4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: the team had a lighter practice today while focusing on

00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: some more red zone work, Plus head coach Sean Payton

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Injury update all on more. Coming up.

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Today was the eighth training camp practice here at the

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Centuri Health Training Center, and today the team had a

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: lighter practice and now that the team's put in over

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: a week of work, head coach Sean Payon evaluated Russell

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: Wilson's performance so far this camp.

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: Think he's doing well. I like what I've seen. I

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: said it yesterday. I think there's times where you're not

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: seeing like a clean picture or something, you know, and

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: he's scrambling in a game type mode though, where we're

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 3: running the ball more and you know, with the installations

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: that we're doing. I think he's doing well. I like

19
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: where he's at.

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Jerry Judy also chimed in on Russell's work

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: so far and what he's seen from him.

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: Russell looked great to me like he always been, you know,

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 4: you know, learned this new office, learn this new system.

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: I know, he picking up picking it up.

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 5: Really, I'm very good, you know.

26
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 4: And he just being consistent, working hard every day in

27
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: practice so he can keep doing him and had goa.

28
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Sean Payton detailed Jerry Judy's camp as well. He described

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: him as savvy and said he's picking up the scheme well.

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy discussed his expectations for this year.

31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: You know, right now, I'm just focused on just being

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: better than I was last year. You know, just each

33
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: and every day, just come out here and just keep

34
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 4: grinding and just keep keep working and just focus on

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: being a better version of myself each and every day.

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: Plus had Goat.

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: Sean Payton announced that inside linebacker Jonas Griffith tore his

38
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: ACL and we'll miss the twenty twenty three season. We'd

39
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: from fellow inside linebacker Alex Singleton about what will mean

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: to lose Jonas this year and to get his thoughts

41
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: on the depth in that room.

42
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 6: You know, John's a huge part of our team. H

43
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 6: grant our room. Yeah, I mean it's it just sucksing

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 6: a guy like that. I hate ever you know, you

45
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 6: know how hard works, everything puts out there, and then

46
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 6: to kind of go, you know, back to back with

47
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 6: injuries like that, it sucks, and you know it's a

48
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 6: you know, a big part of our team. You know.

49
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 6: Obviously the last two days have been the only days

50
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 6: that guys have you been able to step up, But

51
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 6: guys have been and guys are playing fast. Guys are

52
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 6: taking you know, bigger roles quicker, which is good for guys,

53
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 6: and you know it'll develop guys faster. And like I

54
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 6: said earlier, it's good to do an now during camp

55
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 6: and you know, let guys develop and find those roles

56
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 6: without getting forced into him during the season.

57
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: Joan Payon added to that by discussing the team's injuries

58
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: so far this camp.

59
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: I don't think it's out of the ordinary, honestly. I

60
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: mean I can't speak for the past. But you know,

61
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 3: in training camp, you get you get a few of these.

62
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: Hopefully you don't get as many as as other teams.

63
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: But no, we look closely at, you know, everything we

64
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: do leading up to the drills and practice. One was

65
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 3: really a fluke injury, and then the other one happened

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: in a special team's play where he stepped on a foot.

67
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: Now joining me. You're inside the Broncos podcast studio is

68
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: Broncos lead writer Eric Delala, Eric and other day of

69
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: practice out here. It is day eight of training camp

70
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: and teams seem to have a little bit of a

71
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: lighter practice today, but they still got a.

72
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: Lot of red zone work in no pads.

73
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, they were in shorts and had some shells on,

74
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 7: so they were still able to get some decent work

75
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 7: in Yeah, tempo, you know, still pretty decent considering it

76
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 7: was a quote unquote off type of day. You know,

77
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 7: the league requires you only have so many padded practices

78
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 7: in a row, so they go to kind of a

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 7: shell's only practice on this Thursday, And yeah, I was

80
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 7: still impressed with the tempo. We heard Sean Payton talk

81
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 7: about that that that's going to be an emphasis. He said,

82
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 7: he sounded like a broken record in terms of how

83
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 7: he wants the offense on the ball. You see these

84
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 7: guys sprinting out. They were still competing hard against each

85
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 7: other because it wasn't open to the fans. Did we

86
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 7: can't talk specific details, but it was again a red

87
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 7: zone focus in practice. They're still installing some things as

88
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 7: Sean Payton said afterwards, he's pleased where Russell Wilson is.

89
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 7: You know, it's easy to watch these practices, and I'll

90
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 7: just go on a little tangent here about Russ and

91
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 7: the offense. Easy to watch these practices where you get

92
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 7: four snaps at a time and say, okay, there's one

93
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 7: incompletion or there's two incompletions or whatever it might be,

94
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 7: and make a judgment on the offense. And you've got

95
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 7: to remember one that, as Sean Payton explained on Thursday, one,

96
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 7: when you scramble out of the pocket in a game,

97
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 7: changes things and kind of plays to Russ's ability. So

98
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 7: that's an element that's not there in practice.

99
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: Two. You're gonna run the football a lot.

100
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 7: I mean, we've heard this team talk about the run

101
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 7: game being in its DNA, and so you don't see

102
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 7: kind of how that opens up the passing game. Because

103
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 7: when you're doing a period out here at practice, the

104
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 7: defense you know they either know what's coming because of

105
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 7: the script, or you know you're not concerned necessarily the

106
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 7: same way you would be or getting worn down the

107
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 7: same way you would be in a game where boom,

108
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 7: here's three run plays in a row. Now, here's a

109
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 7: play action pass over the top. Those things work in games,

110
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 7: and I feel like maybe they don't threaten a defense

111
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 7: as much in practice. And that's an addition to what

112
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 7: we've already heard from Sean Payton that they're running some

113
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 7: things right now that are not necessarily designed to beat

114
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 7: this Denver defense, this type of front. So I say

115
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 7: all those things that just for everyone to take things

116
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 7: with a grain of salt. As you hear each day, oh,

117
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 7: the defense has won this day, or the offense has

118
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 7: won this day. Practice settings are great and good for

119
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 7: learning and good for helping this team progress, but they're

120
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 7: not an end all be all of how a game

121
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 7: should be. So a little bit of a tangent there said,

122
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 7: but I think important to remember kind of as we

123
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 7: you know, as their back end pads. On Friday, we

124
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 7: heard they're going to be in the two minute drill.

125
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 7: As you watch these sort of things, maybe that's actually

126
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 7: a little bit closer to what you can quote unquote

127
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 7: game scenario. Even though the run game still isn't necessarily

128
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 7: doesn't take the physical toll. At least you assume move

129
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 7: the ball that sort of thing, it becomes more realistic. Yeah,

130
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 7: let's see what happens in the preseason and then when

131
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 7: we get to the regular season before we make overarching

132
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 7: judgments on anything.

133
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: I appreciate the tangent, Eric, those are all really good points,

134
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: and not a lot of people think about it practice

135
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: and during training Cab.

136
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, for sure for a four play segment

137
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 7: for each group is it's hard to one game momentum.

138
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 7: But you're just you know, if this team is gonna

139
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 7: wear a potent down by running the football, you don't

140
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 7: you know, you don't see that in practice.

141
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 5: As I'm taking the same toll.

142
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: Looking at some injury news, Eric, you know we heard

143
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: earlier in the show from head coach Sean Payton. He

144
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: announced the inside linebacker Jonas Griffith will miss this season

145
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: with an ACL tear. Another unfortunate injury here, like coach said,

146
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: such a bummer with you know, him missing a lot

147
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: of last season as while dealing with an injury.

148
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, not quite the same as it is

149
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 7: with Tim Patrick because Jonas played a few games last year,

150
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 7: but certainly he's been rehabbing for a long time and

151
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 7: now to go down before the season even starts, I

152
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 7: think Sean Payton said he stepped on somebody's foot in

153
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 7: a special team's drill. I mean it's just it's an

154
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 7: unfore got his footstepped on it one way or another,

155
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 7: just an unfortunate way for this injury to happen. You

156
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 7: feel for him. Luckily, the Broncos do have some depth there. Obviously,

157
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 7: Josey Jewel and Alex Singleton are two really good football players.

158
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 7: And then Drew Sanders. You bring him in, you know,

159
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 7: at a depth signing or a rookie at a UNLV,

160
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 7: so you've got some and the justice urnied.

161
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you've got some guys there.

162
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 7: But yeah, anytime you lose a player like Jonas Griffith,

163
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 7: who even if he wasn't going to start, and he

164
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 7: has some starting experience, good special teams player, big physical

165
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 7: guy that if he needed to, could have stepped in.

166
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 7: So yeah, a tough injury for this team and certainly

167
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 7: for Jonas who's going to have to go through another

168
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 7: year rehab.

169
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: You know you mentioned Drew Sanders. I want to talk

170
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: about him a little bit more.

171
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Coach had a lot of great things to say about him,

172
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, likes how smart he is, he feels like

173
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: he's picking up the install really well, what have you

174
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: kind of seen from him over the past week.

175
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's fast, he's flying around, He's got good instincts.

176
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 7: In these open practices, you see him in the backfield

177
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 7: a lot, whether it's tackles for loss, whether it's you know,

178
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 7: just darting in there in the run game, providing good

179
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 7: coverage on tight ends. I mean, he's had some good

180
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 7: battles against a guy like Greg Dolciic. Yeah, he's he's

181
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 7: a good football player. And obviously Josie and Alex right

182
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 7: now are those guys up front. But you would expect

183
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 7: that Drew Sanders, whether on special teams or you know,

184
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 7: when he gets in there on snaps, if they're if

185
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 7: they're playing certain packages, to see how that all plays out.

186
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 7: But I would I would expect Drew Sanders to have

187
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 7: some sort of role this year as a rookie. Now

188
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 7: what does that look like and how extensive and how

189
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 7: well does he play and what sort of game changing

190
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 7: plays does he make. I'm not quite sure, but at

191
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 7: the very least, he's a really good depth player and

192
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 7: kind of you have your stars, right said, and then

193
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 7: you need a team the rest of the way, whether

194
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 7: special teams or or second string guys, the too deep

195
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 7: to be quality football players as well. And did we

196
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 7: know that Drew Sanders, he was mentioned as a potential

197
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 7: first round pick, early second round pick, falls all the

198
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 7: way to the Broncos. He wasn't happy about it. We

199
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 7: could tell that after he was drafted. So he's a

200
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 7: guy with his chip on his shoulder, good athleticism, a

201
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 7: pressure player, as Sean Payton has said a lot, I'm

202
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 7: excited to see. You know, some of these guys you

203
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 7: kind of you're like, oh, what is it going to

204
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 7: look like in the preseason, but whenever it's a rookie,

205
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 7: you just truly have no idea.

206
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: No idea, yea, what it's going to look like.

207
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 7: He's one of the guys I'm really excited to see

208
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 7: out there, to see what does he do?

209
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Right. Well, we saw you know, some kicking drills towards

210
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the end of practice today and you know, of course

211
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: head coach on Payin he talked about that during his

212
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: press conference as well.

213
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: It seems like the kicker competition is starting to heat

214
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: up a bit.

215
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, we heard from Brett Maher and Elliott

216
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 7: Fry the other day, kind of two different perspectives on

217
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 7: a kicking battle with Fry. He acknowledged that there's a

218
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 7: competition and he's just trying to catch on for the

219
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 7: first time permanently with the team and acknowledge he's watching

220
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 7: Maher and you know what he's doing during his kicks.

221
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 7: With Brett, it seems more almost like he's he's just

222
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 7: trying to make sure and I would assume the team

223
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 7: is trying to make sure that kind of the mental

224
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 7: slash technique breakdown, if you want to call it that

225
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 7: during the playoffs last year doesn't come back because he

226
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 7: had a really effective season and has proven he can

227
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 7: be a full time kicker. So they're in different places.

228
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 7: You're right, it does seem like it's heating up a

229
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 7: little bit. Sean Payton said, there's going to be some

230
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 7: drill soon where they you know, even as soon as tomorrow,

231
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 7: with a two minute drill where they put these guys

232
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 7: under some pressure, some end of game scenarios. During Thursday,

233
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 7: it was more of a field goal block sort of situation.

234
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 7: So you know, of course, you sit out there and

235
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 7: you chart the makes and the misses, but it was

236
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 7: more about the defense there. But so that's going to

237
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 7: be an important piece because this is a team that

238
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 7: you would assume if you're battling for the playoffs, there's

239
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 7: going to be games that come down to a field

240
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 7: goal here or there.

241
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 5: You've got to be able to depend on that guy.

242
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 7: And something I'll keep bringing up with the kicking competition

243
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 7: is we've got our eye on these two players right now,

244
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 7: but Shawn has made it very clear that you could

245
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 7: always go out and find somebody elsewhere, so you're not

246
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 7: just competing against It's not just Elliott Frye versus Brett Maher.

247
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 7: It's everybody who's a potential addition around the league, whether

248
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 7: that's somebody currently on a team or another free agent

249
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 7: out there.

250
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: Definitely us be not Lee's Eric.

251
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: I want to bring up a position group that we

252
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: haven't really talked about yet this camp, the Titands. I

253
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: know some viewers have been commenting on some of our

254
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: videos asking about them.

255
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: So what have you really seen from that position group?

256
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, Adam Troutman, I think has really impressed me.

257
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 7: That's the first thing that comes to mind. Has made

258
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 7: some contested catches, He's been out there a lot. He

259
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 7: obviously was a guy that RONC has picked up in

260
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 7: the draft, I think they swapped a sixth for a

261
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 7: seventh and troutman with the Saints. This is a guy

262
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 7: that they said they viewed as a third round talent

263
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 7: this year and knew they needed to add to that room,

264
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 7: so they got him. He's been I think probably he's

265
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 7: surprised me a little bit in terms of how involved

266
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 7: he's been. So that's been good to see. Greg DLSI

267
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 7: has been kind of the guy you'd expect. You've seen

268
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 7: the highlight type catches, You've seen his speed getting away

269
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 7: from guys. It hasn't necessarily been as kind of dominant

270
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 7: day in and day out as maybe you thought it

271
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 7: could be. But again, it's still early in camp, so

272
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 7: we'll see how that turns out. And he's a guy

273
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 7: that I'm sure is going to be heavily involved. We've

274
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 7: heard Sean Payton talk about the joker position and how

275
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 7: Greg fits that role, so I'm sure that's going to

276
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 7: be something to watch. Chris manherts he's big. He's a

277
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 7: guy that can dominate in the run game. We've seen

278
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 7: that out there. Albert oh has had some nice plays.

279
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 7: I mean, you've seen Tommy Hudson, You've seen guys essentially

280
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 7: across the board make plays. They're going to have some

281
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 7: tough decisions there. I don't know if you keep probably

282
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 7: three maybe four.

283
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: Guys good depth in that room.

284
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we'll have to see how that all plays out.

285
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 7: One guy that's kind of stood out to me that

286
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 7: has been you know, I don't want to go into

287
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 7: too much detail, but just in terms of his blocking

288
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 7: ability has been Nate Adkins, undrafted guy, and he man

289
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 7: he can lay the boom a little bit. He's physical

290
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 7: and so excited to see what he's able to do.

291
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 7: Tough path to the roster, obviously, but maybe a developmental

292
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 7: type guy.

293
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: On another day of camp in the books and guys

294
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: will have pads back on tomorrow.

295
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 5: That's right. It should be fun, all right.

296
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: Appreciate you coming on, Eric, you got it said.

297
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: We also heard from rookie safety at j El Skinner today.

298
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: He talked about his impressions of the secondary and how

299
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: blessed he feels to be a part of it.

300
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 8: I think we want of the you know, one of

301
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 8: the top secondaries. I think that we have some guys

302
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 8: in the room that show that they can do things

303
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 8: at the highest level. And mea Manzi is blessed to

304
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 8: be a part of the secondary because those guys have

305
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 8: been doing things at the highest level. PJ, Caden, Jay,

306
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 8: sims Kjack. You know, everybody's been doing things at the

307
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 8: high level for a long time. So I'm just blessed

308
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 8: to be in that rule for sure, because it's a

309
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 8: lot of vets in a lot of the spirits.

310
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: Well, i'll do it for today's episode of Broncos Now
