1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: The reason we bring it up so often is we

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: had a lot of questions on the text line asking

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: us where Dave is. So there you go, once and

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: for all turning some time off. It's earned it in

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: a very busy season. Of course, he's going to be

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: on the call for the game on Sunday Lebroncos in

7
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Chargers and we head out to the Kawai Commas Spurit

8
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: Health Hotline right now to check in with Shannon Farren

00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: How are you hey, Ryan, Where's Dave? There?

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: It is?

13
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: Yees see, exactly exactly.

14
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

15
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: I get about thirty texts today during the show, no

16
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: matter times we said it, and they'd be like, well,

17
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: where is he? He's going to come in later, Oh,

18
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: he's taking some time. Anyways. It's really good to I

19
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: catch up with you. And obviously a big day in

20
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: the news for the Chargers as your coach Jim Harbaugh

21
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: announced that the quarterback is not going to play justin Herbert,

22
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: what was your reaction.

23
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: To that sign of across? I mean, you all remember

24
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: what happened back in twenty twenty three, when the Chargers

25
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: had already locked up the five seed going into the playoffs.

26
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 5: We came to Denver.

27
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: The Brandon Staley at the coach at the time, made

28
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: the decision to play the starters. Wanted to keep the

29
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: momentum going into the playoffs, and we lost Mike Williams

30
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: late in that game to a season ending back injury.

31
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: Went on the following week to play the wild card

32
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: game in Jacksonville, justin Herbert only had. Anyway, it was

33
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: a disaster, let's.

34
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 5: Not relive it.

35
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: We are very happy as a Chargers people that this

36
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: is the decision. The key starters will sit in Denver,

37
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: which will make your pathway to the number one seed

38
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: that much better. So I'm sure that everybody in Denver

39
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: is just as happy as we are.

40
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 4: Yes, everyone in Denver here is happy.

41
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: But I know there's another guy in charge of the

42
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: country who is definitely happy, and that is Durham James.

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: How was this kind of relationship between jesse Mentor and

44
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: Durham James really kind of help him as sin As

45
00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: a defensive player.

46
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: Derwin James will tell you that jesse Mincher and the

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: defense that he runs well. First of all, It's built

48
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: around letting Derwin do what Derwin does.

49
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 5: But even if Derwin James wasn't.

50
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 2: Here, jesse Minter specializes in looking at a player and

51
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: allowing that player to do what he does best.

52
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 5: Not trying to take a player and fit it into X,

53
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 5: Y or.

54
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: Z system, but to play to a specific player's advantage.

55
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: And that is working out for this defense. It's why

56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: jesse Mincher's name has been batted around as head coach

57
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: next year in the NFL. He has taken this team

58
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: and this defense in a matter of two years and

59
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: changed it completely. He says that he learned that lesson

60
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: back when he was at Michigan and they lost to TCU,

61
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: and they lost to TCU by enlarged by a very

62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: hot young receiver by the name of Quentin Johnson who

63
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: now plays for the Los Angeles Chargers. But he was

64
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: on that plane ride home when he said, this defense

65
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: is so good. What am I missing? And he went

66
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: back to fundamentals and he went back to just physicality.

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: And that is what he has brought from Michigan to

68
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. This is a team that plays physical It

69
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: is what John Jim Harboss using and John Harbaugh I

70
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: absolutely love about a defense, you know, And unfortunately for us,

71
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: Denzel Perriman, who has been playing that physical got unfairly

72
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: penalized by the league in a two game suspension for

73
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: playing football, and we didn't have him against the Texans

74
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 2: and it showed, and we're not going to have him

75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: in Denver, but he'll be back to the playoffs.

76
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Shannon farre and join us here a Chargers sideline report.

77
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the first part of

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: what we were talking about, with the deciding to have

79
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: several players for the Chargers not play. You said the

80
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: fans are supportive of this. It seemed like that to

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: me when I got on Twitter, not only before this

82
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: decision or this announcement happened over the course of the

83
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: weekend instance today, it seemed like most Chargers fans have

84
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: been kind of vocally saying this is what we do,

85
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: and they brought to Mike Williams situation, but they all

86
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: so brought up the fact like, hey, Chargers are already

87
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: in and maybe this gives us a path to the Patriots.

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Does it seem like the a lot of Chargers fans

89
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: are supportive of that idea being the team that they

90
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: face in the first round.

91
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: From what I know, we would very much prefer the

92
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: Patriots when you look at these two teams on paper.

93
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: First of all, the Chargers have beat the Patriots. This

94
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: Patriots team by and large. The Chargers beat the Patriots

95
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: in Foxborough in December of last year forty to seven.

96
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert was good for three touchdowns.

97
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 5: Drake May was there.

98
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: Drake May and what he's done in his second year

99
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: is outstanding. What don't the Patriots have They don't have

100
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 2: a pass rush? What don't the Chargers have an offensive line?

101
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: If the Chargers don't have to contend with a pass rush. Yes,

102
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: they've got a good run defense in New England, but

103
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: we don't have to.

104
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 5: Run the ball.

105
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: We can run the ball, but we don't have to

106
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: with the arsenal that Joe Ortiz is built up for

107
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert following that loss in Houston last year, it's

108
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: explosive on its own. So the Patriots is a much

109
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: better matchup I think for this Los Angeles.

110
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 5: Chargers team than going back to Jacksonville. Nobody wants to

111
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 5: go back to Jacksonville. Nobody wants to face red.

112
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: Heart, red hot Trevor Lawrence right now and that defense

113
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: and Lean Cohen and no one wants any of that,

114
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: And so I think that's what the preference is from

115
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: who from move I've spoken to in Chargers' Nation out

116
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: here in Los Angeles.

117
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure if Quinn Johnson is going to

118
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 3: play in the game on Sunday, But what are your

119
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 3: thoughts about him? And the reason I asked that question

120
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: is because obviously he has big playability, but he hasn't

121
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: always played up to that particular level.

122
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: But what have you seen from him that.

123
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: Make him somewilar a threat if the Charges are to

124
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 3: go deep into playoffs?

125
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 5: I would respectfully disagree about Q.

126
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: The only times he has not played up to his

127
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: potential is when other people have been eating on the field.

128
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert has spread it around this season. Like I mentioned,

129
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: the arsenal has gotten a lot bigger than it was

130
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: last year. Yeah, Q had some early drops in his career, so.

131
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 5: Did Jerry Rice. Q has played outstanding.

132
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: He has played great and contested catches this year.

133
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 5: He has a great deep threat.

134
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: He's a fastward, he's a big body, He's great along

135
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: the sideline and when Justin Herbert needs.

136
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 5: Him, especially in the end zone.

137
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: You know, Q's got eight touchdown receptions this season. I

138
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: mean that's an Antonio Gates number, all right, So he

139
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: has done a great job this season. When the ball

140
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: gets to Q, the thing is is that it's been

141
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: passed around. It's been passed around to Will Disley at

142
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: tight end. You know, Ronda Gabston at tight end. It's

143
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: been passed around with You've got Keenan Allen, You've got

144
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: Lad McConkey, who said all the rookie receiving records in

145
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs last year there in Houston. So there really

146
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: is a lot.

147
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 5: Of people for Justin to distribute the ball to this year.

148
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 5: And Q has had a great year last one.

149
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: I have for you, shand really appreciate the time I'm

150
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: helping us preview this game. For Justin Herbert and postseason's

151
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: success that has so far eluded him, This is an opportunity.

152
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: This is kind of a moment in his career. This

153
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: has been a very good Chargers team. They've been relatively

154
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: under the radar. It's remarkable how good they've been over

155
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: the course of the year. Of course this last game,

156
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: with the exception of that, they've been very, very good

157
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: in really all three phases. So is this what do

158
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: you think this means for his legacy this specific moment,

159
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Say it's the Patriots coming up here in a week,

160
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: what's going to be the mindset of Chargers fans when

161
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: they're watching that and it relates to what they think

162
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: of Justin Herbert's tenure there.

163
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: I think we're far away from talking about what Justin

164
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: Herbert's legacy is, But right now it's doing everything on

165
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: his own with not a lot of help in whatever

166
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: room you want to look in. You know, right now

167
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: this season it's been the offensive line that you know,

168
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: he's playing with six and seventh string guys who have

169
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: done their best to try and shore up was an

170
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: all pro line.

171
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 5: When you look at last season.

172
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: We'll disco through the playoffs there with Jacksonville, he was

173
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: missing Mike Williams right after that back injury there in Denver.

174
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: Houston, He's missing any sort.

175
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: Of any sort of receivers and running game. Those are

176
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: his two playoff games right there. This time around, he's

177
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: gonna have to do with.

178
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 5: An without an offensive line. You guys have looked at

179
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 5: the tape.

180
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: What he's been able to do with no protection has

181
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: been superhero stuff. I mean, set aside all Jim Harbaugh

182
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: and his superlatives for him being the best to ever

183
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: play the game. What he's been able to do, if

184
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: you like football, has been what like, how is he

185
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: able to make that throw off his back foot, throwing

186
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: across his body, you know, throwing fades that land perfectly

187
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: before receivers even open and the balls out of his hands.

188
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's incredible what Justin Herbert has been able

189
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: to do. It's magic if you haven't played.

190
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 5: Along with it. I mean, bo Nix is so much

191
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: fun to watch there in Denver.

192
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: He really is putting on a show this season and

193
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: he is. But Justin Herbert, what he's able to do

194
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: without any protection so far, that is his legacy.

195
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 5: Right now, in this moment, and it is a masterclass.

196
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: Well said Sean, and stay with quarterbacks for a quick second.

197
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: With Herbert expected to be out, obviously the star is

198
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: going to go to Trey Lance. Expectations for him in

199
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: this game. I know the game may not mean anything

200
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: to the charges overall, but what would you like to

201
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: see from Trey Lance and for him to actually show

202
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: against his wals of Broncos defense.

203
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't sleep on Trey Lance. I mean, this was

204
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: a guy that San Francisco sold itself.

205
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 5: Out for out of the draft.

206
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: Trey Lance is also fun to watch. He's very mobile,

207
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: he's very athletic, and he's very smart.

208
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: He kind of.

209
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: Didn't get a fair shake in San Francisco with injuries

210
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: and throwing him in the mix there when he played

211
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: in preseason. A lot of fun to what looked like

212
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: a guy who could could start in the National Football League.

213
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: So don't sleep on him. It's not like a lot

214
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: of backups that we have been.

215
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: Blessed to watch in the past a week or so.

216
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 5: Trey Lance is the real deal.

217
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: So he, like I said, he's mobile, so when he

218
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: gets out of the pocket, he is dangerous, no.

219
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: Doubt about it. Shannon really appreciate the time, great insight.

220
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

221
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, Take care, Ryan and Nick.

222
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: All Right, sounds good, Shannon Farron Chargers sideline. She'll be

223
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: on her way out here to Denver. And it sounds

224
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: like the Chargers had no interest in playing the Broncos

225
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: back to back, which is again, as we talked about

226
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: early on in the show, that was a very real

227
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: possibility if the Chargers or to play the starters and

228
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: they win that game, which, again to our point, Chargers,

229
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: even with their backups, these were paid professionals. They could

230
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: find a way to win the game with the Broncos.

231
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: Don't show up and prepare to play this game directly.

232
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: But if the Chargers would have won this game, they

233
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: likely would have seen the Broncos fall to the three seed.

234
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: Chargers then cement themselves to the sixth seed, and then

235
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: it would have been a rematch here in another week.

236
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to play somewhat of the long game

237
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: with your strategy, because watching Justin Herbert play against the

238
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: Houston Texans, I mean he was literally running for his

239
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: life on every single play. Will Anderson and Danille Hunter

240
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: they were doing just that, hunting him up and knowing

241
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: as though they got to him five times and put

242
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: him on the ground. But when you look at quarterback kids,

243
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: I mean they still punish them after he delivered the ball.

244
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 3: So why would you go from that to put him

245
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: in a situation where you have John de Cooper, Nick Benito,

246
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: and Zach Allen, a group of guys who they're looking

247
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: to get back on track from a SAX standpoint, and

248
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: they're thinking Okay, well we're gonna serve you up because

249
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: we know you don't have the right pieces on the

250
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: offensive line. So all rolls point to great decision by

251
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: coach Harbaugh. Let the Broncos win the game, fight another day,

252
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: known as though you have a better matchup or this

253
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: you feel you have a better matchup with the Patriots.

254
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 4: And just think about it.

255
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: The Broncos fans could be rooting for the charge in

256
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: about a week or so, right.

257
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: For them to eliminate the Patriots. So how great.

258
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Would that be the Patriots? Do you have any sacks

259
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots have as a unit as a team, Broncos

260
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: are number one of sixty four.

261
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: I would say.

262
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: Forty thirty one. Okay, So to Shannon's point, it makes sense,

263
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: and she said some digging on it. Right. To Shannon's point,

264
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: this is the Chargers path and it makes a lot

265
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: of sense, it really does. You just said it justin

266
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: Herbert has been getting abused behind that offensive line. You

267
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: put them here in Denver and you're sort of rolling

268
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: the dice. Now. I don't know if Jim Harbaugh thinks

269
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: about it in terms of what happened to Mike Williams.

270
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: I know the fan base. Does the fan base absolutely.

271
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: I remember when that happened. It was here in Denver

272
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: and Mike Williams got hurt and he was done for

273
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: the season, and they went to Jacksonville and then they

274
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: got to that big lead. I mean, she didn't want

275
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: to relive it, but we came but they got into

276
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: that big lead and the Jacksonville came back and they

277
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: ended up winning that game, and just to Herbert Has,

278
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: he had to get a postseason victory. That's kind of

279
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: why I asked about the legacy portion of it, and

280
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: she's right, maybe that's down the road, but the point

281
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: of it is, I don't know if that really weighs

282
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: on Jim Harbaugh where he thinks about Mike Williams from

283
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: a few years ago. But I know that he looks

284
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: at this in terms of, well, this is the number

285
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: one sack team in the NFL right now. They're going

286
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: to be playing at home, highly highly motivated. I don't

287
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: really have any doubts in my mind that the Broncos

288
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: are going to be up for this game. Like, regardless

289
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: of who's out there on the field for the Chargers,

290
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: the Broncos are going to approach this as a playoff game. Now, now,

291
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: there could be a scenario because when you start finding

292
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: out all the players that are not gonna play for

293
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: the Chargers, maybe you let your guard down just a

294
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm not saying that that won't happen, but

295
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: my anticipation is Sean Payton, based on the fact that

296
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: didn't celebrate the AFC West at all, is going to

297
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: be like, hey, guys, we have to make a statement

298
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: in this game. We have to make this a no

299
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: doubter we.

300
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, so now style points matter.

301
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: That's not what I said.

302
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: You say, Lee, He's basically kind of paraphrase and leave

303
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: no doubt. We have to make sure that we know,

304
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: let other people know.

305
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: No, let's let's not make this a fourth quarter nervous

306
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: time kind of game.

307
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's still translates to like, you have to score

308
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: a lot of points, style the points.

309
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 4: On your opponent.

310
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: No, but your interpretation, want to say, and it's fine

311
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: if you want to interpret it that way. Your interpretation was,

312
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: we're doing this so other people think a certain way

313
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: about us. No, we're doing this so that we know

314
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: by the fourth quarter what we can we can just

315
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: know that it's done.

316
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: No more fourth quarter cardiac comebacks.

317
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: This isn't a game you want to do that. And

318
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: because the Chargers are still deep enough and there is

319
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: talent out there that they could make this an interesting game.

320
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: Like it's eleven a half point spread right now, if

321
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: I give you the option of either the Broncos cover

322
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: or don't. Which one are you taking Broncos cover?

323
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 5: Oh?

324
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: Real?

325
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna go the other way because most people

326
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: expect the Broncos not to cover. Ever, itill was never cover.

327
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 4: Well my expectations, well, at least on spreads like that. Well,

328
00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: well yeah, it's like that.

329
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: That's why when they played the Raiders on Thursday Night

330
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: Football the Races twenty seven, I went far exceeding what

331
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: I never do and I went forty five to ten

332
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: and then nothing, and then playing the Chiefs or is

333
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: it not? I said, well, you know what, let me

334
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: scale back just a while. I just I was too

335
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: far ahead of my skis thirty five to ten. Didn't

336
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: get that right. So I can see and I told

337
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: Grant this, I can see how fans may think that

338
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: way because they hadn't they haven't really seen it.

339
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: But you're absolutely right.

340
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: This is an opponent that you know going in, they're

341
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: not starting their starting quarterback and they're having issues on

342
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: the offensive line, and there's several other players who are

343
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: not going to start. We don't know who those guys are,

344
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: but you have to figure that's going to impact the

345
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: charges on either side the ball. So this should be

346
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: a game where you should pad just thats is it not?

347
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: You can, but once again, the win is the most

348
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: important thing. So it's like when we play this on

349
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: late Earli about Nick Benito's sack numbers, champays like, I

350
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: don't care about sack numbers. We won't wins. And if

351
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: the design of the defense that day is to just

352
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: keep the quarterback in the pocket, nobody gets upfield. If

353
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: we sack him, he runs into a sack. I mean,

354
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: that's going to happen, but we're not. We're not playing

355
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: on defense. And then I think some people on a

356
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: side note, feel as though that the defense isn't playing

357
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: very well as a result of that.

358
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: Let's see, we canna have that conversation, and I've had

359
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: it with different individuals. The reason people are feeling that

360
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: way obviously there was a drop off not having Brandon Jones.

361
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 4: Let's acknowledge that truth Also, the.

362
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: Defensive played like lights out all season long. They've been

363
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: one of the better teams in the league. Because it

364
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: was at one point it was believed that with the

365
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 3: game's remaining that the Broncos pass rush would break. I

366
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: think it was it seventy two Bears, you know, No.

367
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: Eighty five Bears with their seventy two sacks, But that.

368
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 4: Kind of has tapered off somewhat of eight sacks.

369
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought that they would get close to

370
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: it versus the Chiefs and then end well against the Chargers.

371
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: Where yet to see that they have an opportunity to

372
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 3: do that on Sunday. But I understand the why because

373
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 3: they have been playing at such a high level. When

374
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: you see any point scored in the opening drive or

375
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: points scored period.

376
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 4: There's all the Broncos defense. Man, they're terrible. They're falling off.

377
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: Its like, no, they've been playing at a high level

378
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 4: for so long.

379
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 3: Someone scores a touchdown, it's just like, I mean, the

380
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: sky has fallen.

381
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, get over yourself.

382
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: You want to hear this blows my mind. So the

383
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: Broncos have sixty four sacks a number one next closes

384
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: the Browns of fifty one. Okay, use last in the

385
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: NFL with eighteen sacks. It's a playoff team. Eighteen sacks.

386
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: It's a playoff team. Anc NFC.

387
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 4: Tampa.

388
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: Yep, they're not a playoff team yet.

389
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 4: Well okay, well, I guess I got to put them

390
00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 4: up there.

391
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Your favorite team, Oh, my favorite team, well, I mean

392
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco, San Francisco eight eighteen sacks and.

393
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 3: They're still and they have. I been singing to win

394
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: the number one seed.

395
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 4: Sacks.

396
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 3: I don't care what anyone says or whatever Ryan can say.

397
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 3: They my favorite team. College Sandahan should receive the Coach

398
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 3: of the Year.

399
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: The Jets have twenty six. Wow, the Jets at twenty six.

400
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: The Ravens, by the way, twenty eight. Now they've had

401
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: some pockets of being a really bad defense this year,

402
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: so that's tough. Panthers are at twenty eight, Cardinals are

403
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: twenty nine. The Raiders have twenty nine. The Raiders have

404
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: eleven more sacks than the San Francisco forty nine ers. Y.

405
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: That says that coaching matters and College Shanahan is doing

406
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 3: a hell of a job.

407
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: The Bengals have twenty nine sacksayay.

408
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: Bingles how about that.

409
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: Like you eventually just rubbed into sacks. Right, you play

410
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: people and they it just happens, just.

411
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: Kind of stumbled into oh I'm sorry, quarterbacks on the

412
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: ground stumbled into his sack.

413
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: That's remarkable. But again back to what Shannon Farren said,

414
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots at thirty one sacks, which is like tenth worst.

415
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 4: So you think you could beat you can beat that team.

416
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Well, the Patriots are very good team. They're they're they're

417
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: fundamentally sound as a defense, and they run the ball

418
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: very well. But to the point that she said, last year,

419
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert went into Foxborough and they torched the Patriots.

420
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: It's a better Patriots team. Now say, yea, yeah, I know,

421
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: but but you're thinking now, Remarkably, the Chargers have had

422
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: success against the Broncos too recently. The Broncos have not

423
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: beaten Jim Harbaugh as head coach. Now it's only three.

424
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: Games, Coach Payton, I don't think he's beaten Jim hob No,

425
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: we just got us Ben.

426
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: Ben's going to bring us that stat. Oh okay, he

427
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: loves he loves telling us about that stat. Did you

428
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: guys know? But anyways, that so I understand the logic

429
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: of where she's coming from, where the Chargers are coming

430
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: from in terms of matchups, because that's what it's all about.

431
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: And if you have a chance to dictate, you may

432
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: not always have a chance to dictate who you play,

433
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: but the Chargers are a unique situation because they can.

434
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: We've seen this kind of philosophy use an NBA. That's right, Yes,

435
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: we absolutely have often times in NBA, like who's playing

436
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 3: who's number seven? Oh, okay, okay, we're going to say

437
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: a couple of players low management, that's right, right, and

438
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: then we lose that game and now we got the

439
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: profect matchup.

440
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: This is the equivalent to it. Yes, and this is

441
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: what a lot of people have said about the AFC

442
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: in general. And the Broncos get lumped into this, and

443
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: I think part of it because of we're not used

444
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: to seeing the no Patrick Mahomes, no Joe Burrow, maybe

445
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: no Lamar Jackson. Josh Allen's the most seasoned quarterback in

446
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: the AFC mix this year. Maybe you could include Aaron Rodgers.

447
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: But it's different, you know, because it's the first year

448
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, or it's just a you it's a

449
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: different time for the AFC.

450
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: Right now.

451
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: This is a different season for the AFC. So the

452
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: Broncos get lumped in like the Patriots, like Jacksonville Houston

453
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, because these are teams that don't

454
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: have a lot of postseason experience. So if you're one

455
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: of these teams in the wild card round right where

456
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Bills, talking about the Chargers and

457
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, the Texans, who are playing very

458
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: well right now, you feel like anybody that has the

459
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: home field ahead of you, that's a team I'll take.

460
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: That's a matchup I'm willing to go for.

461
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, just being transparent, this is arguably the

462
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: best year for any team or a quarterback viewed as

463
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 3: being an underdog to now put themselves in the conversation

464
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: with other guys who have made the super Bowl because,

465
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 3: like you said, I mean, there's no Patrick Mahomes standing

466
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: in your way, and that was kind of the biggest

467
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 3: hurd on issue for a lot of quarterbacks.

468
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 4: You guys don't like my is not that what you

469
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: call it? YEA free money?

470
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: Integrity that's what we call it.

471
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: That's what Yeah, okay, integrity, I'll buy some.

472
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: I don't think this is something you could purchase. I

473
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: don't think so. No, I'm pretty sure you can't.

474
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's an integrity store around or somewhere, you know.

475
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: I tell you what, Maybe Walmart has it because they

476
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: have everything, best selection, best prices. Can't say enough nice

477
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: things about Walmart. You gotta go check them out if you.

478
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 4: Haven't already have some integrity.

479
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, can't say enough nice things. Five Zeros are Commas

480
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: free text line. We got Broncos Country tonight coming up

481
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 1: at the top of the our Grand Smith Eric Delala.

482
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: They'll be hanging out with you into the evening. So

483
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: we're watching Matthew Stafford warm up here final Monday night

484
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: football game of the regular season. It's amazing, it's already

485
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: like done here have the idle week. We got Week

486
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: eighteen games next week and then the postseason. But final

487
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: Monday night game Rams and Falcon. Do you you think

488
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is already the MVP. I think a big

489
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: performance from Matthew Stafford tonight with cement it. But Drake

490
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: May's five touchdown performance I'll be it against the Jets. Whatever.

491
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: Five touchdown performance against the Jets helped his cause. So

492
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: I think Matthew Stafford has to have a good game

493
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: tonight to really get there.

494
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: Stafford has forty touchdowns.

495
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: Listen, I know I hear you, but but.

496
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: You're well, you're not hearing me. Okay, you're not hearing me.

497
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: I just said, Stafford right now leads the league in

498
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 3: touchdowns to interception ratio. Right, Yes, so how can you

499
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 3: somehow put Drake May who Drake only has thirty and tonight,

500
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 3: I mean playing against the Falcons. I mean that could

501
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 3: even be more for Matthew Stone.

502
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I think he needs it. I

503
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: think he needs He doesn't need it, he needs a

504
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: big performance tonight. He doesn't need like a five touchdown performance.

505
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: But I would say a good game for him tonight.

506
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: What what would you consider a good game for Matthew Stafford?

507
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: Well, and I'm part of this really quickly. Part of

508
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: this is also some East Coast bias, right understanding that

509
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: Drake May plays out there in New England? Am I wrong?

510
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 4: Here we go again?

511
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?

512
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 4: Every time? East Coast bias?

513
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: You might be in the Hall of Fame if you

514
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: were a jet. No, oh wait, you were a jet.

515
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: Yes, that means you would have to win more games

516
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 3: because you know, okay, anyway, yes, no, no, don't don't

517
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: make the people in New York hate me, man.

518
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: But I say that there's a lot of people out

519
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: there that are enamored with Drake May and how he

520
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: is playing. So I believe that Matthew Stafford, though by

521
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: the numbers, has had a spectacular season. He plays in LA.

522
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: It's not the same. It's not the same.

523
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, one guy is younger than the other guy,

524
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 3: and we're talking about the ability to do it at

525
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 3: a high level for a longer period of time. And

526
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: if we're comparing those two, the guy who has definitely

527
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 3: done that and continues to excel as Matthew Stafford. Oh,

528
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: by the way, he started the season with a bat.

529
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 4: Issue as he did.

530
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: How doesn't that feel like forever ago? That whole debate

531
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: about will he even finish the season forty touchdowns? And

532
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: also they didn't lose. I mean, he didn't play the

533
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: best in the fourth quarter of that great game with

534
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks.

535
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: Well, it's not his fault. His defense couldn't get stops.

536
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: But his defense fault specialty is give touchdowns. No I know,

537
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: but they sort of fizzled as far as the Seattle

538
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: defense showed up and started playing better. So his defense

539
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: let him down, and then his defense led exactly.

540
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: But he is still If I had a boat, he

541
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 3: would be my MVP. No, no, no bias included.

542
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 4: Okay, m VP.

543
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: I think I'd probably give it to him to absolutely,

544
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: it's very.

545
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 4: How about this?

546
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: How about this? You and I both have Heisman votes.

547
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: If this was the Heisman, who would get it?

548
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: I can't tell you that drink. You know the rules.

549
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: I know the rules, the first rule of fight club.

550
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 4: Don't talk about fight club.

551
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: We don't talk about it.

552
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 4: Yes, I was testing you.

553
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: I was testing you were going to send the audio

554
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: to the Heisman people.

555
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 4: I wouldn't do that. Ryan Right, Why til to that?

556
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: You don't you know what?

557
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 4: Wait a minue, Ryan that to you?

558
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: Listen to hour three of the podcast, around five thirty seven.

559
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 4: An anonymous donor Right donated some audio.

560
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: That's what happened. And then I get I get a

561
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: little message in my email inbox, thank you for your

562
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: yours of service as of December, but loose lit let's

563
00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: sink ships.

564
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 4: I don't even know what's talking about. Yeah, I bet

565
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: you don't.

566
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Hey the Nuggets are getting underway against the heat, and

567
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: they lost what a heartbreaker they lost to Orlando a

568
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: couple of nights ago. Starting off this what is a

569
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: nine game road swing here for the Nuggets. Now they're

570
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: about to get healthier. Aaron Gordon's gonna be back a hamstring,

571
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: Christian Brown's going to be back, probably on some limit restrictions.

572
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 4: Minute Yeah, a little bit, well, a little management.

573
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: But getting a little healthier. Twenty nine. How do we

574
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: feel about the Nuggets right now? They are there one

575
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite time.

576
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: Listen, I like the Nuggets against uh, the heat. The

577
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: heat doesn't really have what a.

578
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: That's your heat, by the way, that's where.

579
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 4: It'd be fine and that's you.

580
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: And I'm being honest right, I like what the Nuggets

581
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: have been able to do because that's hard when you

582
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: have multiple guys who are role players and major contributors

583
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 3: who are out with injuries.

584
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 4: But it also tests your roster because a lot.

585
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 3: Of the guys who are nearly win and get a

586
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: lot of playing time, they get a chance to work

587
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: and David Alliman, he gets a chance to play with

588
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: his his personnel grouping and say, okay, well, stars are

589
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 3: backups because they're gonna need every single guy when it

590
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: comes to the plass because once again you still have OKC.

591
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: And I mean you think about san Antonio Spurs Wimby

592
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 3: so good, that's gonna be a problem too.

593
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 4: I like the Nuggets, man, I like that. I like

594
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 4: their chances.

595
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: The West is just I mean, not anybody needs me

596
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: to tell them that, but loaded. I mean, san Antonio's second.

597
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: Right now, they're ahead of the Nuggets in the West.

598
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: Now again, they did some of this work without Winby.

599
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: Winby was gone for several weeks there. Now he's back

600
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: and he's playing phenomenal. They're only one game up, so

601
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: it's all gonna be pretty close. But you know, there's

602
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: some teams on the outside looking in that I think

603
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: we'll we'll eventually make a little bit of a run.

604
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm a most surprised about Dallas because Cooper Flag looks phenomenal,

605
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: but now with a d he's he's banged up a

606
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: little bit.

607
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: It's always freaking hurt.

608
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: I know.

609
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: But like Golden State, they're sixteen and sixteen, You think

610
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: that they'd be a little bit better.

611
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 4: No, they that team is aging out.

612
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: Feels like it maybe that's what it is.

613
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: Maybe that's what you're aging out.

614
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: And the Minnesota is still good, but they lost us.

615
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 3: That's always a hell of a matchup when those two

616
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: teams get together.

617
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 4: It is Minnesota.

618
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: Nuggets, Yes, because the ross is almost like mirror images

619
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: of one another.

620
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 4: Man, Well, he scored like forty four.

621
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: The last time Jamal had thirty five, and the cold

622
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: the Yogas had like fifty six.

623
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had a triple doubles, fifty six, twenty and

624
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: fifty gay yeah, or sixteen fifteen, I don't know.

625
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: It was. That's crazy.

626
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: It was remarkable. The first time in NBA history it's

627
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: ever happened, a fifty point fifteen to fifteen triple double.

628
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 4: I due Man.

629
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: By the time he finally hangs it up, he's gonna

630
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: have so many accolades and he's going to have rewritten

631
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: history on Big Man.

632
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 4: Right, twenty years from now.

633
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 3: You and I will get the chance to say what

634
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: you were trying to share with your daughter.

635
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 4: I remember when when this happened.

636
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: Well, and I said this the other day that we're

637
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna we'll look back fondly at the Nicola Yokake era.

638
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: But I will never be like this right, no matter what, whatever,

639
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: the next iteration of the Nuggets is, you'll never get

640
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: enjoy it while they're last. That's right. And it reminds

641
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: me a lot of the Peyton Manninger right in a

642
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: lot of ways, because when it was here, it was

643
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: as a rocket ship. I mean it was. It was amazing.

644
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: Every year you're a contender because he's here, So it.

645
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 4: Was the golden era. Would you say of Broncos football.

646
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, you guys. He has to watch the

647
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: Lway documentary yet.

648
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 4: I haven't watched it yet.

649
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: It's good.

650
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 4: I was too hung up on strength.

651
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: No, I understand priorities. I get it.

652
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it was.

653
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: It's very very good.

654
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: Now I will say this.

655
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 3: I did see the trailer of it and Rod Smith

656
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 3: and I last week we talked about it when when

657
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: we were both leaving the station and I told him,

658
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: I said, well, people need to watch it just from

659
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 3: the clip that I saw, to get a full understanding

660
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: of what it is like to be a professional athlete.

661
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 3: Everyone wants it because they see the glitz and glamour,

662
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: but they don't see the sacrifice that comes along with it,

663
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: because you give up time with your family and that

664
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: can impact you and your kids and your wife in

665
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 3: a certain way, and just hearing some of the guys

666
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: who play with John Elwig talk about that and you

667
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: can see it from the low person I saw the documentary,

668
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: it is crushing.

669
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: What I like the most about it, and I know

670
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: we have a break here, but I like the most

671
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: about it is is you did get a picture into

672
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: his world more than just the star quarterback super Bowl winner.

673
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: Like you got into stuff with his family, like his

674
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: twin died, right, and like his relationship with his father,

675
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: which we knew about right because of how famous you know,

676
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: Jack Elway is, but to really get his side and

677
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: sense of all of it right, and then his relationship

678
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: with his wife at the time and his kids and

679
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: how they viewed it. There was a moment, a moment

680
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: too when he won the first championship against Green Bay

681
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: and one of his daughters said it was relief.

682
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 4: And I can.

683
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: Imagine for that family living with that weight. And I

684
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: know the Broncos fans felt to two of all of

685
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: those Super Bowls that they just got abused in and

686
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: then to finally get over the hump and not have

687
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: that be the legacy because you know, like that is

688
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: the legacy until it's not. And the legacy was well,

689
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: great regular seasons runs to the super Bowl, but then

690
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: when you got there, couldn't get it done.

691
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: And just think about it really quickly, the amount of

692
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,239
Speaker 3: pressure associated with that and him being the quarterback of

693
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos and constantly hearing that ye.

694
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: Well, John elwa. But so it's a tough light.

695
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: Really remarkable. So tomorrow the program, we'll of course check

696
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: it with Garret Bowles right at the top of the show.

697
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's gonna be in a pretty good mood

698
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: coming off of another win for the Broncos heading into

699
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: the final regular season game against the Chargers. Of course,

700
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: that looks a little bit different now. It looks like

701
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers are gonna be resting quite a few players,

702
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: including their starting quarterback Justin Herbert. We're gonna have Shelby

703
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: Harrison at four thirty and then five o'clock Rod Smith

704
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: in studio. You're gonna miss Rod Smith in the studio here.

705
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna be so sad.

706
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: Nick. I'll see him and I'll talk about him when

707
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: he leaves.

708
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I'll get in here so I can

709
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: talk to him to his face.

710
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: You guys just have such classic back and forth.

711
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 4: He play a receiver.

712
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: Why do you say it like that?

713
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 4: Because I said it that way, and I would tell

714
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 4: him if you say he played receiver.

715
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: Well no, no, no, mean you said he played receiver like

716
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: your your nose, everything's scrunched up in your face, like

717
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: you put into a limon.

718
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 4: Well, I mean.

719
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes Rob was one of these guys, but sometimes off.

720
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 4: Some guys think too highly of themselves.

721
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, you would never say that about Dave though, right.

722
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: I would have to get to know to Dave in

723
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 3: that particular way. Okay, if I did, and I saw

724
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 3: that in and I would tell them too.

725
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

726
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: Yes, good luck with that. On the text line here,

727
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,440

Speaker 1: the Heart rad app. Really is amazing.

730
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 4: I'm assuming that's long range.

731
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I, okay, away as a signal

732
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: goes pretty far I Sydney, Australia might.

733
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 4: Be that's pushing it far.

734
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: But the iHeart Radio app, I'm assuming it's working.

735
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 4: Thank you, Gary, appreciate, Thank you, Gary, appreciate you listening, buddy, Nick.

Speaker 1: I'm all Rightnio State Miami.

741
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 4: I'm not watching that.

742
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 3: I'm watching Stranger Things, And if you don't watch it,

743
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: I can't.

744
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: Hey, you're gonna forego the college football playoff as a

745
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: Heisman voter?

746
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 4: Yes, because the Heisman is over.

Speaker 1: of course, is a great slate of football. I'll be

752
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: watching those as well. But I'm I'm a little surprised,

753
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: but I guess it tracks for you that you're gonna

754
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: watch Stranger Things over that. Of course?

755
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 4: Why not?

756
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 3: Can I can always follow the game on my trusty phone, Ryan.

757
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: So you can also watch Stranger Things later?

758
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 3: No, No, look, man, I'm a good father to my kids.

759
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 3: My kids want to watch it. We're gonna watch it

760
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 3: when it comes out.

761
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: All right, you may clean the house before.

762
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 4: Oh they do that all the time. Yes, that's a must.

763
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: That's how they get fed.

764
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 6: The important question is will you be spoiling the Stranger

765
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 6: Things finale immediately afterward?

766
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,440

Speaker 1: great question, Grant, Oh great great.

768
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 4: What do you mean this past weekend?

769
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 6: What did I say all over your Instagram? It was

770
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 6: just different little memes about things that happened in Stranger Things.

771
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 6: Maybe not everyone has seen episodes five through seven.

772
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, whoa, whoa.

773
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 3: The only thing I put out there was leading up

774
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: maybe the actors during their readings certain blooper scenes.

775
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 4: I did nothing to give away anything in the movie.

776
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 4: I didn't do anything, well, not a single thing.

777
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: Your Instagram followers would disagree. This was a lot of fun, Nick,

778
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: great jobs.
