<\/p>\nWyoming TE Evan Svoboda to meet Thursday with Broncos. Audric Estime finds new life with Saints. Shanahan praises Greenlaw.<\/p>\n
PHOENIX \u2014 If Davis Webb learns how to call plays well as quickly as Kellen Moore did, the Broncos will have a much-improved offense in 2026.<\/p>\n
Moore became a first-time play caller with the Dallas Cowboys in 2019. The Cowboys finished No. 1 in total offense and No. 6 in scoring that year. Moore, who is entering his second season as the New Orleans Saints\u2019 head coach, was asked Monday by The Athletic\u2019s Nick Kosmider during the NFC\u2019s head coach breakfast if there was anything about play calling he didn\u2019t fully realize until he started doing it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe timing of everything,\u2019\u2019 Moore said. \u201cObviously, there\u2019s a play clock and it happens fast. You\u2019ve got a few seconds to make a decision you\u2019ve got to go.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Webb inherits a Broncos\u2019 offense that was No. 10 in yards with head coach Sean Payton calling the plays last season, but a disappointing No. 14 in scoring.<\/p>\n
It won\u2019t be easy for Webb just because he\u2019s the new guy. Moore was perhaps a victim of his early success. After his fourth season of calling plays for the Cowboys in 2022, he was essentially fired by head coach Mike McCarthy \u2013 it was officially stated as a mutual parting of ways \u2013 even though Dallas was still No. 4 in scoring and No. 11 in total offense.<\/p>\n
Moore rebounded. He was the offensive play caller for the Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles in 2024, an accomplishment that landed him his first head coaching gig last year with the Saints.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach and every week, just like a player, you get more and more comfortable with it,\u2019\u2019 said Moore, who like Webb was a seasoned NFL backup\/No. 3 quarterback before immediately transitioning to quarterbacks coach. \u201cYou go through more experiences both positively and negatively. You\u2019re going to have calls you love, you\u2019re going to have calls you want back. It\u2019s going to happen every game no matter how long you call them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBroncos to visit with Wyoming\u2019s Svoboda <\/p>\n
The Broncos will visit with a unique prospect Thursday when they meet with Wyoming quarterback-turned-tight end Evan Svoboda.<\/p>\n
A 9-game starter at quarterback for the Cowboys in 2024, Svoboda decided to switch to tight end his senior year after Wyoming coach Jay Sawvel committed to Kaden Anderson at quarterback. Svoboda is a superior athlete, as you might guess, with a tight end frame of 6-foot-5, 248 pounds. He tested well in the skill drills during his Pro Day. He also had 11 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown in his first year as a tight end last year, displaying enough promise for the Broncos to bring him for what\u2019s classified as a \u201clocal\u201d visit.<\/p>\n
The Green Bay Packers had Svoboda throw some during his workout this offseason, so he could carry some value as a third-string emergency quarterback. Remember, that was Taysom Hill\u2019s role with Sean Payton in New Orleans before evolving into a Swiss Army knife player.<\/p>\n
\nSaints rescue Estime <\/p>\n
Audric Estime was a power running back out of Notre Dame when the Broncos selected him in the fifth round of the 2024 draft. But Estime had some fumble issues early in his rookie season and despite decent games against the Chiefs and Chargers in defeat, he never quite fit in with Payton\u2019s system. Estime was waived by the Broncos following his second training camp last year, signed to the Eagles\u2019 practice squad and was released again two months later.<\/p>\n
The Saints signed him to their practice squad and two weeks later he was on their 53-man roster. He got significant playing time the final two games, combining for 157 yards rushing off 35 carries with a touchdown, along with five catches for 47 yards.<\/p>\n
\u201cCredit to Audric, he came in the middle of the season to be really quickly out there on the field playing at a real high level,\u2019\u2019 Moore said. \u201cI think credit to his preparation. He did an excellent job there and he\u2019s part of a running back room where we have some depth now because of this. It\u2019s real beneficial, I\u2019m fired up for him. He performed real well late in the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nShanahan on Greenlaw <\/p>\n
Just as San Francisco general manager John Lynch spoke glowingly Sunday about the return of inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw after a year sabbatical in Denver \u2013 and exaggeration, yes, but that not that much \u2013 so, too, did 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan during the NFC coaches breakfast Monday when asked why he wanted the player back.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much we love Dre as a person, how much we love him as a player,\u2019\u2019 Shanahan said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the best linebackers I\u2019ve ever coached and I\u2019ve been around some good ones. What he\u2019s meant to the \u20189ers organization. We hated being a year away from him and we\u2019re glad he\u2019s back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wyoming TE Evan Svoboda to meet Thursday with Broncos.
