Denver Broncos president of football operations John Elway explained Tuesday that his comments about the team being "a little bit soft" were directed at all members of the club and not just players.
"I was talking about everybody in the organization," Elway told Orange and Blue 760 (via ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold). "Sometimes success will make you soft and you won't pay attention to some of the details that you need to pay attention to. And I'd put myself first in line there."
Elway's initial comments, which were made Friday, rankled several Broncos players—including linebacker Brandon Marshall.
