Speaker 1: dot com.

18
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: Dave, what about this?

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Very quickly? What about this game with Jacksonville? Does have

20
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: you concerned? If there is anything you mentioned turnovers as

21
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: being the primary one, like giving Jacksonville's defense takeaways.

22
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean and Jacksonville, I mean Jack's sill is

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 3: going to test the Broncos run defense, right. You you

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: want Trevor Lawrence to have to play the way he

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: did against the Jets, and the Broncos defense is by

26
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: far better than the Jets. And you want the crowd

27
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: to be in the game the way they were in

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: the game when the Broncos beat the Packers made a

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: very very difficult on Jordan Love.

30
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 4: So not not concerned.

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: I just think I think it's a good football team

32
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: coming up here, and they have I mean, the Broncos

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: have absolutely plenty to play for, but so does Jacksonville, which,

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: you know, two good.

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: Teams going at it.

36
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: I think I think Denver will will win this game,

37
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: and the.

38
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 4: Only I guess not.

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: It's not troubling, but when you think about it, they

40
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: won eleven consecutive games, and I just know in the

41
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: NFL that is an extraordinary accomplishment. So you start to

42
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: sort of wonder. I know the players and the coaches

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: don't think this way, but you start to wonder, like, hey,

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: are they better off losing the game in the regular season.

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: I was thinking the same You know you don't. I

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: guarantee you they don't think that way. But I'm just

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: saying to win eleven consecutive games in the NFL is

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: beyond extraordinary, and this team has done it with three

49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: more regular season games to go.

50
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: Interesting, you brought that up because I was thinking the same. Obviously,

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 5: you want them to win enough games to be the

53
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 5: number one seed, certainly win the AFC West. But I

54
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 5: think in some ways a loss can benefit you going

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 5: into the playoffs, like especially when you've won so many

56
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 5: in a row, just get it out of the way.

57
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 5: But I don't know if they're going to have that luxury.

58
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 5: I think they may have to win all three games

59
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: to do accomplish what they want to accomplish.

60
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you can.

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, mathematically, you could sew up the AFC West

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: and the one seed this weekend. But you'd need Buffalo,

63
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: the Page and the Chargers all three to lose and

64
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos to win. So that's all possible, right, I mean,

65
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: under the perspective of anything is possible. The Patriots are

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: playing at the Baltimore Ravens, the Chargers are playing at

67
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. The Buffalo Bills are at the Browns,

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: so that one maybe a little bit tougher. Although we

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: had Shelby on yesterday he said they were fired up

70
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: to play the Bills.

71
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Cleveland's got a good defense. But you know,

72
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: you would you would favor the Bills in that if

73
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: the Chargers and the Broncos would end with the same

74
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 3: regular season record, I haven't even looked at the tiebreaker,

75
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: have you.

76
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: Not for that?

77
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Because if they have the same record, I mean, I

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: guess that at that point, because the Bills are a

79
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: couple of games or sorry, the Chargers are a couple

80
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: of games back, so that means the Chargers would have

81
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: swept them, then I guess the Chargers would have the

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: head to head.

83
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. So I mean I think I think

84
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: head to head is the first. Yeah, tiebreaker.

85
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: It depends on if there's two teams involved or three teams.

86
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: There's right, there's a formulae in the NFL. I just

87
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: don't off the top of my head. In terms of

88
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: the Patriots, if the Broncos win two of their remaining

89
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: three games, the Patriots cannot be the number one seed.

90
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: They can't catch them.

91
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: Nope.

92
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: So make of that which you will what's the franchise record,

93
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 5: twelve in a row?

94
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: I think thirteen? Is it?

95
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 3: Thirteen? They won thirteen? They won thirteen games to open

96
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: the season. Back in nineteen ninety eight.

97
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: Okay, and you.

98
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 5: Were calling that that was your first year as the

99
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 5: play by play no voice, Well, the year before was.

100
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: I actually did.

101
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: Play by play in ninety six also, But that was

102
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: a fun those three years, ninety six, ninety seven, ninety eight.

103
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: I did road game play by play in ninety six,

104
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: home game color, then full time full time in ninety seven.

105
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: They didn't the Broncos didn't lose a home game in

106
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: that three year span. They were twenty four and oh

107
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 3: in the regular seams. Must have been a lot of fun.

108
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: It was.

109
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great text to ask Dave what he thinks

110
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: about bon Nicks?

111
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: What do you think about bon Nicks?

112
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: Like him?

113
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: I think he's.

114
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: You know, I think he's got that that special something

115
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: that is really hard to hard to quantify. I think

116
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: he's a playmaker. I think he's got he's got a

117
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: fearless countenance, which can be more good than bad, can

118
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: be a little bit of both, but I look at

119
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: it as being more positive.

120
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: He's fearless.

121
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a throw that he doesn't think

122
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: he can't make on the field, which again I think

123
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: is more positive than negative, can be both. And there's

124
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: again I said, after the I think the Giants game,

125
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: I said, there's a there's a backyard beauty to his

126
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: game where he at times is just running around like

127
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: we all used to in the backyard, trying to make

128
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: a play, you know, and you got to avoid the

129
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: oak tree in the middle of the playing field, and

130
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: you know Timmy's hiding behind the buick and the other driveway,

131
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: you know, and you just you just go out and play.

132
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: And there's, to me, there's a little bit of that

133
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 4: in Bo's game.

134
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 5: The last four games or so, he's been as good

135
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 5: as any quarterback in the league. But before then we

136
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 5: sat here talking about how he needed to get better

137
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 5: and how he could get better. What do you think

138
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 5: has changed in his game the last four weeks? Why

139
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 5: did all of a sudden click?

140
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: Why?

141
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: No one thing?

142
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: And danren Rolatsky had this interesting sort of stat on

143
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: ESPN earlier today talking about the Broncos in no huddle

144
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: because it was a season high thirteen plays this last

145
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: weekend against the Packers in no huddle, they had one

146
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven yards of offense, averaging thirteen point six

147
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: yards per attempt. These are all seasoned highs, by the way,

148
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: thirteen plays, one hundred eleven yards, thirteen point six per attempt.

149
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: Bonix was seven for seven for ninety five yards when

150
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: they went no huddle.

151
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 5: And you could see, certainly you want to do that

152
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 5: here at home. They take advantage of the altitude here.

153
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: And you could see the Packers were gassed in that

154
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 5: fourth quarter. And I remember seeing Michael Parsons on the

155
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 5: sideline sucking on oxygen before obviously before he got hurt.

156
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 5: And when I saw that, I just I knew Broncos

157
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 5: were going to win that football game. And I think

158
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 5: they should employ that style of offense a lot more

159
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 5: than they do.

160
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: Completely agree.

161
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: And you got Jacksonville coming in right, so coming from

162
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: sea level, well.

163
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: Right yeah, right on the ocean, right on the beach,

164
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 5: they certainly could take advantage of them with an uptempo game.

165
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: And obviously you see there with Bonix the numbers are

166
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: what they are. I mean, that is season high thirteen plays.

167
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: Although there was a very funny moment today Sean I

168
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: don't want to say this was Luca.

169
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: I love their relationships.

170
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Now he has Chris Thomas and Luca, they have this

171
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: sort of dynamic. Okay, So I kept the question in

172
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: here because Sean was asked about Bonix playing a season

173
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: high of under center this last week, and this is

174
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: what this is how that went went.

175
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: Last last three weeks postplayed on your centers just keeps

176
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: going on, and.

177
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: It went up last week. Yeah, I think I would

178
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: say this.

179
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 6: So we knew a little bit about how they scouted,

180
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 6: and so if you know how they scout, then you

181
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 6: you you have your your people self scout you the

182
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 6: same way. And so you know, we wanted to be

183
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 6: more play action under center. There were just certain things

184
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 6: that we wanted to to do that were the opposite,

185
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 6: maybe of of what we've been doing. And so I

186
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 6: wouldn't have kept track of that pitch count.

187
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: But you're my gun tempo guy.

188
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: So you're my gun tempo guy.

189
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: So what about that, Dave?

190
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean, playing a season high under center, season high

191
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: in snaps in hurry up or no huddle, and Bow

192
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: looked his best.

193
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: I mean we're drawing too many conclusions to that.

194
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: No, I don't think I don't think you are.

195
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: You know, Shawn has has pushed back a little bit

196
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: on that from time to time, but I think he's

197
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: I mean, sewan Is is a really bright offensive coach

198
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: and ultimately he's going to do whatever he thinks puts

199
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: Bow in the best absolute position.

200
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: What you want to have. I think this late in

201
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 4: the season, in particular, in a season like.

202
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: This, when there's so much still to be accomplished, you

203
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: want to have that quarterback feel it as confident as

204
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 3: he possibly can. And I think Bo is really confident

205
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 3: when the tempo gets increased. I think I've seen Bow

206
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: at his best now. There has to be balance between

207
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: increasing the tempo too much and if you're not getting

208
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: first downs, then you tend to wear out your defense

209
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: because you increase the defensive snaps, you know, twenty five percent.

210
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: You don't want to do that, So you've got to

211
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: be efficient. If you want to go Temple on offense,

212
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: you've got to be efficient. You've got to be cranking

213
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: out some first downs. If you do that, then I

214
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: think you start to wear on the opposition, especially here

215
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: in Denver. But I think Bo relishes that and I

216
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: think it allows his sort of what I've coined the

217
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: phrase his backyard beauty.

218
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: To sort of take over from time to time.

219
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 5: It seemed like early in the season the game was

220
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 5: a little too fast for him at times, and maybe

221
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 5: Sean Payton was pushing him like that to kind of

222
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 5: get him to get more comfortable with everything sped up.

223
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 5: And if so, if that was part of the plan,

224
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 5: it worked out perfectly because as we're coming down the

225
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 5: stretch now, he's very comfortable in that type of offense. Now,

226
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 5: early in the season he didn't look real comfortable. We

227
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: saw him with bad throwing mechanics, and you know, he's

228
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: breaking out of the pocket too much too early, breaking

229
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: out of the back of the pocket, bailing out that

230
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 5: was He fixed that very quickly. But looking back on it,

231
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 5: maybe this was part of the plan for Sean. He's

232
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 5: going to push him really early, make him uncomfortable, and

233
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 5: he got used to it, because he sure looks comfortable

234
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 5: now and with three games to go, I still think

235
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 5: we haven't seen.

236
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: The best of bo.

237
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 5: I think he's going to continue to get better this season,

238
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 5: not just his career. I think this season there's still

239
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 5: an upside for him, and it's happening at just the

240
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 5: right time.

241
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I completely agree, and I think this is

242
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: part of the reason why I didn't like, and I

243
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: still to this moment don't like some of the analysis

244
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: that gets written about the Broncos, specifically the offense in

245
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: Bow where it almost like thinks that it's static, Like

246
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: his performance, especially early in the season, was what it's

247
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: always going to be.

248
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: And the game against the Raiders, the game against the Jets.

249
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: You know that we talked about that Jeremy Fowler blurb

250
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: that we were discussing early on why he doesn't believe

251
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: in the Broncos in the postseason. It's because he's like, ah,

252
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm still thinking about those games and thinking

253
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: about how bo Nicks looked in those games, and oh,

254
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: I just can't shake those specific ones. And it's like,

255
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: boy boy, you know, you're ignoring what the last months

256
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: has been, where he's playing at a top ten, if

257
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: not top five level.

258
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

259
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: People grow, people change, including improve, especially during the law

260
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: course of a long season.

261
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, I've had of thought maybe you know,

262
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 5: he's peaked too, really, but I don't think he's peaked.

263
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 5: I don't think this team is peaked yet. And we

264
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 5: talk about them playing a complete game. We've only seen

265
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 5: bits and pieces of complete games up to this point.

266
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 5: Last week was I think maybe the best game they

267
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 5: played all season, but it's going to get better from there.

268
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 5: On top of that, the first half defense struggled a

269
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 5: bit against the Packers, then they figured some things out

270
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 5: the second half of Man did they pressure Jordan Love?

271
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 5: Jordan Love, I think fifty two percent of his dropbacks

272
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 5: he was pressured on. That's great and there's not too

273
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 5: many quarterbacks in the league that are going to be

274
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 5: successful when you can pressure the quarterback at that rate.

275
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Here's Bonix earlier today talking about the Broncos fans supports

276
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: that he's had so far.

277
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: They've been extremely supportive.

278
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 7: They've allowed me to you earlier question, allowed me to

279
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 7: fail and then get back to success. Allowed me to

280
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 7: have success and you know, manage it. And I think

281
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 7: it's you know, all about you know, riding the roller

282
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 7: coaster of the highs and the lows, and you know,

283
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 7: we've been able to put something together this year. I

284
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 7: think that's been a good product for them to enjoy.

285
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 7: And I think it's just a great home environment. Is

286
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 7: one of the best, you know, atmospheres in the entire country,

287
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 7: not just professionally, but you know, we're starting to really play.

288
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 7: It feels like each game is a playoff game, and

289
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 7: each game has a lot of importance to it, and

290
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 7: so having a home crowd and you know, playing at

291
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 7: home is uh, you know, we obviously wouldn't want to

292
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 7: go on the road in this situation, but you know,

293
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 7: it's extremely exciting. You know, it feels like we're you know,

294
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 7: getting it back to what it was back in this heyday,

295
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 7: and I think it's uh, you know, I think back

296
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 7: to what it should be.

297
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that. You guys echo that as well.

298
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: Calling the last two home games, the Chiefs game and

299
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: then now the Packers game, I'd say it's almostitute for

300
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos fans too, because last year they were on

301
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: the road for the one playoff game in Buffalo. This year,

302
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: we've known for a little while that they're probably going

303
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: to be hosting at least one playoff game.

304
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: Oh, you're you're you're absolutely right. I think that, you know,

305
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 3: the last couple of games, and I think largely due

306
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: to well a combination of the Broncos fans being excited

307
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: about the year, the home team is having and also

308
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: due to the opponents and what was at stake with

309
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: Kansas City and Green Bay, But those two games, just

310
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: from an atmosphere standpoint, have felt a lot like playoff games.

311
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: I mean in the Broncos, I mean haven't had a

312
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: home playoff game since twenty fifteen.

313
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: Right.

314
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: You think about that AFC Championship game, and I call

315
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: that game, I mean that there was so much electricity

316
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: in the stadium, and the Broncos got up to a

317
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: great start, but I mean that was you could just

318
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: almost feel it, and you know, I think it's gonna

319
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: That's why this is a very dangerous team to me

320
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: for the rest of the AFC, right because they I

321
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: think they're a really good team, but I think they're

322
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: a young team. And sometimes and maybe this was what

323
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 3: Sean was referring to, you know, earlier in training camp

324
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: and he talked about something about the youthfulness of this

325
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: team and so forth. But sometimes you can have a

326
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: young team and they just don't know what they don't know,

327
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: and you can't you can't shake them off.

328
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: They don't get tight because they just they just don't know.

329
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: They've been doing this all year long, and they've been

330
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: coming back, and they've been winning in improbable ways, and

331
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: they've they've woned dominant ways from time to time, and

332
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: they've looked like, nah, they're not very good offense, and

333
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: then lately they've looked like they're pretty.

334
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 4: Damn good on offense.

335
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: So I think this is a tough team for anybody

336
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: in the AFC to have to come to Denver in

337
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: January and find a way to win four quarters and

338
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: win a game.

339
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that building was I felt it shaking in the

340
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. It was that loud.

341
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 5: I think they had one hundred and twenty two decibels

342
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 5: at one point from what I saw. And to me,

343
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 5: there's places in the league that are tough to play

344
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 5: in loud stadiums. This could be the toughest place to

345
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 5: play when you combine the altitude. If the Broncos fans

346
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 5: are going to bring it like they've done the last

347
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 5: couple of games and make it that loud with the altitude,

348
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 5: this is the toughest place to play.

349
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 4: And Dave's right, You're gonna have at.

350
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 5: Least one home playoff game, hopefully more than that, and

351
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 5: they're gonna be a tough team to beat at home

352
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 5: for sure.

353
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: Here's what Bow had to say about the Jaguars defense.

354
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 7: They're a really good football team. They're very multiple, they

355
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 7: do a lot of different things. They do a great

356
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 7: job tackling, getting the Carrott Bulkers to the ground. They

357
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 7: forced a lot of turnovers, and they're just really good,

358
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 7: really good defense. They got several good football players on

359
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 7: their team, and I think they're doing a really good

360
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 7: job with their team with their new coaches.

361
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: It's such a weird defense in a lot of ways

362
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: because they're the number one run defense, and Shawn even

363
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: talked about that today, eighty six point three yards allowed

364
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: per game. We're very late in the season, and Sean

365
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: POI that is like, if I give you that statur

366
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: early in the year, you're like, all right, we don't

367
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: know if that's a good run defense. This late in

368
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: the year, that's a good run defense. They don't get

369
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks, though they have thirty fewer sacks

370
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: than the Broncos. They are the twenty fifth ranked team

371
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: in sacks twenty eight twenty eight sacks. Their third down

372
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: number is twenty sixth. But they get a lot of takeaways.

373
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: They get a lot of takeaways and they're very good

374
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: run defense. It's when you watch them, it's like there

375
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: isn't other than their edge rushers. That's the thing that

376
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: jumps out to me right away is like, Okay, they

377
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: got a couple of good edge rushers right between Walker.

378
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: And heinz Allen.

379
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, hinz Allen not practicing today, that

380
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: could be interesting to monitor. You got Devin Lloyd inside

381
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: linebacker leeds the league interceptions.

382
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: He's been pretty good this year. I don't know about

383
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 2: the secondary.

384
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure how they're so good at run

385
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: stopping unless it's just that teams have to throw against

386
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: them all the time because that offense is so good.

387
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, tough to tell because we haven't had a chance

388
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 3: to see every single game. But I think you have

389
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: to respect teams. As Sean said, when you look at

390
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: the numbers and they come in this late in the

391
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: season giving up that few yards on the ground, then

392
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 3: you assume, and I think rightfully so, that it's going

393
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 3: to be it's going to be a struggle, and it's

394
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: going to be tough sledding. Find ways to run the

395
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: ball again. You and I and Rick were talking earlier

396
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: in the show about you know what concerned me about

397
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 3: Jacksonville the way they create turnovers.

398
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: You've got to be again the word manage. You want

399
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 4: to manage Bow.

400
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 3: In terms of some of his decisions, but you also

401
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 3: want to turn him loose and let him do what

402
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: he's shown he's.

403
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: Really comfortable doing.

404
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: And that's not to mean the Bow can't be successful

405
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: from in the pocket, because I've seen enough this year

406
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: where he has stood in the pocket and delivered the

407
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: ball on time with accuracy, so he can do that too.

408
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: I'm just saying he's at his best. I think when he.

409
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: Creates a little bit of off schedule stuff, and that

410
00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: is hard, that's hard to coach into certain situations because

411
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 3: it just happens naturally, and it's also hard to count

412
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: on that being sustainable for a length of time. And

413
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 3: I say that again, and I think Bo's had a

414
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: great stretch of play, and I think the Broncos will

415
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 3: find a way to beat Jacksonville. Just trying to take

416
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: you into the mind of really maybe what guys out

417
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 3: there can be thinking about the last three games.

418
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 5: When you look at their schedule, they haven't had a

419
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 5: tough schedule to get to the point they're at today.

420
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: They beat a couple of good teams. They beat the Chargers,

421
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 5: they beat them handily. Fact, yeah, beat the Chiefs. The

422
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 5: Chiefs were good by three. But the rest of their

423
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 5: schedule it pretty soft schedule and in fact, recently on

424
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 5: their streak here, they haven't played too many tough teams.

425
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: So they are what they are.

426
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 5: And to me, it's the quarterback that has really turned

427
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 5: his game around here in these past five six games.

428
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 5: I think they're six and one in their last seven games,

429
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 5: and he's playing lights out. They're scoring a lot of points.

430
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 5: This could end up being a shootout game. But I

431
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 5: do think the Bronco the Broncos defense. They played the

432
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 5: Texans and lost to them. Bronco's defense I think will

433
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 5: slow them down. And with bow Nicks and the offense

434
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 5: getting better every week, I like our chances this week.

435
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

436
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,880

Speaker 5: I've been a fun show. Yeah to say, I'm kind

448
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 5: of laughed out, I really am.

449
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe the last during that break anyways, five

Speaker 1: six h zeros are way comments for Dell text line.

451
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: I've heard a couple of things. My mind is still

452
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: blown from what we just.

453
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: Talked about our conversation off here. Huh yeah, yeah, you

454
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 4: and Sharon Moore, Yeah that one.

455
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: That one, uh huh yeah, I can't repeat anything.

456
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so very quickly here Joe Burrow, this was kind

457
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: of making the rounds today. He had his uh presser

458
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: and he was asked if he's had any thoughts about

459
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: being with the Bengals.

460
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 3: Next year in your mind when you're not the quarterback

461
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: with the Bengals next year.

462
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: I could, I couldn't see.

463
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: I can't see that now.

464
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: Didn't you every thought about the possibility of not being

465
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback here or daring here career or.

466
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: You think about a lot of things, and when.

467
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 8: You look at quarterbacks over the course of their time,

468
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 8: great month, Peyton Brady, you would kind of have to

469
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 8: understand that you never know what this legal brand. Way

470
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 8: you learned from watching how their careers.

471
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 7: On the folded.

472
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of crazy things happen every year. Michael

473
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: Parsons got traded.

474
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 4: Right before the seat, right before the season.

475
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: I think this year is as something I hadn't seen

476
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: in a long time in the NFL.

477
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 6: So crazy things gonna happen.

478
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: Wow, somebody was typing their ass off.

479
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, a loud clicking.

480
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know, like a lot of people are

481
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: having especially after last week when you had sort of

482
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: the introspective are you having fun anymore playing the game?

483
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: And then he went out and just played terrible, I

484
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: mean awful against the Ravens. So there's a lot of

485
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: people sort of running with this idea that maybe Joe

486
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: Burrow was thinking about retiring or it doesn't want to

487
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: be the CINCINNTI Bengals anymore.

488
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

489
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: I like to read between the lines, Dave, I don't know.

490
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: You don't always like to read between the lines. Is

491
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: this something you read between the lines on though?

492
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: I think you can. Yeah, I.

493
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: Think there's zero chance that he retires, Okay, like zero,

494
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 3: But I do think you can read between the lines

495
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 3: that he's unhappy with, and then there's probably there's probably

496
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: a bag full of things, right, I mean, in terms

497
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 3: of the injuries he's dealt with, those are hard if

498
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: you're constantly rehabbing yourself got hurt again this year, hasn't

499
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 3: had great protection. You know, one of the issues I

500
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: think we should point out. I mean, Joe was really

501
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 3: and I love Joe Burrow. His game is toughness, how

502
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 3: he approaches the game. I mean, he's a pro, but

503
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 3: he was one of the biggest advocates. They go out

504
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: and sign t Higgins right after they signed Jamar Chase,

505
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 3: and they have spent a buttload of money on two

506
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: wide receivers in a salary cap era, and you could

507
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: draw the conclusion that the money could have been and

508
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 3: maybe he should have been spent on acquiring offensive lineman

509
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: and protection for Joe Burrow. So, you know, part of

510
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: I think part of the dilemma that he's now in.

511
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: You know, is his is his own doing.

512
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 3: So it wouldn't surprise me if Joe envisioned going somewhere

513
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 3: else and starting over. I think a lot of guys

514
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: do that. Now what would it take, you know, for

515
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: Cincinnati to trade Joe Burrow. No, boy, that's going to

516
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 3: be a buttload of draft choices. And Parsons was two firsts.

517
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: That's Parsons like, I mean, it's one of the best

518
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: head rushers. But this quarterback, yep, I mean you're talking

519
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 3: about three first I mean, when's the last quarterback? How

520
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 3: old was Joe Burrow? Twenty seven?

521
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: Maybe that sounds blue.

522
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 4: Think he's older? Is he? I want to say twenty eight,

523
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 4: twenty nine.

524
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: We'll turn thirty this month. I mean he really just

525
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: turned twenty nine.

526
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 4: He would be He would be, without question, franchise quarterback.

527
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: Now one of the pushbacks would be he said, a

528
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 3: number of injuries. You can't forecast injuries in the NFL.

529
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: But how many quarterbacks that are franchise guys have been

530
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: traded at the age of twenty nine? I can't. I mean,

531
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 3: I'm sure there are some as we sit here and

532
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 3: chop it up, and I can't think of I mean,

533
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 3: Dan Reese tried to tried to trade John Elway, right,

534
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: so Washington, we're talking just quarterbacks, Yeah, okay, yeah, franchise

535
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: franchise quarterbacks. Yeah, I can't think it hasn't. I mean

536
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: it doesn't. I'm sure we're missing somebody, but it doesn't

537
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: happen too many times.

538
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 5: He certainly left the door open for it is what

539
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 5: it feels like, right, He's holding all the cards, he's

540
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 5: got all the leverage. He can pretty much call a

541
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: shot here. I mean, I would take the least they

542
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 5: would do is fire the head coach. I mean Carson

543
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 5: Palmer pulled it off. Carson was a little bit troubleser,

544
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 5: right right, but he forced his way out of Cincinnati

545
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: because he said, listen, then I'm going to retire that.

546
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson was the one that Zach just pointed out.

547
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be that.

548
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 2: There was three firsts, a third, two fourths and a sixth.

549
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: Goodness, goodness, we're just thinking.

550
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: About that now, right, three first, three first, a third,

551
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: two fourths and a sixth and they paid him that contract.

552
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 4: And that was after the whole massages.

553
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: Well, but it had it hadn't really they knew about it,

554
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: but it hadn't really hit it like, it hadn't hit

555
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: to the level that it I think it was, well, no,

556
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: it was out there, yeah, but it was like there

557
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 3: were at that point, I think there were only a

558
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: couple of women who were accusing him of inappropriate conduct.

559
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 4: It wasn't you know.

560
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: I don't think the Browns knew there were twenty three women, yeah,

561
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: you know involved, but that I guess.

562
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 4: That would be.

563
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's as close to let me see when he

564
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: was traded, Like what age he was at when he

565
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: was traded.

566
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: I think he was younger than twenty nine. I'm going

567
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 4: to guess I think he those.

568
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Two he was twenty six. Okay, Yeah, so that would

569
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: be the closest here. You're talking about a guy that

570
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: looks like a franchise quarterback.

571
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: Now he was, no, he wasill his rookie.

572
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: Contract, like at the end of it, he knew he

573
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: needed a new contract. Yeah, if I remember correctly, like

574
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: the Texans hadn't given him an extension yet.

575
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: I think that is I think that is correct. So

576
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 3: I mean I can't honestly Marino.

577
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 4: No, l Way, no, Kelly, No.

578
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: I mean Matt well Well Stafford was past his prime

579
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 3: when he got traded from Detroit.

580
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 2: Rights for golf yep.

581
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: Now there were I mean there were draft choices given

582
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: up by the Rams for that deal. Matter of fact,

583
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 3: there were significant draft choices given up by LA to

584
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: Detroit and he was thirty two and what did what

585
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 3: did LA have to give?

586
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: No?

587
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: See you? It was a pretty good haul, it was, No,

588
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: it definitely was.

589
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: It paid off even at thirty two.

590
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: Jered Goff and three draft picks twenty twenty two and

591
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three first rounders in a twenty twenty one

592
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: to third.

593
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: So two ones and a three and for a guy

594
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: who is thirty two plus the starting quarterback.

595
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: That's right, that's a great trade for Detroit.

596
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: Really was.

597
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: Oh yah. Again, that's not to say good for both teams.

598
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no.

599
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: Doubt, Like I mean the Rasant championship. But I'm just saying, like,

600
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: think about it.

601
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: From Detroit side.

602
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: They got a starting quarterback, they got all those draft

603
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: capa which, by the way, they've turned into very good players.

604
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: Yes, now that they have to pay all of them.

605
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 5: But and we know that the Bengals ownership is a problem. Yeah,

606
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 5: they're probably the cheapest guys in the league. Everybody knows that.

607
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 5: It doesn't seem like anybody wants to play there. Now,

608
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 5: Joe's from Ohio, so I'm sure there's something to that,

609
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: but I I think he's going to ask to be

610
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 5: traded and then they can rebuild their team.

611
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: It just feels like he could very easily in all

612
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: those answers last week, this week, all those answers, I

613
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: I am a Cincinnati Bengal and I want to be here.

614
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: We're building something here.

615
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 4: And he didn't even come close to that. Yeah, I agree.

616
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: He sort of painted the picture of like, well, anything's possible,

617
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: anybody can be traded anytime.

618
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 4: He's setting it up.

619
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: That what it feels like, Benjamin Albright is sauntered into

620
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: the studio. He's got about thirty minutes of Broncos Country

621
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: Tonight's coming up here at the top of the hour

622
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: before we hand things off to Colorado versus Portland States.

623
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: And once again, no fans. You're gonna be at that game.

624
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: We'll have the pregame action story at six thirty, the

625
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: tip will be at seven, and yeah, it's gonna be

626
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: as an interesting audio. We keep talking about what that'll

627
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: sound like with no fans. Look, Portland State has fans, Ryan,

628
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,360
