Doesn’t it?! Fangio content to evaluate Broncos outside the film roomdenverbroncos.comAs football fans we get used to hearing the same regurgitated soundbites from the coaches and players. How many times over the years, when things have been tough, that the key to turning it all around is to log some serious hours in the film room? As Broncos fans, we’ve been conditioned to think that the more film that’s watched, the better chances are for success. It’s almost comforting to us to know that they’re getting there early and staying late watching and re-watching every play, hoping to find the hidden nuance that could be the key to dominating on Sunday. Imagine my surprise last Tuesday when Broncos coach, Vic Fangio nonchalantly tossed out there that he hasn’t really watched that much film of the 2018 Broncos.Gasp! Doesn’t he know that he’s supposed to tell us he’s burning the midnight oil, crushing film until the wee hours? Aren’t we supposed to be emboldened by that as fans? Nobody got to Fangio and told him that’s how this is how it has always worked for the Broncos? If he’s not watching film, what is he doing? How could he just go out there and just tell the truth about what he’s doing? I’ll admit, at first I kind of missed the ‘film watching song and dance,’ but after some reflection it’s actually pretty damn refreshing to have someone tell you what they are actually doing and not just blowing smoke. I blogged about this team after every game of the 2018 season, and let me tell you, I have no desire to go back and look at the rank ineptitude that afforded us the No. 10 overall in this year’s draft. Why would Vic?It’s a fact the 2018 offense under-performed due to coaching and quarterback play. As far as Fangio is concerned, both those issues have been sufficiently remedied.Plus it’s just awful football to watch. Why would any sane person subject themselves to that kind of torture?Speaking of...Brandon Stokley doubled down on his take that Fangio needs to watch tons of 2018 film - despite fellow former Broncos Mark Schlereth and Ed McCaffrey telling him to let it go.MHR’s docllv, however, didn’t let him get away with it.Vic Fangio was hired because he was a different kind of coach. Some fans are distressed that he’s not watching film. I say let Vic be Vic and let’s withhold the knee-jerk reactions and see how all this plays out. Plus, let’s not forget that former Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels, in true Patriots fashion, once held illegal video of another team’s walkthrough... and still couldn’t win.So maybe film study isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. If you haven’t given it a listen, Tim, Laurie, and I break down reactions to Vic’s film-study and more on this week’s Something Something Broncos podcast.

Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said recently that he feels his time in Denver may be coming to an end.It appears that the veteran’s premonition was correct. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Texans are closing in on a deal for the wideout. A mid-round pick is expected to go back to Denver.The Texans have an opening in their receiving corps with Will Fuller out for the season with a torn ACL. Thomas would join DeAndre Hopkins to keep Deshaun Watson stocked with targets for the rest of the season.Assuming the deal gets done, Thomas would join the Texans in time for their Week Nine game. That contest will take place in Denver on Sunday afternoon.“I鈥檝e been watching him for a long time, since he was at Georgia Tech and since he鈥檚 been in the NFL,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said of Thomas in a Tuesday conference call, via Ryan O’Halloran of the Denver Post. “Excellent athletic skills. Great hands. Really good route runner. Very smooth route runner. He鈥檚 a tough guy to defend.”O’Brien may not have to worry about defending Thomas any longer.
