1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back inside the U S Health Training Center for

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: day two of training camp. What's going on Broncos Country.

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Broncos Now.

4
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Sidney Jones and if you missed yesterday's

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: premiere of Broncos Now. This is a new podcast and

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: a video series that will aim to give fans a

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: daily recap of what's going on with the team. So

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: we'll discuss the top storylines and sound bites of the day,

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: along with analysis and injury updates from practice, with episodes

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: airing every evening Monday through Friday. So, with day two

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: of training camp complete, will dive into head coach Nathaniel

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: Hackett's takeaways from the day and discuss the praise that

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: cornerback past Sertan received after practice. Will also have Broncos

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: lead writer Eric Delala on the show a little bit

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: later for some analysis. Will also hear from former Broncos

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: defensive lineman Alfred Williams. Training camp is all about competition

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: and we certainly saw that out there today on Day two.

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: A great day overall for Russell Wilson. He made some

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: great completions and honestly, I thought the offense played really

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: well today. In general, things seem to finally get rolling

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: for them as they continue to master coach Hacketts scheme.

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: But it was Pat Surtian who was the main conversation

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: point today. Both coach Hackett and Garrett Bowls praised him

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: after practice for his incredible pass breakup during a third

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: down period. He's a great person to start off. You know,

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: he's a smart guy, and he's starting to get comfortable. Um.

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's some new things that he's doing out there,

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: and I think he's starting to feel good about those.

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Being with Christian. You know, another years is great, same

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: kind of system with a Drew Um. But I mean,

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: you know he's just and then you add in the range,

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: the speed, the strength, all those things, and I mean

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: that was awesome. That's two big human beings competing four

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: ball and you love to see that. And uh, you

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: know that's what They're gonna make each other better. And

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: that's why I love well. Spains are freak. I mean,

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you all that right now. If

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: you don't know, uh, I mean, turn on the film

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: and speaks for itself. Um, I know when they game

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: plan him, I don't know how you game playing against

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: a guy like that, because he's just gonna eat you alive. Um.

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: So I'm grateful he's on my side so I don't

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: have to see him come off the edge or something

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: like that. But no, I think it's a great competition

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: for our receivers. Um. I think you know, having a

46
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: guy like that, you know, Courtland Tim battling day in

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: the day out, it just makes them better, makes your

48
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: team better, you know Courtland Tim, Um, you know, top

49
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: receivers in the league. Um, same as you stay in

50
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: the top corner in the league, so you know when

51
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: you have Justin and Cream back there. So all those

52
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: four guys just battle the day in the day out. Um.

53
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: It's a healthy competition, um. And it's always good because

54
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: it makes us better. This is Pastor Tan's second training camp,

55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: and he already looks more confident and more comfortable than ever.

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: You know, There's been so much talk this offseason about

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: the offense and their expectations to be one of the

58
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: best in the league, but Pat says the Bronco secondary

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: is already the best. I believe we're to second. Like

60
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: in the day out, you know, just it's talent all

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: across the board. The veteran leadership we have, UM, we

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: just come out here and make plays eas and every day.

63
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: So I believe we were top five second day, even

64
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: a top second during the league. So you know, we're

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: just going to keep ball, proving it and keep more

66
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: showcasing abilities there. Now, let's welcome Bronco's lead writer Eric

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: de Lala to the radio studio as we take a

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: closer look at today's practice. Eric, another day means another

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: Broncos now, appreciate you coming in. Yeah, of course, a

70
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: fun one today. It was a fun one. Yeah, Day

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: two of training camp complete. Did you like what you

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: saw out there? Eric, looked like the offense played pretty well. Yeah.

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: I thought things were a little bit crisper today, a

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: little bit more efficient. You didn't see the ball hit

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: the ground very much from the Broncos offense, so that

76
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: was nice. Russell Wilson looked like he was in control

77
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. I think maybe there was

78
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: one pre snap penalty from a second or third team unit.

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: Didn't see one from the first team offense. That's always

80
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: good early in training camp you kind of expect some

81
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: of those errors. Didn't see those today and then he

82
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: got the ball out fast. I mean, if there's a

83
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: knock on Russell Wilson, it's at some times he can

84
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: hold onto the ball a little bit. You didn't see

85
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: that on Thursday. Got the ball out quick, had some

86
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: short passes to Courtland Sutton to Tim Patrick, obviously, found

87
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy for a nice play. They looked in control

88
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: for most of practice. Defense fought back a little bit

89
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: at the end. I did find it interesting, I asked

90
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hacket after practice, is that what you imagine when

91
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: you think of this offense? Is that what you wanted

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: to look like? I said, it's just practice. We still

93
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. We want both sides

94
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: to keep getting better. But it looks pretty good to

95
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: me today, right. Like you mentioned, Defense came back a

96
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: little bit at the end of practice. Had some really

97
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: great plays there, especially one from past Sortan we heard

98
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: earlier in the show from Coach Hackett and Garrett Bowls,

99
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: and Garrett Bowls's words, he said, Passertan can eat anyone alive.

100
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: His words, not mine. We kind of saw that from

101
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Pad today a little bit. I mean he had an

102
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: incredible pass break up. I mean he jumped up and

103
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: just hit the ball right out of Courtland's hands. What

104
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: did you like about that play? Yeah, well, it's important

105
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: for fans to kind of the context, which is Coach

106
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: Hacketts talked about the competitive periods that they'll do. This

107
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: was one of them. It was a third down play,

108
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: and so if the Broncos defense gets to stop, they

109
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: win the period. If the offense gets the first time,

110
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: obviously they win the period. And so this was a

111
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: critical pay play from that standpoint, Neither side wants to

112
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: lose that. Courtland Sutton has the ball in his hands.

113
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: It was a great throw from Russell Wilson kind of

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: dropped it right in the bucket for Courtland to go

115
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: up and get and pat. At first, he tried to

116
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: hit it with his left hand and he wasn't able

117
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: to knock it free, and then while he was still

118
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: in the air, made the adjustment and knocked it out

119
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: with his right hand. He talked about, you know, you

120
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: gotta stick with the play. You never know what's going

121
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: to happen. But to me, that's that's about athleticism. How

122
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: difficult must it be to you know, mid air decide Okay,

123
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: well I've I've gone up with the intention of hitting

124
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: with my left. Now I've got to hit it with

125
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: my right. It's just kind of beyond comprehension. Yeah, you know,

126
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: we mentioned passer Tan. You also mentioned Jerry Judy, Tim Patrick.

127
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: But was there anyone kind of under the radar today

128
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: that you thought I had a really good day or

129
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: someone that stood out to you. Yeah, I'll I'll give

130
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: you an undrafted guy said, obviously, there's this history in

131
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: Denver of undrafted rookies making the fifty three man roster.

132
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: Last year is Andre mins So saying Bassie the year

133
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: before that goes on and on. Rod Smith a great

134
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent, Chris Harris Jr. Um Jakwon McMillian. He's

135
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: a guy that you want to keep an eye on.

136
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: I think a slot cornerback from E c U. He

137
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: had a couple of nice plays on Thursday. He had

138
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: a pass break up against Montreal Washington and then later

139
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: in practice he was able to stay stride for stride

140
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: with a receiver um didn't allow completion. He's a guy

141
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: that maybe you keep an eye on. Um. Obviously, you've

142
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: got the top four guys if you count Michael Ogimudia

143
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: behind a Pat Sir Tan, Ronald Darby, Kawan Williams, and

144
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: then you you assumed Davarri Mathis is going to make

145
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: it as a fourth round pick rookie this year, and

146
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: then there's a bunch of guys kind of fighting for

147
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: that sixth cornerback spot. Jaquan is a guy that maybe

148
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: could could earn that. I hoped we see another undrafted

149
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: guy make the team. But I want to talk a

150
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: little bit more in depth about Jerry Judy and Austin Simmons.

151
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: I really loved what Coach Hackett said today about Jerry.

152
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: He said, Jerry's attacked camp so far. And I know

153
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: it's only day two, so we haven't seen a ton

154
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: from him, but he said he's been working harder and

155
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: he even coaches Hackett a little bit. It says, he

156
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: calls him out, which I love. You feel like we've

157
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: seen a different Jerry this camp so far. Yeah, I mean,

158
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: like Coach Hackett said, through two days is a little

159
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: soon to know that for sure, but I do think

160
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: just this offense, it opens up what Jerry Judy can do.

161
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: No fans got tired last year of kind of the

162
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: jet sweep motion with Jerry Judy that the ball never

163
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: went to Jerry and so it just got a little

164
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: bit stale. You're not going to see that in this offense.

165
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: They're going to use him in a lot of different ways.

166
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett talked about how Jerry Judy can do a

167
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: lot of different things in this offense. So I wonder

168
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: if that's energizing for him, if he thinks, hey, because

169
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: this offense suits me, well, I'm gonna put in that

170
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: extrafort I'm putting that extra work. So far, I think

171
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: we're seeing that from Jerry Judy. And then Justin Simmons.

172
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean he had another beautiful a pass breakup. I

173
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: mean Russell Wilson, he launched one downfield to Jerry and

174
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Justin was in perfect position. We've seen that time and

175
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: time again from Justin, but it was pretty special today,

176
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: wasn't it. Justin's range I think is still a little

177
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: bit underestimated, because Nathaniel Hackett said the Broncos actually liked

178
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: the look they got on this play because Harry Judy

179
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: was stride for stride with his defender. Um. Nathaniel Hackett said, hey,

180
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: we were trying to pick on somebody else a little bit,

181
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: and then boom the balls in the air. We know

182
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: how high Russell Wilson throws the ball, how it hangs

183
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: up there. It's a beautiful deep ball. But it gave

184
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons time to come over from the other side

185
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: of the field and get there just in time to

186
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: knock it away. And if that were a real game.

187
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: To Sydney, I think there's a chance Justin intercepts that

188
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: because he's probably a little less afraid of running into

189
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: the opposing receiver, running into his teammate, you're going to

190
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: make the play in a game situation. So to me,

191
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: there's a chance he picks that off. And it just

192
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: shows you it's easy to forget when you're around him

193
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: day after day that Justin Simmons is perhaps the best

194
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: safety in the NFL. Today was a good reminder of that.

195
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: Definitely was you know, like you mentioned, it's only day two,

196
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: but we've seen a lot of first team on first

197
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: team during practice the past couple of days. And I know, Eric,

198
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: you talked to coach Hackett a little bit about it

199
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: after practice. Why do you think maybe this is so beneficial? Yeah,

200
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: it stood out to me, Sydney because you don't always

201
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: see that I mean in previous years during training camps,

202
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: sometimes you'll see the ones go against the threes, they'll

203
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: go against the twos. I don't know if it's because

204
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: you want to give your guys a scout team look,

205
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: or you just want to build up confidence. Nathaniel Hackett

206
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: is not about that. He wants good on good. As

207
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: he put it, you want to go against you know,

208
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: you want Cortland Sutton to go against Pat Surtan, you

209
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: want Javonte Williams to have to find holes against the

210
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: starting defensive line and starting linebackers. That's what's gonna make

211
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: you better. Um. That's what Nathaniel Hackett pointed out. And

212
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I think that there is a benefit to doing that

213
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: all the time, because my follow up him was, well

214
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: does that give you a more honest evaluation, because if

215
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: you're doing it against reserve players or you're doing it

216
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: against third team players, it can get a little bit warped.

217
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: I think in terms of well is this going to

218
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: work when we go play Seattle in Week one when

219
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: you're going against this Broncos defense every day, or if

220
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: you're you know, the other side of the ball, if

221
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: you're going against Russell Wilson, in the offense. You're gonna

222
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: have a pretty good idea of how you stack up.

223
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: I think that can only help you when you get

224
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: to the season. Well, another great practice in the books, Eric,

225
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: appreciate your analysis and insight as always. Of course, I'll

226
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. We also talked to several players after

227
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: practice today as they were walking off the field in

228
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: a major conversation between all of them has been these

229
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: guardian caps that the NFL has mandated them to where

230
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: the NFL has mandated offensive lineman, defensive linemen, linebackers, and

231
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: tight ends to wear them during practices throughout the first

232
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: month of training camp and the preseason. I kind of

233
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: feel like a bubble head, man. I feel like your

234
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: adds like, well, it gives me negative five speed on

235
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: Madden to my speed, you know. So that's why telling

236
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: some of the guys. But yeah, I mean it's not

237
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: that heavy honestly, you know. So just love ugly, you

238
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: know if you will, Yes, yeah, that's we have a

239
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: joke in old line alarn from uh we won't be

240
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: getting any good pictures in Charinity Caunel for these zones.

241
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: So what you got to deal with it? Now, it's

242
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: time to take a look at today's injury update. No

243
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: new injuries to report today, but here's a look at

244
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: yesterday's in case you missed it. Billy Turner, Randy Gregory,

245
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: kJ Hamler, and Tom Compton are on the pu P

246
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: list that end. Greg Dolsach worked out on a side

247
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: field again today, and undrafted Rickie Christopher Allen is also

248
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: on the non football injury list. Last, but not least,

249
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: I caught up with former Broncos defensive lineman Alfred Williams

250
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: and asked his thoughts on this year's team is what

251
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: we should be looking at and a bad year is

252
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: maybe twelve and five, So I think it's a huge

253
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: change from what we had around here to what we

254
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: have now. I think it's it's what you want. If

255
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: you're a demon Bronco alumni fan or somebody just just

256
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: new to football and you want to find a team,

257
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: this is a good time to be a Bronco fan.

258
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: I know you've been around this city. So what energy

259
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: do you think that Russell Wilson is right here? Oh

260
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: it's been amazing. I mean he's he's brought this this

261
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: swag and this this type of mentality that um, we're

262
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: gonna win. You can win, and you can be great,

263
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: and it's inspirational to not just the team, but I

264
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: think that kind of positivity works for the coaches, and

265
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: I think the fan base really picks up on it

266
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: as well. And I think for the first time, we

267
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: finally have a guy, you know, first time in a

268
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: long time, we have a guy that we can actually

269
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: pour for. And I'm I pulled up to the practice

270
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: today and for the first time in a while, the

271
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: media a lot was full. I mean, that hasn't happened

272
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: around here since Peyton was here. So that's fantastic. I'm happy.

273
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: And then you got the Bradley Chub Brandy Gregory duo.

274
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: What do you like about their potential? Well, I think

275
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: when you look at Randy Gregory, um, you know, he's

276
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: been highly productive when he's had when he's been healthy.

277
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: And now he's starting the season off on the publicist

278
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: that's you know, and I've done that and I know

279
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: it takes a couple of weeks come back, you know,

280
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: maybe around week three or four we'll see what he

281
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: really has as a football player. But Bradley Chubb had

282
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: the first successful season off season where he didn't have surgery,

283
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: so I want to see what he looks like and

284
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: see if he can be a little more slippery as

285
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: he gets, you know, nine and nights in the right

286
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: old age of of twenty six or twenty seven, you know,

287
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: we'll see what he has and should This should be

288
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: his best year of his NFL career. It looks like

289
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: that's all the time we have for today's episode. Thanks
