Coming up on today's episode of Broncos Now, 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: we'll recap a Rookie Mini Caamp that took place this weekend, 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: your head coach Sean Payton's thoughts and more. Thennver Broncos 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: hosted nearly sixty players for this year's of. 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 2: Rookie Mini Camp. 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: Head coach Sean Payton spoke following Saturday's practice, and he 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: discussed how he approaches Rookie Mini Camp every year and 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: what do he expects from these young players, really trying. 11 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 3: To look at every one of these guys, evaluate them properly, 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 3: with an open mind and knowing that history would tell 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: us that, you know, there's players that get overlooked and 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 3: it's not a science. So I would say this yesterday 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 3: we were inside the challenge always with these practices are 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: tempo and then educating them on staying up and you know, 17 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 3: working together without pads. I would say in my sixteen years, 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 3: the practice we had yesterday and today, just relative to 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 3: the OTA tempo was was very good. So we try 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: to show them a lot of film beforehand of what 21 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 3: it looks like because some of them, you know, may 22 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 3: maybe coming from college programs that that haven't had practices 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: like this. So I've been pleased that way. Obviously a 24 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,919 Speaker 3: lot of teaching going on and and and then the PM. 25 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: You know, we're kind of really in a walkthrough mode. 26 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: Coach Bin also went on to talk about how he 27 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: balanced on field work and a film study this weekend. 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 3: It's all of it. It's it's it's it's getting getting 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: prepared and then also understanding, hey, you're you're currently behind 30 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: the group that's been here and so that you're not 31 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 3: going to make it up this weekend, but you're currently 32 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: behind that group relative to conditioning level, a lot of things. 33 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: And so it's beginning that process of the physical, the mental, 34 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 3: and then the stuff that's outside of football, you know, 35 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: getting acclimated to, you know, the way we want to 36 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: do things. And so the itinerary, you know, is always 37 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: tinkered with and each year we look at it and 38 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 3: adjust it and change it. Sometimes we change it because 39 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: rules change. But there's a balance to all of it. 40 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: The team oled twenty seven tryout players among the fifty 41 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: eight guys that participated in rookie camp this weekend, and 42 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: head coach Sean Payton detailed what do you hope to 43 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: see from them? 44 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: For me, my biggest fear is that somebody that's out 45 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: here for three days ends up somewhere else playing well. 46 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: And so trying to really trying to look at everyone, 47 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 3: not just the draft picks, but the guys that are 48 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: here for three days, and and the challenge sometimes because 49 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 3: you know, we're not in pads. If any one of us, 50 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: you know, we're just here for three days, we're going 51 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: to go pretty hard and try to make an impression. 52 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: We also heard from the twenty twenty three draft picks 53 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: this weekend. Here's what safety J'all Skinner, inside linebacker Drew Sanders, 54 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver Marvin Mims, junior cornerback Riley Moss in the 55 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: center Alex Fortheyce had to say following Saturday's practice. 56 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: He's a football player, you know what I mean. That's 57 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 4: really the best way to describe it. You know, things 58 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: I could work on, just covering those smaller slots, you know, 59 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 4: really just getting acclimates of the NFL game. But I'm 60 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 4: just a ballplayer, you know, and do everything to contribute 61 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 4: you know, do everything for us to win, you know, 62 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 4: do things like that. So I just want to, you know, 63 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 4: just because it's continued to become a better player and 64 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 4: just develop in every way. You know, there's not one 65 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 4: thing I want to concede in development. And I just 66 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 4: got here. You know, I'm not I'm not, you know, 67 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: nowhere near I was supposed to be. So just con 68 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 4: see you to develop every day, you know, just learn 69 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 4: from the when I've everyone around. So I'm pretty excited 70 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: just to get back to football. You know, I'm enjoying 71 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 4: the you know, you know, learning a new defense and 72 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 4: you know, being out there with new teammates and I'm 73 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 4: just having to blast. It's a dream come true, honestly. 74 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 5: I mean ever since I was a little kid, just 75 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 5: looking up watching on. 76 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 4: TV and just to be here. 77 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 5: It feels surreal. 78 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: But you know, it's here. 79 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 4: So just time to take care of business, you know, 80 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 4: do I. 81 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 6: Can you know, make plays, you know, that's that's the 82 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 6: biggest thing, you know, especially playing dB, you know you 83 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 6: have to be able to you know, affect you know 84 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 6: the game and you know, hopefully you know, get the 85 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 6: ball to the offense. So I think that's the biggest thing, 86 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 6: and then you know, doing whatever I need to do 87 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 6: and do it at one hundred percent. 88 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 5: Well, I think my coaches in college, you know, early on, 89 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 5: they really pushed me to play right tackle through left 90 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 5: tackle pretty much wherever I could be of service. So 91 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 5: I think that definitely helped elevate my game, the understanding 92 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 5: of the offensive line and the offense what we're trying 93 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 5: to do. So for me, that was really ended up. 94 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 5: You know, it was kind of frustrating at first because 95 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 5: it's it's hard to master all those positions, but then 96 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 5: kind of once you start to figure it out, you 97 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 5: start to appreciate it a lot more, and so I 98 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 5: appreciated my coaches doing that. Now where I'm at, just 99 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 5: kind of having a better understanding of offensive schemes and 100 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 5: stuff like that. 101 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: Now, joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio to 102 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: recap the weekend is fellow team reporter Phil Malani. Phil, 103 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: thanks for joining me today. 104 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me said, yeah, of course, it. 105 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: Was a busy weekend. Here, another busy weekend. I feel 106 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: like the past couple of weeks I've been really busy. 107 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: But with Burgie Minniicamp, there were fifty eight players that 108 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: were here. I mean that's a lot, especially the last 109 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: couple of years. 110 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, you know, it was interesting. 111 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 7: Champagne said, like his biggest thing was, you don't want 112 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 7: to have a player leave your Ricky mini camp, go 113 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 7: to another team and have success there and then he's 114 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 7: back here reading about it. 115 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, he said that was his biggest fear. Yeah, exactly. 116 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 7: So, Yeah, the Broncos getting a look at a lot 117 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 7: of different guys and just trying to find the right 118 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 7: fits here for the Broncos. 119 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: Definitely. 120 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Phil, we were both here on Saturday, saw the 121 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: viewing period of practice. Was there anyone out there that 122 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: kind of caught your eye? Anyone that stood out to you? 123 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 7: Well, I think the funniest moment, I guess, or I 124 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 7: don't know if it was funny for Ben Denucci. But 125 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 7: Champayton after practice said that during practice he was hanging 126 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 7: out with the ownership group talking to Greg Penner there 127 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 7: and he was saying, Hey, this guy Ben Denucci. He's 128 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 7: been playing pretty well. And fans probably know Danucci from 129 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 7: Hard Knocks a couple of years ago, really heavily featured 130 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 7: when they were with the Cowboys. So he was talking 131 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 7: up Danucci and right when he's doing that, he throws 132 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 7: a pick six to Drew Sanders. So that was a 133 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 7: funny moment. 134 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: I think. 135 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 7: And then he said, well, I guess he could work 136 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 7: for Walmart, you know, he can be a greeter there 137 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 7: if it doesn't work out in football. But nice to 138 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 7: know that Drew Sanders is out there making plays, you know. Yeah, 139 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 7: And I think that's a guy that a lot of 140 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 7: fans are interested in just seeing what he could be 141 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 7: like because he was a guy who was all world 142 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 7: coming out of high school, went to out Bama for 143 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 7: a couple of years, then transferred to Arkansas and a 144 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 7: lot of people thought maybe he'd go pretty early in 145 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 7: the draft, but Broncos were able to get him in 146 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 7: the third round, and so I think there's some intrigue 147 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 7: to know what's this guy gonna bring to the team 148 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 7: and is he gonna be this pressure type player and 149 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 7: what that means. 150 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: And so nice to just see him and all of 151 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: the guys really, you know. 152 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 7: Just to put a face to the voices that we 153 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 7: heard over a draft weekend and. 154 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: Just see what they look like when they went on 155 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: a jersey.

Yeah, so one to just see what they 171 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 7: look like in person out on the field, because we're 172 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 7: so used to when we watched the practice, we're so 173 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 7: used to seeing Broncos players, you know, and like established 174 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 7: NFL guys. 175 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: So then when you see the rookies come. 176 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 7: In, you're like, do they fit into what we're normally 177 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 7: seeing out there or are they not as fast? Are 178 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 7: they not as big or this or that. I didn't 179 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 7: feel like that with any of those guys, so that 180 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 7: was good, and then also the personality part of it, 181 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 7: just gonna chat with them in the locker room for 182 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 7: a little bit there, that was sort of interesting. Never 183 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 7: done that before during Rookie Minnie camp having an open 184 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 7: locker room. Champagne said, Hey, that was just to give 185 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 7: these guys a taste for what it's like in the season, 186 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 7: you know, when you go in there. Of course, media 187 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 7: gets forty five minute window there, and so they did 188 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 7: that for the open locker room period here for Ricky 189 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 7: Mini camp. 190 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: Of course. 191 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 7: Champagne said that he was given out gift card to 192 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 7: the most generic answer. 193 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 2: No, I wonder who want the guy? Yeah, I wonder 194 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: who won that. 195 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that that was an interesting little thing, 196 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 7: just to teach these guys a little something about media. 197 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. It was really the first time we 198 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: saw this coaching staff out on the field. Yeah, too practice, 199 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: so that was cool as well. 200 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, you got to see Sean out there with his 201 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 7: orange riser. Yeah, and you know, he was wearing that 202 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 7: Bronco's hoodie for the first time out on the field 203 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 7: and somebody asked him, I think it was Zack Stevens. 204 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 7: I said, hey, what you know, you feel like you're 205 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 7: settling in now, and he was like, yeah, I think 206 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 7: so now now it feels real. 207 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, great to see. 208 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: Well. 209 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: Unrelated to Recie mining camp, phil Sean Payton did say 210 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: that Javonte Williams his rehab is going really well and 211 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: he's expected to be able to play at the start 212 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: of training camp. 213 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 2: So that's great news. Really. 214 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 7: That was probably the biggest music came out of the weekend, right, 215 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 7: is just the what's going on with Javonta, what's going 216 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 7: on with that running back room? Because the Broncos, I 217 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 7: think a lot of people thought maybe they'd be adding 218 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 7: to that room. Maybe they would have tried to bring 219 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 7: back Latavius Murray, you know, just the people thought that 220 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 7: there was gonna be more action this offseason and we're 221 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 7: at the running back position. But the Broncos obviously feel 222 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 7: like they didn't need to because Javonte's rehabbened well, so 223 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 7: they brought in some m JP Ryan of course, but 224 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 7: then I just thought maybe there'd be more than that, 225 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 7: and Sean this weekend was like, hey, we expect Javonte 226 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 7: Williams to be ready for the start of training camp. 227 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 7: If you're not ready for the start of training camp, 228 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 7: you have to go on pup and that's a whole 229 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 7: long process for getting back out onto the field. If 230 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 7: there's a way for Javonte to avoid that get back 231 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 7: out there, that would be really a positive sign for 232 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 7: the Broncos because last year he was supposed to be 233 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 7: this breakout player. This second year jump that he was 234 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 7: supposed to make. The offense was supposed to be, you know, 235 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 7: centered around a lot of what Javonte could do, and 236 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 7: then for him to just go down so early in 237 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 7: the season, it was so disappointing. And you know, we've 238 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 7: seen guys in the past come back quickly from a 239 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 7: acl like Adrian Pearson did that I think of like 240 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 7: eight months, So I think this would be a little 241 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 7: more than nine months for Javonte, which would be so 242 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 7: pretty quick quick. Yeah, but if he's able to do that, 243 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 7: that would be a big thing for this Broncos team. 244 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 7: Just once again, I feel like they're trying to run 245 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 7: the football here. I mean, they got some big dudes 246 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 7: up front. They want to SMA play a little smash 247 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 7: mouth football. So obviously, if Javonte is healthy, that's a 248 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 7: big difference for this offense. 249 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, great news there for sure. Chris Payton also mentioned 250 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: a potential joint practice with the Rams that was they 251 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: felt like kind of the big tidbit outside of Javonte 252 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Williams news there. You know, nothing really official yet, but 253 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: he said he's been in talks to Sean McVay, and 254 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: of course that's a home game, so that joint practice 255 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: would be here, so that's exciting. 256 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, he was asked about the schedule and you know, 257 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 7: you mentioned some things there, but yeah, he mentioned that 258 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 7: in the preseason they were going to play the Rams 259 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 7: and then they're working on doing a joint practice, and 260 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 7: you know, I think that that just is especially if 261 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 7: it's the last week of the season, of the preseason, 262 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 7: it kind of just is a change of scenery. You know, 263 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 7: like just in terms of the eyes you're lining up against. 264 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 7: You know, you're sick of playing against your teammates and practice, 265 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 7: so yeah, just seeing a different color uniform out there, 266 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 7: it makes a big difference. So I think that especially 267 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 7: if you're playing against a team like the Rams, you 268 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 7: know that they're well coached with Sean McVay. You know, 269 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 7: there's not going to be any funny business you hope 270 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 7: out there, and you can get some really good works. 271 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 7: So yeah, interesting to hear that from him. He also 272 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 7: mentioned that like after a game against Buffalo on the 273 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 7: road Monday night game, instead of leaving right away, which 274 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 7: is how the Rockets have done it forever. Yeah, he said, Hey, 275 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 7: I think that it's more beneficial to spend the night 276 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 7: there where you're back at like three am exactly exactly. 277 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 7: So yeah, interesting. All these coaches like to do things 278 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 7: a little bit differently, So that was our first time 279 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 7: hearing those types of things from Sean both. 280 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll hear from some other guys here soon as 281 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: I know. Coach Payton said, they're in phase two of 282 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: the off season program and that's going to ramp up 283 00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: here within the next week or so. 284 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. 285 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 7: Once a rookies get here, it really feels like the 286 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 7: offseason gets going and then they'll be integrated with the 287 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 7: vets that have been around for a while and then, yeah, 288 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 7: like you mentioned, hopefully we'll get a chance to hear 289 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 7: from some guys who've been around here. We haven't heard 290 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 7: from Russell, Wilson said since Sean Payton's been hired, so 291 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 7: just to get a little bit of insight from him 292 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 7: on what's been going on talk to guys about learning 293 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 7: this offense. You know, I think that hopefully we'll get 294 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 7: to know a little bit more about this Broncos team 295 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 7: once we hear from these guys, and I know they're 296 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 7: not building up hype or talking about expectations and that 297 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 7: type of thing, but just to hear like how the 298 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 7: tone in the building is a little bit different now 299 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 7: with Sean Payton leading the way. That's going to be 300 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 7: really insightful. And we'll know more about this Broncos team 301 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 7: here over the next couple of weeks. But yeah, it's 302 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 7: crazy how fast offseason program gets moving here. 303 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: It really is. 304 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 7: Feels like the guys just got back. Yeah, but in reality, 305 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 7: you know, there's like a month left here and then 306 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 7: uh training camp. There'll be a little break and then 307 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 7: training camp will be here. So yeah, it flies by, 308 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 7: it does, Yeah, it really does. 309 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: Well.
