1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Dave's not here because we usually play the drop Benjamin

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: Albright in studio. Hi Ben, I legally changed my name

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: to Dave's not Here. Actually that's probably more popular than

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Joy Vampire.

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: It was the only way that I was going to

6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: get positivity in my intro.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: People might remember me is wet blanket all Bright, but

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: I now go by Dave's not here legally.

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 3: Every time you say it, you owe me a dime too,

10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 3: A trademarked Wow.

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: This is good, this is good. It's good to see him. Man,

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: how are you pretty well? You know, it's the end

13
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: of the year, all that kind of stuff. I gotta

14
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: figure out what persona I'm putting on next year. Turning

15
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: heel this year was fun, but I think that's probably over.

16
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: But you're so good at it. Would we say, well, okay,

17
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm definitely taking liberty for the word goods, but I'll

18
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: just say that you good.

19
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: He's doing a lot of heavy so leaning hard to

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 3: it better than anybody I know. You commit to it.

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: I commit to the bit. I always commit to the

22
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: bit that's right, better than anybody I know.

23
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: So I don't.

24
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: I just don't know what it would be like for

25
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: you if you just were like, I don't know positive

26
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: or like two years.

27
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: Ago and everybody said it was state sponsored. Yeah remember

28
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: that I was to show with you.

29
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Now now that we bring him the spin doctors, now

30
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think it was my influence. And then

31
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: now because you work a lot with Nick that you

32
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: know he tends to go down to the weeds on

33
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: some weird he's the secret what blanket is it's all

34
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: his all his sif sorcery.

35
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: You know back there that he's the secret wet blanket.

36
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: So he's the Dick Cheney tear. Never mind, I'll stop

37
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: it there. I didn't get shot in the face.

38
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: So he the puppet master. I'll start called him that.

39
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: I'll start see what happens, to see what happens here,

40
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: the puppet master.

41
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 3: He's like, what are you doing?

42
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: Well?

43
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: He likes nicknames, so that's the thing. His first name

44
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: is Nick.

45
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 4: Wow.

46
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: Wait to go, Welcome, we're.

47
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: Going Alex Forsyth joining us here in just a matter

48
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: of moment, the starting center for your Denver Broncos.

49
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to chatting with him.

50
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: And the Broncos have a big game coming up here

51
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: against the Chargers.

52
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: We were just talking about it off air.

53
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Can't share all that, but I will say that I

54
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: liked what Sean said. I was listening to a little

55
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: bit press conference before, and we'll bring you some of

56
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: that coming up here in a little bit. But I

57
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: liked what Sean said where he said it's about us.

58
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: So this game, whatever they're doing, this is about us.

59
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: And that's exactly how you have to approach it, isn't it.

60
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean this is you can't you're in

61
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: the driver's seat. You gotta quit worrying about scenarios and

62
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. Your mantra for this needs

63
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: to be just handle business.

64
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: Yep.

65
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, it's handled. It's just

66
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: like it was in Kannsasity doesn't matter if it's an

67
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: insure a mile. You played super conservative with the Kansas

68
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: City thing, and yeah you got a little you know,

69
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: you got some of the national people put some snark

70
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: out there, and it's just separate the people that know

71
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: ball from the people that don't. But nice end of

72
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: the day, you just got to handle business. You know,

73
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: you're you'ren't ramping up for anything until the playoffs. You

74
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: just got to go out there be yourself. And handle business,

75
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: you know.

76
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 3: For the Chargers, it's an interesting deal.

77
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Zach and I were talking about this right before the show,

78
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: because you sent a message right when you announce your

79
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: quarterback isn't playing, look one way or the other. That

80
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: is a message that we don't necessarily tend to win

81
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: this game. Now, whether you will, you know, privately say

82
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: another thing like I know we're gonna go out there

83
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: and you know, justin Herbert's just happened to be too

84
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: banged up to play this game, bless you, but you know,

85
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: regardless of it, it just feels like once you send

86
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: that message, it sort of filters to everybody. It filters

87
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: to the players that may be thinking they might be

88
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: out for this game as well, right and and there's

89
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: a there's a mindset shift. It feels like if you're

90
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers, you're basically prepared as this as though it's

91
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: a bit of a buy for you, and you can

92
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: basically start your prep for the Patriots now, I.

93
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: Mean, Katta, there's some scenarios where you could be you know,

94
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: different seeds based on different things if you're the Chargers here,

95
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: but you can you can sort of start that, I

96
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: think if you're the Chargers.

97
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: With where you're at, with.

98
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: What you've been able to do, I think you're at

99
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: the point where you just want to get healthy for

100
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

101
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: You got to play it on the road, no matter what.

102
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: You know that much, which which is fascinating some other

103
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: point out last night.

104
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: Like you look at this playoff field and I'm not

105
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: air quotes scared of anybody, but I dislike the matchups

106
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: against the wild cards significantly more than I dislike the

107
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: matchups against the division winners. I would rather play the Patriots,

108
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: the Jags currently or the Steelers currently, then I would

109
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: detections the Chargers of the Bills. I think both those

110
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: all three of those present worst matchups at full strength.

111
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: This is gonna be one of those games just like

112
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: last week last year, excuse me, in Week eighteen, where

113
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: you just need to go out handle business. If you

114
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: want to run it up, fine I wouldn't, but you know,

115
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: go out and get yourself a lead and then rest

116
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: of the guys you want to rest in the second half.

117
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: If you get that lead big enough, do you really

118
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: think that?

119
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 4: See?

120
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: That was the point we are getting Into's not gonna resto,

121
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: He's gotta penn Hiles for both, but like Ben Powers,

122
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Mike mcglinchy, guys who have been dinged up well, but

123
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: they haven't played anybody like that, like all your round

124
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: all year long, even.

125
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: In big spreads. Right, different though, okay, I guess is different.

126
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: You know the midway through the season, you don't do that.

127
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: You're you're at the end here though. I will say

128
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna get the buye probably so you know you're

129
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: gonna get a little help on that. But I would

130
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: play my guys into the second half and then if

131
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: you got the multi score lead, I would put it

132
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: in cruise control personally.

133
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: By the way, moments ago, Sean Payton wouldn't I guess

134
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: he was told that it was New Year's Eve. He said,

135
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: it's the most overrated holiday.

136
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: Of course it is. The shirts are ugly.

137
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: Sure, the shirts and hats are ugly. Most overrated holiday.

138
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: That's that's too funny. Let's end out to the KWA

139

00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,960

Speaker 1: It's a short week, You're all of a sudden thrust

155
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: into a starting role.

156
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 3: What was that game like?

157
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,279

Speaker 4: to win. You know, it helped that started a couple

160
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: of games last year, so I had a you know,

161
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: if I think four starts under my belt, so.

162
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 5: I can kind of lean on that experience last year.

163
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 4: But you know, the guys around me did a great job.

164
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 5: You know, it's as offensive line, we all like to

165
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: say we.

166
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: Played five as one as a as a unit. So

167
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 4: it was a great, great team effort and great team win.

168
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 4: So it was really good.

169
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 2: How much of your previous similiarity with bo do you

170
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: think went into making that as smooth a transition as

171
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: it was.

172
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think, uh, you know, I've got probably.

173
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: A thousands snaps of though in in college and then

174
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: another couple hundred in the NFL.

175
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 5: In games between last year and this year. So I

176
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 5: think it was it was great to have a familiar

177
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 5: quarterback behind and I.

178
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 4: Think we you know, we got to.

179
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 5: Fat an ontic chemistry going back to.

180
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 4: Our college days for sure.

181
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: How similar is it now here in the pros?

182
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: Like, do you guys just get right back into it

183
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: and you and you immediately have that connection or is

184
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: a little bit different being our pro team together?

185
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 5: I did, It's pretty simmar.

186
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it's football wherever you go.

187
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 5: So I think for us, we just try to.

188
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: Treat it the same.

189
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 5: And you know, obviously, uh playbook in the in the

190
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 5: NFL is a little bit more complex.

191
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: In college, but you're playing pretty much the same game.

192
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: So uh, it's good to have a familiar face back

193
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: there and you know, someone.

194
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 4: I had chemistry with. I'm I'm really happy about that.

195
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: As this thing takes more and more towards the playoffs,

196
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: how how difficult is it to keep in the one

197
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: game at a time mindset When you look at this

198
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: and you're like, yea, we are sitting in the driver's

199
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: seat at number one. We are make we have clinched

200
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: a playoff spot. You know those kinds of things. How

201
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: difficult is it to to to get back to sort

202
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: of that micro focus of just this game and taking

203
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: care of this moment.

204
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you just got to be where your

205
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: feet are at and just thinking, you know, do your job.

206
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: Don't go out there and try to be Superman or

207
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: someone here you aren't. Just everyone going out there and

208
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 4: doing their job and you know, keeping the main thing,

209
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: the main thing.

210
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: Alex Forsyth joining us here and again big game coming

211
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: up against the Chargers. Division games can be kind of

212
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 1: a little bit weird, and I like what coach Payton

213
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: said moments ago, he said, this is about us when

214
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: he was sort of asked about, well, the Chargers of

215
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: my bench guys are already going to mention their quarterback.

216
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: Has that been the message this.

217
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Week to the team is that we need to focus

218
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: on ourselves.

219
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. Just focus on ourselves and you

220
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 4: know we can control, we can control, but yeah, one

221
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: hundred percent. Uh resonated with what he said to the

222
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: whole team.

223
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: You know, your your first NFL start obviously last year

224
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: against the Chargers Week six. Is there any sort of

225
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: semit free to that you know this week? Did you

226
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: you know, you've had a start against this team before,

227
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: you kind of maybe have some familiarity with what they're

228
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: trying to bring on defense and with that defensive line.

229
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know each game they've they's kind of

230
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: evolved schematically and personalized in the you know, past year.

231
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 4: But definitely, yeah, yeah, I think it helps that, you know,

232
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: I played against them last year, so just kind of continue.

233
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 5: To try to improve and you know, play better hopefully against.

234
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: Them this year.

235
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: And as you guys ramp into the postseason here, of course,

236
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: you got this game. Not trying to look past this,

237
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: but are there some things for the offensive line, some

238
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: things that you want to kind of feel like, hey

239
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: we can sew up in this final game before we

240
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: head into the postseason, specifically maybe even the run game.

241
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think we're just focused unimproving, just

242
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 4: like we do every week. Can't think of anything out

243
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 4: the top of my head, but we're just we're just

244
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: focused on this game and you know, one practice, one

245
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: play at a time, and eventually one game at a time.

246
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: Perfect.

247
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: Hey, Alex, we really appreciate the time, man, enjoy your

248
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve with your wife and watching film man,

249
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: and we will hopefully check it with you down the road.

250
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Best of luck on Sunday.

251
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 5: Appreciate you guys, Thank you all.

252
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: Right, take care.

253
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: Alex Forsyth Broncos starting center, and I more or less

254
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: expected him to say that being with Bonix is relatively

255
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: close to what it was in college. I just sort

256
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: of wonder, you know, he mentioned the playbook. Playbook is

257
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: far more expansive, extensive, and he hasn't been the starting

258
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: center all year. I mean, it really is remarkable to

259
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: me and a testament to the kind of depths that

260
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos have drafted and developed. Right that you're starting center, who,

261
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: by the way, you just gave a contract extension.

262
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: To and literally Hotty pretty empty contract extension.

263
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: He has to take a seat in on ir and

264
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: now you've got to slide in a guy that has

265
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: been the backup the entire year, has not played in

266
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: the games except for maybe you know, some special teams.

267
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: Obviously he's been up and active for every game, but

268
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: has not started at center. And oh, by the way,

269
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: now you got to go into arrowhead. Even if the

270
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs are not who they usually are. Now you're gonna

271
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: go into Arrowhead and you gotta find a way to

272
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: win this game.

273
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know my way.

274
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: Don't have any mistakes because the center of one bad

275
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: snap could change the entire game, especially by.

276
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: The Marsin as this team plays out.

277
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's you know, it's got to be.

278
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: And you know, I wanted to ask me a little

279
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: bit about that. As far as as far as they go.

280
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: You talk about a guy who had had what nine

281
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 2: offensive snaps all the year leading up to that game. Now,

282
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: of course he had offensive snaps you know last year

283
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: because he played that stretch from the Raiders Chargers Saints

284
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: Panthers Ravens stretched last year. You know, he came on

285
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: in relief in that Raiders game and then started Charge game.

286
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: But he you know, I wanted to kind of get

287
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: to that a little bit, but he just seemed like nah,

288
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: he just seemed nonpluss about it, Like it's one of

289
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: those things where were like, now, I'm just some next dude, up,

290
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: my this's my deal. And certainly obviously had the familiarity

291
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 2: with bo. I think that's the one thing when we

292
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: all knew what Burg was going on the ir That

293
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: was one of those things where we're like, what, oh, yeah,

294
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: this guy's got like a thousand collars snaps with bow.

295
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be that difficult transition. He already knows

296
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: where Baul wants the ball and doesn't have to really

297
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: adjust any of that kind of stuff.

298
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying anything negative about Luke Wattenberg, but

299
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: were you a little surprised that they gave him the

300
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: extension when they did?

301
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: I was, Yeah, I was surprised by a lot of that.

302
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: But I mean, is what it is, you know? I mean,

303
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: and I'm not down to Luke Wattenberg. It's just more

304
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: of a Sean Payon Pay's offensive lineman. I mean, that's

305
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: that's his m days offensive lineman.

306
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: But you had Alex Forsyth, Wh's still in a contract here,

307
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I mean, I guess you just

308
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: didn't want to go into the off season with that

309
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: position being when you felt like you had to fill.

310
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what it.

311
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: Is, maybe, you know, Yeah, I think and this is

312
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: the point where or you sort of push all in anyway,

313
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: You're in You're in year one of a three year

314
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: window with though, right because you've got the rookie contract

315
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: and everything, and then you're going to eventually hit the

316
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: fifth year option, which you'll have kind of you know

317
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: it's which is like a half step, and then you're

318
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: gonna have to pay him, right and that's where the

319
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: window ends. I mean, you look at how you have

320
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 2: to construct a roster to win a Super Bowl in

321
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: the modern era, and the margins go extremely thin once

322
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: you pay the quarterback.

323
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: And so you're you're in.

324
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: That year and I think you pay who you got

325
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: to pay at that point in time and go from that.

326
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: If you need to replace them, you can.

327
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: I guess we've seen this team willing to walk away

328
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: from contracts obviously the Russell Wilson situation. So it's surprised, yes,

329
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: but also not shocked because you know there's a continuity

330
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: to that. I will say one of the one of

331
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: the best stats of all time before the NIL era,

332
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: used to be the easiest way to tell if a

333
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: team was going to be successful for that year baring injury,

334
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: was the number of combined starts.

335
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 3: The offensive line had together.

336
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: It was one of the greatest indicators and how many

337
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: wins the team was going to get that year.

338
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: Prior to the nil it was continuity on the offensive line. Yeah,

339
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: makes sense.

340
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know the Sean subscribes to that

341
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: as a I mean, he's they said that was one

342
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: of the first things. I mean, obviously the first two

343
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: big signings they did were on the offensive line, and

344
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: then of course the next one was on defensive line

345
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: with Zach Allen.

346
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they want to grow some replacements for

347
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: some of that. Like I don't know, the Power is

348
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: going to be back next year, you know, we'll see, Yeah,

349
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: but I think they want to grow replacements for those

350
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: kind of guys and then figure it out from there.

351
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 2: But you've got everybody on that offensive line paid right now.

352
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: Everybody's paid. It's a paid offensive line. It doesn't happen anymore.

353
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: Well, and the same thing nearly with the defensive line,

354
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: with the exception of JFM, I mean, everybody else this

355
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: year either. Yeah, I know what I'm just saying. Like

356
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: he said, we build through the trenches. It's a very

357
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: old school mindset, but we build through the trenches and

358
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: it clearly is working. Go back and look at the

359
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: strength to your team, Go back and look at big

360
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: turnarounds the teams have had over the last ten years,

361
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: and I promise you they spent heavily on the offensive line.

362
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Look at what Detroit became after they spent and drafted

363
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: on the offensive line and defensive line sook what well

364
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: to a lesser extent, like what Cincinnati became. Now, people

365
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: are going to say that's Joe Burrow, and there's truth

366
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: to that, But they also made investments, you know, in

367
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: those places, at those points in time. Let me ask

368
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: you something of the Broncos for a moment, will look

369
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: past this game. Okay, Like I said, the players so

370
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: upset with you right now. The players can't believe it

371
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: being told he calls you.

372
00:14:53,560 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 3: The most overrated host and no, I'm kid Holiday and

373
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: then I am but he does know me, like sort

374
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: of Jack spare up. But he does know me, but

375
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: he knows who I am. That's who I am. Yeah,

376
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: did he get up from the table when you when

377
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: you show up?

378
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this what fasted the Broncos right now?

379
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: Do you have the most confidence in going to the postseason?

380
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: And like what do you mean like offense, defense, special

381
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: teams or like a position group.

382
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Or whatever you want to say you want to say,

383
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: like we were talking about it, earlier.

384
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: I have the most like in their ability to get

385
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: after the quarterback. And I realized that the people that

386
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: are getting after the quarterback are different now at the

387
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: end of the season than they were at the beginning

388
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: of the season, and that's because teams are changing the

389
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: way that they attack the Broncos. But I have more

390
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: faith in their ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks, even since

391
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: the Washington game where Kingsbury sort of laid out a

392
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: little bit of a blueprint than I do with any

393
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: other unit on the team. Okay, I mean that I

394
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: would say the offensive line to keep the keepy clean.

395
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: That was kind of one of the directions I was

396
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: going we're talking about for the show, the drop back

397
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: game for the Broncos, it's pretty confident.

398
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's elite.

399
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: It's not performing at the top of the entire league,

400
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: but they've been picking up their downs. They've been putting

401
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: themselves in manageable situations in all parts of the field,

402
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: and there's a certain confidence that Bonix is playing with

403
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: where if it's third and meet him, third and long,

404
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: especially if we're getting late into the game, he's converting

405
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: those like he's finding ways to sustained drives.

406
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: And I'm not even just talking about the Chiefs gaming.

407
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: This is like I've had a couple as a Raiders game,

408
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: they had the sustained drive game stuff like that.

409
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: The Packers game that they were very aggressive. They were

410
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: aggressive in parts of the Jags game. They got down

411
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: in that one and some of that. Actually I tied

412
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: back to the defense because the defense giving up four

413
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: red zone touchdowns was a season high. You're putting the

414
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: offense in a kind of a difficult situation. They're not

415
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: managed to be that kind of team.

416
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: I don't know that I call the offense appreciably aggressive,

417
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: but I would say that they've been more efficient earlier

418
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: in games than.

419
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: Oh man, they had eight explosive plays versus Packers, Like

420
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: what some of that was broke tackle? I mean it

421
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: was no, no, no, These are these are downfield attack passing schemes. Man, Yes, absolutely,

422
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: Like they certainly weren't the Raiders game, and they weren't

423
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: not those two games.

424
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: Okay, if you isolate that game, sure, a couples in

425
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: the Jazz game.

426
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the Jags, we're trying to get you do

427
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: the Jags were beating me into doing that.

428
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the drop drop, thank you, Ben, I

429
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: appreciate you giving me.

430
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: I pushed back against it, so I'm trying to.

431
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: My point is is since the Many by the Raiders game, right,

432
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: which is obviously the worst game of the season for

433
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: the especially for Bonis and the passing game, since that game,

434
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: they found a lot more success with the passing games.

435
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes a short passing game, but but really all in

436
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: all facets of it. That we go into the postseason,

437
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about this question earlier, what my

438
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: expectations are Bonix and this postseason run. I'm actually pretty

439
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: in confidence in bo Nicks's ability to put this team

440
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: in a good position to win games. And that's not

441
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: something I'd even go back two to three months from

442
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: this point, right, and I'd say, well, the defense is

443
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: going to have to continue to be elite.

444
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 3: You're gonna need the running game, you know, the stuff

445
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: you typically would say.

446
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: I'm on the other side of that, I'm saying, well,

447
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: the defense is still got to do what they got

448
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: to do, right, I mean, you know, after the quarterback,

449
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: you got to trying to find way you could get

450
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: some takeaways. But I have this unbelievable belief in bo

451
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: Nicks right now, and my confidence is as high as

452
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: its ever been in what he can do for this.

453
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 3: Team right now.

454
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: Well, I would say both shown enough in the fourth

455
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: quarter all year that my confidence in him was you know,

456
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: I'm not sad, you know, want up here and say

457
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: it's but it's never wavered. As far as that part goes,

458
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: my question is is is this team if the defense

459
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: is having a bad day or the offense isn't converting early,

460
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: can this team getting too big a hole?

461
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: And that's going to be a problem.

462
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: We saw that jack Smell and honestly, the offensive performance

463
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: against Jacksonvills frankly one of their worst the season. I

464
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 2: felt like, I mean, statistically it was it was okay,

465
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 2: but it was really I mean well, but.

466
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: Again I say that was part and parcel of other

467
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: factors too. I mean, again, you know, the defense was

468
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: was having a tough day, especially in the red zone.

469
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: The the field tilted pretty quick on them.

470
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, new turnovers and all that.

471
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: And I think actually, you know, some people were saying, well,

472
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: because he threw for like three hundred and fifty plus yards, right,

473
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: some of those.

474
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: Was quote unquote garbage time.

475
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: But I actually thought some of his garbage time stuff

476
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: was one of his weakest performance. I just he didn't

477
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: close strong, which were not typically used to seeing, which

478
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: is more of the factors. I think generally speaking, he

479
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: had a pretty good game up until the garbage time

480
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: and then it became like, I don't know what are

481
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: we doing here?

482
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: We just got to get out of this thing. Yeah,

483
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 3: they got, they got.

484
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: They got you to a point where you had to

485
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: make certain plays in the past game, and then they

486
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: sat back and camped those plays. That's right, you know,

487
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: as opposed to the way other teams have tried to

488
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 2: defense the Broncos. I thought to Jackson. Honestly, I thought

489
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 2: Jackson had a great game plan. I mean just they

490
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: had a great game, so it really didn't and they

491
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: were very motivated. Yeah, and the defense had it's maybe

492
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: it's worst game of the year.

493
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. You could say the Giants game early

494
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: on was pretty.

495
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: Bad, but I'd say that was, like I said, only

496
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: because of the red zone numbers. Like you, viewer, the

497
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: number one red zone defense in the league, and then

498
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: you give a four red zone touchdowns, Now two of

499
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: them were more or less gifted by some penalty calls.

500
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: But whatever, I mean, it's what it is that happens.

501
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: Every single week. Bad calls are gonna happen. You're gonna

502
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: have some fun way to survive them. But for me,

503
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: that was the game that really kind of I think

504
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe woke up the defense a bit and made them

505
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: recognize and understand that there's a certain.

506
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: Level of attention to detail they have to do.

507
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: But the question a half for Broncos fans out there

508
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: five six, six nine zero, what are your expectations of

509
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: bon Nicks in the postseason? Like I'm I'm feeling pretty

510
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: bullish on what Bonix is going to be able to do,

511
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: But I want to hear from Broncos fans. We were

512
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: talking about expectations yesterday, been on what we thought of

513
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: this team before the season started and what we think

514
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: about them now, right And I so I'll ask you

515
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: that on the other side. But my other question now

516
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: to Broncos fans, are are used bullish on Bonix as

517
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: I am?

518
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: I I don't know how to put that. I would

519
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: say that I am confident in BOE's ability. If the

520
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: game is within a score or two in the fourth quarter,

521
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: I would not say that I'm still sold on on some.

522
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: Of his first first early game stuff.

523
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: So I thought you were doing a whole New Year's

524
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: resolution thing, you were going to try to be more

525
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: positive resolution.

526
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I just got to quit the hurt, the

527
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: heel turned, but I still got to be honest with him.

528
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 3: He's still gotta be a wet blanket. I mean, you know,

529
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: I gotta be me.

530
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: You know, bo is tied with the quarterback for most

531
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: wins throughout his first hor many games.

532
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: Was the quarterback he's tied with again?

533
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 4: What was his name?

534
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: Derek carr M.

535
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: I thought it was Andrew luck one behind somebody else.

536
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 2: I can't remember who that guy was.

537
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 3: Well, they're right back.

538
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: Happy New Year's everybody, Ryan over Spinder, Binal Brighte, a

539
00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: ky sports pretty FREEOD performance, Kim a little short against Iowa.

540
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: Earlier we were watching arch Manning, who's going back to Texas?

541
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: And uh boy, did he just go to touchdown? It's

542
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: good stuff, good stuff arch Manning bringing him back. Who

543
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: do you got in this game?

544
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: Michigan? Oh boy? Awkward? Huh yeah, yeah, you're not rooting

545
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 3: for Biff Biff Potty.

546
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 2: I over financial analyst and millionaire Bic Potty.

547
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: I picked Texas to win this one. So we'll see

548
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: what what ends up happening. But I probably don't have

549
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: as much on it as you typically do, allegedly allegedly

550
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: typically do.

551
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: Five six, six nights zero.

552
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: So I asked you guys a question on how much

553
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: you are what you believe in when it comes to

554
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: Bonix and this postseason run from Noco Dan. I think

555
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: Bogus a little better every game. He will be great

556
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He's the youngest quarterback I can remember

557
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: who was able to elevate the play of his teammates.

558
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a great point. And he was at

559
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 3: by Sean Payton was asked about how Bohenex.

560
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: Has more fourth quarter comebacks than any other quarterback this year,

561
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: and Sean was funny, He's like, well, it's sort of

562
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: something that kind of builds off itself.

563
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: You get one and then you.

564
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: Kind of find out that you have the confidence to

565
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: keep doing it. And I mean, he's kind of right, right,

566
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: But I think it's more than just a quarterback. I

567
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: think it's a team, right, And that's where I think

568
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: some of this lies is it was a bit of

569
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: a novelty earlier in the year, these fourth quarter comebacks

570
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: like the Giants game and like on its own and

571
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: a standalone moment is a novelty. It's that's not something

572
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: that we talk about sustainability. What you did against the

573
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: Giants will probably never ever happen again. Like it almost

574
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: can't happen again. Like a thirty three point comeback in

575
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: the fourth court, expect not going to happen.

576
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, come back on the.

577
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: Road against the Eagles, that was amazing, but it did

578
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: take the Eagles also collapsing, right, I mean, those things

579
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: do happen. And eventually, if you lean on the team

580
00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: enough late in the game and don't let up, they

581
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: sometimes crater. Like teams just do that. There are more games.

582
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: The longer I've been around the NFL, I don't know

583
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: if you feel this way. The longer I've been around

584
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, the more I realize that teams they don't

585
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: always go and take the win. They just kind of

586
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: expect the win. Like there's a little bit of this,

587
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: like I would say coasting into a win. But sometimes

588
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: if you continue to press and press the issue, teams

589
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: they start to panic, especially if they thought they were

590
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: going to win the entire time, if they got comfortable

591
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: with the idea of winning all the time, you can

592
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: press the issue and sometimes you can steal some wins.

593
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's you know, honestly, that's been a long

594
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: time thing.

595
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 3: That's something that's plagued coaches over the years.

596
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: And that is, you know, you get to the playoffs

597
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 2: and you play not to lose instead of the win.

598
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: Right.

599
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: I think they wighe Phillips if he had the opportunity

600
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 2: to go back and talk about some of those playoff games,

601
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: Marty Schottenheimer rest in peace.

602
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: They have a chance to go back and talk about

603
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: a lot of.

604
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 2: Coaches that get a little too conservative too quickly in

605
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: those games regret the decisions to do that. Now, there

606
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 2: is something to when you get to a certain point

607
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: getting conservative. For instance, the Falcons are twenty eighty three

608
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: would have probably won that game if they had knelt

609
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: the ball three times instead of dropping.

610
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan back to pass and then the comeback came back.

611
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 3: For example, Right, that is the quintessential example. But if

612
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: you keep if you keep playing, you never know which

613
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 3: way the ball's gonna back exactly. You never know what's

614
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: gonna happen. And so that's why they.

615
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: Tell you not just to play to the whistle, play

616
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: through the whistle, and you know, and and go on

617
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: down to the clock strikes here because you never know

618
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: what could happen.

619
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up that that example should be

620
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: seared in everybody's minds. That comeback win by the Patriots

621
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: over the Falcons.

622
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 3: Twenty eighty three.

623
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: The field goal at that point probably kills. You know,

624
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: if you do three kneel downs on a field goal,

625
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: that probably kills the Patriots. And instead they drop it

626
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 2: back to pass trying to sling the ball over the yard.

627
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 2: They wound up get knocked down a field goal, put

628
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 2: a field goal range and everything went downhill from there.

629
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: And it just takes a little bit of something like

630
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: that to.

631
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: Get your guys to believe that you've got a chance

632
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: and then start fighting hard again.

633
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: So what's been great for the Broncos in the midst

634
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: of some of those say flukey, because that that doesn't

635
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: give it due credits.

636
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: But like I said, bid novelty bit of a I

637
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: don't know, just not expected comeback wins is you're able

638
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: to sort of say, well, this is what we can do.

639
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: Guess what we can do if we don't play ourselves

640
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: in such a big hole, or if we potentially play

641
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: up to our potential a little earlier in the game,

642
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: and then you start to find more successes as the

643
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: season goes on, and then it doesn't seem like such

644
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: a big hill to climb when you're only down by

645
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: one score in the fourth quarter and they've consistently done that.

646
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: So it kind of brings me back to my original

647
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: point about bone Nicks is why I have so much

648
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: optimism about what the Broncos, specifically at offense, are going

649
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: to be able to do in the postseason.

650
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: If I have any worry.

651
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: At all, it's some of the leaky defense stuff that

652
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: we're seeing, especially if you're getting gets.

653
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: Some of these teams that can run the ball. Well,

654
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: that's that's where I come in on it. These teams

655
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: that can run the ball, and can the Broncos run

656
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: the ball? Currently, Bonnicks leads the NFL in dropbacks, leads

657
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: the NFL in passing attempts.

658
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: We don't need to be that, especially why not who

659
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 3: you are.

660
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: He's the least efficient quarterback in the top fifteen passing

661
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: attempts at doing that, whether it's completion percentage, net yards

662
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 2: per a town to win. That's a season percentage interception

663
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: percent What do you do it in the last month

664
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: and a half. I mean, you're you have scaled back

665
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 2: the run game because you recognize that your running backs

666
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: can't do these kinds of things.

667
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 3: Can you refuse to go get a big body guy?

668
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: And so you're you're getting more efficient completion percentages or

669
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: nickel and dime type stuff. But these games are a

670
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 2: lot closer than maybe they should be against some of

671
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: these teams that maybe they shouldn't be that close against.

672
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 3: And so I think there's there's a bit of a

673
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: double edged sword to that.

674
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: Losing JK Dobbins hurt and Jk's not going to be

675
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: back until at least the AFC Championship game. So you

676
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: know you're going to have to figure out how to

677
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: win a game or two against a really good team,

678
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: uh with without that.

679
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: So Purbin Albright just tweeted it out at aubright, NFL.

680
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I've said this for JK Dobbins, He's going

681
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: to be back for the EFC champion Now, that'd.

682
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 2: Be the earliest he could be back. And I've very

683
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: clearly said that many times. This is not something that's new.

684
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: Happy to year's guys on the tech side.

685
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: So I expect to see Bonix's best football of his

686
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: pro career because of a combination of his development and

687
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Shawn's game plan and the scheme will put them in

688
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: the best position to succeed.

689
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 3: Scratching my head, how Ben is still not sold on Nick?

690
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: I didn't say that though stuff the goal posts, on

691
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: this stuff all over the place.

692
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 3: I said, I'm not.

693
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 2: Sold on the early game stuff that they've done. We

694
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: still find ourselves in deficits. We still find ourselves close

695
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: against teams we shouldn't be close against, or in deficits

696
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: against teams we shouldn't be a deficits against. Now, I

697
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: did say I believe in him in the fourth quarter,

698
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: in his ability to bring him back because we've seen

699
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: it all year.

700
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: But are gonna move into the goal posts.

701
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: But I mean, I'm giving a nuanced answer if you

702
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 2: you know, if you want hot take radio, they got

703
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: they got the number one hot take radio somewhere else.

704
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 3: I think as far as allegedly allegedly.

705
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: I think as far as the rest of that goes,

706
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: you know, I believe in BOE's ability to always keep

707
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: this team at least, you know, on the CUSP even

708
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville game where it was they were still fighting

709
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: and trying there at the end.

710
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: I just I'm.

711
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: Concerned that some of these teams that are coming up

712
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: are lot better than the Commanders without Jaydeon Daniels.

713
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: Or the Raiders who are you know, Terra bad?

714
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: You know, those kinds of things. The Texans without c J.

715
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: Stroud versus the Texas.

716
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 4: With c J.

717
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 3: Stroud, or I can go on and on.

718
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to sit here and say the Broncos

719
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: got lucky, because you can't get lucky and end up

720
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: in the number one.

721
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 3: See, you just can't.

722
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: But there are there is some nuance to this conversation,

723
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: and so like, yeah I have concerns. It doesn't mean,

724
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't mean Broncos can't win a Super Bowl.

725
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: Just mean say I got some concerns with these things.

726
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: Why will you not have concerns? Ben?

727
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: So when they've won the Super Bowl? Okay, well I

728
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 3: take that fact when they make it to the Super Bowl,

729
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: and I can sit back and be a fan instead

730
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: of a critic.

731
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: That's so great, You're I was hosting with our mutual

732
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: friend Mario last night and he asked me, are the

733
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: Broncos going to make the Super Bowl?

734
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: I said, yes, they are, I said they're gonna. Don't No, no, no, no,

735
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: he said.

736
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: And his counter was like, I'm so glad I have

737
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: you today because if I would have had been here,

738
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: he would have gone on and on about well, this

739
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: and this and this and then maybe this and if

740
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: this thing breaks this way, then.

741
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: Maybe the candid It's like you boom, you just said it.

742
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: But you guys are lifelong Broncos fans like you guys.

743
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: Are you're you're you're.

744
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: In addition, your your analysis is also filtered through the

745
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: lens of hey, I want this thing to happen. I

746
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: don't care, like I I hope it does. I hope

747
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: it does, because what do you think we talked to

748
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: on a daily basis? Who do I think who talks

749
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: to on a daily basis? We this show collectively?

750
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: The fans?

751
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 4: I don't.

752
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: I mean, but were we on the premise? Do you

753
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: think we talked to chiefs fans of Broncos fans? But

754
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: I don't know.

755
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: Koe has a pretty strong signal, like a lot of

756
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: a lot of Chiefs fans out there. Probably I just

757
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: want you to ponder that for a moment while we

758
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: hit this.

759
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: As you you started off with no shavee November and

760
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 3: and just delve right into decend beard. I believe you

761
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: know every month is a good month to raise awareness.

762
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: Now, Ryan, when Ryan saw that, did he say you

763
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: were copying it? Just like like four and out in America?

764
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: I see you've copied my beard like he did. He

765
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: he pull one of those when he started trying.

766
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 3: Rip off Ryan Edwards. In many different fasts in my life,

767
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: I've tried to rip on Ryan Edwards, rip off Ryan Edwards.

768
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry you heard that?

Speaker 3: and called you yourself the humble Sorry filling my chair

786
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: there that often talks about how humble he is.

787
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna hear Sean Payton. I was trying to

788
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: grab the audio of him talking about New Year's Eve. Uh,

789
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: we'll have that here on the top of the hour.

790
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: Very funny stuff.

791
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: Did you hear his?

792
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 4: Uh?

793
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I probably haven't heard it. But on the expected

794
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: crowd noise stuff, this is hysterical. I didn't know that.

795
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: It's very reminiscent.

796
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: I did see the Adam Troutman quote. Yeah it went great.

797
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah that was great and he got to laugh at

798
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: that one. But but Sean was asked about sort of

799
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: the expected crowd noise of the game coming up on

800
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: Sunday and how he has deemed this a playoff game.

801
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: It's a play it is a playoff game. Broncos need

802
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: to treat it like a playoff game. The Chargers are not, obviously,

803
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: they're mentioned players, but the Broncos have to treat it

804
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: as such.

805
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: And this was hysterical.

806
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: Reminded me a lot of Peyton Manning when he was

807
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: here and he was like, I don't want to see

808
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: putting the opposing coach or the posing.

809
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: Quarterbackup on the Remember that when he was like, don't

810
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: put him up on the board. I don't want any

811
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: of that stuff. I don't want, you know, any So

812
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: this was hysterically there we go Sean.

813
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 6: Man, I sure, hope so and I and I say this,

814
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 6: I'm not being critical, but earlier leer and so no

815
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 6: shell games on the scoreboard, no follow the follow the

816
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 6: Bronco head or any let's let's let's let's get this,

817
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 6: you know, when when they're getting in the huddle deafening

818
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 6: and and that's the twelfth Man that truly there could

819
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 6: be no better When A and M coined that phrase

820
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 6: and then the Seahawks bought it from him, it really fits,

821
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 6: you know. That is what's so exciting about this game.

822
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 6: And then what a win in this game can do,

823
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 6: you know, for the next couple couple of games. So

824
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 6: and remember, you know, I granted we were in a dome,

825
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 6: but there's a there's about four stadiums in this league

826
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 6: that can be deafening, and I think ours in the

827
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 6: last beginning at Green.

828
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 4: Bay, we heard it.

829
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 6: And so yeah, they're an active they're an active part

830
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 6: if they want two more home games, right, and so

831
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 6: no quizzes, no did you know? All right, you do

832
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 6: none of that that stuff you do with the basketball games?

833
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: Good lord?

834
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 4: No, did you knows?

835
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 3: No shell games. Here's the one to say that I

836
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 3: hate fun.

837
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: Well, it's understandable why he hates fun because he's trying

838
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: to win games. He's trying to win championships. You just

839
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: hate fun because you're just it's here your DNA. I'm

840
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: advocating for fun on the scoreboard and the did you knows?

841
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 3: I know you are?

842
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: And the circling broncohead and whatever else he was talking.

843
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 2: By the way, the twelfth Man did not come from

844
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. The twelfth Man was originally when

845
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: the University of Minnesota was referring to an opponent, and

846
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: also the University of Iowa.

847
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: That's where it first came from. Sean or Football. A

848
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: couple of really good texts here, and we'll get back

849
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: to the text line on the other side a little

850
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: bit more. But it is realistic. His judgment isn't clouded

851
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: by being fane. You got my text, Yeah, I was

852
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: just saying that number familiar. I agree with those concerns.

853
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: But it is like Bill Maher for me, I either

854
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: completely agree with everything he says.

855
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 3: Or nothing at all. There's really not very many people

856
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: like that, you know. Honestly, me too.

857
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: Every time I hear me, I either completely agree with

858
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: things I say or completely disagree.

859
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: That's an interesting way to describe Bill mar too, by

860
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: the way that me kada, and he has a point,

861
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: because like you'll watch Bill Martin, you like that makes

862
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: total sense, and then you're like, what is this idiot

863
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: talking about?

864
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 3: There's no middle ground with Bill Maher. Ever, No, there isn't.

865
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: I set a clip one time to my wife and

866
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: she was like, why are you sending me bill Mark clips? Like, no,

867
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: I thought he said something interesting here and then and

868
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: then my algorithm of course, showed me all the Bill

869
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: Mark clips.

870
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 3: You're like, oh my god.

871
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I gotta stop doing this. This is

872
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: what I almost posting that on the bald guy person

873
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: in the world.

874
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 4: Yeah. Point.

875
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: I immediately regretted that because I had pretty much like

876
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: an entire week of only Bill Maher in my algorithm.

877
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 3: Anyways, we'll get back to the te like we're gonna

878
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: hear from.

879
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: Sean Payne boenis all that coming up here in just

880
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: a little bit, we'll go over some of the games

881
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: from this last weekend how they might really impact the Broncos.

882
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: Where they win doesn't really matter, but we'll get into

883
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: that coming up in the next hour.
