Broncos OC Davis Webb says 'not ideal' to lose play-calling duties - ESPN

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Though he said «it's not ideal'' to have been stripped of playcalling duties, Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Davis Webb said Friday he's still „all-in'' on quarterback Bo Nix, the team's offense and his role on the coaching staff.

Broncos coach Sean Payton announced Thursday he will call plays instead of Webb. Webb's stint as the playcaller lasted four games as the Broncos' offense struggled on most fronts in a 2-2 start. The Broncos face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in SoFi Stadium.

Webb was asked Friday if a four-game sample size was enough to determine a change should be made.

“Luckily, that's not my job, that's [Payton's] job,'' Webb said. „I think he answered that. I think the world of him, how we've gone about it… it's not ideal, but in the same breath, we're 2-2 in the first four games, our first four opponents were a combined 13-3 to start the season. Welcome to the league.''

The Broncos faced four teams among the league's top 10 in scoring defense over the first four weeks — Jacksonville (No. 2), San Francisco (No. 3), Kansas City (No. 6) and the Los Angeles Rams (No. 9). The Chargers are 24th in the league in scoring defense.

“Any time it happens in any aspect of your life job-wise [there's disappointment], but in the same breath, that's the NFL, you get going,'' Webb said. „Been a backup QB, been up and down before, that's kind of how it goes.''

Payton had called Webb “a gifted coach'' when he announced early in the offseason his decision to have Webb call plays. Webb interviewed for head coaching and offensive coordinator jobs elsewhere in the offseason.

And even Thursday, as he announced he would call plays, Payton said Webb is a future head coach in the league.
