'A lot of sweat that's ahead of us': HC Sean Payton shares key focus ahead of Broncos' offseason progam
rest - a lot more - https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/a...ahead-of-broncPHOENIX — It can be easy to overlook the early stages of the voluntary offseason program.
The closest thing to real football — 11-on-11 work — isn't permitted until the third stage of the program, when teams can hold organized team activities. For the first several weeks, clubs across the league will instead focus on their strength and conditioning programs.
The Broncos are slated to begin their voluntary offseason program on April 11, but there will be no question about the importance of Phase I in Denver.
New Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton has spoken about the importance of the details at every level of the organization. As the Broncos begin their voluntary offseason program, that means there's a clear understanding of the value of the strength and conditioning program — and of the work that must be done during the upcoming weeks.
"I think the first thing is really just the weight lifting program and the running," Payton told DenverBroncos.com's Phil Milani about the focus of the offseason program. "Look, it's really more of [a] get to work [mentality]. We've got a lot of stuff we want to do, but the first month of this offseason will be more weight room and conditioning. It's an area that I think we need to be a lot better in. We had a lot of injuries last year. And so we looked closely in the offseason at everything from the training room, weight room, practice. All those things, there's probably a number of things that we didn't do a good enough job with.
