Zach Wilson, Stidham, & Broncos Locker Room Happy after Win vs Packers

Jarrett Stidham I love that thank you I love that that's so that is so good Cher can you take us through uh the rushing touchdown there do you feel a little bit like javante as you lowered your shoulder yeah uh everybody kept calling me Lamar Jackson on the sideline uh I got a long way to go for that but uh yeah I just saw an open Lane and just decided to take it and try and get in the end zone it worked out so yeah Jared uh you've been leading this quarterback competition most of the off season early part of training camp I mean how do you feel it's going now a lot of people think that you know Bo might be the guy right now yeah look I I've can control what I can control and that's uh how how well prepared I am every day um you know my effort and attitude every day and uh you know going out there and and executing I mean that's that's all I can do and um yeah I mean I it like I I've always said competition's super healthy I think it's really good um I'm not going to get caught up in what's what or what it is or what it isn't um I'm focusing on every single day what I can do to uh to be the guy and um you know that sort of thing so J moving away from the QB competition specifically what can you sense differently this year than last year about this team and you know the atmosphere and everything else the environment around for sure I I think the main thing um you know Sean is obviously you know he came here last year and he you know he's trying to to pour the foundation I think that was a big part of last year and I think you know finally you have a lot of guys buying into you know what he's teaching what he's trying to do um on a daily basis and um definitely feels so much different about this team um you know at this point and um like like I've said multiple times I mean we're really really close and this is a really close team and um I was talking to Dave Logan on the on the uh radio and people don't see it but like we just went crazy for Tim Patrick in the locker room after the game because he finally you know he scored his first touchdown you know back from the injuries and stuff over the last two years and uh that doesn't happen everywhere so um yeah it's it's a special group of guys for sure Jarry can you take us through the interception were you hit on that then did the ball hit off the helmet seemed like a weird play no it just it just got tipped up in the air just unfortunate so you you just mentioned the celebration for Tim in the locker room as one of the guys who was around last year when he wasn't what has it been like to watch him be a full participant in training camp and now get to kind of have a game like this yeah it's been it's been great uh I can't speak highly enough about Tim as a person and as a player I mean he's he's a he's a veteran he works his he works his tail off um you know the last two years obviously have been tough for him but to see him come back and be able to do the things he you know he's done and um you know he had a great game tonight you know was was open pretty much the entire time he was out there and uh yeah just couldn't be more excited for him for sure jar going back to why you guys are so close do you have any specific examples of of why you think you're closer perhaps this year at this time than last year uh I mean I I think it's Unique um at least from my perspective uh you know I feel like it hasn't been like this everywhere I've been but you know one thing I always talk about is you know I feel like on teams I've been on it's you know you kind of hang out with the offensive guys or you know the defensive guys kind of hang out with the defensive guys but I mean you'll see I mean I I I hang out with offensive guys defensive guys Specialists you know I everybody and that just to me it doesn't really happen a lot um if you go into our cafeteria at the facility I mean you see guys you know sitting with other guy it's just it's it's a cool you know community that that Sean's really built um and that that wasn't happening last year or not no I mean I I think it was definitely part of it um and again with a lot of guys coming back this year you just naturally get closer and um yeah I mean one thing we did last year uh right after the season was over the next weekend there was I don't know probably 16 or 17 of us that took a trip to Aspen for like a long weekend just hanging out um dinners you know just just being guys hanging out and you know again it doesn't that doesn't happen everywhere Jared Sean mentioned multiple times the penalties and that that has to get cleaned up when you look at it kind of what do you see out there that needs to be fixed how do you get that kind of fixed for next week yeah I mean obviously we got to you know take a look at the film and see exactly what it is but uh yeah I mean the the penalties are tough because whenever you're moving the ball you know moving it well and then you you have a penalty that brings you back like it's just it's hard to overcome that I mean this League's too good the players on the opposite sideline are too good the coaches are too good so um you know whenever it's you know second and 15 or first and 20 it's always hard to to bounce back from that um so yeah we we'll definitely look at it and see what we can do to get better okay awesome [Music] Zach Wilson thanks Zach what where do you think things stand with you and and how did it go this evening you a little bit of a rough start for you and then you kind of rallied yeah um obviously limited reps and you know I just I got to come out better from the and you know it was weird to find some Rhythm there but um you know no excuse I got to find a way to start better Zach H how do you guard against maybe being a little overconfident knowing that you have had 33 NFL starts you play against a bunch of guys it's their first time in an NFL game you know second guard against like oh I'm going to go dice these guys up or whatever especially in a vanilla look most of the time yeah I don't know if overconfidence is ever probably an issue you know I think having a lot of confidence is always going to be a good thing and you know just like everybody out there I'm just trying to you know put my best out there and uh do the best I can on each play and you know whether you said it's starters or backups I mean the gap between guys is very slim you know it's a tough league and it's the best of the best and no matter what every Situation's different so um you know credit to those guys too Zack both when you were in him before just what' you see from the Run game it seemed like had a little bit more success tonight yeah really good I thought those guys did a great job you know besides some of the negative plays we had I thought we ran the ball really well um some big holes backs hit it hard um starts with the big boys up front I thought they did a good job what what did make the difference in your mind as you started to get in a rhythm down the stretch yeah I think just getting a completion sometimes helps you know I thought I missed some easy ones just kind of felt out a rhythm a bit and sometimes just getting a drive going always helps you know you felt that before when you go three and out and penalty negative play I take a sack you know those things don't help and so just kind of getting a drive a drive started and going in the right direction is going to help Zach Tyler batty has been a guy you've been in with quite a bit what what's just impressed you about his his camp and the way that he's gone yeah he he comes after it uh he gets after it every single day I mean he's a great player um loves the game uh all positive things to say about him he's always ready to go out there and play and um you know hits it hard anything else okay thanks guys Baron Browning obviously Baron just preseason game but to just top to bottom defensive effort I would imagine you're pretty happy with way you played tonight yeah I think we played the Run game good and uh we got some takeaway so just trying to continue to build on that into the regular season how much does it help to just even see I know he practic but jfm and Zach out there for a few snaps sort of have the full set of guys to play through some game situations no it's definitely good them have them out there we still know obviously learning each other chemist and building chemistry so the more rest we get together I think the better we will be in what areas have you seen Luther grow the most or Jonah sorry yeah I call what have you seen Jonah growing the most in the last few weeks uh I think he's just getting more comfortable you know with the more reps he get and I think uh with the more reps he get the better he will continue to grow um you can just tell he's trar to get his feet about him he's play to run game better and I mean it's the reason we drafted him in the third round so he's going to help us win some games the practice run against Jordan love and those guys and how much confidence does that bu for a defense when you're able to do what you did in that two-minute drill there at the endine I think it's great for our confidence obviously that's the talent we want to have being able to stop the offense and get off the field so we just got to continue to build on those things and I think that scrimmage was a a great starting point and today doing it again well and you guys pit a shut out kind of across the board I know you get to pick who they play but how could that feel that the defense gave up no point uh like I said it's just a good starting point for us and we just got to continue to build on I think it's a lot of work to still be done and we just got to take advantage of the opportunities we have left before the reg season C was saying that went crazy for Tim Patrick after the game for scoring his first touchdown just seeing him overcome all that he's gone through what did that mean to you guys to see that it meant a lot especially like you know he had a career uh not a career but a season ended injury uh the first year then the follow back last year right when he just getting back on the field to have another injury you know it had to be tough for him mentally and I know he was probably in a dark place but just to see him you know fight back and be here with his teammates uh you know that's what you look forward to seeing and I'm happy for him I'm glad to have him back and I'm glad to have him back so he can help us win some games you guys obviously have a a pretty good top three or four an outside linebacker but there's a lot of guys in contention for roster spots what have you just made of the depth um in the guys that are sort of trying to make this roster uh like you said we just got it's a very competitive room but uh I just been focusing on doing my job you know that's above my pay grade you know those decisions so I just stay in my Lane when you have a guy like I mean chami he was on the practice squad some of last year late last year darl derell like to be on the practice squad last year and then come back and and make a real run and trying to make a r what's that sort of say about a guy in that spot that he doesn't quit I mean he's made a lot of progress this year and uh you know I think he's put his best foot for it and I wish whatever the outcome is I hope it's a good one for him appreciate have a good one
