That, above all else, is what Kubiak wants his newest players to take from the weekend's work.
"We get four football practices, and we're going to throw a lot at them from that standpoint," Kubiak said. "But I just hope they get a feel for being around this building, understanding how we want them to go about their business, deal with you guys [the media], understanding who they are in this town when they're working.
"When they walk in the locker room Monday, I'd like to get them as comfortable as I can, because that's a big shock for them. A little bit of football, and a lot about life here for a couple of days."

Simmons listened intently at meetings and offered his take on that phrase.
"It's tradition. It's the winning tradition. It's carrying yourself with class, high character -- and most importantly, and I think Coach Kubiak hits it hard, it's carrying yourself as a professional," he said.
"It's no longer Boston College in front of my name, or even my last time, with Simmons. It's Denver Broncos before anything else.
"In doing that, it's more than myself. It's more than even the people that have come just a little bit before me. It's that past tradition; it's that winning tradition.
"It means a lot. It makes you want to carry yourself the right way. and have the right mindset when you're in the facility, and even out off the field, as well."
