Welcome back to the Broncos podcast 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: network and YouTube for the latest episode of Broncos Now. 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Team reporter and host a Sidney Jones Here and coming 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: up on today's episode, we'll discuss the announcement of the 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: Broncos new alternate helmet and we'll talk about the upcoming 6 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: NFL Draft. I'll add more coming up. Joining me here 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: inside the Bronchos podcast studio is Broncos lead writer Eric Dlala. Eric, 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: thanks for joining the show again today. It's been a while. 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: It has been a lot a couple weeks since we've 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: had you on. Nice to be back. It's nice to 11 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: have you back. It's kind of been a bit of 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: a slow week here. But the Broncos they did announce 13 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: on social media that they're introducing in alternate helmets. So 14 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: that's exciting. That is exciting. Yeah, fans are I think 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of buzz about what that means. Not 16 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: a ton of details yet. Obviously, the NFL changed the 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: rule a couple of years ago that you can wear 18 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: an alternate helmet now and people might say, okay, well 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: you wear a different helmet right with the blue jersey. 20 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes to do the throwback d Well, technically it's the 21 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: same helmet. They're just changing the sticker color or stickers 22 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: that are on those. It's the same base color of 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: the helmet. So what this allows a team to do 24 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: is change the color of the helmet. You know, no 25 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: official announcement about when the Broncos are going to wear these. 26 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: They can wear them for up to two games and 27 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: they will be paired with that color Rush uniform. But 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a t TBD. There more to 29 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: come for sure, Yeah, Eric demanie Leach. He hinted at 30 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: it last week at the league's meetings owners meetings, So 31 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: we'll see. Like you mentioned, we don't have any details yet, 32 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: but it's exciting. I think Broncos fans should be excited. 33 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what it looks like. Yeah, very cool. Yeah, well, Eric, 34 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of hard to believe I'm even 35 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: saying this, but it's April, so the NFL Draft is 36 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: coming up at the end of the month. We're just 37 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: a couple weeks away. Now. I know the Broncos they 38 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: have five picks, two third rounders, a fourth, a fifth, 39 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: and a sixth. What positions do you think the Broncos, 40 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: you know might target Yeah, well, you know the Broncos, 41 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: first of all, they hit a lot of needs in 42 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: free agency, and we heard Shan Peyton say last week 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: we hit all the musts on our list. We heard 44 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: George Peyton and talk about the importance of I think 45 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: he said making some hay in this draft, you know, 46 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: really hitting on these picks since you don't have all 47 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: that many of them. I think when you look around Sydney, 48 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: the positions that you still see mentioned are interior offensive line, 49 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: whether that's a center. Obviously the Broncos signed Kyle Fuller 50 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: to provide some depth there, but maybe it's a somebody 51 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: on the interior offensive line. You've seen edge rusher come 52 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: up a lot, just because obviously Bradley Chubb was traded 53 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: last year, Randy Gregory did not play in every game, 54 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: he struggled with some injuries last year. And then you've 55 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: got some guys like Nick Benito, Baron Browning who will 56 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: kind of look to take that next step. So that's 57 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: a position. And then I've seen inside linebacker, cornerback also mentioned. 58 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: So you know, it really wouldn't surprise me if they 59 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: go any direction there because even look at like a 60 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver or running back. If Sean Payton wants to 61 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: get his type of guy in here from a position, 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: or ad depth at running back, which Jevonte Williams coming 63 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: back from an injury. Those are all possibilities, and so 64 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: I think that's what makes us exciting is when you 65 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: have somebody new in place, like Sean Payton and he's 66 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: making these decisions with George Peyton, you don't know exactly 67 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: what this is going to look like, right, And I 68 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: think the other part of it is that when you're 69 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: picking in the third round, you know you're not You're 70 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: not at you know, fifteen overall, where you can kind 71 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: of go through these mock drafts and figure out, Okay, 72 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: who's available. How many times is is Jerry Judy going 73 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: to be on the board at fifteen? For example, I 74 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: have a feeling they're probably not going through and doing 75 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of sixty six pick mock drafts to get 76 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: to sixty seven. Maybe they're still doing some, but but 77 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: it's harder to guess, I think of who's going to 78 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: be there. So you got to have a lot of 79 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,279 Speaker 1: good options that you like. Yeah, Eric, you mentioned mock drafts. 80 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: Despite us not having a first or second round pick. 81 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: I know there's you know, a ton of mock drafts 82 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: still circulating around. So what are some names that you've 83 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: seen out there? Yes, and we just put together a 84 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: mock draft round up Denver Broncos dot com. So some 85 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: of those names, Zach Harrison from Ohio State and edge 86 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: rusher that's probably worth keeping an eye on, um my 87 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: understanding high potential, Maybe a guy that le Broncos would 88 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: be lucky if he slips down there. Joe Titman, a 89 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: center from Wisconsin. You know, again, some different interior players 90 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: mentioned there for the Broncos. Um Keanu Benton, a defensive 91 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: tackle from Wisconsin. Clark Phillips, a corner from Utah. So 92 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot of different names here. I think you've started 93 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: to see some names come out, um in this pre 94 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: draft process of who the Broncos are hosting on these 95 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: top thirty visits, which it's kind of funny calling it 96 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: a top thirty visit right when it's for pick sixty seven, 97 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: but it's the Broncos, the Broncos top thirty player and so, 98 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: m you've seen some reports there and I would imagine 99 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: those little kind of you know, we've seen reports of 100 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: a quarterback. We've seen reports of some defensive players. So 101 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: I just think the in the third round, it might 102 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: not be a household name or a name that people 103 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: recognize immediately, but that doesn't mean that can't be an 104 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: impact player. I mean you look at Quinn Miners. I 105 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: think you know, probably not a lot of people had 106 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: heard of Quinn Miners coming out of a small school. 107 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: If you knew of Quinn Miners, it was probably because 108 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: of his stomach and pushing over trees. And so still 109 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: a really good chance to get a high quality player there, 110 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: even if you kind of have to learn a little 111 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: bit more about them once the pick is made. Yeah, 112 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: Baron Browning, he was also a third round pick, Lloyd Cushionberry. 113 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean, guys who are starters now so definitely can 114 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: have impact. Yeah, and they have two for this team, 115 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: right because the Roncas have filled a lot of needs 116 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: in free agency. But you still, the lifeblood of a 117 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: team has to be building through the draft, and when 118 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: you don't have first and second round picks, you've got 119 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: to hit probably a little bit more than you would 120 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: normally in those later rounds, and you've got to find 121 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: a DeMar mathis you've got to find these guys that 122 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: can come in and contribute. And listen, they don't have 123 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: to be star players, right, they don't have to be that, 124 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: especially in year one, But you want to find guys 125 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: that can make some sort of contribution. You think of 126 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: how many injuries the Broncos had last year, knock on wood, 127 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: that that won't happen again, But these guys are going 128 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: to contribute it. Pretty much everyone who made the team 129 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: last year, Sydney contributed in some fashion, and a lot 130 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: of guys that weren't on the roster at the beginning 131 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: of the year. So a lot on the line here 132 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: when the draft arrives in a few weeks, and you 133 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: think about special team guys too, I meane Payton he 134 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: put a big focus an emphasis on that at the 135 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: league meeting last week too, So a lot of guys 136 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: they could draft in that realm as well. Yeah. Absolutely, 137 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: And you know, we've talked a lot about these third 138 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: round picks, the two that they've got there. I've seen 139 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: some mock drafts that suggest maybe the Broncos take one 140 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: player there and then trade down to get a couple 141 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: more picks. But listen, there's also that fourth fifth and 142 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: sixth on Day three. Probably not going to get three 143 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: starters out of that, but maybe maybe you make a 144 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: good pick, Maybe you hit on somebody. I believe in 145 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: Sean Payton's first draft in New Orleans or an early draft, 146 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: a couple of seventh round picks he made that ended 147 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 1: up being really really good football players for that team. 148 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: So certainly not out of the realm of possibility that 149 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: you could find long term contributors. Absolutely well, Eric, the 150 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 1: offseason program is coming up. I know the NFL schedule 151 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 1: has the Broncos set to start their voluntary offseason program 152 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: on April eleventh. I know last week at the owners meetings, 153 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: both George Payton and head coach Sean Payton talked about 154 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: the importance of, you know, Phase one and focusing on 155 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: strength and conditioning. It's hard to believe the players are 156 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: already going to be back next week, but you kind 157 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: of just talk about how, you know, important that as 158 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: you mentioned the injuries earlier. Yeah, you know, I think 159 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: that sometimes we overlook, you know ourselves, fans, we overlook 160 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: the importance of certain steps of this program, this process, 161 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: and we think it had to Okay, what's it going 162 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: to look like? In training camp, and it's fun to 163 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: speculate and how many wins are the Broncos going to 164 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: have or who's going to start at this position. I 165 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: think good football teams take advantage of each day. And 166 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: when Sean Payne was hired here, that was one of 167 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: the things he said. It was that we need to 168 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: be a little bit better tomorrow than we work today, 169 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: and we need to get better and take advantage of 170 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: this time and you know, have the right you know, 171 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: we heard from owner and CEO Greg Penner down in 172 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: Arizona and he said success is partially determining the right process, 173 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: having the right culture, those sorts of things. And so 174 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: you take that from kind of this like macro sense 175 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: of okay, hey, we're gonna focus on everything. The details 176 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: are gonna matter. Okay, Well, here's one of our first 177 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: opportunities where you see that. It's the offseason program. Players 178 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: can come in here, and you know, the way the 179 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: NFL has it set up is you only have to 180 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: spend a couple of weeks on Phase one, where it's 181 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: lifting and conditioning, and then you can get to football. 182 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: In Sean Payton's mind, the Broncos need more time than 183 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: that and he's seen through his times, his time in 184 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: New Orleans, the acclamation process that it takes for these 185 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: high level athletes to get up to speed, to get 186 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: into football shape. And he sat down at the league meeting, 187 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna lift and we're gonna run for a month, 188 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: because two or three weeks is not enough. And so 189 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: I think that's the first line of how important details 190 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: are to him of establishing a culture. Yeah. Absolutely, and 191 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: you listen. I think it's going to teach you something 192 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: about this team of who's willing to buy into that. 193 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: And I would imagine the guys all will be, but hey, 194 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: who's going to do their very best at lifting weights 195 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: and being a little bit better at that the next day? 196 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: Who's going to take the conditioning seriously? And hey, we're 197 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: not easing up two yards before the sprint is finished. 198 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: We're running the whole way through the line. Those things 199 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: are important and I think set the tone. The leaders 200 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: on this football team will help kind of determine that. 201 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: And you know, there's some hard working guys on this team, 202 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: So Sean Payne will help get the most out of them, 203 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: get the most out of them, and that starts next week. 204 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: I know everyone's excited for them to be back in 205 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: the building. Austin here for you, Eric, you know, for 206 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: some of our casual fans, what do the next couple 207 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: weeks look like? What does the offseason program really look like? Yeah, 208 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: good question. So there's a bunch of different phases here, right. 209 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: Phase one, like I mentioned, is running and conditioning, kind 210 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: of a little bit of you know, you can be 211 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: on the field just players, and then you get to 212 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: Phase two and you can do a little bit more 213 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: some walkthrough stuff, no offense first defense, but you're able 214 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: to get out on the field. And then Phase three 215 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: is people know that more kind of casually as OTAs 216 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: organized team activities, and at that point you can do 217 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: offense first defense. There's still no contact, you're not in pads, 218 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: none of that stuff, but it is an opportunity to 219 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: kind of get that first first taste of real football 220 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: if you will. You know, most teams. We'll see what 221 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: the Broncos end up doing. Moose teams host a mini 222 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: camp for rookies after the draft at May. A lot 223 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: of teams host a mandatory mini camp at the end 224 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: of the off season program in June, so that's kind 225 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: of a chance to simulate training camp, not with the contact, 226 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: but you have all these practices and then you also 227 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: have time to meet. Whereas the rest of the off 228 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: season programs and there's there's limitations on how long you 229 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: can have guys in the building, how long you can 230 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: be doing football all activities, and so the mandatory mini 231 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: camp there's still limits, but it simulates training camp more closely, 232 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: and then then we're often it's only a few weeks 233 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: until the real thing gets started. Gosh, times flying by 234 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: this offseason always does.
