ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
Theoren Fleury Flames Jersey . -- No trip to the White House, diamond-encrusted rings or ticker tape parade. All the Denver
Broncos have to show for their historic 2013 season is the heartache and
humiliation of getting destroyed from the opening snap at the Super Bowl. The
AFC champs aim to use that 43-8 shellacking by Seattle as motivation for 2014
starting Monday when they gather for the start of off-season workouts, stars
Peyton Manning and Von Miller say. They realize what a daunting task awaits them
as they try to become the first team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to win the
Super Bowl the year after losing it. Crews have turned the teams headquarters
into a construction zone over the last three months with a makeover that will
include the addition of an indoor practice complex, and, fittingly, general
manager John Elway has taken a sledgehammer to his roster, too. Gone are
veterans Champ Bailey, Robert Ayers, Eric Decker, Knowshon Moreno, Zane Beadles,
Wesley Woodyard, Shaun Philips and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie along with
Chris Kuper, who retired. Their departures made room for Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward,
DeMarcus Ware and Emmanuel Sanders. Despite becoming the first NFL team to score
more than 600 points, behind Mannings record 55 TD throws, the Broncos
surrendered a whopping 24.9 points a game -- 25.3 if you count the playoffs --
and Elway focused on fixing that this off-season. He added two thumpers in the
secondary and Miller will be back from a torn ACL, while refusing to re-sign
players who would have cost him too much to keep around. After all, big paydays
loom for the likes of Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas. Both of them attended
Mannings annual week of workouts at Duke recently along with Wes Welker, Bubba
Caldwell and Sanders. "Thats kind of the new rules now. You have to go
off-campus in early April in order to get some work with your receivers,"
Manning said. "It was a good kick-start to the off-season." Manning also created
a bit of a stir by heading to Tuscaloosa, Ala., a couple of weeks ago to pick
the brain of Alabama coach Nick Saban, who in turn picked up pointers from the
five-time MVP on the hurry-up offence that has so troubled the Crimson Tide of
late. Because Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase, who got his coaching
start under Saban back in the 1990s, visited Alabamas football facilities at the
same time, the NFL is looking into the matter. League rules prohibit players and
their coaches from meeting before the start of off-season workouts. Saban told
The Denver Post, however, that he never met with Gase and Manning at the same
time, other than to say pleasantries. The first two weeks of voluntary
off-season workouts at NFL team headquarters are limited to strength and
conditioning and rehabilitation activities. After that, on-field instruction in
allowed. A lot of players have already been working out at Dove Valley,
including Miller, left tackle Ryan Clady (foot) and cornerback Chris Harris Jr.
(knee), all of whom were sideline spectators at the Super Bowl. Even though he
realizes many Broncos fans would just as soon forget the Super Bowl, Miller
doesnt share their sentiments. "I wouldnt want to get the sour taste out too
quick because the year before we lost to the Ravens and that pushed us this last
season. And the Super Bowl this year I think it will just push us more," Miller
said. "We were right there. We were right on the edge of it and all the guys
have been putting in that extra 1 per cent in and hopefully itll pay off for us
this coming season."
