Broncos Journal: In search of speed, Denver should push pace with RB Jaleel McLaughlin, LB Drew Sanders

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 01:09:09 GMT

Win or lose, Week 1 in the NFL provides the first batch of data for teams to begin figuring out out who they really are.The Broncos in Week 1 looked like a team that lacks explosiveness on both sides of the ball.They have some — cornerback Pat Surtain II, receiver Jerry Jeudy once he’s back on the field, left guard Ben Powers in the run game – but not enough.Coach Sean Payton isn’t going to throw out his entire blueprint and re-write it because of 60 minutes, nor should he. In fact, Week 1’s dink-and-dunk style suggests he suspected his team might struggle to run past Las Vegas. But one interesting development Sunday against Washington and into the coming weeks will be whether he and his staff show a willingness to give young players with explosive traits more opportunities.On offense, receiver Marvin Mims Jr. and running back Jaleel McLaughlin each have burst. Mims played 17 offensive snaps and McLaughlin just a couple. McLaughlin got one target in the flat against an u...

Don’t look now, but Joshua Redman’s jazz career is evolving

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 01:09:09 GMT

There’s an early moment on Joshua Redman’s new album “where are we” that seems to open up a quietly astonishing landscape where the Berkeley saxophonist has never ventured before.The release is his first collaboration with a vocalist — captivating newcomer Gabrielle Cavassa — and his debut album on his new label, the storied Blue Note Records. If the lack of capitals in the concept album’s title feels like a feint at modesty, the project’s scope speaks to Redman’s ambition. Formatted like a double LP, “where we are” takes an emotional X-ray of the nation via an expansive reimagining of the American Songbook, city by city.The song that first seizes the imagination is a mashup of “Going to Chicago Blues,” the swaggering Count Basie staple for vocalist and co-writer Jimmy Rushing and (decades later) Joe Williams, with an interpolated motif from Sufjan Stevens’ “Chicago.” The album features a superlative cast with pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Joe Sanders, drummer Brian Blade...
