Sean Payton: Offensive focus needs to be on details, not who calls plays
When the Broncos changed offensive playcallers this offseason, it guaranteed a lot of attention would be paid to how the unit fared with offensive coordinator Davis Webb calling the shots instead of head coach Sean Payton.
Sean Payton, the head coach of the Denver Broncos, emphasized during his press conference on Wednesday that the team's focus should be on the specifics and details of each offensive play, rather than questioning who is responsible for calling the plays. This stance comes after the Broncos' 2-2 start this season, which has raised questions about the effectiveness of offensive coordinator Davis Webb, who took over playcalling from Payton this offseason.
Payton acknowledged Webb's quick understanding of the team's strategies but stressed that the most crucial aspect is evaluating the reasons behind successful or unsuccessful plays. He reiterated his point multiple times, reiterating the need for the team to become "experts in the detail" to reach championship football level.
While Payton did not rule out any changes on the operations side, it seems unlikely that a return to Payton calling plays would happen anytime soon, given the current state of the team's performance.
