In fact, he’s almost doing the opposite. For instance, consider his comments about several marquis players:On Von Miller:On Chris Harris Jr.:On what he’s learned about Joe Flacco:On Brendan Langley at wide receiver:On how young quarterbacks need to improveIf we’ve written it once, we’ve written it a thousand times on here - Fangio is a no-nonsense coach. And as my good friend Larry Dyer III at “Bears Talk Underground” reminded me, “Fangio could give zero F’s what you think of what he’s doing.”Jess Place, Tim Lynch and I talked about this on our podcast this week - Fangio’s approach is genuine - and it is such a relief.Because this time of year, as Broncos fans, we tend to get very optimistic about our team’s chances. The good, bad and ugly of the previous season has mostly disappeared, and the promise of a new season with a new approach, better scheme, good players added is staring us down, begging us to believe in a playoff-bound, ass-kicking team with a new QB who will take us to the Promise Land.As Mancar noted, “the great thing about football is the rebirth of positivity and hype every year.”But for the first time since Gary Kubiak became head coach in 2015 (and before that, who knows) - the excitement actually feels believable. Like, it’s not just the Kool-Aid; the team is actually good.Because Fangio is getting it done, and it’s already noticeable in the attitudes of players - from not wanting to be the idiot whose screwup on the field is watched by everyone on film to believing they all have to earn their spot on the roster, no matter what their name is.Ed Donatell, defensive coordinator who has worked with Fangio for years, said this is exactly who Fangio has always been.“He really has never changed very much in eight years Phillip Lindsay Jersey White ,” Donatell said. “It’s just what I thought it would be when he took over as the head coach. He’s really into the game management part of it and the details and the little things and that’s showing up in our football team.”Rich Scangarello, a first-time offensive coordinator, said it has been exciting being part of “Vic’s plan” because of the details he worries about - and therefore prepares for - in situational football.“He’s going to force the players and the coaches into uncomfortable situations that remind them of game day,” Scangarello said. “With that comes the task of thinking fast and putting guys in positions to make plays, and them having to think on their own on the field. ...I’m really excited about it and the guys have embraced it. I think it’s made us a better team.”I certainly think so, but you can think what you want.Either way, Fangio will give zero Fs what either of us thinks and just continue to coach football.Horse Tracks - docllv’s picks of the dayNotes from Broncos minicamp, Day 2Joe Flacco and Courtland Sutton connected for multiple touchdowns ... and game management and situational football continued to be at the heart of the team’s on-field work.Observations from Day 1 of Broncos mandatory minicamp – The AthleticJoe Flacco shows off his "cannon" for an arm, Vic Fangio sees improvement in Von Miller and much more.Horse TracksManning Men Visit Broncos During Day 2 Of Mini-Camp – CBS DenverDenver's "sheriff" made an appearance at the Broncos' mini-camp on Wednesday.Denver Broncos: Archie and Peyton Manning attended practice WednesdayArchie and Peyton Manning watched the Broncos' second minicamp practice of 2019 in person.Denver Broncos: Drew Lock ‘slowly making strides’ at minicamp practiceBroncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock is on the right track.Scangarello: Lindsay is 'one of the more dynamic players' in NFLRich Scangarello can't wait to unleash Phillip Lindsay in the Broncos' offense.Broncos RB Lindsay (wrist) to be ready for campBroncos coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that running back Phillip Lindsay, who is recovering from right wrist surgery, will be ready for full participation when training camp begins next month.Leaving a legacy: An inside look at how Von Miller is putting his stamp on NFL history via his Pass Rush SummitIf Las Vegas is an oasis in the midst of a desert, Miller’s third annual Pass Rush Summit may be the lone haven for defenders looking to make an impact in an increasingly offensively minded league.Instant chemistry over cauliflower sold Gerald McCoy on Panthers - Carolina Panthers Blog- ESPNThe fellowship that Gerald McCoy felt with Panthers players over a vegan lunch last week put Carolina over the top.Broncos' Ron Leary glad to be back at his preferred right guard position, and more from Day 2 of minicampRon Leary said Wednesday he is back at home as the Broncos’ right guard, debunking the belief that left guard was his preferred position.Ron Leary has 'no restrictions' in practice, Phillip Lindsay set to return for training camp“I feel like I’m very close,” Lindsay said.Denver Broncos news: NFL announces finalized 2019 preseason scheduleWe now know the dates and times for all of the Broncos' 2019 preseason games. After Pat Bowlen died earlier this year, the question of whether he would receive a gold jacket and ring from the Pro Football Hall of Fame was raised because the Hall has not issued those things to the estates or families of other deceased inductees.The Hall of Fame has announced a change in that policy for the late Broncos owner. Bowlen was elected to the Hall of Fame in February and had been measured for the jacket and ring before his death in June. Hall of Fame spokesman Pete Feirle referenced that as well as the fact that no other person selected for enshrinement has died during the period before election and induction.“Pat Bowlen is the first individual to pass away between the time he was elected and formally enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” Fierle said, via Mike Klis of KUSA. “e Gold Jacket and Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence. As previously planned prior to his death, the Gold Jacket and Ring of Excellence will be presented to the Pat Bowlen estate to be displayed in the front lobby of the UC Health Training Center [in Denver].”“The Gold Jacket and Ring of Excellence will serve as an everlasting reminder of the impact Pat Bowlen made on the Broncos and the National Football League. He epitomized the values and virtues learned from the game of football that serve as inspiration to fans to live a ‘Hall of Fame life’ of character.”While the statement does not address other posthumous inductees directly, it does not appear that the decision regarding Bowlen will apply to the likes of Ken Stabler, Junior Seau and others who have been elected to the hall after their deaths.
