A member of the Denver Broncos couldn’t be happier than Cam Newton and Stephon Gilmore are likely to play this Sunday.
For what? Because you don’t need room for an apology.
Sunday Week 6’s game between the Broncos and the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium originally scheduled for last Sunday, however, positive tests for COVID-19 within the Patriots forced the postponement of the game.
This got Newton and Gilmore out of the coronavirus, and for Broncos offensive lineman Dalton Risner, that’s a smart thing to do.
“You know what? I’d move on to Foxboro and beat Cam Newton and Gilmore in the Patriots that would pass and not beat Newton and Gilmore,” Risner said, through WEEI. com. “What if we had all our players?” Because we’re a wonderful football team, I know. No matter who starts on the defensive, no matter who starts out as a quarterback, we have to pass out and play Broncos football.
“We are a smart soccer team and we can pass and win no matter who they play against. We have a lot of guys who are healthy. We have some free time. Replacing the schedule is complicated, of course we would have liked to know so we can take one week off instead of practicing all week. But we had two weeks to prepare for the Patriots, so we deserve to be in a position to pass and win. It’s fun to be fun. “
Of course, the search for excuses doesn’t fit the way patriots speak publicly. That said, Risner cannot be blamed for the Broncos’ lack of a difficult task.
