00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: team celebrated Back Together Weekend presented by Ticketmaster. Head coach

00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: linebacker Frank Clark spoke to the media for.

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: The first time. All that more coming up.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: It was a great day here at the Centuri Health

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: Training Center as a team in the NFL celebrated Back Together.

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Weekend presented by Ticketmaster, and it was a great day

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: on the field. Head coach Sean Payton.

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Said the players will be off tomorrow, but we'll hit

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: the field on Monday for their.

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: First padded practice.

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: Overall, though, head coach Sean Payton said he liked what

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: the team accomplished in their first few days of training camp, bringing.

19
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: Everyone up to speed as to what we're wanting. In

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: the same way with the coaching staff, you know, the

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: expectations of how we want to practice till look the

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 3: tempo and then you know the installation obviously is important.

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: So these guys learning in the meetings, watching the tape,

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 3: you know, trying to avoid the repeated mistakes that kind

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: of thing. But look, it's it's their first time, it's

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: our first time as the staff together, so you know,

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 3: we all like routine and eliminate and distractions and trying

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 3: to do all of that, but trying to get these

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: guys into that practice that we're looking for tempo wise

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: and organizationally.

31
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: And with the team having their first padded practice on Monday,

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Sean Paygn discussed how he'll look to evaluate the team.

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: Then, well, look, we're evaluating everything. The key is not

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: to come to the conclusions right away, but we're you know,

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: all all of these snaps and reps and stuff that

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: we're seeing, it's all going into the evaluation process. And

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: certainly it helps the player when you know he can

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: perform when he knows what he's doing. But I've seen

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: it a lot when the pads come on, where certain

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: guys it can kind of define them, sometimes in a

41
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: positive way. So we've got a lot of time here

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: and there is a sense of urgency as to what

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 3: we're doing. But you know, we're really right at the beginning.

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: Plus we heard from outside linebacker Frank Clark as he

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: spoke to the media for the first time since he's

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: been with the team, and he discussed why Denver was

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: the right fit for him.

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 4: You know, football is a game about, you know, fall

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 4: in love with the players, you know, not so much

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: the team, you know, just keeping the real you know,

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: you fall in love with the guys and you build

52
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: relationships with guys. And you know, the one thing I've

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: always did was hold onto those relationships tight. What we

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 4: was able to do in Kansas was special. Four year run,

55
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 4: two super Bowls, three titles. It was fun, you know

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. But at the end of the day,

57
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: all good things come to end, and new journey's a

58
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: part of their journey. You're nine, new star, fresh start

59
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: out here in Denver, and I'm just enjoying myself, you know.

60
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Ark also went on to talk about playing for head

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: coach Sean Payton and how he's already built an identity here.

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, you know, Coach Payton,

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 4: he does a great job. He's doing a great job

64
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 4: with us since he's came in just you know, y

65
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: instilling that type of ball you you know, for years,

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: and that's any team I don't care how good you are.

67
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: You know, I've been on successful teams. Were coming in

68
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: the summer and we don't have an identity. You have

69
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: to build an identity every year. You know, if you

70
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 4: if you're living off what you did last year. I'm

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 4: not coming in here talking to these guys about, oh man,

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: I'm this super Bowl champ, two time champ. I haven't

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: set that one time to any of these guys. I'm

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: coming in and I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: get better going into year nine like I'm going into

76
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: year one, and I'm just trying to make these guys

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: understand the importance of appreciating this opportunity. You know, we're

78
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: gonna be a with a lot of guys. You go

79
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 4: through camp, we got ninety guys on the field. You

80
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: only can play with fifty three at the end of

81
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: the day. So you got forty guys that's not gonna

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: be here, you know, forty people who gonna possibly be

83
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: on other teams, you know, hopefully, And you know, you

84
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: just enjoyed a moment, enjoyed the grind, and you know

85
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: everything else is gonna come.

86
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: And running back Somaj p Ryan was asked about how

87
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Sean Payton uses running backs in his offense, discuss the

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: type of back he is.

89
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 5: It's going to the league in general, is going to

90
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: a pass heavy league, but his offense still utilizes both

91
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 5: backs running the ball very heavily, and that takes some

92
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: of the pressure off the quarterback, you know, because you

93
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 5: didn't have to drop back to fifty sixteen times a game.

94
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 5: And if we can get that going, then it's going

95
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 5: to be a pretty dangerous offense. I'm just your normal,

96
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: hard working running back, you know, nothing flashy. I don't

97
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 5: don't do anything special, just work hard and get results.

98
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: Now, joining me here in the Broncos podcast studio is

99
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: Broncos lead writer Eric de Lali.

100
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: Eric, another great day.

101
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: Of practice out there, and it was great to see

102
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: all Broncos country out there for Back Together weekend as well.

103
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 6: Yes, it it was a fun day, but there are

104
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 6: a lot of different activations. Obviously, we we introduced, we

105
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 6: revealed the alternate snow capped helmet.

106
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 7: Oh gosh, last week, already, this.

107
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 2: Week, this week, this week. Yeah, it all boiled together

108
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago.

109
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 7: Once together, Yeah, it does.

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 6: But there was a throne for fans to sit on

111
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 6: and there was he had close a giant inflatable that

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 6: you could take pictures with and in said, I can

113
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 6: see from your arm there was some sort of uh,

114
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 6: face painting arm painting station.

115
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: We had some fun out there today.

116
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 7: I like it. Thank you good. I didn't have a

117
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 7: chance to get one, but bummer. Hopefully they'll be out there.

118
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: Again, hopefully where you know, like I said, it was

119
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: good practice. Head coach on Payton, he said, it was

120
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: a good practice out there. Feels good about the work

121
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: the team's put in overall. Just what were your takeaways

122
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: from the day.

123
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I thought that Russell Wilson started the

124
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 6: day really strong. There was a seven on seven period

125
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 6: where Russ was sharp getting the ball out quick, you know,

126
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 6: there was a one drop and then went right back

127
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 6: to Jerry Judy who caught a long pass that was.

128
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 7: Good to see.

129
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 6: And then in a team period rush through a great

130
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 6: pass to Courland Sutton along the sideline, was able to

131
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 6: get both feet and back. Beautiful catch working against pats Ertan.

132
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 6: And anytime you catch the ball on Patzertan, obviously that's

133
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 6: that's a sign that it's a pretty good throw and

134
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 6: catch there. So it was impressed with Russ and the

135
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 6: offense early. Obviously it's not gonna be perfect still, a

136
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 6: little you know, just some kings to work out here

137
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 6: and there. You always expect the defense to be a

138
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 6: little bit more ahead of the offense at this point

139
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 6: in training camp, and I think you saw that in

140
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 6: terms of some of the pressure the defensive line the

141
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 6: outside linebackers provided on this day of practice. We'll see

142
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 6: what it's like when the offensive line gets pads on,

143
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 6: because then they can fight back a little bit. Right now,

144
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 6: you know, the defensive line can swipe and they can

145
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 6: go by you, and it's hard to do much. So

146
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 6: I'll be interested to see how that competition looks. Once

147
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 6: Mike McGlinchey is back. He's going to be back Monday.

148
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 6: John Peyton let everybody know, unfortunately that he had suffered

149
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 6: to death in the family, which you know, our thoughts

150
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 6: out to him, absolutely very sad. But he will be

151
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 6: back out at practice we're expecting on Monday, so that

152
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 6: offensive line will be complete again, and when they get

153
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 6: pads on, it'll be interesting to see how they look there. Yeah,

154
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 6: and then maybe one other takeaway, and I'm not sure

155
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 6: that fans are especially dialed in on.

156
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 7: The kicking competition at this point.

157
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 6: But Sean Payton said, and we'll knock on wood here,

158
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 6: that nobody has missed so far through the first couple

159
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 6: of kicking periods during training camps, So that's a good

160
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 6: sign too. And yeah, you know the Broncos, you know,

161
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 6: there weren't a ton of highlight plays necessarily that that

162
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 6: Sutton catch there, Pat sartanat a near interception. Fan Hicks

163
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 6: did have a pick, So there were a few. But

164
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 6: I think as pads get on and we get closer

165
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: to quote unquote real football, you'll see more of that.

166
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 6: But still a solid day of work and it's hard

167
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 6: to stack days, I think. And now you go into

168
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 6: the off day, and I'll be interested to see, said,

169
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 6: how do they come back on Monday, because a lot

170
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 6: of times that's when you see teams lose focus, you

171
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 6: see the coach get upset in terms of how the

172
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 6: practice went. So I'll be watching to see how they

173
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 6: practice Monday.

174
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned it, Eric, They have tomorrow off, the

175
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: players have tomorrow off, and then Monday they'll come back

176
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: for their first padded practice and head coach On Payton

177
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: said that they're gonna have some live periods as well during.

178
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 6: That Yeah, and you know he didn't expand on that,

179
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 6: but from what I understand about what a live period

180
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 6: is typically is, I mean it's tackling, right, and so

181
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 6: the Broncos did not do that last year, and really

182
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 6: they haven't done that for several years. I don't think

183
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 6: Vic Fangio when he was the head coach, there were

184
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 6: a couple of live periods. I don't think when Vance

185
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 6: Joseph was the head coach that there were many, if

186
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 6: any live periods. And then you know, I was here

187
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 6: for just one training camp with Gary Kubiak.

188
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 7: I don't recall that, but it's possible.

189
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 6: But certainly the Bronxs have gone a long time here

190
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 6: and many teams around the league have gone away from

191
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 6: those live periods.

192
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 7: We know, we know Detroit does them. About Dan Campbell.

193
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 6: We saw in Hard Knocks they tackle to the ground,

194
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 6: and one, I think that builds good tackling technique and habits,

195
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 6: but also I think it helps with that mentality of hey,

196
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 6: we're here to work, we're here to play real football.

197
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 6: We've heard Sean Payton say that again and again and again.

198
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 6: We're gonna play real football. We're gonna do things differently

199
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 6: than we did last year.

200
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 7: We're going to work. So yeah, I'm excited.

201
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm excited too.

202
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 7: Doesn't sound like all of.

203
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 6: Them are going to be live periods, certainly, but but

204
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 6: he talked about clear communication and being on the same

205
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 6: page and you know, knowing, hey, is this a period

206
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 6: where we're going live. Let's protect each other. You know,

207
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 6: obviously you don't you don't want any injuries. You want

208
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 6: guys to be smart and dirty tackles, anything like that.

209
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 6: So we'll have to see how that goes. But yeah,

210
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 6: I mean, if they're if they're going live, so that's

211
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 6: going to be a true evaluation that you don't often

212
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 6: get during training.

213
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 7: Cancil fired up.

214
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: For that, mean too, I'm excited.

215
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: No. Head coach Sean Payton said that, you know, players

216
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: are off tomorrow, but he's still going to be in

217
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: the building and you know, kind of working through what

218
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: the scripts look like the next week of practice and

219
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: maybe he'll call Sean McVay over at the RAMS and.

220
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: Kind of get that joint practice situated.

221
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's coming up here in just a couple of weeks,

222
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 6: but here before we know it really will Yeah, I

223
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 6: mean there's no off days for the coaches, right the

224
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 6: players get a data rest or relax to recover before

225
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 6: they get and again, they've got a long stretch here,

226
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 6: you know, before next weekend. They're going to come back

227
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 6: Monday and just practice and I think it's one of

228
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 6: the longest stretches of camp here in terms of consecutive practices.

229
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 6: So they're gonna they're going to go after it a

230
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 6: little bit. Guys, got to rest up. The coaches are

231
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 6: going to put the plan together in terms of what

232
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 6: practice looks like, how are they going to script things.

233
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 6: I would imagine, like we just mentioned, that would involve

234
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 6: a discussion about how many live periods are we going

235
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 6: to do, So all of that I'll be decided here

236
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 6: on this off day on Sunday.

237
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: You know, Eric was really great to hear from outside

238
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: linebacker Frank Clark today as well. It was the first

239
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: time we've heard from him, you know, since he joined

240
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: the Broncos, and you know, he.

241
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: Had a lot of good stuff to say.

242
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: But one thing that got my attention was a reporter

243
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: asked him what makes these championship teams because obviously he's

244
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs, what makes these

245
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: championship teams, you know, different. He talked about the routine,

246
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, the focus level, their ability to eliminate distractions.

247
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: He mentioned him and his teammates connecting on a different level.

248
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: And you know, it's been everything we've heard had coach

249
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: on Payton talk about the past several months.

250
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, no kidding.

251
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 6: I mean, Frank Clark has that same mentality. He's obviously

252
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 6: a proven winner. He's up there all time, I think

253
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 6: third or fourth somewhere in terms of all time postseason sacks.

254
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 6: I mean, he's he's been very successful and it might

255
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 6: be a little bit lower on the list, but he's

256
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 6: certainly up there. He's a guy that is going to

257
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 6: provide a presence off the edge, but also he knows

258
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 6: how to win. And so, gosh, what three AFC championship wins,

259
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 6: two Super Bowl wins, and I mean it hurts us

260
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 6: here to talk about it, but you're but you're getting

261
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 6: a guy who has won at the highest level, who

262
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 6: knows what it takes. And he did say, hey, I'm

263
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 6: not coming in and reminding everybody that I've won two

264
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 6: Super Bowls and I'm not I haven't told I haven't

265
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 6: had that conversation with anybody. But I do think if

266
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 6: these guys are very smart, they'll listen to Frank and say, okay, well,

267
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 6: what's things did you do there that worked? And having

268
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey probably helps. But there are

269
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 6: habits that you have to have to put yourself in

270
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 6: that position to go from good team to championship team.

271
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 6: And so these guys are able to listen to Frank,

272
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 6: if he's able to impart some of that knowledge.

273
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 7: It can only help.

274
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: And he's also got kind of that edge to him

275
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 6: that I think you need on a team that has

276
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 6: playoff aspirations.

277
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: Right. You know, it's funny you say that, because throughout

278
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: the past couple of practices we've seen Frank Clark kind

279
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: of take the outside linebackers to the side and kind

280
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: of coach them up a bit, talk to them in

281
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: the huddle, which is great to see. And you know,

282
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: one other thing that kind of caught my attention is

283
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: someone asked him whether Russell Wilson was any different now,

284
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: because of course he played with him in Seattle a

285
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: few years ago, and he said, no, I mean, mentality wise,

286
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: he's just as dangerous.

287
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, And he acknowledged that guys get older, and he

288
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 6: said he hasn't seen that happen with Russ, but he

289
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 6: said with Russ same mentality, he's just as dangerous. He's

290
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 6: still a guy that can go out there and make

291
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 6: things happen. Listen, Frank Clark obviously was with him in Seattle,

292
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 6: and so he's seen kind of the best of us

293
00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 6: and no reason to you know, why he would to

294
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 6: sugarcoat anything or hype anything up. I mean, he's going

295
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 6: to give an honest evaluation here of his teammate, because

296
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 6: he was honest about everything else. Right, He was asked

297
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 6: about the Chiefs and Broncos, and he said the fifteen game,

298
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 6: losing Street to the Chiefs, that's not what a rivalry

299
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 6: is about. It's not a rivalry right now. So Frank

300
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 6: Clark's certainly not afraid of being honest. But with Russ said, yeah,

301
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 6: he's still got it. We've seen some other defenders talk

302
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 6: about Russell's speed and what he's been able to do

303
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 6: out there. So I am excited to see what Russell

304
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 6: can do. I saw some of those flashes like I

305
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 6: mentioned earlier, said yeah during practice today, and you know,

306
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 6: hope to see more of them more consistently as training

307
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 6: camp goes on.

308
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: Definitely.

309
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: Like we said, great first couple of days of practice

310
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: here of training camp. We'll be off tomorrow, but then

311
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: we'll be right back.
