Webb is making his first NFL start and has emphasized an aggressive approach to play-calling. He stated: "We'll let it rip when it's go time," signaling confidence in executing Sean Payton's offensive system. Webb noted that Payton has been a valuable resource throughout the week and gameday, providing "five to 10 nuggets" in gameplan meetings that have benefitted preparation. Webb views the offense as operating under Payton's framework despite Webb's role as primary play-caller, and he has received coaching support from receiver coach Ronald Curry, who brings relatability and experience from his time with Josh Allen in Buffalo.

Webb has transitioned smoothly from QB coach to offensive coordinator and play caller for the Broncos. After the first preseason win against the Falcons, Webb spoke like a veteran OC, noting "We're trying to clean up some details, but I love the way we came out. Six plays, go get a touchdown." He emphasized the energy created on the sideline and the team's goal to replicate that performance. The chemistry Webb developed with Bo Nix over two seasons as his QB coach has translated well into his new role; Sean Payton confirmed the transition "was smooth, it was good. Communication process was good. No issues. It was all clean." Teammates also noted Webb's energy and enthusiasm in meetings and on the sideline.

Sean Payton confirmed Webb is fully healthy and ready to execute the Broncos' offensive scheme at 100% capacity. Payton highlighted an early-camp play where Webb threw a 48-yard pass while on the run out of the pocket, demonstrating no limitations in mobility or arm strength. Payton emphasized Webb's readiness and confidence in his play-calling ability, noting that Webb successfully presented the team's first preseason game script to players with clear explanation and positive demeanor—qualities Payton views as integral to effective offensive execution. The Broncos are building concepts throughout the season in a division with three legitimately threatening teams and against a schedule featuring five straight 2025 playoff teams after the opener.

Davis Webb is the Broncos' new offensive coordinator calling plays for Bo Nix for the first time in a game on Friday. Webb characterized Nix's familiarity with the playbook as mixed: some plays are like reading 'Green Eggs and Ham' that Nix knows "like the back of his hand," while others are like "Harry Potter the fourth book" requiring "a few reminders." Webb expressed confidence in Nix's excitement and long-term career prospects, noting Nix was visibly down when unable to play last week but will be fine with more games ahead.

Sideline reporter said Sean Payton wanted to give up play calling duties to Davis Webb because Webb reminds him of a younger version of himself, and it meant a lot when Bill Parcels gave up playcalling to him all those years ago. Bo Nix and Webb also have a great relationship.

Webb is transitioning from sideline QB coach to offensive coordinator, taking over play-calling duties from Sean Payton (who will provide mentoring).

Sean Payton promoted Davis Webb from quarterback coach to offensive coordinator with playcalling duties from the sideline for the 2026 season. Payton told Kay Adams he sees 'something special' in Webb and believes he 'has a chance to be special,' comparing the arrangement to driver's ed where Payton retains oversight but Webb leads: 'He's not going to fail. He's going to be great at it.' Payton emphasized the decision was 'win driven' and motivated by not wanting 'to stop progress.' Quarterback Bo Nix supports the sideline playcalling arrangement, noting Webb's former quarterback background and comfort level with that vantage point will enhance eye-to-eye communication and emotional connection to the game.

Davis Webb, the Broncos' new offensive coordinator, will call plays from the sideline this season rather than from the coaching booth. Sean Payton delegated this responsibility to Webb, describing the arrangement as a 'driver's ed' model where Payton remains involved as an oversight presence with the ability to intervene. Payton expressed strong confidence in Webb, stating 'He's not going to fail. He's going to be great at it' and 'I think this guy has a chance to be special,' emphasizing the decision was 'win driven' and motivated by not wanting to 'stop progress.' Webb previously spent time as the Broncos' quarterback coach and feels most comfortable calling plays from the sideline.

Webb was promoted to offensive coordinator this offseason after Joe Lombardi was fired and takes over play-calling duties from Sean Payton—the first time since Payton became a head coach in 2006 that one of his offensive coordinators will be a full-time play-caller (aside from his Bountygate suspension season). Payton gushed about Webb's ability, and Webb received multiple head-coaching interviews despite being 31 and having no coordinator experience. Webb stated the offense will be largely the same with little tweaks, but Sean Payton's willingness to give him play-calling duties suggests an attempt to keep Webb in Denver while other teams tried to poach him, and new ideas could energize the Broncos' offense.

Broncos right guard Quinn Meinerz, on the impact of Davis Webb becoming the primary play-caller: "It's not a complete overhaul of the offense, but there's a lot of new, fun elements, new wrinkles, new stuff to it. Because when you get used to a system for so long, there's some of that beginner learning that you kind of like, miss out on. So, it's kind of nice to have a little refresh of things for us to have to learn on this offense for us to re-lock into and kind of -- it's not necessarily,...

Davis Webb promoted to offensive coordinator and play-caller for Broncos, taking play-calling duties away from head coach Sean Payton. Webb had multiple head coaching opportunities and offensive coordinator offers from other teams but chose to stay with Denver. Will work directly with Bo Nix and rest of offensive players while Payton remains heavily involved in offensive philosophy. Rumored changes include faster play-calling, more up-tempo pace, and more aggressive plays suited to Nix's strengths, though Webb indicated offense will remain largely the same with tweaks. This is Webb's first play-calling opportunity after years of preparation.
