DENVER BRONCOS OTA QUOTES (6/15/15)
TIGHT END OWEN DANIELS
On how the offensive installs are going
“Coach ‘Kub’s offense is Coach ‘Kub’s offense. We’re installing things the way we’ve always done in Houston and Baltimore.
Obviously there’s a little bit of a mesh between what we’ve done in the past and obviously what [QB] Peyton [Manning] has
done in the past here with the Denver Broncos. We’re just trying to find out what we do best, work with that and go from there.”
On younger players asking him questions about the offense
“Guys ask questions. They’ve done an awesome job of learning it and they’ve picked it up really, really quickly and really, really
well. Sometimes they’ll be a little, ‘Hey, what do we got on this?’ as we’re breaking the huddle, but guys have been doing an
awesome job, and I like that. We’re able to kind of bridge the gap between what they were doing here before and what we’ve
always done with Coach Kubiak’s offense. I know it’s tough; it’s got to be tough to learn something totally different than they’ve
been doing the last few years. I’m happy to be in that teacher role.”
On what he thinks the strengths of the offense are
“We’re working right now. We just finished all of our installs of our entire playbook. Speaking in general, we just like to stay
balanced. Coach Kubiak’s offense likes to stay balanced. Running the ball has always been a strong play of our offense and being
physical and running play-action pass off those runs. We’ll try to continue to do that. It’s always been a big, big part of our
offense. We’ve gotten big plays off of it and [have] been very successful, so I think it’s going to be a really good mash up of what
we’ve done and being able to change tempo with what Peyton has done in the past.”
On what he sees in WR Cody Latimer
“I think he’s maturing. He’s just a second-year guy. Obviously we would love to have D.T. (WR Demaryius Thomas), but not
having him around has meant a ton of more reps with Peyton for Cody, so that’s been great for him. He’s a heck of an athlete. I
think he’s learning. He’s starting to get it and it’s starting to click for him. I’m excited to see how he develops during training
camp and on the season.”
On if he and Manning have chemistry
“I think so. We’ve been putting in a lot of work together. Whether it’s on the field or just being around each other, lifting or
conditioning—he throws little tidbits my way even when we’re not on the field. [For example], this is also a signal this or this is
also what we’ve done in the past. I think it’s been good. It’s kind of hard not to create chemistry right away with that guy. The
ball is always in the right spot and if I do something wrong he’s a great coach about giving good tips and how to improve on that.
I love it so far, I’m looking forward to more.”
