1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,639 Speaker 1: Our kaoae comma spirital text line. 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 2: We're on until nine o'clock tonight, so we got another 3 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 2: hour and a half with you. Seven to twenty seven 4 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 2: were remaining in the NFC Championship game the Seahawks ahead 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 2: of the LA Rams. To play some highlights from that 6 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: coming up here in just a little bit. We'll also 7 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: hear from Jared Stidham, who joined voice the Broncos Dave 8 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 2: Logan after the game. In the meanwhile, though today's game 9 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 2: presented by Coloradden's Responsible Energy Development developing Colorado's energy, building 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: Colorado his future, learn more at cred dot org than 11 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: a creed dot org. May didn't perform hardly at all. 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: If were not for the Stidham turnover, then May quarterback 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: sneak Broncos would have been totally fine. 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,639 Speaker 1: May was not a threat at all. 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think Drake May particularly had a spectacular game, 16 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: but he did like he has done most of the season, 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: as he took advantage of opportunities. I mean, he had 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: sub fifty percent completion rate as a bad weather game. 19 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: But Drake May wasn't super sharp. He took five sacks. Now, 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: he didn't turn the ball over. That's one thing that 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: we talked about a ton going into this game, as 22 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: it relates to Drake may put in the ball on 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: the ground. He had six fumbles, three of those lost, 24 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 2: and two interceptions in the previous two playoff games. And 25 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: their left tackle did have his struggles today. Will Campbell 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: had his struggles today. So it felt like those opportunities 27 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 2: And that's another thing, like you know, you're pointing out, 28 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: like the one thing the Broncos turnover the Jared Stidham fumble. 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: If the Broncos defense can force one takeaway, that might 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: have been the difference in the game. But we you 31 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: know where you had five takeaways versus the Buffalo Bills, 32 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 2: you didn't have a single one today. You know, a 33 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: couple of nice plays on special teams, but you didn't 34 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: convert the field goals, right as we know Will Leut's 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: was I mean erver two, but one of them was blocked. 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that's that's a big difference there too, right, 37 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, the defense able to get a 38 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: takeaway in this game could have changed everything. You have 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: five last week and then you got zero in this 40 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: one in a snow game where you turned it over 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: twice and gave the Patriots sample opportunity. I hate the analogy, 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 2: but Drake Maye was like Tim Tebow today. I mean, 43 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: was the running round and the sub fifty percent completion rate? Yeah, 44 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: maybe why does Denver allow long quarterback runs? Reoccurring theme, 45 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: there's something to that. Most of the time, it's it's 46 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: because you're playing man and your backs are to the quarterback. 47 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: So when you're and they're one of the best man 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: teams in the league. 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: And if you're not going to put a spy, a 50 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: dedicated spy or a whole player, if you're not going 51 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: to do that, then you're going to have your back. 52 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: To the quarterback. 53 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: So what's he's going to see is everybody running away 54 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: from the ball. And if your pass rush opens up 55 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 2: a lane because either they go too far around the 56 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: hoop or otherwise, then he's just gonna take off. And 57 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 2: he gashed him a couple of times today, a couple 58 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: twenty plus yard runs and I say a thirteen yard 59 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: run something like that. That's why hindsight is twenty twenty 60 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: four side is key. With the weather coming in, you 61 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: should have went for the field goal. Like I said, 62 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: A lot of people have been debating that all nights. 63 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: I'd say we have more people if I was run 64 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: a poll question on it right now, I'd say more 65 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: people saying take the points. But we all get to 66 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: be arguing that after the fact. If they would have 67 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: gotten a touchdown, then you'd be like, wow, we're celebrating 68 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: the team going to the super Bowl right now. 69 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: And we could have. 70 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: Said, well, it was a bubber that you didn't get 71 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: the points there, But who cares because you'd you don't 72 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: go to the super Bowl anyways. 73 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm just saying. 74 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: There were plays to be had much later in the game. 75 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: That's my point. It was early enough that you didn't 76 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: get those points. I mean, listen, I'll look at it 77 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: right here. Turnover on downs happened in the second quarter 78 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: with nine to twenty two remaining in the second quarter, 79 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: a lot of time, and at that point you're up 80 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: seven to nothing, and the defense, by the way, forced 81 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: a punt and then it was on the next drive 82 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: where Jared Sidham fumbled and that's where things really kind 83 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: of went off the rails for you. So tied seven 84 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: to seven at half. Back to the phones, though, and Douglas, 85 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: what's up next year? What's up Douglas. 86 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: Hey, how you doing, Ryan, You're good. 87 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing great. Thanks for hanging on, man. 88 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm in heart for Connecticut, a little bit of 89 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 3: the Patriots country here unfortunately. But you know, definitely, I think, 90 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 3: you know what, I think you've done a great job 91 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 3: with the phones tonight. I think that we had a 92 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: great year. And I think Peyton. There's a lot of 93 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: hating I'm going on Peyton, but I can't think of 94 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: a lot of coaches I'd rather have than him. And 95 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: I think, you know, this is the thing about where 96 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: we were in the last ten years. I mean, we've come. 97 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 3: I think at the minimum, Peyton at his worst is 98 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 3: going to be a five hundred coach. And we'll take 99 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: that over the last ten years longly. 100 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt, man. Yeah, And that's that's the acknowledgment 101 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: at least I had when the Broncos hired him, is 102 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: you immediately raised the floor to the team to be 103 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 2: in an eight win team, right, So like to your point, 104 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 2: like your eight to nine wins every year just because 105 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: you have Sean Payton and then with the added talent 106 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: around him or that he can coach up, which is 107 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: what George Payton is responsible for then you could really 108 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: see the heights that we saw this year with a 109 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: fourteen win team. 110 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think if anything, like, I think he's 111 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: probably like like almost two analytical, which i'd rather have 112 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: because you know, even like when he's doing like the 113 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: halftime talks, like he is just at another level of 114 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: his thinking, and I think sometimes you overthink stuff, but 115 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: I'd rather have that. I was thinking today too, how 116 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: you know the receivers at the end, we kind of 117 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 3: ran out of gas on him and I was thinking, 118 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: you know what, I was just googling it. We traded, remember, 119 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: we traded Vailey to the Saints, right, yep, because we 120 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: thought that we thought that Brian was going to be 121 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: and Brian was good. But think about if we would 122 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: have had Dayle today, like in the last couple of games. 123 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 3: That was a guy that could catch that ball and 124 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: he'd always catch it, and I thought, you'd never know. 125 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 3: Sometimes the end of those the end of the years, 126 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: will give you a full narrative on whether it moves 127 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 3: good or not. 128 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: You know, that's fair, That's fair, listen. I was supportive 129 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: of the move at the time. 130 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: Mostly for a roster numbers discussion, right, because you had 131 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: six wide receivers. You left yourself very little wiggle room there, 132 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: and you wanted to have some more flexibility. So I 133 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: was supportive of the move at the time. But you're right, 134 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: we get a chance to look back that in hindsight, 135 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 2: Pat Bryan had thirty one catches on forty nine targets 136 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: for three seventy eight. Devon Vailey had better numbers last year, 137 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: and that's just a fact. So yeah, after the fact 138 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 2: we look back and we say, yeah, maybe maybe, But 139 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: Troy Franklin, by the way, had sixty five catches for 140 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: seven hundred and nine yards, so how many of those 141 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: would have gone to Devon Vley And to your point, 142 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: you didn't have Franklin today, which also stings under the circumstances, 143 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: especially when you factor in you know, Lil jer and 144 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: Humphrey with some drops hit a couple of today and 145 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 2: so on and so forth. 146 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, I think maybe a draftic on receiver. 147 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 3: And again Peyton coming out of the stinks. He always 148 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: said Kamara, he had Reggie Bush. I think we need 149 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 3: a home run hitter, and that's on the running back. 150 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: I think they should go. 151 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: All in on that. 152 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: I don't know who's available to get a home run 153 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: hit a running back. I think I think that that 154 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: are what's his name that was in there today from 155 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: our second round pick, RGIE Harvy. I think he's good, 156 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 3: but I think it'd be a good compliment to a workhorse. 157 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: Percent thanks of the call, Douglas, thank you for listening 158 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: out there in Connetic Connecticut. I'd say, yes, that's that's 159 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: exactly right. 160 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: He needs a compliment to him. 161 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: Because somebody's on the text line was like, I don't 162 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: know why you're being so complimentary of RJ. Harvey. He 163 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: only averaged whatever two point seven yards per carry two 164 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: point eight yards per carry today, well over this course 165 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: of the season, the regular season anyways, he averaged three 166 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: point seven. 167 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: But that's still not good enough. 168 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: But I say for a rookie year, he had five 169 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: hundred and forty rushing yards, seven rushing touchdowns. But is 170 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: the passing game that I was very impressed with forty 171 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: seven catches. 172 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: For three fifty six and five touchdowns. 173 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: I think there's more there, and I guess for me 174 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: it's a bit of projection. It's like what he is now, 175 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: what I think they'll be able to do with him 176 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: with another year of seasoning and to Douglas's point, adding 177 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: a complimentary back that will be around for him. And honestly, 178 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: the real conversation needs to be adding more than just one, 179 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: right And that's not trying to be a shot at 180 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: Jelil McLoughlin and Tyler Badet, but I feel like you 181 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: could you could add more there. So whether you bring 182 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: back JK. Dobbins or not, I'd add more. I just 183 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: I give yourself a one A, one B and then 184 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: one C and then know that you're going to rotate. 185 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: You're just you're running back by committee team. That's who 186 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 2: you are, and that's fine. Sean Payton believes in it. 187 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: And part of the reason he believes in is because 188 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: these guys tend to be fresher later in the season 189 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: than workhorsebacks. 190 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: That's his belief. 191 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: So okay, fine, then add more op give yourself more outs. 192 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: Because JK. 193 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: Dobbins hasn't been able to stay healthy his entire career, 194 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 2: we loved what he did for this team for the 195 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: first ten weeks this season, so denying that fact, he 196 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: was on track to be a thousand yard rusher for 197 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: the Broncos and they haven't had that since Philip lindsay, 198 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: I think so. 199 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: I love what JK. 200 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: Dobbins did, but you had to know there was a 201 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: possibility he wouldn't make it for the whole season. And 202 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: on a day like today is when you need a 203 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: player like him. And that's where you say, well, we 204 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: could have added another body to the room, just an acknowledgement. 205 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: That's all back to the phones. 206 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 2: We go and Nick in Golden you're up next year 207 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: on Broncos react, We're until nine o'clock. 208 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: What's up? 209 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 5: Nick? 210 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 6: Hey, I appreciate you taking the call, yir. I I 211 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 6: want to give Sean a lot of credit because we've 212 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 6: run a lot of coaches in and out of here 213 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 6: the last ten years, and being at the brink of 214 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 6: the cliff, obviously, expectations are pretty low. So any turnaround 215 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 6: as a turnaround. But to have a turnaround like this 216 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 6: is impressive and I think it takes a good GM 217 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 6: And if if I'm giving Sean credit, I think I 218 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 6: think we need to. But on top of that, I 219 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 6: think he's an above average head coach, but he is 220 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 6: very much of the Parcels coaching tree. I personally believe 221 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 6: him to be a subpar offensive play caller, and it 222 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 6: worries me that we don't have anybody in that room 223 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 6: who has the gall or even the ability to question him. 224 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 6: And maybe Bo was the only one who really gave 225 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 6: him a little fire back at times, So that kind 226 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 6: of worries me. I think we did really well to 227 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 6: stay in a lot of games this season. Today, honestly, 228 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 6: I think the Patriots should be embarrassed that they let 229 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 6: a backup quarterback almost beat them. I mean the fact 230 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 6: that we were in the game the entire game when 231 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 6: we were supposed to get freight trained. Far as they 232 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 6: were concerned, they can't be walking into the super Bowl 233 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 6: with much confidence. But I think Sean needs to evaluate 234 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 6: his offensive play call. The AFC Championship game is not 235 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 6: a game where you make play calls to protect your 236 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 6: backup quarterback from mistakes. This is the all or nothing game. 237 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 6: And now that I've had a couple hours to get 238 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 6: home warm back up from the Gold and then distic 239 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 6: a little bit, I feel like, as much as I'm 240 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 6: really impressed that we got as far as we did 241 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 6: and I'm really proud of us, I think whatever team 242 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 6: was going to come out of the AFC, especially US, 243 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 6: with a backup quarterback they're getting dog walked in the 244 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 6: Super Bowl. I think the Seahawks look pretty sharp, and 245 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 6: even Darnold, who I wasn't sure if he'd recover from 246 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 6: the Jets, looks pretty solid. But we got to be 247 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 6: proud of this season. I do think that there are 248 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 6: a couple of games that inspire of the offensive play 249 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 6: callingue we won. Obviously, there was a lot of sloppiness 250 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 6: in that Giant game, but also three quarters of what 251 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 6: I can only describe as Josh McDaniel's style play call, 252 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 6: and then you know, taking the handcuffs off bow and 253 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 6: letting the boys play. I think there are a couple 254 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 6: of games we got in spite of Sean, and I 255 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 6: think he's a great coach, above average for sure. I 256 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 6: think he's great for our team. I just think he 257 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 6: needs somebody in the building and especially on the sidelines, 258 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 6: who has the ability to say, are you sure about that? 259 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: All right? Nick? 260 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: I mean I can kind of see that. I don't 261 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 2: know if that's well. First of all, I don't know 262 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 2: officially what the dynamic is. If there is somebody like 263 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 2: Joe Lombardi, Pete Carmichael, somebody push back on Sean under 264 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: the circumstances. But I see where you're going with that, 265 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: and there are some times from a sequencing standpoint, I 266 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 2: think his designs are brilliant. I think that you made 267 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: the same point, but the sequencing is coming to to 268 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: question at times. You know, he's he's one of those 269 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 2: guys that will continue to look at his own sequencing 270 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: and seeing where he can be better at. He is 271 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: a top half of the league coach in my opinion, 272 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: there's no denying that fact. Doesn't mean he's infallible, doesn't 273 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: mean he doesn't make mistakes, doesn't mean that there aren't 274 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 2: things that the Broncos overall can be better at. But 275 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: I think that we'd be fooling ourselves to say, well, 276 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: next year, you got to have somebody that pushes back 277 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 2: on Sean, because I don't know if that's the design er, 278 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 2: that's that's the way that they can operate. But to 279 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: your point, I think Bo did push back on him. 280 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 2: We saw that on the sideline, and Sean has said 281 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: is so is Drew Brees that some of their best 282 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: work that happened with the Saints is because they would 283 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 2: push on each other and they would challenge each other. 284 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 2: And so Bo now going into his third year. Maybe 285 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 2: there's got to be a higher expectation for that. I'm 286 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: with all that. I think that's good. Three l three seven, 287 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: three eighty five, eighty five. Get another call in here 288 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: before we hit the break and this Nick in Grand Junction. Yeah, 289 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: all right, Nick? 290 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: What's up? 291 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 2: Man? Oh you mean Mike, Mike, Sorry about that, Mike. 292 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 5: Good. 293 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 6: Just I'm good. 294 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 7: Just heading back to Junction from the game. 295 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: It was fantastic drive safe out. 296 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 5: There, man, Yes. 297 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 6: Good. 298 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 7: Now they're on the other side of ail. 299 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 8: So we're good. 300 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: Okay, good. 301 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 7: But I was just gonna say that a couple things. 302 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 7: Number One, I am glad the Bronco fan is not 303 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 7: like Buffalo fan, where we're all we do is make 304 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 7: excuses about what it could have should have. Yeah, if 305 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 7: we've made two field goals, we're going to the super Bowl. 306 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 9: I get it. 307 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 7: However, the fact that those guys don't quit no matter what. 308 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 7: The entire culture of this team has changed in the 309 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 7: past two years. It's just mind blowing to me how 310 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 7: good we have come, how far we've come. Leaving a 311 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 7: game that we normally would just be completely beside ourselves 312 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 7: in distraught. I feel good about where we're going, it's 313 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 7: nice to see a team that just simply doesn't quit. 314 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 7: And then on top of that, to the point the 315 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 7: former caller was saying about having a somebody to call 316 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 7: different plays during the game, that there is something to 317 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 7: that having a true offensive coordinator where Sean Payton sees 318 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 7: the big picture of. 319 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 6: The game, which is good. 320 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 10: He sees the. 321 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 7: Big picture, but having somebody call the sausage, as I'd 322 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 7: like to say, put it together, make it happen. Sometimes 323 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 7: I think he gets wrapped up into play by play 324 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 7: calling and it kind of gets lost. 325 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 5: In the wash. 326 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 7: He sees the big picture, but it's not coming out 327 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 7: in the end, that's my opinion. So maybe a true 328 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 7: offensive coordinator, he gives the reins off and he coaches 329 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 7: the coaches to coach. 330 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 5: That'd be good. 331 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, listen, Mike, I don't think that's a 332 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: bad idea. It's just like I remember one time, I 333 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: think it was John Gruen said this. He's like, you know, 334 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: when you get to be a head coach, and this 335 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 2: is advice for younger head coaches, So just roll with 336 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 2: me for a second. He's like, I suggest that you 337 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: call plays if that's if the thing that got you 338 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: that job, whether it's offense or defense, is your specialty. 339 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: You should continue to do that. And I was like, whoa, whoa, well, 340 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: why would you want to do that. You should delegate 341 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: and you should get guys that are and he's like, no, no, no, 342 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: The reason you do it is because that's why you 343 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: got the job. You get your own fingerprints on it. 344 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 2: That way, if you get fired or when you get fired, 345 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 2: you know you did everything you possibly could because it 346 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: was your signature on it. 347 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: It's not somebody else's. 348 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: You don't get to go into it and offload the 349 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: blame on somebody else. And I think about that often 350 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: in situations like Sean or other coaches that continue to 351 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: want to call plays because in their mind, no, no, 352 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 2: I'm putting my own stamp on this. I did it 353 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: my way, and if it doesn't work, then I get 354 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: all the blame. Then I can live with that, but 355 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: I can't live with the fact if I didn't put 356 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 2: my own signature on it, and I'll let somebody else 357 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: do it. And I disagreed with it, and I have 358 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: nobody to blame but myself. If that makes sense, it. 359 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 7: Does, and I agree with that one hundred percent. And 360 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 7: that's why I don't feel so bad about what happened today, 361 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 7: because again, all that is too miss sil goals. When 362 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 7: you break it down, you can go down to every 363 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 7: single play and second guess everything. The game was called 364 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 7: according to how it fell, and it worked out great. 365 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 7: We just didn't make a couple plays, and you know what, 366 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 7: it could have went either way. So I'm good with 367 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 7: what happened. Our future is bright, it really is. We 368 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 7: can We're gonna go a long way if we continue 369 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 7: down this path. 370 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 2: I like that. Take Mike, appreciate it. Ye, all right, 371 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: please drive safe. I'm glad to hear that you're on 372 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 2: the other side and the weather's a little bit better 373 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: over there. We had to take quick break, Larry. I'll 374 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 2: get to you on the other side. You're listening to 375 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: Broncos React on the KWA Broncos radio network. I give 376 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 2: Dave and Rick so much credit. That had to be impossible, 377 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 2: nearly impossible to assess some of those yard marker moments. 378 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 2: And I remember even on the shanked punt that happened 379 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 2: after it. This was pretty funny. 380 00:17:55,119 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 11: Bryce Behinger, the punter will feel this snap from Julian 381 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 11: Ashby eight yards deep in his own end. Zo snap 382 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 11: is good kick on the way and it is shanked 383 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 11: and into the Patriot bench. 384 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: We don't know, we don't know where. 385 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 11: But listen, I can't recall working one like this, So 386 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 11: Denver's gonna have great field position. 387 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: To start this drive. 388 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 11: I think it's the thirty two yard line of the Patriots. 389 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: Impossible. They did a great job, I mean, wonderful job 390 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: all season long. Two of the best to ever do 391 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: it in my opinion, But maybe I'm a little biased. 392 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: Some of the textus probably would agree with that sentiment 393 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: five six six nine zero Kawai commaspruit heal text line 394 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: this one. 395 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: We might not get this opportunity for a while. Yeah, 396 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: you're right. 397 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: We really don't know, right, so you certainly will go 398 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: into next year. I think we'll be talking optimistically. I 399 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: know I will be about the Broncos opportunity. But as 400 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: we saw with perfect examples of Washington, the Commanders, they 401 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: didn't get back to the NFC Championship Game. 402 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: They were in it last year. 403 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions two years ago were in the NFC 404 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: Championship Game. They missed the playoffs this year. So nothing's guaranteed. 405 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: You hope that you can continue to build around the 406 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: roster and that Bonnicks will improve, maybe hopefully even Sean Payton. 407 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: Everybody improves, but you don't know, and that does feel 408 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: like a frustrating missed opportunity. No denying that fact. And 409 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: you knew that if they got to this point and 410 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 2: didn't push through that it would fill that way. But 411 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 2: I'll ask you this before we get back to the phones, 412 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: and Larry Nimily, I'll get you next. Now, if they 413 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 2: get to the Super Bowl and they get sand blasted, 414 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if that would be the case. 415 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: But let's just say with. 416 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: Without Bonnicks, right with Jared Sidham, you get beat by 417 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: it looks like it's going to be the Seattle Seahawks. 418 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: How do you feel about the season? Then? 419 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: I feel like it'd be pretty close to where you're 420 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: at now. I mean, you feel a little that down, 421 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: but you also acknowledge that it was a pretty spectacular year. 422 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: We would have loved the next two weeks with the 423 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 2: entire country talking about our team, But simultaneously, without bo Nicks, 424 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: I just don't know if you had enough. 425 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: And maybe that. 426 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 2: Is with the benefit of hindsight that I get to 427 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: say those kinds of things, because I was certainly over 428 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: the course of the week talking myself into Jared Stidham 429 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 2: being good enough to compete, not only in this game, 430 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 2: which by the way, you lost by three, so technically 431 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: you covered, but also I would have talked myself into 432 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 2: a competitive game against the Seattle Seahawks as well. But again, 433 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: I feel like if the outcome is the same, that 434 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 2: you don't win a championship, we're probably still here either way. 435 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 2: And you would have said to that texture, Well, you 436 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: may not get a chance to be back in the 437 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 2: Super Bowl next year, That's exactly right, just like you 438 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 2: may not be in the Division round or the AFC 439 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: Championship game. But I do believe it's a playoff team 440 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: and if you get in the dance and you have 441 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: a decent enough seating, try to win the AFC West. Again, 442 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 2: anything can happen, especially if you're healthy. Back to the phones, Larry, 443 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: you're up mixture on Broncos react. We're untill nine o'clock. 444 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: What's up, Larry? 445 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 5: Oh, you're gonna disagree with me? 446 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's go. 447 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 5: We got it. We have a good football team, great players. 448 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: Well, so far we're on the same page. 449 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 5: No, I we got a horrible coach. This guy, I could, 450 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 5: I could descend them. All he does is throw it 451 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 5: to the left, throw it to the right, or run 452 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 5: his undersized running backs into the middle. No no imagination, 453 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 5: no creativity. Or we have to come from behind every 454 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 5: game and they finally get turned loose because we can't 455 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 5: score in the first half. Look at the whole season. 456 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 5: They don't move the ball. There's no offense at all. 457 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 5: The worst, the only guy that's the worst play caller 458 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 5: than John Payton is probably Pat Sheer. 459 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: Wow, you're you're you're you're bringing up Pat Shermer. 460 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 2: Larry Goods horrible. 461 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,959 Speaker 5: This guy might be just as bad. He doesn't call 462 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 5: when he They make great plays in the second half 463 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 5: because of the players, not because of him. I mean, 464 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 5: when you watch them, how many times do they just 465 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 5: throw it to the left or throw it to the right, 466 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 5: and they just get stacked up right there unless somebody 467 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 5: makes a play. 468 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: Well, how much of that design is because of Sean 469 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: or how much of that design is because of what 470 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 2: the quarterback is looking at? 471 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 5: I think it's Sean. I mean, they get in the 472 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 5: second half, they start moving the ball down the field 473 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 5: instead of sideways, and they always and they get they 474 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 5: have great enough talent to make it work. But I 475 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 5: mean his play callings pathetic. I don't know. I don't 476 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 5: know how you ever made it. Cept Furry had the 477 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 5: guy he had in New Orleans bow Knicks. When I 478 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 5: turn him loose in the second half, he's awesome. Look 479 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 5: at the statistics. Look what they do in the first 480 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 5: half of every game. 481 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: Nothing well, I mean that's not exactly true, but I 482 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: appreciate the caller. I'd say there's a little bit of 483 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 2: something there with wanting to see Bonix give some opportunities 484 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: to turn it loose if you will. And you're right 485 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: some of those fourth quarter comebacks when they're able to 486 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 2: play with little more tempo, which, by the way, is 487 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 2: still Sean Payton's design. Okay, bo Nix didn't design the plays. 488 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 2: Bonnix is able to execute what are some base install stuff, 489 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: and he's able to play a little more free. Maybe 490 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: you're a little frustrated with some of the sequencing, okay, 491 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: But from a design standpoint, Sean Payton is kind of 492 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: another level man, so you can kind of miss me 493 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: with that. But I don't I don't think you're completely 494 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 2: wrong on and maybe taking the handcuffs off bow a 495 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 2: little bit at times, maybe maybe a little more of 496 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 2: this next year that part I could, I could ride 497 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: along with. I think Sean Payton is a phenomenal coach. 498 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: And to bring up Pat Shermer in the same sentence 499 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: other than to acknowledge coaches that have played here in 500 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: the or coach here in the past, that's that's insanity. Dude. Again, 501 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 2: I try to ride with you guys as much as 502 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 2: I can on all the takes to say Pat Shermer 503 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: and Sean Payton belonging to the same conversation, other than 504 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: the fact that they both have coached in the NFL 505 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 2: and call offense. Come on, man, I'm tired, but I'm 506 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 2: not that tired. Emily, You're up next year on Broncos 507 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: react with Brian Edwards Bruns on nine o'clock. 508 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: What's up Emily? 509 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 9: All right? 510 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 12: So, Like my question is why is nobody talking about 511 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 12: what a disappointment Will Nuts was? Well, no, I get it, 512 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 12: but like I mean, yes, like we've got the weather, 513 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 12: but let's talk about the first half. We knew the 514 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 12: weather was coming in. 515 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, we don't even go for. 516 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 12: The field goal. You've got Citty who should be playing 517 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 12: for a contract. He's playing with a freaking glass jaw 518 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 12: flies for it instead of runs for it. We don't 519 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 12: kick it, we throw an interception, so there's three points 520 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 12: off the board. Then right before we go into halftime, 521 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 12: let misses three points, and then again in the fourth 522 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 12: quarter we miss another three points. So there's nine points 523 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 12: that we should have had to win the game. City 524 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 12: lost his contract opportunity. Let's just be real. There's a 525 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 12: reason he's a backup at this point in my opinion. 526 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: Do you think Willis is a backup kicker? 527 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 6: Oh? 528 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 12: Yeah, for sure. I don't think that Will LUTs has 529 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 12: a job tomorrow. 530 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 2: Oh well, that's not true. 531 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 9: Extension, how do you. 532 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 12: Miss six points? 533 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 3: Like? 534 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 12: I mean, that's the whole game. 535 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 2: They just gave him an extension. They're not gonna cut 536 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: Will LUTs. 537 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 12: I mean, my vote is we cut Will Lutts. How 538 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 12: do you miss it? Come on, how do you miss 539 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 12: it twice? 540 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 7: Well? 541 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 2: I mean again, I don't know if forty six yards 542 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 2: is automatic for you, Emily, but I'd say that under 543 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 2: the conditions, and he had one blocked, by the way, 544 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: there was one blocked. He goes down for oh, for one. 545 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 2: He ended up being over two because of the block, 546 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 2: but he really only missed one. The other one was 547 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 2: blocked at the line. 548 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 12: I mean, I was at the stadium. That's fair. But 549 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 12: I've also seen him kick forty nine, Yeah, forty nine 550 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 12: yard field goals easily, So I mean, I get it, 551 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 12: there's weather conditions, but you're also playing for a championship game, 552 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 12: and he's a pro football player. Any other kicker would. 553 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: Have had it the last thing. And I'm not trying 554 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: to be dismissive. How many games do you think the 555 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 2: Broncos won as a result of Will Lutts being clutch 556 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 2: this year? 557 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 12: I mean maybe three or four. But it's a combination 558 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 12: of the entire offense showing up. 559 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 8: It's plus Will Lutts. 560 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 12: I just feel like tonight he wasn't playing for it. 561 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Emily, thank you for the call. 562 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: I appreciate they will not cut Will LUTs and they 563 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: just gave him a contract extension. But there are several 564 00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: games this year that he came up money and I 565 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: don't know, I you know when you have lost like this. 566 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: And by the way, the Seattle Seahawks did win, They 567 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 2: won thirty one twenty seven. They are going to play 568 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: the Patriots in the Super Bowl in Santa Clair, and 569 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: I want to see. I wonder what the line is 570 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: on that. They've put that out already. I'll see if 571 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: I can find that for you guys. But Will Let's, 572 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: i'd say, by and large, had a very good season. 573 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: And you know, over the course of the year he 574 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 2: was twenty eight to thirty two on field goals. 575 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: He wasn't as. 576 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: Best year as far as his field goal percentage, but 577 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: it was pretty high up there. He's an eighty seven 578 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: percent or better kicker for most of his time in 579 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 2: the NFL. So and he's perfect on extra points, which, 580 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 2: by the way, a lot of kickers can't necessarily say that. Now, 581 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 2: I don't want to sit to sit here and defend 582 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 2: Will Let's the rest of the night. I don't think 583 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 2: they lost this game specifically on Will Let's, but you know, 584 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 2: convert one of those, and yeah, maybe you are having 585 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 2: a different conversation. But the forty six yarders, I mean, 586 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 2: that's under the circumstances. The first one, yeah, maybe there's 587 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: just a little bit argument. The second one was blocked 588 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: and you didn't get into range. Otherwise like you didn't 589 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: give him any other opportunities. So I hear the frustration 590 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 2: for sure five six six nine zeros are koa common 591 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 2: spirit health text line three h three seven one three 592 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: eighty five eighty five. 593 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: Let's take another quick break. 594 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: Well, right back on the kay Broncos Radio network, as 595 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 2: Steve rabel Kiro Seahawks broadcasting. The Seattle Seahawks are four 596 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: and a half point favorites currently over the New England 597 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 2: Patriots for Super Bowl sixty. 598 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: We'll see if it ends up being a good game. 599 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 2: Right now, I'd be all do on that because I 600 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: feel like that line is gonna only balloon. But we'll 601 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: ultimately see. Have to root for Seattle, I think for 602 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: Broncos fans. Anyways, Well, it's a lot of class. We 603 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: got another hour. You guys can keep calling in, keep 604 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,959 Speaker 2: texting in plenty of time to hear from you. Will 605 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: hear from Jared Stidham here in just a matter of 606 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: moments at four and a half points, I I don't know. 607 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: I think the Seahawk are just miles better than the Patriots. 608 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: And that's not sour grapes. Because of what happened today, 609 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: I would have said that regardless, but it's gonna be interesting, 610 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: no doubt about it. Kind of feel for the Rams here. 611 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: Hell of a game, I mean, unbelievable performance. Tonight, just 612 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: came up short and now DeVante Adams is zero and 613 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: five in conference championship games. Came to the Rams with 614 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: a hope and an opportunity. And I don't know, the 615 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: Rams were the best team in the NFC for most 616 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 2: of the year, but give it up to the Seahawks. 617 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 2: They closed extremely strong, and they blew up the forty 618 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 2: nine ers last week. Left that was such a big 619 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: deal because the forty nine ers were I mean, you 620 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 2: would talk about team coming in on fumes, no doubt 621 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 2: about it. But the Seahawks, this is a definitive win 622 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 2: for them, and they've got to be riding high. I mean, wow, 623 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 2: the Patriots that they barely got by a Jared Stidham 624 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: led team in Denver who is missing again missing their 625 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 2: starting quarterback in a snow game. I don't know, we'll see. 626 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: There'll be a lot of hot takes flying around about 627 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: these two teams in the coming gays. As we walk 628 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: up to Super Bowl sixty, we go back to the phones, 629 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: I'll get I'll read a couple of texts here in 630 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 2: a second. But Michael in New Orleans, you're up next 631 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 2: year on Broncos react with Ryan Edwards was. 632 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 8: Up, Michael, how you doing? 633 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 4: Just want to elaborate on Sean Payton. Now he's won 634 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 4: in I believe three in conference games, and you know, 635 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 4: I'm a big Saints stand I used to go to 636 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 4: the ballgames when Sean was there. I mean, he's a 637 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 4: good play caller, but he always he's too aggressive at times, 638 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 4: and that's the course of the ballgame today. I mean 639 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 4: I've seen that Tom and Tom again watching games, but 640 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 4: Sewan good play call, but when it comes down to 641 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 4: the nitty gritty, you just don't have it. And like 642 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 4: there was one gentleman that were saying that Pat Sherman 643 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 4: and him, Pat Sherman, you know he's nowhere Nia Sean Payton, 644 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 4: But like I said, Sean, I don't know he'll get 645 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 4: you there. But in three and championship games, and then 646 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 4: you know, everybody knew that Skindon was gonna come out 647 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 4: and win this game. I mean, he's what a second 648 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 4: string quarterback? You know what would have done better if 649 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 4: you would have had what's his name, Jameis Winston or 650 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 4: Teddy Bridgewater. But that's how it is, you know. 651 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 8: But y'all got. 652 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: I listen, and I think there's a point to that. 653 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 2: I mean, those guys have more experience, right, I think 654 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: got more starting experience. 655 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: Did only had four games starting. 656 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 2: I still believe the fact that he had been in 657 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: the system for three years and you know, I listen 658 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 2: in a one off and the fact that he only 659 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 2: lost by three kind of proves the point that Sean 660 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 2: could have coached this this game to a way that 661 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: they win. That there was it was definitely a path 662 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 2: to winning. This wasn't a blowout loss, no, because you 663 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: had a backup quarterback. 664 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: Now. Now, in fairness and I know that you're you're 665 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: a Saints fan. 666 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 2: In fairness, that rams loss, that that that one right there, man, 667 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 2: I really thought you guys were gonna win the whole 668 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 2: thing that year. 669 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 8: I really did, well, you know that. 670 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 4: I mean it was the know the not call. But 671 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 4: like I said, uh, you know, being the same fan, 672 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 4: you guys have a better you know, winning record and 673 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 4: all that. But like I said, once we get started, 674 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 4: what I can tell the fans if you would drop 675 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 4: draft more l s. 676 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 8: U ballplayers, more SCC ball players. 677 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 4: Yep, Yeah, y'all would do a lot better. But uh see, 678 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 4: I like you said, I got to see, I'm gonna 679 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 4: go jump on that on that line right now. Four 680 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 4: and a half. Just watch the game. 681 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: Seattle's gonna win, Yes they are, yeah, four and a half. 682 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 2: In fact, I saw a couple of places has three 683 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 2: and a half. I don't even understand that. 684 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, no, I know Seattle's got a good tend. 685 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 4: Another another Saint player, Shahi, I mean we can't him 686 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 4: to see I just said him see it, but you 687 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 4: know you can't. He's got he's got awesome speed. 688 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 2: Yes he does. 689 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 4: Anyway, y'all had a good season. You don't know if 690 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 4: he can make it. Just like us, we uh we 691 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 4: down in the Downfore we got hope. 692 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 8: You guys got. 693 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 4: Hope, and uh that's all it is. And just tell 694 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 4: people don't mid suicide because all it is is entertainment, 695 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 4: you know what. Main the main thing is Jesus Christ. 696 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 4: Do you take care and have a good year? 697 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 11: Sir? 698 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Michael, appreciate it. At the ending 699 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 2: of the calls something well, yeah, and then I think 700 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: nor Lean does have good reason for hope. I like 701 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: Tyler Shock, I like like some of the things they 702 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 2: are building down there. They're scrappy this year. So yeah, 703 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 2: especially in that division, absolutely absolutely, yeah, you know, and 704 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: maybe we'll see with with Sean Payton. You know, I 705 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 2: SATs fans have a lot more history there with getting 706 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: close but not good enough, and maybe that ends up 707 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: being the tenure with Sean Payton. Who's to say Sean 708 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 2: got here? You're immediately better with Russell Wilson. You were 709 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 2: an eight win team right where you were a five 710 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 2: win team the year before with Russ. The next year 711 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 2: you win ten, you go to the postseason. The next 712 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 2: year you win fourteen, and you win the AFC. Well 713 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 2: at least you're the number one seed in the AFC. 714 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 2: You win your division round. So I mean, we've gotten 715 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 2: better each year with Sean Payton under the circumstances, the 716 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 2: let's fire Sean Payton crowd doesn't really have a lot 717 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: of legs to stand on here, right, So now we 718 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 2: may fast forward a few years and when the coach 719 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 2: coach mark up in Fort Collins and then, uh, I 720 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 2: can't remember the other guy that called in earlier from 721 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 2: Golden Nick. Maybe maybe they have a point in a 722 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 2: few years and they say, I told you so, I 723 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 2: told you we would never get anywhere. 724 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: But maybe you're right. But in these three years. 725 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 2: Come on now, if you've been a Broncos fan for 726 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 2: the last decade before Sean Payton got here, and then 727 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 2: you want to come here on the radio and say 728 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 2: we could do better, Oh, sure, showed me. I'd love 729 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 2: to see that. I'll stay skeptical. I think Shawn's a 730 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 2: really good coach. Derek and Denver's up next year on 731 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 2: Broncos React. What's up, Derek? 732 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: How you doing, I'm doing great. 733 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 2: Things, rolling on. 734 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 9: Thank you so much. A great season to the Broncos, 735 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 9: no doubt about it. None of us expected him to 736 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 9: be in this position right now, I don't think. But 737 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 9: I gotta tell you, as much as you say as 738 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 9: Sean Payton's great coach, it came down to him in 739 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 9: that fourth down call. Not only do you not take 740 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 9: the points, hey, coach, there's a blizzard coming take the points, 741 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 9: but then you roll out instead of running the ball 742 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 9: with a backup quarterback. I mean, that's where the game 743 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 9: was lost in my eyes, and it just drives me 744 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 9: absolutely crazy as a Bronco fan in nineteen seventy two 745 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 9: to see mistakes like this made in an AFC championship game. 746 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: Well, Derek, Derek, really really quick, really quick, really quick. 747 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 2: Well you with nine to twenty two left in the 748 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 2: second quarter, you're saying the game was over at that point. 749 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 9: Hey man, you got to take points in these games 750 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 9: when you and you know they told the coach snow coming. 751 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 9: Well yeah, you knew the snow storm coming. 752 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, but real quick, real quick. So what if just 753 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 2: for saying, and I don't like to play call either, 754 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 2: but what if it worked in the sense that you 755 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 2: got fourteen and you're up fourteen nothing at that point? 756 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: What are we saying then? 757 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 2: Are we not saying Sean Payton's brilliant and what a 758 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 2: great play call you take. 759 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 9: Take you take the points in every situation. If if 760 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 9: it would have worked, it would have been great. You're right, 761 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 9: it's a gamble, but you don't gamble when you've got 762 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 9: weather coming. You would have given some confidence to Lutz, 763 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 9: which I love the girl that called in two calls ago. 764 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,919 Speaker 9: You give the confidence the Lutz. He knocks it through. 765 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 9: You got a ten zero lead and you're going into 766 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,959 Speaker 9: the locker rooms. Uh, you know whatever, with a lead, 767 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 9: and they didn't score from that point on. And I 768 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 9: know it's armchair, I know it's hindsight, but that in 769 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 9: the AFC Championship game, maybe in a real game like 770 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 9: what we just watched with the Seattle Seahawks and the Rams, 771 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 9: that would have been real. But you don't give up points. 772 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 9: And this whole thing at gambling on fourth down on 773 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 9: the twenty yard line and the AFC Championship game with 774 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 9: home field of advantage, that's a gamble. And he gambled 775 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 9: and he lost, and he shot himself in the foot, 776 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 9: and in hindsight, that was the game. 777 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 5: Well. 778 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 2: The gamble, by the way, was also that the defense 779 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 2: would be able to get a stop, and they did. 780 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 2: They did force a punt on the very next drive, 781 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah, in in the sense they had 782 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 2: to drive right back down the field. Sure, and that 783 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 2: was where you fumbled the ball, and of course then 784 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 2: it'd be a seven to seven game. We could do 785 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 2: the what ifs on really either side, and what if 786 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 2: Stidham doesn't fumble it there? 787 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: Then then what I. 788 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,760 Speaker 2: Mean, then the Patriots go into halftime with no points 789 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: potentially and you're when he's seven to nothing, and then 790 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 2: They're obviously super aggressive there in the second half. Now 791 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 2: they moved down the field, but they maybe they have 792 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 2: to go for it twice on fourth down on that 793 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 2: drive because they know points are a premium. I think 794 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 2: there's a lot of scenarios here that could have or 795 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 2: should have played out either way. 796 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: Listen, Derek, You're not alone. 797 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of Broncos fans calling in with the 798 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 2: same feeling. The fourth and one was the biggest, the 799 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 2: biggest miss. And there's some media members out there, I'm 800 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 2: sure that are saying, got to take the points, got 801 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 2: to take the points. And you know what, Sean Payton 802 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 2: gets paid a lot of money to weather that storm, 803 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 2: to hold that over himself on his shoulders and know that, hey, 804 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 2: he made the call and fans have a right to 805 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 2: be critical of it. I think that's all fair. Scott 806 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 2: and Littleton. 807 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: What's up, Scott? 808 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 13: Hey doing good? I calling with some consolation information. I 809 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 13: know it's not very u it's a hard loss. But 810 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 13: I keep track of every NFL team's winning percentage like 811 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 13: people take care of they track baseball players batting average. 812 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,280 Speaker 13: So when I did the update for the twenty twenty 813 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 13: five season, every game from nineteen seventy till today in 814 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 13: the regular season, do you think the Broncos have a 815 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 13: higher or lower winning percentage? 816 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 2: In the Patriots higher higher. 817 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 13: So it'sz So they they were number two after they 818 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 13: won over Carolina, and they had seven losing seasons from 819 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,479 Speaker 13: seventeen to twenty three and they dropped down to number 820 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 13: seven out of thirty two. Then the Patriots tanked two 821 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 13: years the past two years prior to this one, and 822 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 13: Denver went up to six. Now they're back up to 823 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 13: number five. And so here's the winning percentages. Denver is 824 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 13: point five six six seven and the Patriots and Vikings 825 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 13: are point five six sixty five. So we're moving up. 826 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 13: It's a silly spat compared to championships, but you don't 827 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,720 Speaker 13: win every championship, but being the best team in winning percentage, 828 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 13: that's my goal to see the Broncos obtain that. So 829 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 13: one other goal I had for this year was to 830 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 13: add an ninth opponent in the end, and so the 831 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 13: Broncos in the Super Bowl. We've played eight Super Bowls, 832 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 13: We've played a different team every time, and I really needed, 833 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 13: we needed to be the Bears of the Rams, and 834 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 13: it ended up being the paid being the Seahawks in 835 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 13: the Bowl this year, so that would not have gotten furthered. 836 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 13: And now the Patriots will have played. Also, they're eighth 837 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 13: different opponent, so they've played four teams twice now with 838 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,919 Speaker 13: the Seahawks game coming up, and then four teams one time. 839 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 13: So it's really a weird stack. But Bronco fans need 840 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 13: to keep the hope that next year is going to 841 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 13: be even better. The only way you get better next 842 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,439 Speaker 13: year is going to the Bowl. 843 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 2: Right, that's exactly the right, Scott, and that's certainly the mindset.

Jared's it's Dave Logan. 868 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 11: Tough one for sure, just having not played and having 869 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 11: not thrown a ball in whatever it was, seven hundred days. 870 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 11: I mean, how did how did you feel today getting 871 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:54,919 Speaker 11: your first action? 872 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 14: I mean, look, I felt good out there, honestly, and 873 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 14: I think you know those first uh you know, two three, 874 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 14: four drives. I mean we're moving the ball really well 875 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 14: down the field, you know, and so from from that standpoint, 876 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 14: felt good and uh, you know, obviously you know, left 877 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 14: some points out there throughout the throughout the game, but. 878 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 11: But yeah, just just two more quick questions. The uh, 879 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 11: the the ball that I thought was what I initially 880 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 11: called it incomplete pass and then they ruled it a fumble. 881 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 11: It looked like you were trying to set up a 882 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 11: screen and you got an initial pressure right off the jump. 883 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 14: Yeah, no, it was uh, you know, had pressure and 884 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 14: I was trying to uh honestly just trying to throw 885 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 14: away to the running back, but he was he was 886 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 14: kind of getting held up by a defensive end. So 887 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 14: you know, I can't put the ball in harms way 888 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 14: like that, you know, put our put our team in 889 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 14: the bad spot. So that that was the thought process 890 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 14: on the play, was just trying to get rid of 891 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 14: it to the back. 892 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, listen, Siddy, appreciate the time. Uh I thought you 893 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 11: played well, really tough conditions, So uh, I appreciate you 894 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 11: coming on. 895 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 14: Yep, thanks Dave. 896 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 11: You bet Jared Stidham in the Broncos locker room. 897 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 2: There you go, City with his final moment here for 898 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 2: the Broncos. He'll be back, of course next year as 899 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: a backup, but his final opportunity here this season to 900 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 2: be the starting quarterback, and boy, it would have been magical, 901 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 2: would have been incredible to close things out with a 902 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 2: win and head to the Super Bowl, but unfortunately that 903 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 2: is not the case. It will beat the Seattle Seahawks 904 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 2: and the New England Patriots. We'll continue to talk about 905 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 2: that and we'll take your calls in text three or 906 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,359 Speaker 2: three seven one, three, eighty five, eighty five, five, six, 907 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 2: six nine zero our Kai Comasper Health text line on 908 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 2: right edwards and this is the Kway Broncos Radio Network. 909 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,879 Speaker 2: Great play by Ke Robinson and again five sacks. Five 910 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 2: sacks for the Broncos defense. I thought they played spectacular today. 911 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 2: There's no doubt they took it upon themselves to put 912 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,399 Speaker 2: the team in position to win this game. And there's 913 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 2: a little more from the offense and they would have 914 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 2: and I think that's over the course of the season. 915 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 2: You know, the Broncos defense has been spectacular. I know 916 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 2: there was a lot of thisscussion coming into this final stretch, 917 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 2: and especially in that Bills game, even when they had 918 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 2: five takeaways, didn't force a punt. Bills didn't punt the 919 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 2: entire game. So there's been some discussion about some of 920 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 2: the leaky yardage and teams moving the ball against them. 921 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 2: That was not the case today they forced. How many 922 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 2: punts did the end up forcing. I don't have to 923 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 2: take a look at that really quick. Here eight punts 924 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,840 Speaker 2: the Broncos defense forced today. Now, I'd say some of 925 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 2: the second half punting from the New England Patriots was 926 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 2: sort of protecting the lead. 927 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 1: Even though it was only three points. 928 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 2: They felt like because the Broncos offense was struggling as 929 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 2: much as it was that they felt pretty good about 930 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 2: their defense. The Broncos have done the same thing. Broncos 931 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 2: have protected leads. Sometimes you feel like, oh no, you 932 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 2: should put your foot on the throat of your opponent. Well, 933 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 2: there's time for that, and there's a time to just 934 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 2: understand the way the pacing of the game is playing 935 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 2: out and not to put yourself and your team in 936 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 2: a position or they're gonna possibly lose. Jeremy Crawshaw, by 937 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 2: the way, I thought it was fantastic today. I mean 938 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:09,320 Speaker 2: absolutely spectacularly. Hit a couple of punts that pinned inside 939 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 2: the ten yard line. Hit a sixty yard punt today 940 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 2: in the snow. Yeah, you talk about all the moves 941 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 2: made in the offseason. 942 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: I think a rookie. 943 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:29,360 Speaker 2: Punter with that contract, that's smart and he was on 944 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 2: the All Rookie team I think for the Pro Football Riders. 945 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 2: So good stuff there. Broncos React, presented by Exfinity. Imagine 946 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 2: that I'm Ryan Edwards Ron un till nine o'clock. As 947 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 2: we mentioned earlier, the Seattle Seahawks will play the New 948 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 2: England Patriots. Hit a couple of weeks in Super Bowl 949 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 2: sixty in Santa Clara, somebody texted in and tweeted at 950 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 2: mean or something that if you remember, the Patriots and 951 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 2: the Seahawks played in the Super Bowl the year before, 952 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 2: the Broncos ended up going back to the Super Bowl 953 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 2: and playing the Panthers. I was not to say that 954 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 2: the Broncos will play the Panthers next next year. That's 955 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 2: certainly interesting Broncos. Obviously, you have to continue to improve, 956 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 2: and I do think they'll put themselves in position next 957 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 2: year to take a run this thing. 958 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: I really do. 959 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 2: We go back to the phones.

That's exactly what this team did. 974 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 8: It was awesome.

Glad you got 1010 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 2: the plug in there. Good stuff our You're up next 1011 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 2: year on Broncos React. 1012 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 1: What's up? 1013 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 7: Bart? 1014 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 5: Hey? 1015 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 15: Ryan, great show man, Thanks sir, appreciate you. I'm in 1016 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 15: even with everyone that said that they should have probably 1017 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 15: kicked that field goal, because I just think that sometimes 1018 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 15: when you're a guy like like the coach. 1019 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:16,360 Speaker 10: He out on himself. So therefore you know he's not 1020 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 10: He wasn't fooling anybody with that play that they was 1021 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,839 Speaker 10: all over that when when when the guy threw the ball, 1022 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 10: it was all over it. 1023 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1024 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,280 Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, I didn't love the play call. 1025 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 2: I mean again, I'm not gonna be a hypocrite here. 1026 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 2: I said in the moment, I'd go for it. I 1027 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 2: felt like the Broncos defense been playing well enough at 1028 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 2: that point that you could gamble a little bit. It 1029 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 2: was worth the gamble to go up by two touchdowns. Again, 1030 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 2: you know, hindsight gets to be what it is. 1031 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: But as soon as the. 1032 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 2: Play call happened, I immediately shook my head. I said, 1033 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,840 Speaker 2: I didn't love that's play call. If it was going 1034 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,320 Speaker 2: to be a quarterback sneak or a full back hand 1035 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 2: off full back dive, then I'm in for it. If 1036 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 2: it's going to be a bootleg rollout on a fourth 1037 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,359 Speaker 2: and one. Then you know, yeah, the Patriots are better 1038 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 2: defense than that. So I'm with you on the execution 1039 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 2: of it in that respect. And again we get a 1040 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 2: chance to armchair quarterback this thing, don't we yes. 1041 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,280 Speaker 16: But the thing of it is, she needs to take 1042 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 16: all those rollout one yard throws, two yard throws. He 1043 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 16: needs to take those out of the playbook. Okay, So 1044 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 16: it didn't get both Nicks nowhere, and it didn't give 1045 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 16: him nowhere today. 1046 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 2: Well they did get a first down on like a 1047 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 2: one or two yard throw to Pat Bryant's so that 1048 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 2: I mean it does matter. But I listen, and I understand, 1049 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 2: and under the circumstances of the season, and thank you 1050 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 2: for the call. Under the circumstances of the season, doesn't 1051 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:47,720 Speaker 2: feel like it's worth arguing those points right now because 1052 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 2: you know, you didn't get it done. And I'm hoping 1053 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 2: for next year as we do, Broncos react and I'm 1054 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 2: obviously thrilled to be able to do this with you guys, 1055 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 2: that we aren't talking about as many screen passes. The 1056 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 2: screen passes were a bit of a grind this year, 1057 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 2: I know for Broncos fans it was that case. You know, 1058 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 2: there's the uh, you can't go broke taking a profit, 1059 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,240 Speaker 2: I guess, And if you're gonna get yardage for momentum 1060 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,839 Speaker 2: yardage every time, then there's something to it. But it 1061 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 2: also felt like the Broncos sometimes settled for some of 1062 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 2: that mindset versus being more aggressive. But maybe next year 1063 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 2: with some out of talent in the receiving room, another 1064 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 2: year of Bonix in the system, his confidence continuing to grow, 1065 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 2: And we did get some good news, by the way, 1066 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 2: on his ankle injury. It sounds like not only is 1067 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,760 Speaker 2: going to be shorter time than originally projected, the spot 1068 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 2: that he got hurt was not a similar spot that 1069 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 2: he had been injured there before. I think he and 1070 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 2: Rapport had that, or maybe it was Adam Schefter I'm 1071 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 2: pretty sure was raped though. And so the spot that 1072 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 2: he injured his ankle where the fracture was was not 1073 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 2: the result of similar injuries before, because this is the 1074 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,359 Speaker 2: third time he's fractured his ankle, But it just wasn't 1075 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 2: the same spot I guess. So that's that's great news, 1076 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,320 Speaker 2: because that was a question that had come up almost 1077 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 2: immediately was like, okay, wait a minute, this guy's fractured 1078 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 2: his ankle three times. Are we looking at something that 1079 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 2: is going to be debilitating over the course of his 1080 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 2: career and it's going to be something they're gonna have 1081 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 2: to manage. It sounds like he'll make a full recovery. 1082 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,360 Speaker 2: This is the report that they had out there and 1083 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 2: it wasn't the same spot. So for people that are 1084 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,960 Speaker 2: still wondering about that, Michael and sent tail you're up 1085 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:34,280 Speaker 2: next year on Broncos react. 1086 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: What's up? Michael? 1087 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 17: Hey, I wanted to, you know, first and foremost say 1088 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 17: I thank you for your coverage. I truly agree with 1089 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 17: you that the AFC just saidn' they have the horses 1090 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 17: is going into the Super Bowl this year. I think 1091 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 17: they're gonna run into a buzz saw with Seattle. Yeah 1092 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 17: when the when the Pats play him. But you know, 1093 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 17: I do think, you know, the sky's the limit when 1094 00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 17: it comes to the Broncos as far as you know 1095 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,320 Speaker 17: next year, because I think that, you know, the coaching 1096 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:08,239 Speaker 17: that Sean Payton did really with I mean, they they 1097 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 17: kind of put together a phenomenal defense with a bunch 1098 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:16,240 Speaker 17: of you know guys that a lot of the NFL 1099 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:22,399 Speaker 17: said we were average. You know, and they performed well, 1100 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 17: they were just phenomenal. I mean they you know, the 1101 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 17: scoring ratio from the you know, with with the with 1102 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 17: the defense and the takeaways. But you know, I was 1103 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 17: watching John Grutin and it was just off the charts. 1104 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 17: But more importantly, how Sean Payton put together this offense. 1105 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 17: And really, you know, when you think about it, when 1106 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 17: the Broncos went to the office went to the Super 1107 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 17: Bowl with Elway, they had Lway. They had two receivers 1108 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 17: that you couldn't double team in McCaffrey and Smith. They 1109 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 17: had uh, you know, Terreell Davis. You know that they 1110 00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 17: were stacked at almost every single position. And our offense 1111 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:05,280 Speaker 17: year we essentially got there on bo Nicks and Courtland 1112 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 17: Sutton and then and we lost a running game halfway 1113 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 17: through the season, and so there really wasn't any you know, 1114 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 17: means to really do any play action. And we got 1115 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 17: as far as we did. I mean, my hat's your 1116 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,439 Speaker 17: hat has to be off to the coaching agreed and 1117 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 17: the fact that we we kept it close, you know, 1118 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,920 Speaker 17: but there's unfortunately, in the reality is going into the 1119 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 17: Super Bowl, we would have to play a perfect game 1120 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 17: to even keep up. 1121 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 2: No, I'm one hundred percent with you on that, Michael, 1122 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,319 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Man, I one hundred percent agree 1123 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 2: with you on that. And you think about it in 1124 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 2: terms of you lost JK. Dobbins after Week ten against 1125 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 2: the Raiders, and then you rattle off wins against the 1126 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,279 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs in a game you had to have 1127 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 2: yet the bye week, and by the way, Pastor ten 1128 00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:01,920 Speaker 2: was out at that point too. Kansas City, Washington, Las Vegas, 1129 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:06,200 Speaker 2: Green Bay. So four straight wins without JK. Dobbins before 1130 00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 2: you finally lost to Jacksonville. And then now again you 1131 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 2: got a little bit of a schedule benefit of Kansas 1132 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 2: City and Los Angeles not needing those games, but you. 1133 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 1: Still had to win them. 1134 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 2: You had to go on the road to Arrowhead on 1135 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 2: Christmas night, and then you had to be home against 1136 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 2: which Los Angeles only didn't play three other defensive players. 1137 00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 2: They still played a lot of guys. But to be 1138 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 2: able to do all that and then beating the Buffalo 1139 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: Bills in the division round, that's a lot of coaching. 1140 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 2: You're absolutely right to hold all that together under the circumstances, 1141 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 2: and you get a rookie running back leading the charge. 1142 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to gaslight you guys into thinking that 1143 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 2: Sean Payton doesn't have his flaws. But I do think 1144 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 2: it's foolish to say, well, we could have done that 1145 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 2: with anybody. I completely disagree with that nonsense. Coaching is 1146 00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 2: a huge reason why the Bronx we're in this position, 1147 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 2: and maybe it doesn't feel appropriate for some of you 1148 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 2: today to acknowledge that. Totally fine, we're all a little frustrated, 1149 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,919 Speaker 2: we're all tired, it's been a season. But I think 1150 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 2: you'll eventually settle on the fact that the Broncos are 1151 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 2: in pretty good shape because of the coaching, not in 1152 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 2: spite of it. Well, be right back on the KA 1153 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 2: Broncos Radio Network, Jonathan Cooper. You know, it's interesting with 1154 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 2: Coop because some heat on him over the last few 1155 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 2: weeks because he wasn't really showing up in a lot 1156 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,359 Speaker 2: of the box score stuff. He's still out there playing 1157 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,120 Speaker 2: his hard out, but under the circumstances if you're not 1158 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 2: getting sacks sometimes in this league, people would be like, 1159 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 2: all right, what do you do here? But Jonathan Cooper 1160 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 2: has been a very good player for this team. The Broncos, 1161 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,320 Speaker 2: like I said, they have a lot of guys returning 1162 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 2: next year, and I liked what I saw from Kee Robinson. 1163 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 1: He got a sacked today. 1164 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,120 Speaker 2: He had some really nice moments this year on both 1165 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 2: special teams as well as playing a rotation. 1166 00:56:59,080 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 1: Joanallis. 1167 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 2: I think double some injuries this year, but I think 1168 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 2: we can continue to see good things. Dondre Tellman was 1169 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,879 Speaker 2: such a great signing. All those guys have a chance 1170 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 2: to come back. The biggest questions are really inside linebacker 1171 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:20,760 Speaker 2: and maybe safety. They're on the defense, Brandon Jones. I 1172 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 2: want to add in their defensive lineman. I think you 1173 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 2: continue to add there, especially if JFM is probably not 1174 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 2: coming back. Saving on Jones, we'll get more run this 1175 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 2: next year, I imagine. And then on the other side 1176 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 2: of the offense, you know, offensive line, left guard might 1177 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 2: be a position you take a look at. Certainly, running back, receiver, 1178 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 2: tight end, all of those things matter. That's one thing 1179 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 2: for this offseason for the Broncos. It's one thing that's 1180 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 2: kind of exciting. I think for Broncos fans. You think, 1181 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 2: you know the dead cap hit for Russell Wilson's coming 1182 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 2: off and you found your quarterback, and now it's just 1183 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 2: about putting him in position to succeed and This is 1184 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 2: such a big year, right, The third year of a quarterback, 1185 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 2: especially a first round quarterback, is so significant because after 1186 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 2: this year, you can technically pay him, You can give 1187 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 2: him that extension. That doesn't mean he's automatically given that. 1188 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 2: Although if you have the guy and you at this point, 1189 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 2: let's just say you feel like you have the guy, 1190 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,880 Speaker 2: you want to pay him as soon as possible because 1191 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:29,880 Speaker 2: that number only goes up because other contracts are going 1192 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 2: to get done. I mean, this is a this is 1193 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:36,760 Speaker 2: a prolific quarterback class between Caleb Williams, Jaydenon Daniels, Drake May. 1194 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 2: We don't know what JJ McCarthy or Michael Pennix Junior 1195 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 2: are just yet. They probably will have to wait a 1196 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 2: little longer than the three. But I imagine those other other 1197 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 2: three guys are all gonna get paid on time, which 1198 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 2: means the number for bo Nicks is also going to 1199 00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:59,080 Speaker 2: be very high. But this is that year, Like, that's 1200 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 2: what's so cool this upcoming year. And that's why listen, 1201 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 2: this isn't me trying to pump you guys up, right, 1202 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 2: this is just what it is. This is why a 1203 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,720 Speaker 2: lot of us in the media and fans otherwise said 1204 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six is actually the year to kind 1205 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 2: of push the chips in. Doesn't guarantee you anything. And 1206 00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 2: again why people would say twenty twenty five was a 1207 00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 2: year early will be a year early. You get that experience, 1208 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 2: I mean significant experience for this team to be the 1209 00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 2: one seed, to play with that kind of pressure on you, 1210 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 2: to rise to that occasion and win in the division 1211 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 2: round and then to host an AFC Championship game and 1212 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 2: to fall short and know, hey, this is what it 1213 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 2: takes to get through that, to get over that hump, 1214 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 2: this is what we've got to do. 1215 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 1: This is where we've got to beat. 1216 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 2: And you get to push more chips into the middle 1217 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 2: of the table because bo Nix is still in that 1218 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 2: rookie contract. You missed a couple of years of the 1219 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,560 Speaker 2: rookie contract because you're paying another guy, right, So you 1220 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,680 Speaker 2: didn't get the benefit the full bit of the rookie 1221 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,520 Speaker 2: contract for your quarterback because of Russell Wilson's contract. But 1222 01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 2: you still got performance up to the level of a 1223 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 2: starting caliber quarterback during that time because you went to 1224 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 2: the postseason two years in a row, and coaching definitely 1225 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 2: impacted that. Coaching definitely helped that process again, people calling 1226 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 2: tonight saying fire Sean Payton. I don't If you don't 1227 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,920 Speaker 2: think Sean Payton made bow Nicks better then that, I 1228 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 2: don't know where we can meet eye to eye. There 1229 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 2: are some moments where bo Knicks probably could benefit from 1230 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 2: and the offense could benefit from getting the opportunity to 1231 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,479 Speaker 2: play a little more loose. Sure, sure, sure, fourth quarter. 1232 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,840 Speaker 2: Yeah we saw it, but the design of the offense 1233 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 2: is still Sewan. The design of the offense is still there, 1234 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,120 Speaker 2: and bo Knicks is better for it, the entire team 1235 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 2: better for it. That being said, you didn't get the 1236 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,439 Speaker 2: benefit of the rookie contract for the first two years, 1237 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,520 Speaker 2: but you're gonna get it now. That's why I am 1238 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,520 Speaker 2: so in love with what the Broncos can do in 1239 01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:00,440 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Because you get the rookie contract for 1240 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 2: your quarterback. You've already been loading up, You've been signing 1241 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:10,000 Speaker 2: all your players with the intention of pushing all in. 1242 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 1: Now this is the year. Now, it's not the only list. 1243 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 2: The window it closes after twenty twenty six, but it 1244 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 2: can get a little harder to find that success because 1245 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 2: because we've seen it in the league, like Pat Mahomes 1246 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,280 Speaker 2: and I guess Jalen Hurts would probably be in this conversation. 1247 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 1: But that that's about it. 1248 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,240 Speaker 2: On quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford wanted, but I don't know if 1249 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 2: they gave him an extension. There's not many instances where 1250 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 2: you pay the quarterback and you win a championship like 1251 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,480 Speaker 2: that doesn't exist like right now. The biggest advantage you 1252 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,760 Speaker 2: can have is the rookie contract for your quarterback, and 1253 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:58,280 Speaker 2: it gives you an opportunity to really load up. And 1254 01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,160 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six is that year for the Broncos. We'll 1255 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 2: right back on the Kway Broncos Radio network. That was 1256 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:07,640 Speaker 2: courtesy of KIRO. That is Steve Raybels Seahawks broadcasting the 1257 01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks moving on to Super Bowl sixty. They will 1258 01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 2: take on New England Patriots. As I said earlier, currently 1259 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,600 Speaker 2: in some books that are four and a half point favorites, 1260 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,120 Speaker 2: maybe three and a half point favorites. 1261 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 1: I feel like the. 1262 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,080 Speaker 2: Seahawks should be favored by more. 1263 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 1: But here we are. 1264 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 2: Congratulations to Aaron Todd and David Tonight. They are our 1265 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,560 Speaker 2: winners of the SAMs Number three fifty dollars gift cards, 1266 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 2: Sam's Number three Diner and Bar presenting sponsor of Denver 1267 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 2: Defense three at alex Broncos react over the course of 1268 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 2: the season, and you guys have been phenomenal. They have 1269 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 2: been phenomenal. Gave away three fifty dollars gift cards every 1270 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,280 Speaker 2: week to listeners in Denver and in Boulder. 1271 01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 1: I hope we get a chance to do that again. 1272 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 2: And love the people over at SAMs. I know the 1273 01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,960 Speaker 2: Shannon also love the people over at Sam's. But they've 1274 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 2: been tremendous. This has been a lot of fun. I 1275 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,480 Speaker 2: know that listeners have really enjoyed that as well. In fact, 1276 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 2: we got this text here Sean, probably not Sean Payton, but. 1277 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 1: Thanks for being a great host this year and for years. 1278 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,439 Speaker 2: I appreciate the Sam's gift card from a few weeks ago. 1279 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 2: I think with Bo they win handily today and compete 1280 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,320 Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl. To pull off a win today 1281 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,400 Speaker 2: may have made Super Sunday a little too reminiscent of 1282 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,360 Speaker 2: bad Super Bowls past. The future is bright New England. 1283 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:25,160 Speaker 2: As a pretender, Seattle should cruise. Thanks again, Sean, I 1284 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,200 Speaker 2: mean I agree with you. I feel as though that 1285 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:33,920 Speaker 2: was a missing element today and you know, for some 1286 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,040 Speaker 2: of the handwringing about Bo Nicks from a national perspective 1287 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 2: and the perspective that he isn't a top tier quarterback yet, 1288 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 2: like some people think he'll never get there, and I 1289 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 2: feel like we got a little bit of time still 1290 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 2: to figure that out. That's why, again, this is such 1291 01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 2: a pivotal year. It's pivotal year for both, It's a 1292 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,960 Speaker 2: pivotal year for this organization. We're gonna get to find 1293 01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 2: out a lot of things. 1294 01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:00,480 Speaker 1: And if if. 1295 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 2: Bo can't elevate, right, if he can't take what he 1296 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 2: did this year and go to another level, then yeah, 1297 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 2: I mean I think there are always going people people 1298 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 2: out there that had that pre draft opinion of him, 1299 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 2: and they will have some room to stand on. I 1300 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 2: think the consistency, more than anything is what I want 1301 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,280 Speaker 2: to see from Bo. Like, I think some of the 1302 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,480 Speaker 2: high end stuff was really good, especially there in the 1303 01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:36,280 Speaker 2: fourth quarter. The ability to not blink when the game 1304 01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,600 Speaker 2: hasn't been great. I mean they haven't they hadn't played great, 1305 01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,560 Speaker 2: but they knew well the fourth quarters when we really 1306 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,280 Speaker 2: can put things together. I mean that that drive in 1307 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 2: the divisional round against the Buffalo Bills, I mean Chef's kiss, right, 1308 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 2: that's that's brilliant, that's jazz. You can you can build 1309 01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:58,680 Speaker 2: a lot off that. Now they're gonna have to find 1310 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 2: another trick. You can't assume you'll win those games. But 1311 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 2: the fact that you have that in your bag already, right, 1312 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,120 Speaker 2: you know, you didn't have to search for that being clutch, 1313 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 2: that's usually one of the harder things to figure out. 1314 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,680 Speaker 2: I think the easier thing to figure out is to 1315 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,880 Speaker 2: play more consistently the first three quarters. You see so 1316 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,240 Speaker 2: many Sam Darnold tonight. There are a lot of people 1317 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 2: wondering if he would collapse under the weight of the 1318 01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:28,840 Speaker 2: moment because he has so many times in his career. 1319 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,960 Speaker 2: Now he's on a great team and he played great tonight, 1320 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:39,000 Speaker 2: but he had had moments where he just could not finish. 1321 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 2: And here we are with Bonnicks, who has already figured 1322 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:46,280 Speaker 2: that part out and the team around him. It's all 1323 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 2: very exciting stuff in my opinion. A couple more text 1324 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 2: says we wrap things up, we'll be right back on 1325 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,240 Speaker 2: the KA Broncos radio network. That is unfortunately the way 1326 01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:00,600 Speaker 2: this season ends. But man, what a ride, What a ride, 1327 01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,160 Speaker 2: And you guys have been tremendous. I can't thank you 1328 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 2: enough over the course of my time doing Broncos React 1329 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,320 Speaker 2: from Game one when the Broncos beat the Tennessee Titans, 1330 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,840 Speaker 2: or I guess we actually go back doing Broncos React 1331 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 2: even in the preseason. This is game twenty two for 1332 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 2: us this year, which is the longest one, for sure 1333 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:22,400 Speaker 2: that I've done. But I can't thank you guys enough. 1334 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 2: It's it's a blessing.

And one of the callers that called it, 1337 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,160 Speaker 2: I think it was John earlier, was talking about the 1338 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:41,720 Speaker 2: emotional game, the Giants game. You know, that was the 1339 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:46,960 Speaker 2: Damarius Thomas game when they were retiring his number and 1340 01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 2: putting him in the Ring of Fame in that comeback, 1341 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 2: you know, and I had some I had some stuff 1342 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,560 Speaker 2: going on with my with my mom at the time, 1343 01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:58,560 Speaker 2: and you know, you guys were you guys were really kind, 1344 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 2: and you know a lot of you had stuff too, 1345 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 2: And that's just such an amazing thing to be part 1346 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 2: of that community.
