DENVER -- Cam Newton and Von Miller wont be watching much film of Super Bowl 50 as they prepare for Thursday nights NFL kickoff between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.The Panthers dont really want to relive the nightmare, and the Broncos dont want to live in the past.Besides, its two completely different teams, Newton explained.Not exactly.The Panthers return 18 of 22 starters, the Broncos just 13.Carolinas secondary features a new starting free safety in Tre Boston and two rookie cornerbacks in James Bradberry and Daryl Worley.Im not going to look at them like theyre rookies, Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders said. Im going to treat them like theyre Darrelle Revis and Richard Sherman.Also back for the Panthers are star receiver Kelvin Benjamin, who missed last season with a knee injury, and running back Jonathan Stewart, who was nicked up in the Super Bowl and held to 29 yards on 12 carries.The strength of Carolinas defense is its fear-inducing front seven, and so star cornerback Josh Norman was deemed expendable. He signed with the Washington Redskins.Pass-rusher Jared Allen retired, but his replacement, Kony Ealy, was the Panthers biggest bright spot in their otherwise miserable 24-10 loss to Denver seven months ago. He disrupted Peyton Manning with three sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception.The Broncos put a little bit more stock in the Super Bowl, but they, too, are more focused on the preseason and cutups of what the Panthers run than in that one performance.Theyre returning 18 starters, same coaching staff and same players, really, said Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall. I think you could use a lot from that game, but youd be fools to think that theyre going to run the same plays.Anyway, the Broncos have tried their best to put their Super Bowl triumph behind them.The only diamond-encrusted championship ring youll see around team headquarters is the one in the big trophy case in the lobby, subbing for the Lombardi Trophies that are on display elsewhere in the city this week.We let all of that go, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. This is a new team, new year, new season. Were studying from what theyve done this year, Im sure theyre doing the same thing. We have to stay focused on this time around. We dont talk about that at all, to be honest with you.Manning retired a month after winning his second Super Bowl ring, and his longtime backup Brock Osweiler, who started seven games last season, followed him out of Denver 48 hours later when he accepted a $72 million offer from the Houston Texans.Run-stuffer Malik Jackson, who recovered Newtons fumble in the end zone for Denvers first defensive TD in six Super Bowl appearances, and linebacker Danny Trevathan also found riches in free agency. They were replaced by veterans Jared Crick and Todd Davis.GM John Elway blew up his offense, jettisoning both starting tight ends and three linemen. He demoted a fourth, right tackle Michael Schofield, who ultimately found his way back into the starting lineup at right guard with a rash of injuries during training camp.Tight ends Vernon Davis and Owen Daniels are gone (in favor of Virgil Green and Jeff Heuerman), and also history are linemen Ryan Harris, Evan Mathis and Louis Vasquez, replaced by Russell Okung, Max Garcia and Donald Stephenson.Elway didnt stop there.He also replaced his long snapper, Aaron Brewer, and his punter/holder Britton Colquitt. Their replacements are Casey Kreiter and Riley Dixon, both NFL novices who will be making their regular season debuts Thursday night when Broncos QB Trevor Siemian makes his first start as a pro.So, instead of Manning vs. Norman, its Siemian going up against two rookie cornerbacks.Theyve got some great players so its kind of hard to focus on those two corners when you look at the guys up front, Broncos offensive coordinator Rick Dennison said.The bigger gamble might be Denver going with Siemian, a seventh-round draft pick in 2015 from Northwestern who has just one snap -- a kneel-down -- on his NFL resume.Its an unusual move, as we all know, said NBC analyst Tony Dungy. One thing you have to hang your hat on is John Elway knowing what quarterbacking is all about, and obviously he feels good about this move. Ive watched Trevor Siemian in the preseason, and it certainly wouldnt be what a coach would desire, that, `Hey, were going in with an untested player at the key position. But Siemians been there. They know him. They believe in him.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapletonReplica Jerseys .

The most important 15 minutes of Sam Mikulaks daily routine doesnt come in the gym or the weight room. They usually take place early in the morning, shortly after he pulls himself out of bed at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.There in the stillness, the best American male gymnast of his generation turns his mind into a blank slate. Nothing is allowed in. Not worries about whether he can find a way to combine consistency with his considerable talent. Not concerns about the ankles that are always one iffy landing away from disaster. Not the stakes as he prepares himself for another Olympic moment, one with significantly higher stakes than four years ago in London.If a thought comes into my head, I recognize it and I do a mental swipe left with my eyes, Mikulak said. And then Im back to breathing and fall into a rhythm that can train me to negate any thoughts that arent necessary when Im competing on the big stage.Like the one that awaits in Brazil, when the 23-year-old spearheads a five-man U.S. team eager to re-establish itself after a nightmarish fifth-place finish in 2012. Back then, Mikulak was a teenager, a college student and an event specialist. Now hes likely the only American competing in the all-around, a testament to the way hes separated himself from his teammates.Yet for all his supremacy at home, where he is one of two men to win four straight national titles, Mikulak has yet to experience a true breakthrough moment internationally. He has just one world championship medal to his credit, a team bronze in 2014. That also happens to be the last time he was on the floor with Kohei Uchimura of Japan, the defending Olympic champion heavily favored to do it again in Rio de Janeiro.On the surface, they could not be more different. Uchimura is soft-spoken and reserved. Mikulak is prone to break into dance during a meet and speaks in a surfer dude cadence that betrays his Southern California roots.Yet their gymnastics are strikingly similar in their aggressive quest for elegance.I feel like Im following in his footsteps a little bit, Mikulak said. Hes one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. Its nice to be on the same path. My goal is to apply a little pressure.The only surefire way to do it is to avoid the small but persistent mistakes that tend to pop up early in competitions. Mikulak is well aware of his penchant for shaky starts like the one he endured on the opening night of Olympic Trials on June 25, when he flubbed his dismount on parallel bars and lost momentum on high bar.Not that it mattered in the end. Mikulak finished with his typical flourish and ultimately wound up well clear of Chris Brooks following four rounds of Olympic qualifying that spanned trials and the national championships.Its where Mikulak expected to be all along. Still, he knows hes at the ttime in his career when simply being the best among his buddies is no longer enough.ddddddddddddThe mindset going into the Olympics is Im not a top dog in the international scene like I am in the U.S., he said. There is a gap I need to overcome.Going six for six -- meaning getting through each apparatus clean -- would be a start. Asked when the last time he put together a day like that, Mikulak points to the 2013 American Cup while simultaneously shaking his head in disbelief.Its been a while, he allowed. I need that sense of urgency that I crave at the end, I need that in the beginning.Nowhere do Mikulaks problems manifest themselves more than on high bar, gymnastics answer to a slam-dunk contest. Sitting nine feet off the floor, its an inviting canvas on which to paint. And when hes on, Mikulak can turn it into a thrill ride.The problem is, Mikulak isnt always on. At the 2014 world championships, coach Mark Williams benched Mikulak on high bar during the team final, opting for Jake Daltons more conservative -- and more dependable -- set.Its a decision Mikulak understood and why he comes to each meet now armed with three different high-bar routines, opting for the easiest during qualifying and saving the most difficult for the event final if he makes it that far.Call it a sign of maturity for an athlete who admits to putting too much pressure on himself to be perfect, something hes realized over the years is a futile pursuit. Now he searches for small moments of bliss during a given routine while trying to immediately hit delete when something doesnt go as planned.Thats where the meditation comes in, something he began incorporating while competing at Michigan. A psychology major, Mikulak found himself fascinated by the minds power to control the body not just by telling it what to do, but by telling it what not to do. Its gotten to the point where hes on autopilot the second he raises his hand to the judges.The breathing is what does it, he said. It blocks out anything that might tell you, `Oh tighten up. Or if theres a negative thought that will pop up when youre up there, the breathing will not let that thought come into your mind.So Mikulak zones out, his ears listening for the encouragement of his teammates but nothing else. Leave no doubt: They have his back. Theyd love nothing more than to see the guy who occasionally amazes during practice do the same thing for the whole world to see.He needs to go out there and handle that pressure, own the pressure and move on from there, good friend and Olympic alternate Donnell Whittenburg said. If he can hit, he can definitely give Uchimura a run.---Follow Will Graves at www.twitter.com/WillGravesAP ' ' '
