1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Obviously, we're getting geared up for an AFC championship game

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday five six six nine zeros o

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: kwa comma spirital text line. We're also getting geared up

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: for a national championship tonight. We'll do our picks at

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: five point thirty officially.

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: On that.

7
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: You want to hear a fun kind of banana stat

8
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Like if I would have told you this stat, I

9
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: don't think you would be thinking it was these two quarterbacks.

10
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: Bonix was three for four for eighty four yards and

11
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: two touchdowns on d passing twenty or more air yards.

12
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was zero for nine for two interceptions. I mean,

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: if you want a bit of a microcosm of what

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: the game ended up being, the Broncos when they did

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: go to that, well, they were very successful.

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: When Josh Allen went to it, he got nothing.

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: You said he was three for three and passes over

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: twenty yards.

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: Three for four for eighty four yards and two touchdowns

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: and passes free it.

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: Passes that are in the air over twenty correct. I'm

22
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: trying to think of. You have the Mems touchdown, you

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 3: have little Jordan Humphrey touchdown.

24
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 4: That Corland Sutton dagger might have been slightly twenty three yarder.

25
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, that you talked about another big play. Cool,

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 3: that's third, that's third and eleven. Did Orlowski did a

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: breakdown of that. He said, you think thought.

28
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: It was a no look pass. I think it was

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: too okay, see you also too. Yeah. Here here's here's outside.

30
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: He was incredible.

31
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: Nicks in the shotgun, four man rush, Nix in the pocket,

32
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: throws the ball middle of the field.

33
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 2: He's got Sutton.

34
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: Sutton goes down to make sure he gets it, has it, and.

35
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: It's a first down at the.

36
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: Bill's forty yard line, third and eleven, a gain of

37
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: twenty three. Benford on the coverage. Yeah, that because if

38
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: you I'm trying to think exactly there there were There

39
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: was more than two minutes left I believe at that point.

40
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: But if you if if that's an incomplete pass, fourth

41
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: and eleven, you're not going to go for it at

42
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: that point. You've got your your timeouts. Uh, but but

43
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: you're still down four. You're gonna have to pun it

44
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: and then find a way to get them stopped.

45
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: You know it. Just I mean that.

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: That play had to happen, and it did, and that's

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: what we've been saying the entire year for this Broncos team. Man,

48
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: if they didn't have that play, then this would have Yeah,

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: but they did, and they've done that how many times

50
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: this season?

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: That's that's not by luck? No, not at all.

52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just wonder, sorry, but how much of that

53
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: luck is authored by Bo Nix's mojo and his energy?

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: Right?

55
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: And so does Jared Steadham step into that role? Stead

56
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: step into that role and have that same sort of

57
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: magic and that luck, so to speak, in those moments

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 4: where these things seem to just ask a good.

59
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: Question, it's a fantastic question.

60
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: And I mean you sort of hope that the team

61
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: will rally around the idea of that, Like, even if

62
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: it's not Bo out there, the team will support that idea.

63
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: Is that possible? Absolutely.

64
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's not gonna happen. I'm saying, you know,

65
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: that's a question mark. But I think that you know

66
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 4: the chemistry of a team and the starting quarterback out there,

67
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: I mean, Jared Sidham is part of every day at

68
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: that facility. He's part of the preparation, He's in every meeting,

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 4: he knows everybody, he's out on the practice field. These

70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: guys use as a sorry move as a unit, and

71
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: so when they go out there on Sunday, there's only

72
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: eleven guys out there, but they are a product of

73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: the entire fifty three man roster and what they do

74
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 4: on a daily basis to foster the sort of confidence

75
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 4: in those moments. And I think Jared Sidham can you know,

76
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: pick up where bo left off and kind of facilitate

77
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: the same sort of magic.

78
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Shaw was asked yesterday if they're gonna have to truncate

79
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: the playbook for Jared's sidem Here's what he said.

80
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 5: I don't believe in your opening statement. I understand where

81
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: it's coming from. Historically speaking, all bets weren't off with Hotstettler.

82
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 5: They weren't off in Philly when we lost breeze at

83
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 5: the mid season against the Rams and Bridgewater won five

84
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 5: in a row, all bets be off. They weren't off

85
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 5: for Houston this year when Milt came in, and I

86
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: don't know, I don't know if he lost the game.

87
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: And so now I think to your second question, you're

88
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 5: dead on. I think the plans always got to be

89
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 5: built around the type and the skill set of the players.

90
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 5: You're playing with and so are there certain things that

91
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: Bo does differently than Steady. Absolutely, and that's where that's

92
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 5: where the work begins tonight.

93
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: And he shared a little bit.

94
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: Of a story during the presser as well about how

95
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Jared Sinham has really been challenging, Like you wouldn't know

96
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: this because it's not like you ever talked about. This

97
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: is a really sometimes it's frustrating to VJ because he's

98
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: really been difficult for that defense sometimes to defend.

99
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 4: Now.

100
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're dressing this up a little

101
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: bit here. Certainly you want to build up everybody's confidence

102
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: that hey, we're not only gonna be fine, we're gonna

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: be really good. But also there's a little bit of that. Okay, well,

104
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. He keeps saying all these nice things

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: like listen, he was asked about why he's so confident

106
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: in Jerse Tendim. Here's what he said.

107
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 5: Started with our evaluation in New Orleans him. You know,

108
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 5: he was a target for us in the draft. That

109
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 5: doesn't that doesn't really mean anything other than we we

110
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: liked this player coming out. I know how he was

111
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 5: coached in New England. I know exactly how he was

112
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 5: coached in New England, and and then I know how

113
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 5: McDaniels felt about him when he brought him from New

114
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 5: England to Vegas, and then I know reports on how

115
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: he played, and then we saw him play real time,

116
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 5: and then but ultimately, ultimately, to answer your question, it's

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 5: our three years here, in our three years watching him

118
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 5: day in and day out.

119
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: How how how big a deal is that Dave being

120
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: there in a system for three years?

121
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: Oh? I think it's it's big.

122
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: It's not like he just got here this year and

123
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: it's been the backup quarterback.

124
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: So even though he has been taking snaps in game.

125
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: Sure you still have a much more clear understanding of

126
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: the system, of the concepts, of the cadence of I

127
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: mean you also will know what Sean likes to do

128
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 3: and the rhythm of the play call, and so I

129
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: don't think the mental part of the game is going

130
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: to be an issue at all for Jared. Like Nate

131
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: said earlier, I mean, there may be some things and

132
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: Sean Payton just said it too. There are probably some

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: things that jaredt does, let's just say, differently than Bo,

134
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: maybe better. Some things that Bo does differently, maybe better

135
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: than Jared as well. It's up to Sean and the

136
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: offensive staff to sort of put that game plan together

137
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: to take advantage of some of the things that they

138
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: like in Jared's game. What would those be His ability

139
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: to drive the ball into the middle of the field.

140
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 3: I would think that New England should be aware of.

141
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: You know, the Broncos will use the middle of the field,

142
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit more than they have. He also

143
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 3: can run the boot game. He's He's a good enough

144
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: I don't think he's as athletic as Bo, but he's

145
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: a good enough athlete that the boot game to slow

146
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: that rush down and change the launch point. That could

147
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: be part of what the Broncos do as well.

148
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe not the designed runs for Jarrett, at least

149
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: not as many. But I think there will be things

150
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: that jareded does better than Bo. You know, there's things

151
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: that Bo does better than Jarrett. That's there's the reason

152
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 4: why they're both on the roster, and there's the reason

153
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: why they were competing in camp a couple of years ago. Now,

154
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: I know Bo wanted out. He's the future of the franchise,

155
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 4: but Jared Stidham is no slouch and he to me

156
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: as a receiver he throws a catchable looking ball, a

157
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: really nice tight spiral with some nice pace to it.

158
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: He can take it off, so some off of the

159
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: ball on short, shorter passes something both struggle to do

160
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: a little bit. Bo kind of just whips it in

161
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 4: there a lot. You know, the Broncos have had some

162
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: problems with drops. Maybe both throws too hard sometimes. I

163
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: think that's you know, a young quarterback can do that.

164
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: So will Jared Stidham be able to kind of place

165
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: the ball in ways that allow these guys to get

166
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: yards after the catch and you know, before they're coming

167
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: out of the break and lands right in the bread basket.

168
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: We hope so, But I think Jared Stidham is up

169
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: for the challenge.

170
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: On the KA commis Spirit Health text line five six

171
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: six nine zero. Hey guys, thank you for the show today.

172
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: I've listened to a couple of other shows and it's

173
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: all doom and gloom. I know the knickt injury is

174
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: a bummer, but we're in the EFC Championship game. This

175
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: week should be fun. Thank you for the positivity and fun.

176
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Joe and Parker, thank you. Joe appreciate that. How can

177
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: you be doing and gloomy right now.

178
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: I mean, this is fifty three guys on this roster,

179
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: plus sixteen on the practice squad, plus a bunch of coaches,

180
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: plus a bunch of support staff, a tire organization and

181
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 4: fan base that's been behind this moment. Now one guy

182
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: can't go, and we're gonna sit down and cry about it.

183
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 2: Well, such as one guy.

184
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: He is one man. He's a very important guy. We

185
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: love bo Nicks. He's an integral part of this team.

186
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 4: He's a quarterback. But he is one man. And the

187
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 4: rest of the men around him, who believed in him

188
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 4: as their leader and who still do, want to honor that,

189
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 4: and the guy behind him is imminently capable of doing so.

190
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be fine.

191
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Let me ask they, Dave, because Diana Rasidi said this

192
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: earlier this morning, said that the before the Broncos gave

193
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: Jared's Sidham a contract extension and resigned him, the Patriots

194
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: made a very strong play to bring him into backup

195
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: Drake May this year, like that was going to be

196
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: their their backup plan. It was gonna be Jared's Sidam.

197
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: Now he ought to stay here, which is very cool.

198
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen that now with Sam Ellinger too.

199
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean that he opts to stick around here, and

200
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: certainly there are people that are like what the Broncos

201
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: are building here with Sean Payton. But the familiarity with

202
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, I mean that kind of goes both ways

203
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. Do you think that has any impact

204
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: whatsoever McDaniel's awareness of what Jared Sidam is Simultaneously, maybe

205
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: I guess Jared Sidam's awareness of what Josh likes to do.

206
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: M no to the second part. No, And I think

207
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: probably I would lean no to the first part as well.

208
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: Does does Josh McDaniels know because he coached Stiddy, does

209
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: he know sort of what he likes to do? And

210
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: yes he does, and all that you know, all of

211
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: that knowledge on both sides will be factored into the

212
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: game plan. But once that thing starts, you know, all

213
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: that stuff flies out the windows. So I don't think

214
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: that's a big deal that McDaniels coach Tam. He'll you know,

215
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: quarterbacks just like any other position in the NFL. When

216
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: you when you're looking to stop a wide receiver, you know,

217
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: what kind of release does he like to get? Does

218
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 3: he uses hands?

219
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 2: A lot. Does he have the quickness to get off press.

220
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean, all receivers have things that they're really good

221
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 3: at and things that they're not good at, and defenses

222
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: try to take the things that are not good at

223
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: and make them big big in a game. Quarterbacks are

224
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: the same thing. You know, Quarterbacks don't like guys in

225
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: their feet around their feet in the middle of the pocket.

226
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 3: Some quarterbacks tend to get out of the pocket a

227
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: little bit too soon. Stid. He hasn't played the last

228
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: two years, so anything that he did or didn't do

229
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: with McDaniels, whether in New England or or Las Vegas,

230
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: I think probably would not be applicable because you don't

231
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: have any film on this guy except in the preseason

232
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: the last two years.

233
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, any weakness he had five years ago, he's been

234
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 4: working on that. That's what all professionals do and every

235
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: game ends up taking on a life of its own.

236
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: And it's just like that stat you pointed out with

237
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 4: Josh Allen going deep versus bow Nicks going deep. You

238
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: would have thought going into the game would have been

239
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 4: the opposite. Yeah, I've had of read that statue right

240
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 4: like after the game, like we want bow to throw deep,

241
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 4: and we want to prevent Josh fuam throw deep because

242
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: every time he does he gashes us.

243
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: But I would have said, who guess who these stats

244
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: belong to. You would have been like, well, I mean,

245
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's pretty good at that, right, But the moment,

246
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, the narratives don't win football games.

247
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: That's right.

248
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 4: You got to go out there and do it.

249
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: Well said, somebody really likes your point about it's a

250
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: team game and from micro RS's Nate spot on, brother,

251
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: it's a team in Broncos country.

252
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: That's right, that's good. Somebody says, I'm worried about Sidham

253
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: taking sacks. Why.

254
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: I mean, if you get us a couple of sacks,

255
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 4: not the end of the world. And let's think about

256
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 4: it in this context.

257
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: Bo is so.

258
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: Geeked up to not take a sack. And sometimes you know,

259
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 4: that's good, it's great, But sometimes you'll bail out of

260
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: the pocket early, or you'll ditch the ball, or because

261
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: you're afraid to take a sack because you've been told

262
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 4: your whole life that you can't take it. You got

263
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: to get the ball out, like if you know when

264
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 4: his when when someone would pass him the peas around

265
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: dinner when he was growing up. He'd get rid of

266
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: that bowl in two point five seconds, or they're knocking

267
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: the bowl a piece out out of his hand all

268
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: over the ground. Taking a sack and throwing an interception

269
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 4: for bo Nix is the worst possible thing you could do.

270
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 4: But does that limit your ability to hang in the pocket,

271
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: look down the field. Let these routes develop. I think

272
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 4: hopefully Jared Stidham's ability to stay in the pocket and

273
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 4: maybe take a few hits, we'll open up the passing

274
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: game a little more than we've seen.

275
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: Are you worried about the sacks on Stidham? Yeah? I

276
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: do think.

277
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: I think New England is a pressure is a pressure.

278
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: Team by and large.

279
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: Uh And they created, especially in the second half, so

280
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: many problems, so many problems for Justin Herbert and you know,

281
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 3: the the CJ. Stroud thing. I just thought he was

282
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: so overwhelmed. If you show signs of being overwhelmed and

283
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 3: like a deer in the headlights, after the first couple

284
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: of pressures, you got to get pressure for the rest

285
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: of the game. And I think it was more of

286
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: a byproduct of that. So again I think, you know,

287
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: that's that's what Sean and the offensive coaches, you know,

288
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 3: want to come up with ways to get the ball

289
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: out of Steady's hands early. The Patriots want to do

290
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: the same thing with Drake May because both teams, I mean,

291
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: Denver has a better pass rush with their with their

292
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 3: base front, but we're New England. I think New England's

293
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: really pretty creative in terms of some of the stuff

294
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: they show, where you'll have seven guys standing up in

295
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage occasionally all seven are coming.

296
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: You know.

297
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: There's a little bit of the Brian Flores sort of

298
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: thing with New England. And I don't know if there's

299
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: somebody that has worked with Brian that now works on

300
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: that coachy staff, But I do think New England is

301
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: going to make some plays on defense. They're going to

302
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: have some negative plays against this Broncos offense. You just

303
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: have to limit those, and then you have to be

304
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: able at times, whether you keep tight ends in or

305
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: you max protect or whatever. You got to be able

306
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: to give them time to throw it and let your

307
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: receivers work downfield.

308
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Five six, six nine zero. I like this text says

309
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: this team doesn't make it this far. If Sidham started

310
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: the whole season I mean, I don't know that it's

311
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: a hypothetical that we'll never know, but one thing I

312
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: did feel like.

313
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: We came out of that game.

314
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: There may be some hot takes that the Broncos go

315
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: on to way win the Super Bowl with Churstidham, There'll

316
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: be a lot of hot takes about Okay, who's your

317
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: starting quarterback? But I feel like, personally, I feel like

318
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: coming out of that game, if you went into the

319
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: season saying I need to know if bo Nix is

320
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback of this team, you learned it officially

321
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: in that game when you saw him complete that touchdown

322
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: pass to Marvin Mims. I read off the stat three

323
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: of four for eighty three yards and two touchdowns. When

324
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: you saw the way he held his poise with all

325
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: that pressure. I can't imagine as many Broncos fans out

326
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: there that still have questions or doubts whether he's the

327
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: guy about Bo?

328
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, is that enough for you? Or did you

329
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: need you do?

330
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Is this more of a well every year you have

331
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: to continue to prove yourself.

332
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you do. Yeah. Yeah.

333
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: If you come out and stink next year, no matter

334
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: who you are, if past ser Tank comes out and

335
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 4: then training, well not just training, can't but can't cover

336
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: anybody anymore. Well, he's gonna lose a job. Yeah, always

337
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: have to prove it. The same with you, right, if

338
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 4: you couldn't come in here next week, well he can

339
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: need to God inform a sentence and you couldn't remember

340
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 4: what you're talking about.

341
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: Don't project things. Let's let's slow down to your left. Yeah,

342
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: go ahead, go ahead. I just put my headphones back on.

343
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: What were you saying?

344
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: So there's always a standard if you're if you want

345
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: to be the best, then you want to be better

346
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 4: than everyone else, then you have to hold that standard

347
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 4: at all times. If Bo can't pold that, he shouldn't

348
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 4: be quarterback, and neither should anybody on that field. But

349
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: to me, he's proven that he's improving like he is

350
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: still a young quarterback.

351
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: We got to remember that.

352
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 4: And he's led his team to a fourteen and three

353
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: regular season uh record and won a home playoff game

354
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 4: in really exciting fashion. So I think, uh, yes, I

355
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: believe that Bo is the franchise quarterback in the future here.

356
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: But we also haven't seen what Jared's bidam does with

357
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 4: this opportunity. And and so you know, we're going to

358
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: reserve all of our judgment until we see how the

359
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 4: season ends.

360
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,239
Speaker 2: Wow, are you, Dave? Are you with uh?

361
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: With Nate over here on the doors now open for

362
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Jared Sidham to while he piped bow Nicks.

363
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think that's what Nate says. No, it's

364
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: not fair.

365
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you again twisting twisting someone's words.

366
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: No, I mean Nate's right in terms of you.

367
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: You got to go out and produce in the NFL, right,

368
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 3: I think Bo's had the kind of season that it

369
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 3: would take an injury or a streak of several games

370
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 3: of him just not playing well for any sort of.

371
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: Move like that to be made. Okay, but did you

372
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: see enough? Did that?

373
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Let me ask you like this, did that game move

374
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 1: the needle for you in any direction as far as

375
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: your belief in Bo Nix is being the starting.

376
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: Court I have always well, not really, because I've always

377
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: that would intimate that I didn't believe Bo was the

378
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 3: quality starting quarterback.

379
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm not asking like from like a past fail. I

380
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: mean more of like, hey, seeing him perform in an

381
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: AFC divisional game with all that pressure on the line

382
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: and having him move down the field to score that touchdown.

383
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: You said, it's a microcosm of the season. Yeah, but

384
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: the fact is, like that was a big moment for him.

385
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: That was a really big moment.

386
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: That was a big moment for the franchise, big moment

387
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: for the city, big moment for the team players wise. Yeah,

388
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 3: but I've just seen it. I've seen him do that

389
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: all year. So it was again I said on the broadcast,

390
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 3: you know, I think they've got.

391
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: Him right where they want him.

392
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 3: I just calling this many games this season that have

393
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 3: ended with stuff like that. It's like that cannot be

394
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: a coincidence. You know, you do it once or twice. Okay,

395
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: maybe got a little bit lucky the Giants. I don't

396
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 3: think they score thirty three points in a fourth quarter

397
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: maybe ever again, but they have found ways to come

398
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: back and when they've had to put together a drive

399
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 3: late in the game, I mean, they've.

400
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: Been able to do it.

401
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: So No, I that game yesterday was indicative of what

402
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: I thought about Bo the entire season. Might just be

403
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 3: one of those years, folks. It might just be. That

404
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 3: was one of my comments in the Giants game, which

405
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 3: would have been October nineteen, nineteenth, three months ago to

406
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 3: the day. Might just be one of those years. And

407
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: you know what it's turned into. You just you just

408
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: ride in the wave as you're trying to stay on

409
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: the board, ride as long as you can. It's turned

410
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 3: into one of those It's been one of those years.

411
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: Regardless of what happens Sunday, you just hope there's two

412
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 3: more games.

413
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch this game. Indian has a chance

414
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: to go sixteen and oh for the first time.

415
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 3: The game is in Miami. Look at the red in

416
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: the red. Oh yeah, they said it'd be like seventy

417
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 3: thirty Hoosiers fans.

418
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: Oh, they've waited a long time for this one.

419
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 3: Well, to get out of Bloomington in mid January. Oh man,

420
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: it's like six degrees yeah, and.

421
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: Head down to Florida. I got to feel good.

422
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, sixteen and oh though Dave has to go sixteen

423
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: oh for the first time in college football.

424
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: As you do, Man, that's remarkable.

425
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: Hard to do well, and that's I think, to your point,

426
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: kind of my final thought. This is like, to your point,

427
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: what they've been able to to do and play as

428
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: clean as they do. And it just felt like even

429
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: in that last game where they didn't need all the

430
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: breaks that they got, but they also forced quite a

431
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: few of those breaks too, even on the defensive side.

432
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean most of the coverage of Indiana starts with

433
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: the offense because of their Heisman winning quarterback. But they've

434
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: got talent everywhere. Yeah, they're well coached. Again, they they

435
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: don't give you the game.

436
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 2: Yep.

437
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: If you're gonna beat them, then nobody's beat them this year.

438
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to beat them on your own. So

439
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a hell of a game.

440
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: I really have admired the physicality of Miami running back

441
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: is a stud. The freshman receiver Malachai Tony Man oh

442
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: Man is he a player. So Miami's got dudes also,

443
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: And I do think it'll be I think it'll be

444
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: a great game.

445
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty simple. I win, he does.

446
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 4: The Hurricanes have defied expectations to get to this point though,

447
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 4: no doubt. You know, nobody's they would be in the

448
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: in the championship game here, so they can use that

449
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 4: so their advantage. Maybe force a few turnovers, force a

450
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 4: few on characteristic mistakes there.

451
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: And you never know what could happen. Well, I'm looking

452
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: forward to it. I mean, this is uh it's always

453
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: such an interesting deal. Do you, like, Dave, that we

454
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: push this thing. I wouldn't say further and further. No,

455
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: it just we're I mean, we're no January nineteenth.

456
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: Now, I just interrupted you three times because I knew,

457
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 3: however you were going to finish, that the answer would

458
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 3: stay the same.

459
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: Still.

460
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: No, I think there's no reason the college football National

461
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 3: Championship Game should be played on January nineteenth.

462
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: No, I agree, But if they expand this thing where

463
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: we might be looking at last year.

464
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 3: Do they really need to give them a month off

465
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: from the regular season, because that's about that's about what

466
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 3: they give off. You're right, I mean some teams are

467
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 3: going to bowl games, and that the college football playoffs

468
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 3: from the let's say even the conference championship, and not

469
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 3: every conference has a conference championship game. It was like,

470
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: I think it was the least three weeks. No need

471
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 3: for that, No need for that.

472
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a long period of time off.

473
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: And I mean i'd even say, I don't even think

474
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: we need as many buys, like they have four teams

475
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: that get a buye. I just start playing, in my opinion.

476
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: But then again, you're also saying that's a lot of

477
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: football for these guys. I mean to talk about just

478
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: in Indiana, right, sixteen games here.

479
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 3: If you did away with the four teams that had

480
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: to buy, it's still the other teams are playing, So.

481
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: That's true, it would still be Yeah.

482
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 3: This long, I just think you have to start the

483
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 3: playoffs more close to the regular season.

484
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the long layoff is it seems a little unnecessary.

485
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait to see it.

486
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: Obviously, we'll have a chance to react to tomorrow and

487
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: we'll continue obviously breaking this game down. A couple of

488
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: texts here on our Kawa Commas spirit Heal text line,

489
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: why did everyone pick Miami? I know college football is

490
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: new easy to dominate. Mystery to me? By am I

491
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: missing something? Yeah, that's we were all sitting in the

492
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: studio saying the same thing. I mean, Pat McAfee ended

493
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: up taking Indiana. But yeah, it was all Miami.

494
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: Well, I mean Miami has been sort of the surprise

495
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 3: team in these playoffs, and if you look at what

496
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: they've accomplished, and this was a team that wasn't I mean,

497
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 3: they were very close to not getting in right, So

498
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: I mean they've gone to College Station and beaten Texas

499
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: a and M they beat Mississippi. I'm trying to think

500
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 3: of the other game for the Hurricanes. I mean, Miami

501
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: has been impressive for sure, and very fast on defense.

502
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: The box is very physical, so you know, maybe they

503
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: were picking them with the points or whatever. But sooner

504
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 3: or later, I mean you think that Indiana is gonna

505
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: sort of stub their toe.

506
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: I just haven't seen it.

507
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: Y Miami's most impressive wins at least regular season Notre Dame.

508
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: That was an one the South. Florida was ranked. Florida

509
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: State was also ranked with.

510
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: It beaten the in the playoffs, other than A and

511
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: M in Mississippi. Uh in Ohio State Yeah, oh yeah,

512
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 3: I forgot Ohio State. Yeah, I mean in Ohio State.

513
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: It was ranked number one in the country or close

514
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: to it. Maybe Indiana was number one. That was a

515
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 3: big win, yeah, big big win.

516
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

517
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: And they and they look dominant from from the gift

518
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: on that one, no doubt about it. So Ben, you've

519
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: been driving the cittam bus now for a couple of years,

520
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: you've been a big fan.

521
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be all right.

522
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 6: I don't think it's just like cavernous drop off that

523
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 6: people make. I mean, there is a drop off, but

524
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 6: you know, you lose the mobility. I also think you

525
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 6: get a you know, a guy who's been sitting in

526
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 6: the offense for three years certainly knows it and willing

527
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 6: to hang in there a little bit longer and make

528
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 6: some of the deeper plays.

529
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 4: And so I think you'll see a few more explosives.

530
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: You'll see some more sacks, but you'll see some more explosives.

531
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 6: So that's probably forced as Sean to you know, hand

532
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 6: the ball off a few times.

533
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 2: What do you hearing about JK Dobbins.

534
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 6: There's realistic Gothamism, but being there Sunday, they want to

535
00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 6: test it out this week and see, so.

536
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: Could be big Dave.

537
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's it's not like I think our optimism

538
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: or belief will hinge on JK.

539
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: Dobbs playing in this game.

540
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: But to the point you made very early in the

541
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: show with both running backs putting the ball on the ground, yep,

542
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: I imagine Sean Payton would maybe stick with the run

543
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: game a bit more if he's got JK.

544
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna stick with whoever's productive. And I mean

545
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 3: if JK is close to being one hundred percent and

546
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 3: is able to play, and he's been he's been out

547
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 3: for a bit. But if he's the JK of Old,

548
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a guy that that's a big plus

549
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: for the Broncos I think, because he even when it's

550
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 3: not let's just say it's a certain play is not

551
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: blocked perfectly, he's patient and he's powerful, built low to

552
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: the ground, he makes something out of nothing, and then

553
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 3: when it is blocked, well, he's explosive enough that he'll

554
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: turn the four five into a fourteen. And that's boy

555
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 3: that that's critical in any game, but especially a game

556
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: of this magnitude.

557
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 2: Well, now, Nate, this is the last day we'll have

558
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: you in studio for the rest of the weeks forever. Goodbye.

559
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: It's fun.

560
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: You just jump right in. I'm still finishing so for

561
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: the rest of this week. So I just want to

562
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: get your early thoughts on on Sunday, like what what?

563
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: What is?

564
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 5: Uh?

565
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: What's important to you to know this week before you'll

566
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: feel good about this game?

567
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: Come up on Sunday or are you already there?

568
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 4: I already feel good about it just because of where

569
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 4: the what the Broncos have shown us all season, what

570
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: Dave talked about it. It might be one of those seasons.

571
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 4: They find different ways to win games. The common denominator

572
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 4: is they win. It might be a defensive play, it

573
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 4: might be a special team's play, it might be Bo Nicks,

574
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 4: it might be Chart stead of. Now, these guys are

575
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: ready for the moment. They're not going to let their

576
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 4: quarterback going down derail their their plans here. Uh, you know,

577
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 4: I agree with what Ben said. There are some things

578
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 4: that they're going to have to account for. Jaredden is

579
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 4: not as mobile, uh, not as prone to make that

580
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 4: those big plays with his legs, but he is going

581
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 4: to push the ball down the field in ways that

582
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 4: I don't think we've seen.

583
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: It with Bow.

584
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 4: So I'm confident that this team is going to pick

585
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: up the slack and play well.

586
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: The JK.

587
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 4: Dobbins things very intriguing. When he's on the field, they

588
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 4: are a different team. He was a top five rusher

589
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 4: when he was out there right and really added an element.

590
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 4: And and Bo looked very comfortable in the pocket. The

591
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: most comfortable Bow has looked all year long is when JK.

592
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 4: Dobbins is out there churning up yardage and the play

593
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 4: action passing game actually works because you're afraid there really

594
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: are going to run it, so intrigued to see how

595
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 4: that develops. But even if JK can't come back, I

596
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 4: have faith that this team believes and knows how to

597
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 4: win these games. So I'm I'm going to pick the Broncos.

598
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: Now we go to win this game. Ben, Yeah, Ben,

599
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 4: win this game.

600
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: You've been picking against him all year.

601
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 4: Last week, yeah, one of the Bills this week, you know,

602
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: but the at Fort living room.

603
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: So you you're you're feeling pretty good about the Bronc.

604
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 3: The Brockles will beat to the Patriots, all right? Then?

605
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: Wow, the driest blankets.

606
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 4: Well, you're not gonna do your like jink streak things

607
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 4: that ended?

608
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 6: That ended Jacksonville, Okay, Yeah, the magic ran out yep,

609
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 6: if you will, right, it was literally me, what even

610
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 6: the play on the field, It was literally me carrying

611
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 6: Denver to win.

612
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, that sounds like somebody else I know. All Right,

613
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: that does it for us? Uh, create great job as always, Nate,

614
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: Appreciate you man, Thank you guys. It's a lot of fun.

615
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: Dave see Ryan, you see you, Nate.

616
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

617
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: Garrett Bowles joins to Mart three o'clock BCT next
