Keeler: Does Broncos Country owe Loren Landow an apology? New coach. New staff. Broncos still can’t shake this injury bug.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:23:07 GMT

Blaming Loren Landow for what ailed the post-PFM Broncos was, pun intended, always a bit of a stretch.And, yeah, we saw the numbers. Denver led the NFL last fall with 23 players on injured reserve, according to Spotrac.com, while the Broncos’ $67.1 million in cap money on IR ranked third behind Tennessee ($104.7 million) and Arizona ($79.6 million). It was the third straight year in which the franchise ranked among the NFL’s top five squads in one, or both, negative superlatives.The Walton-Penners unofficially put Landow, the Broncos’ head strength and conditioning coach since March 2018, on notice last December following the Christmas Day Massacre/Patrick Star Debacle. Sean Payton came aboard as the new face of the franchise about five weeks after that, bringing in his own crew. Landow, no shock, quietly turned in his key card.Fast forward six months, and the new band is playing the same, sad little tune. With P.J. Locke joining the party, only two NFL franchises as of 4 p.m. Tuesd...
