After seeing defensive tackle in Sunday's lo s to the , there's a real concern that the ' locker room is splintering. And with the Broncos' offense being literally the worst Chris Iannetta Jersey in the NFL, so swiftly on the heels of GM George Paton making Wilson a quarter-billion-dollar quarterback, it's fair to wonder if the veteran signal-caller has lost the locker room, as it were.Head coach Nathaniel Hackett was asked to addre s the rumors that Wilson has indeed lost the locker room on Wednesday.I heard that a little bit," Hackett acknowledged of the rumor. "To me, its all go sip. We have a fantastic locker room. When you look at a guy like Ru s, hes unbelievable. He worksIve never seen somebody work that hard and never seen somebody try to embrace a team like he has while hes here."What exactly does Coach Hackett mean about Wilson's efforts to "embrace" the Broncos?"Just from everything that he does, from walkthroughs to helping and how he is in the community," Hackett said. "Ru s is awesome, and we just need to do better as a team. Its that simple. All that stuff, it is what it is. I love Ru s.Hackett loves everyone, but at a certain point, he'd be wise to start sharing some of the onus for Denver's struggles with his highly-paid quarterback, instead of blaming the "the team" for not, ostensibly, being "better." After all, it's not the offensive line's fault when Wilson holds onto the ball for way too long, or opts to run into pre sure, or mi ses a blitzer pre-snap.While it's true that Denver's receiving corps is doing a horrible job at creating separation with their routes, Wilson is not surveying Mark Reynolds Jersey the field with the cool, calm, and collected poise he built an arguable Hall-of-Fame career on in Seattle. The bitter, frustrating truth is that it's obvious Wilson isn't seeing the field as he should, as there have been countle s times this season where he has straight-up mi sed wide-open receivers, opting instead to either scramble into pre sure or throw incomplete.The Broncos' Week 5 lo s to the is a case-in-point example, where Wilson mi sed a that would have won the game, instead opting to stare down Courtland Sutton on the opposite side of the field and throw incomplete. Receipts below:Wilson himself had to addre s the elephant in the room as Wednesday is his day of the week to face the media. He dismi sed the Greg Holland Jersey notion that he's lost the locker room out of hand.Scroll to ContinueNo. First of all, everybody wants to win," Wilson said. "We all want to win. Nobody wants to win more than me and this team, and thats what we want to be able to do. I think alsoI have great relationships in that locker room. Whoever is trying to tear it down, you cant. I think the best thing about it is that its been an amazing journey coming here, moving here and being here."Wilson went on to emphasize that he is unfazed by this latest rumor and that "the noise" is part of the game."This is a great, great team," Wilson said. "We have a lot of great players and Im honored to be here. Im honored to play with this team and these guys. There is always noise, especially when things arent going the way you Kyle Freeland Jersey want it to all the time. The thing is that you dont bat an eye. My biggest goal every day is to continue to try to lead at the highest level, to be consistent every day with my approach and to never change. Not let the highs of life change you and not let the lows change you just be consistent with your approach and knowing that I love these guys every day and who they are, what they are about, how they impact this community and what theyve done. Its a ble sing to be on this team. Im honored to be part of this.It would be one thing if Wilson were playing even on an average level, and the wins just weren't coming. It's another thing entirely to be the biggest culprit on the field, anyway behind the Broncos' abject failure to meet expectations in 2022.There is no doubt Pat Valaika Jersey that Wilson's teammates are frustrated. And only a fool would believe that guys in that locker room aren't harboring some animosity toward Wilson for his complicity in the Broncos becoming a laughing stock.As the lo ses continue to pile up, the veracity of Hackett and Wilson's a surances that the locker room unity is still intact will come out in the wash. It's doubtful that Purcell's Week 12 outburst in Wilson's direction will be the last to be seen this season.I hope I'm wrong.
