Always easy to tell who works at it and who doesn\u2019t<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThat was crazy wasn\u2019t it?\u201d Payton told reporters. \u201cI can\u2019t help myself though. When I see something like that, I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s just, I have a pause and then it\u2019s like, \u2018What are you watching?\u2019 Just watch the tape. Here\u2019s the thing though. I think \u2014 and this is for any player \u2014 sometimes when you\u2019re on the East Coast, you don\u2019t see, whatever, but when you get to see. . . . I remember the first time I ever saw a Percy Harvin or Adrian Peterson, it was completely different than \u2014 so to see someone live and to actually watch them is. . . . <\/p>\n
\u201cGetting back to your question relative to \u2014 they\u2019re just \u2014 you guys grind at it, but now you have so many variations. You\u2019ve got the basement podcast with the beer logo and I just couldn\u2019t help myself with that one. It was silly. Everything was the opposite of what he was saying and the worst part was he played at Oregon. I don\u2019t even know the player, so.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schwartz did indeed play college football at Oregon. As did Nix. Payton\u2019s point is that the common bond should make Schwartz far less likely to be clueless about Nix\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
The bigger message is that Payton is willing to defend his guy. Which speaks to the quality of a joined-at-the-hip relationship that enters its third season with the Broncos firmly in the Super Bowl window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Broncos coach Sean Payton used Twitter this week to defend quarterback Bo Nix against a community-noted take from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":829942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-829941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/829942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
