I’m just loving the chemistry that we’re developing right now.” On whether they played a lot of man‐to‐man defense in New Orleans “Pretty much. We did a lot more of a cat coverage, so to speak. Here we’re definitely mixing it up a little bit. We’re doing a little of everything. You can’t sit here and say right now we’re more man or we’re more zone. Here we’re doing a little bit of everything.” On his strengths as a cornerback “Maybe my press ability to get my hands on a receiver, being able to run with their routes. A lot of guys nowadays are a lot faster at the receiver position. Being able to stay with those guys in coverage, playing proper technique is one of the strengths I think I bring.” On what he’s learned from CB Champ Bailey “Overall just staying patient, learning what formations and what routes are coming and just having a knack for being around the ball. Champ’s history speaks for itself.

  • Vic Fangio Looks to Set the Tone As Broncos Offseason Program Kicks Off by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post April 3, 2019
    Vic Fangio looks to set the tone as Broncos offseason program kicks off By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post April 3, 2019 Broncos coach Vic Fangio was asked last week what his message will be when he addresses the players upon Tuesday’s start of the voluntary offseason program. “You’ll have to be in the room to find out,” he said, knowing full well an invitation to the media wasn’t in the offing. Given time to consider a deeper answer, Fangio said he was “sure” multiple points will be presented in his first full-squad meeting since being hired in January. “But I’m not stressed about it or anything,” he said. “The messages are the messages that I’ve conveyed to the players over the years. Now I’m just talking to the whole team instead of half the team.” That has and will be Fangio’s spin when discussing his transition from defensive coordinator to the big chair. He now speaks to the whole team. He now leads the entire coaching staff. He now spends more time with the front office. But speeches are speeches. The Broncos are permitted to start their eight-week offseason program two weeks early because Fangio is a new coach. Tuesday will include introductions to new coordinators Rich Scangarello (offense) and Ed Donatell (defense) and the position coaches, a team meeting and weight room work. What will Fangio’s presentation sound like? Depends on his tact. Each new coach wants to introduce his thoughts on the team culture he wants to build.

It’s impressive that they should ways to get paid for that very endeavor. I often tease Zach Strief that if people knew how much he enjoyed talking then he would offer his opinion for free. That there’s no need for them to pay him. But obviously he’s not alone I think it speaks to the exceptional group of men that Mickey Loomis, Coach (Sean) Payton and that entire organization was able to put together. It was a special group and I enjoy watching (Jonathan) Vilma and hearing Roman (Harper) and Deuce (McAllister) has done such a good job for such a long time. So not only as a teammate, but a fan of those individuals it’s fun to see and hear them. Still to this day there’s a lot of guys from that team that we don’t get to keep up with or keep in contact with as much or as well. But just to hear them on a recurring basis is fun to watch and it extends to Lance (Moore) is doing some stuff and obviously Reggie (Bush).

  • Afc South Battle Highlights Week 15 Slate
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12/10/19 http://twitter.com/nfl345 AFC SOUTH BATTLE HIGHLIGHTS WEEK 15 SLATE To help celebrate the NFL’s 100th season, each week will feature an NFL 100 Game of the Week. Each game is a nod to a momentous game played, a fierce rivalry that spans decades, a matchup of original teams and/or a game in which history was made. The NFL has designated the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS-NEW ORLEANS SAINTS matchup as the NFL100 Game of the Week because the contest features the teams from Super Bowl XLIV. On Feb. 7, 2010, in Miami, Fla., the Saints dedicated their 31-17 victory to the New Orleans community, ravaged four years earlier by Hurricane Katrina. Trailing 10-6, Saints head coach SEAN PAYTON surprised everyone by calling for an onside kick to open the second half, and the Saints recovered to set up a go-ahead, 16-yard touchdown pass from DREW BREES to PIERRE THOMAS. The Colts went back on top, 17- 13, with a 4-yard touchdown run by JOSEPH ADDAI, but the Saints shut out Indy’s high-powered offense over the game’s final 21 minutes. Brees guided New Orleans on a nine-play touchdown drive to take a fourth-quarter lead, hitting JEREMY SHOCKEY from 2 yards out, and TRACY PORTER returned an interception 74 yards for a touchdown, the final points in the Saints’ first world championship. AFC SOUTH FIGURES TO GO DOWN TO WIRE: The TENNESSEE TITANS (8-5), who’ve vaulted into the heart of the AFC playoff race with four straight wins, host the HOUSTON TEXANS (8-5) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS).
