Corey Parker:
“It is strange that I am reading about it. Those things I believe should be kept in-house. That’s just how it is. Over the years you have got to listen to your players. You have got to understand where they are coming from. But at the end of the day you have also got a job to do as well. Just because there is trial games coming up doesn’t mean you have got to be feeling 100 per cent.”
Andrew Voss:
It's an ingredient for failure. If they start the season bad, these little jigsaw puzzle pieces will all be put together. They have general soreness, they’ve been training too hard in the off-season.”

"It’s an ingredient for drama, because we’ll come back to this story. Certainly when the spotlight’s on the Broncos, and certainly it is with Kevin Walters. He’s one of the few off contract coaches this year, he needs a fast start. Adam Reynolds and Payne Haas were rested last week from the Broncos’ trial game against the Titans due to general soreness. When you start to hear stories about coaches listening to players wanting to back off the training due to demands from the high-performance staff, it is concerning. I just wonder with the longer break, the players were given ten weeks off, if the Broncos and other clubs have jammed more into a shorter pre-season.”
