With the announcement that Vic Fangio will become the next head coach of the Broncos www.authenticsdenverbroncos.com , more dominoes have begun to fall in regards to the rest of the coaching staff.It has been long hinted at by John Elway and others in the media that Gary Kubiak will not only have a role with the team this year, but a significant role in running the offense. Mike Klis reiterated this yesterday in his radio interview that Fangio being hired essentially allows him to focus on the defense, and Kubiak to run the offense.Now that has become official and confirmed, post-Fangio hiring, by Adam Schefter.It still remains to be seen how involved Kubiak will be and if he’ll carry the title of offensive coordinator or he’ll cede play calling duties to someone else while he manages the overall direction of the offense.[Update] Currently, according to Mike Klis Denver Broncos T-Shirt , it sounds like the team would prefer to have a younger coach carry the title of offensive coordinator and be groomed by Gary Kubiak as the offensive mastermind. This makes sense not only for Gary Kubiak’s health but also for Denver to be able to bring up another young offensive mind without fully handing over the reins to the offense to him, bringing him along slowly.What is clear now, though, is the direction Denver is moving on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball, and who will be orchestrating those respective sides.Stay tuned as more details emerge.[Update] Klis has confirmed that the team, after discussions with its new head coach Fangio Denver Broncos Hats , is going to go with Gary Kubiak as the offensive coordinator in 2019.Could Case Keenum retire a Bronco? It’s obviously a bit early to think about Case Keenum’s legacy in Denver. The man’s only just completed his first preseason with the Denver Broncos, but Case left no doubt what he hopes to do.Case Keenum says Broncos can be 'pretty special,' and he wouldn't mind retiring in Denver - CBSSports.comThere’s been a ton of speculation about the Broncos new quarterback all offseason and opinions are pretty split on Keenum. Can he pull off another season like he did last year with the Minnesota Viking’s or will he revert to the career journeyman he’d been previously?I took a long look at Keenum over the summer for GIF Horse and the link to that is here, but I’ll add a couple thoughts I’ve had since watching Keenum in the Musgrave offense this preseason.He looks comfortable in both the offense and pocketKeenum trusts his receivers to make the play and delivers in the face of pressure. It’s a strength of his. It helps when you throw to the 6’3 Courtland Sutton, who’s earning a lot of “baby Megatron” hype for his work this summer, but in all 3 games Keenum played he displayed trust in his pass catchers to make plays on the ball. With the youngsters like Sutton and Daesean Hamilton as well as the returned health of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders this Broncos receiving corps could rival or even surpass what Keenum had with the Vikings.One thing that bears monitoring is how Musgrave manages that gunslinger mindset. In Minnesota Pat Shurmur mixed in a ton of routes where Keenum could check the ball down if things got hot in the pocket. It helped lead to Keenum’s career year as far as completion percentage.While Denver doesn’t have a tight end as accomplished as Kyle Rudolph Denver Broncos Hoodie , Devontae Booker has earned the coaching staff’s trust for his work on passing downs while rookies Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman both show promise as receivers. Musgrave also proved time and again he’s happy to utilize running backs in the passing game during his time coordinating the Oakland offense.The Keenum-Sanders connection could be specialThese are back to back plays. Keenum has looked to Sanders early and often in the preseason.Sanders mentioned this summer that Keenum is a guy that will work after practice. Sort of like one of Sander’s previous QBs. Questions remain, of course. For one, there are fans that are far more excited to see what the Broncos have in Chad Kelly than the 30-year-old veteran. Mike Florio has already asked the question:When will Chad Kelly start for the Broncos? – ProFootballTalk What do you think Broncos country? Still Grazin’? Other Broncos stories to catch up on.Royce Freeman named the starting running back.I called this one back in May, but Freeman’s gone from a dark horse OROY candidate to one of the favorites since. He’ll be the first Broncos rookie to start at running back since Terrell Davis. In other Freeman related news, he’s changing his jersey to 28.Broncos 10-man practice squad finalized.I for one am beyond pleased the Broncos managed to stash Jeff Holland. I didn’t think he’d make it past teams like the Packers who are really light on the edge. The Broncos tried to trade Paxton Lynch, but no one wanted him.People are still debating who’s fault Lynch’s fall from grace is on my Twitter feed. Leave the dead horse lie. At least he’ll have time to help his girlfriend sell her house now. Su’a Cravens to the IR. The hope is that Cravens’ can make it back in 8 weeks Youth Customized Denver Broncos Jerseys , but it’s the same injury he had last year that started the controversy in Washington. A real bummer, as Cravens has become a bit of a favorite to help the Broncos D slow down tight ends and running backs. Both Jeff Essary and I have been giddy about his promise all summer. Kevin Hogan signed to replace Paxton Lynch. If the preseason NFL Gamepass provided an All-22 I had given some thought to doing a quick film review of Hogan’s work with Washington. Alas it doesn’t. Hogan succeeded Andrew Luck at Stanford and is one of the many, many quarterbacks to have played for the Browns since 1999. He went from their practice squad to his first start in less than 6 weeks back in 2016.
