1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to the Central Hell Training Center

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: for another episode of Broncos Now. As always, I'm your

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: host Sidney Jones and coming up on today's episode. Today

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: was a day three of training camp and it was

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: the first day that fans were.

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: Out at practice.

7
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: Plus head coach Sean Payton detailed his thoughts on practice,

8
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson talked about his relationship with coach Payton.

9
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: All that more coming out Day three of training camp.

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Practice is in the books and it was so great

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: to see all of you Broncos Country out there for

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: the first open practice. We heard from quarterback Russell Wilson

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: for the first time since the start of training camp,

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: and he said he liked the work the team put

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: in today.

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: The guys are doing a great job. Just the effort,

17
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: the intensity of practice, the details. Guys are really pushing

18
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 3: every day. I think the receivers are giving a tremendous effort.

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: So it's always inspiring watching those guys in the running backs,

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: watching the d line fly round, and so just the

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: tone is the right tone in the championship tone.

22
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: We also heard from head coach Sean Payton as he

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: discussed how the coaches are evaluating the players right now

24
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: is this team hasn't had a padded practice yet this

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: training camp.

26
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 4: I tell the coaches all the time, let's not, you know,

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 4: be instant evaluators.

28
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 5: Let's be.

29
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 4: Let's be slow to judge. Let's rotate these guys through

30
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: with the first and second third groups. Let's not you know,

31
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: get stuck on where we think guys might be, and

32
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 4: then gradually we'll have a chance. Right now, it's what

33
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 4: are you doing? Do you know how to get lined up?

34
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 4: Do you understand what we're doing so that when you

35
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: do have the pads on and we're in those preseason

36
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 4: games or scrimmages. That because it's hard to evaluate someone

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 4: if they're having trouble learning what to do or if

38
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: they're slow to do it. And so it is a

39
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: little early, but they're certainly bright, willing to learn, they're

40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: working hard. That's kind of where they're at.

41
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payn also talked about the tempo of practice today

42
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: and the emphasis he's putting on that this training camp.

43
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 4: You know, it's in and out, up and down, on

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: and off, in and out, up and down, on and off,

45
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: and there's and and so it can be it can

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: be draining for the receivers that were just down the

47
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 4: field in a four place script. But you you see

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: us talking about tempo all the time. Let's go, let's go,

49
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: you know, And it's a way for the offense to

50
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: pressure the defense a little bit. So we're not talking

51
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 4: about hurry up or no huddle. It's just we want

52
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 4: the tempo to be such that it's that it's really

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: really fast and it's different, and substitutions will begin practicing

54
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: some of that. But but I think we're still we're

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: not there yet. But it becomes easier when guys know

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 4: everything cold. You know, It's it's hard to practice tempo

57
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: when you know, if you don't know what to do.

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 4: You want to buy time, right all of us. You

59
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: want to buy time with a test or something, and so,

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: but we're trying to stress them and so when the

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: game comes, it's a little slower.

62
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: Plus, Russell Wilson spoke on how the offense is learning

63
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's scheme and where they're at in that process.

64
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a great sense of urgency of

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: what we're trying to do and a great sense of

66
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: urgency of understanding, you know, the playbook and everybody all

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: being on the same page. We've done a great job

68
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: of it. I think the coaching staff has done a

69
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: tremendous job of really teaching the details to all of

70
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: us players. You know, I think Coach Web has done

71
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: a great job in the quarterback room of really dialing

72
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 3: up what we're trying to do, and then the thought

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: process behind that, Coach Lombardi and the whole staff just

74
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: has done a great job. I think us players, though,

75
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: we've taken ownership of that detail too. We've had We've

76
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: had a really really focused off season and I think

77
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: it's as I said, it's in one day at a

78
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: time understanding that you know, we're trying to really embrace

79
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: every single day. So in terms of learning the playbook

80
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: and all that, Yeah, we're ahead of schedule.

81
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: And on the other side of the ball, defensive end,

82
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Zach Allen also spoke to the media today and talked

83
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: about the defense is adjusting to defensive coordinator Advance Joseph system.

84
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously we had the off season and you know,

85
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 6: guys were able to, you know, pick it up then,

86
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 6: and Vance is a really good teacher, and all the

87
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 6: coaches have done a great job of you know, kind

88
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 6: of breaking it down, so you know, and I think

89
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 6: guys did a really good job over that, you know,

90
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 6: kind of sixth week break, you know, staying up on

91
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 6: a studying because we've kind of really hit the ground running,

92
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 6: you know, from the mental aspect, you know, we've been

93
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 6: really good kind of assignment wise, So hopefully.

94
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 5: We keep that up.

95
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 6: But yeah, you know, dvances system that works. It's and uh,

96
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 6: you know, luckily it's does a really good job of

97
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 6: implementing and teaching it.

98
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: And that's been at least Both head coach Sean Payon

99
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: and quarterback Russell Wilson addressed their expectations for the postseason.

100
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm not afraid of the expectation we I've talked

101
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: with several people about, you know, being used to contending

102
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 4: for the postseason. You don't take it for granted, but

103
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: that mindset needs to be present here and and so yeah,

104
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 4: I see this as a team that has that ability

105
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: and it's our job to bring out bringing out in them.

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: That's a statement. We all know what we want to do,

107
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 3: you know. We we we put on our cleats and

108
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: put on our pads and train as hard as we

109
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: do every day because we want to be the best

110
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: in the world. We don't want to be second place

111
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: and anything not first as second, you know, or last

112
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: in my opinion. So you know, I think that the

113
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: biggest thing is is that we as a team, we

114
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: have a we have a goal in mind, but all

115
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: that stuff's down the road. I think the best way

116
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: to get there is one moment of time enjoying each day,

117
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: each practice, each moment, battling through, you know, lifting each

118
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 3: other up every day and and and putting our best

119
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: and trying to be the best version of us individually

120
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: and collectively as that we can be. And that's the

121
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: journey we're on right now.

122
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: Now joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio to

123
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: take a deeper look at today's practice is Broncos.

124
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: Lead writer Eric Dalala.

125
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: Eric first open practice of the week of training camp,

126
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: and it was a hot one out there today.

127
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: You're already a little sunbury.

128
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 5: It was right hot.

129
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 7: I got a little color, yeah, But it was nice

130
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 7: to have fans out there, nice to see a little

131
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 7: bit of a faster tempo, longer practice, see some more

132
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 7: seven on seven more team period. It felt like a

133
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 7: training camp practice, felt like we were back to football.

134
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, you know, it was a great first practice day,

135
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: like you said, and I know head coach Sean Payton,

136
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: he said he was pleased with how the teams.

137
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: Approaching it and what they're doing out there. Eric, what

138
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: were you kind.

139
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Of your just biggest takeaways from the day today.

140
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought the secondary really stood out.

141
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously we know that's one of the best

142
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 7: groups on this football team.

143
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 5: Demary Mathis made a big play.

144
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 7: Riley Moss, the young corner there at Ohio, he made

145
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 7: a big play. Probably the highlight of the entire practice

146
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 7: came near the end when a pass intended for Greg

147
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 7: Dolcic was deflected by Justin Simmons and Katen Stern's kind

148
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 7: of dies makes a rolling interception, shows off his athleticism,

149
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 7: his instincts that we know he has, so that was

150
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 7: really good to see. I thought they as a group

151
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 7: were good today, and that was even without Kareem Jackson,

152
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 7: who had a vet day. You know, it's kind of

153
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 7: sticking on the defensive side. I thought Frank Clark had

154
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 7: some nice rushes, Randy Gregory, Jonathan Cooper. You saw all

155
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 7: those guys kind of around the quarter back and in

156
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 7: part you know, we know Michael Gunchimi's practice again for

157
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 7: a second straight day, go to a personal matter, and

158
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 7: then Garrett Bowles did not participate in a lot of practice.

159
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 7: John Payton said, he's kind of part of that group

160
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 7: of guys coming back from an injury that are going

161
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 7: to be monitored, going to be held out of certain things.

162
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 7: So it doesn't sound like any reason for alarm. But

163
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 7: but he wasn't out there, So you are looking at

164
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 7: not your starting tackles that these guys were going against.

165
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 7: But they had good days. They they looked impressive. Put

166
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 7: some pressure on Russell Wilson Zach Allen as a guy

167
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 7: that may have had a sack under game conditions, right,

168
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 7: So that stood out, and you know, I'll talk more

169
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 7: about russ In in just a second, but I just thought

170
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 7: the overall tempo, you know, the intensity was high.

171
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: Normally you're used.

172
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 7: To these practices as before pads, You're not sure how

173
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 7: much you can, how much you're gonna get out of them,

174
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 7: what are you going to learn? I felt like they

175
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 7: these guys worked hard. Like you said, it was hot

176
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 7: out there and they were grinding, and then at the

177
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 7: end of practice, before they came over to do media

178
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 7: and get off the field. They ran sprints and so

179
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 7: you know that kind of shows the Yeah, not for

180
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 7: them probably, but it'll help down the road for sure.

181
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 7: And I think it just shows the commitment to, you know,

182
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 7: to where they want to go this year definitely.

183
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: Eric.

184
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned the tempo of practice on pay and he's

185
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: talked about that a couple times since the start of

186
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: training camp. He's putting a big emphasis on that, specifically

187
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: for the offense.

188
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: Try to put a bit of pressure on the defense here.

189
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: And you know when you mentioned you're going to talk

190
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: about Russell Wilson here, he saw him scrambling a lot.

191
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: He had that really long scramble towards the middle of practice,

192
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, took it seventy yards into the end zone.

193
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: Crowd was cheering.

194
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: You know, it was great to see him out there

195
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: doing his thing, and I know he joked in the

196
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: press conferences afterwards that he was doing it for us,

197
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: doing it for the media.

198
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

199
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 7: Everybody spent a lot of time last year talking about, oh,

200
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 7: should Russ run more, should stay in the pocket, all

201
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 7: that sort of thing. So he's hard that obviously, And

202
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 7: a nice little joke there from Russ. But yeah, I

203
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 7: mean from a tempo standpoint, you obviously want up to

204
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 7: play a little bit faster. I think, get to the

205
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 7: line of scrimmage, have the to audible if you need to,

206
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 7: and then in addition to that, you know, then being

207
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 7: able to get the ball out quickly once the play

208
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 7: does start, because I think sometimes teams get into trouble

209
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 7: when you see them hold the ball. We know in

210
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 7: New Orleans with Drew Brees in particular, this was a

211
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 7: fast offense. They got the ball out quickly. Sean Payne said,

212
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 7: that's the idea here as well. In two thirds of

213
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 7: the time, Sean said, that's where you're going to operate.

214
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 7: You're gonna be in the pocket, You're and me trying

215
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 7: to get rid of the ball quickly, kind of these

216
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 7: timing throws. Then the other third of the time, things

217
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 7: maybe don't go quite how you plan, and you've got

218
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 7: to improvise a little bit. That's when you scramble a

219
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 7: little bit. That's when you step up in the pocket.

220
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 7: And we saw Russell Wilson do that on Friday. Move around,

221
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 7: step up in the pocket, get out of the pocket,

222
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 7: like you said, scramble down the field. And sometimes you

223
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 7: watch that in camp and you're like, Okay, well, you know,

224
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 7: do you want a guy running in seven on seven?

225
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 5: Do you want a guy running in team.

226
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 7: Or should he stay back there and just make whatever

227
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 7: the best throw is that's available. Sean Payton, to his credit,

228
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 7: said no, I want him to practice what he's going

229
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 7: to do in a game. And if you don't practice

230
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 7: stepping out of there and scrambling, how are you going

231
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 7: to know when to do that in a football game?

232
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: So good point.

233
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 7: Like you mentioned, Russ hinted that we were going to

234
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 7: see more of that this year. I think he's at

235
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 7: his best when defenses have to account for both of

236
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 7: those definitely elements.

237
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 5: You know.

238
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 7: I think about the quarterbacks at the Broncos play that

239
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 7: have posted issues all over the years, and Mahomes is

240
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 7: one of those guys that you know, he he may

241
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 7: not run a lot, but there's that threat there where

242
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 7: he can get out of the pocket and you know,

243
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 7: pick up some big yards, key yards. Gosh, I think

244
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 7: did to that that Chiefs game in Denver where Russell

245
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 7: got hurt?

246
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

247
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 7: That unfortunately he took a big hit there, but that

248
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 7: was a great play that he made with his legs.

249
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 7: If the Broncos have more that, I think they'll be successful.

250
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 7: And you saw kind of the first signs of it

251
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 7: today today.

252
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: Definitely.

253
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: You know we've mentioned a lot of people already, Eric,

254
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: but was there anyone that really stood out to you

255
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: at practice today?

256
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: M Yeah.

257
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 7: I mean I'll go back just to to Keyden Sterns

258
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 7: because I think that he's a guy that in the

259
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 7: off season Sean Payton said, you know, there's this cliche

260
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 7: to say that a guy needs to take the next step,

261
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 7: but he did say that confidence in playing well, that's

262
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 7: born from when you make plays and you he called

263
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 7: it demonstrated ability when you see it, and then you

264
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 7: can start to believe in yourself that I know I

265
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 7: can do this, I can do it again exactly. Yeah,

266
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 7: we know how talented Cayden Stearns is and to see

267
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 7: him kind of take advantage of an opportunity with Kareem

268
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 7: Jackson not practicing on Friday, I thought that was impressive.

269
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 7: So yeah, he kind of stands out. I mean, there

270
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 7: wasn't there wasn't a guy that again and again made plays.

271
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 7: Tim Patrick maybe another guy, just because it was good

272
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 7: to see him back out there catching passes after what

273
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 7: he's been through. Yeah, a nice little round of applause

274
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 7: for Jamonte after his first carry. But yeah, I'll give

275
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 7: it to Kayden just because he had a play of

276
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 7: the day there.

277
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: I like it. Another good day of practice.

278
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: We have Back Together Weekends starting tomorrow is on Saturday,

279
