Broncos Get 3 Preseason Chances to Sharpen Offense Under Davis Webb

3 articles · Updated · Mile High Report · Aug 9

Summary

  • Three preseason games will give Denver its first live test of Davis Webb’s play-calling before a Sept. 14 opener at Kansas City, with Webb saying the offense needs game reps to find its rhythm.
  • Friday’s exhibition against Atlanta starts that process after a camp built mostly on scripted work, which Webb said cannot fully replicate how players and coaches react drive to drive.
  • Bo Nix enters his third season with a deeper supporting cast, including trade addition Jaylen Waddle alongside Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant.
  • Denver also expects a stronger run game after drafting fourth-round back Jonah Coleman to join J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, with Webb touting six-deep running back depth as a potential edge.
  • The Broncos return most offensive starters and keep the same scheme, making Webb’s transition into the lead play-calling role a central storyline for whether the unit can reach a top-10 level.
