00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: What's up, Broncos Country. Welcome back inside the Centurer Health

Speaker 1: Training Center for another episode of Broncos Now. As always,

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Sidney Jones. And coming up on today's episode,

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos held their second padded practice. We'll look at

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: some of the top highlights from today, and we'll hear

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: from head coach Sean Payon in several players all that

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: more coming up. Today marked day six of training camp.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: The Broncos had another padded practice, their second of training

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: camp so far, and we heard from head coach Sean

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Payton again today, and you discussed Russell Wilson in the

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: work that he's put in the first week of camp.

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: Obviously, he's moving around well, his weights down, he's in

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: real good shape. He's working really hard. You know, there

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: are a lot of nuances still we're working through. You know,

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: there's some good things in the running game today. Each day,

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: you know, you kind of look at the film and

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: you start again with the corrections. But I've been pleased

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 2: with his progress and where he's at really dating back

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 2: to the off season and into where we are now

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: into our first full week.

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: Now on the other side of the ball, Sean Payton

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: talked about the secondary and what his impressions are of

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: that group.

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: Listen, you know, when I watch them, the first thing

25
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: you see is they have ball skills. They're smart, and

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: their experience. You see the communication, you know, so it's

27
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 2: hard to find completions in some.

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 3: Of these drills.

29
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: They do a really good job of it, and they

30
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 2: force you and some of their seven and a half

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: man fronts to be patient and run the ball. Yeah,

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: I mean it's look, they're a challenge safety.

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Cream Jackson added to that by discussing the work the

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: secondary is put in so far at this camp, it's all.

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 4: About getting our work in execute, you know, the calls,

36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: and obviously learning each other, you know, learning to trust

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 4: each other. I mean, obviously we got a lot of

38
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: experience playing together. A large majority of us to get

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: it was together last year, so we got some new faces.

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: But other than that, it's just all about us executing

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: and learning to trust each other.

42
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: With this being Cream Jackson's fourt he the training camp

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: in the league, he discussed how he approaches it at

44
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: this point in his career.

45
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: I come in and I go about my work the

46
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 4: same way. You know, I get my work done. I

47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 4: execute whatever calls him in and at the end of

48
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: the day, I can't control the situation or the position

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 4: that I'm in. I can only control what I do

50
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 4: about it. And you know that's come in and be

51
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 4: the shame guy. You know, at the end of the day,

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 4: as long as I'm coming in and doing what I'm

53
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: supposed to do, I just had to let the chips

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: forwarded me.

55
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: Plus.

56
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: Tackle Garrett Bowles also spoke to the media and he

57
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: was asked why camp feels so different this year.

58
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 5: A coach that's that has our back, a coach that

59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 5: loves us, a coach that once what's best for each

60
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: and every single person, understands that everybody's different and everybody

61
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 5: has different aspects of the game. You know, people fast, big, strong,

62
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 5: and then he takes everybody, all we loving guys on

63
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 5: the offense and he puts us some positions to win.

64
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 5: You know, Coach Payton's been doing it for so many years.

65
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: You know, you've seen his record, You've seen what he does,

66
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 5: and so it's just it's just a great time to

67
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: be a Bronco to have a coach that loves and

68
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 5: cares for each and every person, but.

69
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: Not Leeve's head coach Champagne gave an update on wide

70
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: receiver Tim Patrick.

71
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: Yes, he's got an achilles tear. Spoke to him last night.

72
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: You know, of course he's disappointed. You know, my understanding

73
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: was a year ago, almost to the day. I think

74
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: the hard thing, and I said it yesterday, is for

75
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: a player that's spent most of his off season rehabbing,

76
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden it hit another roadblock. He

77
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: sounded better last night. He's tough minded, he's.

78
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: A real good leader.

79
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: And uh, the good news is it's it's a clean

80
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: injury and that was a you know, better than likely

81
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: one recovery. It's it's pretty clean relative the type of

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: surgery's going to have.

83
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: Now.

84
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Joining me here inside the Broncos podcast Studio per Usual

85
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: is Broncos lead writer Eric Delala. Eric, another good day

86
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: of practice today, second padded practice of training camp. I

87
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: want to start with the offense today, Eric, we're just

88
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: some of the biggest high lights, top highlights of the day.

89
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, there was a big pass from Ben Denucci

90
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 6: to Montreal Washington down the field, longest play of training camp,

91
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 6: so that that stood out obviously. And then late in practice,

92
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson found Courtland Sutton down the sideline. Pat Sertan

93
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 6: and Justin Simmons were right there, but Corland went up

94
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 6: and made a nice play.

95
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 7: Those were probably the highlights.

96
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: You know.

97
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 6: Sean Payton mentioned there were some good things that the

98
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 6: team did in the run game. You know, at a

99
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 6: variety of moments. There are times when that offensive line

100
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 6: looked good from a pass protection standpoint, but listen it,

101
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 6: you know, it goes both ways. The defense had its

102
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 6: share of moments too, and this is definitely an offense

103
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 6: still figuring it out. Some third down stuff on this

104
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 6: what What's today said Tuesday on this Tuesday gonna move

105
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 6: into the red zone soon starting tomorrow, yep, exactly. But yeah,

106
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 6: you know, I thought the offense is making strides. We

107
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 6: heard Sean Payton talk out Russell Wilson and say that

108
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 6: he likes where he is. I mean, it could always

109
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 6: be better, and I think you're still seeing the d

110
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 6: kind of quote unquote win these days. But some moments

111
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 6: to be encouraged by from an offensive standpoint.

112
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: Grig Dulcach had that nice one handed catch, definitely beautiful,

113
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: and coach also talked about the secondary eric. You know,

114
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: he was asked about it in his press conference and

115
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: he said he's been pretty impressed with them in that group.

116
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've been all over the place, especially Justin, So yeah,

117
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 6: he stood out again today. I think back to back

118
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 6: days now with an interception, three interceptions over the course

119
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 6: of training camp for Justin. He's been active, even by

120
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 6: his standards. You know, we're used to Justin flying around

121
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 6: out there making plays, but it seems like he's found

122
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 6: even another gear and I'll be interested to see if

123
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 6: that translates to the regular season. Is there something about

124
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 6: this Vance Joseph defense that really fits Justin Simmons and

125
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 6: gives him a chance at this stage in his career

126
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 6: to make plays. Today's might have been the best of

127
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 6: the bunch. He read her out the whole way, jumped

128
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 6: it probably would have been a pick six in a game,

129
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 6: and I believe Justin has just one of those in

130
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 6: his career, so I'm sure he'd love to add to

131
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 6: that tally. He's making plays out there. The rest of

132
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 6: the secondary looks good as well. It's a good group

133
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 6: between Patzer Tanamari Mathis. You know, Riley Moss wasn't out

134
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 6: there today, but he's obviously taking steps to Kawan McMillan,

135
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 6: he's been good, So a lot of a lot of

136
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 6: good corners and then of course at safety, we know

137
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 6: the talent that's there, so youah encouraged by that group. Again,

138
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 6: I think Krane Jackson said was asked, Hey, do you

139
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 6: guys as a secondary need to take it easy on

140
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 6: the offense.

141
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 7: He said, no, we're just we're getting our work in.

142
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, wh Eric, we saw some nine on seven drolls

143
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: as well today and you know head coach Sean pay

144
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: and he kind of talked about that after practice and

145
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: said that that's something he's really comfortable with and is

146
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: done for many many years in training camp.

147
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a good opportunity for these guys. So

148
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 6: it was run game based because you had the wide

149
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 6: receivers and corners you know, working on one on ones

150
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 6: on the other field, and the quarterbacks were kind of rotating.

151
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 7: Looked like the safeties kind of stayed with.

152
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 6: The run game group. And there's the nine on seven

153
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 6: but you know, this was a scenario where offensive line

154
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 6: against defensive line, full back against linebacker, and just had

155
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 6: a chance to go and see.

156
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 7: Who wanted him more.

157
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 6: And I thought the first team defense had a nice

158
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 6: nice period there. Maybe the reserve offensive line got the

159
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 6: better of the reserve defense, but certainly that's kind of

160
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 6: where you see some of the physicality start to come out.

161
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 6: And yeah, it'll be interesting to see if they keep

162
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 6: doing that. How much of it do they do regular

163
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 6: seven on seven at times with a passing tree. It

164
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 6: does seem like while the general structure of practice is

165
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 6: the same each day, there's these little changes here and there,

166
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 6: which one lets you get different types of work in.

167
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 6: But I'm sure if you're a player, also keeps it

168
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 6: fresh because you're not doing the same thing day after

169
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 6: day after day. So I enjoyed watching those periods, sat

170
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 6: there and and you know, watched who got the best

171
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 6: of who. That's kind of the the mono Imano. It's

172
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 6: not quite an Oklahoma drill said, but it's about as

173
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 6: close as we're going to get.

174
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: That's not something we've seen here in the past several years.

175
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 6: Right, No, not to that extent in terms of the

176
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 6: level of physicality. And there are a couple of plays

177
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 6: later where guys took you know, other plays to the ground.

178
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 6: It wasn't extensive or anything like that, but the physicality

179
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: is definitely at a much higher level than it's been.

180
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, we love to see it.

181
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: Eric position battle that you know fans might not be

182
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: aware of is between kickers Elliott Frye and Brent Maher.

183
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: What have you seen from them? And I know we

184
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: talked to them after practice today kind of what were

185
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: your takeaways from those scrums?

186
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it seems like it's been pretty even so far.

187
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 6: And yeah, even if you're aware of the battle, which

188
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 6: I'm sure that some people are, you're you know, it's

189
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 6: not something you're monitoring every day necessarily. It's kind of

190
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 6: a niche position battle, if you will.

191
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 8: One.

192
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 6: It's between these two guys, but as Sean Payton has

193
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 6: made it clear whenever he's been asked about it, it's

194
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 6: also all the other kickers who are available out there,

195
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 6: because in New Orleans there is a kicking competition, went

196
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 6: through the whole training camp preseason, then they signed somebody

197
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 6: off the street. So just because these two guys are

198
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 6: competing right now, they've got to be aware that they're

199
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 6: competing against everybody. You've got a guy and Elliott Frye

200
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 6: who's kind of bounced around a couple of different places.

201
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 6: He's looking for that chance to become the full time guy.

202
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 6: Like his attitude. He's he kind of said, hey, I'm

203
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 6: aware of this competition, and you know, we're not necessarily

204
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 6: helping each other too much. It's not necessarily from a

205
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 6: competitive standpoint, but more he's got his routine, Brett's got

206
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 6: his routine, and they're going to kind of stay and

207
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 6: worry about those things themselves. And he acknowledged that, hey,

208
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 6: I know when he makes a kick or missus a kick,

209
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 6: and I'm sure he knows what I make or miss

210
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 6: a kick. So Elliott Frye is a guy that's been

211
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 6: here obviously since Brandon McManus was let go. Maher comes

212
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 6: in a little bit later, you know, just at the

213
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 6: start of training camp, and he's a guy said that

214
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 6: I think is maybe a little bit more of the

215
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 6: intriguing case, just because he was really good last year

216
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 6: and I believe he holds the record for the most

217
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 6: career sixty plus yard field goals, So he's got a

218
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 6: leg last year top ten in field goal percentage, just

219
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 6: a good kicker, and a few of those misses came

220
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 6: from like fifty nine yards, so he has the ability

221
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 6: to kick from that far. They're not afraid to to

222
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 6: let him try that, but that kind of hurt his

223
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: percentage a little bit. So if it were just that,

224
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 6: you'd be like, Wow, this guy's really good. He's probably

225
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 6: the clear cut favorite. But then there's the postseason game

226
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 6: last year where he missed I think four extra points

227
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 6: in a row, and then I believe there's another one

228
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 6: the next week, and he you know, to his credit,

229
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 6: when he was asked about it, it'd be easy, I think,

230
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 6: to just say I've moved past that, blah blah blah,

231
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 6: I want to talk about it. He said it was mental,

232
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 6: it was physical and technique based. He said he spent

233
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 6: a lot of his off season working on how to

234
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 6: correct those issues and make sure it doesn't happen again.

235
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 6: Kind of talked about how you know, when you're a kicker,

236
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 6: you developed these scars, and this is one of those

237
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 6: scars that he you know, you want to use it

238
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 6: to help push you forward as opposed to being something

239
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 6: that's a detriment long term. But I respected how he

240
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 6: talked about that and how in run away from it,

241
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 6: and he said, yeah, I did use that to fuel

242
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 6: me this offseason. And so it'll be interesting to see

243
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 6: how these guys, you know, compete over the course of

244
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 6: training camp in the preseason, it's definitely the more proven guy.

245
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 6: But when it's a kicking competition, as Elliott Fry said,

246
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 6: it's pretty easy to see who's winning and who's losing.

247
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 6: So you know, no guarantees in terms of who's going

248
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 6: to be that guy.

249
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: Will be on the lookout for that. Eric Laston not least.

250
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: Was there anyone we haven't talked about yet or over

251
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: the course of this past week that's kind of stood

252
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: out to you at camp?

253
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, we didn't talk about Zach Allen today and he

254
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 6: was all over the place, whether it's batting a pass down,

255
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 6: whether it's breaking through for a potential sack. I mean,

256
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 6: this guy's motor is relentless. And we talked a lot

257
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 6: when he was signed to think about his run stopping

258
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: ability and how that would be a big deal. But

259
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 6: he's shown the ability so far to get into the

260
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 6: backfield on passing plays. I think five and a half

261
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 6: sacks last year a career high. I'm an ascending player,

262
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 6: said as we know, but he seems poised for a breakout.

263
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 6: I mean, this is a guy that is playing really well,

264
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 6: has a great attitude in terms of a guy you

265
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 6: want up there getting after the quarterback, that effort, that intensity,

266
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 6: and he was a problem for the offensive line on Tuesday.

267
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 6: So I enjoyed watching him and we'll keep my eye

268
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 6: on him moving forward.

269
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: We love to see it. Eric, appreciate you joining the

270
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: show today and for your thoughts.

271
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 7: You got it said, I'll see tomorrow.

272
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: Plus, both kicker Brett Maher and kicker Elliott Fry discuss

273
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: their competition and how they're approaching it.

274
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 8: Glad to be here. I'm really excited for the opportunity. Obviously,

275
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 8: I know Coach Payton just a little bit, and I've

276
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 8: ran in with Coach Katwika in and out of my career,

277
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 8: so I'm happy to be back with them, and then

278
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 8: getting to know Coach west Off and Coach Banjo also

279
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 8: and the rest of the guys in the organization.

280
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: I think we're both kicking really good right now, and

281
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: you know, taking a day by day. I think, you know,

282
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: it's a long competition. You know, we're only in the

283
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: week one, so I think we're both just putting our

284
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: head down and trying to make kicks.

285
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: Well, then I'll do it. For today's episode of Bronco

286
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: is now Broncos Country Thanks so much for tuning in.

287
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: Made you right back here on the Broncos podcast network

288
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: and YouTube tomorrow as the team has another padded practice.

289
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 7: See you all then
