ENGLEWOOD — Davis Webb will call plays for the Broncos but made it clear Thursday that their offensive philosophy will remain associated with the guy he expects to end up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Webb has taken over as Denver’s offensive coordinator after three seasons as quarterbacks coach. Speaking after an organized team practice at Broncos Park, he twice called Sean Payton, who relinquished play-calling duties, a “gold jacket” head coach.

“Using his experience, I think that’s going to benefit a young play-caller,’’ said Webb, 31, speaking to the media for the first time since being named Feb. 2 to the job. “I’m not dumb. I know this is a lot. However, having him there and having the relationship with the staff members (will be beneficial).”

In Payton’s previous 18 seasons as a head coach, 15 with New Orleans and three with Denver, he called the plays. Now it will be Webb’s turn.

“One reason I wanted to be here was with Sean here,’’ Webb said. “I trust him. He trusts me. We think very similar. I know how he wants the game to be played. It’s the same offense for the most part, just little tweaks here and there. But this is a Sean Payton-coached football team with a Sean Payton offensive philosophy.”

Webb was an NFL backup quarterback from 2017 to 2022 with the Giants, Jets and Bills before Payton hired him to his coaching staff after he arrived in Denver in February 2023. Webb named some of the play callers who have influenced him while saying “the best one I’ve been with” is the “gold jacket Hall of Fame head coach, play caller, culture builder.”

Webb took over after Payton fired Joe Lombardi as offensive coordinator on Jan. 27, two days after the Broncos lost 10-7 to New England in the AFC Championship Game. Denver played that game without starting quarterback Bo Nix, who had suffered a broken right ankle in a 33-30 overtime win over Buffalo in a divisional playoff game on Jan. 17.

Webb last January had interviews for head-coaching jobs with Baltimore and Las Vegas, saying Payton helped him in the process. He wasn’t offered either job, but other teams were interested in him as an offensive coordinator.

“I had to do two interviews (for jobs he didn’t name) the next day, so kind of just getting our ducks in a row and I had a one-on-one with Sean and (Broncos owner Greg Penner and general manager George Paton) and there was no decision after that,’’ Webb said of when he was offered the job. “It was, ‘Where do I sign?'”

Webb said he “signed immediately” after the offer was extended.

“It was a no-doubter,’’ he said. “I don’t want to leave here. I love it here. I love the players we have here. I love the staff we have here. I love the ownership we have here. I love our front office.”

Webb is thrilled to continue to work with Nix, whom he called a “great young quarterback.” But he didn’t deny that their relationship has changed a bit.

“I think the relationship is very strong,’’ Webb said. “I picked him up when we drafted him (in 2024) and I’ll be with him every day; I’ll be in the QB room. But I like going to other position meetings now. That’s been probably my favorite part about (the new job). … Bo and I’s relationship will be great, be a little different. I think Sean said it best. I won’t be as warm and fuzzy as I used to be, but he kind of gets that already in our QB meetings.’’

Webb said he has no qualms about facing scrutiny as a play caller. He made note of his father, Matt Webb, being a “coach for a long time” at high schools in Texas and about how when he was a backup that, “everyone likes the backup” quarterback.

“That kind of comes with it,’’ Webb said of the pressure. “Our whole deal is just, let’s score some points, let’s have some fun, let’s have a different attitude on offense. Let’s get up with some excitement, celebrate with your teammates, no dumb penalties and let’s just play clean football because our defense is really good, too.”

Payton said Webb is “doing a great job” so far. He called it beneficial that he already had a rapport with the players before being promoted.

“It helps a lot, just his experience with the system, with Bo, with the current players,’’ Payton said. “He’s not coming in new, learning it all. He’s doing well. The process is going well. He had good energy. He’s extremely sharp. I think we’re better having him and we’re in a better spot with his experience here than if we would be if he was just coming in.”

Naturally, Webb was happy that Payton on Thursday signed a new five-year contract that takes him through the 2030 season.

“When we walked in here together (in 2023), everyone had everything negative to say about this place, but it has been nothing but the opposite. … He deserves (the new contract),’’ Webb said. “Name a better head coach the last three years’ consistency from the ground up.”

Webb said this is the “favorite organization” he has been with in the NFL, saying it starts from the top with the Walton-Penner ownership group. And he is “thankful and blessed” to be with a “gold jacket head coach.”
