Can you imagine if I told you that the success of the Broncos this season rests solely on the shoulders of Vance Joseph? I can already hear the laughter and skepticism. But hear me out. With a quarterback lineup that includes the likes of Sparky Stidham, Zach Wilson, or a rookie, the offense is bound to be as unpredictable as Sean Payton's mood swings during press conferences. And let's not forget the pressure on rookie Bo Nix to lead the team, which is sure to result in some nail-biting moments.
But Payton isn't worried. In fact, he's quite pleased with how the team has started training camp. "I loved how we began taking the ball away," he said, referring to the defense's performance. "It helped us win games last year and it's a statistic that can often mask weaknesses."
However, he does acknowledge that there are areas that need improvement, such as their run defense and running game. But with players like Brandon Jones joining the team, there is a sense of optimism and growth within the team. Jones himself recognizes the progress the team has made, stating that they are "definitely headed in the right direction."
But let's not forget the elephant in the room: Vance Joseph. In his second year as defensive coordinator, there were some notable struggles last season, including giving up 25 points or more in seven of their 17 games. However, Payton believes that with the right support and talent, Joseph can lead the defense to success.
And speaking of talent, the Broncos have some promising players on their roster, but they also lost some key players, such as safety Justin Simmons and inside linebacker Josey Jewell. While their replacements may not have the same level of experience, Payton is confident in their abilities and believes that the team can still perform at a high level.
But let's not get too ahead of ourselves. The Broncos are facing a tough schedule this season, with only a few "easier" games on the horizon. And with Joseph's track record of improving defenses in his second year, there is hope that the Broncos can rise to the challenge. After all, rookies tend to have a rough start when their defense is struggling, but once the defense improves, they tend to find their footing.
So, buckle up and get ready for an exciting season of Broncos football. And let's not forget the importance of the basics: running the ball, stopping the run, and solid defense. If the team can excel in these areas, they have a good chance of finding success. And with Payton's faith in Joseph and his familiarity with the team, there is a sense of camaraderie and confidence that could be the key to their success. So, let's sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. After all, winning isn't always flashy or exciting, sometimes it's just about getting the job done. And that's what the Broncos are focused on this season.
