Speaker 2: this team has put in the past several months.

16
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 3: I'm pleased with our attendance. I'm pleased with our health

17
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: right now. I think the guys are working hard. And

18
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: yet you know, it's it's June, and so we've got

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: a lot of work ahead of us, and you know,

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: we'll be anxious when the time comes and training camp

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: comes to get started and uh we'll go from there.

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: Coach Payton also mentioned in his press conference that he

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: likes where this team is at and mentioned their focus

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: on strength and conditioning, and we heard from tight end

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: Greg Dulcie today and he talked about how helpful that

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: has been for him this offseason.

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 4: It's been really good. I think you guys know, emphasis

28
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 4: was on strength and conditioning this whole offseason, and the

29
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 4: coaches did a really good job of that. I think

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: the team is, you know, looking really well. Everyone's taking

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: care of their bodies really well. And yeah, with the

32
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 4: stuff that we put in, I think, you know, the

33
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: entire team has handled it very well, and the tight

34
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: end union, I'm really happy for where we're at.

35
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: We also heard from safety Kareem Jackson on Thursday for

36
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: the first time since he re signed with the team

37
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: this offseason, and he discussed why that was the best

38
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: decision for him.

39
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 5: This dB group, you know, coach Christian and obviously having

40
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 5: a relationship with coach VJ as well. So I mean

41
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 5: a lot of it was that, and like you said,

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 5: you know, just wanted to be a part of something special,

43
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: you know. I think he got a great group of

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 5: guys here that we can go through that this year.

45
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 5: And obviously with coach Sean being here as well, you know,

46
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 5: and having a ton of conversations with him before I

47
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 5: actually decided to sign back, you know, just knowing what

48
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 5: he's all about, you know, just seeing what he's done

49
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 5: throughout his career in the NFL, you know obviously, and

50
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 5: that with New Orleans and you know the games that

51
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 5: they've been able to win and you know, win in

52
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl and things like that. I know he

53
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: has you know, the vision, you know, and he's capable

54
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: of you know, directing and leading a team there, so

55
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 5: you know, he.

56
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 6: Was part of it.

57
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: Creem Jackson also talked about being around coach Payton and

58
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: what the offseason practices were, like, I think.

59
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 5: We can do some special things this year. And I think,

60
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously we've had the guys that we now

61
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 5: that we had last year, and I think the biggest

62
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 5: difference now is obviously having a different coaching staff and

63
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 5: having you know, coach Sean you know here. I mean,

64
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: it's I mean, and there's no disrespect to any of

65
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: my other coaches that I've been around, but I haven't

66
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 5: been around you know, a mind like football mind like

67
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 5: that in my career. You know, just his attention to detail,

68
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 5: you know, uh, the way he's teaching everybody, you know,

69
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: and and taking chances on the field to stop things

70
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 5: and and coaching moments. And you know, I mean the

71
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 5: younger guys may not understand it now, but you know

72
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 5: that later on in their career they appreciate that. You know,

73
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 5: there's some of those things, some of the things that

74
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: he doing now that you know I haven't you know,

75
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: been able to experience. So I mean, so with having him,

76
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 5: I think, you know, we can do some special things now.

77
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: As the players and coaches head out for their summer break,

78
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: head coach Sean Payton discussed his message to the team

79
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: as training camp is right around the corner, the science.

80
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: Of how quickly you can digress or move backwards by

81
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: even seven days away from lifting and running, and so

82
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: it's a chance for everyone to mentally get away from

83
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: the structure you know of certain times. And yet I

84
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: think I think these guys understand, man, there's been a

85
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: large investment here this offseason and it can escape us

86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: pretty quickly. The work going north is much more treacherous, difficult, challenging,

87
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: and it's very easy for that to slip. And so

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: you know, we're all counting on each other and that

89
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: was the main message.

90
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: Now, joining me here inside the Broncos Podcast studio to

91
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: wrap up Mandatory Mini Camp is Bronco's lead writer Eric Delala. Eric,

92
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: thanks for coming on the show. Final practice is over.

93
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: Can't believe the off season is already done.

94
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, schools out for summer, so it is.

95
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: He excited.

96
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 8: I am excited, but more work to do for us.

97
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 8: But the players and coaches they're done for now.

98
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: That's true. Well, Eric, overall, you know what, if you

99
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: really liked about this off season, you know, OTAs and

100
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: just the past few practices of mandatory Mini camp.

101
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that everything Sean Payton said when he

102
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 8: became head coach that this team was going to work

103
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 8: and change the culture and kind of be silent on

104
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 8: social media and all that he's lived up to, and

105
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 8: this team has lived up to that. There hasn't been

106
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 8: the hype that there was last year. There haven't been

107
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 8: these broad proclamations about what this team can accomplish or

108
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 8: super Bowl or bust or any of those sorts of things.

109
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 8: They've just worked and I think that that's what this

110
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 8: team needs to do. Trying to get back to the

111
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 8: playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl fifty.

112
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 8: I mean, when it's been that long of a playoff trout,

113
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 8: you have to change something, and the Broncos have done

114
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 8: that drastically. And I just think in terms of the

115
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 8: tone we've heard from guys during press conferences all off season,

116
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 8: in terms of the work we've seen them put in.

117
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 8: I mean this week during mandatory mini camps, and you

118
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 8: see them running down the field on kickoff harder than

119
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 8: you have in a long time here, and you see

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 8: them going full speed and there's a lot of reps

121
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 8: and they're not wasting a second, and they're going a

122
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 8: full two and a half hours for the first two

123
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 8: practices and then an hour plus on Thursday, using up all.

124
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 7: Of that mandated time.

125
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 8: There's no kind of funny business or there's no taking

126
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 8: a moment off here. They're working hard and they're using

127
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 8: every bit of time that they have. And I think

128
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 8: what's even better is that we heard from Sean Payton

129
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 8: on Thursday and he said, listen, it's really easy to

130
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 8: slip back down and slide down and lose the value

131
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 8: of all that work. So I think they've got the

132
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 8: right mentality heading into this break here.

133
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 2: There's been, you know, a big focus this off season

134
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: on strength and conditioning. We heard Greg Dolcich and Kareem

135
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: Jackson talk about that on Thursday as well.

136
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Eric, how unique do you think that is to this program?

137
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it seems like base when you talk

138
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 8: to these guys, a veteran like Kareem Jackson, other vets

139
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 8: on this team, that it's rare, right, And you know,

140
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 8: so many coaches want to get right into football, and

141
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 8: you're able to start two weeks early with a new

142
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 8: head coach to install your system, and you know, I

143
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 8: think people can get worried about how much time do

144
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 8: we have our are we ready to go? But you

145
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 8: install the offense and the defense in the off season,

146
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 8: then you install it again at the start of training camp.

147
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 8: There's plenty of time here for them to get that

148
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 8: down and it's clear watching them at practice that they're

149
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 8: getting there and so to be able to focus on

150
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 8: strength and conditioning the way they have, I think one

151
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 8: it shows you that the details matter and that Shawn's

152
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 8: not overlooking anything. It shows you that in terms of

153
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 8: preventing injuries, they're willing to be dedicated and put in

154
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 8: the time that they need. Obviously, you don't know how

155
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 8: many injuries last year were the result of not being

156
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 8: ready physically, but certainly this cannot hurt that process. So

157
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 8: I think those two things have won. Everything matters, and

158
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 8: you can't overlook the strength and conditioning, and then you know,

159
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 8: I guess the last thing would be just le Broncos

160
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 8: have gotten bigger up front on the defensive line, on

161
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 8: the offensive line, they've added tough guys. The strength element

162
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 8: of that of getting stronger and building your body up

163
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 8: to be ready for the season. It's always been explained

164
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 8: to me that you kind of you build up in

165
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 8: the off season and then in the season you're just

166
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 8: trying to maintain and so, you know, become that physical

167
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 8: team that can push people around in the fourth quarter

168
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 8: that starts at this time of year, and the Broncos

169
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 8: have dedicated a lot of time to that.

170
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: You talk about bulking up in the offseason.

171
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: I know Sean Payne, he mentioned that he has a

172
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: workout plan for the summer break for the players too.

173
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, it sounds like everybody's got an individualized workout plan,

174
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 8: which I'm sure is not, you know, uncommon in the league.

175
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 8: But to see again that commitment from Bo Lowry and

176
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 8: his staff making sure that guys stay in shape, there's

177
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 8: kind of this you know, maybe mutual understanding between players

178
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 8: that you don't want to be the guy to let.

179
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 7: The rest of the team down. You want to come

180
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 7: back in shape.

181
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: Here.

182
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 8: Hey, you've spent all this time getting in really good

183
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 8: physical condition.

184
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 7: You've worked hard during practice.

185
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 8: Let's not let that slip over the next six weeks

186
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 8: before training camp gets here.

187
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: Right, Eric, Over the past couple of days of mandatory

188
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: mini camp, has there any been any players that that

189
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: have really stood out to you?

190
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 8: You know, I would say Albert oh is a guy

191
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 8: just he's made a couple of big plays, and here

192
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 8: you talked about him, Yeah, hearing Sean Payton talk about

193
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 8: him in terms of finding that confidence. And one of

194
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 8: the things Sean Payton likes to say is that confidence

195
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 8: is just born from demonstrated ability. And so you see

196
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 8: Alberto make a couple of big catches, or you see

197
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 8: a guy like keten Stern's make a big play in practice.

198
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 8: When they see that they're able to do that, and

199
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 8: then you do it repeatedly, then you have the confidence

200
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 8: to keep doing it even more. And so certainly at

201
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 8: this time of year, you're you know, there are a

202
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 8: lot of guys that catch your eye. I mean, Javonte

203
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 8: Williams being able to participate, Tim Patrick doing what he's

204
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 8: been able to do. Eyes are always on the quarterback

205
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 8: and Russell Wilson, but you know those guys Alberto and

206
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 8: Keayten Sterens are a couple of guys that you know

207
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 8: are kind of they need to take that next step. Again,

208
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 8: Sean Payton's that everybody needs to take that next step

209
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 8: because last year wasn't good enough. But those are probably

210
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 8: a couple of guys that from what we've seen, you've

211
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 8: seen the kind of flashy plays.

212
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: Definitely. Yeah, you mentioned Javonte Williams.

213
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: So great to see him out there the past few

214
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: weeks running around at practice. I know coach gave an

215
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: update on him on Thursday, not really an update, but

216
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: he's saying he's sticking with what he said at the

217
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: beginning of the off season program that he is hopeful

218
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: he'll be ready to go by training camp.

219
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, still optimistic.

220
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 8: I don't think based on what we've seen from Javonte

221
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 8: out there that you know you'd be there's any reason

222
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 8: to dispute that. Obviously, the Broncos didn't know what they

223
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 8: were going to to get because when Sean paytnon was

224
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 8: hired here. Javonte was at that point probably just four

225
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 8: or five months removed from this injury, and still just

226
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 8: eight months removed. For him to be able to be

227
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 8: out there is unfathomable. It's not just the ecl obviously,

228
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 8: it was a serious knee injury. So for him to

229
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 8: be out there doing what he's doing, it's really special.

230
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 8: Like you said, said Sean, Payton's still optimistic he's not

231
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 8: gonna have to start training camp on pup. If the

232
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 8: Broncos have him Week one against the Raiders, I mean,

233
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 8: that's a huge boost just I think, not only in

234
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 8: terms of the physical style of play that he has

235
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 8: and his talent, but emotionally to get a guy like

236
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 8: that back will be really big.

237
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

238
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: You know, Eric, there's been a lot of talk. You know,

239
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: you mentioned the cold sure and setting the tone and

240
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: how different it's been. I mean, if you look back

241
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: at this team last season at this time last year,

242
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: you know, the team is very different, feels very different

243
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: around here.

244
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: As we look ahead to training.

245
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: Camp, there's been a lot of talk about how different

246
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: that will look. You know, what can fans really expect

247
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: this year?

248
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see. I mean Obviously, we

249
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 8: know the players are going to play in the preseason.

250
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 8: You're going to see seven on sevens, you're going to

251
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 8: see one on ones. I would imagine based on how

252
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 8: many camp looked, where you had, you know, over six

253
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 8: hours of practice here over the last three days, that

254
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 8: they are going to be physical practices. We talked to

255
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 8: Kreem Jackson. He doesn't expect kind of the you know,

256
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 8: the every third day off that we saw last year.

257
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 8: I mean, this is going to be a training camp

258
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 8: that gets these guys ready to go, and that's important.

259
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 8: I'm sure there are guys that appreciated that the day

260
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 8: off or taken a little bit easy, but I think

261
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 8: it was clear the Broncos needed to be ready to

262
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 8: go and build that toughness that we've talked about so well.

263
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 8: You know, I don't know if in training camp, if

264
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 8: some coaches, you know up in Detroit, you watch hard

265
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 8: knocks and they're going live, they're tackling to the ground.

266
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if that's going to be the case.

267
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 8: We'll have to see kind of what Sean Payton's philosophy

268
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 8: is there. But certainly I would expect a more physical,

269
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 8: more demanding training camp than we saw last year.

270
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: There's a lot to look forward to here within the

271
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: next couple of months. I know things are about to

272
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: die down now, but gosh, training camps right around the corner.

273
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true, So let's get a little break here first.

274
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: I know, well, Eric, appreciate you joining the show. It's

275
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: been fun past a couple of days of mandatory mini camp.

276
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been great.

277
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: And before we go, we heard from several position coaches

278
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: this week. Quarterbacks coach Davis Webb talked about getting to

279
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: work with Sean Payton and what his relationship with Russell

280
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: Wilson is, like.

281
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 6: We facetimed the day I got hired, so yeah, yeah,

282
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 6: so do I. So that worked out that that was

283
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 6: a mutual liking and we've hit it off. I think

284
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 6: it's easy for a quarterback quarterback to communicate sometimes, and

285
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 6: I think it's been a really good adjustment so far.

286
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: And we heard from DB's coach, Christian Parker.

287
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: Parker discussed entering his season with the Broncos and the

288
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: next steps that passer Tan can take in his career.

289
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 9: Now, I won't get into the details that me and

290
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 9: him talk about, but I think it's just really just everything,

291
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 9: just him continuing to progress in a bunch of different

292
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 9: areas that we talked about, had the same conversations last year,

293
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 9: and I think that he checked those boxes going into

294
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 9: year two and now it's just kind of taking that

295
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 9: jump to year three. Not a lot of new things

296
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 9: for him to see. He's checked off a lot of those,

297
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 9: you know, first time seeing this formation, this split, this route,

298
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 9: this situation. So now I think it's just continuing to

299
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 9: grow and graduate and getting to the offensive coordinator and

300
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 9: quarterbacks brain to anticipate plays.

301
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: Well, it'll do it for Mandatory Mini Camp.

302
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: Broncos Country, Thanks so much for tuning in every single

303
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: day this week. We'll meet you right back here on

304
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: the Broncos podcast network and YouTube next week for another episode.
