Uh, watch plenty of films, saw some NFL football. 55 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: Watched what was that game? The Rams and the Niners 56 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: game with with at least one I saw. 57 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: You know, I think the. 58 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 3: NFC has got They've got several teams, like I mean 59 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: several really that you could say right now. 60 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: You don't want to. 61 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 3: I mean could that could that team or that team 62 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: or I think there's more than three make it to 63 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and I'd say maybe. But the Rams 64 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 3: are definitely one of them. I think three in that 65 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 3: division alone, that was definitely one of them. I think 66 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: Philly is definitely one of them. I'm not so sure 67 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: that that Green Bay. You know, I think they got 68 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 3: to get a little bit better offensively. But I you know, 69 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: if they get games at home in Lambeau in January, 70 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: would it shock you if they beat somebody? 71 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: No. 72 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: I think the NFC has got four or five teams 73 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 3: that are really tough. 74 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 4: I think the title chase goes through the NFC West 75 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: with the Rams and his was crazy. 76 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: Uh what Kyle Shanahan is doing in San Francisco with 77 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: a beat up roster and. 78 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 4: A former first round drafted quarterback who's now a backup. 79 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: It's phenomenal and yes, and coach when you think about 80 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: coach of the year. To me, he's definitely one of 81 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 4: those guys. And the other guy, Shane Steiken. 82 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: Very impressive. Like you said, I think that entire vision. 83 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: I mean with Arizona. 84 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: Would you take Mac Jones over Daniel Jones, you of 85 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: the Jones family? 86 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: What a good question. It's not a good question the answer. 87 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, would you would take Mac Jones over Daniel Jones? 88 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it would. 89 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: It's why you're wearing a half cut November. 90 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: What come on, man, how do you justify I. 91 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: Think Mac Jones is a better quarterback. Joe's the last year. 92 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: You don't Dale Jones are. The last two week has 93 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: not looked good. 94 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: Mac Jones look. 95 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 2: That everything This last game was just sort of tough. 96 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: But he is buying large. 97 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: He's job. I think. 98 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 3: I think, really Mac Jones this year is an indication 99 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: of what really good coaching, creative coaching can can be 100 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 3: at the NFL level. 101 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 4: Actually, then that's why I say, well, Kylee Shahan should 102 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 4: be in a running for Coach of the Year based 103 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 4: on how good. 104 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,119 Speaker 2: There's a lot of words, Dave to say that Ryan 105 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: was right about Mac Jones all along, but that's yeah, I. 106 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: Don't I don't know that that actually came out of 107 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 3: my I didn't hear that, and I get big enough 108 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: ears that usually they don't miss what I say. If 109 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 3: you wanted to say that, no, I don't know. I 110 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 3: really no, I really didn't want to say that. Okay, yeah, 111 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 3: you got a better chance of convincing me to order 112 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: a pumpkin latte spice, what is it, pumpkin? Yeah, you 113 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: got a better chance of me ordering one of those 114 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: than yeah. 115 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: So oh would it take for Mac Jones to Because. 116 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: This was I think Jones season. I think he's a 117 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 3: solid NFL quarterback. I think can you win some games 118 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: with Mac Jones? I think you can. I have never 119 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: felt like he was a guy I thought he got overdrafted, 120 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: and I've never felt like he's a guy that if 121 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: you said, hey, we're going to get Mac Jones and 122 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: he's going to be our franchise guy for the next 123 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 3: five or six years, I would not be that excited 124 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: about it because mag Jones. 125 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 4: And I understand why, because seeing Mac Jones is almost 126 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 4: like seeing Trevor Simeon from me, there's nothing that really 127 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: jumps out and stands out like especially if you're preparing 128 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 4: for him defensively, where he said, well, we have to 129 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: stop this one thing that he does best, and I 130 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 4: guess that was kind of the biggest issue with him. 131 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 4: One thing that helped him come out of the draft 132 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 4: is that Nick Saban was his head coach. 133 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: You know, he was well coached and he played at Alabama. 134 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 4: But obviously, you know, coaching really determines a lot or 135 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 4: how successful any player. 136 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: But especially at that position is. 137 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 4: And it's a testament to what Kyle Shannanhan once again 138 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 4: is able to do because you take a guy who 139 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 4: doesn't have a great abundance of skills, but you still 140 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 4: make him productive and serviceable. 141 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: Speaking of coaching, Brian day Ball unfortunately no longer with 142 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 2: the New York Football Giants. 143 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: Yep. 144 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: That was you know, quickly on a more macerel perspective. 145 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: And I was talking to Grant about this before the show, 146 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: and I think we've talked about this before. David bothers 147 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: me to no end how he continually put first round 148 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: quarterbacks paired with coaches on the hot seat Inevitably, there's 149 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: gonna be bumps during the course of the season. You're 150 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 2: gonna move on from said coach, and then you're gonna 151 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: reset the quarterbacks development. Now, hey, you're not gonna get 152 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson every single year, so good for Caleb Williams 153 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: to get him into second year. But that's another example 154 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: they hired. They drafted Caleb Williams to a team that 155 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: already was on the fence about their coach. Trevor Lawrence 156 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: has had two resets. First Urban Urban Meyers. Kind of 157 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: a weird one, right, but he's had two resets since 158 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: he's been there. Mac Jones is the guy that had 159 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: many resets. Daniel Jones had resets. It's just one of 160 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: those deals where I never understand why we as a 161 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: league continue to do this and drafting these high end 162 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: quarterbacks to coaches that may not be there by next. 163 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: Yell, I'm sure you do. 164 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: I mean, the reason they're drafting those quarterbacks in the 165 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: top five to ten picks is because the teams are bad, 166 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: and if the team is bad, usually the first change 167 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: that an owner will make as the head coach. I mean, 168 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 3: there's no what other I mean, how would you I 169 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: think what you say is true until you say, I've 170 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 3: never understood that. What how would you change the system. 171 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: I'm just saying from an organizational standpoint. 172 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: How would you? 173 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: How would you change if you're let's say, who will 174 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: I mean, who had the first pick. 175 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: In the draft this last draft Tennessee. 176 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: Okay, if you were in Tennessee, had had a new 177 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: coach and they just fired Yi and you were, and 178 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: you were and you. 179 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: Weren't sure about obviously they weren't sure about Callahan Callahan. 180 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 181 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 3: So you're the owner, you're the Adams family and family, 182 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: you're the Adams family, and so you've got the first 183 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: pick of the draft and you have Callahan, Bryan Callahan. 184 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: You're not sure about him, and so you do in 185 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 3: order one, two or three things? What are those three things? 186 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: I'm probably reseating the coach if I'm concerned at all 187 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: about him, saying no, we're going quarterback. This is an 188 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: organizational decision. When you're taking a quarterback that high. Is 189 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: an organizational not a coach. 190 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: Not a fire the coach before the draft. 191 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would. Okay, if I'm on the 192 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 2: fence at all about him, ok then I'm firing the coach. Now, 193 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: if you if you believe in him, then you got 194 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: to give him a year or two to figure it out. Now, 195 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: then you're sitting right here in the it's maybe it 196 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: is a bit of a catch twenty two. I'm not sure, 197 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,119 Speaker 2: but I'm just saying that. And then there are examples, 198 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: like I said, Trevor Lawrence with Urban Meyer is like 199 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: that one of like, well, yeah, yeah, you had to. 200 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: I mean Sam Darnold was drafted to the Jets. I mean, 201 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 3: how's he How's he doing now? And you know, back 202 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 3: when we did the show with Al Al said it. 203 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 3: I know I've said it before. Not every coach in 204 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: the NFL is the right guy. Just because you're an 205 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: NFL coach, does that mean necessarily that you're great at 206 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: coaching ball. 207 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: No, not necessarily. 208 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 3: It does not. 209 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: You think you think it does, but it really doesn't. 210 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: I think it goes back. 211 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 4: To the GM and head coach because if you feel 212 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: as though the head coach is on his way out, 213 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 4: you get a little input from him, but it's the 214 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 4: GM and the ownership that makes a decision because you've 215 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: already decided he's not gonna be here regardless. And usually 216 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 4: when you're drafting a quarterback in the first round, that 217 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 4: means that obviously your team didn't do well the year before. 218 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 4: So chances are if things don't go right with the 219 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 4: young quarterback, as they often don't do, someone's gonna get fired, 220 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: and it's usually the head coach. I'm surprised that Joe 221 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 4: Shane wasn't fired as well, Yeah, because this was part 222 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: of his doing too, as far as the personnel leading 223 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: up to this point, because remember they had a decision 224 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 4: to make. You had Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley. They 225 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: let Saquon Barkley skape, and hearing the audio and the 226 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: conversation between Joe Shane and sa Quan told you everything 227 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 4: you needed to know, and they said, well, we're gonna 228 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 4: take the quarterback over the running back, only to watch 229 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: a guy in your division go to the Super Bowl 230 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 4: and win it and almost rush for two thousand yards 231 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 4: in the season, and you still got rid. 232 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 2: Of Daniel Jones by the way, seeing Daniel Jones, and 233 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: I do agree that he has been better, and I 234 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: think you made some great points there seeing Daniel Jones 235 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: succeeding the way he is. I wonder how Joe Shane 236 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 2: feels about that. 237 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 4: He feels bad because you know what it's like, is 238 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 4: like Mike Tannebaum once told me when we played the 239 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 4: Jets here, and he said to me honestly that every 240 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 4: year that I played and I played well made things 241 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 4: look bad for him as a decision maker. Because in 242 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: my third year, going into my fourth year, they had 243 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 4: an opportunity to Jets to sign me back, but they 244 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 4: felt as though they can get two more players for 245 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 4: the price that they were paying me. Guess what, it 246 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 4: didn't work out, right, didn't work out. 247 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: So Brian Davile was gonna be fine. 248 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: He's gonna find another job because he's great at developing quarterbacks. 249 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 4: He was just unfortunate he didn't have enough time with 250 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 4: Jackson Dart to really see it come to fruition. 251 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: And it's tough for Dart too. 252 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 4: Because he's going to get another coach that comes in 253 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 4: who's going to have another vision of what they of him. 254 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: One of the textas points out also Josh McDaniels with 255 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: Drake May. That's that's Drake May second coach now that 256 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: he's worked with. I mean, things are better there and 257 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 2: it does work out. I'm not saying it doesn't work out, 258 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: and it's a reason why not to stay with a 259 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: coach that you don't believe in. But simultaneously you're resetting 260 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: that development process. You know what I was thinking about 261 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: as was watching football yesterday and you saw both the 262 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: Colts win and the Patriots win, is about where the 263 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: Broncos currently sit at eight and two compared to these 264 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: other two eight and two teams. Like, well, when you 265 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: and you can even take the whole AFC, but just 266 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: in general, Dave, when you think about the eight and 267 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: two teams there at the top of the draft or 268 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: at the top of the standings right now in the AFC, 269 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: the Broncos did it too. How do you how do 270 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: you sort them out? Like, what do you think the 271 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: Broncos if they if they were in the season right now, 272 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: how would they be looking at As far as a 273 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: playoff team? 274 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: I think the Broncos would be a dangerous opponent to 275 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: play because of how their defense is played. 276 00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: Now. 277 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 3: I'm not of the mind that the offense is not 278 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: going to get better. I know there's some some Broncos fans. 279 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 3: I understand the frustration, I really do, because they were 280 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 3: not good the last game. 281 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: But but I don't. 282 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: I'm not of the mind that the offense is going 283 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: to be like this for the remainder of the regular season. 284 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: I'm just not so with that in mind. I think 285 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: the Broncos ad the best defense in the league. I 286 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: think it's a defense that you can put on a 287 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: plane and take anywhere and you know what you're going 288 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: to get from them. And I think I think they 289 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 3: will figure things out. Are they going to be a 290 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: juggernaut offense this year. Probably not, But I do think 291 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 3: they're going to figure things out to the level of 292 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 3: being able to stay on the field and sustain some 293 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 3: drives and find ways to score points. I think the 294 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: coaching is too creative and good, and I think the 295 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 3: play I know there's some people that are out right 296 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 3: now in bo Nicks. 297 00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm not one of them. 298 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: I really, I'm really not, and I'm not I'm not 299 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 3: taking the house side here because I'm the play by 300 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: play voice of the team. I think this is a 301 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: good young player that is going through what a lot 302 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 3: of young quarterbacks go through, especially in this second year. 303 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 3: You're gonna see some ups and downs in quarterback play. 304 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: I mean, Aaron Rodgers going to the Hall of Fame, 305 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 3: of course, without a doubt, how'd he look last night? 306 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: I mean the lea the league is, you know, is difficult. Defensively, 307 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: you're you're gonna And I think this is just the 308 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: growing pains of a young quarterback and a coaching staff 309 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 3: trying to figure out, like, okay, what do we have 310 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: and how can we maximize this thing. It's not it's 311 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 3: not a constant ascension at that position. 312 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: In the NFL. 313 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: Nobody starts his rookie season at quarterback and they just 314 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: kind of do that until they get to the top 315 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 3: of the leaderboard and then they retire. 316 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: See all this all that, Yeah, it is a roller coaster. 317 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 4: But I don't know if Aaron Rodgers is the best example, 318 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 4: because Aaron is on the back end of his career, 319 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 4: so his skill set is diminishing. And then right now, 320 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: in that offense in Pittsburgh, their primary receivers are two guys, 321 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 4: DK Metcalf and Pat Frinmo, so they need two more 322 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 4: wide receivers to help him out. 323 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. 324 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 4: That's where it's different from a guy like both Knicks 325 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 4: and Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Those guys have athleticism 326 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 4: and they have youth on their side, and Aaron Rodgers, 327 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 4: while he has not never been in the category of 328 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 4: Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, to me, he's still he 329 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 4: can't move around and that presents a lot of challenges 330 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 4: for Pittsburgh. 331 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: No, I agree with everything he said. 332 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, my point in bringing Aaron Rodgers up is, I 333 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: mean the greatest quarterbacks in our game are going to 334 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 3: experience either a game or stretch of games or a 335 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 3: season where it's like, man, oh man, what happened here? 336 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 3: What do you know? What do we doing? So, yeah, 337 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 3: Bo's got to play better. I think those around him 338 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 3: have to play better. 339 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: And the guys. 340 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 3: Designing things and creating things and calling things, they got 341 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 3: to be better too. You you gotta, I mean, you 342 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 3: got to look in the mirror and you have to 343 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: you have to take ownership of what part do I 344 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: play in this situation? 345 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: And if you do, then I think they got a 346 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: chance to improve. 347 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 4: So with that being said, would you be on part 348 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 4: with simplifying the offense? Not to say that to simplifyfy 349 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: it that bog doesn't have the football IQ, Yes, but 350 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 4: it is the fact that there's too many things swrolling 351 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: around in a young man's head, missimplify because I don't 352 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 4: know about you guys. There's nothing I've seen from this 353 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 4: office that tells me, Okay, at the end of the day, 354 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 4: they hang their hats on this. So to me, you 355 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 4: gotta start with changing up the foundation, because you're. 356 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: Right, I'm right there with you. 357 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: Bo has received a lot of unfair criticism from national 358 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 4: individuals who two weeks and three weeks ago were same individuals. 359 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 4: We're putting him in the same category as John Elway. 360 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: Now they're same. 361 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 4: Well, Coach Peyton now thinks that he is growing impatient 362 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 4: with Bau. 363 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 3: I'm like, well, when the hell said that? Yeah, I 364 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 3: agree with you. That's you and I both know this. 365 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 3: That's that's just the nature of the beast. When you 366 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 3: play in the NFL, especially a quarterback or as a 367 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 3: head coach, in any players, but those two in particular, 368 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 3: those two positions, you got to get criticized, sometimes unfairly. 369 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 3: And Bo he didn't play well against the Raiders. There 370 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: were other guys that didn't play well against the Raiders too. 371 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 3: I think that what's going to be interesting, And yes, 372 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 3: to your point, Nick, I think you got to get 373 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 3: him settled in the pocket. It was the first game 374 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 3: calling games this year where it struck me as like 375 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 3: he's not he's not seeing things and he's hesitant to 376 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 3: throw the ball at times, and he has been he 377 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 3: hasn't been that way. 378 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: So I'm always of. 379 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 3: The mind when you get your main guy that experiences 380 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 3: that as a young player, you go back and try 381 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 3: to just go back and work on the basics and 382 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 3: sounds crazy like in the NFL, No, you got to 383 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 3: work on your footwork, you got to work on the 384 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 3: timing of the routes. Are you seeing this and try 385 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 3: to make it? You to me, you have to give 386 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 3: him something early in this game Sunday against Kansas City 387 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 3: where he has some success where it's like hits a pass. 388 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 3: It's like, because that settles young guys down right. What 389 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 3: you don't want to do is come out and go 390 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 3: three and out twice in a row, because then the 391 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 3: fans are going to be up in arms, and then 392 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: that just increases that angst that really competitive people and 393 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 3: he's one of them have and they you know, he's 394 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 3: a he's a guy that wants to achieve, like in 395 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 3: the worst way, and for young players. I mean, I've 396 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 3: sensed that about him, so getting something that he can 397 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 3: kind of sink his teeth into and has some success 398 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 3: early in that Kansas City game. 399 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: And it's going to filter the rest of the team 400 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 2: absolutely immediately. 401 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah. 402 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: If he's confident, they're gonna feel confident. 403 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 3: I mean, can you imagine if they went down and 404 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: scored in the first possession against the Chiefs, what that 405 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: would do in Nick's a defensive guy, to that defense. 406 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: Is like, oh, okay, let's go. 407 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 3: I mean that just confidence is such a powerful thing, 408 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: and it exists at every level of football, even in 409 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 3: the NFL. Some fans say NFL players they have confidence, 410 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 3: they don't ever lack in confidence. That's not true, especially 411 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 3: young guys. 412 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: All right, Rob early here on a Monday five six 413 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 2: six nine zeros or KWA Comma Spirt health text line 414 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: will come back.

Yeah, 424 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 5: I think it would. 425 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 3: That's why you're wearing a half cut shirt November. 426 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 2: What come on, many family.

Like? 436 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 3: I think they're both really good athletes? 437 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: Agree. 438 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 3: I'm not sure who wins a foot race between the two. 439 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 3: I think Bo, but I think it would be close. 440 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: Well, I just assumed you just agree with me. That's all. 441 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 2: That's why I was looking at you. 442 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I like Daniel Jones. 443 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I figured you That's what I'm saying.

I mean, 471 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: I don't even know where to start with that, but 472 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 2: that is like football players are tough this is this 473 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 2: is on another level for me. 474 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 3: Well, I think I think where you start is that 475 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 3: how lucky Alex is that they they found that through 476 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: that test. But I agree, I think men, you know, 477 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 3: we we've talked about this so long, men are not good. 478 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 3: Women are a lot better at this and making sure 479 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: that you you know, you heed warning signs and that 480 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 3: you take care of yourself and get to the doctor 481 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: and all those things. So I think the good news 482 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 3: is evidently from the report they found that early. But yeah, 483 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 3: I mean, tough, tough dude for sure. 484 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 4: I don't know how he mentally processed everything, because that 485 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 4: is my biggest thing. You find out, you tell your family, 486 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 4: you go through those emotions. Oh, by the way, there's 487 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 4: a Thursday night game that everyone is watching. It's a 488 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 4: game that obviously you need to win to stay ahead 489 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 4: of everyone else, and you go out there you still 490 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 4: play mentally, that is something And there's a lot to 491 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 4: be said about, you know, Alex Singleton and the reason 492 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 4: why I connect with Alex because our roots go back 493 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 4: to the CFL and being able to cut our teeth 494 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 4: and grind in that particular way. So I know what 495 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 4: type of player that he is and He's never He's 496 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 4: not one of those players that, no matter what's going 497 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 4: on in his life, he's not going to abandon his teammates. 498 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 4: It's almost like that military concept, like the Marines. 499 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: Always say, well, never leave a man behind. 500 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 4: That was probably on his mind his mindset, and I'll 501 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 4: say this as well for Alex it may have proved 502 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 4: beneficial for him to play in that game because it 503 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 4: takes his mind off of what he's actually going through. 504 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 2: Well, he actually said that today. So not only did 505 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 2: he do all that you set up in front of 506 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: the team this morning and told all of them, but 507 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 2: he also did a press conference today with the media 508 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: and said that exactly those exact words, said that he's like, 509 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 2: I was actually glad that it was a short week, 510 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 2: that we had a quick turnaround and that I could 511 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: just not have my mind on it and go play 512 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: Thursday night and then have the surge around front of it. 513 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: I think he's having his best year coming off an 514 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 3: ACL injury of last year. I think there were some questions, 515 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 3: legitimate questions as to how quickly he'd recover, and once 516 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 3: he recovers, sometimes guys it takes them another half. 517 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: Year to a year. 518 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 3: Even though they're out there playing before they look like themselves. 519 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 3: He's not been that guy. He's I think he's had 520 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 3: his best year for sure. And I think also NFL players, 521 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: to their detriment, at times, have an ability to compartmentalize, 522 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 3: where you know, that's just there's so many things going 523 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 3: on in your life and they're important things, but now 524 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 3: you've got to put those aside for X amount. 525 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 2: Of hours and you got to go do your job right. 526 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 3: So and that's where I mean sometimes that I said 527 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: sometimes to their detriment, I mean, you need to address medical. 528 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 2: Stuff and stay on top of it. 529 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 3: And that's not only for NFL players that that's for 530 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 3: men in general. 531 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 4: You know, it's funny that we have in this conversation 532 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 4: because when we look at how former players, especially in 533 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 4: the NFL, not any other sport, how we transition out 534 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 4: of the sport, it seems as though NFL players have 535 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 4: the most difficult time doing so. And talking about Alex 536 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 4: just kind of, you know, put that at the forefront 537 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 4: of my mind. Like when you're playing, anything that's going 538 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 4: on in your life, you can kind of escape it 539 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 4: by playing the game. And it's only when you retire 540 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 4: you don't have that escape anymore. You can't dive all 541 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 4: into the game itself as a way of reading yourself 542 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 4: of what's going on. I guess in real life. I'm 543 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 4: giving you air quotes here. But it was good that 544 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 4: Alex found out early and he was able to have 545 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 4: the game and his teammates and have them kind of 546 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 4: rally around him with them knowing this information, those who 547 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 4: did during the game, opposed to us on the outside, 548 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 4: who had no idea until we. 549 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: Were just told. 550 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: I know, pales in comparison to what he's going through. 551 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 2: But he's not going to play in the game on Sunday. 552 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: He already told us that, and he wouldn't really say 553 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 2: beyond that. He's obviously going to work on healing up now. 554 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 2: Drake Greenlaw played in sixty two percent of the snaps, 555 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 2: so he seems like he's ramped up pretty well. Is 556 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 2: that going to be him and Justin Sternot, I mean, 557 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 2: just for a moment on the on field, what we're 558 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 2: expecting this Sunday. 559 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it will be. I think 560 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: it'll be Dre and Justin. And again I'm not sure 561 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 3: sort of how vance Joseph will attack this Chiefs offense. 562 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: With what they like to do. Kansas City is not 563 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 3: a great running team, but they're a team that will 564 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 3: spread you out and try to get their athletes isolated 565 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 3: on people that they feel like they have an advantage. 566 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: And that's that's going to be I mean, that's a 567 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 3: test for the entire Broncos defense. I think the back 568 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 3: end of the defense has to find ways to make 569 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 3: Mahomes hold the ball a split second longer than he 570 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 3: wants to early in this game. I think the ball 571 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 3: comes out quickly, screens, short passes, passes the back I 572 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 3: think they I mean, I think Andy Reid will say 573 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 3: we're not going to stand back in the pocket early 574 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 3: in this game and let those edge guys and that 575 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 3: front tee off on our quarterback. The ball is not 576 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 3: going to be there by the time you guys get 577 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 3: there and say hello. So the back end in the advance, 578 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: I mean, they have to understand what that means and 579 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 3: how do you go about trying to defend that mentality. 580 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: Of the Chiefs. 581 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 4: I think what you're saying is absolutely right. But this 582 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 4: is going to be one of those games with that 583 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 4: being said, because the pass rush for Nick Benito and 584 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 4: Jonathan Cooper have been sensation even with Zach Allen being 585 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 4: able to beat double teams. 586 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: Yep. 587 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 4: So now you're going to have to if you'd achieve 588 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 4: quick game. Well, here's an element that comes off the 589 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 4: quick game. Double moves, and they have several guys who 590 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 4: have this speed and the capability to give you one 591 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: cut and get in vertical. So the defenders have to 592 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 4: be great with their communication because it's going to be loud, 593 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 4: but you. 594 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: Have to be great with your eyes. 595 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 4: All it takes is one explosive for the Chiefs to 596 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 4: kind of create that separations and put a lot of 597 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 4: pressure on the Broncos offensive score. 598 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 2: All Right, before we hit traffic here in just a moment, 599 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you about Juji Lewis, Dave, get 600 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: your thoughts on how he performed twenty two thirty five 601 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: to ninety nine two passing touchdowns. I thought, from an 602 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: accuracy standpoint, from a pois standpoint, I really liked some 603 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: of the things I saw. 604 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: I thought he looked. I thought it looked really good. 605 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 3: I mean, he'd be someone that I would be excited 606 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 3: about moving forward. Right building up there just a matter 607 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 3: now in today's college football game, you know you got 608 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 3: to make sure you keep your guys. 609 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 2: How do you keep them? 610 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 3: But I thought, really, for his first extended playing time, 611 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 3: he's played before, but not an entire game, I thought 612 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 3: he I thought he handled himself really well. 613 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: I absolutely agree. I mean it started out a little 614 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: bit rocky, but I think they could have done better 615 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: with the play calling a little more runs early on. 616 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,959 Speaker 2: It seemed like they wanted to feature him early, but 617 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: as they settled in, he got better as the game 618 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 2: went on. And of course the question came up for 619 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: a lot of fans as I was watching it on Twitter, 620 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: as I typically do, why wasn't he playing all along? 621 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 2: I I don't have an answer to that one. 622 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 4: He probably wasn't really ready to step into the moment. 623 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 4: I think the bigger question is, with Juju playing in 624 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 4: three games, he has one more game before he burned 625 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 4: his red shirt? 626 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: Did you sacrifice it? 627 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 4: Knowing as though the CU buff team is not going anywhere? 628 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: I say, don't. 629 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 4: I'll put Ryan Stobb and Kyten Salter in and just 630 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 4: hold on to Juju. 631 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: Mm because he's got because he played in He's already 632 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 2: played in three, so he gets one one more, just 633 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 2: one more, and then he loses his red shirt. I'd 634 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 2: play him. 635 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 3: He can play in one more right, Yes, I would 636 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 3: sit down with him and his family and say, hey, 637 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 3: here's what we're thinking about doing. But I would I 638 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: would do the best I could to get buy in 639 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: from Lewis and his family in terms of what does 640 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 3: the rest of the year look like, and oh, by 641 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 3: the way, what's next year look like. 642 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 4: I would rather have him long term than these last 643 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 4: two games at the season. 644 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 3: But you got to make sure that he he I 645 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 3: agree with you, Yes, those are the two choices, but 646 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: you got to make sure that he's not thinking, no way, 647 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 3: I'm getting out of here. 648 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 2: I guess just very quickly. From a recruiting standpoint, if 649 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: you can finish on a bit of an upswing, especially 650 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: at the quarterback, I think you can sell that to recruits, 651 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 2: and especially if you know he's coming back. 652 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: But you could just sell the last game to him. 653 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: You don't need the last two to sell them to. 654 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: You, don't think so. 655 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 3: No, you got to be able to sell that he's 656 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 3: coming back though. 657 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: That's true. 658 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: That's to me, that's the key. 659 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 2: Alex Singleton played an entire game and I'm talking every 660 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: snap on defense with testake your cancer that's that's that's 661 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: humbling to think about the mind, the mental fortitude to 662 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 2: do something like that. 663 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 4: You know what it reminds me of when John Madden 664 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 4: was alive. You know, obviously you get all these All 665 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 4: Madden teams, but it was kind of like a All 666 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,239 Speaker 4: Madden Iron team where you get those guys that no 667 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 4: one was really talking about, but they did all the 668 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 4: grunt work. 669 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: He would be one of those particular. 670 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 4: Players and sometimes, like like fans don't really understand and 671 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 4: comprehend the game from a player's standpoint. 672 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: To know if you are dealing with. 673 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 4: Any physical issues, let alone emotional issues and taking those 674 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 4: into games and still having to perform your job at 675 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 4: a high level, and it's just say for the sake 676 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 4: of argument, things don't work out and you're still dealing 677 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 4: with that. That's a tough haul to carry because I mean, 678 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 4: I didn't stuffer for acl, but I saw, well, I 679 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 4: suffer a torm meniscus where my bones. 680 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: Kept shifting in and out. 681 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 4: I don't know how well, I'll say, I don't know 682 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 4: how I did it, but it was only through the 683 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 4: grace of God because the moment it happened, Ryan, I say, Man, 684 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 4: I never really called on you for a lot of things, 685 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 4: but I need you right now to help me get 686 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 4: through the game. 687 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: And miraculously God came through. 688 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: Remarkable. I you said it earlier, how athletes were able 689 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 2: to compartmentalize a lot of these things, and you almost 690 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 2: have to, right, You almost have to be a master 691 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 2: at compartmentalizing because if you aren't, then you allow a 692 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 2: lot of the dremlins into your head. Right you think 693 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 2: you could get hurt or if you are heard, and 694 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: how that's going to impact you. Just kind of have 695 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: to mentally focus it in. And you brought it up earlier, 696 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: and like I said, Alex said the same thing and said, hey, 697 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 2: it was great to have a short week. I was 698 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 2: able to get the diagnosis on Monday, work really hard 699 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 2: on Tuesday, Wednesday, go out and play Thursday, and then 700 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 2: have the surgery on Friday, and again approaching it like 701 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 2: an normal week as if that's what's just the job is, 702 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 2: when almost anybody else might buckle under that kind of pressure. 703 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 2: I have a lot of respect for that. I have 704 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 2: a lot of respect for what that is. And you know, 705 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 2: on a more macro level, for a second, I know 706 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 2: what he means to a lot of the guys in 707 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 2: that locker room, and they're gonna be thrilled when he 708 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: gets a chance to come back onto the field here 709 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks. 710 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 4: You know what else, the Broncos are gonna get somewhat 711 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 4: of an emotional boost on Sunday. You're playing against a 712 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 4: rival who you haven't really beaten in a long period 713 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 4: of time. And then your leader, the green dot of 714 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 4: your defense, is going through something like that, and he 715 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 4: played through it on the Thursday, right, So every step 716 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 4: they're gonna be uber charged up defensive, every stabs to 717 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 4: go out there and do something. And I know the 718 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 4: one guy that I'm excited to watch on Sunday, it 719 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 4: is Drake Greenlaw. Yeah, he's never played in this game, 720 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 4: in this series against this team, and knowing as though 721 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 4: there's a dude in your room who will not be playing, 722 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 4: and you can lead the charge for that, that dude's 723 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 4: gonna be Man, he's gonna run through. 724 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: A couple people. 725 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 2: I can't wait, Yeah, I can't wait. And again, he 726 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 2: played sixty two percent of the steps they've been bringing 727 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 2: him along. But that that's very exciting to see. And 728 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: so it's the right time. I guess if you're gonna 729 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 2: have this situation pop up right where you're gonna miss 730 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 2: you Alex Singleton, for it's already positioned. 731 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: That's kind of. 732 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 2: Thin, right, just Drew Sanders is not back, and it's 733 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 2: just sort of what it is. Every year, there's gonna 734 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: be a position or two that you're gonna be a 735 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 2: little thin at. That's the one right now for the Broncos. 736 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 2: But with dra kind of ramping up, it feels like 737 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 2: it's ready for him to go ahead and play most 738 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 2: of a game. Justice Surna has shown that he has ability. 739 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 2: He played limited snaps against the Raiders, so he's the ability. 740 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 2: He can be a starting caliber inside linebacker. Maybe not 741 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 2: the high end guys, but he's rock solid for what 742 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 2: you need. And then you got a couple of backup 743 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: guys that kind of rotate in and I think overall 744 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 2: that you're gonna feel You're gonna feel pretty fine there. 745 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 2: Plus and he probably won't have PS two back for 746 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 2: this game, but you you know as a defense that 747 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: you're going to get him back here relatively soon too. 748 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 4: But this is a great opportunity for Justice Schernard because 749 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 4: remember when Alex was out with the knee injury. 750 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: It was Cody Barden and Justice Stranad, Yes. 751 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 2: That sure it was. We got Ian Roppenbort join us 752 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 2: next
