1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: Was with US five six, six nine zero or ka

Speaker 1: gona play on to Italy. Well that's right, thank you.

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: So should say thank you to Italy and maybe simultaneous

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: congratulations to USA for being bailed out. Maybe that's the

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: way to frame it. Because Mexico did not get five runs.

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: No, but when I looked at one point it was

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: seven to one, I said, well either way.

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good, We're got either way.

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and that's more or less when I tuned out,

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Tony's gonna be a lot of fun though.

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 4: We got the other Nuggets, the AVST.

15
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: My Rams playing in San Diego State, so I'll just

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: carrying that game. That's a good question. I was something

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: I was gonna probably think deep ties, Sue, what had

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: that up? Yeah, it's up, I'm sure it's Uh it's

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: on CBS Sports Network, CBS Sports Network, Okay, seven o'clock.

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: So San Diego State is a per hit. It favorite

21
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: my six and a half in that game, but the

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: Rams beaten them. Last time they played. Yeah, so I'm

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm feeling pretty good about that.

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: Today.

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: The big news for the Broncos, they want big news.

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: They signed Little jur and Humphrey. I wouldn't you know.

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: People are reading into that as though they're they're not

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: still maybe attempting to improve the roster that they're they're

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: very content with status quo. I think a lot of

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: these one year contracts day. We talked about it a

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: bit in the first hour. Filling out a ninety man roster,

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: you're you're just you're adding depth, guys that you trust.

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: I made the comp of well last two years.

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: They brought in what was it, Trent Sherfield last year

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: and then it was the Josh Reynolds.

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: The year before.

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 4: They gave those guys two year contracts.

38
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: We're all like, hey, Trent Sherfield, you know, maybe an

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: underrated wide receiver, good special teams player. Josh Reynolds, Oh

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: we remember him. He played out with Detroit, had a

41
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: couple of nice moments, maybe a couple of drops, but

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, good player, good receiver.

43
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: And now I get to the.

44
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Other side of this thing and you're like, well, actually,

45
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: maybe little Jern Humphrey offers more.

46
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: Than either of those guys, at least for sure. Yeah,

47
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: maybe maybe.

48
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: I think I think he he does as we talked

49
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: about in the first hour. I think he does provide

50
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: them a smart player. He's a player that can play

51
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: more than one position. He's a player that will block,

52
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: and I think he's if you if you look at

53
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: what Sean Payton likes about wide receivers. Historically, he's always

54
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: liked bigger guys and he's always had an affinity for

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: Lil Jordan Humphrey for whatever the reason. I mean, he's

56
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: talked about him when you know what he would when

57
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: little Jeordge Humphrey was in high school, he was aware

58
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: of him. After of course he coached him at the Saints.

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: So I mean, coaches want to bring guys in that

60
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: will work, that will not get involved in drama. Now now,

61
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: sometimes I think you have to sort of fight the

62
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: urge to have a locker room full of those guys

63
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: if some of those guys are not uber talented, and

64
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: I think that. I mean, the Broncos talent base is

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: pretty significant right now, it really is.

66
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 3: Would we like to see or I'm anxious to see

67
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: what they do in the draft me too.

68
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: Now, since they've really not done much in terms of

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: bringing free agents in, I want to see with some

70
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: of these draft choices, do they package them together and

71
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: try to move up. I don't know, that's not been

72
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: their history, not really. So we'll see how far are

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: we await from the draft.

74
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Forty some yees in April a couple of the days,

75
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, we're about a month and a half away.

76
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Alex Singleton was on with our friends that were on DMVR.

77
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah today saw that. Yeah, it's some interesting things to say.

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: This one. I thought you get a kick out. I

79
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw him talking he was asked about.

80
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's talking about how nobody cares about winning

81
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: as much as me. That kind of thing, you know,

82
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: something a player would say. But there was a moment

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: in here where he's saying if the Broncos really thought

84
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't play, and she said a different word, do

85
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: you think they bring me back?

86
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 4: I thought this was great, So I'll play this for

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: you real quick.

88
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 5: Let me just say I don't think, as much as

89
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 5: fans want to believe that they would bring me back

90
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 5: for more money if I was you know. So that's

91
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 5: where we'll take it not often and if people want

92
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 5: to say, yes.

93
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: The sake one play, yeah, I had them one on

94
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: one and he's quote a touchdown.

95
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 6: That's u.

96
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: It was also my fault though, you know, they checked

97
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: something and as the mic of the defense, I was

98
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 5: able to check out of something else and I didn't

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 5: last second, and that's my fault.

100
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: I'll take credit where I'm supposed to.

101
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: I always have postgame, I always will, so that's you know,

102
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 5: a lot of my job is to do that, make

103
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: sure guys are in the right place. I think when

104
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: people when anyone catches the ball and pissed off, no

105
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 5: matter what it is, and that's you know. One of

106
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 5: my jobs is to be able to get everyone lined

107
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: up in the right places and to win football game.

108
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 5: If anybody thinks that take care of more about winning

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 5: than I did than There's a lot of.

110
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Good stuff there.

111
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's an easy guy to like, you can pull for. Obviously,

112
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 7: he started the year slow coming off that ACL, but

113
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 7: I thought he played really well.

114
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: I did to the last half of the season.

115
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: I think, and I think he even said it publicly.

116
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: I think he had his best year any linebacker. Listen,

117
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: if a team can isolate that linebacker on a coverage

118
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: a man a man coverage on a back, that's not

119
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: a good thing for the linebacker. I don't care who

120
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: the linebacker is, right, so he's accountable.

121
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: He makes a lot of plays.

122
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: I mean, but I haven't heard have you heard like

123
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: a real sort of lashing out by Broncos fans that

124
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: they did not want Alex Singleton to be brough?

125
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: Have you really so significant it? Maybe not as much

126
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: as out of but he's next, Like if.

127
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: You're right, So what is what's the sort of overriding

128
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: view from those Bronco fans you're referring to.

129
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: That he's a liability and coverage. I'm just telling you what, No, no,

130
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: I understand it.

131
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: So again, every single linebacker in the league, if they

132
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 2: get isolated on a back, that's going to be a problem. Now,

133
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: in fairness to the people that feel like he's a

134
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: liability or I didn't think the Broncos linebacker has had

135
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: a great year in terms of some of the coverage

136
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: early in the season. I mean, I think about the

137
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: Chargers game last year, there were some guys running open.

138
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 2: It's really tough watching a game to know exactly whose

139
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: responsibility was what when you see a play unfold, and

140
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: a lot of times a guy that is closest to

141
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: the pass catcher will get blamed for not being close enough.

142
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: He might not have even been the guy supposedly in coverage,

143
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So you can always find

144
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: I think with every single player you can you can

145
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: find things that add on like this about him, this

146
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: about him, this about him. And that's That's one of

147
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: the things that I think is attractive about the NFL

148
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: two fans. They become so passionate and they are so

149
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: invested in their team. They think they know everything about

150
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: every single play and the technique involved and what the

151
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: play call is and and you know what, the Broncos

152
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: fans have been a group of passionate fans for as

153
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: long as I can remember well.

154
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: And the passion is great, I mean versus apathy.

155
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: Right, we saw some apathy during that ten year stretch

156
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: when they weren't in the playoffs and when when the

157
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: team was really bad. So I much really have the passion.

158
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot of frustration and anger. It's really centered

159
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: and we talked about this a bit at the beginning.

160
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Rick is is really centered around sort of an expectation,

161
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: a raised expectation of being aggressive. Because you were right

162
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: on the doorstep of the Super Bowl, everybody thought, Okay, well,

163
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: this is your opportunity, go swing big. And the reality is,

164
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: and we talked about this before the show, if it

165
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: was maybe Mickey Loomis, and I'm not saying that George

166
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: Peyton is the governor on this thing, but if it

167
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: was Mickey Loomis, I do wonder if there would be

168
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: a bigger swing and they would be spending into the future.

169
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: We looked at Alvin Kamara's contract, for example, he's got

170
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: four void years still he's thinking about retirement and he's

171
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: got four void years beyond this year, nineteen million in

172
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: dead cap.

173
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: You think he actually cares one ask cheek about that.

174
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: No, not at all.

175
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like with Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis,

176
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: remember they ran up the credit card and then sewn

177
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: pieced out and they've been in cap hell until this year.

178
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: No, you're right, You're right. I think that that's for.

179
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: You know, there are discussions that will happen between a

180
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: head coach and GM and or the ownership group about

181
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: this three year period. I really feel like we're close,

182
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: We've got a chance to win this thing or be

183
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: right in the mix all three years, but it's going

184
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: to require us to be really aggressive salary cap.

185
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: Wise and spending wise.

186
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: Now, eventually we're gonna have to figure out how to

187
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: balance the books, so to speak.

188
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: But in this three year period, we had to.

189
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: Decide or we we all in or we were trying

190
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: to stick our toe in the water.

191
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: I think those.

192
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: Type conversations happen a lot in the NFL.

193
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: So what's the window for the Broncos? How many years? Three? Four? Well?

194
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think right now this is this is

195
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: what It's a little bit hard to understand from my standpoint,

196
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: because you've you've got You've got bow Nicks on a

197
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: rookie contract this year. Now, you you could approach him

198
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: after this year and try to get him locked up

199
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: depending on what kind of year bow has, You know,

200
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: would bow at that point because it technically might be

201
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: a year early and he'd be making you know, significant money,

202
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: But it would it would also probably not put him

203
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: at the top of the list money wise. For quarterbacks.

204
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: Would Bownix be inclined to say, okay, let's tear up

205
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: the rookie deal or add to it. But there's going

206
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: to this next year, my fourth year, you know, I'm

207
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: going to be in the forty five million dollar range.

208
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: So I think that's why I thought that they might

209
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: go about the offseason a little bit differently this year,

210
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: because you've got him still in his rookie contract, and

211
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: maybe he'll play his fourth year in his rookie contract

212
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: as well. Maybe they won't won't be able to, you know,

213
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: reach some sort of agreement, but I think the window

214
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: is as long as you have him at a number

215
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: that you can sustain success with some of your other

216
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: other players. But when you have to start, I mean

217
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: look at the teams this year, that and even last year.

218
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: Once you sign that big deal and most of the

219
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: big big deals or quarterback deals, you got to start

220
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 2: letting some guys go.

221
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 7: And I think that's one reason why fans had this

222
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 7: expectation Broncos were going to take a big swig, and

223
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 7: I thought they would too, And I've been a bit

224
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 7: surprised that they happened. I get it, I get it.

225
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 7: They're running it back. They had a really good football

226
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 7: team one game away from the Super Bowl. A bow

227
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 7: Knicks ankle injury. Really away from the Super Bowl, I

228
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 7: think they would have beat the Patriots with Bow. I

229
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 7: think they had the better football team. So, yeah, you're

230
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 7: going to run it back to a point. And as

231
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 7: we talked about it earlier, I don't think they're done.

232
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 7: They're going to pick up a couple of key players

233
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 7: here in free agency, and who knows what they do

234
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 7: in the draft. They have a lot of draft capital.

235
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 7: They may have their eye on somebody. Maybe it's a

236
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 7: running back, maybe it's a wide receiver, inside linebacker, tight end, safety,

237
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 7: even you know, some of the mock drafts have them

238
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 7: taking that safety out of Toledo and they already you

239
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 7: have two good safeties, but you lose PJ.

240
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: Lock.

241
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 7: Now you got depth issue without PJ there. They do

242
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 7: like Devin Key a lot, great special team come back

243
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 7: and I'm not sure how he fits into the defensive

244
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 7: scheme as a backup safety, but they I know they

245
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 7: love him.

246
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: Well.

247
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: They're returning ninety five percent of their entire offense and

248
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: ninety two defense right now.

249
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I mean, that's incredible.

250
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 7: The only team in the NFL that hasn't signed a

251
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 7: free agent outside of their their squad.

252
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: That's right, well, and remarkably, most of the time, when

253
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: teams have this kind of success, they get poached, right.

254
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: That's that's a little bit of a weird part of this.

255
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: I don't think we've talked about yet, Dave. Most of

256
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: the time, when you had the kind of success that

257
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos have had over the last several years and

258
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: all the way into the AFC Championship Game, your team

259
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: gets poached. Now, JFM obviously did so did PJ Lock,

260
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: But we're not seeing a lot of these guys.

261
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: Now.

262
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: What's your take on that?

263
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Is that because the Broncos have sort of jumped into

264
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: this thing and surrounded their guys and brought him all

265
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: back before they had a chance to really test or

266
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: is this just maybe the rest of the league isn't

267
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: as high on these guys.

268
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 3: The Broncos are higher on them than than other people, I.

269
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: Will say, more of the of the former. Yeah, I

270
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: think George has done a nice job of identifying who

271
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: he wants to keep. And I think if you're a

272
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: player and you played in the AFC Championship Game last

273
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: year here in Denver, and you're a guy that the

274
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: organization seemingly likes, and you live in Denver.

275
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 3: You want to stay here.

276
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: It's not like any of those guys are going to

277
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: be able to go out and break the bank. I mean,

278
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: that's where the John Franklin Myers thing was different, because

279
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: he was going to go out and get a butt

280
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: load of money, even though I think he.

281
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: Was a terrific player.

282
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: A couple of texts here nine oh nine two seven

283
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: to two nobody wanted singleton back. He has the highest

284
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: passer rating the LOUD when denoted the nearest defender among

285
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: linebackers last year, many of his tackles were yards after

286
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: a run and back across the line of scrimmage. In fact,

287
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: the ration ration of the maybe ratio ratio of total tackles,

288
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: but it's got an ind in it. The tackles for

289
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: loss was amongst the worst of linebackers with his volume

290
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: of tackles. What was frustrating was the constant spin that

291
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: he was an excellent player, especially by his friends at DMBR.

292
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: I think he is a good player, and.

293
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: I would just caution again and I ran and I

294
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: have some fun with each other here during the season.

295
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: There are all sorts of analytics that you can subscribe

296
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: to and they will break everything down, and our texture

297
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:51,479
Speaker 2: talked about him in terms of closest defender to the receiver. Ultimately,

298
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that that's not a surefire way

299
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: to grade coverage because you don't know what the coverage

300
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: was or what that defender was asked to do. It's

301
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: one of the things that I you know, Chris collins Worth,

302
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: I've played against the League of notn ing for a

303
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: long time Pro Football Focus. I mean, they grade, They

304
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: grade every position on every team, on every game.

305
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: Man.

306
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying the guys they have doing the

307
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: grading aren't good at what they do. Former players, they

308
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: understand the game. You don't know. You don't know how

309
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: that play was taught in the in that individual offensive

310
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: line room.

311
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: You just don't.

312
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: And you're grading guys, and then that is information's being forwarded.

313
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: And not only is it well, it's kind of good

314
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: for talk shows because we have stuff to talk about

315
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: that that's being used when they negotiate contracts.

316
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: Right.

317
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: So, all I'm saying is I'm not I'm not downplaying

318
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: any of those organizations in terms of either worthless.

319
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: They know what they're talking about.

320
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: I would just be cautious before I would buy in

321
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: totally to all the rankings. And that's exact, exactly indicative

322
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: of what kind of player this particular player.

323
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: Is telling you about the vanced analytics. Yeah, excellent point, Dave.

324
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 7: And regarding Singleton, mentioned earlier he got off to a

325
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 7: slow start and then really came on the second half

326
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 7: of the season, coming off in ACL And I don't

327
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 7: know if people forgot he also had testicular cancer that

328
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 7: showed up. It was about mid season, right what he played.

329
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 7: I thought he played well down the stretch. Is he

330
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 7: the best inside linebacker in the league. No, But he's

331
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 7: a great team leader out there.

332
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: I mean a single handily turned the tide in the

333
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: Bovill's game.

334
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: With the hit. Yes, that's right on Cook.

335
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't come up with that hit, and they

336
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: don't come up with that fumble that game.

337
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: Well, Buffalo's in scoring range and they already had a

338
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: seven to seven point lead.

339
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: I think yep, they did. I'm a fan. I like him,

340
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: you know.

341
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: He was interesting moment during the interview and again crowded.

342
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: The guy's a d NBR for for getting him on.

343
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: He was saying how he really wants to do and

344
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: he's not being allowed to do it, but he really

345
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: wants to do I want to get fans in on

346
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: a whiteboard and let them tell me where they think

347
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: I messed up. Kind of deal, like I'd loved I'd

348
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: love to sit down.

349
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 3: Oh it be incredible, right.

350
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: Like all the fans and the one that texted us,

351
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 4: and I'm not even trying.

352
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: To call you out specifically to say they're like, oh,

353
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: well you're terrible in coverage. Oh okay, all right, let's

354
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: let's show me the play and then I'll tell you

355
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: what my assignment was on that play and what I was,

356
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: what I was actually trying to cover.

357
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 3: And again he was very self aware in that one.

358
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: He's like, everybody kills me for the sake one catch

359
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: and run because that one was very familiar because you

360
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: see him chasing afterwards. And he said, you know there,

361
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: I will call myself out on the ones I miss

362
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: and he's like that. I don't think he said that

363
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: one specifically, but he said there was another one that

364
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: he checked to the wrong thing or he did something.

365
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there was something else.

366
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: You said to but they checked and I should have

367
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: checked out of something I didn't. So yeah, and you

368
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: also have to factor in money involved. Right, Devin Bush

369
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: is an inside linebacker and signed in the offseason. He's

370
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: a good player for sure. What he signed for around

371
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: fourteen or fifteen million?

372
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 3: Yeah a year.

373
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd is fifteen I'm sorry, Devin Lloyd, Yeah, I said,

374
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: Devin Bush. Yeah, Devin Lloyd was fifteen per So fifteen

375
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: million per what Devin Bush signed for?

376
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: Is he still he signed to.

377
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: So Lloyd signed for fifteen million and Singleton signed for

378
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: a little more than seven, right, So you do have

379
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: to factor in money also.

380
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's just true. Bush signed for

381
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: three years thirty with Chicago. Okay, three year thirty, so

382
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 3: that's ten a year. Yep.

383
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: Money plays a significant part of all of these signings.

384
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: It does.

385
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 4: It's not saying that they're going cheap. I don't think

386
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: that's the case.

387
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: They got two linebackers basically for the price of Devin

388
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: Lloyd in fact under that because they're combined for like

389
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: thirteen and thirteen and a half yep.

390
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: So, I mean, I don't know for Broncos fans, and it's.

391
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: Like it's like Alex Singleton said, I I guarantee the

392
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: Broncos wouldn't bring me back if they thought I was

393
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: a blank player, that's true. I mean, if they didn't

394
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: think he could play or straanad. I'm more surprised about

395
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: bringing Justin back than I am about Alex.

396
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 8: Oh.

397
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: Really, yes, sir, I am, I mean good for Justin,

398
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: but I'm I'm I'm surprised that.

399
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 3: And Justin got a pretty pretty good deal.

400
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's making over six yep, yeah for him. All right,

401
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: we'll bright back, o Kawick. Are you saying he hits

402
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: you hard enough to stop your heart? Hits me pretty hard?

403
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: He really really did well.

404
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 7: He wasn't messing around, and he thought it was hilarious.

405
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 3: You're between him and a pizza.

406
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 7: Right, And it happened so quick, I mean, within like

407
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 7: two seconds it was over and he was already back

408
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 7: in the lock I.

409
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: Can't imagine that he wouldn't see the humor and and

410
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: two guys calling him out on TV and then ordering

411
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: a pizza, insinuating that he was fat, and then taking

412
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: the pizza into the locker room.

413
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: After he'd been thrown out of the game.

414
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: I don't understand at all why he wouldn't find that humor.

415
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 7: Honestly, I thought it was very funny. He was very funny.

416
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 7: Even even him punching me, I thought was funny. Oh

417
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 7: I did too serious? I mean I didn't. I wasn't

418
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 7: rooting for it. To stop your heart. No, good lord,

419
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 7: but I'm sure you were laughing your ass. I was, Yeah,

420
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 7: I really was. It was good. It was good. All

421
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 7: Nuggets fans were laughing. That's great TV, live television. Anything

422
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 7: can happen, Ryan, anything. You've got to be prepared, got

423
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 7: to take a shot from a big man every now

424
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 7: and then.

425
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: Okay, so do you want to hear?

426
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: I have one more cut from Alex Singleton on with

427
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: our friends at d n VR or t J. Huschman

428
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: Zada talking about Brandon Aiyuk and how people should be

429
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: wary of signing him.

430
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: By the way, t J.

431
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: Huschbinzada, obviously, long time wide receiver is the personal wide

432
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: receiver coach of Brandon new That's very true. Well, let's

433
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: play that one. It's kind of an interesting sound bite.

434
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: When he was asked should teams sign now he has

435
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: been released brand now has not been released former wide receiver,

436
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: one of the forty nine ers.

437
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 4: But here's what he said, Yes, they should want them.

438
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 6: Okay, but you gotta be careful.

439
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 9: And I say this, I like ba uh, but I

440
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 9: said this last week about Stefon Diggs and this normally

441
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 9: only happens when a player starts to get older. BA

442
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 9: is still really young, fast, quick, explosive. But what he

443
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 9: did last year, it's kind of crazy. You got all

444
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 9: this guaranteed money, you ain't showing up, you ain't You're

445
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 9: getting fine, and you basically four go what was it

446
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 9: over thirty million?

447
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 10: Right? Over thirty million dollars? Like, if you're a team

448
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 10: and you give him a good contract, is this what

449
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 10: you're gonna get? Because this is what he has shown us.

450
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 10: Signs deal with the Niners bad, Lucky gets hurt. Don't

451
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 10: want that, but it's how he handled everything after that.

452
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 6: Yes, he's going to get signed, but.

453
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 10: If you're a team, you gotta structure that contract.

454
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: The right way. Talk about you gotta.

455
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 10: Make sure that you protect yourself because of what he's.

456
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 6: Shown you to be. You know, John Lynch and Kyle.

457
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 10: Shanahan they talking to the people across the NFL telling

458
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 10: them everything that went down and how it occurred. And

459
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 10: so yes, I would want him on my team. I would,

460
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 10: but it got to be at the right price. I

461
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 10: got to make sure financially that we are protected as

462
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 10: a team and organization because I've never seen anybody do

463
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 10: this at so young of an age, got so.

464
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 6: Many years ahead of him, I just have never seen this.

465
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: Will tell me all that, Dave. I think that is TJ.

466
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: Huschmanzada just being honest. And he does a show I

467
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 2: occasionally catch on the weekends. Yeah, he's opinionated, and he

468
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: also has been been a wide receiver coach, like a

469
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: workout coach, and he worked with Brandon Ayuk, and I

470
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 2: think that my take on the Ayuk situation is he

471
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: got very very bad advice, very bad advice, and it

472
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 2: got into a little bit of a pissing contest, which you,

473
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: as a former player, I.

474
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: Can tell you. And in the last let's say, so

475
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 3: this is your third six in the last almost fifty years, you.

476
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: Can count on one hand players that have got into

477
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: a pe contest with an NFL team or the league

478
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: and have come out ahead in the last fifty years.

479
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: They'd be on one hand and you'd have fingers left over.

480
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: Right.

481
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: John Elway said, I'm not playing in Baltimore. Baltimore said,

482
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: we're drafting you, and you're gonna play. You don't understand,

483
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: I'm not playing in Baltimore, and you know what, there's

484
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: tough on John. But he hung in there and he

485
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: didn't play in Baltimore. Eli Manning, I'm not gonna go

486
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: play in San Diego, not with that coach in GM.

487
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: They said we're gonna draft you. Anyway, he hung in there.

488
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: There was a trade with Philip Rivers, and Rivers had

489
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: a great career in San Diego. Eli had a great

490
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 2: career in New York. But maybe a couple other ones

491
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: that I'm not I'm thinking of right now at the

492
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: top of my head. Brandon Ayuk had no chance. I mean,

493
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: you lose perspective on how much money thirty million dollars

494
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 2: is because you have people saying, man, you gotta hey, listen,

495
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: you got to you gotta draw the line. You know,

496
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 2: they disrespected you. They've done this, they've done that. They

497
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars and you I don't care what kind

498
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: of contract he gets coming out of there. He's gonna

499
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: just like TJ said, he's going to have.

500
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 3: To go somewhere and prove it.

501
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't know he's going to be in a better

502
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: situation than playing in San Francisco and he's already thirty

503
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 2: million dollars behind, so I no, I don't think that

504
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: was a good move by him last year.

505
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 7: I can't imagine anybody that knows what they're doing in

506
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 7: this business would give him that advice. To me, I

507
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 7: feel like he whoever was advising him, he was going

508
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 7: against their advice and it made him, to me, looks unstable,

509
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 7: looks like he has some sort of issue, you know,

510
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 7: maybe the mental health issue he's battling of some sort

511
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 7: that'd be it said. He's a heck of a good

512
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 7: wide receiver, very very talented guy in his prime.

513
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 3: There's gonna be teams who want him.

514
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 7: But yeah, you're gonna have to have a heart to

515
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 7: heart talk with this guy, find out.

516
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 3: Who he really is.

517
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 7: And this would be a great guy for anybody's offense,

518
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 7: even the Broncos. I say, even the Broncos at the

519
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 7: right price. And if you know that he's you got

520
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 7: to find out what kind of guy he is and

521
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 7: how that all went down. I would be interested in

522
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 7: having him here because he's that talented, and I think

523
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 7: a guy like Sean Payton could maybe kind of rain

524
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 7: him in a bit.

525
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: I'd be interested. How about you certainly talented?

526
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I would probably say no because it feels like they

527
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: have made it very clear the kind of people they

528
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: want in that locker room right now by their moves.

529
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel like the target I mean upsides there,

530
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like they go out from What

531
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: do you think, Dave?

532
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 2: I mean, if I had to guess will they go

533
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: after him? I would I would say maybe. I would

534
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: say maybe, maybe they kicked the tires. But I think

535
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: the deal would have to be structured, just like TJ said,

536
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: with with so many guardrails just in case. I mean,

537
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: you got to get to know the guy and like, figure, Okay,

538
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 2: what kind of guy is this? Can we can we

539
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: count on him? As he accountable? He just set out

540
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: an entire year and lost thirty million dollars?

541
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: What's what's?

542
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: Why are we thinking that we're going to be any

543
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: different than San Francisco.

544
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 8: I redefined handsome, so because you, yes, you did, that's

545
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 8: not handsome.

546
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: I say, there's an obvious joke at the end of that.

547
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: If you want to lay it right up for you

548
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: carry it forward. You You listened a lot of names

549
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: last night that the Broncos potentially could be in on

550
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: Let's let's get.

551
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: Right to it, all right, let's let's pin.

552
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: Let's pin you down, Okay, pin your little last right

553
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: to the mat.

554
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: Who are they going to sign? Green Law over? I

555
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: said he was going to go. That's not even a

556
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: blind squirrel move there. Everybody knew.

557
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: Give Broncos fans something that you feel real confidence is

558
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: going to have.

559
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 8: I think that they have three or four players they

560
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 8: are going to sign in the next week. I do

561
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 8: believe two or three of them are from that that

562
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 8: B tier.

563
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: That we have three tier free.

564
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 8: Agency guys that I've mentioned these names before, but I

565
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 8: mentioned me again, Juan Jennings, David Joku, Cam Jordan, those guys,

566
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 8: if they're cheap enough, uh, if they're cost effective enough,

567
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 8: could be in the plans for the Broncos.

568
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: What about we just were talking about Brandon Ayyuk. No

569
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: chance it comes here, zero, This kind of was zero.

570
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: He's going to Washington, I'll just tell you now.

571
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: So same thing with Javon Diggs, that that's a question mark.

572
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: I put a feeler out on that because I don't know.

573
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 8: They tried to bring Stefan Diggs in last year and

574
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 8: they ultimately failed on that, and they wound up paying

575
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 8: Courtland Sutton.

576
00:28:59,400 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

577
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 8: I mean, because if you're putting him on the field,

578
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 8: you're taking what Courtland and Pat Ryan off it. I mean,

579
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's doable now, but I'm not

580
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 8: ruling it out.

581
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: I going to Washington to reunite with Jad and Daniels, Yes.

582
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: And and Adam Peters, who's the GM of the Commanders

583
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: who had spent many years in San Francisco.

584
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: Okay, all right.

585
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: You're saying Stefon Diggs and Courtland Sutton could be on

586
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: the field at same time.

587
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 8: I mean they can, I guess, but it's kind of redundant.

588
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 8: They played the same role.

589
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like I feel like that could that

590
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: could work scabbatically, But I don't know.

591
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 3: David Well, I mean, I read wide receiver.

592
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: I think they're different. I think their different style of receivers,

593
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: right for sure. I listen, I wasn't a fan of

594
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: what Diggs did in Buffalo, but I still I looked

595
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: a lot of his stuff. He still gets opened, he

596
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: can still get open and still catch the ball. So

597
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: it's not like you know you're signing him and you're

598
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: just trying to do him a favor. I think I

599
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: think Stefan Diggs is still a good player.

600
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 4: You just got to keep him in line off the field.

601
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's the thing.

602
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: And and this guy that is the head coach of

603
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos does not like guys in the locker room.

604
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: They're gonna going to act up.

605
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: And I think there'd be plenty of coaches that if

606
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: they had their if they had their druthers, they'd go

607
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: along those lines too.

608
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: Is there a kind of big splash in the future.

609
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 3: The big splash was bringing all your guys back.

610
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 8: I mean, the Broncos are in a position now where

611
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 8: you want to be as an NFL team. You bring

612
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 8: all your guys back, you have the quarterback, you're a

613
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 8: playoff caliber team, and all you got to do is

614
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 8: maybe plug a few things here or there and hit

615
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 8: the draft to get the replacements.

616
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 3: That is the splash.

617
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: You're the envy of the league. Now, that's not how

618
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: Broncos fans fell. Those fans are melting down.

619
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: And everybody else is looking at the Broncos like I

620
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: want to be that.

621
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: It's like Broncos fans are probably radio mentions. I can't

622
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: even be on Twitter. Now.

623
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: It's just it's obscene, is it rough? Oh, it's ridiculous.

624
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: They're all they're all just sitting there like we're waiting.

625
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: We're waiting.

626
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: You know.

627
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 8: They put up the graphics that the Denver Broncos have

628
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 8: passed on free agency to go to the draft, and

629
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 8: I mean, it's it's ridiculous.

630
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 3: Somehow they blame you.

631
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 6: They do.

632
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 7: Everything back to you. I get your fault. You lied

633
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 7: about something. You said this was going to happen, and

634
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 7: it didn't happen.

635
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 3: Except exactly what it was going to happen.

636
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 6: They weren't.

637
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 8: You know, they're gonna fddle around with the Travis at

638
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 8: End thing, but it probably get priced out.

639
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: They'd already given all the.

640
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 8: Extensions away on the you know, the Russ money coming

641
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 8: off the books, they'd already given it away an extensions.

642
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: All right.

643
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question the Bronco fence. I

644
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: don't think we'll care anything about Russell Wilson. What about

645
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: him just signed with the team. I don't know where

646
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: the home is for him. I don't know where the

647
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: home is for Kirk Cousins either. You know, maybe Arizona,

648
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: but I don't think either one of them.

649
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 3: Or about the raiders Russ to the US.

650
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 8: Maybe if you wanted somebody to sort of mentor Mendoza,

651
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 8: I guess maybe, But I mean you would have to

652
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 8: be basically Las Vegas, Arizona, because that's the only offense

653
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 8: he's ever operated out of
