miss apart. Tuesday, Barth converted on all four of his attempts while McManus went 3-for-4.

Considering Britton Colquitt's recent pay cut, his job at punter is likely safe, but he doesn't kick off. That means it will be up to the winner of the battle at kicker to take on those duties. If Barth can prove capable, the Broncos will be in good shape.
