1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: We got football on the other side of all of this.

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: Of course, a big game coming up on Sunday for

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and the Colts. We'll probably get to that

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 2: here in a little bit, but I want to ask you, David.

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: I didn't get a chance to ask you this earlier

6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: in the week. Sean gave the guys the full week off.

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: You like that, I mean, it is what it is.

8
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: But did you ever get a whole week off?

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: I don't think so, But I would say the way

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 3: they've played and where this by week comes, and I

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: think I think coaches usually have a pretty good sense

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: on like what their teams need, whether they're I mean,

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: you're you're going to be physically tired, You're going to

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 3: be beat up, but I think maybe just to kind

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: of recharge your battery and get away from it. I

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: was a little bit surprised they got the whole week,

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: but I'm you know, to me, he knows better than

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: anybody what the sort of the temperature and the pulse

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: of his team is.

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like a pulse kind of thing. Did

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: you ever get a full week off? Nate? I'm trying

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: to remember if we had to come back the next day.

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: I think we might have done something on Monday and

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: then had the rest of the week and then come

25
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: back the following Monday, have Tuesday off, and then a

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: regular week. But I think Mike Shanahan's subscribed to a

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: similar approach. Let's let these guys get out of here now.

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Of course they do the speech before that. Yeah, don't

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: do anything stupid, you know, take care of yourself, take

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: care of your body. Go have some fun, but you

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: recharge your battery. But don't go so far away from

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: the game mentally that you can't get back. And I

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: think that's the risk there, because it's like the objects

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: in motion tend to stay in motion thing. Yeah, of course,

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: and that week back, when you get back, it's it's

36
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: rough that first day back when you're when you're you know,

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: they will probably run you a little bit. You're a

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: little bit out of shape. And some guys probably don't work,

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, don't touch a weight for the week, and

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: some guys do, and so you have to recalibrate a

41
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: little bit. So it is a little tricky. But I

42
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: think Sean Payton has a good finger on the pulse.

43
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: You might have a little alcohol oozing out of your pores,

44
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: you know whatever. People do different things during the break,

45
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: I was looking at I was looking around the room

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: and that lazy eye.

47
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: You know how that works.

48
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: I do wonder though, and this was a conversation I

49
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: had with Zach before the show. What can you accomplish,

50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: I say, from a coaching staff standpoint, as far as

51
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: adjustments or things you want to do in the second

52
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: half or in this case, the final six weeks, Like

53
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: what kind of especially if the coaching staff also took

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: the week off, maybe you're not doing a lot.

55
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: I guarantee you that did not happen. Okay, I guarantee you.

56
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm listen. I've never coached in the NFL.

57
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: I'm a high school coach, but I would think that

58
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: they will use some of that time to go back

59
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: and self scout, to look at with a critical eye

60
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: what they've done, what they've done, well, are there any

61
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: tendencies that we need to sort of break right? They'll

62
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: run all sorts of analytics. Hey, what you know, what

63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: is there a formation that we use more than not

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: on the right hash once we're in plus territory on

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: third down and eight or more I mean down to

66
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 3: sort of that that kind of detail. So I think

67
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: that's important. But you also, I think, and I think

68
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: a lot of head coaches are good at this, and

69
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: maybe some aren't. But you got to make sure your

70
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: staff is ready to go. I mean, I think you

71
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: have to be eminently aware of I mean, these guys

72
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: grind during the week. You know, they get in an

73
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: old dark thirty and they leave and it's dark forty five, right,

74
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you get in as dark as you go home.

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: It's dark.

76
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: But I think you got to, you know, for this

77
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: playoff push now, you want to make sure that staff is.

78
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Re energized and focused and ready to go. Yeah, there's

79
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: such a psychological approach to it too, not just X

80
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: and o's. And it helps to have an analytics department

81
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: that's crunching those numbers and coming up with some of

82
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: those scenarios that Dave just mentioned. You know, it doesn't

83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: have to be the coaches, you know, going through that

84
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: film and figuring out what works and what doesn't in

85
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: these certain formations. They can get handled a piece of

86
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: paper right and figure it out. I mean, the Broncos

87
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: do a lot of the different stuff personnel wise, so

88
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: are they looking at what was working from the different

89
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: groups we're putting in and maybe gutting out some of

90
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: the stuff that wasn't But the psychological approach not just

91
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: to the players, but the coaches, everybody in that building.

92
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna need everybody's best shot going forward. So how

93
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: do you get that you know, and keep everybody on

94
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: the same page.

95
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this one more on this,

96
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: and then I do want to ask you about last

97
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 2: night's game, because boy, that Broncos win over the Texans

98
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: now looks way different.

99
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: I think in retrospect.

100
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: But if you are Sean Payton and you're taking a

101
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: look at what your offense did here in the first

102
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: eleven games of the season, and you're thinking about in

103
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: terms of what you want to accomplish in the final six,

104
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 2: what are you thinking about like And again we're putting

105
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: ourselves inside his brain, which is maybe a bit scary,

106
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: but I'll just say, like this, when you say, well,

107
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: I gotta get better at run or you know some

108
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: of these route concepts, maybe we need to get the

109
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: ball out of.

110
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Bonix's hands a little faster.

111
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: What are some thing that you think he's seeing that

112
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: he's like, okay, well we can do this right now,

113
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: or are things that we're going to be looking on

114
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: the offseason.

115
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: You mean from a from a scheme standpoint, Yeah, that's

116
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: a that's a hard question, honestly.

117
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: I mean, we I consider up here in act, like

118
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: I know, I mean, I would have ideas in terms

119
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: of how I view what they do, but I don't

120
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: necessarily know for certain that would be how Sean would

121
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: view it. I would look at that and say, we

122
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: have to be more efficient running the ball?

123
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: All right? How how how do we do that?

124
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: You?

125
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they like their offensive line.

126
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: Their offensive line has graded out well the entire season,

127
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: both in the run game and the pass game. And

128
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: yet now without Dobbins, the run game is going to

129
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: be a little bit different, all right? How do we

130
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: how do we carve up carries between these backs?

131
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: Who are the backs?

132
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: Is Tyler Badet, who really was not in the sort

133
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 3: of the rotation against the Chiefs, is he back in

134
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: the rotation? Do we think Julie who I thought ran

135
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: well in limited opportunities against Kansas City, is he sort

136
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: of a wild card now in this run game? But

137
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: I think you know, you look ahead and unless we're

138
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: assuming they're going to make the playoffs, and let's say

139
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: you're playing into January, whether unless you go to Houston

140
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: or Indy, I guess, I mean, whether could be a factor,

141
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: could be a factor here, could be a factor in Baltimore,

142
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: could be a factor in Kansas City, could be a

143
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: factor in.

144
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo, although they won't have to go to Kansas City.

145
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: But you have to have the ability, I think to

146
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: and it can be in a really creative way.

147
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: But you got to be.

148
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: Efficient in the run game, and I just I haven't

149
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: felt like they've done that consistently.

150
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's going to be it's going to

151
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: be an issue for them to figure out exactly what

152
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: Dave's talking about. JK. Dobbins. The loss of him is

153
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: a tough one because remember Champagne already had to write

154
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: run it on his play sheet last year. It's to

155
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: remind him to run the ball. His tendency is to

156
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: want to throw the ball. But they went to Buffalo

157
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs and got absolutely pushed around

158
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: because they or able to establish that running game. Playoff

159
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: football is more so about the running game than the

160
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: regular season is. I would also say, you know, if

161
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: they're going to self scout some of the stuff that

162
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: they've been doing. Sometimes it seems to me that they

163
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: don't set up the things that they're trying to accomplish,

164
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: Like the double pass thing that they did with RJ. Harvey.

165
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: They did a toss to. They don't do a lot

166
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: of tosses at all, but they've tossed it out there. Well,

167
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: things look weird unless you set them up. Let's run

168
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: some tosses first. Let's run the things first that we

169
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: want to play off of. And I feel like sometimes

170
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: Sean is quick to want to do the thing that

171
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: plays off of something he hasn't set up yet. And

172
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: so sometimes the first quarter, second quarter woes the Broncos

173
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: have had to me is because you're not setting the

174
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: precedent with an attack. Let's just come off the ball

175
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 1: and attack. Whether it's running the football, whether it's direct

176
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: passing game, quick passing game, Let's come off the ball,

177
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: make look everything look exactly the same, and then as

178
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: the game goes on, we can build off of that.

179
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: When we get guys turning their hips because they're afraid

180
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: we're going by them, We're afraid we're going this way,

181
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: and so you know that's what I'm looking at. Yeah,

182
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: but he's a last smarter than I am, that's for sure.

183
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: He'll be the first to tell you as well. I

184
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: mean that with all due respect.

185
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: Did you back and forth with the media like after

186
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: the after the Wind the Kansas City with Chris Thominson

187
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: when he was asking about JK Dobbs question, he is, uh.

188
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: I would I would say that that was a little personicity.

189
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: All right, Well, here here's the just in case people

190
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: missed it, here's Chris Thominson asking about JK Dobbins.

191
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: Sean, what can you say to us about JK Dobbins

192
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: his injury situation? And if she updates, I'll keep you posting.

193
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Is the after the season updates, I'll keep you posting.

194
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: And then just next question with the running game to

195
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: next question? Your thoughts on the running game? Thought it

196
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: was good, good enough?

197
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: See but in fairness and that and that that was

198
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: short and he fired back.

199
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: But here here's the deal. And we all love Chris.

200
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 3: The head coach, which has made it clear multiple times

201
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,479
Speaker 3: I'm not going to answer any injury questions.

202
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: He has said that like three or four times. Yes,

203
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: So when after a game.

204
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: Even a big game, a big win, you fire with hey,

205
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: what can you tell us about the JK. Dobbins injury?

206
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: I mean his eyes light up like that horse out

207
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: there right in front of d I A what's his name? Oh, Blucifer? Yeah,

208
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, do you see those eyes but

209
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: you do not want to look into It's.

210
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: Like Lucifer fell on the dude that created it and

211
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: killed him, right, I believe so I've heard that. Is

212
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: that true? It is true? I think that is true,

213
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: and his son finished the job.

214
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

215
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to have a seance in this mug.

216
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you're right. He has been very clear

217
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: about that.

218
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: I mean, do you know you know, you know you're

219
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: being on his corn flakes when you asked that.

220
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: It's just like, but what on ir the day before? Like,

221
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: you're right, but also that's it's relevant?

222
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: Is it?

223
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: In that moment? So they just beat the chiefs and

224
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: JK wasn't out there, and he's not going to be

225
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: out there. Why are you asking about JK dobb Chris?

226
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: But come on, man?

227
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: And I think sometimes Sean has has sort of singled

228
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: down Chris and I feel bad for Chris, But on

229
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 3: this one, I'm like, bro, you know You're about to

230
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: get slapped up around the head several times?

231
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: What do you what are we doing here? Did you

232
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: hear his interaction with Luca Evans. It's worth hearing.

233
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: It is absolutely their quarter touchdown drive just looks like

234
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: it looked like you guys were moving quicker.

235
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: A little bit more of that temple question. Let's go

236
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: what you called? Did you did you run? Did you

237
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: did you go?

238
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 4: I don't know.

239
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: There were two, there were two, there were three plays.

240
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: Basically we kemboed one. I felt sometimes you hurried to

241
00:10:53,400 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: beat maybe a challenge, and so anyway, next question now, yeah,

242
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: to say too much. Absolutely, it was about to get

243
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: into this like U next question, next question.

244
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's like he knows is coming, and yet he's

245
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: still like, god, you people, we can't pull questions.

246
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: But he also mentioned in that in that press or

247
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: that the narratives you know, around town, the way people talk,

248
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: the things people talk about, Yeah, they hear it, you know,

249
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: and it bugs them. And and he he he instructs

250
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: his players not to mention it, not to talk about it,

251
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: but you guarant they talk about it in those meetings.

252
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: They have to talk about it. I've been nothing but

253
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: effusive in my praise.

254
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: So I know.

255
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: Specific you got your picture up at the facility. They're

256
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: they're thrilled that I am carrying as much water. No,

257
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm not so much. They can't be. I picked them

258
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs.

259
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: I picked them to win all of these games are

260
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: in the streak, and including the Philadelphia game, I picked

261
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: them to win that game.

262
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 3: Next time you're out, like on Friday, next Friday, the

263
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 3: open open locker room, let me know how that goes.

264
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: That's like, is that in my head on a dartboard?

265
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: Really?

266
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: It was like I didn't realize that was that big.

267
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't think your public enemy number one. No, no, no,

268
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't think so. No, it's got to be a yeah,

269
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Last night, I do want to

270
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: ask you, man, what so?

271
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: First of all, as I said, the Broncos went over

272
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: the Texans in Houston, I think suddenly looks more impressive,

273
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: especially when you watch with Buffalo who Josh Allen was

274
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: sacked eight times.

275
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: Here is the final tally.

276
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: Eight sacks, twelve quarterback hits, eleven TFLs, two interceptions of force,

277
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: fumble and a fumble recovery. Wow, that's what the Texans

278
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: defense did to the Buffalo Bills offense. So in retrospect,

279
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: I'm very I'm even more impressed with the way the

280
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: Broncos were able to win that game. Who do you

281
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: feel like you learned more about last night? Five Texans

282
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 2: or Bills? Like?

283
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: Who do you?

284
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: Oh?

285
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: What do you think you learned more? I mean the Bills.

286
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: I think you always have to not qualified, but you've

287
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 3: got to be realistic when you look at a game

288
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: like that. I mean, Buffalo was missing a couple pretty

289
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 3: good receivers, Dalton Knox, me and one of them. But

290
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: I mean we knew Houston. I mean Houston's front four.

291
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: Houston defensively does not do a lot of crazy things,

292
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: but they just line.

293
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: Up and get after you.

294
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: Right, And if you if you can't run the ball

295
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: on Houston, then and you're gonna you're gonna drop back,

296
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 3: whether play pass or whatever, and throw the ball forty

297
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: five times. You know your tackles are gonna hate your

298
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 3: play caller. So and I thought Josh, I thought Josh,

299
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: and he even said after the game he ran himself

300
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: into a couple of sacks. Right. But I think Houston,

301
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Houston's a good team. I mean

302
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: that that would be I think for anybody in the AFC,

303
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 3: Houston in the postseason would be a big challenge because

304
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: of that defense.

305
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they looked relentless. I mean that was pretty impressed

306
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: of what they were doing, especially along the front. They're

307
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: eight sacks? Is that what shege?

308
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: Eight sacks, eight sax, twelve quarterback hits, eleven TFLs to

309
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: interceptions in the fulm eleven TFLs.

310
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Hello, Yeah, I mean the offensive line not playing a

311
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: great game. There no people talking this today about the

312
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: Houston Texans having the best defense in the league, but

313
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. We saw, Yeah, we

314
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: saw the Broncos go toe toe of them and looked

315
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: like the better defense out there, right And Pastor ten

316
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: was he playing in that He's not? And the Broncos

317
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: beat him and look better on defense and had the

318
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: offensive performance that the Bills couldn't muster against that defense.

319
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: So I think it makes the Broncos look pretty good.

320
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills were the team that stomped on the

321
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: Broncos in the playoffs last year. They don't look like

322
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: the same team right now. Yeah.

323
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: I do want to ask you guys, about that, and

324
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: we've talked about sort of the course of the week,

325
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the Bills, the Ravens kind of not looking

326
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: like the upper echelon teams were used to seeing. They

327
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: don't look as dominance. And that doesn't mean that they

328
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: won't show up in the postseason. It's just as we're

329
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: sitting here right now, the Ravens look like they have

330
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: their issues. Certainly, the Chiefs look like they have their issues,

331
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: and the Buffalo Bills do as well. But I don't

332
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: want to ask you about defenses and like what sort

333
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: of is the hallmark of the greatest defenses at the

334
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: time or whatever? Because Texas fans been in I mentioned

335
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: all night. I did this to myself though because I

336
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: tweeted about it. But maybe all night telling me how

337
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: great their defense is compared to the Broncos and how

338
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: much better their defense is compared to the Broncos. And

339
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: is there They're qualifier, of course, is scoring defense. Like

340
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: they're saying, hey, this makes us the best defense because

341
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: we allow the fewest points.

342
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think points allowed is a is a

343
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: big stat for a defense overall. I mean the Broncos

344
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: a couple of games early both of those games on

345
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: the road against Indianapolis and the Chargers. They gave up

346
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: whatever was twenty eight or twenty nine against Indie and

347
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: in the twenties against the Chargers. I think both those

348
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: defenses are I think Houston has the most comparable defense

349
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: to the Broncos when Certan is playing.

350
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Houston has two.

351
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: Corners that are really good, and when Pat plays, the

352
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: Broncos have i think at the best corner in the game.

353
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: And I'm still a guy that thinks Riley Moss is

354
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: a really good player in this league. So I like

355
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: the safety play of the Broncos more than I do

356
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: of the Texans. So there's not a lot to pick

357
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: from between those two. I think, you know, you know,

358
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: going in you better find a way to slow down

359
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: those two edge guys. Well that's exactly what you say

360
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: when you play the Broncos too.

361
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the numbers are pretty comparable with those two defenses.

362
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Texans give up sixteen point

363
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: five points a game and the Broncos are seventeen point five.

364
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: It's point point It's almost negligible there and yard it's a.

365
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: Big deal to Texans fans. I'm just gonna let you know,

366
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: for all the ones that I mentioned these days.

367
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: Well, when they went head to head, the Broncos were

368
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: the better team. This is what I said. I said,

369
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: fire back on them, right, yeah, right, four board exactly

370
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: if Flasher wu Tang's oh well, I think it was

371
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: confusing to every way go ahead.

372
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: It didn't work either way. Let's just put it that way.

373
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 2: They're still screaming at me. But anyways, screaming on Twitter. Well,

374
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: you know you type in all caps caps, yeah, a

375
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: couple exclamation points and some emojis, the middle finger.

376
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, those guys, I did. I know you must have

377
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: really stirred them up. Well yeah, I did you live

378
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: for that? You absolutely live for that. Why are you

379
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: nodding along? Anthony? No? Living half your stuff?

380
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: Fair? But I say live forward is a strong way

381
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: to frame, and I think that I understand what the

382
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: medium is and I don't back away from potabi.

383
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: I thought it was for intelligent nuance to discourse. I

384
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: thought that's what Twitter was for. It's literally in the

385
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: byline Twitter or X or whatever they call these days. Yeah,

386
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: it's like intelligence discords. What did you say? I literally

387
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: tweeted a gift, that's it.

388
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 2: I didn't say anything else. I tweeted a gift and

389
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: they were unhappy about it.

390
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: Of a baby crying, Okay, so I can't imagine why

391
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: they would be upset with that.

392
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just just sort of a shrug, like I

393
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: don't know about that. Didn't go well, but I won't

394
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: gay with it. And now and now, Texas fans are

395
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: excited about seeing the Broncos in the postseason.

396
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see you guys again. Yeah, we're

397
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: gonna be So here's the deal. It's Houston.

398
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 3: It's Houston in a position now where they're they're going

399
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 3: to beat They're going to win their division. Jacksonville still well,

400
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: the cultu are still I'm sorry, the cults are still there.

401
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: So Houston really, unless Indianapolis collapses.

402
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 2: The best they can do is be a wildcard team.

403
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And Jacksonville is actually still ahead of

404
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: them at six and four. They're playing this weekend, So

405
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: it's Indianapolis eaton to Jacksonville six and four. Houston is

406
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: six and five. Houston's on the outside looking in even

407
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: without win, So who.

408
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: Are they right now?

409
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 3: The two wildcard the three wildcard teams for the AFC

410
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: would be the Chargers.

411
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: Bills, and Jaguars.

412
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 3: Those are three Okay, yeah, okay, the Chiefs are Chiefs,

413
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: and Chiefs better find a way to win Sunday.

414
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: This is kind of it, I mean, not mathematically right.

415
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: And I agree though that this is this is as

416
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: big a game as they they've had in a long

417
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: time for a regular season game. And I don't know, man,

418
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 2: Chiefs fans are talking again Internet, they're talking a big game.

419
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: But I think if you pulled them, honestly, there's a

420
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 2: little bit of a worry about their identity right now.

421
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: They can't really run the ball very well, not even trying.

422
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: Really.

423
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 3: How many teams have been to four consecutive Super Bowls?

424
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: The Bills I can think of, Yeah, I believe that.

425
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: I believe the Dolphins did the Patriots in the early seventies.

426
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: Did the Patriots go to four in a row? That's

427
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 3: a good question, may have to go by I can

428
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: look at them. Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's the

429
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 3: point of it is it's it's hard to do yeah,

430
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 3: I mean really hard to do.

431
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: Well.

432
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: This is a big game, as you as you talked about,

433
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: and I don't know, for a moment before we get

434
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: the break who you got, Chiefs or Colts.

435
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: I've not decided, but I would and I know, you know,

436
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: looking at stuff today and watching stuff listening, a lot

437
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: of people, people that I respect their opinions are leaning

438
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: towards the Colts because they can run it, their offensive

439
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: line is great, Jonathan Taylor is having a superior year.

440
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 3: But if you ask me today, I would lean Kansas

441
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: City winning that game.

442
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: I got the Colts, of course you do, which isn't

443
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: good news for the Broncos because you'd like you probably

444
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: like the Colts to lose.

445
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I actually think that it could

446
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: play out the best of both worlds if the Colts

447
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: win and knock the Chiefs kind of out, like out

448
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: of it, out of it. Yeah, and the Colts still

449
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: they have a tough schedule ahead of them. They got

450
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: to play the Texans after the Chiefs. They play the Texans,

451
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: they play the Jags, they play the Seahawks, they play

452
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: the Niners, they play the Jags again, they play the

453
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: Texans again. Wow, you get the Texans twice, yeah, and

454
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: the Jags twice. Yeah. Okay, so I think they're going

455
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: to lose a couple of those. And they got the

456
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: Niners and the Seahawks. I mean, those are some formidable

457
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: opponents there. As Gary Kubiak would say, we're fixing a

458
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: fine out. I can't wait for that. All right, we'll

459
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: write back. Okay, way was to watch, but plenty of football,

460
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. This was fun.

461
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: On the text line, please have Nate do some coach

462
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: Peyton impressions today.

463
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so look, listen relative to personnel groupings like that?

464
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: Pretty good? Pretty good? Right, that's pretty good.

465
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 4: Let me stop you. So look, so we're gonna that's

466
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 4: pretty good. Yeah, pretty good.

467
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: Every Friday, somebody, somebody texted says, all right, we need

468
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: it today, get fired up for the game.

469
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: It's easier, easier to do it when I hear him talk,

470
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: like when I listen to your guys' coach's corner right

471
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: after that, like when I actually hear him talk and

472
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: I could just kind of share it what he's doing.

473
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: But uh, very interesting voice. And look it's there's some

474
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: pauses when you know, and that kind of thing that is.

475
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: That's that's the best one I've heard. Pretty good. That's

476
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: pretty good. I wonder if Sean would like, can you

477
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: say Evan three times slowly? Evan Evan, my name is

478
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: Luca Hey. As you catch any b Nicks on Pat

479
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: McAfee today, I don't know if you.

480
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: Honestly, I usually watched the Pat McAfee show, but did

481
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: not get a chance to do that today.

482
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool.

483
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 2: So they had Dan Lanning on there in organ for

484
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: the organ USC game, which is going to be really fun,

485
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: high flying offenses, all that kind of bow up there getting.

486
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: Ready to go to the game. No, he wasn't, which

487
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: I thought he maybe maybe he may still go.

488
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: But they were interviewing Dan Lanning and then they brought

489
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: Bo Nixon and so he got tried to talk to

490
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 2: his old coach and that was kind of a cool

491
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 2: moment there, and then got into some Broncos conversations.

492
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: There was some really good answers.

493
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: He was announced about the defense and how great they are,

494
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: but there was the final question was Mike was kind

495
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: of my favorite, and he was sort of asked about

496
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: how close the group is and if that's sort of

497
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: contributed to why they've been able to close out so

498
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: many games this year.

499
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: Here's what he said, We actually do talk about how

500
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: close our team is.

501
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: We just got a lot of young guys I mean,

502
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 5: I think our oldest guys are year eight, year nine,

503
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 5: So we're just all in similar stages of life.

504
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes us close. But we also

505
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: know what it was like last year.

506
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 5: We know it was like to lose some of these

507
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 5: close games, and so we have turned some of those around.

508
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: We have had a better record in close football games

509
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: this year.

510
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 5: But I do think it just goes back to the

511
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 5: you know, the confidence and the belief of the team.

512
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: We believe that we and win these games.

513
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 5: We're not going up and you know, I feel like

514
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 5: last year sometimes we like didn't expect or didn't think

515
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 5: we were going to find a way to win at

516
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 5: the end. And then after a couple of those games

517
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 5: this year that went our way, we just kind of

518
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 5: felt like, hey, guys, we we got this.

519
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: We can win these close games.

520
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 5: We got really good defense that we can lean on,

521
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,239
Speaker 5: we got offensive playmakers that are gonna make plays when

522
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 5: time comes. And then Will's done a great job in

523
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 5: clutch time. And so when you look at our team,

524
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 5: look at how close we are, we just know what

525
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 5: it can be like on the other side. So we

526
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 5: don't try to get too focused up in the uh,

527
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 5: you know, the the narrative or the perception we that

528
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 5: can go so many different ways.

529
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: You're you're you're exactly right, and in the you know.

530
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 5: It's all about your the moment, and we get so

531
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 5: stuck in the moment where in a in another week,

532
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 5: people will be saying something totally different. So we try

533
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 5: not to get too caught up in the chaos of

534
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 5: of what's going on outside. We just try to you know,

535
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 5: live within our building and go to work every day,

536
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 5: find ways to get better that there's so many you know,

537
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 5: on clips or out there, that list of.

538
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: Things that we have to you know, grow and get

539
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: better at.

540
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 5: And I think that's also what's keeping us a little

541
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 5: bit urgent and hungry. We know we have these things

542
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 5: to get better at, and so we won't. We don't

543
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 5: really have times sit around and act like we've you know,

544
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 5: made it, because we really haven't. We're just you know,

545
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 5: we we're winning close games and that's what's put us

546
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 5: in this situation right now.

547
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, bo.

548
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: I kept that last part in it. That was such

549
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: a great response. Yeah, there's so much to take away.

550
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: I like the mindset shift from last year where they

551
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: he said that there were some games where they just

552
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: didn't expect to win or whatever.

553
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: And so they just didn't find a way to win.

554
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: And this year then they had a couple of those games.

555
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: So we messed the Chargers game in the Colts game where.

556
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 2: It didn't go their way, and they said, you know,

557
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: we could have won those games, and then they've just

558
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: shifted the mindset, so we will win those games.

559
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 3: Well, they're seven to two in one score games. They

560
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: were one and six last year. So and you and

561
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: I've talked about this before, and it's it's real. And

562
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: I think people that that may have never had the

563
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 3: oppor unity to play, certainly in the NFL or maybe

564
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: even in college or even in high school.

565
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: Confidence is such.

566
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: A powerful, powerful thing and people, you know, some people

567
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: would say, well, this is the NFL. I mean, every

568
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 3: one of those dudes has confidence. But I'm I'm talking

569
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: about something that you can't really measure, and I don't

570
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: know exactly where it comes from, but once you've seen

571
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: it and experienced it. I played on one team in

572
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: the NFL one season, I should say, and we experienced that.

573
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: We had so many come from behind wins and you know,

574
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 3: as three receivers, you know, I knew. If Ozzie knwsome

575
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: made a big play in a game, I'm like, damn,

576
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 3: I got to do something here to make something happen

577
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: at X and Reggie Rucker at Z and so we

578
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: just it just built and so we never got really

579
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: rattled that you might be down. We were down to

580
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: the Steelers, and those guys were world champions four out

581
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: of six years. We're down to them by thirteen at home.

582
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: I think going to the fourth quarter, we just knew

583
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: we were going to find a way to win, and

584
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: we did. So what bo is talking about, I think

585
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 3: is real. If you could find it and bottle it

586
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 3: and sell it at someplace, you'd own island. Yeah, I mean,

587
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: I mean you literally would be the wealthiest person in

588
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: the world because it is powerful stuff.

589
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: So when he's talking about how close they are, as

590
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: a coach who's coached so many years, you know, I'm

591
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: sure some teams the guys are closer than on other teams.

592
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: As a coach, do you try to facilitate that the

593
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: guys becoming close and becoming friends, Like, do you, you know,

594
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: try to get them together or encourage guys to hang

595
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: out outside or how do you as a coach, or

596
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: can you kind of push these guys to become closer,

597
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: to get to know each other better, to care about

598
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: each other more. Is there anything you can do or

599
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: is it just kind of you get lucky with a

600
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: group of guys that you have. I think it's a

601
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: little bit of both.

602
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: And I would say this again, my qualifier and something

603
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: like that is I always say, hey, I'm a high

604
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 3: school coach. You know, coaching in the NFL is different

605
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 3: because you're coaching grown men, young men.

606
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean you you.

607
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: I think some teams just sort of naturally sort of

608
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 3: lean into being a closer team. You try to do

609
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: some things that, at least in the high school level

610
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: that will get guys. I mean so like, for instance,

611
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: like on a road trip, when we've traveled a couple

612
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: of times, we have traveled, well one time, one time

613
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: this year. So you do the rooming list, and I

614
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: want guys. I want seniors at a certain position to

615
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: be rooming with. If there's any ninth graders on the

616
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 3: trip or sophomores, but not not in their not in

617
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: their comfort level right, not in their they're boys, Like

618
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: everybody has guys they hang with.

619
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: And I'm just closer to these guys.

620
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: I want those guys to get to know these guys

621
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: that maybe they don't interact with at all in the

622
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: locker room, right, and now you got to shoot, you

623
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: got to share a room on the road, and so

624
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: it's a it's a different thing. But I think one

625
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: thing that helps the Broncos this year so much is

626
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: that they're winning. Right.

627
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: It's a hell of a lot Nate.

628
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot more fun to go to

629
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: work every single day when you're winning like they're winning.

630
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially after you've gone Bo mentioned some of the

631
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: tough losses last year. You go through it together. You

632
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: experienced heartbreak together, You go through that adversity together, You

633
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: grow together, and then you you make sure that you

634
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 1: don't want to feel that again together, and you get closer,

635
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and sometimes you know, things like the Broncos

636
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: went on that to the Niners this preseason, right, and

637
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff went wrong on that trip. No,

638
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: but it was seventeen when the time I got roteen

639
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: after the game, when he got back, Yeah, three more

640
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: to the list. So those kinds of things, when things

641
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: don't go right, that's what actually, you know, you build

642
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: you build that camaraderie and they had to sit on

643
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: the tarmact for a bunch of hours or whatever. So many, okay,

644
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: we get closer. We went through this together and the

645
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: hotel was in the middle of right. Yes, you know,

646
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I enjoyed it.

647
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: Hey, I could still hear the rhythm about one thirty

648
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: in the morning. Oh really, yeah, just wake up many Okay,

649
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: that's pretty good.

650
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. That's really good.

651
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: Accident Studio, Ryan Edwards five six six niney zero is

652
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: our ka commas bird health text line.

653
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: Good text here.

654
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: The show is so fun, but one of the most

655
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: fun things for me is hearing the player's perspective.

656
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: You guys have done that a lot today. Yeah.

657
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: I mean when we have the players in studio, like

658
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: Nate Jackson or with Dave's here, we obviously try to

659
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: give you that as much as we can. Some days

660
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: are are more specific for that, and sometimes it's going

661
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: to be Ben and Ben is going to say things

662
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: that are just you know, self serving. Anyway, five six

663
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: six nine zero again is ur kaaway comments bird heal

664
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: tech side.

665
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: You know I think that both said on that sound

666
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: by it actually have some more Bonix tid to play

667
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: a little later on.

668
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: But one of the things that I thought towards the

669
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: tail end of it is they talk a little bit

670
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: about what people.

671
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: Say outside of the team and how well we might

672
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, we may.

673
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: Keep winning or may lose, and you know, we can't

674
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: really be sort of monitoring that or chasing it and

675
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: following the trends of those kinds of things. I thought

676
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: that was another kind of interesting point that he made.

677
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think this is probably a point of

678
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: emphasis that Sean Payton makes to the team fairly frequently,

679
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: because look, I mean, we live in a in a

680
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: hyper sort of reactionary and involved sort of media landscape

681
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: in which everybody has these phones. And when I played,

682
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: I didn't We didn't have I mean I had a

683
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: flip phone, you know what I mean, Like there was

684
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: no Internet on it. So I'm not seeing anything on

685
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: my phone other than the numbers of that, And so

686
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: you don't I don't hear anyone's opinion unless I'm turning

687
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: on the radio to a specific and I'm not, And

688
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: so you don't have to you don't get to see it.

689
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: You don't have to see any of it. But now

690
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: everybody has social media, and if then go viral and

691
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: they and you click on it once your algorithm says,

692
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: how about some more how about some more Ryan Edwards?

693
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: How about some more Ben Albright for you come boy?

694
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: Right?

695
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: Too much already? And so all this and and what

696
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 1: do you think Champayne's algorithm looks like? Yeah? And then

697
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: maybe if you you know, some coaches use some of that.

698
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. I think Champagne uses

699
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: some of it, yeah, to to gass up his guys

700
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: or to get him focused or whatever it is. I mean,

701
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 1: so this is this may be a stretch for me here.

702
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: But Adam Troutman after the after the game, had I

703
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: had a viral moment talking about, you know, Dragon Slayer

704
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: or whatever with eleven slurpy cups. Okay, Now, last year

705
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: Champagne had this kind of meandering press or moment after

706
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: practice or something. But but he said it was very

707
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: similar language about the seven eleven Slurpy cups. Okay, And

708
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: I think probably Sean Payton was the guy who stood

709
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: up in front of them and said, I don't care

710
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: about Dragon's Layer sixty nine and his seven eleven Slurpy

711
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: cups because Sean Payton liked Slurpery Cups. Okay, they matter

712
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: to him. He talked about collecting him when he was

713
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: a kid or whatever was. Yeah, you remember that, I do.

714
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden, Adam Troutman's talking about

715
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: seven eleven Slurpy Cups and he's been with and he's

716
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: been with nobody else I've heard. Well, I'm connecting the

717
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: dots here. Very good, very impressive, and I think that

718
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, Adam Troutman is a guy who came from

719
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: UH from New Orleans with him, So I think he

720
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: kind of echoes a lot of the He's there to

721
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: echo what Sean Payton says, not just you know, the tactics,

722
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: the routine. Here's what we're going to you know how

723
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: we do it. I've been there. I know what he wants,

724
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: but also his words, and I think that's what we

725
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: we're seeing is some messaging that's intended to get these

726
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: guys focused and to block out the haters. It's working. Yeah,

727
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is, And that's we talked about the pulse of.

728
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 2: Things earlier in the show, when we talked about giving

729
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: the team the entire week off. You got to have

730
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: that pulse, and you got to be able to push

731
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: the right buttons at the right time, and especially in

732
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: the midst of, you know, an eight game winning streak.

733
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: Now you need to be able to push the right

734
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: buttons to keep them motivated. There was another thing that

735
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 2: Bonick said, and maybe when we come back, I want

736
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: to get into that just for a moment, because he

737
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: talked about why they are still motivated sort of intrinsically

738
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: because they still haven't played their best football, and especially

739
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball. And I got

740
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: to imagine some of those coaching sessions, some of those

741
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: film sessions, will humble you.

742
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: And I want to get to that coming up next
