1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Just truly remarkable as uh yesterday at the Rockies game 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: as they finished off sweeping the Astros for wins in 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: a row. There of course, in San Diego tonight, I 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: don't know if we're going to see a similar situation 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: with a bunch of Rockies fans guys taking their shirts 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: off and swinging around screaming one of us. But maybe 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 1: our next guest can tell us more about that as 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: we head out to the Kailee Common Spirit Health Outline 9 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: and bring on a voice the Rockies, Jack Corrigan. Jack, 10 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: you're on with Dave Logan, Ryan Edwards to Shelby Harris, 11 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: my friend. 12 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: Good to catch up with you. How are you? 13 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 3: I am good, thank you? And we were told by 14 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 3: Rockies personnel that that was the Ryan Edwards fan club. 15 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 4: I don't know if that was or not. 16 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 5: But yeah, you know what that now it makes a 17 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 5: lot of sense to me, Jack swing shirts. 18 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 6: Because they said one of us would changed your tire. 19 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, Yeah it was flail shirts. Then I 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: could get it. 21 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 5: But as side, hey, Jack's talking about that that topic, 22 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 5: when did you first sort of recognize that that group 23 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 5: sitting in the right field stands and is this something 24 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 5: as best you know that is going to be sort 25 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 5: of a constant a course field as the season goes on. 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 6: I don't know. 27 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 3: I mean it was sort of one of those phenomenon, Dave, 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: that just sprang up. It surprised us, of course. The 29 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 3: only other well, we've had two other day games, but 30 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 3: I don't think on Easter Sunday there'd be a bunch 31 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 3: of guys going shirtless in the stands or Opening Day 32 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: we might not have noticed them. And it was a 33 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 3: little chilly on opening days, so it'll be interesting to see. Hey, 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 3: you know they had the bleacher bums and Wrigley. We'll 35 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 3: have the Ryan Edwards fan club in right field and 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 3: we'll see how it goes. 37 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 6: Hey, jach Shall be here here. Just the Rockies are 38 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 6: hot right now? You know this is this is a 39 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 6: feel good story. How how is everybody feeling about this? 40 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 6: Is it optimistic? Is it just waiting for the inevitable 41 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 6: to happen? 42 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 4: Or what's going on? 43 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 3: A Yeah, you know, Shelby and I always love talking 44 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: with you and Dave. You know, with that experience of 45 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 3: being in a professional locker room for a lot of years, 46 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: and I don't think it's phony by any sense of 47 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: the word. I think these guys have put the pass 48 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: behind them and they are just thinking about this year 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: and they are energized by their manager. They're energized by 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: the philosophy that they seem to be adapting on both 51 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 3: sides of the ball. Do they have enough talent? I mean, 52 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: we're going to find that out as the year goes on. 53 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 3: That's what the long baseball season does. But there's a 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: great deal of confidence in that clubhouse, and as we 55 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: all know, that can be a huge force moving somebody forward. 56 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: Let's impressed you the most, especially in the midst of 57 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: this four game streak. 58 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: Is it the timely hitting. 59 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: I was very impressed with the nine walks they drew 60 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: yesterday in that win over the Astros. Is it some 61 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: of the pitching? Of course, the bullpen's been really really good. 62 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: What's impressed you the most? 63 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 4: Well? 64 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: From an offensive side, certainly the contributions to some of 65 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 3: the new guys. 66 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 4: TJ. 67 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 3: Rumfield, even though he's a rookie, he did have all 68 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: those plate appearances for the last two years in Triple A. 69 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 3: He would have been in the big leagues last year 70 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: if he was in a different organization. I like how 71 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: he has gone about his business early on. There's no 72 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: doubt this team and they're still doing too much of it. 73 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: There's no doubt this team struck out way too often 74 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: last year. And nothing kills a rally than the inability 75 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: to at least move guys who are on base with 76 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: a good out. Strikeouts never do anything positive for an offense. 77 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: So I think the approach is better. I like the 78 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: aggressiveness on the basis from a pitching perspective. I just 79 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: think guys like the collaborative nature of the process, if 80 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: you will, I mean, they feel like they have some 81 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: ownership and what they want to do and have a 82 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: coaching staff that is more than willing to define the 83 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: elements that will make them better. And that's the kind 84 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: of response we've seen so far. 85 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 5: You know, Jack had we had Walker montfort on with 86 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 5: us before the home opener, and he talked about, well, 87 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 5: he talked about a lot of things, but he talked 88 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 5: about sort of the plan in the offseason, and he 89 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 5: specifically talked about the hitting and putting guys on base 90 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 5: and as you said, being more aggressive, trying to create 91 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 5: opportunities to score runs. But I want to ask you, 92 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 5: in terms of the starting pitching with the exception of Freeland. 93 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 5: I mean there's some there's some new faces there, and 94 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 5: I want to I want to ask, do you think 95 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 5: think what two or three qualities were the Rockies front 96 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 5: office people looking for in terms of the veterans that 97 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 5: they brought on the staff. 98 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 4: And I mean other than a we've got. 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 5: Guys that are willing to come here to Denver and 100 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 5: accept the challenge of pitching a course field. 101 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that obviously, when you're talking about acquiring 102 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: veteran pitching help, there has to be some either because 103 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 3: of their circumstances or their interests, like a Michael Lorenzen 104 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 3: who is intrigued about the idea of trying to solid 105 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: corpse field. 106 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: And we've seen. 107 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 3: In Michael's first two starts both, you know, the difficult 108 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 3: opening day when he gives up nine runs in three 109 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: innings and then the way he pitched yesterday against a 110 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: hot Houston lineup where he kept them in control. And 111 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 3: I think all three guys won't saw a team ton 112 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,559 Speaker 3: of once. But Jose is going to be back soon 113 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 3: after the hamstring issue. I think all three guys, first 114 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: of all, are strike throwers, and secondly, because of their 115 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: experience Hexagana was one of the better pitchers for a 116 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: lot of years in Japan, So they have an understanding, 117 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 3: a more veteran approach on how to keep the Rockies 118 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 3: and ballgames. And when you had a starting rotation last year, 119 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: for example, guys that gave up more first inning runs 120 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: than any other team in baseball, that makes it hard 121 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 3: on a game in and game out basis for your 122 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: offense to feel like they can have success. So those 123 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: guys with a track record of keeping their teams in games, 124 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 3: I think was the approach that Pauldy, Bodesta and Josh 125 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: Burns had in acquiring that trio of veterans to go 126 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 3: along with Freelan and Feltner. 127 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: Well, the point that you were making there and sort 128 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: of to drive it home a little bit, and something 129 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: Walker Momford talked to us about is that we don't 130 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: to throw strikes, like simply put. And it's a fascinating 131 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: point because you'd say, well, shouldn't pitchers always want to 132 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: throw strikes? But that's just I guess not Historically what 133 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: this pitching staff has been asked to do is that 134 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: what I have an understanding here. 135 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: Well, I think I mean, yes, you want to throw strikes. 136 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: You want to get ahead. I mean, how many times 137 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: have we seen a lead off walk lead to a 138 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: big inning for a team. I think the point is 139 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: you want to put yourself as a pitcher in position 140 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: where the hitter is a little bit more around the 141 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 3: defensive whether. I mean, you can look at the stats 142 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: and guys, you know, when it's an O two count 143 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: in baseball, including all the good hitters, I mean, the 144 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: cumulative batting average is down around a buck and a half, 145 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: you know, So the idea of get ahead is a 146 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: good thing. Less traffic and the bases, it still means 147 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: you've got to throw quality strikes. I mean, you're not 148 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: throwing it right down the middle of the play, you're 149 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: and Chase Snowlander is a good example of that. Last 150 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: year he threw strikes, they just weren't very good strikes. 151 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: This year a much better game plan in terms of 152 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 3: how to use his pitches effectively. 153 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 6: Hey, my last question here is pretty much what this 154 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 6: newfound success that the Rockies have had, does that change 155 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 6: to the expectations that they have for the season. Obviously, 156 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 6: we when we talked to Walker Montfort, it was well, 157 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 6: but like, let's just play and see we're already got 158 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 6: We already have six wins. And I know it's a 159 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 6: long season, we already have six wins and that's a way, 160 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,599 Speaker 6: you know, way quicker time to get there than it 161 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 6: what took last year. So what I guess all the 162 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 6: expectations now this team, since they've already blown expectations of 163 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 6: last year out the water. So now what what is 164 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 6: what is his team about this year? 165 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: Well, the good thing, you know, baseball from a historical perspective, Shelby, 166 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: that's held through pretty much for the one hundred and 167 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: twenty five plus years in Major League Baseball. See where 168 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: a team is at the quarter pole, to use a 169 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: horse racing term, be forty games in, you know, and 170 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: now you've started to see a little bit of a rhythm, 171 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 3: a consistency or an inconsistency. That's probably going to be 172 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 3: your challenge for the rest of the year. And I 173 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: mean referencing last year wasn't quite the quarter pole, but 174 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 3: I mean they were five and twenty five. I mean 175 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: they knew they were already sunk. This year, I think 176 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 3: it's hey, we like what we're doing. We're going to 177 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: keep grinding a way and if hey come June we're 178 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 3: still in that five hundred range. Well, okay, let's see 179 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: where we can go. If not, you're still learning and 180 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: building from the struggles over the last couple of years. 181 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: All right, My last one here is Jimmy Hergy going 182 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: tonight is starting. It's expected to be a bullpen kind 183 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: of game. What does that mean to you? I mean especially, 184 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean we saw that, I guess the second game 185 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: of the Philly series. So is it kind of like 186 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: that as they're taking on Randy Basquez and the Padres. 187 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you're you're without Keen Tana, So how 188 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: are you going to handle it? Are you going to 189 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 3: throw Sensitela or Dolander in there for a spot start, 190 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 3: or are you going to go with the opener approach? 191 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 3: Based on their lineups? They went with Bernardino against the Phillies, 192 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: get seized the lefty out there, and you had Schwarber 193 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 3: and Harper at the top of the lineup tonight, all 194 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: those good right handed hitters for San Diego. So you're 195 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: going to put You're gonna put Jimmy in, who has 196 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 3: been as consistent as any of the Rockies relievers both 197 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 3: seasons that he's been in Purple you know last year 198 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: and so far this year, and you've keep a Chase 199 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 3: Nowlander in that same routine he's in now. He'll ge 200 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: get the bulk of the innings tonight, and if he 201 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 3: pitches like he did against the Phillies, then it helps 202 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 3: keep the Rockies in the game. And you're still not 203 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: putting the pressure on him and say, hey, you're back 204 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 3: in the rotation. 205 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 4: You gotta do this. 206 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 3: I think they're letting him grow both physically and mentally 207 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: by being in that role, and right now, through a 208 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: couple of efforts, it looks like a good plan. 209 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: Certainly does. 210 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: Jack always appreciate the time, my friend looking forward to 211 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: the call tonight. 212 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: Let's keep this thing going.

I mean no, 241 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: I'm just kidding.

Can neither confirm nor deny. Good 248 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: stuff there from Jack and you know, to the bullpen. 249 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: The bullpen has actually been one of the more impressive 250 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: things here too. And I did like what he was 251 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: talking about the very end, about the plan for guys. 252 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's been this way, but there 253 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: are times in recent history with the Rockies it it 254 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: kind of felt a little haphazard, you know, the way 255 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: they use guys, the way they would. 256 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: The plan for them, the way they were utilized. 257 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: I mean, even the specific thing where he's saying, hey, 258 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: you had a couple of righties, a couple of left 259 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: handed hitters for the Phillies to the top of their 260 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: their their lineup with Schwarber and with Turner, So we're 261 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: gonna go with the lefty tonight, and then hey, tonight 262 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: you have to you have some righties. 263 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: So we're gonna go with our rity. We're not gonna 264 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 2: do the same thing where we're going. 265 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep it consistent in what their roles are 266 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: going to be. We're gonna do a little bit matchup based. 267 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: I just I like that there seems to be a 268 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: little bit more defined plan for these players. 269 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 5: I think anytime you lose to the level of the 270 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 5: Rockies have lost the last handful of years, then you're 271 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 5: open to second guessing. You're gonna have people's second guests. 272 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 5: You on everything right. When you think of think of 273 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 5: the Broncos, and the kind of year they had. They 274 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 5: were fourteen and three, beat Buffalo fifteen and three, got 275 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 5: to the AFC Championship game. There because they won fifteen 276 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 5: games and they were in the midst of a lengthy 277 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 5: winning streak, there's less opportunity for people like us in 278 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 5: the media to second guess Sean about anything. And he responded, 279 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 5: if he thought something he didn't want to get into, 280 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 5: he'd just cut you off. And he can do that 281 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 5: because they were fourteen to three, they won the AFC West, 282 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 5: They're a number one. 283 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: Seed in the AFC. 284 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 5: So I think conversely with the Rockies, they've been so 285 00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 5: bad that their second guest on virtually everything. So I 286 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 5: like the idea that maybe this year they're willing to 287 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 5: sort of mix and match and do maybe a couple 288 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 5: of unconventional things by by baseball standards, old school baseball. 289 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean, I'm just I'm thrilled with the 290 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 5: way that they've competed. Their pitchers have been good. You know, 291 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 5: they had the bad outing and the home opener, but 292 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 5: other than that, I mean, especially at Corsefield, the staff, 293 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 5: both the starters and the bullpen have been pretty damn good. 294 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 4: For pitching here, in Denver. 295 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 6: I just want to see some guys, not just guys. 296 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 6: I want to see fans start showing up again. I 297 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 6: know early, Oh they will, I know, And that's the thing. 298 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 6: I just want to I just want to see it 299 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 6: because obviously you heard all the stories about attendance being 300 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 6: low other than an opening day, and you know obviously 301 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 6: that's because you get them thinking of, oh, this is 302 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 6: the normal, same old Rockies, you know what I mean. 303 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 6: After you have a couple of years like that, it's 304 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 6: hard to make people want to come out for you. 305 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 6: But I just can't wait to see. You know, I 306 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 6: predicted about seventy eighty wins and then you know, you 307 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 6: guys called me crazy about that. But if they can 308 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 6: get that, then I think you'll see downtown Denver around 309 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 6: Ballpark lively and I and I can't wait to see it. 310 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 6: And we've been waiting on that for a long time. 311 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 6: And I think the fans, the fans of his team, 312 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 6: deserve it, and so it's exciting. It's encouraging to see 313 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 6: them start off, but we got one hundred and fifty 314 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 6: games more. 315 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: I get it, and I got a little over my 316 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: skis yesterday. They've had to put the brakes on me 317 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: a little bit because I was like, you know, they're 318 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: second in the division. They're only three games off of 319 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: the Rodgers side. 320 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 4: Now I know, I'm excited. 321 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: So today and I probably doing this to myself, but 322 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking at MLB power rankings like. 323 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 2: Historically over the last few years, I have no. 324 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: Reason whatsoever to look at them because the Rocky is 325 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna be thirtieth, right, But now got some optimism thinking 326 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: about the Rocky second in the division. They're sick since six, 327 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: they've got better records than a lot of baseball teams. 328 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: Guess where they're at. And the most the two most 329 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: recent MLB Power. 330 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 4: Rankings probably probably. 331 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: Twelve thirtieth, right, they're still thirtieth. 332 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 4: They well, don't look at them. 333 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 6: And that's just the bias of how bad they've been. 334 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 6: That's right in the past. And and that's kind of 335 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 6: what the problem is with these power rankings is they're 336 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 6: supposed to be from year to year. You kind of 337 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 6: have to eliminate the bias from years past. But we 338 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 6: all know that that doesn't happen. And so a team 339 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 6: at six and six saying that that the thirtieth, it's 340 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 6: not the worst team in baseball. 341 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 4: It's the worst teams. 342 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: Baseball. 343 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 6: It's like, and they've beaten and the people they've beaten. 344 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: They've been the ceremonial like thirtieth place team for the 345 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: last three plus years. But the thing about it is 346 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: is like right now, as you said, you would hope 347 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: that they would eliminate of what was the past. We 348 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: are what we are now. But a lot of the 349 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: write ups, this was ESPN and the Athletic the ones 350 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: I was looking at the rite ups were it's early 351 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: in the season, like we're gonna see I don't think 352 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: this is a good team, but hey, good for them. 353 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: They got to move. 354 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 6: Them up and then move them back down. 355 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 2: That's what it feels like, you know what I mean, 356 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 2: Like you don't have. 357 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 6: To just keep them at thirty because you're waited you 358 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 6: think the inevitable is going to happen, you know what 359 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 6: I mean? Like you have to go off of the tape, 360 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 6: and the tape shows that Rockets are six and six, 361 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 6: and it's like a Cubs team that's least. There's a 362 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 6: lot of other teams that are less than that that 363 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 6: at this time should be ranked lower than a. 364 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: Rocket Who're gonna be taking on the Padres. Cover starts 365 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: at seven o'clock, first pitch at seven forty. You know, 366 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: I was thinking about the concept of regression today when 367 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: it comes to specifically like the Broncos or just NFL teams. 368 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: And yeah, the Broncos last year, as you mentioned earlier, Dave, 369 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: I mean they have fourteen fourteen and three in the 370 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: regular season, fifteen wins overall. Maybe some people think they're 371 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: sort of prime for a bit of a regression. I 372 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: think overall record could ultimately be something along those lines. 373 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: But how does a team be one thing next year 374 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: and maybe stave off some of that aggression regression. I 375 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: think about Washington from a couple of years ago, went 376 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship game. In the very next year, 377 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: they were out of the playoffs altogether. 378 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, injuries have a large say in terms 379 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,479 Speaker 5: of sort of how the season goes depending on who 380 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 5: gets hurt. But most teams cannot afford to lose two 381 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 5: or three, three or four key guys. Washington lost Jaden 382 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 5: Daniels quarterback, and I don't know that the supporting cast 383 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 5: in Washington, even after they won the West and wound 384 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 5: up playing in the NFC championship game was as good 385 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 5: as what they have here in Denver. That would be 386 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 5: the first thing. But I think, you know, the schedule 387 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 5: is going to be tougher. 388 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 4: I mean, I think the. 389 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 5: It's not going to be just smooth sailing in twenty 390 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 5: twenty six. It just never is in the NFL. You're 391 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 5: going to have, you know, you're going to have some 392 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 5: games you play really well. Maybe down the stretch you 393 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 5: do something extraordinary, you pull a game out the next week, 394 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 5: maybe maybe you don't. 395 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 4: It's gonna the season. 396 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 5: Is a marathon and you have to find ways to 397 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 5: just simply survive. And I mean, I think this is 398 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 5: a really good football team that is capable capable of 399 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 5: going right back to where they were last year and 400 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 5: maybe even a step further. But it will not be 401 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 5: smooth sailing in twenty twenty six, only because I've just 402 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 5: seen too many years in the NFL with too many 403 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 5: good teams and crazy things happen. You just have to 404 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 5: be able to withstand it, to weather it, and then 405 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 5: to get back on track. 406 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 6: Well being you know a part of this kind of 407 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 6: because I just look back at my time in Cleveland 408 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty three, one eleven and six. Next year 409 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 6: we went three and fourteen. You know, so you're going 410 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 6: from the playoffs and you pretty much bring back almost 411 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 6: the same team and you start falling apart. And that 412 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 6: sometimes to be the problem is because the idea that 413 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 6: you're just going to get back there regardless, you know 414 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 6: what I mean, like, regardless of you know, we have 415 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 6: the same guys, we have the talent from last year. 416 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 6: We're just going to go back and you know, recreate 417 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 6: what we did last year. 418 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 2: About team mentality, Yeah. 419 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 6: Sometimes it's some team mentality about like in Cleveland that year, 420 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 6: we're like, all right, we have the best defense in 421 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 6: the league. And so in twenty twenty four we brought 422 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 6: back on the same guys. We're like, we're going to 423 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 6: have the best defensive the league. And I don't think 424 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 6: necessarily we all put the work in to be the 425 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 6: best defensive league. And I think what I'm what more 426 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 6: that is saying is it's a year to year league. 427 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 6: It's a year to year league. You got to bring 428 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 6: it every year. And I think the biggest example that 429 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 6: of the Chiefs. The Chiefs have found ways to reinvent 430 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 6: themselves every year, even on years when people say they're 431 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 6: not going to be very good, and so it's all 432 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 6: about just trying to find new ways to reinvent yourself, 433 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 6: even if you do bring back some of the same people, 434 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 6: but everybody else is changing. There's new coaches everywhere, there's 435 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 6: new players and different teams, and so that one score 436 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 6: game from the year before, it can end up being 437 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 6: a fourteen point loss if you don't put the work in. 438 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 6: And I see that happens a lot more than it doesn't. 439 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 6: And so that's why you do see so many teams 440 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 6: be good one year, fall off the next and vice versa, 441 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 6: because everyone knows what a bad team looks like. 442 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: So is that leadership? Is that coaching? Like where does 443 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: that come from the market? 444 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 6: I would say it's partly a little bit of leadership, 445 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 6: But honestly, I just think that's kind of how the 446 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 6: new age athlete thinks, you know what I mean, Like, oh, 447 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 6: we has a sense I'm sure day deals with if 448 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 6: people go to Cherry Creek and automatically think they're going 449 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 6: to be good, but you don't realize the work you 450 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 6: have to put in to be good, Like that is 451 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 6: that work in the offseason, the summer runs all that 452 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 6: that is what makes you great during the year. If 453 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 6: you're trying to get to the season and already, oh, 454 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 6: let me catch up, you're never going to be able 455 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 6: to and so that work has to be put in 456 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 6: in order to be successful. 457 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. Again, I think one of the pluses for bringing 458 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 5: back as many guys as they did, like they brought 459 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 5: back more than any other team in the NFL. Re 460 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 5: signed brought guys back ninety three percent, I think, or thereabouts. 461 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 5: One of the advantages when you do that and he 462 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 5: had the kind of season he had last year, is 463 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 5: those guys know what that felt like. So they know 464 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 5: how they worked last season. They'll be reminded. I'm sure 465 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 5: by the coaching staff. You know, they know how they grinded. 466 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 5: I wouldn't think this was a This seems like I'm 467 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 5: mature team to me, So I don't know that you 468 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 5: have to get their attention too many times in training camp. 469 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 5: Maybe they'll be an off day in terms of practice. 470 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 5: You stop the practice, remind guys, hey, listen, this doesn't 471 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 5: happen just because we show up. 472 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 4: This isn't last year. This is a new year. 473 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 5: But I don't think these guys, these guys seem to be. 474 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 4: A pretty mature team in that regard. 475 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 5: So yeah, I think by bringing guys back that went 476 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 5: through it and knows how it felt and wants some 477 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 5: more of it, then I think the natural progression is 478 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 5: to think, you know, we can. 479 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 4: We can. 480 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 5: You might not have exactly the same record, but the 481 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 5: point of it is to be healthy and to have 482 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 5: a home game, home field advantage if possible, and then 483 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 5: you take your shot in the playoffs, and this team's capable. 484 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: There was a stat out a couple of days ago 485 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: that I thought was is offensive snaps with the lead 486 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: last season, So the Patriots were the number one team 487 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL with them the amount of offensive snaps 488 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: with the lead in games five and seventy. 489 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 4: Eight, Broncos is going to be way down the list, pretty. 490 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: Far down the list. So five seventy eights to number one. 491 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: Here Jets, by comparison were the worst, what sixty six. 492 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 6: So Broncos probably two seventy eight. 493 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: Higher hired that are do you want to take a 494 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: guest day or you just want to sell the Patriots. 495 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: Patriots were five seventy eight, I would say the Broncos. 496 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 4: There there were. 497 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 5: You know, the Raiders game, so they had there were 498 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 5: games that they had. 499 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 4: I'm going to say three ninety, you're close four to 500 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 4: thirteen thirteen? 501 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so, But but. 502 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 4: I was so, which which which? 503 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 5: Not that it really matters for anybody other than us, 504 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 5: but which which one? I can tell you which one 505 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 5: I'd rather have? Broncos would Yeah, me too, so would I. 506 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 5: Here here's what I would worry about if I'm Mike Vrabel. 507 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 5: He's got a good team. They went to the Super Bowl, 508 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 5: got a young quarterback. I think it's going to be 509 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 5: a really good player at as. They'll add some pieces 510 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 5: here soon, I think, no pun intended. But but that 511 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 5: team didn't have to come from behind in the season 512 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 5: too many times. They didn't have They didn't have the 513 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 5: clutch gene. Because they didn't, it wasn't required. And I 514 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 5: think most seasons in the NFL, the clutch gene is required, 515 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 5: even for really good teams. Maybe not as many as 516 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 5: the Broncos had last year, but most teams, even really 517 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 5: good teams, four games, you're going to have to say, Okay, 518 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 5: we're down six in the fourth with five minutes to go, 519 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 5: and we're on the minus seventeen. We got to put 520 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 5: together an eighty three year touchdown dract. I mean, you've 521 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 5: got to have the ability to win games like that. 522 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 5: The Broncos clearly have it, and they're bringing everybody. 523 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 4: Back, so I'm not I'd rather be them. 524 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 6: The New England, and especially since the Broncos trenches are entrenched, 525 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 6: you know what I mean, they have guys you like that. No, 526 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 6: so they have guys on the O line and D line, 527 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 6: and it's other than JFM. That's really the only starter 528 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 6: that's getting switched out now. The Patriots. The O line 529 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 6: was a struggle at the end of the year, so 530 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 6: they're going to have to figure out different ways. And 531 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 6: so I'm that right there, just O line in the 532 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 6: trench play. You got to put Denver ahead of a 533 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 6: lot of teams because they literally are bringing back all 534 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 6: five offensive linemen, they're bringing back most of the defensive 535 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 6: lineman other than obviously JFM was a huge contributor. But 536 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 6: you still have some guys there. So there isn't a 537 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 6: really good spot right now, a very good spot, which 538 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 6: I still to this day I can't believe it because 539 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 6: of how bad they were supposed to be a couple 540 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 6: of years ago, everyone kept talking about the dead money 541 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 6: from Russe Wilson and so they did it all before that, 542 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 6: and they're in a great spot now and then now 543 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 6: they can be considered that one of the best rosters 544 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 6: of NFL. 545 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 2: No, I'm with you. 546 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: Then I thought the same thing when I saw four 547 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: thirteen versus five seventys, Like you're talking about over one 548 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty different snaps. There, same record fourteen and three, 549 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: but one hundred and sixty different snaps. And it's not 550 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: to say that the Patriots had everything easy. They did 551 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 1: have the easiest strength of schedule as we know, but 552 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: they won't this year. 553 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 2: But they won't this. 554 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: Year, and there becomes this expectation that we just can 555 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: do it this way because we are this is who 556 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: we are. We have to the Super Bowl, and boy, 557 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: we led the league and snaps with the lead, and 558 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: that's just teams just have fallen apart around us. The 559 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: Broncos didn't have that path, Like I know that they 560 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: ended up having a relatively weak strength of schedule, but 561 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: they and maybe some of the adversity they created for themselves, 562 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: but the fact is they still overcame it, which is valuable. 563 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 6: Well, let's not forgod, let's not forget that they're a 564 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 6: team that had to deal with injuries on and off, 565 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 6: and they had a big injury at the biggest time 566 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 6: of the year. And so this is a team. If 567 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 6: you're thinking that bow Knicks was really still around, you 568 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 6: could be talking about either a Super Bowl loser or 569 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 6: Super Bowl winner, and that right there put some above everybody. 570 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: Broncos Country tonight coming at the top of the hours, 571 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: we got Rockies baseball coming up at seven o'clock. Bench 572 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: of an all right, sliding into studio high been, what's 573 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: going on? 574 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 3: Well? 575 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 5: That much? 576 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: Nice a song there, Leon Bridges smooth sailing. Hopefully you 577 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: have a more smooth sailing tonight for the rock Is 578 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: Why are you smiling? 579 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 6: I just can't have a smile on my face and 580 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 6: be happy. 581 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 2: No, you can't. 582 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: Okay, No, cryptic's smiling is fine.

Sorry, sorry, wow, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry, 601 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 5: I stay tuned. Go ahead, Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry. 602 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 5: Can I please please continue? 603 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: Oh? Assuming assuming the Broncos stay of pick sixty two, 604 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: are you expecting the team to draft the player that 605 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: is a major contributor in your one I'm actually proud 606 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: of Broncos Country. 607 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: Sixty seven percent say no, so. 608 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 4: Because they because they've got a good team. Well, where 609 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 4: where you have? Where are they coming in? And who's 610 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 4: going to be? 611 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 5: As Shelby said earlier the show, draft anybody you want to. 612 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 4: I mean you can't. You can't say, well, give me 613 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 4: this guy. 614 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 5: Who's the fourth overall draft choice, but draft anybody that's 615 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 5: going to be available in the sixty five ish region 616 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 5: and tell me what position that player would be, and 617 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 5: and tell me he'd come in and start where. 618 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: But Broncos Country can be a little unrealistic. I think 619 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: a lot of fan bases can be unrealistic. 620 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 4: Sixty five percent said no, I know, so they're being realistic. 621 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: Said yes, that's. 622 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 5: Why you don't do math. Leave me the math, right, 623 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 5: we don't have one hundred and five percent poles. 624 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 6: We don't. Okay, you know what I mean. 625 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 7: I'm here for you, silent your honor. 626 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, what position would you say? 627 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 2: I think tight end would be the one that everybody 628 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 2: you think it. 629 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 5: Tight end in sixty sixty two minute start on Ingram 630 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 5: major contributor. 631 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 7: So I think there's three positions where you'd get contributions. 632 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 7: Tight end might be one you running back and inside back, 633 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 7: or be the others. 634 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 6: I was gonna say inside backer. 635 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 7: If Rodriguez is there, you sprint to the podium to 636 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 7: throw that car at the at the commissioner. 637 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 6: Yeah. But then obviously it just depends. Like I said 638 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 6: earlier in the show, you know you don't want to 639 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 6: reach for a running back at that position though, and 640 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 6: so you got to go off of what you think 641 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 6: is worth the value at that point. 642 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 4: The second kid from Notre Dame will not be there, 643 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 4: will he? Price? First? 644 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 6: Early second? 645 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 7: The guys I want to Rodriguez in price, and I'm 646 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 7: not sure the one I'm going to be there, but 647 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 7: with 648 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 6: This draft having the off ball line linebackers that they 649 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 6: do have, you have to go grab one like early
