1. If there is no on-field work in offseason.

Last week, I named several players that are most hurt by the virtual offseason. Players need some time on the field to really grasp concepts that they are taught by their coaches.

This Broncos team is quite young. There are a lot of new faces in town and if they cannot practice together, they don’t get the amount of chemistry that they would have been able to.

Sure, this one can be mentioned by plenty of teams. But not all teams have a young signal-caller. Some teams are able to adapt differently and more easily than others, so not having the ability to get coached on the field can be a problem for them.

I understand that they are going to be able to set up some things on their own as restrictions become lessened, but every day that they don’t meet up is time missed. It is very unfortunate that it is like this.
