Broncos OC Davis Webb: "Not ideal" to lose playcalling role, excited to see how we respond

Tap title to read story

Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Davis Webb addressed the media following head coach Sean Payton's decision to resume offensive play-calling duties after a two-and-two start to the season. Webb admitted that being stripped of the play-calling role after just four games was 'not ideal,' noting the small sample size against a tough opening stretch of opponents whose first four opponents combined for a thirteen-and-three record. Despite the disappointment, Webb expressed excitement regarding how the team and offensive staff will respond heading into their upcoming matchup. While Webb will no longer call plays, he retains substantial responsibilities in game planning, weekly operations, and assisting Payton. At thirty-one years old, Webb remains a key member of Denver's coaching staff as they seek offensive consistency under quarterback Bo Nix.
