1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: What's going on Broncos Country. Welcome back to the Broncos

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: podcast network and YouTube for the latest edition of Broncos Now.

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Sidney Jones, and today marked the final

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: day of training camp. Was also the Broncos joint practice

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, So coming up on today's episode, we'll

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: hear from both Russell Wilson and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Plus we'll have analysis from today's join practice, reaction from

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: head coach Nathaniel Hackett, and more. It's always fun when

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: you get to bring a team in here in an

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: unbelievable organization. Coach McCarthy just unbelievably dear friends, someone I

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: respect and love dearly. And then you know you've got

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: a lot of other coaches that are great and just

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: just a great group. I thought, we've got a lot

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: of good work done and it was fun, fun to

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: be a part of. Like coach I had said, it

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: was a fun day here at the UC held Training

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Center with the Dallas Cowboys in town. It was a

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: fantastic atmosphere with over six thousand fans and some rate competition.

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Take a listen to what coach Hackett had to say

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: about the offenses performance today started off hot. It felt

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: like I had a bunch of good plays early and

22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: then um, kind of spoke us a little bit more

23
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: on the run game. Got some runs going because we

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: want to be able to look at this front on

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: how we're gonna run because we just don't get enough

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: of that action during the week. So, um, it seemed

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: like it was good. I wish the two minutes would

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: have been better. The red zone seemed like it went

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: really well. I thought the guys had a couple of

30
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: tugs that was really great. Um. But overall, you know, hey,

31
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: when you come out without any injury and you could

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: go against somebody else and get good work and always

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: feel great about it. Russell Wilson also reflected on the

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: day and reflected on the work the offense put in. Yeah,

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: it was a great day for us. I mean I

36
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: think that, uh, you know, all the work you put

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: in ever since me getting here, and then all the

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: work we put into collectively as a group, all the

39
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: early mornings six o'clock in the morning walked through as

40
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: together as players or seven am or just all the

41
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: late nights and days and all the communication and all

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: the work. Um, we really showed up today. I thought

43
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: it really showed up today, and I think that just

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: we were just so locked in on offense. I know

45
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: the defense had a great day to day too as well. Um,

46
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: we were all playing collectively together. We had a blast

47
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: having all the fans out here too, on both sides.

48
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, obviously the Rongos fans, but even Cowboys fans.

49
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: They were great. Just everybody was so gracious but so loud.

50
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Have we had a blast. Um, my first time actually

51
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: doing this, you know, you know, for ten years, we

52
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: never I never did this before. We obviously played in

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: games preseason, all all the games I've played in, but

54
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: we've never done this in practice. I loved it was

55
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Patsertan also met with the media

56
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: today and said it was nice to see some new

57
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: faces out there and go up against a different offense.

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: He also said the defense made a statement. Take a

59
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: listen to what that was. Come out flyers ball be physical,

60
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: U you know that goes I'm pretty sure that's what

61
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: I thought, and they insom so, you know that's how

62
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: I got a little shippy. So but this is a

63
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: part of full boring the game. With today being the

64
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: final day of training Camp Brussels summed up this year's

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: camp and how the past two weeks have been. This

66
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: has been exceptional. I think that I've always had amazing

67
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: training camps, but this one's been really special. It's been

68
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: a renewed sense of just energy just within this whole building,

69
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: not just for me, but for everyone, I think, and

70
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: that's what everybody says. You know, obviously wuldn't here the

71
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: years before, but just I think coach Hacket is a

72
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: great job of leading everyone. I think George Peyton is

73
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the game, is not

74
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: the best, and just how he's just really put this

75
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: team together him and coach hack it Um, the coaching

76
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: staff has been tremendous. I think the players once again,

77
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: I go back to the investment of the players on offense, defense,

78
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: special teams. Everybody's in this thing together and we're all

79
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: trying to do it together, and it goes all the

80
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: way to everybody you know in the building. Now joining

81
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: me here in the podcast studio is Bronco's lead writer

82
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: Eric Delala. Eric, what a way to end training camp.

83
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, what an exciting day today with the Cowboys

84
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: in the building. Yeah, no, kidding, Sydney. I think that

85
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: that was the best the Broncos have looked overall since

86
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: training camp started. And start with the offense. I think

87
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: where this unit. For a couple of weeks now people

88
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: have thought is this group where they need to be?

89
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Or they ready for the season? Have they done enough

90
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson? Are these wide receivers ready for the task?

91
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Is the running game ready to go? How's the offensive line?

92
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: Just one day, but a lot of those questions were answered,

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: and I you know, we talked yesterday Sydney about this

94
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: team needs to come out ready to go. They can't

95
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: waste this opportunity, especially on offense. They did not do that.

96
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: What do you see from Russell Wilson in company today?

97
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: What you like about their performance coming up against you know,

98
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: a pretty tough Dallas pass for us? Yeah, that's yeah,

99
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: that's right. The past rush for Dallas. I thought the

100
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: Broncos stood up pretty well. I mean, Michael Parsons is

101
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: difficult to handle, and he got Calvin Anderson a couple

102
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: of times, so that's something to work on. We're not

103
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: sure yet if Calvin Anderson is going to be the

104
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: starting right tackle, if Billy Turner comes back, he could

105
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: be that guy, so there could be some help on

106
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: the way there. UM. But overall, I was really pleased

107
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: with how Russell Wilson practiced. UM completed a lot of

108
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: passes to Courtland Sutton in particular. He seems like a

109
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: guy that's becoming the go to wide receiver. They were

110
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: good in the red zone. UM. They picked up the

111
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: blitz at one point, and he found Russell found Albert

112
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: Oh for a really nice gain at one point. I

113
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: think he's just in command of the offense. And another

114
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: thing I like Sidney was as you saw kind of

115
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: all the chippiness that was going on on the other

116
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: field that didn't happen on Russell's field, And I think

117
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: that was in part he went up and shook every

118
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: one of the Cowboys defender's hands before practice started. I

119
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: don't think he wanted his offense to kind of stoop

120
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 1: down to that sort of thing. I think he set

121
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: the tone there. They stayed above the fray, UM and

122
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: had a really successful game or successful day rather. Nathaniel

123
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Hackett said we were on fire early. Russell Wilson said,

124
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: we had a great day, and that they're further ahead

125
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: of where he expected, so pretty much all you could

126
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: ask for from the Denver offense. Co Chack had also

127
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: said that they focused more on the run game today.

128
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: You know, obviously with the Cowboys being here. Um, obviously,

129
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon he did not practice. Coach said that he

130
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: has a fun contusion, which might be a little concerning.

131
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: But let's first talk about Javonte Williams. How did you

132
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: think he did today? Yeah, Javonte was great. Um, he

133
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: ran over a guy at one point, which is what

134
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: you've come to expect from Javonte Williams at this point. Uh.

135
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line did a good job of

136
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: letting Javonte pick up a couple yards before he was

137
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: touched by the first defender. There's a couple of times

138
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: where Javonte got to the edge, and I think the

139
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: thing you like about this wide zone scheme is that

140
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: when you get outside on these stretch runs, by the

141
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: time you know the offensive lineman pick up linebacker. By

142
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: the time Javonte Williams, if he gets in space, the

143
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: person that he's gonna meet is gonna be a cornerback

144
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: or a safety. You know. I like my chances with

145
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams going up against guys from either one of

146
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: those positions most of the time, so chance for a

147
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: lot of broken tackles. Um. I think the run game

148
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: is in a good spot. It helps the Broncos to

149
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: work against a different sort of front that I think

150
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett said, that's what they're gonna see against the

151
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: forty niners, that's what they're going to see against the

152
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Raiders when they play him exactly. So some really good

153
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: work there. I'm not as concerned with the Melvin Gordon

154
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: I think, you know, for contusion, it sounds to me that's,

155
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a severe bruise obviously. Um sounds

156
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: like from some of the reports we're hearing that it's

157
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: just kind of precautionary. I don't know that we're gonna

158
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: see him Saturday, but for the most part, I think

159
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: he'll be okay. But yeah, some good work for Javante today. Okay, Well,

160
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: that's good to hear. You mentioned the defense. They were

161
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: a little chippy today. They certainly were feisty out there

162
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys offense. A couple of fights on the field.

163
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: What did you see. Give me a little recap of

164
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: the side. I mean, this is't like the best way

165
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: possibly think the Broncos are annoying to play against defense

166
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: because Bradley Chubb is good and he talks a lot.

167
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Raymond Jones is really good and he talks a lot.

168
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about some of the other defenders

169
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: over there, they do the same. Jacksoniam Jackson, I think

170
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: today he was kind of a peacemaker of all things.

171
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: He normally is a guy that you're right, it is

172
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: chatty a lot, but when they're coming off the edge

173
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: and then they're letting you know that they beat you,

174
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: and you try to challenge them in the secondary and

175
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: you can't complete a pass, that gets frustrating. I think

176
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: the heat and the altitude got to the Cowboys a

177
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: little bit. A Dallas reporter kind of brought that up

178
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: during Nathaniel Hacketts press conference, so that was interesting to hear.

179
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: And I think the Broncos defense they just have that

180
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: swagger to them. And when you have that, I think

181
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: it's and you have the talent hard to go against

182
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: something gets annoying, and I think that's what kind of

183
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: leads to the chippiness. Yeah, the Bronco secondary, they looked

184
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: really good out there today, which I wasn't surprised by

185
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's right. I think that, Um, the one

186
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: area of concern maybe is that second corner spot, because

187
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: like Legimudia filled in today for Ronald Darby, UM saying

188
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: Bassie filled in for Kawan Williams, they're kind of at

189
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: that nickel third corner position. They definitely picked on those

190
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: guys a little bit. Dak Prescott, you know, target Ceedee

191
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: Lamb who was covered by Michael Legimudia for most of

192
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: the day. I think there are only a couple of targets,

193
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: only maybe one target, a couple of snaps where Pats

194
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: certain was uncoverage against Ceedee Lamb and it was just

195
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: a ten yard comeback round. It wasn't a big deal.

196
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: Wasn't like Certain got toasted or anything. But I think

197
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: what you kind of wonder is if the Broncos end

198
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: up in this situation in season where you play a

199
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: team with a true number one wide receiver like the

200
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys have and your number two corners out, can you

201
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: afford to let Pat just stay on the side of

202
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: the field that he's on or do you have to say,

203
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: a we're going to travel you, you're gonna stay in

204
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: shadow this best receiver, take that guy away and then

205
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: kind of deal with the other consequences. I think that's

206
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: something that Broncos have to figure out because in this league,

207
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have injuries. It's not always gonna be perfect.

208
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Your best eleven aren't always going to be out there.

209
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: But they do need to kind of figure out what's

210
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: a good plan of attack when things aren't going exactly right.

211
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: And it was nice to you know, Pat Certan after

212
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: practice day he praised both Michael ja media and he's

213
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: saying Massie for stepping up today. Eric, is there anyone

214
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: that really surprised you today? You know now that the

215
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: offense is going up at different defense, going up against

216
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: a different defense, defense going up against a different offense,

217
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: So anyone that kind of stood out, Yeah, that's a

218
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: good question. Um. Offensively, I guess I was impressed by

219
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: Alberto Um, Like I mentioneding of that catch on kind

220
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: of the you know, the offensive line picked up a

221
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: blitz Russ is able to get it a way quick,

222
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: get it to Albert Obi that's safety valve. I was

223
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: impressed by that play. And then later in practice Alberto

224
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: made kind of this stabbing diving one handed catch in

225
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: the end zone for a touchdown. I think if there's

226
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: one question about Alberto at times, it's how reliable is

227
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: he as a pass catcher, just in terms of hauling

228
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: the ball in in big moments. You know, I think

229
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: back to I think it was against Baltimore. Uh Teddy

230
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: lofted a deep pass to Alberto that would have given

231
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: the Broncos a lead and he wasn't able to haul

232
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: it in. You think of a couple of times. It

233
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: was his first game as a rookie, but in New England.

234
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean, those are just some of the things you

235
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: wonder about, and I think today showed, hey, he's taken

236
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: some steps in this area. You can count on him

237
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: in some big moments. You need to see it at

238
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: a game, obviously, but I thought Alberto had a really

239
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: nice practice, a great practice to end training camp for

240
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: just two days away now from the Broncos first preseason game.

241
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: Eric will preview that on tomorrow show. But appreciate your

242
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: analysis of practice day and your insight always. Thanks Tony.

243
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: We also had a chance to catch up with a

244
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: couple of Dallas players. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott spoke to

245
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: the media falling practice and discussed what he thinks about

246
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: this Broncos defense and Cowboys defensive tackle Neville Gallimore to

247
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: talked about how much the altitude here in Denver affected him. Yeah,

248
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean obviously very active guys. Uh um yeah, I

249
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: mean knowing, knowing the team that they had last year,

250
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: obviously knowing the things that they like to do. Uh yeah,

251
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: that they can get after it. The rod I mean

252
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: obviously with job, they're missing one of the best, I think,

253
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: and Randy Gregory will be out there to help him. Um.

254
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean they lined up. It was it

255
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: was a good, great dad of practice and they got

256
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: us better. I wish somebody would have give me a

257
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: better warning for this altitude out here. I felt like

258
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't breathe the whole time. But it's all good,

259
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: Well get better. I thought I was tripping. I was

260
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: looking around. I'm like, is it just me? Like I know,

261
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: like I'm solid for you know, a few reps. But

262
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: when the two and I'm looking around and you know,

263
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: the check engine like came on stopped, I was like,

264
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, But you know, the definitely, I mean,

265
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: I guess that's why they call him all high right now,

266
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: it's time to take a look at today's injury update.

267
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: kJ Hammler, Ronald Derby, Melvin Gordon, Greg Dulcitch, Tyree Cleveland,

Speaker 1: Natani Muti, and Ben Brandon all did not practice today.

269
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Go check it. Gave an update on a couple of

270
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: those guys. Melvin Gordon has a food contusion. They're just

271
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: evaluating in being smart with him, and for both kJ

272
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Hamler and Greg Dolshitch, they just want to make sure

273
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: they're doing it the right way and being careful. And

274
