1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: Back here in just a second as we head out 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,439 Speaker 1: to the Kai Commas Spirit Health Hotline live from San Francisco, 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: soide of Super Bowl sixty. Adam Rake, one of the 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: biggest Broncos supporters in the nation, joining us right now 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: on the hot line. What's about him? 6 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: How are you? Man? Oh my gosh, what a git now, 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. Hey, thank you so much for having me. Anthony. 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: By the way, can we talk about the head of 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: hair that Anthony has? I'm like, what a what? I 10 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: as a bald American, I was very I was intimidated 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: by the quoth. I'm like, look of this guy. He's 12 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 2: all put together, but out here in San Francisco right 13 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: now having a good time. What I'm most upset though? 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: It's not the Broncos and it's not the Bears like 15 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 2: I thought. I thought that that was the deal. I 16 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: thought that's what we were going to have out here. 17 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: Honestly, the way the season was playing out, I would 18 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: have felt that way too. We got down to the line, 19 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: I mean, before we get to the Bears. I know 20 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: you're a big Bears fan. What did you think of 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: the Broncos season so far? And again, you've been you've 22 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: been kind of riding this train now for a few years. 23 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I'm obviously I'm a huge fan 24 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: and a Shan Tait and what he's able to do 25 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: as a head coach. I thought that coming into the 26 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: season there was a real opportunity for this Broncos team. 27 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: I've been a big Bowl leaver since day one, and 28 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: even though there hasn't been a you know, I don't 29 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: feel like they've surrounded him with enough talent offensively to 30 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: really get the true force of what he's going to 31 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: be all about in this league. I thought this was 32 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: a great season, great step forward, you know what. And 33 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: even with Jared Stidham, like we were just talking about 34 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: it a moment ago on some other show that I 35 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: was doing, Like I really did truly believe for most 36 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 2: of that game that you guys were going to come 37 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: out and win that win that game. But unfortunately it 38 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: just wasn't the case. But I think that, you know what, 39 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: you got to go out there, you got to go 40 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: address the receiver position. Wouldn't mind perhaps getting a pass 41 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: catching tight end kind of like what the I mean, 42 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: similar to what the Bears did last year. You know 43 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: the Bearsit out of the park by getting a tight 44 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: end of the future, a wide receiver, a running back. 45 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: Denver's got to approach the draft the same way, and 46 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: I but I think they're really close. 47 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: The Bears also went through free agency and hit on 48 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 3: a bunch of their free agents and then they traded, 49 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: obviously for Joe Thuni. What is I guess my question 50 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 3: is what is a way for the Broncos the ideas 51 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: they need an X factor, they need another guy on offense. 52 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: What would be the best way for them to get that? 53 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: Do you think that's through the drafts or is that 54 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: through free agency? 55 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: Well, you know what, like you said, there's ways to 56 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: be creative. You know, you want to go out there 57 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: and identify some teams that are trying to get rid 58 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: of a playmaker who has a bad contract, who wants 59 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: more opportunities, want something to happen. Because a lot of 60 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: these just seemed to come out of nowhere, Like nobody 61 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: knew that Joe Toney was going to be available on 62 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: the market, Like it was a surprise to a lot 63 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: of people when he was traded. But you look at 64 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: a team and I'm not saying that this is the 65 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: guy who's going to be traded. But if like Kyan 66 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 2: Williams was going to be available for some reason, if 67 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: they're going to move on from him, find some other 68 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: situation with the player who who is going to be available. 69 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 2: You've got to be a little bit creative. We saw 70 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: last year going out there and making those big deals 71 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 2: is a great way to do it. Use a little 72 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: bit of a free agent money wisely, then go out 73 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 2: there and swing a trade or two, and you gotta 74 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: draft it is It seems easy to just sit here 75 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: and be like, yeah, just make good trades through everything, 76 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: but you got to go out there and be creative 77 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 2: and kind of try to forecast the situations where there 78 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: could be an opening around the league. Here and Ring. 79 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: Joining us NFL Network. Last couple here for you, man, 80 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: I know you got to run. But since this isn't 81 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl matchup that any of us wanted, what 82 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: do you actually think about the game that's going to 83 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: be coming up on Sunday. 84 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'll be entertaining. I think it'll be 85 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: a pretty good matchup. I like the fact that both 86 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: teams play a lot of defense. That's going to be 87 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: It's gonna make for an interesting start of the game. 88 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: I know a lot of times in the in the 89 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: first in the first half, these things could be under underwhelming, 90 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: but it's like, you know, it's I think it's gonna 91 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: be a good defensive battle. I'm really interested to see 92 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: what this new England team is really all about, because 93 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: I think people are kind of overlooking, like how well Denver, 94 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: how well you guys were doing against them two weeks ago, 95 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 2: like really just have them on the ropes. And I 96 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: know everybody's examining the play with John not going for 97 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: the field goal, but at the same time, like, I 98 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: do think that that showed like you can get to 99 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: Drake May, you can sort of set some things up 100 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: and then kind of take advantage of some opportunities there. 101 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: So I'm curious to see what Seattle's going to be 102 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: all about. But I think that Seattle ends up being 103 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: the team that takes this. 104 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: Hey ye out of my last question here is you know, 105 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: not meant to be controversial, but give me one supplies 106 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: player on the Broncos who won't be there next year. 107 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you want me to be non controversial. 108 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: I'm this is oh my gosh, I don't even know 109 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 2: what I mean. Like it's it's too happy to say JK. 110 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: Dobbins or I don't. I can't really. I mean, obviously 111 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: somebody's gonna go, Like somebody's gonna leave, something's gonna happen. 112 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: I don't know that. I really like Courtland Sutton. But 113 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: sometimes if you break from a player like that, if 114 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: that can help you get other draft capital, if they 115 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: can help you swing for another player, if it can 116 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: help you look, because I really truly believe they need 117 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: a bona fide number one wide receiver that they can 118 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: go to and they can count on. And I like 119 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton. I don't want to be controversial. I don't 120 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 2: want him to go, but if I'm looking, if I'm 121 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: kind of reading it, perhaps that's the way that they go. 122 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: But I don't even want to say that. Now I'm 123 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: gonna be on record it's saying that, but I don't. 124 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: I guess that's the way that I would go. 125 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: I already tweeted it out, Adam, I tagged you in 126 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: it said that you want you want Sudden off his 127 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: team as as soon as possible. 128 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: I'm now sitting here. My love affair with Denver is 129 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: gonna be all for not. I feel horrible. 130 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Now, Adam, you have a lot of fans out here, 131 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: so thank you very much for giving us a few minutes. 132 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Enjoy the week. 133 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: Hey, I just want to say, first of all, let 134 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 2: me just say sincerely thanks to everybody who supports Denver 135 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: and all that stuff.
