One OTA emphasis for Broncos’ Sean Payton? Working through 43 unique in-game situations: “There’s a rhyme and a reason to everything”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:33:08 GMT

Forty minutes into Thursday’s OTA practice, Denver hadn’t shifted out of walk-through mode.Instead, coach Sean Payton and the Broncos spent a good, long while talking through rarely encountered situations.“There’s a board where there’s 43 things that are unique end-of-game, end-of-half, sometimes middle-of-the-game situations that may come up once every four weeks. Maybe once every two years,” Payton explained afterward. “We begin teaching those and not just to those involved. In a perfect world, the whole bench is going to know what to expect at the end of game in certain situations, so we spent all of the walkthrough on about eight different situations.“Training camp, each day we’ll take two. We’ll review. They have to know those cold and they have to know what we’re thinking so that, when they come up, they can execute.”Several veteran players said they appreciated the work at this stage in the offseason.“I’ve had a lot of coaches here over the past years and Coach Payton is a gu...

By LARRY NEUMEISTER (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — The $5 million awarded to a columnist by a jury that concluded she was sexually abused in the 1990s by Donald Trump in a New York luxury department store should be reduced to less than $1 million, the former president’s lawyers told a judge Thursday, saying the award was grossly excessive and based on “pure speculation.”The lawyers noted in a written submission that a Manhattan federal court jury last month rejected a rape claim made by the writer, E. Jean Carroll, concluding instead that she had been sexually abused in spring 1996 in the store’s dressing room.“Such abuse could have included groping of Plaintiff’s breasts through clothing, or similar conduct, which is a far cry from rape,” the lawyers wrote.They said the $2 million granted by the jury on a sexual abuse claim was “grossly excessive” and another $2.7 million issued for compensatory defamation damages was &...
