for the 2019 season."Good morning DeMarcus Ware Jersey , Broncos Country!Von Miller is back at Dove Valley with the rest of the Broncos (mostly) to begin voluntary OTAs under new head coach Vic Fangio and defensive coordinator Ed Donatell.And Miller has big plans for the upcoming season.BIG plans.As in 10 pounds bigger.The svelte edge rusher has decided his optimal weight is closer to 248 rather than the 236-238 he’s carried since the Super Bowl season.Miller noted that he doesn’t think his previous weight was a bad weight, but he’d like to try bigger.“It’s not bad, but I want to be 245 or 248. I’m right back at that now. Being 238 last year, I felt like that was a good weight for me. I played in the Super Bowl at 236, so I felt like that was a good weight for me,” Miller said, adding that he experimented with his weight and has been adding it on gradually.A potential concern would be whether that extra 10 pounds could prevent No. 58 from being as fast off the snap as he has been.The edge rusher acknowledged that it wouldn’t work for him to just add 10 pounds for the sake of 10 pounds.“When it comes to technique and skill, you can’t really put 10 pounds on. You have to have it, or you don’t,” he said. “It’s a totally different player from being 245 to 235. It’s a totally different game. I just wanted to get back to 245, and I’ve been doing it that way.”Miller indicated his reason for getting back to 245 is to give him more strength and power when going up against the offensive linemen (or usually two or three in his case).“I feel like for me, the difference between 235 and 245 is not really get-off, it’s not really speed, it’s not really getting hurt or getting injured, it’s not really agility or anything like that, or my moves,” he said. “It’s when you get locked up with an offensive lineman and where you’re able to go with that.”Where Miller would like to go is right through that lineman on the way to the QB.“[With] 235, you can go a certain direction with that when you’re locked in with an offensive lineman,” he said. “[At] 245, you can go just a little bit further with that. [At] 245 is where I want to be at. It’s still not much. It’s only 10 pounds. It’s not a lot, but I need that 10 pounds.”On our MHR Live podcast Tuesday night, Jess, Tim and I talked about whether the extra weight could be a concern for Miller’s speed to the quarterback. I’ll admit that I wonder if the extra weight will affect his “get-off” with the snap Dre’Mont Jones Jersey 2019 , but ultimately, I’m not too worried. It’s Von “QB-wrecker” Miller, and I’m pretty sure if the weight isn’t working for him, his new coach will let him know.“Coach Fangio, he’s all about technique, assignment, intensity and effort, and I like that,” Miller said. “He’s an outside linebacker guru, and he’s up next with me.”Horse TracksTrial by fire prepares WR Courtland Sutton for Year 2 improvementWhen Emmanuel Sanders went down with an injury late last year, Sutton became the Broncos' No. 1 wide receiver. That experience has given the second-round pick a different perspective as he heads into his second season.A better Von Miller? That's the goal for Miller, HC Vic Fangio“Coach Fangio, he’s all about technique, assignment, intensity and effort, and I like that,” Miller said. “He’s an outside linebacker guru, and he’s up next with me.”Broncos Phillip Lindsay details recovery from wrist sugeryPhillip Lindsay rode down an escalator toward a hotel ballroom wearing a custom designer suit, checkered white and gray with teal accents, plus two gold chains that swayed beneath his trademark brown afro.

(AP)The Denver Broncos don’t put their full pads on until Tuesday but they’re already a banged-up bunch.Newly signed receiver Corey ”Philly” Brown is in concussion protocol after hitting his head in the weight room and when the Broncos put on shoulder pads for the first time Monday several players hobbled off.”Football is played in pads, so to put the pads on and watch the guys bang a little bit is always fun,” coach Vance Joseph said. ”For the running game, and obviously stopping the run, the pads are critical.”Left tackle Garett Bolles and inside linebacker Brandon Marshall were among the casualties Monday.”Garett Bolles took a shot to the chin. He’s being evaluated for a head injury,” Joseph said, adding that Marshall ”had a minor wrist injury. He’s OK.”Cornerback Marcos Rios sat out with a sore hip and tight end Jeff Heuerman sat out with a sore knee, which Joseph said was strictly precautionary.The Broncos are also dealing with second-year wide receiver Carlos Henderson, who failed to report to training camp while dealing with what the team calls a family situation.Although Joseph has said it’s up to Henderson whether his career will continue, several members of the organization are keeping in touch with their absent teammate.”Lots of guys have called Carlos. (Wide Receivers) Coach Zach (Azzanni) has been calling him, I’ve been calling Carlos, his teammates have been,” Joseph said. ”Obviously, he’s having some family issues he’s working through and it’s really his timeline.”He can return any time he gets ready to return. It’s on him Dre’Mont Jones Denver Broncos Jersey , but his guys are supporting him, the coaches are supporting him. So we’re looking forward to having him back.”Henderson was a third-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech last year but he missed his rookie season with a hand injury. He missed much of the offseason program this year with a pulled hamstring and is a long-shot to even make the 53-man roster if he does return.Joseph said he has no timeline for Henderson to get back.”We’ve had some conversations about other things than football. He’s not ready for football right now, so we’re not talking about football a lot,” Joseph said. ”We’re doing a good job as a team of checking on him on a daily basis.”Things should ratchet up overall Tuesday when the Broncos also wear their thigh pads.”Any time we’re full pads, it’s like game day,” Joseph said. ”Every pad’s on, mouth guard, chin straps buckled, so it’ll look different as far as what they’re wearing, but the practice shouldn’t look that much different as far as the physical part of it.”Nose tackle Domata Peko, for one, appreciated finally getting to do some hitting in the trenches Monday.”That what it’s about, you know? We don’t play without shoulder pads, so when you get them on that’s when you really get to get real physical and do your job,” Peko said. ”Especially up front. In the trenches, you’ve got to have the pads on and feel that contact to see where you’re at and sharpen each other up.”It was a good first day of shells today. They call it shells, and then full pads tomorrow, but in the trenches, every time we put the pads on it’s pretty much full pads. It felt good today.”The Broncos will also be in full pads Wednesday.—
