1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: There. Yeah, obviously it's not what's up a big era

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: for him, but as Dave said, probably didn't end the

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: way he was hoping.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, here though, a big number eighteen statue right out

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: in front of Lucas Oil. Thought, So I wan to

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: be out there in a couple of weeks for the

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: NFL Combine, walking by Lucas Oil, getting ready for the

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: Broncos offseason. I love going to the combine, not only

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: just about the draft, but also free agency. It's kind

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: of where a lot of the deals start being discussed.

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: Will be out there again into February. We're gonna have,

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: hopefully here in a matter of moment.

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: CJ.

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 2: Anderson super Bowl fifty champion, Well, maybe ask him if

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning, what do you win direction? He would ultimately

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: go if the Broncos were in the Super Bowl five six,

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: six nights zero A Kwa Commas spry all text time.

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: Some people want here say that we're overestimating what the

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: Patriots are gonna be able to do in this game.

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: I hope so yeah, I mean I want to be entertaining.

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: I think to Rick's point, I'd like to see Seattle

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: win because we're feel great about the pay ties right now,

23
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 2: but otherwise, you know, I think that's that's altimately where

24
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: it goes right away. How the high line as we

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: head out of San Francisco and check in with Super

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: Bowl fifty champion former Denver Bronco CJ Anderson, CJ, you'rron

27
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: with Dave Logan, Ryan Edwards and Rick Lewis.

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: How are you?

29
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: Man?

30
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: What's up? Fellas? I'm doing good, Man, doing real good.

31
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: What's up?

32
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: CJ?

33
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: We're sitting here talking about this game coming up? You

34
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 4: you obviously played in this you played back in Super

35
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: Bowl fifty. When you think about after getting out the

36
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: Santa Clara the week leading up to the game, what

37
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 4: were the a couple of most important things retrospectively looking

38
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: back that that you did getting ready for that game

39
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 4: against the Panthers.

40
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I think the preparation and trying to keep your

41
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: routines the chief Obviously I got to plan three Super Bowls.

42
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: So something that I learned after the Super Bowl fifty, right,

43
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: AFC NFT gets to switch off every year who's the

44
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: home team and whoever. The home team not only get

45
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: to pick their color jersey, but they get to pick

46
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: their routine that they want to be on. So what

47
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: I will say, super Bowl forty eight we practice in

48
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: the morning. Oh no, super forty eight we practiced an

49
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: afternoon and did our media during the morning. Super Bowl

50
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: fifty we practiced in the morning and did all our

51
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: media in afternoon. And my day was done around four

52
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: different than our day being done around six, seven, eight

53
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: o'clock at night right up until Thursday, really until tonight.

54
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 3: So I think that's a huge advantage for whatever team

55
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: they got the tuition. They're keeping their morning routine and

56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: the finish the day. They're finishing their day around three

57
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: or four like a regular day they would be at

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: the facility, then finishing their day at six or seven o'clock.

59
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: So I think that's huge. I mean, obviously there's a

60
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: lot of there's not a lot of fans who know that,

61
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: so just to give them that perspective, but I think

62
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: that's huge, and I think that's a big reason right

63
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: why we won Super Bowl fifty and a big reason,

64
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: to be honest, why I lost forty eight and lost

65
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: fifty three with the Rams.

66
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: CJ. I think you're one of the best stories for

67
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos in the last twenty years. Undrafted out

68
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: of cal In the impact that you had on this

69
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: football team. When we look back on it, we've been

70
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: talking about the Patriots pretty much the entire show so far.

71
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Seems like you made a pretty big play against the

72
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Is that your biggest moment? Would you

73
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: say as a Denver Bronco outside of the Super Bowl?

74
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 3: It's it's definitely up there. I Mean, one thing I

75
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: can say, I always try to show up in big moments,

76
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: right obviously, not only that the fourth and one with

77
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: the with the coach and we end up losing that game, right,

78
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: the big run down the sideline against Cincinnati as we're

79
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: fighting for a number one seed in twenty fifteen, in

80
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: that moment, obviously, the snow game run. I always try

81
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: to show up in big moments. That's definitely one of

82
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: the biggest ones. Though for sure, it's art the loudest

83
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: I've ever heard, right, how high stadium at that time,

84
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: probably louds I ever heard the stadium ever. Just huge though, right,

85
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: just huge, big play. Undefeated team needed to beat them,

86
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: playing with our backup quarterback and you know, kind of

87
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: emerging and finding a way to win football games.

88
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: So the Broncos he's in. Obviously came up just a

89
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: little bit short. But you guys, when Peyton was here,

90
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: of course, you guys had a level of consistency expectation

91
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: to be in the postseason mix every single year. This

92
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: Broncos team has done it now back to back years.

93
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: What does it take to kind of continually put yourself

94
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: in that position from a player's perspective, Well.

95
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: I think one, you got to have the right vets

96
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: and the right leadership in the locker room. I think

97
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: that's something that they're growing, and you can see that.

98
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 3: The second, things are super tight, Like even when I

99
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: came back for the reunion, right, they were super tight

100
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: in together. You could tell they hang out with each

101
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: other outside of the facility. I think that's another thing

102
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: and another chief piece that helps them and brings them together.

103
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: And then I think the last part of it is right,

104
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: this is sass right Like obviously we moved to different

105
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 3: stabs right from Foxy moving on to Coop, but I

106
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: think having the same staff and being in the same

107
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: system v Jas staying right. He didn't get out a

108
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 3: coach opportunity, which is good. So the defensive staff is standing. Obviously,

109
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: Sean made some move on the offensive staff and was

110
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: majority of the staff is still staying and the system

111
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: is still in place. So I think that's huge, right,

112
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: And I think that opens up right on both sides

113
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: of the ball. Right in blood special teams, but I

114
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: think that opens up on both sides of the ball.

115
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: More you can do because now you've been together for

116
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: so long and you understand the system.

117
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: Former Bronco CJ Anderson is our guest.

118
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: CJ.

119
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 4: Last question, had a chance to chop it up with

120
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: you a little bit when you were back in town.

121
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: But for Broncos fans listening to the show that might

122
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 4: not know what you're doing, you had been You've been

123
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 4: a head coach in high school, You've been a position

124
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: coach in college football. Talk a little bit about what

125
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: you got going on currently.

126
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: Currently the head coach Benisa High School. We had a

127
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: really good year last year, first year taking over the program,

128
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: even though I was her fourth head coach in four years.

129
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: My goal is still to be a college head coach.

130
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: There's there's so much that I can give to those

131
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: young men, different than the high school coach, different than

132
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: the high school kids. But that's kind of my goal.

133
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it's all about serving others. I grew up

134
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: Inner City, right, We talked about my story earlier, just

135
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: a little. I grew up Inner City. I had a

136
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: lot of coaches, a lot of football coaches, from my

137
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: high school coaches to my junior college coaches, to my

138
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: college coaches, right coach to Deville coach Kubiak, who I

139
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: still talk to today, Way Phillips, who's impacted my life in David,

140
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: as you know, right, and so graduations to your success

141
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: of seeing that earlier this year. But as you know

142
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: right that the impact that you have with these kids

143
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: is shoes because some of these kids, this is all

144
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 3: they have, right, Some of them need football more than

145
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: football needs them. And I think giving those kids those opportunities, right,

146
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: helping them out and growing that game, I think it's

147
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 3: I think it's awesome.

148
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: That's all.

149
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: I'm in that space, and I'm glad I'm able to

150
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 3: give back like people gave back to me. That's you

151
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 3: know what.

152
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,360
