New Broncos coach Sean Payton opened his news conference Wednesday by explaining why there had been an emphasis on special teams during the day’s workout.
He wanted to make sure his punt coverage and return teams were prepared for Friday’s preseason opener versus the Cardinals. That meant less of Russell Wilson on the field for the fans in attendance at Centura Health Training Center in Centennial, Colo., the location of my eighth stop during my nine-team training camp tour. Or it might have been Englewood, Colo. (Google and Apple Maps said differently.)
I’m not sure about the city, but I was there Wednesday morning, and I saw enough of Wilson to know he had a productive practice. According to the local beat reporters, Wilson has had a strong week of camp after a shaky start.
