An Interview with Anyone

Posted Mon May 18th by

If you read J. Kenneth K.’s first article you’ll know that there’s a lot of sports stars reaching out to the fans. This offseason there’s been a numerous changes in the staff at Mile High, we’ve all heard Josh McDaniels stammer around and talk about “the player”, and numerous players tell the media that “McJayGate” is none of their business. All of the draft picks have spoken to the media, but what about the men coaching them? Specifically defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and perhaps even offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. The players have talked about both coordinators in their pressers, but these coaches haven’t even held a presser themselves. I personally would really like to hear what coach Nolan has to say about the defense thus far, or coach McCoy talk about the quarterback competition between Chris Simms and Kyle Orton, the potential rookie Tom Brandstater has, and especially the role Eddie Royal will have in the new offense. I’d love to hear legendary running back coach Bobby Turner’s take on rookie Knowshon Moreno. If I had the chance I’d ask strength and conditioning coach Rich Tuten what exactly is the workout routine the players follow. However, my real question is, if you could interview one coach/front official/player on the Denver Broncos who would it be and why?

Simple as that, air it out!

    Nolan_
    Are you happy with our DLine? Have you seen something during camp that makes you think we can work with who we have? If you are not then why did you not insist on getting players in the draft? Please tell me that McD knows what he is doing. Looking classy as always, tell McD to Suit Up Bro!

  • SanDiegoBronco55

    Yeah I would interview Wayne Nunnely our d-line coach, or Nolan for the overall perspective, just wanting to see how the defense is shaping up…im pretty stoked on how different is going to be…and it cant be any worse than it has been these past couple of years haha…but yeah our secondary is solid, and i like the athleticism and talent we have in our front 7 guys..we just need to scheme that shit up well…i liked that denver broncos.com article about def wanting to act like the offense, and just attack attack attack…thats one thing i liked about coyer is that he blitzed and rushed a poop load….i liked that…especially during that eagles game in 05 i think it was we blitzed a bunch and never gave them time…so stoked for training camp!!!! lets go!

    Kyle Orton, I want 2 see if hes 4 real

  • http://broncomadness.com Garrett Barnes

    Nolan any day of the week.

  • Brian

    Personally, any coach or assistant…..I would like to ask Josh McDaniel’s brother what exactly his position is with this team is and what it is exactly that he brings to the table. Why, other than his brother is the head coach, is he even here.

  • Jon K.

    Has Turner really ever been interviewed lately?

  • Jon K.

    East, you never got back to me, please at least give me a no,
    You interested in writer for another blog?
    (Kyle hope you don’t think I’m steeling your guys, if you have right to them let me know, haha jk, but if you do mind let me know.) I’m re-starting up a blog this fall, a Broncos blog, give me an email:

    dbjon47@gmail.com

  • http://ttmt.com T-Money

    Depending on the circumstances and the regulations i.e. if they had to answer all the questions honestly and truthfully i would to sit down and find out what the hell is going through Josh McDaniels twisted little head. I would love a glimpse into the playbook and the real reason for taking KM (love that pick). And my last few questions would be about Jay Cutler and what happened there. Then as I was getting up to leave and the shake his hand…I would punch him as hard as i could in the face. Then say ‘Go Broncos’.

  • http://broncotalk.net Kyle

    Jon,

    You have our email address. Please send all correspondence regarding guest author requests via email, not comments. Thanks.

    The Denver Post replied to this blog post via twitter:

    “Saw your post. New team policy is that all asst coaches are off limits. We’ve been asking to talk to all of them but have been turned down.”

  • Boisebroncoguy

    I have always wanted to interview Romi Bean, and i have some pretty tough questions for her :). Actually, I would love to talk with Eddie Royal. He seems like a cool guy and I would like to know what he thinks about his new QB’s.

  • dmvegasbronco

    It is mostly true that team policy is that assistants do not interview. Shanahan was the same. But if we could, give me Mike Nolan.
    We do know that the Broncos will run an attack 3-4 scheme. Meaning that the three linemen are not just there to hold the line. Thats where the two OLB need to be stout against the run plus rush. Robert Ayers looks to fit that position. I am not real sure about Elvis Dumervil or Jarvis Moss. There really does seem to be quite a few players that fit the DL and OLB positions in camp. Coach McDaniels has talked about McBean, Powell, and Peterson.
    Can not wait for camp.

  • (stuck in) raiderland

    I want to interview new special assistant Emilio Estevez. How does he plan to implement the new Flying V formation– will he be able to utilize all the running backs, as hoped?

  • (stuck in) raiderland

    By the way, people should not encourage me, as is probably obvious (see previous thread).

  • http://ttmt.com T-Money

    That would be the best. “flying v… flying v” oh man that’s good.

  • http://birty.blogspot.com mikebirty

    quack quack

    I’m going to be greedy and take both champ and dawkins. But i’m not going to say anything. I’d just to sit down and listen to them break down game tape and talk about football.

  • DC

    F talkin, I want to see them on the field.

  • roshon2411

    I wouldn’t care about interviewing anyone currently on the team. Most of my questions for them would be answered by Pre-Season I would love to see an interview with Bowlen or better yet Shannahan. An honest interview, maybe get a few drinks in either. Then ask what the hell happend! Better yet a round-table with Bowlen, McDaniels, Cutler and Shanny. in the same room. That would be entertaining.

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    DC – For real! I’m dying from all this anticipation.

    roshon – Submit that to a TV network for a new reality TV show, you would make bank.

    (stuck) in raiderland – It’s always great to hear your take on things.

  • kerry

    id like to ask McDaniels how Lonnie Paxson is so much better then leach that he deserves a million a year to play freaking long snapper.

  • Jon

    Kyle,
    dude so sorry, i looked on the about pages and mr. east was not listed?

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    kerry – I’ve gone over this… his birth name is Leonidas.

    Wikipedia states:
    “He is half Greek on his father’s side[1], who’s lineage is from Sparta, Greece.”

    THIS IS SPARTA!!!!

  • Jon

    kerry! ur dumb!! long snapper is so understood
    mike leach was a unsong hero do you know how many point s our ‘O’ gets from extra points and field goals that are snapped by a LS and how good field postion the other team would get if all of our punters snaps were bad?

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    Jon,

    Leach was the man though, I figure McDaniels is just treating his boy Paxton to a nice fat contract like how Shanahan would keep Nate Jackson and Chad Mustard around.

  • (stuck in) raiderland

    I thought one of the HBs was going to play long-snapper. I mean, when we aren’t running the Flying V, of course… what the hell else are we signing all of them for?
    Jon– probably shouldn’t follow “ur dumb” with something like “long snapper is so understood” and “unsong hero.”
    I’m just saying… those whose practice facility is a glass house shouldn’t long-snap rocks. Or something like that.
    And for the record, I too am a dumbass, but I count on other people not pointing it out publicly.

  • robtink242

    McDaniels: how many running backs will we sign?

  • robtink242

    leach is the man wish he still here

  • Jon Krause

    *misunderstood

  • dmvegasbronco

    Leach was to make $876 thousand and was a limited TE. Paxton will make $1.1 million and is a backup lineman who knows the system.
    Both are excellent long snappers so I see no difference in the two.
    As for RB, we only have 3 healthy Moreno, Hillis, Walker oh and a cfa whom I do not remember his name.

  • robtink242

    dmvegasbronco
    Our offensive line was great last year. We have decent back ups. there was no reason to cut Leach. this Lonie guy messed up two snaps, he doesn’t have Leach tackling abilities, and he cost more. I cant recall Leach messing up any snaps. And as a new coach your job is to fix whats wrong with the team. Not reliable vets that give you a 100% every Sunday. I doubt Lonie ever starts on our highly talented o-line.

  • robtink242

    Yeah not to forget that Leach was a team captain.

  • Paul

    Brian…I also would like to know why Mcdaniels brother is on the staff. It is cool for your bro to make it but every other staff member must be like wtf…he doesn’t do anything! I love the comment about punching Joshy in the face……..I would like to sit down and talk with the whole team…but really sit down with Marshall and talk some sense into him….let him know he can’t be doing dumb shit

  • NathanH47

    robtink, he was a special team captain, everyteam has to have one, it’s not like he was some huge locker room presence we won’t be able to fill.

  • robtink242

    NathanH47
    I’m sorry thats why they just give special teams captain to anyone. If was captain that means his teammates saw leadership abilities in him. So he had some presence to the team.

    My real point is that his is way better than Lonie. and shouldn’t have been cut for giving 100% every sunday. his 100% = Lonie’s 140%. and he cost less.

  • TD30isMVP

    Good Lord, we are discussing Special Teams Captains, please let training camp come soon, or Pop Warner….something….please?

  • Stav

    Tell me about it, I’m just writing this comment out of utter boredom. Hasn’t been much to talk about/comment on except for maybe John Clayton thinking that Brandon Marshall won’t be suspended only because the charges were dropped immediately. It would be pretty effed up for Goodell to suspend him at any point now considering they could of addressed this in FA or the draft.

  • http://myspace.com/paraleipsis jchase8410

    I’m waiting to get my pop Warner roster. I have my playbook all set and some returning kids who are very talented and intelligent for being 7 yo. I hate the offseason…although this one has provided me with some interesting feelings. I keep telling myself, just a few more months!

  • DC

    Has anyone seen the OTA interviews with Cutler? Kinda makes me sick inside.

  • Jon K.
  • Truman

    No offense BroncoTalk but this blog is getting a little stale. We need you now more than ever! It’s easy to get our football fix during the season, but during the dog days of may, june, and july, the world can look very bleak. Let’s talk about potential starters, schemes, plays that McDaniels likes to run, how the competition is shaping up,…. really anything will do.
    Sincerely,
    Bored in Boulder

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    Truman,

    Don’t worry I’m working on it, between my summer class and job I’ve been a little swamped. A new post will come very soon.

    Go T-Money!!

  • (stuck in) raiderland

    East, take pride in the fact that you guys have officially become something like heroin dealers. People are in actual Broncotalk withdrawal. If only this were as lucrative, right? Class? Job? What the hell? I doubt anyone else peddling something capable of inducing a withdrawal syndrome has to deal with that stuff.
    On the other hand, if it were more lucrative it probably wouldn’t be legal.
    P.S.– Can you tell I’m bored too?

  • http://cdn0.sbnation.com/profile_images/111140/La_La_Mascot.jpg WhidbeyBronco

    East; Thanks for the work. Anything to get us talking about the Broncos!

  • DC

    off topic but……GO NUGGETS!!!!

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    Hell yeah! Go Nuggs!

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    (stuck) in raiderland,

    Your creativity never ceases to make me laugh. I remember the haiku you wrote back in the day, keep the comments up, I love it.

  • kerry

    lets all just go play some Heroin Hero and that will pass the time until the season starts.
