1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: We were watching some of the pregame festivities for Monday

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Night Football.

3
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 2: Here.

4
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: It's a big game obviously, really for both these teams.

5
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: If Indianapolis loses, it's pretty much done for them. And meanwhile,

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: I think I had this correctly. If Indianapolis loses, that

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: punches the ticket officially for Jacksonville. I know, the Chargers,

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: I think, because right now the AFC only has two

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: teams that are officially locked in. It's the Broncos and

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots. But the Colts losing would punch the ticket

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: for several I can look that up here in a second.

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: But it's a really big game. I don't know, Dave.

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: Before we get back to the Broncos. Expectations of Philip

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: Rivers in the second start.

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: I actually think you'll play pretty well. Yeah, yeah, I do,

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, San Francisco has had just an

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: unbelievable year when you consider how many injuries they've had.

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they've been decimated with injuries, and here they

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: are right in the thicket things in the NFC.

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: So I.

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: Expect the Niners to win, but it would not surprise

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: me if Philip Rivers plays pretty well unless Robert Salah

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: sort of comes out of character and wants to really

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 3: pressure him a lot. I mean, Salah is a guy

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: that likes to get to you with four and play coverage,

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: and I think Rivers, even at his age, is still

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: capable of being pretty good against that.

28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: Look how about you, Benny. I don't know how to feel.

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel like Philip Rivers is gonna play. Well.

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: He's forty four. He looks like he's about two sixty five.

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Look at him, I mean he looks sixty to sixty.

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: He's too big. He's been enjoying his time off. Now

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: sixty five that's insulting. He's got ten kids. Do you

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: think he's heavier than that? No, No, I'm just he said, no,

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I think about two sixty Oh yeah, two sixty five. Yeah,

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's too old. I don't know. I would

37
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: heat him up just to see if he can move

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: a little bit and try to escape the pressure. But

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: then also you know, he still has that type of

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: mind where he can diagnose blitzes and try to get

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: rid of the ball. So I expect the forty nine

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: ers to win, and you know, the Coats will continue

43
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: to lose and they'll be out of the playoffs, yere

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: pretty soon, Okay, but hold back now. Yeah, they're eight

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: and six. They have to win out to really even

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: be in the conversation for anything at this point. Well, Jacksonville,

47
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: they after being the Broncos yesterday, there they other sites

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: they think they can get to the one seed. And

49
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people out there that are sort

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: of picking the Broncos to fall apart down the stretch.

51
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: But we were talking about it the break twelve and

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: a half point favorites against Kansas City. That'd make a

53
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: little nervous.

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: They're Dave, No, okay, No, I mean, who's picking the

55
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: Broncos to fall apart?

56
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Oh a lot. I mean, I think, in fairness, there

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: are people that are waiting for this moment to pick

58
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos to the.

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: Most part, losing for the first time in three months. Yes,

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: that moment.

61
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: They've been quite literally waiting for a moment that it

62
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: all kind of falls apart.

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: Because I wouldn't be mad at Jacksonville if Jacksonville's talking about, Hey,

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: here's what has to happen for us to be the

65
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: number one seed. They obviously owned the tiebreaker with the Broncos, right,

66
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: they won their eleventh game yesterday, so they're eleven and four.

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: They can finish thirteen and four, which if the Broncos

68
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: would lose one of the last two, they'd had the

69
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: same they'd have the same record. So and again, from

70
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: a tiebreaker standpoint, there's so many different tiebreaking scenarios. I'm

71
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: not sure if you're talking about from the number one seed,

72
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: if it's if the first if the first tiebreaker is

73
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: head to head.

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: I'm not sure it is. Yep, yep, it is head

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: to head.

76
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: Soad.

77
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: So if the Broncos theoretically would would lose a game,

78
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: let's say they beat the Chargers but lost to the Chiefs,

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: so they're going to win the AFC West, they would

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: finish thirteen and four.

81
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: If Jacksonville won the last two games, who do they

82
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: play Jacksonville?

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: But then the Patriots. Of course at that point we

84
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: don't know where they're twelve and three right now, so the.

85
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: So Patriots would be the Patriot uh, and the Patriots

86
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: have the Jets and Miami. Yeah wow, so they're gonna

87
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: they're gonna be fourteen and three.

88
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: Who does Jacksonville finish with.

89
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: They've got the Titans, they got the coltson and the Titans.

90
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: Okay, so theoretically, at least on paper, they look like

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: they're gonna finish thirteen and four. So yeah, the bron

92
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, the Broncos need to win two games. They

93
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: win games, They're gonna win two games, that's it.

94
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: And they'll have the tiebreakers they need for not only

95
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: they have westbro it's the one seed if they win to.

96
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: They have the tiebreaker with the Patriots.

97
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: Yep.

98
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: The Broncos win two games, the Patriots cannot be the

99
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: number one seed. Yep, nor could the Chargers, nor could

100
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: Jacksonville because the Broncos have one more win the Jacksonville does.

101
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: So it's real easy to do. The Broncos need the

102
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: one seed. I mean, I think it really helps them.

103
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: I think it helps them have going to come here

104
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 3: and play. If you're I I would want to have

105
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: those two games theoretically in Denver rather than three games.

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: On the road. Yeah, going to Jacksonville is not much

107
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: of a home field advantage. You're pretty spicy today. I

108
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: like it. I mean, I don't know that that video

109
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: kind of got me a little wrapped up a little bit.

110
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

111
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: So, but yeah, jackson was the one with arcandidates or no, no, no, oh,

112
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: he celebrate, just like, come on, relax, but here's a

113
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: small market to you. What are you doing?

114
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

115
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: Here was a Votex after the game and he was

116
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: asked by Mike Cliff if this is a wake up call?

117
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.

118
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, it's tough to go on a twelve

119
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 4: game streak or eleven, which every one was, and then

120
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: you know, we got hit in the mouth today and

121
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: they played a good game, and you know we let

122
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 4: it get away. But you'd rather have it hit you

123
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 4: now than the first round the playoffs and you know,

124
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: going called a wake up call because we were playing well.

125
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: It's just one of those that'll.

126
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 5: Reset you and put you back and get you back

127
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 5: to you know, you know where you need to be.

128
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 5: It'll put you in a good mindset if you'll let it.

129
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 5: And you know, like I said, can't let this one linger.

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 5: You got to move on and attack this week on

131
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 5: just a short couple of days.

132
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so not a wake up calling it. I think

133
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: he's right in perspective of how well they've been playing.

134
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: But maybe a refocus is that probably a better way

135
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: to frame it. Yeah, I would say, yeah, reset, reflect,

136
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: refocus on what just happened in this game. I think

137
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: there were some good things and then I think some

138
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: things that need to be cleaned up in that can

139
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: be cleaned up, and that's what I expect. I expect

140
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: Sean to really harp on the details and let that

141
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: message go down into the assistant coaches, and the assistant

142
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: coaches really focus on that throughout the rest of this

143
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: week and the rest of the season in terms of

144
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: the details, because that's what matters in playoff games is

145
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: that's all the little things, all the small things, all

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: the little details, and that's what's got to happen.

147
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 6: And the Broncos got to be on that. And I

148
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 6: think it's going to start this week against Kansas City.

149
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: And you love that.

150
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 6: It's the fact that it's a short week against a

151
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 6: team that you want to finish out and you know

152
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 6: it's not a hat and T shirt game just yet,

153
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 6: but you know this is very important in terms of

154
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 6: the division, in terms of the playoff race, and the

155
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 6: utmost importance. You know, there's only two games left in

156
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 6: the regular season, so gets these things cleaned up and

157
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 6: cleaned up fast.

158
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, Dave, So we don't have a

159
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: lot on Chris Oladkin, who did play the preseason. He

160
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: played the preseason. I'm just kind of curious because he

161
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: played most of I think he played the entire second

162
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: half against the Titans, like eleven to sixteen, And I

163
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I watched a little bit of the game.

164
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: I watch more of it tomorrow, but as you watch

165
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: it because you want to see Kansas City just get beat.

166
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Might have enjoyed a little bit of that. But more

167
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: than anything, does the short week benefit the Broncos preparation

168
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: for a quarterback? We haven't seen a ton or is

169
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: it maybe a hindrance because you like to get a

170
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: little deeper dive.

171
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that'll be a factor. I think.

172
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: I mean, if if you're Andy Reid and you have

173
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: your third team quarterback playing on Christmas Night in a

174
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: season that you're out of the playoffs, you know, to me,

175
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: he's going to be uber aggressive. It won't be normally

176
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: in a in a game that maybe mattered for the Chiefs.

177
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: Maybe you try to manage it. Maybe you try to

178
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: get the running game going, some short passes. I mean,

179
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: you try to do those things. I think it's got

180
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: nothing to lose, so I don't I don't think whether

181
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: you play him on Thursday or Sunday. I think defensively

182
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: for the Broncos is going to be important that they

183
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: disguise things well, that they the pre snap look that

184
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: he gets is not really the post snap look of

185
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: reality and young quarterbacks and and and make him understand

186
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: early in the game that there's going to be color.

187
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: He's going to see a lot of color and it's

188
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: not going to be red. So that and obviously you

189
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: want to take away, take away the running game and

190
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: force him. But listen, I wouldn't be surprised if his

191
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: numbers are decent at the end of the game.

192
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: He's a pretty good athlete. He can run around a

193
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: little bit.

194
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: So you mean you got to go into this not

195
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: thinking like, oh, we're playing their third team quarterback and gosh,

196
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: we're twelve and a half point favorites. You got to

197
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: go in and saying, hey, we've got to make enough

198
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: plays in this game to find a way to win

199
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: and get our fannies back in the plane and come home.

200
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, don't take this game lightly.

201
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: There's nothing the Chief would love to piss off the Broncos.

202
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: And course make this a close game or even try

203
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: to win this game.

204
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 6: I think there could be some trickery in there, some

205
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 6: special teams trickery, and hey, how do we fake a

206
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 6: punt here?

207
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: You know, double reversus reverse pass. You know, they still

208
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: have talented players on that side of the ball, regardless

209
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. But I think this could be a

210
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: really simple game plan of let's just try to complete

211
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: some deep passes. And that's what the game plan was

212
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: against the Broncos early on in the season, Patrick Mahomes

213
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: trying to throw go routes on these guys. Hey, we

214
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: got Riley Moss and Patterer Tann. We're gonna try Riley

215
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Moss on these go routes and we're gonna see if

216
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: we can complete these things downfield. So I think, you know,

217
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: you'll get a lot of dancer routes or just go

218
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: routes on the outside, or some slant spacing and then hey,

219
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: let this guy be an athlete make plays. And yeah,

220
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean Travis Kelsey's gonna play. It's gonna be you know,

221
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: see what he does in the game plan.

222
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 6: But it's a short week and we'll see so but yeah,

223
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 6: I mean, now they're playing spoiler. Let's see if we

224
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 6: can just ruin the Broncos Christmas, which is a.

225
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: Weird spot for them to be in right, to not

226
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: have that experience for over a decade of playing spoiler

227
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: this late in the year. That's what's very curious for me,

228
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: because I agree with everything you guys said as far

229
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: as sort of the expectation if you're the Broncos coaching

230
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: staff of how weird this game might get from Kansas

231
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: City side of things, especially when you're playing with a

232
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: third string quarterback. Understanding how many guys are down, I

233
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: mean they have. They're at least four key players, Trip McDuffie,

234
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: Rachie Rice Taekwon Thornton and Jalen Watson all not practicing today,

235
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: and I think I mean too are in concussion protocol.

236
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: There's a reason to play Trent McDuffie at this point

237
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: if he's got any kind of ailing anything right. The

238
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: same thing with Jalen Watson's right, that's right, that's right.

239
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: I wouldn't play. Yeah, that's that's exactly right. So there's

240
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: there's a bit of a weirdness vibe to the whole thing,

241
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: especially the third string quarterback. But yeah, I guess if

242
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: you're the Broncos, you just got to kind of manage

243
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: that right and understand and play desperate. Yeah, yeah, well

244
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: you have to play desperate because you need this game

245
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: and you know this, You need this to win this

246
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: game for the division. So you know, I've been on

247
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: the other side before if teams that aren't going to

248
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, and for guys like myself and some

249
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: of those guys on Kansas City, you're playing for some

250
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: film right now, and if you can catch a pass

251
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: on passer tan or one of these number one defense

252
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: that looks good for you going into free agency and

253
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: to get resigned by the Chiefs or re signed by

254
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: the Broncos or Broncos practice squad in the future or

255
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: futures contract. So there will be.

256
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 6: Guys on Kansas City that were playing that are planning

257
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 6: for to continue and extend their career. So Investor believed

258
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 6: this is this is a great opportunity on Christmas Day

259
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 6: perhaps to have a day like Washington just had.

260
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: Against the Broncos, Like that's going to go.

261
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 6: You know, his agent is going to be using that like, hey,

262
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 6: I guess the number one defense my guy had six

263
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 6: catches for one forty five in a touchdown. You know,

264
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 6: that's what That's how I would be thinking if I

265
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 6: was on Kansas City right now. It's a great opportunity

266
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 6: to go against one of the best defenses in the

267
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 6: league and make plays. As the last game on Christmas Day,

268
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: one hundred percent. Going back to the game yesterday for

269
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 6: a moment, he just brought up Parker Washington, and Dave,

270
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 6: you and I spent all week last week previewing the

271
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 6: game talking about the different matchups, and you start with

272
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 6: Jacobe Myers, you start with you know, you get to

273
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 6: Bryan Thomas, go Brent Strange. We talked about Parker Washington,

274
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 6: but mostly as a special teams player at that point. Now,

275
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 6: in the end, I think the Broncos the actually did

276
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 6: a pretty good job overall on Meyers Strange. I mean,

277
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 6: Strange had the cup the touchdown, but Myers had four catches,

278
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 6: most of them coming in later. Strange hit five, Bryan

279
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 6: Thomas had two, and even at Travesity team out of

280
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 6: the backfield only had four for sixteen yards. So again,

281
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 6: I feel like for a lot of what the Broncos

282
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 6: were doing, and it kind of comes back to your

283
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 6: point about the intensity and the fact that they didn't

284
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 6: look like a team that wasn't trying.

285
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: There's effort. I feel like they did a pretty good

286
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: job overall. They just missed a couple of tackles. Is

287
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: it simple to boil it down to that on the

288
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball.

289
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if it's that simple, but I

290
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: think those things will be pointed out. And I think

291
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: at this time time of the season, I mean, you

292
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: got to make sure your guys feel good about themselves

293
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 3: going into Thursday night. The last thing you want to

294
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: do is get up and start tearing guys down and

295
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: ripping into guys. There's a time for that, and every

296
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: NFL coach has done it and will do it. But

297
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: to me, this is not the time. So I would

298
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: show them the film, right, I mean, if you're not

299
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: gonna watch it with the coaches whatever, But hey, ellas,

300
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: I mean, we just got to break down and make

301
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: a tackle, right. This is a quick out, speed, cut out,

302
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: five yard gain tackle, second of five or first down,

303
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. But we come so hard

304
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: and aggressive because we're not at that point situationally awhere, Like,

305
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: who is that that is the punt returner? You know,

306
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: he's got the goods, he's got shake.

307
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: You know it. So one broken tackle and he's off

308
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: to the races. So stuff like that. And then I

309
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: think i'd try to clean.

310
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: Up some of the communication in the back end, just

311
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: to make sure we're on the same page. Maybe you know,

312
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: in this game plan, maybe they played a bunch of zone,

313
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: bunch of zonne against Jacksonville. And you know, from time

314
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: to time when you've been a heavy man team, it's

315
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of a challenge to jump into

316
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: his own you're not quite as crisp as you could

317
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: be or or should be. And I think, again we've

318
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: talked about the defense, but I think there's there's things

319
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: the offense has to has to get cleaned up. I mean,

320
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: you know, false starts and you know, things like that.

321
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: You just you can't you can't.

322
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: Self detonate in an NFL game and expect to be

323
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: a good team.

324
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Sean was asked earlier today about the offensive performance on

325
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: third down, because they actually have been pretty good over

326
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: the last several games on third down, but yesterday was

327
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: another example. You're bad in the red zone for the defense,

328
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: and then an offense you had a hard time staying

329
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: on the field. Here's what he said.

330
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, look, there were a number of things watching the

331
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 7: tape that were disappointing. Guys trying to do more than

332
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 7: what they're supposed to do. And I think that it

333
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 7: comes back to the simple fundamentals. What's the read, what's

334
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 7: the progression, what's the route depth, what's the protection, and

335
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 7: and and not trying to not trying to create or

336
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 7: do more than what we're what's on the table. And

337
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 7: there were there were plenty of opportunities in that game,

338
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 7: and and we didn't take advantage of them.

339
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So he mentioned the fundamentals there. That's something that

340
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: you guys both touched on a little bit earlier. What

341
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: is doing too much mean?

342
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 6: I just think it's funny because I haven't heard any

343
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 6: of the you know, the press conference from today, but

344
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 6: you know, we talked about fundamentals, and it just shows

345
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 6: or it helps me just realize how much of you know,

346
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 6: NFL seasons and games are very similar. But when I

347
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: think about somebody when he says they're doing too much,

348
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 6: I think you're you're playing a little bit out of character.

349
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 6: And when I also think about that, I think about

350
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 6: the Broncos and just players not necessarily taking Jacksonville lightly,

351
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 6: but well, you you've probably been getting away with this

352
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 6: in other games. And he talked about route depth, that's

353
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 6: a fundamental thing, protection, being better with your feet. These

354
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 6: are all the little things that sometimes when things get

355
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 6: heightened or in the second half when you have to

356
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 6: come back, you start doing things that are out of character,

357
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 6: and you know that's you know, you have to correct

358
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 6: those things.

359
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: And as Dave was saying, you know, if he was

360
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: a coach, you know, you wouldn't be harping on guys

361
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: and just talking about how bad things went. You would

362
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: be like, hey, I would get a list of plays,

363
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: maybe ten to twelve plays, and like, hey, if we

364
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: fix this right here, this could be different on this drive,

365
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: or if we fix this right here, like we're this

366
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: close to that game being very different.

367
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 6: And that's what happens in most NFL games. It's just

368
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 6: you know these you know, Dave talked about it earlier

369
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 6: with me, these four to five plays on any given

370
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 6: driver in each half, three to four plays in each

371
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 6: half where you know, you know, things can go a

372
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 6: different way. But I love that Sean talked about the

373
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 6: fundamentals because I think That's what it all came down to.

374
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 6: I didn't think Jacksonville did anything where they schemed up

375
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 6: the Broncos in so many different ways that they took

376
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 6: the Broncos out of their game plan. I thought it

377
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 6: was more show on the Broncos. The Broncos beat themselves

378
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 6: in yesterday's game. What did you take away from what

379
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 6: Seawan said there, Dave, I would.

380
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: Agree with Benny.

381
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 3: I think there were you always have to kind of

382
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: read between the lines and listen closely to what a

383
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: coach says. Because Seawn's really good at at doing his

384
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 3: absolute best when he when he actually tells you something,

385
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 3: but he's gonna he's gonna try to couch it in

386
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 3: a way that you're not exactly sure. I think, you know,

387
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: maybe trying to do too much at times would be

388
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: a reference to Bo.

389
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: That would be how I would I would view that.

390
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: I think the the interception he through yesterday and Bennie

391
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: and I talked about it on the on the podcast,

392
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: you know that ball, that ball can't go there, and

393
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 3: and listen Bo's made I mean Bo's made some great

394
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: plays recently, right, last four games before yesterday, five touch downs,

395
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: one interception, so he's made good decisions. There have been

396
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: a couple of times the guys have had their hands

397
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 3: in the ball, but you know what that happens in

398
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: the NFL. But that throw in particular, I mean, you've

399
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: got guys open on the other side of the field.

400
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: So there's so many there's so many variables that go

401
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: into having a really consistently efficient offense. Right, eliminate your

402
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: pre snat penalties, which they did not do yesterday. Don't

403
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 3: get behind the sticks, which they did do a couple

404
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: of times. You got to be much better in third

405
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: down conversions. What I hear Sean say is that there

406
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: are opportunities to convert on third down. We didn't take

407
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 3: advantage of them. When receivers are running short on their routes.

408
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: To me, it's one of two things. Either a defensive

409
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: back got his hands on you, right and that will

410
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: throw off that clock that every receiver has, or you're fatigued, right,

411
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: I mean, if your f you're not going to get

412
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: all the time the depth you're supposed to get to

413
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: sixteen yards on the dig and your sucking air you

414
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: might get to thirteen.

415
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a big thing.

416
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: So all of all of those things I think sort

417
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: of factor.

418
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: Into the stew.

419
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: And you got potatoes and carrots and beef and everything else.

420
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 3: But yesterday just wasn't good enough by the Broncos on

421
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: either side of the ball. And I think they know that,

422
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: and I think they'll get enough of it fixed so they.

423
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 2: Can go to Kansas City.

424
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: You win Kansas City, you come back on Christmas night,

425
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 3: you will have forgotten about yesterday's game. You will be

426
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: onto the most important game, which will be the next game,

427
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: and that'll be the Chargers.

428
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

429
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos, you know, they had these little

430
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: details or little things that they missed. And I you know,

431
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: I agree with Dave on that that interception that can't

432
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: go there. You know, cover two safety right there. You

433
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: have nothing to hold the corner with a flat you know,

434
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: with a flat route or a quick out. Well, can't

435
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: you know it's covered too. You have the stick concept

436
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: to the to the other side, and evening's wide open

437
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: just to convert that force into you.

438
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: Got a one of those things.

439
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, parties something like that.

440
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 3: Is it like and I'm air quoting, is it a party?

441
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: I see what you're trying to do here. I'm just

442
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: asking swings and that is not is not that kind

443
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: of party for the last time. Okay, all right, it's

444
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: not going to be any food.

445
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: They don't have food at those type parties.

446
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: Have food at those type of parties. You don't want

447
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: the food at those type of parties, now that I

448
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: would know, and not that there's anything wrong with that,

449
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: just uh yeah, so the family you can swallow.

450
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, That's exactly that.

451
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: Such a wild quote for him to repeat that a

452
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: couple of times throughout.

453
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: The right and he was proud of it, and.

454
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: He was and again like it sounds like like this

455
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: two conversation way at a context. No, know that he

456
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: was talking about, Hey, we need to absorb this loss.

457
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: You don't think you can't swallow it.

458
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: No, it still sounds just as bad with or without context.

459
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I sort of get it. I was going

460
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: to ask you, Betty says you had experience with him

461
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: as your coach. What was he like in late season?

462
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: Like how did he coach the guys late season? Because

463
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: you guys had playoff runs late season. I was not

464
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: in the building. Oh, I had tore my rotator cuff

465
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: and later from Week eight Week nine, wasn't in there

466
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: to see all that. I joined some of the meetings virtually.

467
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: But Sean's a big theme guy. Is the tin guy

468
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: theme Like, what's the theme for this week? What's the

469
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: vision for this week? But yeah, he's always on the details.

470
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think he's actually any different from

471
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 6: a regular season game too early in the season until

472
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 6: later on in the season.

473
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: He's always going to harp on the details.

474
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 6: He's always going to try to have a certain vision

475
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 6: for this in terms of the personnel, in terms of

476
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 6: the personnels, he wants to.

477
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: Use the plays that he's calling. So I don't think

478
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: he will be any Yeah, he'll.

479
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 6: Be probably a little bit more uptight, you know, just

480
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 6: because you know they chance at the one seed and

481
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 6: the playoff pitcher and the chance to really win a

482
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. Yeah, he's a little bit more uptight, but

483
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 6: you know he's still going to be harping on every

484
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 6: all the little things.

485
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 2: Day.

486
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about the players responsibility and some

487
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: of the maybe you missed opportunities yesterday. What about the coaching,

488
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: Like how much of yet we have to point a

489
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: lot of fingers, But just from a coaching standpoint, what

490
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: is sean thinking I could have done better or done

491
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: more of in order to help these guys with the

492
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: fundamentals the things we were talking about earlier.

493
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I listen, I've never coached in the NFL.

494
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: I my guess would be that even at that level,

495
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 3: you are constantly whether you call it second guess in

496
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: yourself or self analyzing. You know, when you go back

497
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 3: and look at that film, and I'm sure most, if

498
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: not all, those coaches did that last night, that they

499
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: will find five, six, seven, eight plays calls that when

500
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 3: they see it, it'll be like, oh, and they'll see

501
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: another three or four calls that they like the call,

502
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 3: but guys didn't execute the call for whatever reason, right,

503
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: maybe they maybe they had a coverage call, and all

504
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 3: of a sudden, there's nobody in the middle of the field.

505
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: Where's my where's my middle middle safety? So that's the

506
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 3: that's the beauty and also the challenge of football. I

507
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: think it's to me, it's why it's the greatest team

508
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: game in the world. There are so many moving pieces

509
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 3: and there is such a strategy involved every single play,

510
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: and then the play happens, and then you're gonna do

511
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: it all again. I mean, it's like seventy different strategies involved,

512
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 3: and you get to make a decision, and then based

513
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 3: on that decision, your players have to make a decision.

514
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 3: And then when the whistle blows, you go back in

515
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: the huddle and think of another time. It's it's It's

516
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: a great game, for sure, no doubt about it.

517
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: I got another question about Justin Simmons, and we didn't

518
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: really get to that much earlier, but after what we

519
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: saw yesterday and you talked about some of the communication stuff.

520
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: I know you recently talked to Justin Simmons, like, are

521
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: you smiling over there?

522
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: Did Benny?

523
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 3: Did Benny say that Philip Rivers looks like he ate

524
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: a first grader?

525
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he said. We have tape. I know

526
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: we have tape somewhere.

527
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: I thought I heard you say that. Sorry, go ahead, gosh,

528
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: I mean.

529
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 6: Philip, Wow, he's big, dude, he said big.

530
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: You know what you said two sixty five. I'm I'm

531
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: gonna go over.

532
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 3: He looks a little bit like the late great Jared Lorenzen. Yeah,

533
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 3: they left it left from Kentucky. Yes, Now, Jared was

534
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 3: over three hundred pounds. I don't think Philip is is

535
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: three hundred pounds, but he's he's, as we would say.

536
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: A big old boy.

537
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: No farness. The camera does add like thirty pounds, is that?

538
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: No? Is that right? No?

539
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: And these are widescreen TVs.

540
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: Tell you right now he's going to play well tonight.

541
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you're you're you're crowing during one of the

542
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: breaks about how you're you're you're on the Colts tonight,

543
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: you see it?

544
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: No, all right, I.

545
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: Forget what I was asking you. You were asking me

546
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: about about Justin Simmons. Yeah, yeah, because you just recently

547
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: had him as a guest. Yeah, well, you know when

548
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: Dave was taking time off, you know, just onations slacker.

549
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, Justin he filled in. We had some really good conversations. Yeah,

550
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 6: I think, and Dave and I were talking about this

551
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 6: off camera earlier today.

552
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: Actually didn't get Jay. I didn't hear Day's response.

553
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 6: But I don't know if Justin, from a mindset standpoint

554
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 6: and what he understands about this defense could fill in.

555
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: But to not play seventeen weeks.

556
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 6: And then come in here and to play he definitely

557
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 6: wouldn't play this week, but to play next week and

558
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 6: to play a physical style of football and be all

559
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 6: over the field without having any mishaps. I just think

560
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 6: would be too much of a task to go in there.

561
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 6: This is just too physical of a game to not

562
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 6: play all year and then to come in there and

563
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 6: expect to make plays on a defense that has been

564
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 6: playing pretty well throughout the entire season. That's just a lot.

565
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 6: But if anybody could handle it, his mind could handle it.

566
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 6: I mean, he's obviously very smart, very witty. He'd get

567
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 6: on that same page. He's played in the defense before.

568
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean it's hard to that would

569
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: be a hard that'd be a tall task. I mean,

570
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: there's assuming certain like him in shape for us, right,

571
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: so that.

572
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 6: He's in shape because he's working out at Landau every morning. Okay,

573
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 6: that's not a problem. But hitting somebody is a different thing.

574
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 6: Isn't hit anybody in almost a full calendar year.

575
00:27:54,560 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: That we I mean, just trying to be accurate. Yeah,

576
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: you're right, I don't know.

577
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: Allegedly, Yeah, no training camp, Yeah, I mean he got

578
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: the best of it. No training camp.

579
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: I hear.

580
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: You guys want out of training camp every year if

581
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: you can.

582
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: Hey, the best year, best year I ever had, numbers wise,

583
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 3: I uh I injured my knee in a basketball game.

584
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: I fibbed a little bit because I had a clause

585
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: in my contract that I could not play basketball.

586
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Would you say, would you say that?

587
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: I said, I stepped in a hole running so at

588
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: a knee spring, So I missed the entire preseason. Last

589
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 3: preseason games, they said, hey, you got to play, otherwise

590
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 3: we're going to put you on in reserve. I managed

591
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: to play and taped up the knee. Had had one

592
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: of my best years statistically in that year.

593
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know. I don't know if there's any

594
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: correlation or not.

595
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: I agree with what Benny said in terms of it

596
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 3: being the tall task. Justin is such a smart player,

597
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: and he's he's gifted athletically, He's he's never been like

598
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: a big hitter. He's the guy that would tackle you,

599
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: which is the most important thing, you know, for safety play.

600
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 3: But I think it would be a long shot to

601
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: bring him in at this point and expect that he could,

602
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: you know, contribute in a meaningful way.

603
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: Would you I mean, even consider I'm raw hypotheticals here,

604
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: even as depth is he even as a guy that

605
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: would be sort of break glass in case of emergency

606
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: because the learned her Yell also left the game injured.

607
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: That didn't look good either.

608
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: No, no, so I to bring him in for the

609
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: practice squad. Yeah, that's that's kind of my mindset.

610
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 6: If Justin was moving around well enough, next week, yeah

611
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 6: you dress him, but you got to be on the

612
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 6: same page. And I would be testing him mentally, like, hey,

613
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 6: I'm throwing all the formations at him, and let's see

614
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 6: what he can.

615
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: Let's see what he understands.

616
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 6: He obviously's watching the games, So I think, you know, yeah,

617
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 6: it just really just depends on how they feel and

618
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 6: how Sean really feels about signing him, and.

619
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: Well then which is also its own own kind of hurdle.

620
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's I think the bigger one. But yeah,

621
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: I just wonder and maybe at this point in the year,

622
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: maybe there's a bit of a distraction factor, even if

623
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: you're not starting him, just bringing him into the building

624
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: and then all the questions and everybody and PJ Lock

625
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: is now like all right, great, you know, I don't.

626
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: Think the league worries about that. I don't think teams

627
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: would worry about that. Yeah, I don't think there would

628
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: be a distraction there.

629
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: I think you would know. PJ. Lock would know, and

630
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: also the team would know why he's there. And I

631
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: think that would be Hey. I think it was signaling, Hey,

632
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: we have a real shot at this thing.

633
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 6: We need all hands on deck, and we need somebody

634
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 6: who has all pro experienced, Pro Bowl experience that can

635
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 6: fill in if needed.

636
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll talk about Monday Night football coming up.

637
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: Next to thank a veteran, active military member or first

638
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: responder with twenty five hundred dollars through February first some

639
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: of your nomination name and they're deserving reason for twenty

640
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars at Kawaclorado dot com slash contest. It's

641
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: the Heroes Thing Thank You, present up by Common Spirit

642
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: Health and Fix. The twenty four seven we were talking

643
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: about the Joe Burrow reported trade just for a moment.

644
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Out of Schefter said yesterday that the Miami Dolphins had

645
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: offered four first round picks to go get Joe Burrow

646
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: the year he's coming out of LSU. Would four first

647
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: round picks be the right price to trade for a

648
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: quarterback like that? Are you staring at me like that? No?

649
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: I was waiting. I was waiting for you to finish

650
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 3: your thoughts on your face. I was thinking about the

651
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: foods you're going to encounter at your party.

652
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: You're going to.

653
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: Tonight's finger food.

654
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: No.

655
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: Four, Yes, it is nothing wrong with a sticky back either.

656
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: Four first round draft choices seems excessive to me for

657
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: anybody agreed, anybody?

658
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: I had not heard that, Yeah, it was.

659
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: It was a weird deal yesterday. How many people come

660
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: out with stories that, I mean, that happened five years ago.

661
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: What's the point of bringing that up. There's gotta be

662
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: a reason, right, Why would I see the light of

663
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: day five years later.

664
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 6: I wouldn't trade for a first round picks for somebody

665
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 6: who hasn't played yet. Two yes, but four?

666
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, if a team was going to trade for Joe

667
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: Burrow right now, what do you think it would cost?

668
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: It would depend on which team, obviously depending on draft position,

669
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: but I would say more than likely it would be

670
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: two or three first round picks a player, and maybe

671
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: swapping draft choices lower than first round.

672
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like if Cincinnati is truly in the

673
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: well we're going to be rebuilding after this, you'd want

674
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: three firsts. I probably wouldn't take less than that. I mean,

675
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson got three firsts for crying O A loud

676
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: and he was under investigation. Did I say that wrong?

677
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to show.

678
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: I'm not going to look at you like look. Can't

679
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: split it out, you gotta swallow it. That's right.

680
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: Well, Benny, thank you for hanging out with us today. Man,

681
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,840
