New Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio is known as old school and he has already told his players that training camp is going to be a bit of a throwback.
Running back Phillip Lindsay told Mike Klis of 9 News in Denver that Fangio has told the team that training is going to be old school, and Lindsay expects it will be run more like a 1960's training camp rather than what training camps are like today.
“He’s already had a few words for us,” Lindsay said to Mike Klis of 9 News in Denver. “He’s a no nonsense coach. He’s going to be old school. I wouldn’t be surprised if minicamp and training camp is like 1960s back in the day. We need it.”
Fangio might want to run training camp like the 1960s when players would practice for hours on end, but with the way the collective bargaining is written, that won't ever be allowed. In the 1960s, players had different jobs during the offseason so training camp was used to get players back into football shape and that's why they were worked so hard.
Players now are training year round so training camp is meant to get players to play a certain type of football and start to work together as a team, rather than getting the players in shape.
Even if it isn't run like a 1960s training camp, don't expect the Broncos players to get off easy and it will be interesting to see some of the techniques that Fangio implements.
