Brock Olivo says how he runs special teams in practice is a "hodgepodge" of what Dave Toub did in KC & what the Broncos did w/ DeCamillis.

Olivo: "Isaiah McKenzie is as advertised."

#Broncos Brock Olivo @1043TheFan "Carlos Henderson has juice. He's a downhill, run through smoke, courageous. He runs angry."

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver now

Brock Olivo: Carlos Henderson "runs angry with the ball in his hand." Can not only be a kickoff returner, but also a gunner, Olivo said.

Olivo said that Vance Joseph is at all special-teams meetings. Olivo said loves how invested Joseph is in special teams. "VJ gets it."

Von Miller on if last season was best season individually: "I always feel like my best season is my next season.'' #9sports

Von Miller: "We've always had great defensive coordinators ... Joe Woods ... he's a great mind, he knows how to relate to us."

Von MIller: Joe Woods "brings a calm voice" to the room. "It's just a special environment here, especially on defense."

Cameron Wolfe‏Verified account @CameronWolfe now4 seconds ago

Von Miller said his mindset on defense is to be greedy. Hunger fades, but being greedy is what has you hunting for 1 sack, 2 sack, 3 sacks.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver now

Von Miller: "I think it's a wonderful thing" to have the celebration rules changed. Added that they need to "get a choreographer in here."

Ward just reposted on IG PFF post. Ward had the 2nd most productive pass rushing safety year in 2016 in the last 10 years.

... Rookie quarterback Kyle Sloter also showed some flashes, opening his day with a completion to Carlos Henderson in front of Taurean Nixon. He also showed nice touch on a perfectly-placed pass to tight end Henry Krieger-Coble during a team period. Sloter found his form later in practice, at one point completing nine consecutive passes during team and seven-on-seven periods.

Gotta love a SLOTER sighting

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Whether the Broncos have found their answers at kick and punt returner is still yet to be determined, but Special Teams Coordinator Brock Olivo believes the team's draft picks have given him more talent to make his group more explosive.

With the addition of wide receivers Carlos Henderson and Isaiah McKenzie, the Broncos brought in plenty of speed and experience. As best as Olivo can gather through two days of OTAs and one day of rookie orientation on May 14, the rookies' potential has rung true.

"I've got to say that [Executive Vice President of Football Operations/General Manager] John [Elway] and [Director of Player Personnel] Matt [Russell] and all the guys did an awesome job in the draft, and we're fired up because we've got some return potential," Olivo said. "So, yes, needless to say, we were all smiles after draft day."

It begins with Henderson, the Broncos' third-round pick at 82nd overall, who showed extensive production as a kick returner at Louisiana Tech

o far, so good.

... QB Paxton Lynch showed good decisiveness under pressure, delivering several passes as the pass rush bore down on him. Lynch also scrambled for a long run after he quickly stepped up out of pressure off from the edge from Von Miller and Shane Ray during a team period late in practice

Also Doss is Making good plays on the ball again, he did this last year though and it didn't translate to the field. But it's good to see, always going to need good CB depth in a pass happen league.

Olivio brings a passion to special teams like I never seen before. I hope the unit brings some explosion to the team via returns and some forced fumbles.

Lynch is so hype! Love to see him flexing that 4.8 speed in drills meant to gauge his ability as a passer during the base offense install phase. Look out, NFL!

Brock Olivo should NEVER tone down his press conferences. If anything, I'd like to see him get a little more weird.

Lynch ran with 1s and siemian with 2s.

If roby and aquib had ints today i would assume that was off siemian. Doss had another int and almost a 2nd. I would guess off Lynch.

If it's an open competition at ILB why do they keep bringing back the same stiffs?

Dude. Whoever told him to tone down the presser needs to be fired.

Maybe they said "nonpetition"?

To be fair, the ILB corps ain't the worst in the league. Nothing fancy, but it's serviceable with adequate depth.

Wait...is it the worst in the league?

I get the impression that this regime just doesn't value ILB position very much, thank goodness for Marshall but the other three stiffs are utterly replaceable. Nelson ain't bad, I suppose.
