1
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Today marked day six of training camp practice here at

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: the UC held Training Center. What's up, Broncos Country, Thanks

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: for tuning in for another edition of Broncos Now. I'm

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: your host Sidney Jones. And it was a tough day

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: of practice out there for the Broncos, losing two guys

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: to injuries. Wide receiver Tim Patrick and running back to

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Maria Crockett both left practice early today with knee injuries.

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Well hear reactions from head coach Nathaniel Hackett, several players

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: and more coming up on today's episode. Unfortunately, both wide

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: receiver Tim Patrick and running back to Maria Crockett will

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: miss the season due to the injuries they suffered in

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: practice today. To Mario announced on his own social media

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: that he tore his a c l after a special

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: teams period at practice, and Tim got carted off the

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: field during the second team period of practice. Tim's injury

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: looked pretty scary. He went up, caught a nice deep pass,

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: but then came down on it wrong and immediately grabbed

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: his leg first and foremost. Both those guys have been

19
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: working so hard, you know, and you know a guy

20
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: like him who's such an amazing leader, um that he's

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: done everything, he guessed, you know, I mean it breaks

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: your heart. You can tell just how well respected Tim

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: is on this team and how much this team truly

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: cares for each other. Following Tim's injury, the entire team

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: huddled around him as they waited for the card to

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: come out onto the field, and several players, including Kareem

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: Jackson and Courtland Sutton, reacted to the news. After practice,

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: coaches usually flipping around and keep going. I think, um,

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I been going down. I think that's the longest I've

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: ever seen you know, practice, No be hell, you know,

31
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: just for guys, you can kind of show, you know,

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: all that support. You know, I mean Tim is is

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: a big part of his team, big part of our offense. Um,

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean I to have him all the time, you know,

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: he's the hardest soul of that at that that that

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: receiving me. It is, I free tough. As much that

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: we can as much support as we can, you know,

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: hope for the best. I think our team as a whole,

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: I think, uh, we we've all become really tight and

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: and everyone cares so much about each other. But you know, Tim,

41
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Tim is such a you know, impactful, you know person

42
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: for this team. A leader, a vet. Uh, you know,

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: he's he's the vet that you know you want to

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: motor you got your young guys after you know, the

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: guy does, like I said, everything that he needs to

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: do to make sure he's prepared for the practice, prepared

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: for games. Um, one of the meetings. He's that he's

48
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: the guy who does the things that you want your

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: young guys to mote themselves out there. You know, Um,

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: like I said, like you said, it speaks volumes to

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: you know the fact that everyone wants to go over

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: there and make sure he was okay. Guys over there,

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: praying for my guys over there, you know, tell him

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: to keep his head up and be positive until you know, um,

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: you know, just continue to you know, hope, hope for

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: the best in that situation. Yesterday we heard about the

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: mental health struggles that kJ Hamler dealt with following his

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: a c L tears. So it's no surprise that moments

59
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: after Tim's injury, kJ walked off the field and into

60
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: the locker room to pray with him. Sim probably one

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: of the reasons him and probably one of the reasons

62
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: I got through what I got through, you know, um,

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: just having him you know, by my side and just

64
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, have them encouraging me and always you know,

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: saying stuff to me and just give me whereris of wisdom,

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: you know, so you know, just to see him go down,

67
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, is it's unexplainable, you know. I just I

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: caught a flashback as soon as he failed, so it

69
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: was just you know, I don't know what it is still,

70
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: but you know, we're praying for the best, hoping both

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: Tim and to Mario have a speedy recovery. And another

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: news surrounding the team, it was announced Tuesday morning that

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: seven time Formula one world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton's joined

74
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: the Walter Penner Family ownership group. Here's a look out

75
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: of statement released by the team from Rob Walton. It reads,

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: We're delighted to welcome seven time Formulae and world champion

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Sir Lewis Hamilton's to our ownership group. He's a champion

78
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: competitor who knows what it takes to lead a winning

79
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: team and a fierce advocate for global equality, including his

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: own sport. With over one race wins, Lewis is considered

81
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: the most successful F one driver of all time. His

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: resilient spirit and standard of excellence will be an asset

83
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: to the ownership group in the Broncos organization. And now

84
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: take a listen to Coach Hackett's reaction to this news.

85
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. I mean they you know, I heard

86
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: from Patrick and when he told me, I mean I

87
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: was shocked. I mean that's a legend. I mean, anytime

88
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: you can have a winner of that caliber is is something.

89
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: It's an honor just to be part of an organization

90
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: that that he is. So, I mean, it's a great

91
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: group that they put together. It really is. I can't

92
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: wait to, you know, get to know everybody and talk

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: with them, maybe after the season a little more because

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: we've got we've got a lot going on. But um,

95
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about it. I think it's just great

96
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: to have, you know, the energy we've got Russell, you know,

97
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: the group, the team, how they're going. And then also

98
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: you've got the supporting cast around at the brings so

99
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: much knowledge and uh and winning. It's it's great. Now

100
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: it's time to welcome Broncos the lead writer Eric de

101
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: Lala onto the show. Eric, a really tough day out

102
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: there at practice. Obviously, like I mentioned earlier in the show,

103
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: lost two guys to injuries. I went into a little

104
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: bit of detail, but what happened? What did you see? Yeah,

105
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: I mean Crockett. It was hard to see what happened

106
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: because it was kind of the other side of the field,

107
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: but it was a special teams drill. Um. We didn't

108
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: see much of what happened to it. But before you

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: know it kind of there's trainers attending to him. Um

110
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: spent a couple of minutes down on the ground. Eventually

111
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: is able to walk off the field kind of under

112
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: his own power. That one he almost thought maybe the

113
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: Broncos were going to escape because he was limping a

114
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: little bit, but it wasn't terrible. Of course, he puts

115
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: out that he's torn as a c l And then

116
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: later in practice Sydney Tim Patrick goes up for a

117
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: kind of a back shoulder throw, makes a great grab

118
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: over a saying bass, he comes down, lands fine. There

119
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: was nothing kind of wrong with how he landed. He

120
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: then took off and started running and when he planted

121
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: the first time, his leg just kind of gave out

122
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: and he went to the ground really quickly, and it

123
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: was just really clear right away that this was not

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: going to be good. I feel like it's so tough

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: for you know, these players who Tim and De Marier

126
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: are their best friends, their teammates. It's so hard for

127
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: these players to get back into the groove of practice

128
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and to go back out there. How did you see

129
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: kind of the tempo maybe shift after that and for

130
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: the rest of practice. Really Yeah, that's a really good point.

131
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Things changed quickly. Um. There was like the sense of

132
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: energy going on with practice, and when Tim got hurt

133
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: in particular, there was just kind of like this Paul

134
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: that was cast over practice. You could feel the energy

135
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: just get zapped right out of it. Um. I think

136
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: it spoke to Russell Wilson's leadership ability that the Broncos

137
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: were able to kind of get things going a little bit. Um. Obviously,

138
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: the first team offense did not have success later in

139
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: practice with a move the ball drill um, and I

140
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: wonder if that's partially to do with Tim's injury and

141
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: having to put a couple of different guys in there.

142
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: But um, just for them to be able to kind

143
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: of return to practice and get some more reps, that

144
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: speaks to uh to Russell's leadership, Nathaniel Hackett's leadership, and

145
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: that's just part of this game, Kareem Jackson said a

146
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: lot of the times you just flip the field and

147
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: you go right again. You just keep taking reps and

148
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: that this actually was one of the longer times they

149
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: spent um for an injury. But yeah, there was a

150
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: noticeably different tone after that injury, but said, I think

151
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: one of the things about the NFL is that the

152
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: next day that should be gone, and so I'll be

153
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: watching for that tomorrow. Is that externally people talk about

154
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: injuries and how they impact this team inside the building.

155
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: A lot of the times you have to move on,

156
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: you have to move forward. Bronco's need to do that tomorrow.

157
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: That'll be something to watch for. Yeah, And I felt

158
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: like that mental lot coming from Kareem, who has this

159
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: is his thirteenth training camp, and he said that's the

160
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: longest pause or stop that he's ever seen at practice

161
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: for a guy. And I think that goes to show

162
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: just how well respected Tim is on this team too.

163
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: You know, it was announced later after practice that Tim

164
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: will miss this upcoming season, So Eric, who do you

165
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: think will fill his spot? I know there's a lot

166
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: of receivers kind of looking um to get one of

167
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: those final spots on the team. Yeah. I mean it's

168
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: interesting because normally a team will keep five or six receivers.

169
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: I think we might have talked about this before, but

170
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: you now look at Courtland, Jerry Judy, ke J Hamler

171
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: is kind of those top three locks, and then there's

172
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: just kind of a couple of spots up for graps.

173
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I think it's very likely now that Montrel Washington takes

174
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: one of those spots. That Ricky had a great day

175
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: to day, two touchdowns, a long catch I think from

176
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: Brett Rippon midway through practice. He's been much better than

177
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: I think anybody thought he would be. On offense, you

178
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: kind of thought this guy is gonna be a punt returner.

179
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a kick returner, but he's not going

180
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: to do anything on offense. You know, and I don't

181
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: mean to to diss anybody, but you know, you kind

182
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: of think of what Deonte Spencer's role was last year.

183
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I expected. Montreal Washington has shown

184
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: he might be up for more than that. So he's

185
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: a guy to keep an eye on. That would get

186
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: them to four, of course, and then you think, Okay,

187
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys that could possibly compete for

188
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: that fifth spot, and I do think at this point

189
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: maybe it makes sense to just keep five given kind

190
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: of all those guys are probably about the same talent wise. Um.

191
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: But Tyree Cleveland's a guy to keep an eye on

192
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: just because of his special teams contribution. Kendall Hinton obviously

193
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: is a fan favorite. He took a step forward last year,

194
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: has some regular season experience. Travis Fulgum lead the Eagles

195
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: and receiving in Those are three guys kind of on

196
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: the bubble that could be competing for two or three spots. Um.

197
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: The one question I have, Sydney is that Tim Patrick,

198
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: he's a big guy six ft four. UM bodies uh

199
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: corners out, you know, able to box those guys out

200
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Nobody other than Courtland Sutton and

201
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: Seth Williams is taller than six ft two. Now that

202
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Tim's hurt, so I wonder does George Peyton look either

203
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire through a trade of free agent signing,

204
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: does he look for someone with a little bit of

205
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: a bigger body, because you like to have those two

206
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: big receivers on the outside in Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick,

207
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: and then have Jerry Uti and kJ Hamler are available

208
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: to kind of be the speed guys in the slot.

209
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: That's kind of my question if if that's the way

210
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: they want to go and have a bigger body receiver,

211
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: they might have to look outside the building. That's a

212
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: really great point in one that I didn't think about.

213
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: So we'll all have to be on the lookout for that,

214
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: you know. Eric. After practice, Hackett said that the offense

215
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 1: had a better focus today than they did yesterday. Like

216
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: we talked about on the show, what We're I know

217
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: you talked about this a little bit, but what were

218
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: kind of your observations today from you know that point

219
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: in that regard. Yeah, I think the offensive their focus

220
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: was better. There were no well not as many pre

221
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: snap penalties. Um. I thought the plays looked a little

222
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: bit crisper. Um. There's still a lot to work on

223
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: for this offense, which I think we expected. Um. We've

224
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: heard from Nathaniel Hackett that this is going to take

225
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,359
Speaker 1: some time. You're gonna have to kind of learn stuff implemented.

226
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: There might be some growing pains. We've seen that with

227
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: offenses when you bring a new quarterback in, whether it's

228
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Tampa or Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles.

229
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: So not not entirely surprised, but um, the Broncos, they

230
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: think are It's still early enough in camp that I'm

231
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: not worried, but it's something to watch over the next

232
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: two three weeks is do we get to this point

233
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: where things click for the Broncos offense because right now,

234
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line I think is probably losing that battle

235
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: against the defensive line most times. I mean, Draymond Jones

236
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: has been playing very well. Um. And then the other

237
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: thing is that those deep passes that we kind of

238
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: expect from Russell Wilson in this offense, those have been

239
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: hard to complete against his secondary um. And then situationally,

240
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: you know that Bronco's offense has been good in the

241
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: red zone, but they did kind of a two minute

242
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: move the ball drill that I mentioned before. In two opportunities,

243
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: the Broncos offense was not able to move the ball

244
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: and score points. And so that's a situation where you expect,

245
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: this is what Russell Wilson is here for, to bring

246
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: you back from behind, pull off these comebacks. On Tuesday,

247
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: I think it's Tuesday, they just started blending together that

248
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: didn't happen for the Bronco's offense, So they've got to

249
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: figure that out. I'm not worried at this point, but

250
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: I just think at some point over the next week

251
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: or two, you want to see things kind of click

252
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: for this offense. You know, you mentioned the secondary, So

253
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: obviously we got to talk about Pastor Tan. I feel

254
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: like there isn't a day that goes by that we

255
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: don't talk about him on the show just because he

256
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: is absolutely dominating Camp this year, as you know many

257
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: of us expected him to. But even Courtland Sutton said

258
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: today following Camp that being able to go up against

259
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: Pat every day is making him a better receiver and

260
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: he just loves watching him play. What is it about Pat?

261
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: Then maybe our fans don't see on a daily basis

262
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: that really makes him so good? Yeah, I mean there's

263
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: so much. I mean, he's got the size, he's got

264
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: the speed, he's got the athleticism, he's got the kind

265
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: of the smarts that you need, the understanding of the system.

266
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: All that is really important why he's so good. But

267
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: part of it, I think is just that's he's cool.

268
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that from like the you know,

269
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: he's really he's a cool dude. He's a cool dude.

270
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: That he's a cool dude, but he um the moment

271
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: doesn't seem too big for him. And when he came

272
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: out of the draft, one of the scouting reports said,

273
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: when the ball is in the air, even if he's beaten,

274
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: Certain does not panic. And I think that's kind of

275
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: the best way to describe Pets. Certain is Cortland Sutton

276
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: might have his hands on the ball, Cortland Sutton might

277
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: have a step on him, you know, Jerry Judy might

278
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: have positioning. Certain does not panic, and I think that

279
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: that allows him to one make great plays on the

280
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: ball and get these pass breakups. But then also if

281
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: he does allow a completion, it doesn't mean it's going

282
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: to carry over to the next snap. And you see

283
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: that sometimes with cornerbacks, where if they're having a bad game,

284
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: one play can kind of spiral or one series can

285
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: spiral into the rest of the game. I don't think

286
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: we're going to see that from Pets or Tan, just

287
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: because I mean, think back to the Eagles game last year.

288
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: He gives up that really long touchdown where he's playing

289
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: essentially perfect coverage against Svanta Smith, still gives up a touchdown,

290
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: but then has a really good game for the rest

291
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: of the game. And so it's just that ability to

292
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: be cool not panic that I think makes pets certain

293
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: as good as he is and collect exactly well. Eric

294
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: figures crossed no more injuries tomorrow or the rest of camp. Day.

295
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: It was a brutal day. I appreciate your time as always,

296
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: Eric and your insight on the team. You got it

297
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: in you see tomorrow. And following today's practice, we caught

298
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: up with defensive end Draymond Jones and running back Melvin

299
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: Gordon as we're walking off the field into the locker

300
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: room to discuss today's practice and being in full pads

301
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: for the first time this camp. The physicality has been

302
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: real the entire time we are expressing an issue. We're

303
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: just I think we're so competitive. It just feels like

304
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: we're always seven or in that game mold. So whether

305
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: we're in shows or just passing no pants, it kind

306
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: of feel the same football display. So it's good to

307
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: kind of give back. I feel a little sluggist myself. Um,
