4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: the Broncos had their first mandatory mini camp practice, so

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: we'll hear from head coach Sean Payton, wide receivers Jerry

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: Judy and Tim Patrick and.

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: Moore all that coming up.

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: The Broncos held their first mandatory mini camp practice on

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: it Tuesday. It was their first of three this week

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: before the players and coaches head out for their summer break.

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: Before the start of training camp.

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Head coach Sean Payton spoke to the media following Tuesday's

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: practice and talked about his main takeaway from the day.

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: You know, they're making progress. We've got a few guys.

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: We're allowed to have some tryout players here. We have

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: a few and then you know, we carried it over

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: into training camp and we start again with the first

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: install and so repetition, you know, obviously has always been

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: the mother of learning. You know, and you repeat it,

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: you repeat it. Too many flags on the ground for

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: me today. You know, it was good to have the

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: officials here and yet you know, we ran out of

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: sand in some of the penalty you know, flags, so

24
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 3: they had to go get back up flags. Before you

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: start figuring out how to win, you got to know

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: not you know how not to lose. And so last

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: year we ranked I don't even want to give it

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: to you twenty eighth and twenty seventh, twenty ninth in

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: pre snap fils on both sides of the ball, and

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: that's going to change. So it's good to have that

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: pointed out. And I like the way they're practicing. I

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: like the intensity, I like their effort, and I think

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: many they're working hard. But you also got to be smart.

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: Plus.

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: Coach Painton talked about this signing of outside linebacker Frank

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: Clark and how his skill set we'll fit in here.

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: A pressure player, someone that I remember doing a lot

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: of work on when he came out of the draft

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: and we followed him obviously at Seattle first and then

40
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: in Kansas City. Uh it's one of the areas that

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: you know that we paid close attention to and uh,

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: you know, we'll find a role within what we're doing

43
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: where he can help us. I think it's always it's

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: always a challenge to find, uh, those guys that you

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: can say are pressure players, but he's one of them.

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: And uh, certainly he's excelled in the postseason both in

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: Seattle and in Kansas City. So yeah, that that that

48
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: that's the vision.

49
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Jerry Judy also spoke with the media following

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday's practice and talked about his early impressions of this

51
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: offense and how the tempo of practice is different.

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 4: The different allignments, you know, uh, you know, the alignments

53
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: really help us with all different vari I can't even

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: say the word of out running stuff like that, just

55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 4: it just helped us not get a help us help

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: the defense not get a jump on those just by

57
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: our lines and stuff like that. So that's that's really big.

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: It's a lot more fast and just getting it in

59
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: and out the huddle, you know, the temple, just making

60
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: sure we line up as fast as possible, getting the formations,

61
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 4: getting the defense, and just understand the assignment fast as.

62
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: Possible for real.

63
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: And as for the defense, the players are continuing to

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: learn defensive coordinator advanced Joseph scheme. Take a listen to

65
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: what inside linebacker Alex Singleton had to say about it.

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 5: I think every coach tell you it's kind of they

67
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: give you, you know, the system, but you know, the

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 5: players the coaches got to work together. It's not like

69
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 5: high school you can just you know, you have to

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 5: do it this way. I think the best part is,

71
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 5: you know, with CP and Marcus Staying, they were really

72
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 5: able to change, not change, but uh, you know, use

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 5: a lot of the same verbiage that we had last year.

74
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: So it wasn't just throwing away everything we've done. And

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: you know that the some of the guys that have

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 5: you know, like Justin have been here for the last

77
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 5: seven years playing a high level of defense, so they

78
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 5: didn't just throw all that away. And you know, I

79
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: have been able to really combine the two defenses, and

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: so I think for us it's just you know, continuing

81
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 5: to play together. And you know, every day we've been

82
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 5: growing more and more.

83
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: With up plus, we heard from wide receiver Tim Patrick

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: for the first time this offseason. He detailed his journey

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: coming back from that ACL tear he suffered last training

86
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: camp and how he.

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: Felt at practice on Tuesday.

88
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 6: Just my family, positivity, watching a lot of film on myself.

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 6: It's just a daily reminder that it's it's a long

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 6: road and it's not going to happen overnight. Honestly, I

91
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 6: felt great today, like physic, like me out there felt good.

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 6: I think the thing I need to get back is

93
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 6: just seeing the whole field. I think right now I'm

94
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 6: just so tunnel vision of making sure I do the

95
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 6: right thing and learning a new offense is I'm just

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 6: tunnel vision. And it's not You ever play Madden when

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 6: your QB's on, you see the whole field when he's

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 6: off is small, and right now mine is small right now,

99
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 6: But I'm gonna still make plays. But I'm just not

100
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 6: seeing the whole field.

101
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: And as the off season comes to an end.

102
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: This week, coach Bin detailed the new culture he's built here.

103
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: I do think it starts with the ingredients. So the recipe,

104
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: the recipe for culture starts with you know who's in

105
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: the building. It's hard to have the right culture if

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: you don't have the right ingredients. And then it's the

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: attention to every detail. I think there's got to be

108
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: passion involved with that, you know, and so in the

109
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: procurement process of players, you've really got to dig into

110
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: And it's the hardest thing now for us is finding

111
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: guys that truly love their love their job. And it's

112
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: not a slight against, but it's it's finding the right

113
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: people to build the culture around. And uh, it's we

114
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: can evaluate the talent on the tape, but all the

115
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: other aspects that are challenges in today's NFL that may

116
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: not have been challenges in the seventies or early eighties,

117
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: there are challenges today. There's three fights that you have

118
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: to win every day. There's a sign in the locker room.

119
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: Number one, division from within, Number two, your competition, and

120
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: number three all right, public perception.

121
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Now joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio is

122
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: fellow team reporter at Phil Malaney. Phil, the first day

123
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: of mandatory mini camps in the books.

124
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for having me. Good to be here on

125
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 7: day one. I know, a mandatory mini camp.

126
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 2: I love it.

127
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: First off, Phil, I want to ask how you're feeling,

128
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: because I know last night was a really big night

129
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: for you.

130
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: You're Denver, right, Yeah, I'll be a champions.

131
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 7: Oh what a story. I know, you know, just from

132
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 7: all the guys on a team, years of heartbreak, you know,

133
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 7: as Nuggets fans growing up in this city. You know,

134
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 7: you just think about all these teams as a kid,

135
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 7: and then the down years that the Nuggets have had

136
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 7: and then this reason run of success. It's amazing that

137
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 7: they finally got to the mountaintop. And I think that

138
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 7: there's so many stories of inspiration on that team that

139
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 7: they provide some examples of, Hey, if you could Jamal

140
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 7: Murray getting over his ACL injury now he's one of

141
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 7: the best players in the NBA and he's a champion,

142
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 7: you know, or Nicola jokicch the narrative about him just

143
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 7: being like this clunky, you know, out of shape guy. No, like,

144
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 7: you know, with hard work, he can be a two

145
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 7: time MVP and NBA Finals MVP and now a champion.

146
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 7: Two So what a remarkable story, and it was. It

147
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 7: was a fun ride.

148
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: So exciting for this city. I'm surprised you made it

149
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: into work today, Phil, You.

150
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 7: Know, I will say the stress of the last two

151
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 7: months just you know, every other night almost learn. Yeah,

152
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 7: it was a stressful ride. But I'm also kind of

153
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 7: sad that it's over now. So it's a weird feeling.

154
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 7: Are you going to go to the parade on the

155
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 7: try tot see what happens they're practicing here, So, yeah.

156
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: That's true.

157
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: It was kind of cool today to hear you know,

158
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: the players talk about you mentioned how motivational was see

159
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: you guys like Jamal Murray and Nicola you know, reach

160
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: the finals. But it's motivational for these guys the Broncos

161
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: to come in and you know, realize that they could

162
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: do the same thing too.

163
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you see the city just come together. You know,

164
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 7: all the shots of the celebrations last night, and you know,

165
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 7: this is a sports city, you know, and they really

166
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 7: get behind their teams here and when the Broncos are

167
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 7: really good, there's nothing like that in this city. So yeah,

168
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 7: I mean two years ago the Haves won the Stanley Cup.

169
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 7: This year it's the Nuggets, and you know, we'll have

170
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 7: to see if the Broncos can get back into that

171
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 7: conversation because you know, thinking back to Super Bowl fifty,

172
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 7: that parade, going by Union Station and going into the

173
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 7: pictures of it going into Civic Center Park downtown, I mean,

174
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 7: those are memories that last a lifetime and I think

175
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 7: that those are some special times and just there's nothing

176
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 7: like that winning a championship. So getting back to that,

177
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 7: I'm sure that you know, that's why everybody does the work.

178
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think that if your Broncos playing. You

179
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 7: see that, you want you want a taste of that.

180
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 7: So oh yeah, that's a motivation I guess definitely.

181
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tim Patrick, he talked about it today.

182
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, on a personal level for Taylor, Yeah, just to

183
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 7: see everything that Jamal went through with his ACL tear,

184
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 7: you can like sort of just compare that to your

185
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 7: own road and you're like, Okay, if he can do

186
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 7: it with hard work, you know, maybe I can do

187
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 7: it too. So yeah, I think there's some personal connections

188
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 7: there where you can get some really good positive motivation.

189
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: Definitely.

190
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: It was the first time we heard from Tim this

191
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: entire offseason. Yeah, it's great to hear how he's doing too.

192
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: He said his body feels really one hundred percent.

193
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean I just still remember that day back

194
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 7: in training camp last year, you know, and him just

195
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 7: grabbing his knee and you know, streaming and pain and

196
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 7: just that feeling. You feel so bad for him because

197
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 7: he was like coming onto the scene really, you know,

198
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 7: like he had had that great year. You know, you

199
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 7: think back to that kid touchdown Catchy had in Dallas

200
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 7: and you're like, this guy is a legitimate wide receiver

201
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 7: in that Yeah, so for him to get down that

202
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 7: that was so painful last year, and then you've seen

203
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 7: him around the facility every single day working to get

204
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 7: back and then rehab and you know, I think the

205
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 7: thing that you talk to these guys who go through

206
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 7: this rehab process, you know, everybody has their good days,

207
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 7: but it's the bad days when you just don't want

208
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 7: to do it to be able to push through and

209
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 7: get through those days. That's that's what separates people during

210
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 7: this rehab process. And nobody's got that chip or that

211
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 7: edge to them like Tim does. So if you know,

212
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 7: I don't think there's any doubt that Tim has put

213
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 7: in the work and that he was going to get

214
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 7: back to this point. And you know, we'll see when

215
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 7: training cam comes around if he's just rolling full on

216
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 7: all cylinders, you know, that's going to be exciting to see.

217
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: It'll be really exciting. It's great to hear from him

218
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: and see him back out all on the field.

219
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

220
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, And he's out there now doing stuff, so yeah,

221
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 7: we'll see, just you know, one more month if he's

222
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 7: just like keeps working at it, and you know it's

223
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 7: going to be a process still, I think, you know,

224
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 7: just the first time you're doing new things adding them in.

225
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 7: There's sort of a physical barrier and then there's that

226
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 7: mental barrier, and so it's going to be a process

227
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 7: for Tim, but definitely some encouraging signs so far.

228
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: For sure.

229
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: Something else that was interesting that Tim said Phil was

230
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: that kJ Hammler is living.

231
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: With him right now too, And of course, you know.

232
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: KJ unfortunately has suffered a lot of injuries over the

233
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: past several seasons too, and he said that he asked

234
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: him to move in with him so that they could have.

235
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: This routine together.

236
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, they can help each other through this,

237
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: give each other motivation to you know, come in and

238
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: hold each other accountable every single day.

239
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 7: I think we all we all know what kJ Hamdler

240
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 7: can be, you know, and it takes a lot of

241
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 7: work to get to that. And I think that what

242
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 7: Tim was saying was like, you've got to have a

243
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 7: routine here where every day you're doing the same thing,

244
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 7: don't he I think he said, don't get bored of

245
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 7: your routine, keep with it, and then that's how you

246
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 7: can have success out on the field. And you know,

247
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 7: you feel for kJ just with all the injuries he's

248
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 7: gone through, with that ACL and the hip, the terrible injury.

249
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 7: You know, last year was so up and down for him,

250
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 7: and then of course this offseason, working on his own,

251
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 7: he gets hurt again. You know, so that wide receiving

252
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 7: room is packed. There's a lot of depth there. So

253
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 7: you know, you just think about kJ, the guy. He

254
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 7: came out with so much potential, and for all of

255
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 7: these different injuries and things that happen to him, it's

256
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 7: been a rough road. And so when you can have

257
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 7: like a big brother like Tim who says, hey, my

258
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 7: road hasn't been exactly smooth, why don't you come with

259
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 7: me and see how you know, I work, how I

260
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 7: do my routine, And then they can each hold each

261
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 7: other accountable, you know, so like those bad days that

262
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 7: I mentioned, Tim maybe doesn't want to do the rehable

263
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 7: Kj's there pushing him to do it, and then vice versa.

264
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 7: It was kind of funny because they said, Okay, well

265
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 7: is CAG just like living in your basement? Yeah, and

266
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 7: he was like, well, you guys are making it sound

267
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 7: like basement's a bad thing. You know.

268
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah.

269
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 7: It's not some dark dungeon. So he said that he's

270
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 7: living good, better than how I used to be, so

271
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 7: that's good. It's nice to see Tim take care of him.

272
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: So, you know, it's interesting. Someone brought up the fact that.

273
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: You know, these core four receivers that this team has

274
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: had the past, you know, several years, past three years,

275
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, Courtland, Tim Patrick, Jerry Judy and kJ Hamler,

276
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: they really have to do it been able to play together.

277
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, that first year, just with Teddy Bridgewater when he

278
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 7: was here, those few games that they were able to

279
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 7: play together, those are the only ones where they were

280
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 7: all healthy. So yeah, like with throw Russell Wilson in there,

281
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 7: throw Champagne's uh, you know, offensive mind in there. And

282
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 7: there's a reason to be excited about this squad, but

283
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 7: it's gonna it's gonna take a lot to get there,

284
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 7: just for them to all be healthy. And you know,

285
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 7: I think training camp will show, you know, what's going

286
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 7: to happen with these wide receivers. You know, there's always

287
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 7: some guy who unexpectedly shines. It feels like during training camp.

288
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 7: Of course, they bring in Marvin Mims Junior from Oklahoma

289
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 7: with their first pick this year, so like there's just

290
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 7: a lot of competition there. So it's gonna be that's

291
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 7: gonna be something to watch all throughout camp.

292
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was you know, we heard from Jerry

293
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: Judy as well, sticking on the receivers here Phil, and

294
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: it was great to hear him talk about how we

295
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: kind of finished last season and how he felt like

296
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: everything just kind of was in sync and things were flowing,

297
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: and he's looking to start off this season the way

298
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: that they ended it.

299
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, you hear Sean Payton talk about

300
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 7: confidence so much and that you know, the work has

301
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 7: to lead to something that you can build on. And

302
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 7: I think that what happened at the end of last

303
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 7: year for Jerry is definitely something to build on.

304
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

305
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 7: The three touchdown game against Kansas City, You're like, I

306
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 7: can do this, the career high in receiving yards against

307
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 7: the Argers in the season finale last year, he was

308
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 7: the AFC Offensive Player of the Week, you know, for

309
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 7: the final week of season. So there was so much

310
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 7: positive momentum there that that gives you confidence, you know,

311
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 7: if you're a guy like Jerry Judy, and you know

312
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 7: there he was his name was, you know, circling around

313
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 7: trade rumors this offseason. He was like, Hey, it's nice

314
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 7: to be wanted, but I'm glad I'm with the Denver Broncos,

315
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 7: kind of the same thing that Corln Sutton said. And

316
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 7: you know this, it's time for Jerry to really take

317
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 7: that step. You know, the guys that he was drafted

318
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 7: with that year, Justin Jefferson with the Vikings, Ceedee Lamb

319
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 7: with the Cowboys. I know that Jerry feels like he

320
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 7: belongs in that same group with those guys. And at

321
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 7: the end of last year, he showed what he's capable of.

322
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 7: So now you go and if can you do it

323
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 7: for a whole year or right, you know, that's the

324
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 7: next step here for him. And you know, there's there's

325
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 7: a lot of optimism around Jerry Judy right now. So

326
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 7: you know, last week we heard Sean Payton even talking

327
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 7: about him like, hey, I'm going to coach him hard.

328
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 7: I'm going to be on him because that's what it

329
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 7: takes to be great, you know, constantly every day. Yeah,

330
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 7: and he sees that potential too. He talked about how

331
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 7: explosive he is and his loose hips and his route running,

332
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 7: you know, and so it's good to know that the

333
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 7: head coach sees that and is going to push him

334
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 7: right and we'll see what happens now.

335
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

336
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Coach Payton even talked about Courtland Sutton in that same

337
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: respect today too, and you know how excited he is

338
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: for him. You know, we talked about his speed, how

339
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: big he is, and the potential that he has and

340
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: wants to really be great.

341
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Courtland Sutton's watching film of Michael Thomas. He

342
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 7: was back to back first team All pros in seventeen

343
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 7: and eighteen with the Saints. So you look at the

344
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 7: body types very similar. So you know, you watch film

345
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 7: of this guy, it's a similar offense that they're going

346
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 7: to be running here in Denver. Hey, let me see

347
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 7: how he did it. I'll incorporate some of those things

348
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 7: into my game and then see what happens.

349
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: One other thing that coach said Phil that I thought

350
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: was really interesting was he mentioned that, you know, outside

351
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: linebacker Baron Browning, he's going to start for.

352
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: Pm On Pup.

353
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, that is something that you're gonna have to watch.

354
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 7: You know. Pass rush is crucial in this game. Is

355
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 7: when you know, Champagne was saying that you've got to

356
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 7: be able to affect a quarterback and he said that

357
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 7: you could do that from all different positions. You know,

358
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 7: it doesn't have to just be an edge guy. You know,

359
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 7: he talked about the safeties being able to do that.

360
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 7: Inside linebacker Drew Sanders, you know, when he was drafted,

361
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 7: they're saying, hey, this guy's a pressure player. So the

362
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 7: Broncos are going to have to find a way to

363
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 7: generate a pass rush, even guys along the interior the

364
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 7: defensive line. You got to be able to get after

365
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 7: the quarterback, especially when you're playing Patrick Mahomes twice a year,

366
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 7: you're playing Justin Herbert twice a year. You got to

367
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 7: really be able to disrupt the game a little bit here. So, yeah,

368
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 7: Baron Browning starting the season on pup. We'll have to

369
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 7: see how he can recover, because he had a pretty

370
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 7: good year last year. You know, he was the kind

371
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 7: of guy where you're solid. Let's see what can happen

372
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 7: with him, you know. So hoping that he can get

373
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 7: back on the field sooner rather than later.

374
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeap, Hoping for a speedy recovery.

375
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 7: There.

376
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: We have a couple more days of practice here before

377
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: everybody hitched the road for summer break.

378
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, everybody always says, are you ready for training camp?

379
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 7: I'm like, give me one more week. I just get it.

380
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 7: It's nice to have that break, and it's also nice

381
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 7: when the guys come back, But the break is important.

382
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 7: It's that's an important stretch where you can get your

383
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 7: mind right. And I think Champagne said, when you come

384
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 7: back from that break, it's like you're walking onto an

385
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 7: aircraft carrier and you're just getting whisked away to some

386
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 7: football land where that's all that matters for six months. So, uh,

387
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 7: you've got to be able to have some balance in

388
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 7: your life. And yeah, those six weeks I'm going to enjoy.

389
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 2: Those me too.

390
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: Be here before we know exactly exactly, Well, feel appreciate
