How much can you really learn about a football team in three days? It’s like a 15 minute blind date in a dimly lit room.
John Fox and the Denver Broncos aren’t alone though. Their minicule mandatory minicamp, three days in only helmets, brought together the roster likely not to differ much from the preseason roster. So despite only getting a glimpse of what is to come from the Broncos, post-Tebow, it wasn’t bad.
“I’m just pleased with everybody’s effort, and I thought we got a lot accomplished. We’ve still got a lot left to accomplish,” said the head coach. But then he quickly reverberated, “All in all, we still have a long way to go.”
Getting in a rhythm in three days isn’t really even possible. It’s like ordering dessert on this seemingly romantic outing even before you know their zodiac sign. But hey, she did, at least, say “yes”.
“It’s all relative,” said Fox who at this time was separated from the team. “ The other 31 teams had no offseason a year ago, and this year they all do.”
There are no real pressing unknowns, so it’s just a positive get together. Peyton Manning will be the starting quarterback, it will be a running back-by committee effort, and the defense is far from good but better than it was. The basics are basically there.
Second date? Make that a month, training camp starts June 28.
