AFC Notes: Josh McDaniels, Sean Payton, Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders

Broncos

Broncos HC Sean Payton reinforced his relationship with DC Vance Joseph and said that the two are on the same page.

โ€œIโ€™m in a great spot with him,โ€ Payton said, via PFT. โ€œYou have to understand one thing about me. He wonโ€™t be the only one. I was frustrated, and you donโ€™t want to use those timeouts. Sometimes, itโ€™s hard to be pleased or not upset. You want to play your perfect game. That was a good win for us, and yet Iโ€™m driving home last night heading to get sushi. I donโ€™t like sushi, and Iโ€™m finding myself circling around the parking lot [thinking], โ€˜All right, why canโ€™t I be happy?โ€™ Well, youโ€™re searching for that perfect game. Iโ€™m just that way. Iโ€™m going to wear my emotions on my sleeve, whether itโ€™s defense or offense.โ€

Chiefs

  • Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star has additional reporting on Chiefs WR Justyn Rossโ€˜ arrest. He was brought in Monday on what was initially reported as felony property damage. However, Newell says Ross has been charged with two misdemeanors: one count of domestic battery with no priors and one count of criminal damage to property totaling less than $1,000. 
  • Newell cites the criminal complaint filed to the police, per which a person whom Ross was in a dating relationship called following an incident on Monday. The report says she sustained minor injuries, though nothing specific was mentioned. The property damaged, per the report, was a laptop, iPhone, computer monitor, gold bracelet, and a car key. Drugs, alcohol, or weapons were not cited in the report. 
  • Newell also cites radio traffic captured from the dispatch call in which the victim said Ross was โ€œdragging her through the house and has torn up the house.โ€ The woman called from a neighborโ€™s house because she said Ross had broken her phone.

Raiders

  • Raiders HC Josh McDaniels is unsure if QB Jimmy Garoppolo will be able to play in Week 8: โ€œIโ€™m hoping for this week, but I donโ€™t have clarification yet.โ€ (Andrew Siciliano)

  1. The more I see of this Payton dude the more I dislike him. Apparently heโ€™s had success in the past. If I was ownership, Payton would be down the road. His way of doing things is WRONG!! You canโ€™t talk to people like that and win. Iโ€™d keep Russ and fire Payton. With a decent coach I think they could win with Wilson, if you can make the arm band mandatory.
