As former first-round pick Garett Bolles enters his second season in the NFL, comfort is a chief concern. For him, comfort means already knowing how NFL defenses play, knowing how his teammates play next to him and feeling secure in knowing his family is comfortable in Denver. But he also wants new quarterback Case Keenum to be comfortable in the pocket, and he wants the entire offense to feel it can do everything it needs to do with him protecting the left side.

Ben Swanson: The Broncos changed up the coaching staff for the offensive line, hiring Sean Kugler to coach the centers and guards and assigning Chris Strausser to coach the tackles. How has that changed things for you?

GB: "It changed my whole game. Having a coach designated just for the tackles has really put the emphasis on making sure that we're crisp in our pass sets and crisp using our hands and making sure we're square to the line. Knowing that we can trust him and that he has our back — because tackles are like corners; we're sort of on our own on the edge and we need to do the things that we do — so having Coach Strauss and the love he has for us continuing to push us forward is pretty awesome."

BS: Another significant change this season is that Ron Leary is moving back to left guard and will play alongside you. Given his experience and talent, how much do you ask him questions and pick his brain?

GB: "Every day. I ask Ron questions every day — in the huddle, at the line of scrimmage. Before the snap of the ball, we're always communicating. I like where we're at. We're heading to a special place and I'm excited to see what happens in the future."

BS: Jared Veldheer's addition this offseason is expected to add some stability at right tackle, but he also has plenty of experience playing on the left side. Has he been able to be a resource for you also?
