00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back inside the uc Hell Training Center

00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: for another episode of Broncos Now to reporter and host

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Sydney Jones. Here and coming up on today's episode, the

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: team officially announced Sean Payton as the head coach of

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: your Denver Broncos. We'll talk about the higher in the

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: trade in NFL Networks, Peter Schreiger joins the show to

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: keep his thoughts on coach Payton all that more coming up.

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: After a ton of speculation surrounding the head coaching search,

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: that Denver Broncos have finalized to deal with the New

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints that will make Sean Payton their next head coach.

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: The Broncos are sending New Orleans this year's a first

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: round pick in second round pick in exchange for Sean

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: Payton in a Saints third rounder. So joining me here

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: inside the Broncos podcast studio to talk about the higher

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: and the experience Sean Payton brings to Denver is Broncos

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: lead writer Eric de Lala, Eric, the deal is finally done.

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: What was your initial reaction to when you found out? Yeah? First, Noah, No.

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Skipping ahead to Peter Schegar, Everyone's gotta listen to me, first, Um,

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: now I was excited. I think that this is a

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: big win, a home run type higher for le Broncos. Um.

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: We've heard that over and over from different media members,

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: but I think it's true, and that you have a

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: proven head coach, somebody who has gone out there in

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: one a super Bowl in his history, has time and

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: time again showed an ability to put together a top

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: ten offense. And I think there's this sentiment maybe, um,

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: when you think about Sean Payton, that oh, it's Drew

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: Brees that did this with Sean Payton. And that's certainly true.

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: They did a lot together, But I also think you've

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: got to think about what he did, you know, later

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: in Drew brees career and without Drew Brees and for

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: him to still find success there is just as impressive

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: to me. And so if you're a Broncos fan and

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out how do we get Russell

35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: Wilson back to where he was before the season, there's

36
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: nobody better to help him get to that point than

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Yeah. Why do you think coach Payton is

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: the right fit here for the Broncos. Yeah, it's two fold, Sydney.

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: I think one, the Russell Wilson effect. You've got to

40
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: find a way for Russell Wilson to play at a

41
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: higher level. He admitted that going into the off season,

42
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: and it's he doesn't need to be the top quarterback

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: in the league, but you do need more and um,

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: certainly if you're in the types of games that you

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: want to be in in the postseason, you need somebody

46
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 1: that can can take you on a big time drive

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: and go win the football game. Russell Wilson shown an

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: ability to do that. John Peyton's shown an ability to

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: do that. I think Sean Hayden can build an offense

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: um that highlights Russell Wilson's strength. I mean, we heard

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: him during the season. He was asked, Hey, how would

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: you help Rust get going? And he said, I had

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: to ask for cut ups of the things that Rust

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: does best, and here's what he does inside the red zone,

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: and here's some of the plays that he executes really well.

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: And then I make sure we do those things. And so, uh,

57
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, kind of one a is let's get Russell

58
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: Wilson playing at a Russell Wilson level. But I think

59
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: just for the whole team Sydney, this team needed an

60
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: experience coach, somebody that has done this before, who knows

61
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: how to transform a culture, um, who knows how to

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: do everything from setting the schedule to making sure you're

63
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: ready to go for a road game. Those things I

64
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: think people maybe tend to overlook a little bit. With

65
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: an experienced head coach, you get those things. I think

66
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a coach who comes in here and

67
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: demands accountability, demands a certain standard from these players and

68
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: listen to the honest truth is that there's a lot

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: of guys on this roster of just not won a

70
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: lot of football games, and so to have somebody come

71
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: in that has won a lot of football games and

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: knows how to get a team to that point. He

73
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: took the Saints from three and thirteen to ten and

74
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: six in his first season. He's done this sort of

75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: transformation before. That's wildly important. And I think that's just

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: as much as the Russell Wilson impact. The ability to

77
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: help the entire team is a big reason why Sean

78
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Payton's in Denver for sure. You know, we heard reports

79
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: come out saying that Russell Wilson reached out to Sean

80
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: Paye during the interview process. You know, he talked at

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: the end of season just about how highly he thinks

82
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: of Sean Payton, and you know how great of a

83
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: coach he thinks he is. So you mentioned the relationship

84
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: between him and Sean Payton. How do you think maybe

85
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: they'll work together and what do you expect from russ This? Yeah,

86
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean I think a little early in terms of

87
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: expectations for rus just from like a touchdown to interception

88
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: ratio or your yards are all that thing, all those

89
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: sort of things. But what I would say is that

90
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: I expect an offense that better highlights Russell Wilson's skill set,

91
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: and so then I would expect more success from Russell Wilson.

92
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means he's gonna be a

93
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: pro bowler again in I don't know if that means

94
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a NFL comeback Player of the Year, um,

95
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: but I would expect him to play at a higher

96
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: level in part just because I think another year here

97
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: in Denver, being used to this environment, being comfortable helps.

98
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: But I do think you know, you've heard a lot

99
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: of different people say I think if anyone can design

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: an offense for Russell Wilson is to thrive in it's

101
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: going to be Sean Payton. Obviously, they do have that

102
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: connection from spending time together at various Pro bowls. Um,

103
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: we know how much Russell Wilson admires Drew Brees. I

104
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: don't know that it's going to look exactly like it

105
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: did in New Orleans with Drew Brees. Um, you know,

106
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: throwing more passes than anybody in the league. But I

107
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: do think there are elements of that that will work.

108
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: And I think you're gonna see a Russell Wilson that's

109
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: much closer to what the Broncos expected when they traded

110
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: for him last year, where you know, there was a

111
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: ton of speculation and you know, just a lot of

112
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: unknowns throughout this head coaching search. But I mean ownership

113
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: did exactly what they set out to do. Yeah, you're right.

114
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because when this process started, uh, Greg Penner,

115
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: owner and CEO, said Hey, we're gonna you're we're gonna

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: go through this whole process. We're gonna be very thorough.

117
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: We've got to get this right. The Broncos then interviewed

118
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: eat candidates. They took their time through that process. Obviously

119
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: a lot of different reports out there about who's a

120
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: favorite and who's not a favorite, and know they're they're

121
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: interviewing new candidates, and a lot of stuff out there

122
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: that was just kind of nonsense. But if you kind

123
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: of push all that away and just get to the

124
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: truth of the matter, it's that the ownership group took

125
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: their time, they found a candidate they liked. Yes, there

126
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: was a level of compensation involved that maybe made the

127
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: deal a little trickier to get done. At the end

128
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: of the day, you're essentially trading Bradley chub for Sean

129
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Payton with a with a pick swap there between the

130
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: second and third round. So that seems very palatable to

131
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: me at least. But what they did was they said

132
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: they were going to prioritize experience. They did that. They

133
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: said they were going to find a strong leader who

134
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: is going to find people accountable or excuse me, keep

135
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: people and hold them accountable. They did that. They said

136
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: they were going to find someone who could help this

137
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: team on the offensive side of the ball and have

138
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: an offensive identity. They did that. And so, um, listen,

139
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: when you fire a coach in the you know, towards

140
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the end of the season, and there's a lot of

141
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: time that passes between when that happens and the hire

142
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: is made. I think it's natural that people get antsy

143
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: and they start wondering what's happening. But at the end

144
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: of the day, I think it's clear Sean Payne was

145
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: always near the very top of the Broncos board, if

146
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: not the very top, and they hired him and that's

147
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: what they said they were going to do all along.

148
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: So kudos to ownership for going out and taking a

149
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: big swing. You're willing to give up draft picks, um,

150
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: I think a head coach like Sean Payton, probably a

151
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: future Hall of Famer, is worth more than a late

152
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: round first excume, a late first round pick. Um. You're

153
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: bringing someone in who can transform the culture of his

154
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: former quarterbacks. Said, Hey, he's worth at least four or

155
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: five wins a year. When you talk about that sort

156
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: of impact, you talk about a guy that the Broncos

157
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: knew they had to go get and they made it happen.

158
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. Well, there's so much to look

159
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: forward to in the next coming weeks here, Eric, appreciate

160
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: you taking the time to join me today. Yeah, of course, said, Plus,

161
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to catch up with NFL Networks

162
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: Peter Schreeger to get his thoughts on Sean Payton and

163
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: what helped bring it to Denver. Take a listen, Peter,

164
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: just to start, you know what excites you about this

165
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: higher for the team? Well, I got to know Sean

166
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Payton the man um this year. I work on Fox

167
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: NFL Kick Off with him, and I had never had

168
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: a relationship with him when he was with the Saints.

169
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: And as a reporter. When you say relationship, did I

170
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: cover his games? Yes, but it never extended beyond that.

171
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: He had his guys in the media, He had his

172
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: gals in the media that he dealt with, and I

173
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: just never was one of them. Um. So when I

174
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: got hired for Fox, I was like, all right, let's

175
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: see how this goes. And incomes this warm and brave

176
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: stories and then the smarts like this guy's got a

177
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: different mind. And I talked to all the coaches. I

178
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: talked to the offensive Wizard, like we watch football together

179
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: on Sundays and he sees it differently, and he believes

180
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: you can give him a roster and he will get

181
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 1: the very most out of every single player on that roster,

182
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: and they'll come away as a team that not only

183
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: celebrates wins, but they'll enjoy celebrating the winds is in, like,

184
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna enjoy this thing too, and then on Monday,

185
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna burn the tape and you're gonna start a

186
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: new but take a moment to enjoy the winds um.

187
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of joy, a

188
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: lot of competitiveness, and he has no nonsense when it

189
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: comes to practice and diligence and what it takes. But uh,

190
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: let's just say that Broncos fans, your your owners are

191
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: likely paying a pretty penny to bring in Sean Payne.

192
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: I think he's worth every single one of them. I

193
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: know Broncos country is excited. You know, Peter, we know

194
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: he had a ton of interest from a lot of

195
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: teams that had head coach openings this year. So why

196
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: do you think maybe Denver was the perfect fit for him.

197
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: He was blown away by the meeting. So I know

198
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: they met in in Los Angeles about ten days ago,

199
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: um in Orange County and he came away and he

200
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: was like, this penner. I spoke to him, this great

201
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: this penner is smart, like he is whip smart kind

202
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: of he is a rice is incredible. Uh, He's like,

203
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that George Payton that well.

204
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: I really liked him. And there was a small group

205
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: that he met with, and he said they met for

206
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: a long time. They talked philosophy, they talked culture, and

207
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: I think you think about the quarterback and you think about, Okay,

208
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: well they've got these young players on defense. That stuff

209
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: wasn't as much of a priority as the ownership group,

210
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: and how he loved their enthusiasm to dive in and

211
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: make their first higher be a higher that can set

212
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: the tone for the future of this Broncos franchise. I'll

213
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: tell you one thing about Sean pay and he took

214
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: that city of New Orleans and he dove right in.

215
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: He lived there in New Orleans for sixteen years. He

216
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: bled with those people, and he is a an icon

217
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: in that city. When you look at Denver and you

218
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: look at what football means to Denver and whether it's

219
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: steak houses named after John Elway or steak houses named

220
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: after Mike Shanahan, whether it's just all of the history

221
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: with Mile High, I think Sean Payton is an incredible

222
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: fit because he knows the history of the game and

223
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: he knows just how great that fan base is. Yeah, well, Peter,

224
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: as you know, you know the Broncos are sending New

225
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: Orleans this year's first round pick in a second round

226
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: pick in exchange for Sean Payn in a Saint rounder overall.

227
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Would you just think about the trade? Yeah? I think

228
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: it was a good job by Mickey Loomis and the

229
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Saints to get to get that much from Champagne, because

230
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: if you don't pull the trade off this year, um,

231
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: you might not get the same compensation next year. When

232
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about a guy who's now just one year

233
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: UM left on his contract. I think first round pick

234
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: is what I heard all along, and this is a

235
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: good deal for the Saints, but it's also good deal

236
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. This is an end of the first

237
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: round pick. Um, it's not a top ten pick. And

238
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: I honestly believe that if the Saints were negotiating with

239
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: a team in the NFC, it's particularly the the Panthers

240
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: in the NFC South, they would have been demanding a

241
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: lot more So. I think the Broncos fans, Uh, you

242
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: might be kicking yourself a little bit saying first and

243
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: scond round pick a really good players, but you go

244
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: through the history. I don't think the Patriots um ever

245
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: lost sleep about trading Bill be training for Bill Belichick.

246
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the the Jets ever lost sleep for

247
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: trading for Bill Parcells. You talk about Bruce Arians and

248
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and then the Buccaneers going to wins. Like

249
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: these trades for the coaches, they usually work out pretty well. Well.

250
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: We all saw how revolutionary, you know, Sean Payton's offense

251
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: was with the Saints. You mentioned how he was able

252
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: just to go in there and turn things around. So

253
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: how do you think he'll come in here and you know,

254
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: help the Broncos get out of this playoff droughut that

255
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: they've been in. Yeah, I don't know XS and os

256
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: to the point that maybe the X players or the analysts,

257
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: so the people who cover the team locally, what I

258
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you the first thing right now about what

259
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos offense did. Writer did wrong? It was an

260
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: abomination from afar, Like I just watched it and it

261
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: was like it didn't work. And I think Hackett is

262
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: actually a really smart offensive mind. Uh, your your fans

263
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: right now who are watching this video might say isn't

264
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: this the stupid guy who picked Hackett to win Coach

265
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: of the Year and didn't leake it to the season.

266
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: I was because I knew what Rogers thought of Hackett

267
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: and thought he and Russ were gonna have the same

268
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: kind of connection that maybe McVeigh and Stafford had the

269
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: year before. It didn't work. I do think Sean Payton

270
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: comes in here, and I do think that you get

271
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: a culture and you get an offense that it's gonna

272
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: be humming with creativity. I don't know if it works

273
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. I honestly don't. I'm a fan of

274
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: Russ going back all the way to Seattle days. But

275
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: I will say this, um, Sean Payton showed up to

276
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: New Orleans that franchise hadn't want anything in their history,

277
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: relatively speaking, nothing in the postseason uh and Drew Brees

278
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: was a guy who people had written off because of

279
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury, and they went on to have an amazing,

280
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: amazing run together. I wouldn't rule out Sean Payton and

281
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson having some success to Here's one point that

282
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: I do have that I don't think any of else

283
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: talked about. He coached him in the Pro Bowl a

284
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: few years ago, so they do you have a relationship

285
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: in some way. And Drew Brees lives in San Diego,

286
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: as does Russell Wilson, and those guys are friendly and

287
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: if you put the connection together, I don't think Sean

288
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Payton runs to this job if Breeze doesn't put a

289
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: good word in for Russell Wilson and at least says, hey,

290
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: this is a good dude you co work with. Sure,

291
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: that's a great point. And I know we all heard

292
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson just say how much Paris he had for

293
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, Sean Payton and thinks the world of him.

294
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: So it'll be excited, exciting to see how they work together.

295
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: We have a press conference yet, when is that? I

296
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: want to watch that, Kay, all right, I'll be watching

297
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: you on that one. Yeah. Well, Peter, you know, what

298
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: do you think maybe at the top of Sean Payne's

299
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: to do list, you know, once he gets in here,

300
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: figure out what's up with Ross. Last year, it was

301
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: not the Russell Wilson that the Broncos traded for or

302
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: paid deck salary too, So it's gonna be a reconstruction

303
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: project or just hey, let me, look at this guy. Oh,

304
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: he's okay, we'd have to build something around him. But

305
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and him and the relationship is going to

306
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: be important. I don't know many people who have an

307
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: ability to connect with with people of all different types

308
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: of backgrounds and upbringings and and uh, you know, experiences

309
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: like Shaun does. I mean those players who played from

310
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: New Orleans swear by them, but also the people he's

311
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: touched over the course of his career with Dallas and

312
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: with New York and with Philadelphia. Um, he's a special

313
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: connector of people in a spe little type of guy

314
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to juice. And if Russell Wilson sort

315
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: of was a bit off this past year as far

316
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: as statistics and maybe what version of Russ we got,

317
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: I would like to think he's gonna have to connect

318
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: with Payton for them to get that on track. And

319
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: that will be Shawn's first job in Denver definitely, well

320
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: the last one here for you, you know, once he

321
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: starts to build his staff here. You know, is there

322
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: anyone that Bronco's country should keep their eye out for. Yeah,

323
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: he's definitely not coming in here. Just hey, it's me

324
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: and Sean Payton. I'm gonna start dialing up guys cold

325
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: calling him. I'd be interested about the defensive coordinator job

326
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: right now. It looks like there was a report that

327
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio was going to Miami, and then it was

328
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: like no, he might be going to San Francisco, and

329
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: everyone's like, well, he would never go back to Denver.

330
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: He was the head coach there right. Seawan and Vic

331
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: are very close, so I'd like to see and follow

332
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: that one. I think, ever O Um did a fantastic

333
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: job last year, and I don't think Shawn's opposed to

334
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: saying wait if he's willing to come back to the

335
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, I mean, gosh, that was a tremendous defense

336
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: and he's a young talent. Would love to have him,

337
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: but they don't have much of a relationship or a history.

338
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen's back in New Orleans defensive corner, so he's

339
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: not He's a head coach, so he's not coming as

340
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: the d C. Curious the staff. Seawan builds really bright

341
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: out with a lot of people Um in his rollo

342
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: decks that he's worked with, and I don't think he's

343
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna be poaching from the New Orleans staff as much

344
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: as looking for guys who who he either hasn't met before,

345
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: who have had success or also guys that he's worked

346
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: with and has has loved in the past who might

347
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: not be under contract with the Saints. Right. Well, lots

348
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,680

351
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: on Fox NFL kickoff. I mean, like, is there no one?

352
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: Did anyone locally connect the thoughts he was trying to

353
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: scream from the mountaintops, guys, Mike CLIs. Actually he tweeted

354
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: it in real time. I hope in real time, not

355
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: after the fact, because I'll tell you what that that

356
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,640
