Thanks for tuning in making us your first listen however you choose to do so it's back to school kind of here

It's the tip of Broncos NFL PA report card for the 2025 NFL season

Released we'll go through on today's episode of the show Sean Payton receiving the same grade that he did last season

Not improving in that category. We'll give some context behind that but Broncos ownership Broncos GM George Payton receiving high marks in

Their grading category on top of that Broncos coaches had a lot of improvement in their grading and on top of that

We'll go through where the Broncos improved in a lot of major categories as they look to get even better grades going to

2026 if it leaks. I'm Cody Roach credential Broncos reported from Ohio high sports joined as always by sir

Battinger site expert over there predominantly orange dot com ESPN's Kaylyn Collar she received all the information all the NFL

PA report card grades and she was thankful enough to publish it all the way to ESPN where we got the screenshots of it and

We learned a lot about how the Broncos how players specifically and these were given out in the months of November and December

How they graded the Denver Broncos and almost every category top the bottom

But let's start things off there by focusing on Sean Payton's grade

Sean received a B for the second consecutive year in a role

By the players in terms of grading and people also have to factor into the context of rankings if he ranked 26 out of 32

Coaches you'll see there are a lot of coaches with A's or some coaches with A pluses A minuses B pluses B's

Like it it is skewed in a sense. It doesn't necessarily tell the full story

Yeah, and Sean Payton's grade quite frankly. I mean a B is not a bad grade

Necessarily, but Sean ranks pretty low in this category in particular

I mean when we're talking about overall among all NFL head coaches like he was just above some of the guys that got fired

He was 27th out of 32 in terms of his efficiency with time ranking and then when you look at like locker room feedback

Addressing team needs he was ranked 29 out of 32 so like Cody

I mean, this is it's not necessarily good news for Sean Payton

I know that nothing has changed from last year. So I guess it's nice that it didn't get worse in terms of that overall grade

But I would be really interested to know, you know, what is it like working for him?

Why is this the perception? What are the players because this is a group in the Broncos roster that is largely been

Intact for the last three years and if they're the ones voting on this

I mean, what are they trying to say like what what do you make of this because to me I was I got a little second-hand

Embarrassment reading this and thinking like oh dang like if that was me and I was ranked to that low on this list

Like that would make me

Uncomfortable so I'm interested to hear your perspective on that

Yeah, I mean it doesn't bother me and I think it's because this is the role that Sean takes on Sean

Essentially takes on the role of being bad cop and his coaches are good cop

We've talked about that dynamic here on the show before and so Sean

I mean he sets the standard and look I think where the Broncos are at right now Sean Payton is a very large reason

There is a method to the madness long

Calis training camp practices, you know, you travel to you know the green Briar at times or you know

You're gonna go do stuff and London like you have a structure

Sean has his days or players days at the team facility structure to a point where there's a mission behind it

There's not a lot of time where guys are just laying around there's times of recovery rest and treatment things like that

But it is very much like hey, this is your job players are at the team facility for probably

12 to 15 hours per day in season whether that's meetings lifting practice everything else in between

There is an expectation. Hey, there's work to get done here

And I think that's good though. I think the Broncos need that type of structure

So Sean like when you go through this survey and where it says the 80% of Broncos players feel their head coach Sean Payton is efficient with their time

That is a good ranking. That's a good category there because he wants him to maximize everything now

He's not gonna put them through the gauntlet so a sense to burn these guys out like he doesn't want to do that

Sean ultimately wants just guys to be at the facility doing their job without burning them out

He doesn't want coaches to miss some of their more important events as well

Like there's a good balance to be had there

But it's like hey when you're here at the team facility

We're doing this this this and this and it's not negotiable

And that's where I think it comes to the fact where it says players feel that Payton is moderately receptive to locker room feedback on the team's needs

ranking 29.32

That's more so

These guys say Sean can we do things this way? You know Sean is not necessarily like it's not a democracy with Sean

And it's not a dictatorship either. I want to be very clear. It's no. Hey, this is what we're doing

This is why we're doing it and I think when we look at the results at the end of the season Sarah

15 total wins this season winning a playoff game getting the AFC championship game

That is the opportunity cost players are giving up some comfort ability for the idea of going a little bit further

So for me, I don't necessarily view this as a bad thing you look at the AFC West counterpart

Jim Harbaugh he got a C-plus

Sarah in this

Ranking category which I think if we look at like the social media perception of Harbaugh

He were like man, he's just such a great raw raw coach, you know this now

But there's a reason like he got ranked the C-plus there are also some coaches

I believe if it was I think Mike McDaniel

I think he got an A minus he got fired or he got a B plus there was something along those lines

But he also saw some fired coaches have higher grades so to speak than Sean Payton at that

So I think the beauty is really in the eye of the beholder

But there's so much context behind these grades that not everybody I think is aware of I think unless you know

You're covering the team you pay attention to the team and certainly Broncos fans have been staying in tune all year

With what's been going on with Broncos and was Sean so I think that they may be understanding

I think that's why there's some confusion about a B grade

Yeah, no doubt and I think that that helps clarify it a ton which is big

You know, we know Sean Payton is not for everybody, right?

That extends from I guess to the players to the media to other coaches things like that

I think that that's okay

I think that he runs things the way that he does because he learned from Bill Parcels

Like he's learned from the best and so when you implement those sorts of things

There are non-negotiables that don't necessarily fly with everybody in a workplace

And that's just the way that it is and

The success speaks for itself

I want to talk to about the locker room getting a D grade Cody

I think last the year before that it was an F

I remember that very distinctly because the Broncos locker room has been tight quarters

It's old it's outdated

That's why they're getting the new training facility

And I think that this is going to be the area that we look at and say hey from a 2024

Until 2026 the locker room the facilities the amenities that players have at their

disposal is going to it's going to be the biggest glow up around the NFL

You're going to go from an F in 2024 to now a D in 2025

And it's going to be an A plus most likely by the end of 2026

Yeah, and look I think I've gotten a lot of questions about this

Why is the locker room right? It's a little this is not the stadium locker room

This is the team facility locker room folks by the way and the reason that it got a D

The reason I hadn't had net before is space

It really is space where players lockers if we're interviewing let's say Nick Benito

It's a big scrum right it takes up about three players locker spaces

And so they have to wait for us to be done interviewing players in order to get to their locker to get to their stuff

And like just the space there's not a lot of privacy

Because of that that is the reason why it graded out so low

And people are like what are they doing directives like folks they're building a new team facility

Have we not been paying attention that in May which is the team facilities expect to be done sometime in May

We'll get a tour of it

It is going to be significantly better

That's why the Bronco's ownership they got these first round of grades

They're like you know what we are going to prove this we're going to improve improve player foot traffic

We want to do this another one. I want to touch on here is treatment of families

Okay, I think a lot of people's like all they treat families poor if they had a D1 year last year's grade in

2024 was a C- this year it was a B and the biggest reason for these and this is why I think

There needs to be clarification in the wording of it treatment of families

It had more so to do with after games

Do players and their families have a place to congregate and meet that was not the case necessary the Broncos

They ended up clearing out this room next to the the press conference room in

You know on the on the lower field level floor where families and kids they get to go in there

And then players get to go see their family after the game they they've made room for that now

Obviously this is something that it's hard to do because you can't just build on to the already current stadium

That is there that's why if they build a new stadium

This is going to be factored into the equation as well players will have a built-in place for their families to go

And then the other part of it has to do with there being access to daycare the Broncos on Saturdays before games

They have families out to practice. It's always a family day so to speak so families get a go out there and watch practice and be around there

so

Denver has taken necessary steps here to improve this which I think like when you look at treatment of families

But like

Depending on the grade people are like wow they must treat people poorly

It's just it's resources. It's amenities. That's really what it is at the end of the day the Broncos are very much

All in especially with the Walton Pender family ownership group on making sure that families have as much access to

Everything as possible there. They want to see make sure families are treated well. They really believe in that

So dig that's an area that they've obviously done a really good job of trying to rectify and obviously improve that grade there

So to speak so

Those are the interesting elements of this report card here

But Broncos ownership general manager George Payton they receive high marks from Broncos players will go through that survey here on today's episode of the show

This episode is sponsored by better help marches at time to celebrate women especially around international women's day and to recognize

Just how much they carry at work in relationships and families and in all the unseen roles that they step into every single day

It's easy to celebrate this strength, but it's important to make space for their emotional well being and honestly that goes for all of us

My wife she's awesome. She carries a lot of water and certain aspects of her life

She's got her own business that she runs and that is a lot of pressure

Denver Broncos ownership and general manager George Payton made the deans list on this year's

grades that are handed out the NFL PA report cards

They were leaked and certainly you feel good about where the Broncos are at in terms of the people in charge of building this franchise from the top on

Down ownership George Payton got high grades. We're gonna talk about that break down exactly what those grades mean on today's episode

Lockdown Broncos and we want to say thank you to all of you every dayers out there that make us your first listen of the day every

Single day if you haven't already done so Cody and I want to invite you to join the every day or all access club

Dot com link in the show notes as well Broncos country

We appreciate you considering supporting the show in that way

Cody the Dean's list is out and the Broncos owners are on it. I think that

These are it's a group of people that's got a lot of background in the education realm

They obviously had to work really hard to get to the point that they're in in terms of the business world

And all the things that they've been able to do in terms of getting to the point to being able to purchase the Denver Broncos

So we know these are some good students out there and when they get a bad grade

I know I know what it's like because I'm married to one and

If a student gets a bad grade on a report card that's that takes pride in that they're gonna be like

What do I got to do to get an a plus? You know, what do I do? I got to do extra credit Broncos ownership Cody

I mean they knock it out of the park and

Their grades in this report card reflect that yeah, I mean for them to get an a plus that's huge last year

They got an a this year. They got an a plus and that so much of this grade

What factors into it is obviously ownership's

Commitment to winning the players

Almost 99% of the players believe that Broncos ownership is fully committed to giving them the on field resources

The off-field resources everything necessary to win

There's a commitment to that but also the community involvement away from football

The Broncos love that obviously the ownership is as invested in the community as anything here

But more importantly, it's you have an ownership group Sarah that is boots on the ground

I mean Greg Penner carry Walton Penner. They come in they talk to players individually. They ask players

What do they like what you know? What's what don't they like?

Yeah, I can't go into the extent of that with some players what they have told me those conversations ever regarded around

But you have an ownership group that wants to hear what's going on like they've invested so much money in this team

And obviously they're still committing that type of money you know into the day-to-day when it comes to the team facility

Obviously the building a brand new team facility that's gonna be ready here and the next couple of months

Obviously, there's ideas about a potential new stadium that has players excited has the fan base certainly excited

And questionable in some regards there, but this is also a privately funded effort

Which I think as well that you know players and fans certainly appreciate that

But I just think the commitment to going around and getting player feedback is something that

Players believe they have a very hands-on ownership group

But it's also to the point where they don't metal in things that maybe they don't understand

And that's what I really like about Greg Penner and carry Walton Penner

They're involvement without

Mudding the waters of things that they don't necessarily understand

Right, and I think that's absolutely huge for

Well, you see a team like the Dallas Cowboys where Jerry Jones does metal in everything

And he gets to the point of making it personal with their best defensive player and all of a sudden now

You go from having a chance to compete for a championship to you got no shot because your defense is one of the worst in the NFL

I mean, that's the opposite of what you want in terms of ownership and yeah

You want your owners to want your team to win you want your owners to be willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win

And that's what I think you get from the ownership group

It's not okay. We're gonna you know, we're gonna trade our best defensive player because he wants too much money

What they do is Cody they're like hey

The field needs to be replaced. We're gonna have it replaced in a just a blink of a blink of an eye right there at the drop of a hat

We're gonna do that or you know, we need this equipment for this high school, you know cohort that we support

We're gonna just invest all this money in the equipment or we want to go out and free agency

We got the cash on hand to be able to do exactly that. What do you guys want to do here?

I think that what this ownership group has done

To reshape the culture and to bring the spirit of Pat Bowen back into the mix

It's like we want to win. We want to be the best team in the NFL. We'll do whatever it takes to do that

And they're not they're not meddling. They are putting their assets toward there's such a big difference between that

It's like you don't you don't know necessarily all the football things if you're Greg penner, right?

Greg knows that Greg is like I'm gonna let George Payton make the football decisions and Sean Payton make the football decisions

But I'm gonna give these guys whatever assets I can in order to make those football things happen

That's what I love about this is that there's a self-awareness

amongst billionaires that doesn't typically exist of what you see and what you assume about people with that much

wealth and that much you know success in the financial realm the business room

They have that level of self-awareness and humility that's like they'll put they'll go into the locker room after the games

They'll tap up the players after the games and that's that's what it's all about but man it kind of is to a degree

Yeah, it shows that they care and that's something that players obviously acknowledge and look

I'll say this quickly as a former high school coach

I love the fact that they did the all-in all-covered initiative which grants every

Player for every high school football program new helmets helmets that are up to standard with that really are invested in player safety

For our future generation of potential NFL players college football players

And even as it's going they've grown the game too with making girls high school flag football and actually

State sanctioned sport here in the state of Colorado that initiative has been so huge as well

They're very invested in growing the game, which is important

Let's get to George Payton here actually, you know also kind of that because we talked about the field

The home game field was given an a grade by the players which to your point you acknowledge it

They make sure the field stays fresh that it's not run down

I know that was a huge issue for some teams in this survey across the NFL

But uh the Broncos not a problem for them

George Payton a grade this is kind of a new category. They didn't include the general manager in prior years grading

George gets an a and I can tell you this based on talking to all the players that I talked to man at the end of the season

During the end of the year exit interviews George is very open very honest about player situations where the team is at

He doesn't just give them lip service

That's one thing I've heard players said they really appreciate about George is that he is honest and he he does ask them

What is it that you feel like we could do more for you? What can we do better like what did you what did we not do well enough for you like

Those are the types of things he goes into and I think George is very very close here sir to a contract extension

I think so too and deservedly so I know that a lot of fans will say well

What about the Nathaniel Hacker higher?

Well, we know he was trying to get Aaron Rogers to the Broncos which pretty much everybody in the fan base wanted not a hundred percent

But I'd say probably 98 percent of the fan base wanted Aaron Rogers so George was trying to do that

I mean there's reports out there that say that's what was happening there

Well, what about the Russell Wilson trade? Well, didn't we all want George to take a swing at the quarterback position?

Didn't we all believe him when he said this team is a quarterback away?

It says yep roster as a sleeping giant

We all wanted that at any cost in to get the next version of Peyton Manning so I don't fault George for the Nathaniel Hacker higher because

I think that those paths were supposed to lead to Aaron Rogers

I don't fault George for the Russell Wilson trade because we all wanted that kind of move to happen

And the way that this team is recovered and rebounded is astounding the drafting probably needs to get a little bit better

Obviously, we've seen like okay, hey the rookies coming in are they being drafted to actually play or what's the vision with some of these guys?

You know, so I think honestly you can be fair in critiquing George Peyton

But the way that this roster is built right now man, they're built for some long-term success

So I love what he's doing with the team and rewarding players that was something he declared right when he was hired

He wants to draft develop get guys to second contracts. That is happening actively every year over year

So I think it's great. He's done a great job and I think the grade is is worthy

Do you know what I think to be funny like the amount of times we see the goalposts move surrounding George Peyton right when Sean Peyton came in

It was oh George is on his way out like Sean's you know, and then still we still see it like Sean has complete say and and the roster and all this stuff

And then you know when it comes to drafting like if they're draft picks that you know, I think fans don't like they're like oh George Peyton

Did terrible like when it's a good draft pick. It's obvious Sean Peyton did such a great job

Huh, I wonder how that works folks. It doesn't necessarily work that way. This is on both George and Sean

What happens in info draft not one way towards the negative not one way towards the positive

Collectively, they're both responsible. I think that's always important to point out here

But coming up next year Broncos country Sarah and I are going to talk about Broncos position coaches actually great

Hi, including Joel and Barti getting a higher grade than Sean Peyton. Hmm. We'll bring it down. You know today's episode of the show

Hey, it's Matt Dairy from the Lockdown Lions podcast the people I love depend on me if I'm gone

The Debra Broncos coordinators this past season graded out well in the NFL PA player report card and a better overall indication of a grade

How they've been playing the role of good cop bad copic comparison to Sean Peyton's big grade

We'll discuss that where the Broncos improved in terms of categories and so much more here on today shows want to say

Thank you once again to everyone in Broncos country for tuning in making a sure first listen however you choose to do so

We appreciate you so much sir. I kind of tease it right before we got to this segment here

Jolombardi receiving and a better grade so to speak then Sean Peyton did and a minus this past season

I know some Broncos fans are asking is this great about Davis Webber is it about Jolombardi?

This these surveys were conducted back in November and December of last year

So not necessarily an indication of Davis Web though. He does fall into one specific category. We'll get into

Yeah, I think when you look at the a minus given the Jolombardi

I mean, obviously he's done a great job to be able to stick around in the NFL

It's not like he's just been on Sean Peyton's coaching staffs for his entire coaching career, right?

So he's been an asset to a number of different NFL teams may not be the best play collar, right?

I mean, we saw him with the chargers and we've seen him with other teams

He may not be the best play collar

But I think it's fair to say that he's a good coach and he's he's worth having a route like we know the the only reason the Broncos let him go

Is because they wanted to promote Davis Web and Jolombardi wasn't necessarily getting fired up in the organization

You know, so give him an opportunity. He's already landed on his feet elsewhere

I'm sure it was fine working for him. I'm sure I'm sure he brings a lot to the table in terms of his knowledge of the game

His understanding of offense in the quarterback position and all those sorts of things

So it doesn't surprise me honestly that he was given a good grade because I think there's a reason why he's been around for such a long time

Well, I encourage some of you and Sarah if you want to do this if you have time

I encourage Broncos fans to go back to some Jolombardi press conferences from this past season

I want you and you can obviously find them on the Broncos YouTube page

But find the ones at Jolombardi that run long and then look the next week

It runs a little bit shorter the thing I appreciate as a reporter when we got to talk to Jolombardi

Joe wasn't afraid to answer some of things Sean wouldn't necessarily answer

I think at times that got Joe into trouble maybe behind the scenes because we'd get like a seven-minute presser one week

Joe the next week would be a two-minute and twenty-second press conference

So it was more so like hey you said too much now I'm cutting your time on that

That's kind of our perception here in the media of kind of what we saw

But Joe was always willing to answer some of those questions about you know

Bose performance the running backs the receivers, you know

I think that there were also sometimes where

We would ask a question about maybe a unit or the group that was struggling

And I felt like Joe would give us an honest answer as to like what they need to do to not struggle

And that's something I always appreciated about him as I mentioned before

These Broncos coaches and I don't know if Sean said this directly to them

But like I said, I think Sean's role is to be the bad cop to be the guy that makes things tough

And you need the coaches to be good cop so to speak so I think Jolombardi was a good bridge between offensive players

And Sean at times last year and as you mentioned there, you know, there's no way that like

Lombardi's gonna lose the title of offensive coordinator than all of a sudden rise up in the coaching ranks

Or like the positional ranks in terms of where the Broncos are at it was hey, it was a new opportunity

And we got this young guy there that we really need to see something out of he's gonna be calling plays this year

And I think that's the direction that Sean ultimately went there is with Davis

And I think that's why we saw the grade obviously that Joe Lombardi got his he was just

I don't want to say a yes, man

He did a lot of stuff that Sean said, but he also did a lot of stuff that was in benefit of the players too

Yeah, no doubt and that's where like you said the good cop bad cop is necessary

But it's I love Star Wars Cody you know that the listeners know that there's got to be balance in the force

You have to have coaches that bring balance to the force

So if Sean patents the bad cop you got to have guys who are good cop speaking of

You know players

Can't speak highly enough of frankly

I'm surprised that Vance Joseph didn't get an A plus I know he got an A on this report card

I'm a little surprised that he didn't get an A plus based on the way players talk about him

Based on the way players were campaigning to have him back

I mean obviously nobody is unanimously liked you and I know this

Yeah, it's the nature of our job. So

You know as much as you want to think that Vance he was one of the best

Assistant coaches in the entire NFL last year. So like that like I said

I'm a little surprised he didn't get an A plus on this report card and A still very good

But what what was maybe missing to get him up to the A plus on this one

It's a great question too because I also wonder too how do offensive players vote when it comes to the defensive coordinator

So to speak like oh this guy's just dialing up the blitz. I don't like that

I'm gonna mark him down or it could be maybe a player who believes he should be a starter

That's not starting maybe that's what factor do I mean there's so much context in this that we probably don't know and

Will never know. It's just hey, these are the grades. We have some context behind it, but not the full thing

I agree. I feel like Vance would have deserved an A plus

I mean

I talked to the Broncos defensive players quite a bit in the regular season man nothing but high praise for VJ

I don't think I've ever came across any starter that was disgruntled about their role or frustrated by what they were doing defensively

I think very much at times last season like this defense had Vance is back in a sense like if there was ever any kind of like

Strife between he and Sean Payton. I'm not saying that there was I'm saying that if there was ever a situation where

Maybe Sean was that wrong about something, but you know, you see them sometimes on the camera arguing or whatever

Maybe your Sean may seem passionate like the defense will always have Vance is back like that's that's just the nature of it

Like these guys will go to war for Vance and that has nothing to do with anything bad about Sean Payton

It's just that type of relationship and dynamic that certainly has been built and you saw what Jonathan Cooper kind of spilled the beans a little bit about Vance's

Decision essentially to stay and not take a head coaching job

You could tell that these players are so excited about that. They feel like they're growing here

Under Vance's direction, which I find to be good. They're in Rizzy

He got an eight-minus as well. I think obviously

Players like Rizzy, you know the way he coaches. He does coach things hard

But I think that he's very fair and balanced as a coach in terms of players that I've talked to

Just seeing him coach. I think he he's willing to give us answers

You know, so to speak on uncertain areas that one of the special teams was struggling last year

He was very open and saying that's on me. I got to fix this and so I and there were times where hey guess what?

They went out and they fixed it

So there is a level of accountability there position coaches though got to be which I'm very curious

I wonder which coaches kind of influenced this great. It's not Davis Web

I know those guys love Davis Web, but we saw a couple of coaching changes

I'm curious to what led to the B grade here the only thing we can do right now is speculate

I know I would be as well and like you said we saw Carrie Colbert the wide receivers coach

He was fired this off season

Addison Lynch a defensive backs coach was let go and then of course

You know like Jim Leonard would be in that mix from last year. He was another defensive backs coach

There's a lot a Zach Streif who is one of the you know assistant head coaches on the team the run game coordinator offensively

Very interesting Cody because I feel like the Broncos have assembled a pretty darn good

You know group of coaches other than a couple of guys who obviously got let go

After the year was over

But that's an interesting one right because like you said players are voting on this and what's the perception from other position groups

What is I'm Jim arcane seems like he does a great job with the past rushers right and I mean

There's just a lot of different layers to that that okay

Somebody must have had a really low grade to bring it down because you feel like there's enough guys to bring it back up

I wonder if they gave this grading law like hey, how would you rate your position coaches give it one grade

I imagine that players probably received a

You know, maybe it was split up by position coaches right like position groups had to vote on their specific position versus

You don't have all I'm invoting on the DB coach and how he's doing right

But certainly maybe one of those players or a couple of players

You know had a bad grade and it does bring down the overall collective score of position coaches

And maybe they tally up all that at the end between all of them and then you have your average concurrent grade across the coaching staff

So maybe that is something that that went into it, but uh overall the one thing I do want to highlight the Broncos

In this year's NFLPA report card. They improved in eight categories

They got marked down in two in comparison. I believe it was nutritionist being one of them nutritionist dietician

They took a step back in that and

That there were the other one I can't remember off the top my head, but it wasn't necessarily

You know an important one so to speak

But they improved they upgraded their grade from last year in eight categories

That is huge

That's probably going to get better as well when the new team facility opens in the month of May here
