How Jonathon Cooper LEVELS UP the Denver Broncos’ defense

DNVR Denver Broncos Podcast

Henry Chisholm (0:01)

This is the DNVR Broncos Podcast from the Toyota Lounge, which is still the Winners Lounge. It stays the Winners Lounge for the entire week or more when this happens.

No RK.

He is coming back from Philadelphia. Oh, yeah. No Zac. He was on the phone with Sean Payton. Oh, yeah. No Benny. We got him on Friday.

Andre Simone (0:19)

Oh, yeah.

Henry Chisholm (0:20)

So we've got Dre.

Andre Simone (0:22)

Back to Broncos, Enrico. Molto contento.

Henry Chisholm (0:27)

Changing the verbiage.

Andre Simone (0:28)

Yeah, sorry. Oh, man. I changed the verbiage from the last time we were on.

Henry Chisholm (0:31)

So weird report.

Andre Simone (0:32)

I'm bad guys.

Henry Chisholm (0:33)

Weird report. So Jay Glazer says that the Broncos changed a bunch of their verbiage.

Andre Simone (0:39)

Yeah.

Henry Chisholm (0:39)

When Davis Webb took over and then changed it back when Sean went back to calling the place.

Andre Simone (0:44)

Yeah, it sounds like 30 percent, I believe, was the report. Changed when Webb took over as the play caller.

Tis.

Henry Chisholm (0:51)

It's the third. I'm choosing to believe that that just isn't true or is misconstrued or something because, I mean, I can't believe they'd be that dumb.

It's that simple.

Andre Simone (1:02)

Yeah, pretty wacky.

Henry Chisholm (1:03)

In what world would you change all your terminology or even a third of it to something new in the offseason? Because like Davis Webb has been in this building for this is his third year now. So two years under his belt. He knows all this terminology as well as anybody.

Andre Simone (1:20)

Sure.

Henry Chisholm (1:21)

You know who else knows that terminology? Bo Nix. Yes. And the rest of the Broncos, too.

Andre Simone (1:25)

Yeah.

Henry Chisholm (1:25)

And that's what they've been using for years. And so to change it to again. So it's like you you speak Italian.

Andre Simone (1:32)

Yeah.

Henry Chisholm (1:32)

I don't speak Italian.

Andre Simone (1:34)

Yeah.

Henry Chisholm (1:34)

I speak English. You speak English.

Andre Simone (1:36)

Yeah.

Henry Chisholm (1:36)

So we talk we talk in English because we both know it.

Andre Simone (1:40)

Huh.

Henry Chisholm (1:40)

Maybe this off season you should just learn how to speak Italian. And then we just talk because that's just a waste of time and is going to lead hiccups. So I I'm really hoping that there's it's it's just misreported somehow that it isn't quite as black and white as it sounds because that would be pretty crazy.

Andre Simone (1:57)

I mean, especially when the whole point of right changing back from Davis to Sean is to try and repair the offensive struggles, you wouldn't want to add yet another revert back to complicate those after spending months learning this, you say, oh, we're going back to this better study up on what you were doing last year. Yeah. Again, if one of our threes well, right.

One and a half of our segments was done in a different language, right? Because I was on right.

Henry Chisholm (2:29)

I'd be pretty dumb.

Andre Simone (2:29)

Yeah. Everybody would hate it. Yeah. It doesn't seem like that would have come.

Henry Chisholm (2:34)

So we'll see. It doesn't seem like Sean got asked about that this morning. I'm sure it's going to come up again.

But I need that one clarified because it just sounds really stupid.

Andre Simone (2:44)

I'd love that clarified. I see Ivan in the chat saying to him, he's reading the tea leaves as this would be something Sean would leak to try and kind of downplay the struggles. I wonder if it's something Bo's camp would leak to try and downplay the struggle. You know, like again, you get into who would be incentivized to leak something like this to Jig Glazer.

What would the motivation behind them doing that be? So yeah.

Henry Chisholm (3:14)

Just odd.

Andre Simone (3:15)

Yeah.

Henry Chisholm (3:17)

Why wouldn't he?

He's been with the Broncos as long as he's been with anybody else. So it's like, what is the Davis Web terminology? So did he pick it up in the one year with the Giants? Like, you spent two years here learning all this stuff. He did spend three years with the Bills. Before that, a year with the Jets, a year with the Giants, a year at Cal, three years at Texas Tech. You bring in the Texas Tech terminology, that's what you're going to do digging into your bag from more than a decade ago.

The Davis Web terminology should be the Sean Payton terminology. That's where you're...
