How many times in your career has a guy on special teams made the team because of the last one or two preseason games. Q: There was a theory going into this strange training camp that it would be very difficult for undrafted guys and guys at the bottom of the roster to make the team this year with no preseason games. Our guys really did that today to finish practice. Really it comes through playing down after down with the right intensity and the right technique. We’ve done a lot of work with our guys with post-practice conditioning and trying to work through the drills to finish everything to build our endurance. You have to build in the football conditioning through playing football. You value the opportunity in camp like we had today where you can work on sustained drives. We definitely got some good quality work. I thought they finished the practice with a lot of intensity. Q: Did you see what you wanted after that point?Ī: Yeah, I thought the guys came out and they worked hard. I just wanted to make sure the players were aware of what we were trying to do at the end of practice, so they knew the speed of the drill and the emphasis of the drill. Little bit more of a move the field competitive period and then working some 2-minute end of the half, end of the game situations. What was the idea behind that and the message with that? Was that pre-planned or based on what you had seen previously throughout the practice?Ī: We were just coming off of special teams and wanted to make sure we just established the emphasis of what the rest of practice was. You kind of huddled them up and got into them a little bit. I think it was before the two-minute drill there. When we have more information, we will make sure we get it out to you. Darius wasn’t with us today, he was the only one not really present at practice. As we check them with a day up and a day down and take a little bit off of them right there. There’s a couple guys that we are monitoring as we go through training camp. I’m going to check with the trainers when I get back and see where all those guys are at. Darius Slayton, Jabrill Peppers, Spencer Pulley, and I think maybe Shane Lemieux and Rysen John?Ī: We had a couple guys dealing with some cramps. ![]() Q: Can you update us on the statuses of some guys we either saw not practice or came off early. That’s definitely something we have to work on as a team and improve there. We have to get it where we come off a day off and we start sharp. It could be a nice fit.A: The guys came out and they definitely ended with a good intensity at practice with competing at the end. From the 49ers, Saints to the Buffalo Bills he had helped as a complementary weapon who goes about his business and leads by example.Įmmanuel Sanders would be the perfect leader for a player such as Darnell Mooney, and Sanders would be the player that Tolbert wants in practice to show Mooney his method of coaching. However, wherever Sanders has gone, the team has he played for has been competitive. When the Broncos moved on from Tolbert, Sanders got into a heated discussion with his wide receiver coach and eventually asked out of Denver. ![]() Great retention for #Broncos.- Emmanuel Sanders January 13, 2017 □□□□□□□□ RT I'm told Tyke Tolbert will stay as #Broncos WR coach. When there were questions that Tolbert was going to be let go by the Broncos before the 2017 season, Sanders said he wanted him to stay, and exuded happiness when the team retained him. ![]() If someone had a strong recommendation to make for Emmanuel Sanders, it would be Tolbert, and if the aging Sanders was looking for a happy spot to finish his career, it could be helping his buddy Tolbert and helping Justin Fields. If you remember, Sanders struggled in Pittsburgh but his career took off once he signed in Denver. So, the two spent four years in the same room working every day. Emmanuel Sanders was with the Broncos from 2014 to 2019. Tolbert spent time with the Denver Broncos from 2011-2017. The Chicago Bears hired Tyke Tolbert to be their wide receivers coach. These three wide receivers have strong ties to the Chicago Bears’ coaching staff. Through connections in the NFL, there are plenty of players with relationships to coaches, executives, and more. While we start to understand the tendencies and style that Ryan Poles has as a General Manager, for now, we can only go on past relationships to find potential fits on the roster. When the Chicago Bears head to free agency it will be the first time this new regime and coaching staff looks to add players to the roster.
