1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: Got Broncos country tonight coming over at the top of 2 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,239 Speaker 1: the hour. Benjamin all Bright, I saw. 3 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 2: Him sulking around the office, around the office. I don't know. 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,799 Speaker 1: That is probably a better way to describe it. 5 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: He was going after everybody that was complaining about the 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 2: refs last night. 7 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean that conversation, why did I jump in? Well, 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: not you, but why would well? 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 2: Because you know Ben has to be right. This is 10 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 2: what he does like, he has to be right all 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: the time. 12 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 3: So he's just kind of screaming at the people who 13 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 3: were screaming at the fishes. 14 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: Yes, and telling them they're all losers. Well to be 15 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: telling on is. I haven't seen the text messages, but 16 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: as a. 17 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: Person who watched the game not only once. 18 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: But twice, the rests they were not really good. It 19 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: was consistently bad for for everybody. And there were miscalls. 20 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: I mean, Laromie Tussel still getting off early. That's that's 21 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: still bothering me. I I don't understand why we just 22 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: let that that happen. Even on the touchdown. I think 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: the I want to say the Rodriguez one, no, no, no, 24 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: it was a trail on Burkes one. 25 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had a he jumped early. 26 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: Trailing Burkes, Christ pushed off or whatever it is, what 27 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: it is, it's it's kind of and remarkably land Clark 28 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: and that crew called the fewest amount of penalties this 29 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: year of any officiating crew, which is interesting only because 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: the Broncos are I would say taking a victory lap, 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: because I heard Sean earlier day talking about it. He 32 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: just pointed out that, hey, you only had six penalties, 33 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: you know in that game, sorry, five penalties for thirty 34 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 2: five yards. And he said, well, that's great, that's that's 35 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: good because that's that's what we're trying to do. And 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: I'm like, ah, But also that crew doesn't call a 37 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: lot of penalties. In fact, it was ten combined penalties 38 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: of the entirety of the game, sixty eight total yards 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: in penalties handed out, and that included by the way 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: that DPI that happened later on with Talana Hufonga. 41 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: They just did not call a lot of penalties last night. 42 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 3: Well, for me, I was looking, being a former defensive 43 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 3: player at some of the picks and rubs. 44 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: Even on the highlight. 45 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: You just played a moment ago with Nick Minito batting 46 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: down the Marukxa Maayoto attempt to pass to Nichols in 47 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 3: the flat. Even on that particular play, it was a 48 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: pick play because that's the was Alex. 49 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: Singleton was tracking. 50 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: McNichols because he had coverage on him and Johnny on 51 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: the spot. 52 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: Deebo Samws kind of went at him and just kind. 53 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 3: Of basketball put his butt to kind of move him 54 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: off his spot. So these are the types of things 55 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: that you call and some other things that are taking tacky, 56 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 3: but those obvious types of picks and rubs. Man, Yeah, 57 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: that rose me the wrong way. 58 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: A couple of texts here on the Kai Komas Spirit 59 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: health text line five six six nine zero and then 60 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: I want to have a serious conversation. 61 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: With you about the defense. Just a little fun note. 62 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: I played a game with my friend last night to 63 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: see how many times Collinsworth would mention Mahomes. Surprisingly, I 64 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: only took one shot of whiskey. Felt he was close 65 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: to a couple times, especially on the Bonnicks touchdown pass. 66 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: He looks Chris Collinsworth loves him to Patrick Mahomes as 67 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: you get him talking about that, and you might need 68 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: to bring in the very white He's gonna. 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Need a moment. 70 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 2: Washington gave us their best shot both sides through Haymakers. 71 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly right. 72 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: I mean, and that is, you know, kind of coming 73 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: back to the whole point of why he wasn't a 74 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: more decisive win for the Broncos is because, well, they 75 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: get paid two And I know this cliche, but very true. 76 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of pride on that side. Somebody else 77 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: pointed out I think it's an important one. This is 78 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: in large part the bones of a team that went 79 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship game last year. They're having a 80 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: tough year this year, and there was going to be 81 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: some regression. Not this much regression. I think a lot 82 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: of people expected. There's a lot of talent on that team, 83 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: and they got back to Terry McLaurin and he obviously 84 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: had an immediate impact on that game. And part of 85 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: their losing streak has been without Terry McLaurin and their 86 00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: starting quarterback Jayden Daniels. 87 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota is a really good backup. 88 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: Like whatever you think about him, Yeah, whatever you think 89 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: about him, and what the course of his career being 90 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: the second overall pick, he's not a bad player. Now 91 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: you know, Kansas City, they beat up on him a 92 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: couple about a month ago or so, and that was 93 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: at Kansas City. By the way, I'm a little bit 94 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: of a different deal, but by and large, he's had 95 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 2: some nice moments over this stretch where jayde Daniels has 96 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: been out, So I didn't think this was going to 97 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: be a walk in the park. I did like the 98 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: idea of the Broncos winning by more than six. 99 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I picked that right. 100 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: I picked him poind by seven, But it felt like 101 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: it was gonna For me, it felt like he was 102 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: always going to be a fourth quarter game. So I 103 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 2: guess that's that's a little bit different for me than 104 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: some people who out there who felt like it was 105 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 2: going to be a double digit win and more decisive 106 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: because they're a three and eight team. I think sometimes 107 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: people get stuck on the records more so than scouting 108 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: the actual team. 109 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: Well usually that that's usually the consensus when when people 110 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: looking at things from a fantasy standpoint or the making 111 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: the over under, they're looking at injuries, they're looking at 112 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: the streak, who's at the quarterback, who's. 113 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: Starting, who's out, But then they also factor in what 114 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: the overall record is. 115 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 3: And for me, going in, I always look at this 116 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 3: or look at it from this standpoint, those teams that 117 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: have bad records. 118 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: Those teams are the more dangerous teams. They have absolutely 119 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: nothing to lose. 120 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 3: So I expected dan Quinn first and foremost coach, team 121 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 3: to go out there and play hard, especially Sunday night 122 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 3: football at home. And this team wasn't going to lay down. 123 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: And the Broncos scored. 124 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: They scored. The Broncos gotta stop, they gotta stop. 125 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: This was kind of a heavyweight fight, but for more 126 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: Broncos fans and maybe people on the national level, they 127 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: were looking, Okay, well, this. 128 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: Is not the fight that you want. 129 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 3: This was a team that three and eight and you're 130 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: supposed to really hand them an l in a big way. Well, 131 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: once again, they're gonna fight, like I expect the Raids 132 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: to fight when the Broncos play them next Sunday. I 133 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: don't expect the Broncos to just kind of lay down 134 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: and let what we saw on Thursday night happen again. 135 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 3: But but the Raiders, those players are playing for their jobs, 136 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: so they're. 137 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: Gonna give the Broncos their best shot. Yeah. Max Crosby 138 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: does not take games off, No. 139 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: He and just think about it, He's been on a 140 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 3: losing team for so many years, but every single game 141 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: he plays in it's like, Okay, it's the first game 142 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 3: of the season. 143 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to play quarterback and that dude tracking league. 144 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't want that. 145 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: By the way, brock Bowers had one of the silliest 146 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: catches you'll see. I mean, we've talked about the trail 147 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: on Birks one. Did you see Brock powers That's just 148 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: not fair. 149 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: Tell me about imagine being a defender covering him. What's 150 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: not fair? What do you even say to your coach 151 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: where you go to the sideline. 152 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: Well, you know, as soon as you go to the sideline, 153 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: your coach is gonna be like, Ryan, you got to. 154 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: Make that play. You you make that play. And I've 155 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: said that the coaches before. I didn't really. 156 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: I'm guarding, you know, Antonio Gates or Tony Gonzalez, we 157 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: need you to make that play. 158 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, do you see do you know who 159 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: that is? Right? 160 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 3: I'm in position and I'm trying to reach around him 161 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: and he's got this massive body boxing me out, and 162 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: you're talking about, well, I don't care what you have 163 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: to do. 164 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: You have to make the play and I'm like, you 165 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: would have made that play. Yeah, get on my face, 166 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: So get out of my face. 167 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: A couple more texts here, Ryan, I think the most 168 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: exciting thing about this game was the emergence of Evan 169 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: Ingram in the passing game. Gives the Broncos that easy 170 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: button they desperately need. I mean something I talked about 171 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: in the off season quite a bit that the Broncos, 172 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: and honestly, it was a lot of watching Washington last 173 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: year what zach Ertz was for that team, and you 174 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: saw again last night. Zach Ertz was an easy button 175 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: for that offense and the Broncos desperately need that. 176 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: I hoped for more. 177 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: We talked about v Ingram a little bit earlier, but 178 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: we can bring it back for a second. I'd hope 179 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: for more over the course of the season. That being said, 180 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: there's still a lot of season to play. There's five 181 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: Railer season games. You're gonna be a postseason team, you 182 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: might even be a super Bowl bound team. Evan Ingram 183 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: is going to be a factor. So we can say, 184 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: on one hand, and I think both things can be true, 185 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: that we wanted more, but we're excited about the potential 186 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: returns down the stretch, because again, I think people tend 187 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: to look at teams as static, as in, this is 188 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 2: what you are, and you more or less are going 189 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: to be one version notch above or one notch below. 190 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: But you're kind of what you are in every single 191 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: game right over the course of the season, totally negating 192 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: the fact that you could improve and you could take 193 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: them big steps forwards. The Brothers are winning these games 194 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 2: without playing their best football. We all acknowledge that because 195 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: we've seen flashes of their best football. 196 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: They don't put it all together. Maybe for a couple 197 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: of games. 198 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: The Dallas game would be example of all three phases 199 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: all coming together and playing well. Cincinnati be another one, 200 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: but against Cincinnati was also down. Kansas City was a 201 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: game that I think all three phase has played very well. 202 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: But for the most part throughout this season, Nick, I 203 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: can't think of many moments where I said that was 204 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: a complete game from this team. 205 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely right. And that's the scary part. And that's why 206 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: on every React show, every game you're getting fans it's like, God, 207 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 3: that was good, but they could do more. 208 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: That wasn't good enough. 209 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 3: Because their level of expectation continues to soar, and that 210 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 3: could present issues for both Vance Joseph and Sean Payton 211 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 3: and every single player on this team, because once you 212 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: start to give them something, you can't lower the standard. 213 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 3: The bar keeps going up like a high jump. And 214 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 3: the fans that they're feeling that feeling that they fell 215 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: years ago. Unlet's rewind the twenty fifteen. That's what they're feeling, 216 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 3: and it's like, hey, who. 217 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: Wha, who whoa? 218 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: Don't build my hopes up, Ryan, only to let me down. 219 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: I need you to come through, especially on my parlay. 220 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: Dude, I can I still can't believe I got that call, 221 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: getting that called or react somebody going off and it 222 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: was after him. I believe it was after the Raiders game. 223 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: Somebody was very angry. Sounded a little drunk too, but 224 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 2: very angry. The Froncos didn't play better because of his parlight, so. 225 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 3: They were drunks texting, which something you do, ye calling 226 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: get drunk call it? Well, yeah, I mean the versions 227 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: of all that being correct. But also that's part of 228 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 3: what React is so awesome, because we get. 229 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: All it's wrong. You don't know what's gonna get we We. 230 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: Had one caller last night that I was trying to 231 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: get to but we kind of ran out of time, 232 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: but it was it was probably gonna be a good one, 233 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: you know what. 234 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: You know what I call it When I listened to 235 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: you driving home and you're doing, uh, the React, it's 236 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: like the Mystery Meat right, And what I mean by 237 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: the Mystery Meat hour like if you ever have you 238 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 3: ever wrapped. 239 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: Has a compliment? If you're somewhere you. 240 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 3: Wrapped something up in a Lumina four and you're stick 241 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 3: in the back of the refrigerator. Yeah, two weeks later 242 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: you come back, it's morphed into something else. So so 243 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: the idea is that when you do the react, yes, 244 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: you don't know what you're gonna get on the text 245 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 3: line or phone call. Right, you know you're gonna get fans, 246 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 3: they're gonna be fired up, but you don't know which 247 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 3: way is gonna sway until they actually open them up. 248 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: So it's like the Mystery Meat hour. Like as soon 249 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: as you practice. 250 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: Like hey, uh, Eric Cole seven to two, Oh okay, 251 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: tell me what you think about the game, and then 252 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: you just unwrap the illuminofoil and there it is and you. 253 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: With your Nick Daves. 254 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: This is really it's like next level I've never heard 255 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: anybody compare React show to Mystery Meat. 256 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: It is it not mystery Meat? 257 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: You do you know what's gonna happen when that person 258 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: sends a text a call? 259 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: Do you know you have no idea? No, I really 260 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: don't exactly until they stay Ryan. 261 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 3: Let me let me tell you about the game now, 262 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: aluminifoil open Mystery Meat. 263 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: Revealed one more text here a question for both of you. 264 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: Do these wins remind you when Tebow won? 265 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: Game's like that? 266 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: I mean a little bit, I get no, a little 267 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 2: bit of the hates that comp because if you say that, 268 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: it's gonna listed a lot of other thoughts, which means 269 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: is an extremely limited team. Like the path for winning 270 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 2: with the Tebow era Denver Broncos was so razor thin, right, 271 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: I mean it was all about the I mean they 272 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: led the league rushing, right, which was great, but it 273 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: was there was there was a lot more smoke and 274 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: mirrors to what they were accomplishing. 275 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: And I was a huge fan of it. It was 276 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: some of. 277 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: The greatest sports talk radio in my entire lifetime. 278 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: I loved it. 279 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: I loved every minute of it because you literally split 280 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: the fan base down in the middle on people that 281 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 2: love what they're watching and hated what they're watching. 282 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: All and you couldn't explain it all of it. I 283 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: think there's more to it. I think there's more. 284 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: I think it does a disservice to this team to 285 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: bring up Tebow when we're talking about the way the 286 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: Broncos have found ways to win games. I think it 287 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: does a disservice to the talent of this team and 288 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: the way they are capable of winning games, because I 289 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 2: do think there's more. There wasn't more to the t 290 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: bou year, like there really was. You were maxed out 291 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 2: and you found out quickly once you played the New 292 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: England Patriots in Foxborough. 293 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: You were maxed out. There was nothing else. There was 294 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: no other lovel. 295 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 2: There's a lot more to the passing game that they 296 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: could continue to develop, including getting the ball more to say. 297 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: Marvin Mims love Pat Brian with a way, huge fan. 298 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 2: Pat Brian's awesome, but more developed in the passing game, 299 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: certainly more to develop in the running game. And then 300 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: you know, defensively, you're just now kind of getting back 301 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 2: into form with health, right, you're getting all your guys back. Yeah, 302 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 2: So I just think that there's more paths to wins, 303 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: and we're seeing that for the team O year, it 304 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: really was kind of a hang on to your butts 305 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: until the fourth quarter. 306 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: Just keep it close and hopefully you can. 307 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 2: Lull the other team into some kind of submission where 308 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: they don't think you could possibly come back from this, 309 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: and then you do. I mean, the Bears win by 310 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: itself defied all laws of nature, and yet it somehow 311 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: still exists in our record books. 312 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: I understand how individuals kind to make the similar to 313 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 3: the t Bow years because running the ball well Broncos 314 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: and running the ball well, now we're playing great defense 315 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 3: keeping them in the game, and te Bow there's a 316 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: design quarterback run and he makes the play, puts some 317 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 3: in position, they kick the game, win the field goal, 318 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 3: something like that. 319 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: I can understand. 320 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: That's the closest comparison that I would get to comparing 321 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 3: that era to what we're seeing now from the Denver Broncos, 322 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: because during that era, no one has a strong belief 323 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 3: that t Bow can make an accurate pass at a given. 324 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: Time if he totally honest. This is not me saying 325 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: somebody that no. 326 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: One else has ever thought to say it before, but 327 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: with this particular situation with bow there is a belief 328 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 3: that he can make some of the craziest throws, like 329 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 3: the throw to Courtland sudden going to the ground and 330 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 3: he just threw the ball and I had to tell 331 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: some fans we were at burned down. I was like, look, 332 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 3: he wasn't trying to get that. He was trying to 333 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: get into Courtland. But he under stood that he needed 334 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 3: to get into where Cortland was going, because had he 335 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: thrown into where Cortland was coming from, that pass would 336 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 3: have been deflected. But that is where bo is and 337 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: that's playing quarterback for anyone in the NFL. We've seen 338 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 3: Mariota did it in the game. 339 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: He did right. 340 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 3: I mean, how did two Broncos players actually miss him 341 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: and he got out of it and he still threw 342 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: the ball down the field. 343 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: Con belue it. It's stunning. 344 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 3: That's the NFL, and it's can you make that type 345 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: of throw as a quarterback fall into the ground, but 346 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 3: more importantly as an intended receiver? Can you make it 347 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: play for your team? And Courtland did and did? 348 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was remarkable. This is a great This is 349 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: a great text. And I sometimes want to say this 350 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: and I think I have said versions of this during 351 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 2: Broncos React. But there isn't a team. This is a text. 352 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 2: There isn't a team in the league that wouldn't take 353 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: the Broncos season. Like I think about it in terms, well, 354 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: what's so hard to understand about that there's not a 355 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: team in the laite that wouldn't take this the Broncos season. Yeah, no, 356 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 2: there isn't a team. Okay, yeah, there is not a 357 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: team that wouldn't take this season. You think about this 358 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: last weekend, right, and all the teams that lost, and 359 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: this is what I usually say to that effect, Like 360 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: you go down the list of teams that are playoff 361 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: if not believing they are Super Bowl favorites or hopefuls, 362 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: and they lost, you know, the Detroit Lions losing to 363 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears or sorry to the Green Bay Packers. 364 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: Right, Chicago Bears beating the Eagles. 365 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: Right, You'll think the Eagles would want like, no matter 366 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: what it cost, as long as it's you know, injuries, 367 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: to find a way to win the game. 368 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: Like in the end. 369 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: And I remind react listeners as well as just myself 370 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: sometimes you know, we'll talk about the style points, but 371 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: when you get to. 372 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: January and it's seeding time. 373 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: Nobody's thinking about, well, you know, the Broncos really. 374 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: Did give up a lot of ground. This is where 375 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: it's different. 376 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: From college football, it is. But like, boy, you know, 377 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: hey Marcus Mariota, Boy, he really did have a good 378 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: game against the Broncos back in early December or late November. Right, 379 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 2: nobody's thinking about the ten to seven win over the 380 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 2: Raiders and what a slog it was. 381 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: You got to win. 382 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: That matters in tiebreakers, that matters in standings, and that's 383 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: all it is. 384 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: That's it. That's I mean. And again, I'm not trying. 385 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: To I'm not trying diminish an argument that they should 386 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: be better, because they can and they should. But we 387 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: will argue style points and in the end, I think 388 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 2: we're all gonna be thrilled in January when they are 389 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 2: hosting two playoff games here in Denver with an opportunity 390 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: to go to the Super Bowl. 391 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 3: I want to play Devil's advocate for a second, because 392 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 3: I know certain fans are thinking about this as well. 393 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: All of that is great, and ideas, you play the 394 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 3: opponents in front of you and you do what you 395 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 3: need to do as long as you can get the 396 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 3: w but extended. 397 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: Beyond the realm of the last game of the season. 398 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: The idea is that you have to do something or 399 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 3: show that you have officially turned the corner. 400 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: You're playing your best football at the right time. 401 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 3: And just when I say that, I think about a 402 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 3: week ago the Rams played their best football. They're being 403 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 3: considered after beating Seattle, you know, the number one seed 404 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 3: and Matthew Stafford. 405 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: There was MVP talk. 406 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: And then they play Sunday and Stafford throws two interceptions 407 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 3: and they get beat by Carolina and Bryce Young, a 408 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 3: guy who people are saying he said to be in 409 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 3: the league in the first place. 410 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: Right, So this is how bizarre league has become. 411 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 3: And it's gonna get crazier as this race gets tired. 412 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 3: Like the Broncos can't think about New England, they can't 413 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 3: think about anyone else. 414 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: You handle your own destiny. You beat the teams in 415 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: front of you. That's it. Your guy, who you How 416 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: did you meet dirty digit? Near mind? You don't don't 417 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: play that again with times I heard it, But okay. 418 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: I mean I didn't think of it as doing meet 419 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: dirty Okay, good, yes, great, I was talking about Mari Yoda. 420 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: And they dropped the mystery meat in there. I'm telling you, man, 421 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: that's the part of those Yes, yeah, open up the 422 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: mystery meat. Yeah. 423 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: No, I understand. But in the context of everything else, 424 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: that doesn't sound great. 425 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: Some political pack needs to hire me, man. I can 426 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: edit these people out of context like no other. 427 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 2: We don't even need AI. We just hire great Zach 428 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: to take care of it. Five six six Nimes zeros 429 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 2: our Kway commas Bury. He'll text line Broncos country tonight, 430 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: come over the top of the hour. We do this 431 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: every single Monday, and whether they win or not, but 432 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: it's always great to hear from the quarterback Bonnicks as 433 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 2: he sits down with voice the Broncos Dave Logan boon. 434 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 4: Nicks was twenty nine at forty five or three hundred 435 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 4: and twenty one yards complete. It passes to ten different 436 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 4: receivers and joins us now from the locker room. Bo 437 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 4: It's Dave Logan, congratulations, man. That was That was a 438 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: rollercoaster of a game. But I think, really, when you 439 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 4: look at how this entire season has gone, I would say, 440 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 4: you guys are kind of used to this sort of thing. 441 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, we I think we just found a different way 442 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 5: to win, a different way. I think we're just going 443 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 5: to figure them all out this year. And today just 444 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 5: happened to be in overtime and our defense had to 445 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 5: get a stop there on two point conversion, and you know, 446 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 5: we did it that way, and it was pretty cool 447 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 5: because you know, it could that game could have gone 448 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 5: a couple of different ways, and guys could have, you know, 449 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 5: to quit, but we didn't. Then we just found a way. 450 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 5: When it's crazy, it's becoming redundant, but I think it's 451 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 5: our h it's just our culture. I think it's just 452 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 5: the way our team's going to be. 453 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: Yep, no doubt about that. 454 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 4: That last drive in overtime, you guys moved down the 455 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 4: field in really quick fashion. You go seventy six yards 456 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 4: and five plays, and the big play was the comple 457 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: Evan Ingram who ran I believe it was a jerk route, 458 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 4: but I mean he really ran it well. And I 459 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 4: thought Evan had a really big game for you tonight. 460 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: He can really kind of came out with. 461 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 5: You gay plea's you know, really well. He answers the 462 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 5: bell when his numbers called. 463 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: And it's actually pretty cool. 464 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 5: This is a cool experience we talked all week about 465 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 5: different ways to run a couple of routes and how 466 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: he's going to set things up. And early in the 467 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 5: game on the two minute drill, actually he ran you know, 468 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 5: sort of like a return route. He ran in across 469 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 5: the face and then ran back out against the like 470 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 5: Bobby Wagner, and then we set that last one up, 471 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 5: so we kind of went to him, acted like he 472 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 5: was going to break back out across his face, and 473 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 5: we talked about that during the week. You know, if 474 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 5: we get to this play, this is what we're gonna want. 475 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 5: And after immediately when he got tackled got up, you know, 476 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 5: he's like looking at me like, you know, pretty much 477 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 5: talking about that's what we talked about, like it happened, 478 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 5: and it's just really cool to see the excitement and 479 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 5: the reaction ones something like that happens, and you know, 480 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 5: that's you work this hard and you do so much 481 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 5: throughout the week and it pays off like that.

I think I think 501 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 2: buying large. I think it started out a little bit slow, 502 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: but as the game wore on, there were a couple 503 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,239 Speaker 2: of pockets there in the third and fourth quarter that 504 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: you certainly like to have back. 505 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: He had the interception early in the fourth quarter. I 506 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: mean things like that, but once. 507 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 2: Again, like when you need points, when you need plays 508 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: to happen, he does come come up with it right. 509 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 2: But I want to look at the last two games specifically. 510 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 2: So he had the mini buy, which can cap tip 511 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: to Zach Seekers who pointed this out. He said, last year, 512 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 2: after the mini by, which was the Saints game on 513 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 2: Thursday night, Bo Knicks kind of turned his game around. 514 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 2: He started playing much better, just having a little bit 515 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: of a reset opportunity there. So the Raiders game was 516 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 2: what it was, right, I mean, fifty seven point one 517 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 2: completion rate, one hundred and fifty passing yards, one touchdown, 518 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: two interceptions. 519 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: Not great. 520 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 2: But then against Kansas City almost sixty five percent completion rate, 521 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 2: two hundred and ninety five passing yards. Now he no 522 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: touchdowns but also no picks. But we all acknowledge he 523 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 2: played a good game against Kansas. 524 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: City, right, yeah, Yeah, and. 525 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: Then last night three hundred and twenty one passing yard, 526 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 2: sixty four point four, one touchdown, one interception. 527 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: What's really a note to me is the yards per. 528 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: Attempt eight point zero and seven point one, and those 529 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 2: are two of the highest of the season for him. 530 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 2: Like the deep passing has gotten better. And I would say, 531 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 2: without looking too far into this, I bet their third 532 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: down percentage the last two weeks, the last two games 533 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 2: is probably their best so far. 534 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: This year too. 535 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: It did feel like they're a lot more confident in 536 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 2: some of those third down moments. I know, I know 537 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 2: last night they were seven to fifteen, but I can 538 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: look it up for the Chiefs one. But I'm saying 539 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 2: like they looked more confident in those high leverage moments. 540 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: He specifically looked more confident for more of the game 541 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 2: than just the fourth quarter. 542 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: Would you agree with that? 543 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that that's a good assessment also too, 544 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 3: and looking at that assessing the number of attempts and 545 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 3: how those attempts passing attempts continue to climb, And for me, 546 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: will I would love to see bow at around maybe 547 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 3: thirty or maybe even twenty eight passing attempts and knowing 548 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 3: as though there's twenty four rushing attempts, consistent rushing attempts, 549 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 3: but yeah. 550 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: He's having his moments. 551 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 3: That forty one yard catch and run by Evan Ingram 552 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 3: obviously adds to the stat total and the average per catch. 553 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: But I've been happy with what I've seen from bow Nicks. 554 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 3: And when you think about a quarterback, here's a couple 555 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 3: of things you think about. You think about what that 556 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 3: quarterback does to move the chains on third down? What 557 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 3: is capable of doing inside the red zone? But for me, 558 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 3: it's not killing the drage, not turning the ball over. 559 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 3: You mentioned that interception to Bobby Wagner. Yeah, you can't 560 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: take it off the stat she but I'm gonna say this, man, 561 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 3: Bobby Wagner made one hell of a play and bow 562 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 3: you could say maybe he stared down the receiver too 563 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: much on that because he never saw Bobby Wagner. 564 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: But that's gonna happen, right. 565 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 3: We're not seeing bo regress in the way where you're like, wow, 566 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 3: and why did the Broncos draft him in the first place. 567 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing that that level of regression. 568 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 3: You're just always looking for ways to improve as players, 569 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 3: and I think he's only gonna get better as the 570 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 3: season moves on. 571 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 2: Okay, so I looked it up, all right. So they 572 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 2: were seven to fifteen last night, seven to fifteen against 573 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. 574 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: Yep. 575 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: Forty seven percent conversion rate on third down the last 576 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 2: two weeks will put the fourth best in the NFL. 577 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 2: Right now, over the season, they're eighteenth and that number 578 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: is thirty thirty eight. So you have been almost ten 579 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: percent better on third down or a small sample two games. 580 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: But the point of it is coming off mini buy 581 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: and now off the bye week, the offense is gaining 582 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: some confidence and you can see it on stats like 583 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 2: third down conversion. 584 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 3: Very true, and because we can always look at stats 585 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 3: in the two games ample sides, it is good small, 586 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 3: it's small, but it's good enough to see or judge 587 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 3: the rate of improvement. 588 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: Now here's how you take that stat a step further. 589 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 3: Converting those third downs great, let that continue, but when 590 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 3: you get inside the red zone, right, the high red 591 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 3: zone twenty yards out the low red zone ten yards 592 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 3: going in, convert more of those into touchdowns, and we 593 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 3: would start to see the Broncos have those first quarter 594 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 3: or those those leads, and not just saying in the 595 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 3: first half, but you go into the third quarter. 596 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter carrying those leads. 597 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 3: So now you have to take that number that you're 598 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 3: talking about in that percentage from just being about third 599 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 3: downs to now inside the red zone making those into 600 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 3: more touchdowns instead of field goes. I know Will Lux 601 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: just got the bag last week, and you want to 602 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 3: see him kick. 603 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: He's done a great job. But I want to see 604 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: more touchdowns and I want to see less Will nuts. 605 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure fair enough. Even Will LUTs are probably to 606 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: a certain amount acknowledged that would be nice. 607 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: Yes, And again you're talking about trying to become something 608 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 2: that you have, and like we're talking about the third 609 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 2: down percentage right where you're kind of bottom third of 610 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: the league. Maybe a little bit better than that, but 611 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 2: hm around there. You want to go from you want 612 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 2: to go from where you are winning these games to 613 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 2: maybe winning more comfortably. And if you're going to do that, 614 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 2: that means you're scoring more points, right instead of kicking 615 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: field goals and allowing teams to hang around to where 616 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: you have to come up clutch in the fourth quarter, whether. 617 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: It's to come back or otherwise. So I hear you. 618 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: By the way, the Broncos are no longer number one 619 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 2: in penalties assessed. 620 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: Is Dallas? Now that's Jacksonville. Jacksonville. 621 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred and four, the Broncos of ninety eight, 622 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 2: which is not a good number, but they still leading 623 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: penalty yards. So we still have that badge we get 624 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: to wear. But progress, progress, that's all you want is 625 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 2: progress doing. 626 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: Eleven wins. Man, way to go. That's a little sarcasting 627 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: me here for not at all. Man, I am very bitterness. 628 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: Maybe bitterness that's a little more yeah, I've been I've 629 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: been around long enough. 630 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 6: I know what brand of tea you're drinking. 631 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, there's some weeks. 632 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 2: There's some weeks you really feel as though you you 633 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 2: missed out on an opportunity, especially in a short week, 634 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: and then some weeks you're just grateful you didn't have 635 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: a donuts like there had been I had. 636 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: I had a scare on those ones.

I don't think Dart gives them 664 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 6: a better chance to win than Jameis Winston does right now. 665 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 6: I get you got to develop the kid you got 666 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 6: and you got to put him in there, but I 667 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 6: don't think he gives them a better chance to win 668 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 6: the Jamis I. 669 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: Really do like the Mike Kafka auditioning narrative though he 670 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 2: saw auditioning for Tennessee. 671 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 6: Well, I I'm just saying, like he's I know he's 672 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 6: not gonna get the Giants job, but he's doing a 673 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 6: great job right now. 674 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 2: But any whether you make Jackson Dart look great three 675 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 2: you just make things look great, and he'd looked, I mean, 676 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: James Wist look phenomenal. 677 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: The last couple of weeks they did. 678 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 2: So if you're Mike Kafka and you're in a primetime game, 679 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're gonna win because I think the 680 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: Patriots are Ultimately, I think we're hoping. 681 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: The Giants wine. 682 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 6: But yeah, I just I mean, if we're being realistic here, 683 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 6: I don't see it. 684 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 3: But Kafka has changed a little with the game plan 685 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 3: because there's no design quarterback runs like Brian David was 686 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 3: doing with Jackson Dart. 687 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, yeah, they're trying to protect him. That's a 688 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: Davil staple too, though. 689 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 6: But I mean you look at that there are some 690 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 6: quarters and some office quarters that Shane Stikeen does that 691 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 6: too with the design QB stuff. 692 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: And now we see, you know, Jones is hurt. 693 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 6: We've seen what's happened when you take that element out 694 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 6: of the offense. You know, look, the Colts say they 695 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 6: fallen up a little bit. I would not be surprised 696 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 6: to see Houston sneak up and snatch that division. 697 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: I think I think that's surprised either. 698 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 3: I didn't think it was possible at first because I 699 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 3: didn't really trust Davis Mills, but he did a good 700 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 3: job of see de Shrob being
