Joe Dineen looking to make it hard for coaches not to keep him on the teamdenverbroncos.comUndrafted rookie inside linebacker Joe Dineen has a favorite player of all time.Though he is donning the jersey number of all-time linebacker stud Randy Gradishar, the KU inside backer actually played QB growing up.So of course it’s Peyton Manning.And that means the Lawrence, Kansas, native jumped right on the Broncos bandwagon when Manning became a Bronco in 2012, and he was particularly happy about that Super Bowl win in 2016 (as were we all).But we’re going to have to forgive Dineen one transgression - he jumped on the Chiefs bandwagon last year.“But not anymore, not anymore,” he pleads with First and 10 @ 10’s Andrew Mason. “I’m just really fired up to be here. I’ve always loved Colorado, love the mountains. It’s paradise. Broncos Country is paradise.”OK, we can probably forgive last year. After all, Broncos didn’t have much to offer a guy playing college ball just 50 miles outside of Kansas City - and the Chiefs certainly did.But the more important part of Dineen’s story is that he hopes to follow the undrafted path that fellow Jayhawks’ cornerback Chris Harris Jr. did and prove to coaches he is worthy of a spot on the team.And his attitude about playing will be a good start.“I think there’s one way to play football - as hard as you can no matter what the score is,” Dineen said, adding that his parents instilled a ‘don’t quit’ mentality in him at a young age. “That’s how I do everything. The score wasn’t going to change my effort.”It’s a mentality that will also serve him well as he goes up against some of the best of the best in the NFL - even if it’s just against rookies.Noah Fant, for example, is a beast to cover, Dineen admitted when Andrew Mason asked if he had been assigned to cover the first-round pick during the Rookie Minicamp over the weekend.“I was. I was. He’s fast. A big athletic kid too. I’m excited he’s a Bronco,” Dineen joked. “He’s a freak athlete, and he’s going to be real good.”But Dineen likes that because he knows it will be the best way to help him improve on coverage - which he considers the main thing a linebacker needs to be good at if he wants to see the field. “Oh yeah https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Tom-Jackson-Jersey , oh yeah. You’re not going to see a ton of guys like [Fant],” Dineen added. “Obviously the Chiefs have got a good one, but I’m really excited I’m going against him in practice and not in a game.”The first two days of the rookie minicamp got linebackers coach Reggie Herring fired up at his new guys trying to learn the scheme - but by the third day, he was complimenting the young crew.“Reggie is a great coach. You have to listen to what he says and not worry about how he says it,” Dineen laughed. “He’s a great guy and a great football coach. I’ve already learned a lot from him. ...He’s done a great job installing the defense, and we’re finally understanding it.”Dineen particularly likes that the defense isn’t set in one gap but can move around based on reading the running back.“I really like that. I think when you’re just in a gap scheme, it kind of handicaps your skill set,” he said. “I think being able to flow off the back will help me.”Dineen is looking to improve in his coverage ability, but mostly he’s concentrating on really understanding the defense.“In the NFL, to be a linebacker on the field at all times, you’ve got to be able to cover. To get to where I’m really confident out there, there are always tricks I can learn,” he said. “And honestly, just learning the defense, I think I’ll be OK. Got to get on all four special teams and work really hard there and make it hard for coaches to not leave me on the team.”For one thing, Dineen really wants to be in Vic Fangio’s defense.“Good coach. Smart. He’s quiet, but when he talks you listen for sure Dennis Smith Jersey ,” Dineen said. “His defense is what he’s known for, so I’m excited to be in that system and learn from him.”For another, he’d really like to meet his all-time favorite player.“I’d have to get some courage and go shake his hand,” Dineen said, adding that as a kid he had a room full of Manning memorabilia, including a wall-size Fathead™ and several autographed items. “That’d be a pretty cool experience.”Listen to "First & 10 @ 10" on Spreaker. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos put free agent receiver Nick Williams right to work Friday, having the sixth-year pro work with the starting offense shortly after signing his contract.With wide receivers River Cracraft (muscle) and DaeSean Hamilton (hamstring) missing practice again, it wasn’t surprising to see Williams work with the starters, but his quick rapport with quarterback Joe Flacco that resulted in several impressive plays was a pleasant surprise to many at Broncos headquarters.“We’ve run low at receiver and particularly at the slot. We’re not low enough to ask (former Broncos wide receiver Brandon) Stokley if he could still play. But you know what, he did a good job,” coach Vic Fangio said. “He’s a guy that doesn’t meet your height, weight and speed things that all the personnel people like, but he looks like a pretty damn (good) football player to me out there.“Maybe all he needed was an opportunity and he’s got one now. Let’s see.”Williams (5-foot-10, 184 pounds) has appeared in 26 regular season games and two playoff contests with the Redskins, Falcons, Titans and Rams. He played in two games for the Titans and two for the Rams last season.Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello was with Williams in Atlanta in 2015 when current 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was running the system for the Falcons.“It’s real similar Terrell Davis Color Rush Jersey ,” Williams said. “I haven’t really checked it out too much yet. But just being on the field today and hearing a lot of the plays and a lot of the formations, a lot of carry-over. It’s a real successful scheme in the league. (Rams coach Sean) McVay runs it, Kyle runs it, (Packers coach Matt) LaFleur runs it or run versions of it. It’s kind of the same principles.“Those guys are all great coaches, all successful coaches. And Rich is coming up in that mold, it’s all what I expected it to be. A decent amount of that stuff in his offense and the things that he has added over the years, it’s definitely an advantage to have that background. It makes the transition easier.”Williams fit right in.“I kind of expected it to be difficult,” Williams said. “You’re kind of thrown in there. It’s tough to get into football shape, that’s the really underrated thing about getting ready for camp. But it was nice and early in the morning. I’ve been here for a couple hours and then I had shoulder pads on a few hours later. So, I can’t complain too much.”To make room for Williams, the Broncos waived defensive lineman Deyon Sizer.Notes: RT Ja’Wuan James and OLB Dakoda Watson missed practice with lower leg injuries that Fangio said were minor. … Fangio said TE Bug Howard, who was carted off the field with a leg injury Friday, will be out a couple of weeks. … In all, nine players sat out practice.
