Broncos Briefs: Vic Fangio Looking Forward to “Feedback” First Preseason Game Will Provide by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post July 31, 2019 Broncos Briefs: Vic Fangio looking forward to “feedback” first preseason game will provide By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post July 31, 2019 Broncos coach Vic Fangio’s goal for Thursday’s Pro Football Hall of Fame game against the Atlanta Falcons: See as many young players as possible. “I just really want to see all of them, to be honest with you,” Fangio said after Tuesday’s abbreviated practice. “This was Practice (No.) 11 so it’s going to be nice to go out there and go against somebody else, play live football and see where these young guys are at. “I don’t think we can make any final conclusions off of one game, but it’s great feedback for us.” To get the best take, Fangio plans on challenging his players with his defensive calls and wants offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello to do the same. On defense, Fangio said: “If I’m pretty confident they might be throwing it, instead of giving a corner some help, I’ll see if he can cover his guy. Or I’ll play a light box even though we think they may be running it to see if we can handle it.” On offense, Fangio said: “Let’s see who can block a good pass rusher without chipping. And even though they have the box loaded, let’s see if you can run the ball in there.” Fangio said the coaches will have a pecking order of who plays when and how much. “Some of it is by feel and the way the game is going,” he said. “I always tell the coaches, ‘Count on 65 plays.’ If one side is doing really well, you might have only 50 and the other side 80. You have to adjust as you go. If you’re on the side that gets only 50, some guys will get cheated.” Fangio was asked if winning the game is important. “As we stand here today, it’s not that important,” he said. “Invariably, when we get on that sideline Thursday, it’s like playing a game of horse in the backyard — you still want to win. We want to win, but we know there are bigger fish to fry in the game, meaning we need to get evaluations of these guys to help us pick the best 53 for the team.” Three first-team linemen to start. Fangio said center Connor McGovern, left guard Dalton Risner and left tackle Garett Bolles will start against Atlanta and “play a few plays.” Risner, a rookie second-round pick, will be making his NFL debut. “I think it’s good (for Risner),” Fangio said. “Dalton is the kind of guy that likes to play and it will be good to get his feet wet.” Fangio and Scangarello had praise for Bolles’ play in camp. “So far, he’s had a great camp,” Fangio said. “If we were to play (Tuesday) against Oakland (instead of Sept. 9), he would be the starter hands-down, unanimous decision.” Said Scangarello: “He’s a really good scheme fit. His athleticism helps in the run game. … I think he’s playing very, very well.” It is expected that Don Barclay (right guard) and Elijah Wilkinson (right tackle) will start in place of Ron Leary and Ja’Wuan James, respectively. Pads come off. After seven consecutive days in full pads, the Broncos went through a lighter (no hitting) and shorter (less than two hours) practice. Not participating were inside linebacker Todd Davis (calf, 10th consecutive missed practice), receivers River Cracraft (oblique, ninth) and DaeSean Hamilton (hamstring, fifth), tight ends Jake Butt (knee, eighth) and Bug Howard (ankle, fourth), cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot), and offensive linemen Jake Rodgers (calf, fourth) and Leary (day off). Fangio ruled all of those players out for Thursday. James (lower leg), who did some individual work Tuesday, will also be held out. Preseason experimentation. Scangarello will be in the coaches’ box to call the offensive plays. Fangio (defensive play-caller) will, of course, be on the field and so will defensive coordinator Ed Donatell. Field level will be a new view for Fangio. He won’t stand along the line of scrimmage, instead choosing to be well behind or ahead of the football. “It’s good (to) experiment with where’s the best place for me to stand when we’re on defense,” he said. “I’ll try and get an end zone view so I have somewhat of a wider view.” Fangio will also need to design a hand-held play-call sheet as opposed to the big card he had in front of him in the coaches box. “I may have to go to a double-sided (sheet),” he said. “It’s a work in progress.” Briefly. The Broncos will have a light practice Wednesday before flying to Ohio and touring the Pro Football Hall of Fame. … The Broncos’ next open practice is Sunday at 9:15 a.m. … Scangarello on the offensive progress: “I think offensively, we’re coming together. It’s not there yet by far. But I feel confident and (quarterback) Joe (Flacco) has settled in a little bit.” Drew Lock reacts to third-string challenge in Hall of Fame game: “I’m confident in what I can do” By Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post July 31, 2019 Drew Lock has not lost confidence he will someday become the Broncos’ starting quarterback. But his climb up the depth chart is proving to be initially steep. The evidence was clear again Tuesday during one specific 11-on-11 period in helmets and shorts at UCHealth Training Center. Lock, listed as third-string on the first preseason depth chart, quarterbacked Denver’s scout team against the starting defense. It’s not the training camp role one might expect of a second-round rookie only two days before his first NFL preseason game. Then Lock tossed an interception to cornerback Chris Harris on a deep ball down the sideline. “That was the first time for me (running scout team),” Lock told reporters after practice. “Again, it was Chris Harris; I was still pretty (mad) at myself regardless of what happened. I’ll go back and look at everything that happened. I try to hold myself to a really high standard.” The Broncos will start quarterback Kevin Hogan, a fourth-year journeyman backup, on Thursday against the Falcons for the Pro Football Hall of Fame game instead of Lock, the planned future at the position selected No. 42 overall in the 2019 NFL draft. Quarterback Joe Flacco and most starters will not play. The Hogan-over-Lock decision was predictable considering Hogan’s majority share of second-team snaps in training camp practices and Lock’s ongoing transition from a spread offense at Missouri to a pro-style system in Denver. He has flashed the tools of an elite passer but without the consistency. Lock developed a gunslinger reputation in college by stretching the field vertically with 12,193 career passing yards. Just don’t expect the exact same mentality in his NFL debut off the bench. Lock described his top priority against the Falcons as “managing the game.” “It’s obviously not the 1s that are going to go out and play this game,” Lock said. “There will be a lot of young guys, a lot of draft picks, a lot of couple-year guys — the juices will be flowing, people will be riled up, but let’s calm down, let’s show we can drive down the field, be crisp, be smart, no penalties before the snap — be a really clean quarterback that doesn’t force the ball downfield, that can check it down and keep moving the sticks.” Coach Vic Fangio revealed his quarterback order against Atlanta — Hogan-Lock-Brett Rypien — but would not divulge specific snap count goals. Fangio said: “Some of it is by feel and the way the game is going.” Among the greatest challenges for each passer will be adapting to the Falcons’ defensive scheme after 11 training camp practices against the Broncos defense. “It will feel very foreign to those young guys and it will not be an easy transition,” offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello said. “We’re not game-planning or preparing them for that stuff, so (Lock) has to understand that and it will be a process for him. That’s part of his journey.” Lock’s football education is on display for public viewing at training camp. Scangarello and Flacco spent one small portion of practice with Lock to the side during 7-on-7 focused on footwork with Flacco demonstrating a drop-back in real time. Lock’s increased knowledge of the playbook breeds confidence when asking for help from a former Super Bowl champion and coaches. “We can actually have a dialogue and talk, and get into the really deep stuff about football rather than, ‘What did I do wrong on this play?’ Just very simple things like that,” Lock said. “Being able to have in- depth conversations, I think that was the big jump for me in these first two weeks.” Hogan gets the starting spotlight before a national television audience in his Broncos debut. He is relishing the opportunity — “I just want to go out and prove I can execute the offense, be an efficient quarterback and score some points,” Hogan said. But he is also aware of the franchise’s long-term commitment to his competition for the backup job this year. “(Lock’s) very talented and eager to get better,” Hogan said. “He’s a great guy to have in the room.

Backside drag Overview: In the video, I ran this play flipped just to give you a look at what I like to do from bunch and that you can run the same setup flipped if you mirror it. You are going to want to immediately look at the out route and take it if it is there. If not, then you start to work your eyes upfield and look inside toward the tight end. The money route is our deep corner vs cover 2, but you don’t want to stare it down and miss wide open reads earlier in the progression. Play: Pa Post Setup: 1. Drag TE Reads: 1.

Backside high low between the slant and the angled route to the slot Overview: This is probably the most popular play in madden 18, and with good reason. The play action will help protect you from any blitzes your opponent sends, and then you have a pressure release and multiple high lows that really stretch the defense vertically.
