It's the Heroes Thank You, presented by Common Spirit, 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: Health and Fix. At twenty four to seven, we're gonna 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: hear some more sound from Peyton Manning. He was talking 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: about the Broncos and bo Nix and what he's hoping 9 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: to see here in the postseason. There wasn't an interesting 10 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: part of that conversation that they got into. Ben is 11 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: crunching numbers on what he thinks Jacksonville would be favored 12 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: by if they were coming to Denver. You and I 13 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: disagree with Ben's assessment, but we'll get to that in 14 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: a second. 15 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: Well only disagreed because the numbers started at three and 16 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: a half. 17 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: Okay, I've done the math. I was wrong two and 18 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: a half. 19 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 3: Jacks. 20 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: What happens maybe save two and a half, I'd say 21 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: I was wrong. 22 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 4: New England would be would be getting a half a 23 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 4: point here, Pittsburgh would be getting a point here, Jackson 24 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 4: will be a two and a half point favorite. 25 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: I think let me just interject as you continue, I 26 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: think you're dead wrong on pitt would I think Denver 27 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: would be at least a three point favorite, maybe maybe 28 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: three and a half for. 29 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: The generic opening line based on the you know you 30 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: can put that line. 31 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: If Pittsburgh would come to do and Pittsburgh would be 32 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: plus one, everybody, including maybe those in Pittsburgh, would be 33 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: at Denver. 34 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 4: The other numbers we have, Buffalo would be a one 35 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 4: and a half point dog, Houston be a two and 36 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 4: a half point favorite. LA would be one a one 37 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 4: point favorite, Ruffalo will be a dog. Buffalo will be 38 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 4: one and a half point dog. Okay, to start now, 39 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 4: those lines betting those lines, but that's roughly based on 40 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 4: how Vegas roughly sets those lines to begin with. 41 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: That's rough math. 42 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think it's probably close. 43 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I guess you only for play differential. I'd 44 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: be pleasantly surprised if the Broncos were favorite in a 45 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: Bills matchup here in Denver. 46 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: But really wouldn't matter, we would. We just care about 47 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: who has more points at the game. 48 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. That's exactly right. So before we hear 49 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: that saw Sath for big Manning, he did ask Kevin 50 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: Clark asked Peyton, of the coaches currently in the playoffs 51 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: right now, which one would you want to play for 52 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: if you had an opportunity to play for one of 53 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: these coaches? You want to take a guess which coach? 54 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: I have not heard the clip? 55 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: Yep. 56 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: The coaches currently in the NFL playoffs, either conference. 57 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: Either conference. I can narrow it down for you if 58 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: you want it. 59 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: I would say, he would say, Sean McVay, you nailed it, 60 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: Sean McVay. 61 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,279 Speaker 3: I was going to say Kyle Shanahan the second. 62 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: Yep, and he did. He did mention Kyle Shanahan. That's remarkable. 63 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: Why why did you say that? 64 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 3: Well, I mean. 65 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: Smart football guys like smart football guys. 66 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think that would be I think 67 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: that would be one. I mean you look and see. 68 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: I mean Matthew Stafford's always been I think, an excellent quarterback, 69 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: but he's been better since he got to LA and 70 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: played in that system. So Sean McVeigh just has the 71 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: reputation and I think he's earned it as being a 72 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: player's coach, but smart as hell, very creative on offense. 73 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: Has has a more than a solid run game and 74 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: a belief that you have to run it in order 75 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: to get involved in what you want to do in 76 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: the passing game, which I totally believe and I just 77 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: think Peyton would be aware of that. 78 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 1: Is that who you'd pick if you had a chance 79 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: to play again? 80 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 3: Is at my age? 81 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, just thrown it out there, you know, wide receiver. 82 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: No, I think that, Yeah, McVeigh would be. I mean 83 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: McVeigh or Kyle. I mean, I'm pretty familiar with a 84 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: lot of stuff that Kyle does, and it is it 85 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: is cutting edge stuff for sure. I think the personalities 86 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: of both of those players, both of those coaches, I 87 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: think both of them can really get after you as 88 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: a player. I think Kyle exceeds Sean in in that regard, 89 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: and I think I think Kyle's probably modified a little 90 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: bit of that. You know, But Kyle, Kyle is. 91 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: A hard charger. 92 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 2: He's the guy that believes, you know, he holds players accountable. 93 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: I think it's one of the things that has made 94 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: made him successful. And I think he is brilliant, as 95 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: is McVeigh in looking at a defense and trying to dissect. 96 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: Let me find the two most glaring weaknesses of your defense, 97 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: and how can I, with different personnel groupings and different formations, 98 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 2: how can I make you think that I'm doing something else? 99 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: But invariably I'm going to get at one of those 100 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: two glaring weaknesses that you have on defense. 101 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: I think it's perfectly said. Would I be I mean, 102 00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: you don't play ben, but that will be the I mean, yeah, 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: I think Kyle and I. 104 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 4: I think everybody knows I got a little bit of 105 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 4: a smart mouth, and I think that probably wouldn't go 106 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 4: with Kyle and I would butt heads a little bit 107 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: in that regard. I probably need somebody who's a little 108 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: more willing to put up with my smart mouth than 109 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 4: he would be. But beyond that, I mean, there's you know, 110 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 4: wanting to play for some of your friends would be 111 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 4: some of it too. 112 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: Do you think Sean would put up he would find Well, 113 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: I know that he. 114 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: I know that he appreciates my brand of humor. 115 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that I think that publicly he would 116 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 4: put me. 117 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm blest it may have once before too. 118 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 4: I think that I would like to play for I'd 119 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 4: like to play for guys that I know and you know, 120 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 4: I've known I'd love to play for Dave Canalis because 121 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 4: I've known him for a long time. I'd love to 122 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 4: play for John Ganne because I've known him for a 123 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 4: long time. 124 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: You know, those kinds of things. Yeah, but sometimes the 125 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: guys you don't know get get the best at all. 126 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, and again, getting the best out of me is 127 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 4: still not even close to being qualified for the NFL. 128 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: But you know, at the end of the day, yes, 129 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 4: I believe Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay are guys that 130 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: would probably get the best out of me. 131 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: Maybe not Kyle because again we probably bicker a lot. 132 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: I think it would be entertaining Vicker ntil they cut me, 133 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: but it'd be entertaining to have Sean Payton trying to 134 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: coach you. Uh, how that would last a day? Last 135 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: the day? Like, Wow, Ben's already been cut. 136 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 4: They're announcing his signing and his cut in the same tweet. 137 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: So here's that Peyton manning sound I was mentioning earlier 138 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: talking about bo Nix and the Broncos winning the AFC 139 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: West Look. 140 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 5: Bon Knicks has been heavily scrutinized for a second year quarterback. 141 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 5: They just led his team to the to their first 142 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 5: division since twenty fifteen. Look, the one seed that doesn't 143 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 5: excite me as much as winning that division that has 144 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 5: been the Chiefs have been the bully in that division. 145 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: Right. 146 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 5: I mean, if there's not a Johnny from Karate Kid 147 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 5: this analogy, I. 148 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 3: Don't know what is right. 149 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 5: They've been the bully and until somebody beats the bully, the. 150 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 3: Best team in the division. 151 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: Right. 152 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 3: So the Broncs went out. 153 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 5: And did it this year, and they they took care 154 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 5: of business in that division. So that's what excites me 155 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 5: about what the team has done. 156 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 3: And Bo has done his part. 157 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 5: Look, it's been good complimentary football. The defense is really good. 158 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 5: BO knows that he makes a lot of plays with 159 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 5: his legs, which don't necessarily show up in the statistics 160 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 5: because the quarterbacks passing statistics probably. 161 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Show up more. 162 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 5: And he's had some days where hasn't been for a 163 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 5: lot of yards, but he's run for some critical third downs. 164 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 5: He's kept the offense on the field, he's kept drives 165 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 5: a lot, he hasn't turned it over. So I'm a 166 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 5: Bo fan what he's done this early in his career. 167 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 5: I think he just says a lot about him. The 168 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 5: team believes in him, and look, he's very honest with himself. 169 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 5: You don't hear him making excuses, and I know he 170 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 5: loves He loved to go out there and go four touchdowns. 171 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 5: He completed seventy five percent every single game. I don't 172 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 5: know if that's, you know, always going to be possible, 173 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 5: but I think he's been a solid winning quarterback this year. 174 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: I'll say that, Yeah. 175 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: He has been solid. I thought it was interesting He's like, 176 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: I actually love winning the afcus more they're getting the 177 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: one seed. There's a bigger deal to me. What do 178 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: you think about his assessment there of Bonnicks. I mean, 179 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: I do think it's a little bit he's trying to 180 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: be raw ross support bo Nicks understanding though I like 181 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: the point about he plays his role in the team. 182 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: I thought that was an interesting one from Peyton there. 183 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Peyton holds bow in high regard, so 184 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: I think what he said is true, and I think 185 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: I think it accurately portrays really the kind of player 186 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: that bo Knicks is. And I think I think the 187 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: thing that struck me as far as what Peyton said 188 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: was I think he's played really well for a guy 189 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: you know, he gets more criticism for a quarterback in 190 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: his second season who just took his team to a 191 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: divisional crown and beat up the bullies on the block 192 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: and oh, by the way, or fourteen and three, and 193 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 2: did I mention they're the number one seed in the AFC. 194 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 2: To me, there's really nothing, I mean, you can break down. 195 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: He doesn't have to be, at this stage of his 196 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 2: career in the top three or four quarterbacks in the world. 197 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: He just doesn't. 198 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: He has to play good enough football and make enough 199 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: plays that his team is in position to win games. 200 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: And he's done that for the most part this year. 201 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: The thing I like most about bo he does not 202 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 2: throw the ball to the other team. 203 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 3: Now you can say, well, I mean at the Giants 204 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: caught the ball. 205 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: There were a couple of games that guys couldn't catch 206 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 2: the ball from a defensive standpoint, I get that. Now, 207 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: are we going to start counting for NFL quarterbacks? We're 208 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: going to start counting, Well, that should have been an interception, 209 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,479 Speaker 2: so there'll be a category. This guy threw seven interceptions 210 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: in the year, but he had ten. It have been 211 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: an interception throws? Is it really worthy plays? 212 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 3: Okay? Well, you know you two analytic little puzzle. 213 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you don't. Don't. 214 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 3: No, No, you quote you know exactly what it was? 215 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: Is that on again clause five? 216 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 2: No, to me, you look at the stats and then 217 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: watch the games and look and see does this guy 218 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: make play? 219 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 3: Can he make plays with his feet? He does. 220 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: He's a really good young quarterback that I think is 221 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: going to get better. No question, we haven't seen the 222 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: best of Boone Nicks. But I think you have to 223 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: tip your cap to the guy and say, job well done, 224 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: young man. 225 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, what was the actual question? He I 226 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 4: don't think he's a liability, so. 227 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: No, I just it was interesting. Never liked him. Oh 228 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: my gosh, you got kidding me? Password is I hate? 229 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: I hate the text line. 230 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: First it was then it was mixed, which is ridiculous 231 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: because I like the biggest team. 232 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: It's a t bow Knicks. 233 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 3: Yeah right, I get it. 234 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: It's sorry, literally the most miserable segment I've ever existed. No. 235 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: I I like the way that Peyton framed that as in, 236 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: he fits the team, like he fits in with what 237 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: they're doing. And I liked that. I think he does too. 238 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 4: I think he's a gritty, you know, quarterback, and I 239 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 4: think he fits in with the mentality that we're talking 240 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 4: about the break youre talking about Sean like a lunch pail. 241 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: Guys. That's that's the epitomes so many times, so many 242 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: times we tend to cover the quarterbacks that are the 243 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: just the outliers, right we talk about the Josh Allens 244 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: and Joe Burrows and Patrick Mahomes and and what those 245 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: guys represented. Of course everybody wants that, but then there's 246 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: something to a guy that fits with what you're trying 247 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: to accomplish. It's a team football game. 248 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 4: Two of those three quarterbacks you mentioned are in the 249 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 4: playoffs this year, so I mean it's a team football game. 250 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: You know, Wow, nice, we'll score there just saying that's good, 251 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: eat it, Sincy. 252 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: In all transparency, that's what maybe I just connected the dots. 253 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 2: Ryan was because you've been a fan boy JJ McCarthy, 254 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: and therefore maybe I deduced that you you don't care 255 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 2: for Bonicks. 256 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: He was a big fan of All nine. All nine. 257 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: That is such a good, like layered joke there for 258 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: Like Twitter, no, man, I I like I like a 259 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. I'm not giving up on JJ McCarthy By 260 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: the way, But I am I'm all Bonix. Bonix is 261 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: our guy. I think he's gonna take us to the 262 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: super Bowl and we're gonna have a hope. 263 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 3: Well, why are you grinning? 264 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: Are your fingers crossed? That's why are you doing there? 265 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: His fingers crossed, not crossed. I've said for a while 266 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: that I think the NFC is is the strength of 267 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: the NFL right now. I think the best teams in 268 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: the league play in the NFC. That's how I feel. 269 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 1: So whoever the end of the Bronco was playing in 270 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: the super Bowl will be favored. And I deservedly think 271 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: that's the case. Doesn't mean the Broncos can't win, just 272 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: the NFC teams are very very good. 273 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 2: How do you think the NFC teams, no matter who 274 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: it is, would be favored no matter who comes out 275 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 2: of the AFC. 276 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: Exception like Carolina, But yes, I think almost anybody else 277 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: would probably be favored. You disagree with that sentiment, I do, Okay. 278 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: I think I think Seattle. I think the Rams would 279 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 2: be a favorite. Let's just say, let's just say the 280 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: Packers come out, and let's just say let's say Denver's 281 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: not in it. Pick a team let's say the Packers 282 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: in Buffalo. You think the Packers will be favored not 283 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: in that circumstances exactly ten seconds ago, Bronx. Yeah, because 284 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: I think you're right there. I think I think a 285 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: lot of people look at how the Broncos have won 286 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: and say, how long can this go on? That's right, 287 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: And the answer would be, well, they're fourteen to three, 288 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: so it doesn't have to go on forever. It just 289 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: has to go on for three more games. 290 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: And I if if they can win these next two 291 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: and get to the super Bowl, they absolutely deserve it. 292 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: And I feel good about the game in the fourth 293 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: quarter if it's within one score, I think that there's 294 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: a good chance for that. I'm just saying going into it. 295 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: Most of the narrative, the dialogue when we're out there 296 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: radio Row Week is as we're getting ready for the game, 297 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: will be about well, the Seahawks, the well the forty 298 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: nine ers if they can somehow survive this thing, the Rams, 299 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles who last year Broncos and a neutral site, 300 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: Oh come on now, no no chance? 301 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 3: Who just what it? Last year? 302 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: The Eagles would not be favorit against the Broncos on 303 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: a neutral site Okay, Well, anyways, a time to discuss that, 304 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: we'll be coming up here and just hope we all. 305 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: We hope there's a time to talk about that. 306 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: So I wanted to play the sound for you for 307 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: a second here, and then in a little bit, I 308 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: want to ask you about Julim McLoughlin if he's in 309 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: for a bigger role going forward. His numbers are been 310 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: pretty good, and I know this has a been all 311 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: bright topic, so I'm giving him some love on this. 312 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: But Garrett Bowles, let me think about the possibility of 313 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: him being the Protector of the Year, the new award 314 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: that they're given out the this is. 315 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: The second year, right, first year, the first year, last year. 316 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: But Gary Boles numbers he has not given it. 317 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: Back, given up, so I would say, And he plays 318 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: on a team that is the number one seed in 319 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: their conference exactly, so I would say he's got I mean, 320 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: who who are the other candidates. He's got to have 321 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: as good a chance as anybody. 322 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: Well, So I was listening to the penny stools in there, 323 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: and so I was listening to to the Athletic podcast, 324 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: and they brought Geary Bulls, right, and I'll play this 325 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: down here a second. They brought Penny Stool. They brought 326 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: up sort of lifetime achievement Trent Williams, you know, because 327 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: just to who he is in the reputation. Uh. They 328 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: brought up Ling Johnson because once again reputation even though 329 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: he's been banged up. But they kind of kept coming 330 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: back to Bulls. So here's here's a little bit of 331 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: the conversation. What they said. 332 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 6: I'm thinking about like the story of the season and 333 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 6: how did we get here and what matters? And I 334 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 6: land on the fact that the Denver Broncos are the 335 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 6: number one seed in the AFC. We don't really like 336 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 6: their quarterback that much. What enabled bo Knicks to play 337 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 6: well enough to lead the Denver Broncos to the number 338 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 6: one seed in the AFC? And you look at it 339 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 6: and you say, Garrett Bowles is one of eight offensive 340 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 6: tackles in the NFL who played four hundred or more 341 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 6: pass blocking slat snaps and allowed fewer than twenty pressures. 342 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 6: He's the only one of those eight who played all 343 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 6: seventeen games and the only one who didn't allow a sack. 344 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 6: He's one of three offensive tackles to play eighty percent 345 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 6: or more of his team's pass blocking snaps and not 346 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 6: surrender sack. And at the end of the day, when 347 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 6: we're when it's razor thin, I think it matters that 348 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 6: he was one of the anchors of an offensive line 349 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 6: that helped the Denver Broncos be the best team in 350 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 6: the AFC. 351 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: So I picked garat Poles made tracks. 352 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: Makes sense to me not to post that. 353 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: It was one of those things that when they first 354 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: brought this up. I think my first inclination was Quentinn 355 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Miners has got to be kind of a conversation, like 356 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: he has a talent to do that. And then we 357 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: have Garret Bowles on every single week and I was like, man, 358 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: what a season for Garrett. And I'm glad he's getting 359 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: some of his flowers day because it's kind of been 360 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: a long time coming, hasn't it. 361 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean you and I talked about this. 362 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: He he he's had moments here as a player that 363 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 2: he's heard it from the fans and you know, fans 364 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,719 Speaker 2: got tired of hearing holding number seventy two. 365 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 3: And he knows that, I mean, Garrett getting to know 366 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 3: him a little. 367 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 2: Bit more this year, he understands he's got a lot 368 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: of what I call football since and so, and he's 369 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: he's addressed that with us as well. How you know, 370 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: he and Courtland have been through some pretty tough times, 371 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 2: some down times here and now here's these two guys 372 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 2: with a chance to I mean, you're two wins away 373 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 2: from going to the super Bowl. So they want to 374 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: they want to take advantage of the situation they're in. 375 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: But I I would think Garre Bowles has as good 376 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: a chance as anybody. He did not give up a sack. 377 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 2: I mean that's the remarkable statistic. And his quarterback threw 378 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 2: the ball more than any quarterback. 379 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: In the NFL this year. 380 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 4: I would say, if you're if you're looking for a tackle, 381 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 4: you would take Garrett Bowles. If you're looking for an 382 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 4: entry lineman, I would take Joe Toney. 383 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 3: That is Joe Tony. Even up there was he nominated? 384 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 3: Do you have to be nominated? 385 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, like final assert anything. This was just 386 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: they were literally blank canvas. 387 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 3: Okay, who would you? 388 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: What would you take? But I'm seeing a lot more. 389 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: I mean even the thirty third team tweeted this out 390 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: this morning, saying left right tackles with two hundred or 391 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: more pass blocking snaps in a regular season that were 392 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: not charged with a sack. Gary Bowles is six hundred 393 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: and seventy four. The next tackle is Luke Getticky with 394 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay with three hundred and eighty four, Zach tom 395 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: with three thirty five, and Lane Johnson with two fifty one. 396 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 3: They're all good players. Well, Philly never throws it. 397 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: No, yeah, that's fair, that's are not much No, no, 398 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: but I mean. 399 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 2: Again, so it's really be Buffalo in Buffalo and in 400 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 2: the second half they did not complete. 401 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 3: A pass right. 402 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing thing I've ever seen. Second time 403 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: this year by they wanted to. 404 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 3: Get to years Yep, It's like, what what's going on here? 405 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: Setting football back fifty sixty years. I know you're a 406 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: big Jalen Hurts guy, Ben Oh, I love him, love yeah, love, love, 407 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: love love all anyways, I just thought it was cool 408 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: to hear them but independently giving him some love. I 409 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: don't like the backhanded nature of it, Like we don't 410 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: like Bo Nixon. The only reason he's having successes because 411 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: Garrett Bowles and the offensive line is doing that. I 412 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: think that's a little bit disingenuous as far as analysis. 413 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean, what did you think of that's what a 414 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: backhanded I think. 415 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 2: It's become almost in vogue, and I think they're I mean, 416 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: it's amazing how certain members of the media and this 417 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 2: it's it's been going on for a while. You listen 418 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: to other members of the media and then you formulate 419 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: your opinion is based on what you hear them say. 420 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 2: Not to say that every guy that is not high 421 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 2: on bow Knicks hasn't watched the Broncos. I'm not saying that, 422 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 2: but I think, and certainly I'm acknowledging being here in 423 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: Denver and calling the games, I probably have a better 424 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: appreciation of what Nix brings to a team that I 425 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 2: think is really good. I give everybody out there the naysayers, 426 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 2: I say, yes, yes, they've won in unbelievable fashion, Yes, 427 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: improbable at times. They've been inefficient offensively at times, they've 428 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: had stretches of play offensively more than defensively where you're 429 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: just not sure what you're looking at. I get it, 430 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: But again, the most important statistic in football is. 431 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 3: Wins and losses. Everything else you can make. 432 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: Look, you know, you have to acknowledge you we got 433 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: to get better than this and our third down efficiency, 434 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 2: and we weren't any good in the red zone the 435 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 2: last two games. We're going to change that for the 436 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: upcoming playoff game. All of that is true, but you 437 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: still won fourteen out of seventeen games, and really, if 438 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 2: you want to get right down to it, there are 439 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: four points away from being sixteen to one. So but 440 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: you could go the other way with all the close 441 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 2: wins too. I'm just anxious for the playoffs. I'm anxious 442 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: for the Broncos game. Doesn't really matter who it is, 443 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 2: because I know it's going to be a good team 444 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: and let's you know what, let's line up and buckle 445 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 2: up and let's go see what everybody has. 446 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 4: Don't have to be the highest scoring team in the country, 447 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 4: just the highest scoring team in the stadium that day. 448 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: You know, there's something that's been kind of bothering me 449 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: about the way I view this game coming up next 450 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: weekend is that when the Broncos played the Green Bay 451 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: Packers and Bonix, I mean he went off. He had 452 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 1: an unbelievable performance in that game, right, four touchdowns, I believe, 453 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: four passing touchdowns and in a single handed was a 454 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: big reason why something I never viewed him as long 455 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: for the ride anyways, But like that game specifically I 456 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: point to when anybody asked me why I believe in Bonnicks, 457 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, look what he did against Green Bay, who 458 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: is one of the hottest teams in the NFL at 459 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: that time. When we covered that game, everybody thought green 460 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: Bay was coming into Denver to win that game. And 461 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: here the Broncos did. They just went right after him. 462 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: Now you fast forward a few games later, they're playing 463 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: quote unquote down to opponents. They felt like they were 464 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: just doing enough to get by against the Chiefs and 465 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: against the Chargers when they didn't have to play their 466 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: A game. So that's what I keep coming back to, 467 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: is like, well, look, if you get better competition, they're 468 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: going to play up to it. And I think Bonnis 469 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: is going to rise that occasion. 470 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: Here's how close I would challenge anybody with. 471 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 2: Like the Chiefs game, right, I mean that game was 472 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 2: tied to thirteen in the fourth quarter, Broncos find a 473 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 2: way to win it was it twenty to thirteen? Yep, 474 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 2: I thought final score. The Broncos in that game, if 475 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: memory serves, had four drives that were. 476 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 3: Double digit plays. 477 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: At least or more than or right at nine minutes. 478 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 2: They got in the red zone two times three times 479 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: I think, and had to settle for. 480 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: Field goals twice. 481 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: So even if you do the math there and you 482 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 2: add an additional eight points, which would be two of 483 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: those trips they settled for three, that's twenty eight thirteen. 484 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 2: So there's such a fine margin, you know you can 485 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: I mean, they dominated that game the only way the 486 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: chief scored and rightfully so. Both throws a deflected interception, 487 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 2: they get it on the thirty five yard line. The 488 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: Chiefs then had a forty five yard punt return. They 489 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 2: start on the plus forty five, they get a field 490 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 2: goal out of that. That's ten points. They had thirteen total. 491 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: What are we what are we talking about in terms 492 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 2: of you know, they didn't do this and they played 493 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: down to an opponent or they didn't Kansas City's defense 494 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 2: played a bunch of their guys in that game, just 495 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 2: like the Chargers defense played a bunch of their guys 496 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 2: in the regular season finale here. I mean, the Chargers 497 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 2: defense is difficult and Drake May's going to find out 498 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: about it come whatever night they play Sunday. 499 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, did the Chiefs did what they crossed 500 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 4: the fifty yard line what three times in that game, 501 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 4: and two of those was the deflected interception and the 502 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 4: putt return, and they started That's what I'm saying. Two 503 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 4: of those that started in plus territory. They only crossed 504 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 4: the fifty yard line one other time. That game was 505 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 4: complete domination for the le Broncos, even though the score 506 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 4: didn't look like it. 507 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: It's the same thing with the Raiders game. 508 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 4: That's why I was like, are they you know in 509 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 4: the Chargers game you had they were playing, you know, 510 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 4: they didn't take a single what one deep shot all game? 511 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 4: Sean Payton wouldn't turn the football over. He knew he's 512 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 4: gonna win on field goals. 513 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 3: I'm not. 514 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 4: I'm not holding that against them as far as that 515 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 4: kind of stuff goes just feels like, as we were 516 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 4: talking yesterday, the hope or the thing you'd like to 517 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 4: see the improve on, I just sort of feel like 518 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 4: they understand all those things that we talked about now 519 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 4: opening things up for bo. 520 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: You talked about a memoir in the run game, we 521 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: talked about maybe a little more aggressive.

Yeah, it's a great story. 587 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 4: Golden can move into number three all time and uh, 588 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 4: college football head coaches wins in the playoffs. It's remarkable. 589 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 4: How ridiculous is that stat? He can move what into 590 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 4: the SEC coaches SEC coach wins in the playoffs and 591 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 4: his only three games. 592 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: It's only only three games. And Seyman and Kirby smart. Okay, 593 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 2: that's right. Okay, Wow, I didn't know that. Yeah, that's 594 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 2: pretty wild. 595 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: And I did I did? I hear right that some 596 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: of Sulaane Kiffin's staff, the ones he took to LSU, 597 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: are also sharing time in prep for these games. 598 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: Like they're they're wide receiver coach and the tight end coach. Yeah, 599 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: are not coaching in tonight's game. Okay, the offensive coordinator, 600 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 2: the play caller for ole Miss, who's Charlie Weis junior. 601 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 2: He is coaching in tonight's game, but he's also been 602 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 2: dividing his time, uh working for because he will go 603 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: to LSU. 604 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 4: And I would suggest that Charlie Weist junior will be 605 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 4: in the NFL sooner than later. Interesting, Okay, keep your 606 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 4: on that one. About two three years from now. That 607 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 4: would like never happen in the NFL. Like what that 608 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 4: situation you just described. 609 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: No, And I think college football honestly as screwed up 610 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 2: as they are with the portal. I mean that the 611 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 2: timing of the portal could not been could not be worse. 612 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: Can you just figure out a time to put the 613 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: portal where coaches that are in the playoffs don't have 614 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: to I mean that, you know. 615 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 3: I saw an interview today from Pete Golding that was. 616 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 2: Talking about not only does he have to prepare for 617 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: tonight's game, which is a chance with a win to 618 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: go to the National Championship Game. I would think it's 619 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: pretty important. He has to prepare for the portal. He 620 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: has to see who's in the portal, He has to 621 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: try to deal with his own players at Mississippi and 622 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 2: try to convince the ones that he doesn't want. 623 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 3: To go in the portals. It's it's crazy, It's absolutely crazy. 624 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 6: That is. 625 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, the timing, I don't know, we've said it for 626 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,239 Speaker 1: a while. You're still figuring that out, like they are 627 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: still figuring it out. But that doesn't make a lot 628 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: of sense to me. And I like to I like 629 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: to believe that I'm open minded about the entire process 630 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: and I and otherwise, Ben, I mean, do you have 631 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: a suggestion off the top of your head on how 632 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: to fix that? Sure? Okay, the class well, I. 633 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 4: Mean there's there's an entire you'd have to change the 634 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 4: entire concept to college football. You need to go to 635 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 4: a British soccer relegation style based on a sale they 636 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 4: may do that. You need to change the portal, the 637 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 4: transfer portals need to be changed to the end of 638 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 4: the college football year, as well as you know, the 639 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 4: coachings all that kind of stuff. 640 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you just need to move it till after 641 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: the year. 642 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 4: And I get that you've got academic years in here, 643 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 4: but are we still pretending these guys are students anyway? 644 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: Dis late in the game, I mean, come. 645 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 2: On, I had a current college football coach tell me 646 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: that he thinks that's the system that will be being. 647 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: A relegation based on salary. Yeah, I mean, I believe 648 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: in the next twenty years, three levels. 649 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, he thinks it's going to be a lot sooner 650 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 3: than twenty years. 651 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: Okay, three levels of play and then you know, arbitrary 652 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: numbers maybe zero nile money to five million, one level, 653 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 2: five to twenty and one level everybody over twenty at 654 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 2: another level. 655 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: Yep. 656 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 4: And I think if you win, you get promoted up 657 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 4: and then you're you know, you're eligible to use that 658 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 4: extra mind or whatever that can actually you actually, I. 659 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 3: Mean you'll change levels based on your play. 660 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 4: Right, I'm one hundred percent with that, and I think 661 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 4: that's the only way that at the end, and I 662 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 4: think you'll you'll it'll be the death of conferences. You'll 663 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 4: see regional affiliations, but it'll go back to being what 664 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 4: the conferences originally were. 665 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: All Right, we'll come back a little bit of conversation 666 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: about Julim McLoughlin.
