WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Show - Ryan Edwards Interview 

0:00:00.090 --> 0:00:03.900
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Edwards is from KOA Radio in Denver, the pre-

0:00:03.940 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and post-game host out there for the Broncos. And he

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:11.300
<v Speaker 1>joins us to talk about the 6-2 Denver Broncos coming

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>in this weekend. Ryan, what's going on, man?

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 2>How you doing?

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Doing great. Thanks, guys.

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:20.860
<v Speaker 1>What's up, Ryan? Appreciate you being here. So this Denver

0:00:20.900 --> 0:00:23.939
<v Speaker 1>team clearly comes in here. We don't have any winning streaks,

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.730
<v Speaker 1>it feels like, going on in Charlotte sports. But Denver's

0:00:26.750 --> 0:00:29.710
<v Speaker 1>won four in a row, including the exciting goal line

0:00:29.750 --> 0:00:34.390
<v Speaker 1>stand victory, come from behind style, which they've been good at,

0:00:35.290 --> 0:00:38.930
<v Speaker 1>against Kansas City. What's been the difference here the last

0:00:38.990 --> 0:00:41.629
<v Speaker 1>few weeks? Because it does feel like they're rounding into form.

0:00:43.550 --> 0:00:46.910
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think part of it is the schedule lightening up.

0:00:47.470 --> 0:00:50.580
<v Speaker 3>You look at the schedule for the Broncos, starting out

0:00:50.630 --> 0:00:53.380
<v Speaker 3>Monday night football on the road against Kansas City. You

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 3>had the Jaguars, which you guys know down in that

0:00:57.020 --> 0:01:00.540
<v Speaker 3>part of the area, different conference certainly. And then you

0:01:00.580 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 3>got the Rams and the 49ers and the Seahawks. Some

0:01:03.820 --> 0:01:06.980
<v Speaker 3>of these matchups were just really... really tough in that stretch.

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.300
<v Speaker 3>So the Broncos, you know, scratching out a 4-2 record

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 3>to start the first six, and now 6-2. I think

0:01:12.980 --> 0:01:15.700
<v Speaker 3>they're starting to figure some things out, especially on the

0:01:15.780 --> 0:01:17.700
<v Speaker 3>offensive side of the ball. We're seeing a lot more

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 3>confidence from them. You know, the defense has been playing

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 3>at a pretty good level, even though they're a little

0:01:21.980 --> 0:01:23.820
<v Speaker 3>banged up. So it's just kind of all kind of

0:01:23.860 --> 0:01:25.900
<v Speaker 3>coming together for the team. I mean, this is kind

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 3>of what they did last year, a little bit of

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.839
<v Speaker 3>a slower start, and then they started to pick up

0:01:29.910 --> 0:01:32.490
<v Speaker 3>some things, and especially on offense, and kind of get

0:01:32.510 --> 0:01:33.509
<v Speaker 3>their confidence together.

0:01:33.860 --> 0:01:36.460
<v Speaker 2>Ryan, we're doing a constant vibe check around here, as

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure most NFL cities do, with the play of

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback. It's been a little up and down here

0:01:42.260 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 2>of late for Bryce Young. What are the current vibes

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.340
<v Speaker 2>right now with Bo Nix at the helm of the Broncos?

0:01:49.890 --> 0:01:52.309
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's mixed. I mean, it's going to be mixed.

0:01:53.130 --> 0:01:56.390
<v Speaker 3>I mean, remarkably, as you're talking about Bryce Young, I'm

0:01:56.430 --> 0:01:59.660
<v Speaker 3>sure you guys had similar conversations out there. right before

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.110
<v Speaker 3>you started to think about paying him. And it's kind

0:02:03.130 --> 0:02:05.850
<v Speaker 3>of that way out here. It's like, okay, well, after

0:02:05.870 --> 0:02:08.470
<v Speaker 3>this third year, the Broncos could technically give him a

0:02:08.510 --> 0:02:11.150
<v Speaker 3>contract extension, but there's a lot of people that are

0:02:11.190 --> 0:02:12.690
<v Speaker 3>kind of like, I'd like to see at least one

0:02:12.730 --> 0:02:14.530
<v Speaker 3>more year, or maybe he goes on a bit of

0:02:14.570 --> 0:02:16.859
<v Speaker 3>a run and we'll see. But right now, I think

0:02:17.060 --> 0:02:19.630
<v Speaker 3>most Broncos fans are kind of like, Yeah, I like

0:02:19.669 --> 0:02:23.490
<v Speaker 3>those fourth quarter comebacks. You certainly like winning. But this

0:02:23.550 --> 0:02:26.620
<v Speaker 3>last week, for example, they had 3-3 announced in the

0:02:26.630 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 3>third quarter. They barely moved the ball. They barely possessed

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.500
<v Speaker 3>the ball. And the Broncos' defense has more snaps than

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 3>any other defense in the NFL right now. And as

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 3>a result of that, it's just a lot of pressure.

0:02:37.460 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 3>And you've got to know eventually that's going to wear

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 3>down this defense if the offense doesn't really pick things

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 3>up here soon. They don't have a consistent run game.

0:02:44.700 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 3>That's not all on Bo Nix, but... I mean, it's

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.580
<v Speaker 3>part of it because he throws so short of the

0:02:49.660 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 3>sticks more than any other quarterback, right? And it's all

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.239
<v Speaker 3>that short to intermediate stuff that teams just kind of

0:02:56.300 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 3>key in on. So it's all part and parcel. Right now,

0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:02.380
<v Speaker 3>I think that the Broncos fans are allowing this thing

0:03:02.419 --> 0:03:04.620
<v Speaker 3>to kind of play out a bit because they keep winning.

0:03:05.020 --> 0:03:06.930
<v Speaker 3>But I tell you what, if they start losing some games,

0:03:06.970 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 3>this thing could turn quick.

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>We're talking to Ryan Edwards. KOA Radio covers the Broncos

0:03:13.900 --> 0:03:16.899
<v Speaker 1>out there in Denver. I will say this, though. You

0:03:16.940 --> 0:03:20.179
<v Speaker 1>look at his splits, and this goes in line with

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.540
<v Speaker 1>the four fourth-quarter comebacks he's had. He is a way

0:03:23.590 --> 0:03:27.850
<v Speaker 1>better quarterback statistically in the second half. He's had moments

0:03:28.010 --> 0:03:31.010
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter. Is there something to it? Is

0:03:31.030 --> 0:03:35.550
<v Speaker 1>there some Bo Nix magic there? How much do fans

0:03:35.590 --> 0:03:38.850
<v Speaker 1>give him credit for that element of this season?

0:03:40.090 --> 0:03:43.070
<v Speaker 3>Oh, they certainly appreciate it. And there's that feeling, like

0:03:43.150 --> 0:03:46.250
<v Speaker 3>even this last week against Kansas City after the third quarter,

0:03:46.290 --> 0:03:48.869
<v Speaker 3>you're just like, I mean, nothing's going right. But yet...

0:03:49.470 --> 0:03:51.670
<v Speaker 3>Even though they're down 11, you still think they have

0:03:51.710 --> 0:03:53.570
<v Speaker 3>a chance. And as soon as the Kansas City Chiefs

0:03:53.610 --> 0:03:57.630
<v Speaker 3>punted the ball with like 13-13 remaining in the fourth quarter, man,

0:03:57.650 --> 0:04:00.030
<v Speaker 3>he just turns it on. And they just went on

0:04:00.070 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 3>to win the game. And they do that over and

0:04:01.460 --> 0:04:03.500
<v Speaker 3>over again. Last year, the Giants game where they had

0:04:03.540 --> 0:04:07.300
<v Speaker 3>a 30-point comeback. I mean, it's weird, right? I mean,

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.860
<v Speaker 3>it's almost Tebow-esque in a lot of ways, but he's

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.250
<v Speaker 3>got more tools. He's got more tools in the tool

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.390
<v Speaker 3>belt than Tebow ever did. And trust me, I covered

0:04:14.410 --> 0:04:18.530
<v Speaker 3>that team, so I would know. He just... You give

0:04:18.550 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 3>him credit for it, but you also are trying to

0:04:21.630 --> 0:04:23.750
<v Speaker 3>look at him in the prism of a franchise quarterback.

0:04:24.070 --> 0:04:26.900
<v Speaker 3>And it's like, all right, well, you kind of want

0:04:26.940 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 3>a little bit more from that guy. So, again, you

0:04:29.940 --> 0:04:32.099
<v Speaker 3>get excited about it. You love that this team has

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.660
<v Speaker 3>a belief internally, not only in Bo, but also in themselves,

0:04:35.980 --> 0:04:39.339
<v Speaker 3>that they can come back for most anything. That being said, again,

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.580
<v Speaker 3>people keep questioning how sustainable ultimately is it. But, again,

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.380
<v Speaker 3>until it's proven otherwise, they'll find a way.

0:04:46.110 --> 0:04:49.409
<v Speaker 2>That's the voice of Ryan Edwards, our friend from KOA

0:04:49.490 --> 0:04:52.550
<v Speaker 2>Radio out there in Denver, afternoon drive host and pre-

0:04:52.670 --> 0:04:56.490
<v Speaker 2>and post-host for the Broncos as well. Ryan, I'm sure

0:04:56.529 --> 0:05:00.409
<v Speaker 2>you're aware the Panthers made a defensive coordinator change last

0:05:00.470 --> 0:05:04.070
<v Speaker 2>week in large part because of what Chicago and Tampa

0:05:04.540 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 2>did on the ground to this team. How do you

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 2>view the matchup of the Panthers' defense versus the Broncos'

0:05:10.540 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 2>run game, and how worried should we be about the Broncos'

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 2>running backs in this matchup?

0:05:16.940 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, every time you have a coordinator change,

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 3>that adds a little bit of a different wrinkle, no

0:05:23.260 --> 0:05:26.210
<v Speaker 3>question about it. I mean, I know how much the

0:05:26.250 --> 0:05:29.169
<v Speaker 3>fingerprints of a team can really change midseason with a

0:05:29.270 --> 0:05:32.410
<v Speaker 3>coordinator change. But, I mean, you have play callers. It's

0:05:32.430 --> 0:05:35.210
<v Speaker 3>the same conversation, right? It's like, all right, well, you're

0:05:35.230 --> 0:05:36.830
<v Speaker 3>doing this to shake things up. How much can you

0:05:36.890 --> 0:05:39.420
<v Speaker 3>actually shake things up because you still have the same personnel?

0:05:40.020 --> 0:05:44.180
<v Speaker 3>But the Broncos' rushing attack has really not gotten on

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.109
<v Speaker 3>track because it's Yeah, no, Jonah Coleman had a bit

0:05:48.150 --> 0:05:50.950
<v Speaker 3>of a breakout game this last week. But, you know,

0:05:50.970 --> 0:05:54.690
<v Speaker 3>only 11 carries. He's definitely going to be this. He

0:05:54.730 --> 0:05:57.190
<v Speaker 3>may not start the game, but he'll be the guy

0:05:57.210 --> 0:05:59.589
<v Speaker 3>that plays the most. He's the rookie running back out

0:05:59.610 --> 0:06:02.270
<v Speaker 3>of Washington. So he's going to be the guy that

0:06:02.290 --> 0:06:04.730
<v Speaker 3>you're going to see the most. And he's really projected

0:06:04.770 --> 0:06:06.570
<v Speaker 3>the three down back. And he's got plus hands out

0:06:06.589 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 3>of the backfield. He's great in pass pro. runs hard

0:06:09.140 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 3>between the tackles. Some really nice things that we like

0:06:11.930 --> 0:06:14.430
<v Speaker 3>about Jonah Coleman. And the compliment to him is J.K. Dobbins,

0:06:14.810 --> 0:06:17.090
<v Speaker 3>who is just a shell of what he was prior.

0:06:17.130 --> 0:06:19.410
<v Speaker 3>Last year, he's averaging five yards per carry before he

0:06:19.450 --> 0:06:23.130
<v Speaker 3>got hurt. This year, he's in the low threes. And honestly,

0:06:23.150 --> 0:06:26.790
<v Speaker 3>even this last week, he was under two. So it's

0:06:26.830 --> 0:06:28.690
<v Speaker 3>a one-two punch, which really more like one and a

0:06:28.730 --> 0:06:31.540
<v Speaker 3>half punch at this point. So yeah, I imagine the

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.140
<v Speaker 3>Broncos are looking at this matchup against Carolina and knowing

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.820
<v Speaker 3>that they've struggled stopping the run. hoping to maybe get

0:06:36.860 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 3>a little more success going there. But once again, they

0:06:40.660 --> 0:06:43.460
<v Speaker 3>haven't shown to be a team that not only consistently

0:06:43.500 --> 0:06:46.409
<v Speaker 3>attempts to run the ball, but they give up on

0:06:46.450 --> 0:06:49.630
<v Speaker 3>it pretty quick. So that's going to be the fascinating

0:06:49.670 --> 0:06:52.110
<v Speaker 3>thing for me, is even in plus matchups against the run,

0:06:52.490 --> 0:06:53.580
<v Speaker 3>they don't always commit to it.

0:06:54.710 --> 0:06:57.210
<v Speaker 1>Got to ask you about this defense, the talent you

0:06:57.230 --> 0:06:59.870
<v Speaker 1>guys have there on defense. And if you look at

0:06:59.910 --> 0:07:03.900
<v Speaker 1>the stats, a lot of the numbers show Don't, you know,

0:07:03.940 --> 0:07:06.300
<v Speaker 1>maybe indicate the talent you have. It does seem like

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the defense is picking up. I think it's like 18

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>points a game in the last four. They've got Sertan back.

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.820
<v Speaker 1>What's going on with this defense right now? And what

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.250
<v Speaker 1>about specifically the pass rush up front? Because I know

0:07:19.270 --> 0:07:22.250
<v Speaker 1>you've probably seen it. Bryce Young can't breathe on a

0:07:22.290 --> 0:07:23.870
<v Speaker 1>drop back right now, you know?

0:07:25.050 --> 0:07:28.210
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, I've seen some of your issues with the

0:07:28.270 --> 0:07:31.030
<v Speaker 3>offensive line. We were watching that primetime game last week.

0:07:31.970 --> 0:07:35.390
<v Speaker 3>I'd say the pass rush is still really, really good.

0:07:35.430 --> 0:07:36.630
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they get a lot of pressures. They got

0:07:36.650 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 3>like 24 pressures against Jacoby Brissett a couple weeks ago.

0:07:41.700 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 3>They're going to light them up, and they sort of

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 3>feel like they have to because they're probably going to

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.900
<v Speaker 3>be down their top two safeties in this game. They

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.290
<v Speaker 3>got all their cornerbacks back. They've been missing a couple

0:07:51.310 --> 0:07:53.490
<v Speaker 3>of those guys. Those guys are all returned and are

0:07:53.510 --> 0:07:56.490
<v Speaker 3>good to go. But when you're missing Talanoa Hufanga and

0:07:56.530 --> 0:07:59.870
<v Speaker 3>Brandon Jones in the back end, you know, that, that,

0:07:59.890 --> 0:08:01.610
<v Speaker 3>that could be problematic. Now we'll see what the rest

0:08:01.630 --> 0:08:05.870
<v Speaker 3>of the practice reports, but two DNPs yesterday. So that's

0:08:05.930 --> 0:08:09.530
<v Speaker 3>my expectation, but yeah, I mean, the pass rush, Nick Benito,

0:08:09.590 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Jonathan Cooper returned after being on the exempt list. And

0:08:13.820 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 3>he looked like he really didn't skip a beat. They

0:08:15.860 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 3>just come at you in waves. So it's going to

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 3>be a challenge there because that's, that's how Vijay wants

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 3>to win this game. He's going to try to light

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.460
<v Speaker 3>up the quarterback, really speed things up. And so that's

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 3>going to help hopefully help out the secondary.

0:08:28.810 --> 0:08:30.620
<v Speaker 2>Ryan, what do you think the ceiling is for this

0:08:31.020 --> 0:08:34.030
<v Speaker 2>Broncos team in the AFC right now with the other

0:08:34.070 --> 0:08:34.650
<v Speaker 2>top contenders?

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.100
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, right now, I mean, they're turning to

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.900
<v Speaker 3>win the AFC West, which is obviously their first goal, right?

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.900
<v Speaker 3>They say that every year. I feel like, you know,

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 3>once again, with this formula, if the offense can kind

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 3>of figure some things out here, find some consistency somewhere,

0:08:50.950 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 3>and again, I'm asking a lot apparently, but if they

0:08:53.140 --> 0:08:56.110
<v Speaker 3>can get that, then I feel like they could go

0:08:56.130 --> 0:08:59.790
<v Speaker 3>all the way, really, legitimately. I mean, the AFC is loaded, obviously,

0:08:59.809 --> 0:09:01.330
<v Speaker 3>a lot of talent, but there's teams that are kind

0:09:01.370 --> 0:09:02.730
<v Speaker 3>of falling off. We don't know what's going to happen

0:09:02.750 --> 0:09:06.790
<v Speaker 3>with Baltimore, for example. Houston obviously didn't have the season.

0:09:06.809 --> 0:09:10.310
<v Speaker 3>Same thing with the Chargers. So all of a sudden,

0:09:10.350 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 3>the path is absolutely there, but they kind of need

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.319
<v Speaker 3>to be playing at home. Again, they can win.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:16.719
<v Speaker 2>On the road.

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 3>They're a little bit of a different team there. having

0:09:20.260 --> 0:09:22.780
<v Speaker 3>the home field advantage for this team, they really lean

0:09:22.850 --> 0:09:25.290
<v Speaker 3>into it a lot. So if they can somehow secure

0:09:25.330 --> 0:09:28.969
<v Speaker 3>that one seed, they got the Buffalo Bills on Christmas

0:09:29.050 --> 0:09:31.250
<v Speaker 3>Day out here, so it might literally be for the

0:09:31.350 --> 0:09:33.970
<v Speaker 3>one seed at that point. But if they can somehow

0:09:34.290 --> 0:09:35.970
<v Speaker 3>find a way into the one seed, I really like

0:09:35.990 --> 0:09:36.490
<v Speaker 3>their chances.

0:09:36.510 --> 0:09:39.030
<v Speaker 1>All right, last question about Sean Payton. Take it with

0:09:39.070 --> 0:09:42.890
<v Speaker 1>a grain of salt, because myself and many Panther fans

0:09:42.910 --> 0:09:45.660
<v Speaker 1>here in Carolina know Can't stand the man after our

0:09:45.700 --> 0:09:48.579
<v Speaker 1>battles against him when he was in our division. I mean,

0:09:48.620 --> 0:09:52.380
<v Speaker 1>when they swept Carolina three games, including a playoff game,

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.090
<v Speaker 1>and Sean had a broom afterwards. I mean, things like

0:09:56.110 --> 0:09:58.929
<v Speaker 1>that stick in our memories. There was the incident with

0:09:58.950 --> 0:09:59.590
<v Speaker 1>him and J.C.

0:09:59.630 --> 0:09:59.790
<v Speaker 3>Horn.

0:10:00.220 --> 0:10:03.900
<v Speaker 1>With each other a couple years ago when Denver played Carolina.

0:10:04.250 --> 0:10:06.150
<v Speaker 1>But I do want to ask about him taking the

0:10:06.190 --> 0:10:11.030
<v Speaker 1>play calling back. One is, has there been a noticeable

0:10:11.130 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>uptick in your opinion? But then secondly, do people there

0:10:14.700 --> 0:10:18.140
<v Speaker 1>in Denver feel like that was cruel? Because I know

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>him giving Davis Webb the play calling kind of kept

0:10:20.860 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Davis Webb from leaving the organization. Was that seen as

0:10:24.460 --> 0:10:26.850
<v Speaker 1>kind of shady? Like, hey, I'll give him this play

0:10:26.870 --> 0:10:29.330
<v Speaker 1>calling to keep him here, but I might just snatch

0:10:29.390 --> 0:10:31.530
<v Speaker 1>it away. Talk about that a little bit.

0:10:32.860 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was met with some mixed reactions. I mean,

0:10:37.300 --> 0:10:39.370
<v Speaker 3>there were some people that just expected it to happen

0:10:39.390 --> 0:10:41.610
<v Speaker 3>at some point. Maybe this was on the earlier side

0:10:41.630 --> 0:10:46.170
<v Speaker 3>than some thought would be the case. But it was

0:10:46.270 --> 0:10:48.890
<v Speaker 3>one of those like, all right, well, I mean, I

0:10:48.910 --> 0:10:50.949
<v Speaker 3>understand you're doing this. We understand you're doing this to

0:10:50.990 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 3>keep him here. Certainly Bo Nix wants him to stay here.

0:10:54.420 --> 0:10:57.180
<v Speaker 3>We get all that. He was given a brand new

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.699
<v Speaker 3>contract as a result of it. So we felt like

0:10:59.740 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 3>that was just everybody getting along. But there's a lot

0:11:03.220 --> 0:11:06.429
<v Speaker 3>of arrogance, as you pointed out there. and and certainly

0:11:06.530 --> 0:11:10.130
<v Speaker 3>for Sean this was only a matter of time again

0:11:10.150 --> 0:11:11.929
<v Speaker 3>it was a little on the earlier side for me

0:11:12.090 --> 0:11:14.449
<v Speaker 3>I really bought into the idea of him trying to

0:11:14.510 --> 0:11:16.790
<v Speaker 3>be in a bit more of an executive role where

0:11:16.809 --> 0:11:19.270
<v Speaker 3>he got to oversee all parts of the team allow

0:11:19.290 --> 0:11:21.599
<v Speaker 3>the offense to function like the offense and just give

0:11:21.630 --> 0:11:25.150
<v Speaker 3>his feedback but he decided no I've seen enough we

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 3>need to do better at some things I feel like

0:11:27.300 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 3>they've They've had a little bit more commitment to the

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 3>run game. They utilize the fullback a little bit more,

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 3>which is better for them when they do that. I

0:11:35.300 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 3>think that there was a little bit more razzle-dazzle with

0:11:39.020 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Davis Webb. Again, it's great, and I think later on

0:11:42.179 --> 0:11:44.260
<v Speaker 3>in the season, some of that razzle-dazzle might work out.

0:11:44.300 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 3>But while Bo Nix was struggling, it felt like he

0:11:46.580 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 3>was having a hard time kind of connecting with all

0:11:49.140 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 3>of it. And again, it just was an offense sort

0:11:51.900 --> 0:11:55.300
<v Speaker 3>of stuck in neutral. So I understood it. Again, a

0:11:55.380 --> 0:11:57.709
<v Speaker 3>little on the early side to ultimately do it, but

0:11:57.790 --> 0:12:01.010
<v Speaker 3>once again, when you have that kind of arrogance, you

0:12:01.030 --> 0:12:02.050
<v Speaker 3>really can't be slowed down.

0:12:02.330 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 1>All right, there you go. He's playing to us, Boney.

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.180
<v Speaker 1>He's using the word arrogant for Coach Payton. All right,

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.570
<v Speaker 1>I like that. He is honest. He is Ryan Edwards,

0:12:09.610 --> 0:12:13.210
<v Speaker 1>KOA Radio in Denver. Thanks for the insight, brother. We

0:12:13.230 --> 0:12:14.090
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you, man.

0:12:15.210 --> 0:12:16.340
<v Speaker 3>Anytime, guys. Thanks, Ryan.
