1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: We head out to the Kae Comma Spirit Health Hotline

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: to bring on Bronco's Pro Bowl Left Tackle Lost, saying

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: that Garrett Bowles, Gara Bowls, and Kowe Sports is presented

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: by Kodiak Building Partners and the Kodiak Foundation together creating

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: meaningful change with seventy two to charity Mery. Christmas, our friend,

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: I hope you had a nice Christmas. Early to win

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: helped and then the happy New Year.

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 2: How are you?

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm doing good, brother, How are you doing?

10
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: Fantastic?

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Obviously excited about this season, the regular season finale.

12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys are as well.

13
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: But before we get into that, going back to the

14
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: Christmas Night game, what were some things you felt like

15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: the offense can take away from that game?

16
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? Number one is we sustained drives in that game.

17
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we didn't score the points that we

18
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: wanted to, but it was promising to see that once again.

19
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 3: You know, in our in our division, you know, every

20
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: division is a robbery, and so you know, sustaining long

21
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 3: drives and wearing out the deepense like we did the

22
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: ending up scoring our game winning touchdown is what we're

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: capable love doing, you know, Obviously the Chiefs. The record doesn't,

24
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: you know, dictate the type of players that they have

25
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: on their defense. They still had all their starters obviously,

26
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: you know that that defense has won three super bowl

27
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: so you know, it was definitely a challenge for us. Obviously, No.

28
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Number ninety five Chris Jones, he's a freaking nature so

29
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: we had we had to get him tired and wear

30
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: him out. And I thought, oh, the Lion played great. Obviously,

31
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: you know, we want to clean up some things, but overall,

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: I thought we we played a good game to win

33
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: that game for sure.

34
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Is it four drives of fourteen plays or more? I mean,

35
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: just really incredible. And we talked about it before Thursday night.

36
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Games can be kind of a little bit weird, a

37
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: little bit different because it's a short week for everybody.

38
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: But to sustain those drives, you brought that up.

39
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: To sustain those drives, that's got to be something, especially

40
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: as an offensive lineman.

41
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: You can be very proud of, no super proud of.

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, you know we want to put more

43
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: points on that, and you know, yeah, we should have

44
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: scored more touchdowns and thinks of that, but we controlled

45
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: the game and we knew going into that game that

46
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: we had a we had to sustain long drives, we

47
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: had we had a you know, put points up early,

48
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: and we did that, and obviously, you know touchdowns will help,

49
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: and yeah, everyone wants us to score, but at the

50
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: end of the day, we're winning, and nothing better than winning,

51
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: especially on Christmas. That was the best Christmas gift that

52
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: we can all ask for us is winning that. And

53
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: then obviously, you know on Saturday, clinch in our division.

54
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: So a lot of look forward to a lot of

55
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: great blessings that we received this year and a lot

56
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: of great things that are happening this year, and you know,

57
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: we're one step closer.

58
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: To our goal, no doubt about it. Man.

59
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: So look for a moment on Saturday when you guys

60
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: found out your AFC West champions, you won the divisions

61
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the first time. Obviously since you've been here in Denver,

62
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think I've tried to get

63
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: you to reflect a few times over the course of

64
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: the year, but of course you're in.

65
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: The midst of playing a very important season.

66
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: But in that moment, just for just a brief moment,

67
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: you have been here with this franchise.

68
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: You've seen the ups, you've seen the downs. To win

69
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: the division for the first time, what I feel.

70
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: Like, it was great. I mean, obviously, you know, I

71
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: haven't won this many games since I left to the

72
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: University Utah, so you know, being able to win, being

73
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: able to win the way that we're winning, you know,

74
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: obviously the eleven game win streak and then it broke

75
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: when we played Jacksonville. But to win again, and you know,

76
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: obviously I would have loved to been in the locker

77
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: room and and been with my teammates and you know,

78
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: to put on the hat and tea shirt and not

79
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: just have it in the locker, you know, on Monday

80
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: when we got back into the building, But to be

81
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: able to to do that, you know, I called coach

82
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: Streets and we talked for about five ten minutes, and

83
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: you know that it was just it was a special time,

84
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: you know. And obviously, you know, me and Courtland texts

85
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: each other and we shared some words, and you know,

86
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: we did it and and I definitely let out some

87
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 3: hurles and probably woke up my neighbors. But it's all right.

88
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: I'm just very grateful, man. I mean, it's it's beyond

89
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: you know, it's about time that we got this done. Obviously,

90
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: we wanted to do this a lot sooner, but we

91
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: knew that we have the right culture, the right coaches,

92
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: the right players in the building, and the sky's the

93
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: limit for this team. It truly is. This is a

94
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: special group of dudes that I've that I've been around,

95
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm excited to be around. And it makes going to

96
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: work every single day so much better when you have

97
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: good dudes that are humble and hungry and it's all

98
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: about family and ball and that's truly what our team is.

99
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: And we all got each other's.

100
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Back perfectly, said Gara Bowles, joining us here as he

101
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: typically does on Tuesdays at this time.

102
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: So let's get to this game coming up on Sunday. Again.

103
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: We keep adding goals.

104
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: I love that Sean Payton, coach Payton has done that

105
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: where you guys say we want to win the division,

106
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: but now you can add another goal, the second goal,

107
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: which is to have the number one seed in the AF.

108
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: See, this is a big game.

109
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys view it as such and also

110
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: a division game. So in your opinion, what kind of

111
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: goes into finding way to get a win here?

112
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: You know, just it's going to come down to the trenches.

113
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 3: You know, our d lin's humble and hungry. Obviously, you

114
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 3: know they're all lines banged up a little bit, but

115
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 3: we don't care. We don't care that Justin Herbert isn't playing.

116
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: We don't care if Cleil Mack or whoever doesn't play.

117
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: We're here to play whoever wants to play us, and

118
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: we're going to punch them in the mouth and do

119
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: whatever we can to get this first seed. And that's

120
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: been our goal, that's been our demeanor, that's our attitude,

121
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: and obviously it's going to be a you know, a

122
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: gut to the bunch if we don't, you know, a

123
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: punch the gut if we don't, if we don't finish

124
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: our goals, and it's completely up to us. You know,

125
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: we have everything in front of us. Obviously, you know

126
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: we got humbled when we lost that game against Jacksonville,

127
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: which is exactly what we needed. And we know what

128
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: we need to do and the sky's the limit for us.

129
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: I know Coach Payton's going to put a great game

130
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: plan together. The old line is going to be humble

131
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: and hungry and ready to dominate the line of scrimmage.

132
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: And if we do that, we keep bow fresh, we

133
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: get our playmakers open, we create some running lings. It's

134
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: going to be a long day for them, and I'm

135
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: excited to see what happens.

136
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: We are too, no doubt about it.

137
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Last couple here for you, man, really appreciate the time

138
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: as always, uh for the running game. And again, I

139
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: know we're focused specifically on this game, but where do

140
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: you where do you feel like the running game is

141
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: at currently? You guys got one hundred and twenty eight

142
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: rushing yards against the Chiefs last Thursday. There's been some

143
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: really nice bright moments with r. J. Harvey, Julian McLoughlin

144
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: still has a lot of burst with that running game.

145
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: But it does feel like something that you guys are

146
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: going to want to continue to, I don't know, focus

147
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: on as we get to the postseason, because most of

148
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: the time it's said you want to have a very

149
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: good running game when you're in the postseason.

150
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean anytime that you're you know, one hundred

151
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: and twenty yard plus in a game, is I mean

152
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 3: you're wearing out of defense. I mean that's truly what

153
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: it is. And you know our demeanor, Let's get this

154
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: team in the fourth court and see what happens, and

155
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: nobody wants to play us in differ. That's truly what

156
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: it is. And you know, I don't. They can say

157

159
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,160

160
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,320

Speaker 3: we want to do. And you know, I like where

162
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: our run games at. I mean, if we're averaging, I

163
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: don't know what six or where are we at five

164

166
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 3: their guy. I mean, that's really what it is. We

167
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: we sustain our drives, we get on fourteen fifteen, sixteen seventeen,

168
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: play drives, and then all sudden we score, We control

169
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: the clock and we make them tired. So that's our

170
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,040

173
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: I know, you know, divisional game is gonna who can

174
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: be on the field the longest to keep off the

175
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: other offense off and we got to do that. Our

176
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,480

177
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,680

178
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,520
