Dianna Russini discusses Bo Nix and Broncos' outlook with Rich Eisen
"Let's just start with the star of the show with Bo Nix," said Russini. "He's different this year, Rich. He's a big boy now. I was with him last year (at) this time, and my favorite question to ask second-year coaches, quarterbacks, players even is, 'What's the difference? Take me through your first training camp compared to now.' Because Bo and I had spoken last year, he was so transparent. He's like, 'Whatever I was saying to you, was not true. I didn't know what I was doing!' He was so relatable. He was like, 'I was just trying to get through. I memorized the plays, I didn't understand the plays.' He went from just doing it to understanding the 'why' of it."
Later on in the interview, Russini spoke about expectations around the Broncos from their ownership to players. "They are not afraid to talk Super Bowl," said Russini. "You know, sometimes you go to these teams and it's like, 'Let's just focus on today. We gotta make sure we get our lunch in; we got to get through this walkthrough.' This team's like, 'We want the Super Bowl,' which tells me they got the confidence because they're seeing it."
That is great news to hear in Broncos Country! After having several mediocre years of not knowing who will be coach, quarterback or having a change in ownership, stability and championship expectations have returned in Denver.
