No clowns or prima donnas: Bo Nix praises mentality of Broncos' locker room
The Broncos have the highest rate (86%) of returning players in the league, giving them plenty of continuity as they approach the 2025 campaign. Denver also has a close-knit squad off the field, and Nix believes that will pay dividends on the field.
"I'm playing with a similar team as we did last year," Nix said last week. "Not a lot of turnover. Then we added some special guys that were good locker room guys, good teammates, have that history of working hard, being experienced. They're going to make a big difference for us. We're all just trying to compete to get better. We're all trying to make each other better. I think that's just kind of showing in the locker room, out on the field, in the cafeteria. We just have a close team."
Broncos general manager George Paton and coach Sean Payton have been deliberate in finding high-character players to add to the locker room, and Nix praised the group's mentality.
"I think it starts with, honestly, the type of people we have in the locker room," Nix said. "We don't have any clowns. We don't have any guys that are hard to get along with. We just have good people, good dudes that are all here for one reason, and that's one team goal and just to get better. We don't really have a lot of prima donnas, which is good.'
No clowns. No prima donnas. Just hard-working players seeking a Super Bowl.
That's exactly the kind of roster that can help Denver return to chasing championships.

Back to Seattle: Carroll and Smith return in Raiders-Seahawks preseason game
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Seattle represents a proving ground for Pete Carroll and Geno Smith. Carroll, especially, left an indelible mark on the Seahawks by coaching them to their only Super Bowl title. Smith quarterbacked the franchise to winning records the past three years. Now Carroll and Smith head back to the Pacific Northwest, returning to their former home Thursday night representing the Las Vegas Raiders when they open their preseason schedule against the Seahawks. Carroll took over the Seahawks in 2010 after winning two national championships at Southern California as part of a seven-year run of double-digit victories. His return to the NFL was a little bit of a leap of faith for Carroll after previous stops in which he went 6-10 in 1994 with the New York Jets and 27-21 in 1997-99 at New England. 'It was an experiment coming out of USC to go to the NFL and see if the way we had developed, the culture we had created, the concept of competing the way we did would carry over,' Carroll said. "Mostly, it was the way we treated the people in our program. I wasn't sure. I had an inkling it would be OK, but I didn't know and a lot of people probably questioned it as well. 'We didn't change anything. We maintained the philosophy. We adapted to the players and, of course, the game. After it's said and done, I feel really good about the time we spent there, that we were able to stay with what we believed in and make it work out all right.' Carroll went 137-89-1 in 14 seasons in Seattle, putting together double-digit victories eight times over a nine-year stretch. That included consecutive Super Bowl appearances, winning the championship in the 2013 season with the dominant "Legion of Boom" defense. 'I loved my time in Seattle and loved the fans and the people that we met and dealt with and competed with," Carroll said. 'But (Thursday's) a game for us. We're going to go play ball.' Carroll declared that every Raiders player was 'live' for that game, but what that meant exactly was hard to say. That especially leaves open the question of whether Smith will take snaps other than in warmups in his former home stadium. Seattle is where Smith turned around his career when he signed in 2019 as the backup. He had lost his starting job with the Jets and spent one season each with the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers. But it wasn't until 2022 that Smith became the starter — and he made the most of it. He led the league by completing 69.8% of his passes while throwing for 4,282 yards and 30 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. Smith was selected as the AP Comeback Player of the Year. 'It means a lot to me as a place where I called home for six years, was able to have a son there, and I was able to really just kind of turn my career around,' Smith said. "Met some really cool people, got to know a lot of great people there, a lot of great teammates over the years. Just really special things, special thoughts that come to my mind when I think about it.' Lonnie Johnson could return late in season Carroll said safety Lonnie Johnson Jr., who broke his right leg in Saturday's mock game, will have surgery soon and could return in the next couple of months. Johnson competed on the second team in practices, but was with the starters when the Raiders went to nickel defenses. 'I think we recognized Lonnie in a way that he hasn't been recognized in the earlier parts of his career,' Carroll said. 'We're really going to miss him. We had a number of things that especially he could do well in contributing to the defense, so we have to work a little bit to figure out how other guys take these kinds of concepts. "These five weeks here are hugely important to him so he can get back three or four or five weeks into the season.' Carroll on adding a defensive tackle The Raiders announced their trade Monday night in which cornerback Jakorian Bennett went to Philadelphia for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV. Booker was fifth on the Eagles' depth chart, but could have a great opportunity in Las Vegas. '(Booker) plays really hard and he's really consistent in his effort,' Carroll said. 'He's big enough and flexible enough to play a number of spots for us. He looked really good in their rotations and that's a heck of a defensive line over there. It keeps him from playing and getting his numbers up, but we see a lot of positives.' ___

In a new conversation with Troy Renck of the Denver Post, Manning did not hold back and sent a strong message about the 2025 team. "Look, I can tell from watching practice one day and sort of keeping up, belief and confidence are high in the building," Manning said. "And that's what you want, right? Where we are not hoping we are a good team, but knowing we are a good team. That you believe it. Now you have to go do it. But the belief is there." He continued on, revealing why there is reason for the Denver fan base to be excited about the present and future. "That's the thing, there is a reason to be excited," Manning said.

Deion Sanders and his coaching staff at Colorado boast a combined 160 years of NFL experience
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Warren Sapp strictly enforces Colorado players being in straight lines while stretching at practice. Marshall Faulk harps over and over on proper footwork. These two Hall of Fame players turned coaches are sticklers for the little things. That's on orders from the third member of their gold-coat club: Deion Sanders. Sapp and Faulk are part of a Buffaloes coaching staff that boasts 160 years of total NFL experience (playing, coaching or covering). The crew runs a no-nonsense, tight-knit operation, which came in handy when Sanders was away and fighting bladder cancer. The coaching staff keeps reaffirming what Sanders always stresses — paying attention to the details. 'It's the little things that will make us great,' explained Sapp, who is the defensive pass-rush specialist for the Buffaloes this season. 'It's the tedious repetition of the little things, over and over and over again. That's what we do. "He (Sanders) has so much other things on his plate. I figured I'd handle the little things. ... We really don't ask much of them, except, let's go to work and that's what we're going to do.' In addition to Sapp and Faulk, the list of coaches that Sanders has assembled with NFL experience includes offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, defensive coordinator Robert Livingston, receivers coach Jason Phillips, defensive passing game coordinator/cornerbacks coach Kevin Mathis, defensive line coach Domata Peko, and offensive line coaches George Hegamin and Andre Gurode. Combined — and, of course, counting Sanders — that's 27 Pro Bowls, five Super Bowl titles, an NFL MVP (Faulk), three Pro Football Hall of Famers (Sanders, Faulk, Sapp), two NFL defensive player of the year honors (Sapp, Sanders) and an NFL offensive player of the year recipient (Faulk, three times). 'When you have a whole bunch of guys that's been there and done that, and played in the league, it's definitely a blessing for us,' Peko said. 'Everyone kind of checks their egos at the door, and we all just try to collaborate together.' The Buffaloes may be adding more experience, too. Sanders said at Big 12 media day last month he's trying to bring in ex-NFL QB Byron Leftwich and former Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer to the staff. 'With those two added, that's 204 years of NFL experience,' Sanders said, 'and I want those years.' Faulk and Sapp were both in Canton, Ohio, last weekend for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. There, they hung out with the greats of the game, with Sapp recording personal video messages from past players to show his impressionable Buffaloes. 'I just soak it up from them, and I bring it back to the babies, because just hearing it from me, they hear me all the time,' said Sapp, who had 96 1/2 sacks over his 13-year-career. 'But when John Randle was on (the video), and I can see their eyes pop up I got a whole new message. ... I'm going to give them everything I got." For Faulk, being in Canton just reaffirmed his passion for football — and coaching. 'I literally sold popcorn in the Superdome because I couldn't afford a ticket to watch the sorriest team in the '80s — the Saints," cracked Faulk, whose Buffaloes open the season Aug. 29 by hosting Georgia Tech. 'I just love football and to be around the guys (in Canton) who gave me the opportunity to play this game and left the game in my hands, there's nothing like it. 'But it was the first time I'd been there and wanted to be somewhere else.' Namely, working with his fleet of running backs. Sophomore Micah Welch was in the lunch room when he heard about the hiring of Faulk in February. Welch went home that night and pulled up some highlight footage. 'It was amazing,' Welch said. Faulk was dazzling on the field, a dual threat out of the backfield who spent his 12 seasons in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts and the St. Louis Rams. He rushed for 12,279 yards and 100 TDs, while also catching 767 passes for 6,875 yards and 36 scores. He's teaching his tailbacks the little things like footwork — 'I'm a stickler for footwork,' Faulk said — along with how they receive a handoff from their QB. 'After that, go be creative,' Faulk said. 'But we all start with the canvas and the paint brush the same way before we go make art.' For Faulk, it was an easy decision to join Sanders in Boulder. They've been longtime friends. 'Coming here not just to win games on the field, but to win the game off the field, which is to make sure that these young men in life become what they want to become,' the 52-year-old Faulk said. 'That's the important part.'
