Dymonte Thomas says this defense is going to help create turnoversThird-year safety Dymonte Thomas got on the air with Andrew Mason and Steve Atwater on First and 10 at 10 on Orange & Blue 760 to talk about Denver Broncos minicamp. Mason and Atwater noted right of the bat the differences in practice compared to last year and Thomas had a pretty interesting reply. “We didn’t know what to expect really,” Thomas said. “Then after a few practices, we were like, ‘Oh yeah, this man is going to definitely try to get all his plays in’ ... It helps though, because it really makes you think when you’re tired and it really makes you hone in on your skills and your assignments and just makes you pay closer attention. And it’s also cool, because it’s not just the one’s and two’s getting the reps - everyone’s getting the reps. Everyone gets the same amount of reps pretty much. It actually helps a lot and I do appreciate that.”It sounds like head coach Vic Fangio isn’t going to leave any stone unturned as he prepares this team for the 2019 season. From top to bottom, he wants every player ready to contribute. Atwater went on to note that the players just seemed more excited this year and Thomas was able to elaborate in a very insightful way. “A lot of times when you play defense, you get caught up in so much man or cover zero, you’re all eyes on your receive right? So when you are all eyes on the receiver https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Justin-Simmons-Jersey , you are not really looking back at the ball or looking back at the quarterback,” Thomas said. “But in this defense, we have some coverages that will allow us to have zone and allows us to look at the quarterback and break on plays on the ball rather than having our back towards the quarterback playing man. I think it’s going to help us a lot, because it’s going to help us create turnovers.”He went on to talk about the scheme in even greater detail and how the pressure is spread around, which helps take the burden off any one position group. It was a pretty good interview, well worth the listen. A promising young QB gets the fanbase excited, but no one gets to assume the future. Drew Lock’s success is all on his own shoulders." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteMile High Reporta Denver Broncos communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsBroncosOddsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Broncos NewsBroncos 2019 Draft ClassBroncos PodcastsBroncos 2019 ScheduleKey Offseason DatesCommunity RulesFull ArchiveBroncos StoriesScheduleRosterStatsOdds Shop About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕If you want it, rookie... earn it.New,79commentsA promising young QB gets the fanbase excited, but no one gets to assume the future. Drew Lock’s success is all on his own shoulders. If you want it Domata Peko Color Rush Jersey , rookie... earn it.Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty ImagesThere’s no mania that fanbases are prone to quite like the mania brought on by a promising rookie quarterback. Broncos Country is no stranger to this mania, and honestly we might have it worse than most fanbases. Quarterback has been an unsettled issue for the Broncos since the day Peyton Manning retired, and we’ve seen fans get carried away on crusades for or against various quarterbacks again and again in the time since.Hint: It’s going to happen this year too.But if John Elway, Vic Fangio, & company are wise, they’ll turn a deaf ear to the nigh-inevitable clamor. And I’d say that we as fans would be well advised to do the same. Because in the end it’s not about what the fanbase wants, but about what’s best for the Broncos in 2019 and in future seasons. The quality of play the Broncos get out of Joe Flacco should certainly be a notable factor in when or if a QB change happens this year, next year, or whenever. But really the driving factor has to be Drew Lock and his quality of play. Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty ImagesThe Broncos made a critical mistake in the 2016 offseason by taking a raw 1st round QB but failing to secure a decent veteran bridge (Mark Sanchez? Really?!?). That was far from the only mistake the team made in regard to Paxton Lynch, beginning with drafting him in the first place Demarcus Walker Jersey , but the apparent lack of a viable alternative had fans clamoring for Lynch practically from day one. For many fans, it didn’t matter that he wasn’t ready. They’d anointed him as Manning’s successor and the calls for him to learn on the job started loud and only got louder the next season.It’s important that the team doesn’t fall back into that trap this offseason/season, especially due to the presence of a viable QB in Joe Flacco. I’d argue that it’s also important that the fanbase avoids the same pitfall. That’s not an attempt to tell you who to pull for, just a plea for patience. Lock isn’t the same raw, lackadaisical project that Lynch was, but he has important work to do and some habits and issues that need ironing out.And that’s really the gist of it: Paxton Lynch was the assumed franchise QB from the outset as a matter of when, not if. Lock isn’t and shouldn’t be. Flacco could turn in some decent to good seasons in orange & blue, so Lock can’t afford to assume he’ll be handed the job after a year. If he wants to be The Guy for the next ten to fifteen years, then he needs to step up and do the work he needs to do to prepare before he ever tries to rip the job out of Flacco’s hands. And rightly so, because Joe Flacco’s the starter right now. He’s doing what the starter should and focusing on winning first.Photo by Rob Carr/Getty ImagesAs coach Fangio said about a week ago https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Chris-Harris-Jr-Jersey , “That’s on Drew to soak in and learn. Joe’s learning a new system himself. As we move along there will be more interaction and they’ll get to know each other but primarily it’s on Drew to learn.”So if you want it, Drew, then step up and take it. This job doesn’t come on a silver platter anymore.For us fans, it’s a good situation. Flacco should provide better play than we’ve seen in several years, and the team should be set at QB for a couple of years regardless. The QB performance floor has risen, and now we get to see if Lock can raise the ceiling. But if he doesn’t? Fine.
