Davis Webb says Broncos aim to “find their rhythm” on offense as preseason begins

The Denver Broncos open a three-game preseason stretch with an offense that, at least on paper, has the familiar look of last season. Offensive coordinator Davis Webb’s message entering this phase is less about big-picture overhauls and more about rhythm, timing, and the repeatable processes that make an offense function when defenses start disguising coverages and changing looks at full speed.

According to Webb’s comments reported by Yahoo Sports, a central theme for the Broncos is how quickly the unit can settle into its cadence and decision-making. Preseason games tend to compress those priorities into shorter windows. Against live defensive adjustments, teams discover whether routes are being run at the right depth, protections hold long enough for throws to develop, and the quarterback can get through progressions with consistent timing.

Denver’s schedule pressure is defined up front by what comes next. After the preseason, the Broncos are set to begin the regular season on Monday Night Football with a road trip to the Kansas City Chiefs. That means the time for experimentation is limited, and the staff has an incentive to identify which offensive habits produce results when the game scripts get messy.

Webb’s comments also point to continuity as a key factor. The reported framing from Yahoo Sports is that virtually every starter from last season is expected back, giving Denver a baseline of familiarity. In practice, continuity does not remove uncertainty, but it does shift the focus. Instead of teaching core concepts from scratch, the coaching staff can emphasize spacing, play-to-play discipline, and settling into a consistent tempo so the offense does not feel different drive to drive.

The Broncos also have personnel changes in the mix, described in the report as “big additions” made through trade and the NFL Draft. Without specific player details in the available material, the more reliable takeaway is what such additions usually require: adjustments to roles, assignments, and the way new players fit into existing route and protection rules. Preseason reps become the testing ground for whether those fits are clean.

In the quarterback-and-receiver timing game, small errors can become loud when teams do not play their full offensive rhythm or when defensive coordinators lean into disguised looks. For Denver, the goal that Webb points toward is straightforward. Get the offense operating on time, with the right reads and with fewer “mental tax” moments that force improvisation instead of execution.

Over the next three preseason games, the Broncos’ most practical evaluation will be whether their offense looks calm under pressure and whether the underlying mechanics match the staff’s plan. Fans will naturally look for highlights, but the performance markers that tend to matter most early are situational: third-down consistency, red-zone decision-making, and the offense’s ability to sustain drives when the defense forces quick throws or takes away primary targets.

If Denver’s offense can establish that rhythm quickly, the Monday Night Football opener at Kansas City becomes less of a measuring stick for foundational timing and more of a competitive statement about execution. If it cannot, the Broncos will likely spend the first weeks of the season chasing that same cohesion that Webb is targeting now.
