Broncos shift to collaborative play-calling with Sean Payton assuming larger role
The Denver Broncos are moving to a more collaborative approach to play-calling, with head coach Sean Payton taking on increased responsibilities while offensive coordinator Davis Webb remains involved in game planning.
The Denver Broncos announced a change in their play-calling structure for the upcoming week, giving head coach Sean Payton a larger role in the process. According to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, the team will adopt a more collaborative approach, with offensive coordinator Davis Webb continuing to have a significant role in game planning and on game day.
"We are taking a more collaborative play-calling approach this week with HC Sean Payton having an increased role in the process," Schefter said.
Reports from other media outlets indicated that Webb will no longer be on the headset during games, suggesting a shift in responsibilities. The Broncos currently rank 27th in points per game and 21st in expected points added per play, reflecting challenges for the offense early in the season.
