1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: It has been very patient of you, Nick, because I

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: know that you really want to talk about the defense.

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: So I do want to give some love to the

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Broncos defense. I thought they were spectacular yesterday. He had

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: five sacks, you held Drake May Now again they were

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: playing more conservative there in the second half. Ten completions

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: for eighty six yards passing Dave.

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: We had a lot of discussion last week leading up

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship game about the defense, not a lot,

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: not forcing any punts against Buffalo. Seemingly Josh Allen moved

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: up and down the for nine Seemingly he did move

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: up and down the field on him. They were spectacular.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: They gave that team every chance to win yesterday.

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: Yes, I think they did. Yeah, I mean the defense

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: played well enough to win. You hold an opponent to

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: ten points. The Patriots had the one drive, sixteen play

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: drive sixty four yards I think nine thirty one off

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: the clock, but the Broncos stopped them from getting into

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: the end zone. The patriots lone touchdown came on a

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: drive of twelve yards. That's what makes things even more frustrating,

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: because when you get a home game an AFC Championship game,

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: and then you get your defense to hold the visiting

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: team to ten points.

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: Now, I know, again you balance.

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: It out by saying, well, the Broncos were without bon Nicks,

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: and that was definitely a factor, a negative factor.

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: But it's just frustrating.

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure everybody out there is frustrated with the notion

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: that they couldn't find a way to win that game,

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: and that game was imminently winnable. And I've said, Nick said,

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: you never know when you're going to get back to

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: the AFC Championship game. This was my thirty sixth year

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: broadcasting Broncos games. Thirty six years, and I have broadcast

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: seven AFC Championship games. So yeah, I mean, you know

36
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: you can do the math. It just doesn't happen frequently

37
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: for teams. New England had an unbelievable run with Brady

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: and Belichick. Kansas City had a shorter run, yet unbelievable

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: for sure with Mahomes and Andy Reid. But other than

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: those two and everybody else is just scrapping like crazy,

41
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: year to year to year trying to figure out a

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: way to win a game. So disappointing for sure.

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is one that you never really get over.

44
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: And the only way to get over you, guys, is

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 4: you got to get back there. I mean, because think

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: about where the Broncos are at this point. Last year,

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 4: they lost to Buffalo when no one really thought they

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 4: would be there in bo Nix's first year, right, so

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: they are well ahead of the schedule, and then coming

50
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: into the twenty twenty five season, I gave them ten

51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: and eleven wins.

52
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 5: Now, unless I.

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: Know something a little different, I don't recall what you

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: guys picked at the beginning of the twenty twenty five season.

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 4: But I didn't have the Broncos playing this well and

56
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 4: hosting as a number one seed. I didn't see it. It

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: was great that it happened, and the likelihood that everything

58
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: will fall the same way. It is just like time

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: doesn't work that way for us, and the skeleton is

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: gonna be different next year. You're gonna have tougher opponents,

61
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: You're gonna play teams that are over five hundred, You're

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: gonna play more of those teams, and you're gonna play

63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: a lot of those teams on the road. So this

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 4: was a moment, man, and I I felt for those

65
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: guys watching them across the field to congratulate the Patriots guys.

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 5: And I didn't have to be in the locker room

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 5: to know.

68
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: What the temperament was, because when I was in that

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: same situation, I didn't.

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: Want to talk to anyone.

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: It's like, if you don't get to freak out my

72
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: face right now, especially if you asking me a stupid question.

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 5: Well, hey, what did you think about when this happened?

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, what the hell do you think I was

76
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 5: thinking about?

77
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: That? Media just trying to do their job here, dick,

78
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: You know, just ask better damn questions. How about that?

79
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: Because either you're asking a dumb question or you're asking

80
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: a dumb question to alicited response that you can I

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: guess and not. At that time there was no Twitter.

82
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: But in this day and age where someone can actually

83
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: go viral.

84
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: The media is feeling a loon, intimidated by the the

85
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: what you were looking at them?

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: Like, get out of my face, looking at you.

87
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: He's looking right at me while he's talking about this

88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: dumb questions.

89
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I felt I got I gotta fall back

90
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 4: because when I was in that mold give me that description,

91
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: I was right there and I a visualized the media

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: person who asked me that dumb question.

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 5: They're still in this media market.

94
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't.

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: I don't mean to put that on you, Ryan, but

96
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: I got transported back in time for just a second.

97
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, I kind of packed up because

98
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: I gotta woo saw for a second.

99
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: Hold on fellas, got you guys, keep talking.

100
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: I gotta be calmed down for a second. Take a beat.

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, with the way the game played out,

102
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: if Sidham doesn't have that fumbledo, did the Patriots even

103
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: score a touchdown?

104
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: Dave?

105
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a what if on top

106
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: of what ifs. But I'm just saying hard to.

107
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, just the way it played out, I don't know.

108
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 3: Hard for me to well, it's impossible to know, but

109
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: hard for me to make a case that they would

110
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: right me too. I mean the drive in in the

111
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: third quarter, they at one point had six or seven

112
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: consecutive runs, and they were just going to be very

113
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: very content with banging out three I think, using time

114
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 3: in the clock and not allowing the Broncos pass rush,

115
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: which was pretty good even though Drake May didn't throw

116
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: it that much, still was pretty good. They I think,

117
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: and we talked about it leading up to the game.

118
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: Mike Vrabel didn't want to let Benito and Cooper and

119
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: company wreck that game plan and basically win the game

120
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: for the Broncos, And so it turned into a Remandre

121
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: Stevenson Drake May running game. And then you have a

122
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: couple of the turnovers by the Broncos and the fourth

123
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: and one call, and it really it comes down to that.

124
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: It comes down it comes down.

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: To a costly turnover by Stidham trying to get rid

126
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: of the football. But I think if Tyler Badet, I

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 3: think again, I want to make sure because I think

128
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: it's unfair for media guys to act like they know

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: what the play is. I'm I've looked at that play

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: ten times. My best football guess is that Bidet is

131
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: supposed to get into the flat on the left side

132
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: and probably sift through the line of scrimmage. Had he

133
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: done that, there's nobody there. And I think one other

134
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: play you know that we should mention was the It

135
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: was after the Broncos had a seven to nothing lead.

136
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: They had three receivers to the left Mims, two receivers

137
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: to the right. One came in motion. They run a

138
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: quick tunnel screen to Mems. If Steady gets nineteen the

139
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: ball on that play, he might still be he'd be

140
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: north of Laramie right now, he'd still be running.

141
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's when they look.

142
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: At that play and Jared Didham's hard on himself. But

143
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: when when everybody individually looks at that play, they're gonna

144
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: be screaming at their computer. I mean they're gonna because

145
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: that that's not only a completion and a big game.

146
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: I would think the way the Patriots played that thing,

147
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: Mems is gonna score. Now it's fourteen to nothing in

148
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: the first quarter.

149
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: Once the game, when you go back in watch all

150
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: of these plays, I remember that play and you called

151
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: it to you look at.

152
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: Him and say, okay, well here was some plays that

153
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: we ran in practice that were successful and they should

154
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: have worked, but the execution wasn't there. And on that

155
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 4: that fall and you say, Talibra Day was the running back.

156
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: He kind of bumped into garre Boles and the pass

157
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: rusher coming uh in that off that left.

158
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: Side, he tries to go behind the balls left his

159
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: instead of going he's got you've got to go maybe

160
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: between miners and bulls I mean to sift. We used

161
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: to call it sift when a running back has to sift.

162
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: I mean literally, you're the first. We used to call

163
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: it first point of access, and we still call it

164
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: first point of access. You line up on one side,

165
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: your first point of access to the other side is

166
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: meaning that's an A, B or C gap. It's the

167
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: path of least resistance. But you're not gonna You're not

168
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: gonna run around a tackle who is past setting.

169
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: They're inviting the defensive line. They wanted the.

170
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: Rue and for me, I've seen that type of play

171
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: executed brilliantly in the pass but it was Darren Spros

172
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 4: in that row, smaller guy who knew how Like Dave said,

173
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: he's sifting through, he find the crees and then he

174
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 4: because they lose you in the backfield because they see

175
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: all those large bodies, but you don't run into another

176
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: body that has the same color jersey that you have on.

177
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: You just just can't do it.

178
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: So just for a second, I will say, as a

179
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: media member, there is an interesting balance. We've talked about

180
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: this for years, an interesting balance when you go approach

181
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: players immediately after a game, like from media side perspective,

182
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: you can get some of your best quotes because it's

183
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: very raw, it's very emotional win or loss. But on

184
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: the other side of that, there's no cool downtime for players,

185
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: and that's a little unfair because they might say something

186
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: that they may otherwise not want.

187
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: To, and so that's an interesting balance.

188
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: I think that we've always had that dance with the

189
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: media and the players because we as media want that

190
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: visceral emotional in the moments because it's so exciting.

191
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: Ryan they call that today clickbait, that's what they call that.

192
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: Is that clickbait?

193
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: To you, Dave, do you view that as a clickbait

194
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: moment that media are trying to get visceral rea for players?

195
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: I think that there are really good media members in

196
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: this town that understand the dynamic of dealing with players

197
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: at difficult times and coaches. I think there are a

198
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 3: number of really talented media members and frankly, there are

199
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: some that don't get enough credit for whatever the reason.

200
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: I do think you have a small handful that attempt

201
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: to elicit a response, mainly so that they can draw

202
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 3: attention to themselves, and that would just not be stylistically,

203
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: that would not be how I would approach it.

204
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: How's that for?

205
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: You know, again, I start, I started diplomatic. I started

206
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 3: by saying, there are some and I believe this. I

207
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: think I think this town is well covered. I think

208
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: you have some really smart and we're talking about football here,

209
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: really smart football media members that underst in the game

210
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: and ask good questions. To me, the reason to ask

211
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: a question of a coach or a player is to

212
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 3: get the response so that you can bring that response

213
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: to the fans, because fans don't get an opportunity too

214
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: often to ask the coach.

215
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: Or the player.

216
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 3: It's not so that you can elicit some sort of

217
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: response and then make it a story about how the

218
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: coach or the player was an a hole in terms

219
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: of how he reacted to your.

220
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: Dumb ass question, and other other than that, I'm I'm good.

221
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: So that reporter would be in essence or pooter hole,

222
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: right know that that reporter?

223
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did say, you know, uh, just stop trying

224
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: to draw.

225
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: I just say, stop trying to draw attention to yourself

226
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: by asking a question that you know is on the border,

227
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 3: might even be out of line. But cameras are rolling

228
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 3: tape wherecorders are rolling, and nowadays we have so many

229
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: platforms to play. You know, it's just I just I

230
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: don't like people. I just don't like people to do that.

231
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: I'm not to be either. You don't have a lot

232
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: in town here, but you have. You have a handful

233
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: of minus a couple maybe two or three fingers.

234
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you still have a couple of guys who

235
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: want to be that shot shot type of person to

236
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 4: say I'm going to ask a question that it's gonna

237
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: be really memorable, and that's what I just said, yes,

238
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: kind of intervalate people.

239
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 6: So I don't.

240
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: I don't.

241
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 4: I don't like those guys. And for me, when I

242
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: was a player, well, let you know too, you.

243
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: Still stared me down.

244
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: I'm staring you down because I looked at Dave and

245
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 4: I mean he looked at you because you're to my right.

246
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure when i'm communicating my

247
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: words get to you. Like to bounce involved in sesame street,

248
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure they get to you.

249
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to defend any of that perspective from

250
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: media members.

251
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: That's not, ever, how I've covered.

252
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 5: Your fellow members of the media.

253
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to defend that because it's not how

254
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: I approach the job like my I always view us

255
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: as conduit. I do this as as a way for

256
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: the fans to connect with the players.

257
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: And connect with their favorite team.

258
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 5: So I appreciate that.

259
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah so, but but I but I also understand

260
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: when you're trying to find your way through this medium,

261
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: there's there's a sense of maybe pressure you feel, whether

262
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: external or otherwise, to make your mark.

263
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: And I think that doing it at the expense.

264
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: Of where's the pressure come from?

265
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: Vosses sometimes.

266
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Well, no, just that hey, we need to get you

267
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: need to be more memorable kind of stuff.

268
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: Well, then if you want to be more memorable, ask

269
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: some damn good questions.

270
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: Is that simple? That doesn't always get the big reactions.

271
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 4: See, that's that's the problem. I did the reaction part.

272
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 4: You want to get trying to get a reaction, No,

273
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: ask your question, move along if you have a follow up.

274
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: Sometimes you may ask two questions at once, which never

275
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: goes well for a player.

276
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: No doubt.

277
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: Man, ass Joseph will not be the head coach of

278
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals.

279
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: Looks like they pivoted. Yeah, I look at it a

280
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: little bit differently, Okay, I think there was there was

281
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: another to use your term pivot. Then Okay, is he

282
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: back here next year? Do you think that? I don't.

283
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: I don't have any knowledge. I don't have any knowledge

284
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: of I would think.

285
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: I think if Ans decides not to either take a

286
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 3: head coaching job, or maybe one wasn't offered, or maybe

287
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: he decided a particular job was not the right one

288
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 3: for him, which I think happened, then I think the

289
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 3: Broncos would be very hard pressed not to bring him back.

290
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: That would be my personal opinion.

291
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: He had a spectacular season. He might even win Assistant

292
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. I mean, honestly, he won it

293
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: for the Pro Football Writers. It wouldn't surprise me if

294
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: we're talking to NFL honors that he wins it for

295
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: the AP.

296
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: He's spectacular, The defense is playing great.

297
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean we were talking about in the first hour

298
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: about hey, it's never going to be the same.

299
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: Every year you try to talk about building on it.

300
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: I like what Ben Johnson said the other day in

301
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: a press conference, because he said, you know, we started zero.

302
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: Is like anybody saying that we're building on something, you're not.

303
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: You started zero. Seawan has said similar things. He's like, hey,

304
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: every year we started zero.

305
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: I kind of agree with that.

306
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: I think you know it's I mean, every year is

307
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: a new year. You got to deal with all the

308
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: things that come with a year in the NFL, injuries

309
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 3: and great play and poor play, and great calls and

310
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: not so great calls, and got to find a way

311
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: to get through it and then position yourself.

312
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: That's what makes this year. This year will be hard

313
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: to put to rest for.

314
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: The Broncos organization because you won so many games by

315
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: hanging in there, making plays down the stretch. You get

316
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: home field advantage, you win, you beat the Bills, You

317
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: got to find a way to beat the Patriots, and

318
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: I know your quarterback was injured and that was a big,

319
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: big deal, but still that game was right there yesterday

320
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: to win.

321
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: Will we go back and look at this year from now? Okay,

322
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: and maybe some people are still talking about the fourth

323
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: and one, I'm not sure. I sort of doubt that.

324
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: Are you going to think about the weather. You're going

325
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: to think about Jared Sidham, especially in the second half

326
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: when the weather got in there. Are you going to

327
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: say Bonix wins that game? Like those are going to

328
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: be the things that you say five years from now,

329
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: we're thinking about the opportunity. You lost ten to seven

330
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: at home, what do you think you'll be resting on.

331
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: I would challenge your your assertion that people will dismiss

332
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: the fourth.

333
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: And one call.

334
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I think the fourth on one call will live

335
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: forever in the minds of Broncos fans. Right, not not

336
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: to say that they don't they don't think Sean's a

337
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 3: good coach, not to say that you're not pulling for

338
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 3: the Broncos, but that that was a pivotal part of

339
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 3: the game that I don't think will ever go away.

340
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: I do think that people will say, yeah, well Bo,

341
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: had Bowl played, the Broncos would have won. I think

342
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: had Bo played, their chances would have been better, simply

343
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 3: because as an athlete, he's going to be able to

344
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 3: escape some of the some of the issues that maybe

345
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 3: jaredt could not have. And so yeah, I mean I

346
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 3: think it both played. I think you could make the

347
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: case and I would stand by that that the Broncos

348
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: would be able to win. And I say that not

349
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: pointing the finger directly at Jared Stidham as the reason

350
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: the Broncos loss.

351
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 2: I don't see this comes out to me as a

352
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: butt game.

353
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 4: Uh.

354
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 5: The defense play well.

355
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 2: The again, what's going on?

356
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 6: Man?

357
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: But dut oh oh, okay, come on hanging that Ryan,

358
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: get your mind out of the gut.

359
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: I said, I just want to make sure we moved

360
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: on from that.

361
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: This is going to be a butt game.

362
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 4: The defense played well, but this happened, right, there were

363
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 4: issues with the snow But Will LUNs, mister field goal,

364
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 4: that's the type of butt game. And now it's you're

365
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: making excuses.

366
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 5: Right the game turned out the way that he did.

367
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 5: Did certain things happen in that game?

368
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 4: Yes, we would have won the game if bow Knicks

369
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: would have played, but he didn't, right, So no, you

370
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 4: can only deal with the cars that you're dealt. The

371
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: Broncos had ample opportunity to win that game because the Patriots.

372
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 5: Couldn't really move the ball. You scored seven points.

373
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: And that that that first those first couple of drives

374
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 4: were outstanding.

375
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 5: So you look at the.

376
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: First the first four drives of the Broncos, I think

377
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 4: they completed. They were forty percent on third down. They

378
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 4: had maybe one hundred and twenty five yards. After that,

379
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 4: on the next eight drives it went downhill, they were

380
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 4: twenty percent on third down.

381
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: Why do you think that is because I'm.

382
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: Gonna say play calling and execution, I'm gonna tie both

383
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: of those together. Because you may work on something and

384
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: they know this and practice you see it, it looks great, right,

385
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 4: you say.

386
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: Well we get this.

387
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: The right defense is gonna work against it.

388
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: But now it's are the.

389
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: Guys on the field actually executed If the play that

390
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 4: you just broke down about the little kind of tunnel

391
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: screen to you know, Marvin Mamms, that.

392
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 5: Was a home run play and I think the Broncos.

393
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 4: Ended up scoring on that play anyway, to Marvin and Mamms.

394
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 5: But execution, that's a problem.

395
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: And then when something is not working, can you and

396
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: I think they say this is a word that you love.

397
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 4: Can you pivot? Can you pivot and go to something else?

398
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 4: Because all I heard after the Chargers game it was like,

399
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 4: well the team played a vanilla offense because there were

400
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 4: more things that they were going to run later on

401
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 4: and I'm like, okay, well sign me up for it.

402
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 4: And the ideas like once we got to this point,

403
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 4: we were going to see all those creative things. I

404
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 4: know bo Nicks wasn't in there, but you still have

405
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 4: Jeffstin who's been in his office for three years, and

406
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 4: what we were told that, Hey, listen, he is a

407
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 4: competent quarterback. Not worried about him, worried about everyone else.

408
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 4: So let's go out there and see some of those

409
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 4: creative plays to give him an.

410
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: Opportunity to execute.

411
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 4: Because those first couple of drives, man, the stadium was rocking.

412
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 4: You could see the level of confidence building and starting

413
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 4: to swell, and the jeffs cinem would be like, you

414
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 4: know what, I got this. But then all of a

415
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 4: sudden things changed because you look at the remaining three quarters,

416
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 4: no points at all.

417
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, daniell Lowski tweet this South this morning. Dave Denver

418
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: gained fifty six yards across his last eight drives.

419
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: They didn't have a score in their last ten drives.

420
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: It's an interesting moment, right, the fourth and one to

421
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: your point, And you're right. People texted in and said,

422
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: that's all people are talking about in my work. You

423
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: turn on the radio, you turn on TV, they're still

424
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: talking about the fourth and one. You're right, maybe that

425
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: is going to be the lasting memory for a lot

426
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: of Broncos fans. The one thing that I keep thinking

427
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: about in terms of the point in the game. So

428
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: nine eight left in the second quarter, right, so relatively

429
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: still early, I guess by standards, However, you want to

430
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: look at it. If you had have known at that

431
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: point you're Sean Payton and you're saying, this is our

432
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: last truly great opportunity to score here, do you think

433
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: that impacts the way he calls that play?

434
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: Well, of course, well let's think about what you just asked.

435
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: But does it impact it to be more to be aggressive,

436
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: to stay aggressive?

437
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 3: Or the question me was if you if Sean would

438
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 3: have known that this will be the last great opportunity

439
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: to score, does it impact the call? Well, hell, yes,

440
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: I mean you're going to go for it then? But

441
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 3: what what would have what would have given him the

442
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 3: impression based on what he had seen in the first

443
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: quarter in a little bit, that that was going to

444
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: be the last great opportunity to score very good point,

445
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

446
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: So yes to your to your question, it's like, yes,

447
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: it does.

448
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 3: Yes, if I knew, If I knew that was it,

449
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: then hell I'm going forward and fourth and one too.

450
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: If you said, you know what, the last ten drives,

451
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 3: you're gonna have zero points? Okay, then you know what,

452
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: let's go forward here in fourth and one. Well, sure, absolutely,

453
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: but life doesn't work that way.

454
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 4: It's about Yeah, it's about living and being in the

455
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: moment and making the right decision and hoping that whatever

456
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 4: you do it is not something that jeopardized the overall

457
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 4: goal of the team and you lose a game.

458
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: Well, in the moment, he felt like the momentum was

459
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: all on their side.

460
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 4: Okay, but then you you you go with what you

461
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 4: thought was going to work at that time.

462
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 5: You go, you go with it. But for me and

463
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 5: I think this is.

464
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: The reason why everyone is around the water cooler discussing this,

465
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 4: because that in the back of everyone's mind kind of

466
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 4: tilted the game in a way.

467
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: Because someone asked me.

468
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 5: Well, do you think coach Peyton knew about the weather?

469
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like all that question a lot last night.

470
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 5: Damn the weather.

471
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: For sure, she did.

472
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 5: What's in front of you right now, what's in front

473
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 5: of you right now.

474
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 4: You make the decisions right in front of you, right now,

475
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 4: and you hope to God that you made the right ones.

476
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 3: But to the point of the weather, absolutely, I'm I'm

477
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: not sure of anything I witnessed yesterday, but I would

478
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 3: say I'm ninety nine point nine percent certain.

479
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 2: Sean Payton is one of the most prepared coaches I've

480
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: ever been around. He and Mike Shanahan.

481
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: Sean talks about the weather on Sunday when I talked

482
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 3: to him on Friday, in terms of especially the weather,

483
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: in terms of what kind of cleats were going to wear,

484
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: what are the wind conditions going to be Guaranteed he

485
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: had the information that there was now maybe he didn't

486
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 3: know how bad it was going to be, but there

487
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: the snow was going to get here about noon. Let's

488
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: just say that the Let's just say that the weather

489
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: doesn't come in. Based on what I think, this is

490
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 3: a fair question, based on what you saw from your

491
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 3: defense in the first twenty minutes or twenty one minutes

492
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 3: of play. If you say, based on that you have

493
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 3: a chance to have a ten point lead, I'm not

494
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: sure based on what I saw the first twenty one

495
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 3: ounce of the game that I would have concluded that

496
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: the Patriots would ever score a point. Your defense, they

497
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 3: can't really run it, he can't throw it, they can't

498
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: handle the pressure. I think I would have bet more

499
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: on the fact I'll bet the defense will get a

500
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: turnover or two. Then I would have bet that the

501
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 3: Patriots would or more than ten. Now you can agree

502
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: or disagree. If you agree, then you kick the field

503
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 3: goal and you go up by ten. And that's what

504
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 3: I would have done. It's not second guessing. I thought

505
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 3: it just then. Doesn't mean anything other than that's what

506
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: went through my mind. And again I always say, I'm

507
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: a high school coach. He's making nineteen million dollars coach

508
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 3: in the Broncos. He's made plenty of good calls this year.

509
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 3: He doesn't need me to sit there and say, huh,

510
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: why'd you do that.

511
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: I thought that at the.

512
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 3: Time, just based on me calling the game and watching

513
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 3: the game. The Denver defense is dominating this game, and

514
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 3: I'm not sure this young cat on the other side,

515
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: as good a year as he's had, I'm not sure

516
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: he's going to be able to deal with the ferocity

517
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: of this defense. So I'm taking ten and saying, let

518
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: me show show me what you can do.

519
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 4: How many times this season we've seen the Broncos in

520
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 4: this situation and we all sat around like okay with

521
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 4: the Broncos and kind of setting them up. He comes

522
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 4: that night Shamulain moment where the Broncos in the fourth quarter. Oh,

523
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 4: they're going to turn it off. Something's going to happen,

524
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 4: and then boom, there it is another fourth quarter victory.

525
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 2: But it didn't happen.

526
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 4: Right, And I'll go back to what I've said all

527
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 4: season long, and I'll say true to this once again.

528
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: What Dave just described is what we thought coming into

529
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 4: the last four games of the season, saying the Broncos are.

530
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 5: Playing with house money.

531
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 4: Why, whether it was Jeristinam or whether it was Bo

532
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 4: Nick's under center, it was because band shows have been

533
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 4: the defense. How well that they performed, and I knew

534
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 4: personally that the week before five turnoffs against Buffalo, the

535
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: likelihood of that happening having a repeat.

536
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 5: Performance like that was going to.

537
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: Be slimming or none.

538
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 4: And you could see the Broncos players tugging and pulling

539
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: and trying to punch the ball out.

540
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 5: But you have to figure that. Yeah, Drake May was told, Hey, in.

541
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 4: That Houston game, dude, you put the ball on the

542
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 4: ground a lot. So what we're gonna do is we're

543
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 4: gonna run to fick the ball. And that set up

544
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 4: that very last play. Even though they were not they

545
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 4: being the Patriots, they didn't run off get a run

546
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 4: more than thirty yards.

547
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: The only one was Drake May when he scrambled.

548
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 4: So they were setting it up, and how great was

549
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 4: it for Josh mcdames in that moment where they needed

550
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: a first down and the Broncos defense.

551
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 5: Were all clawged in.

552
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: They're expecting an inside run like they've seen all day.

553
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: There's a blue leg outside and Drake May gets the

554
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 4: first down.

555
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 2: The reportedly he called his own shot.

556
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, Reportedly he set after the game to

557
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: one of the reporters, No way, that wasn't the call.

558
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: That he just kept the ball.

559
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: If if that is true, in fact true, second year

560
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: quarterback in the game of that magnitude where you get

561
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 4: the first down, you win, you lose.

562
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 5: The Broncos get the ball and they kick the field goal.

563
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 4: Tie this thing up. We go into overtime. He calls

564
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 4: his own shot.

565
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: That's third down, their third down, third and seven, So

566
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: if he doesn't get it, they punt, but the Broncos

567
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: have to go eighty.

568
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: But that sid was a big play for If what

569
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 4: Ryan is saying a shrew to call your own play

570
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: and to get out on that boot leg, hell, that's

571
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 4: bloody brilliant by him.

572
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: You think yes, I think, okay.

573
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 5: Yes, you don't think so beat it as his waistin.

574
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 3: He's got good legs. I mean, what's the worst thing

575
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 3: that can happen. I don't think he called it. I

576
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 3: just don't think he just didn't give the ball up.

577
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: And you could always come to the sideline and say,

578
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: you know what. I didn't feel like I had complete

579
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 3: control of the ball. I didn't want to give it

580
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: to Remandre. No, I don't think it was that big

581
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 3: a deal. Well, I'll tell you what.

582
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 4: If it's what Ryan said, there's no way that I

583
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: can prove that.

584
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: Your little English had to squeeze in your head.

585
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 4: No, not even if that means I have to call

586
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 4: someone in New England and ask that question. If the

587
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 4: young guy called that play in that moment, right to me,

588
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 4: I get you.

589
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 6: Got to give him credit for that, give him credit

590
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 6: for Jack. I'm gonna give him credit for it. No,

591
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 6: were it was the driver and driving, miss Daisy. Did

592
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 6: he wear a hat like that? Morgan Freeman? No, Morgan

593
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 6: Freeman wasn't the driver? Was he was he the driver?

594
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 6: Did Morgan Freeman wear a hat like that?

595
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 5: You sure it did?

596
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: I like your hat.

597
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 5: I feel as though there's some more, some more you

598
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 5: want to.

599
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: Say, No, that was a period, Okay, I'm just I'm

600
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 3: just trying to am I am I driving a day

601
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: with this. They what that that outfits that I like

602
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: the outfit? Yes, right, yes, thank you.

603
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: You're welcome.

604
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: You did hear one analysts talking about that specific play saying,

605
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: now he he and Josh McDaniels might have understood that

606
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: that was what they were going to do, but they

607
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: called it different plays and it was going to be

608
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: a handoff Charle mindre going to the right and because

609
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: what you want is you want the offensive line, you

610
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: want everybody blocking down and moving rights. Yes, and so

611
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: then that that tells the defense this is where we're going,

612
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: of course, which opens things up, of course.

613
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: So I think that was Chris Sims that broke it down.

614
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: I think it was an easy I mean, God almighty,

615
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 3: you know, I think that was that. I mean, Chris,

616
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we're breaking down a quarterback scamper on third down.

617
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 4: Well, that's not undermined the play because that was the

618
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 4: hell of a play ball.

619
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: It wasn't that big a play. It wasn't that big

620
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: a play.

621
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: If he doesn't get hey, if you just said they're

622
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: going forward on fourth and two, and then he does that.

623
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 3: I tipped my hat, even though I ate like yours,

624
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 3: I tipped my hat, and I say that was a big,

625
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: big play. It's third down and whatever six So if

626
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: he doesn't get it. If he doesn't get it, they

627
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 3: line up and pump the ball. How much time in

628
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: the game and the Broncos, I believe her out of timeouts?

629
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: How much time in the game when Drake May pulled

630
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: this unbelievable play to keep the ball.

631
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: And run around the end? Fifty seven seven the clock's running.

632
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: Let's just say that Jonah Ellis stays home and keeps

633
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 3: him in the pocket. You said if you started off

634
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: with it, Well, I'm saying if he'd I'm trying to

635
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 3: illustrate to you why it's not a big deal if

636
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: he doesn't make it, meaning Jonah Ellis stayed home and

637
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: tackled it. The Broncos are out of timeouts. The clock

638
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: then is set for fourth down. It runs down to

639
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: a little more than a minute. They take time out.

640
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: In New England, they punk.

641
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: The ball down. Where was where was the line of scrimmage?

642
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: Like the forty.

643
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 3: They were at the New England forty New England forty yep. Okay,

644
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 3: so they punped the ball down. Let's say to the

645
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: Denver Let's say it's not even a great punt. Let's

646
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: say to the Denver twenty five to thirty with fifty

647
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 3: seconds to go, no timeouts. I mean, Denver had shown

648
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: zero ability in the second half. They had one first

649
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: down in the second half. Would you bet that hat

650
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 3: you're wearing that the Broncos on that last drive from

651
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: the thirty would be able to get it down. Let's

652
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: had already missed a forty five yard The conditions were awful,

653
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: So I say you got to get it probably to

654
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 3: the twenty.

655
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: What makes the thirty seven yarder?

656
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: Would you bet that hat that the Broncos from their

657
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: own thirty, with fifty five seconds to go and no

658
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: timeouts could move to the Patriot twenty?

659
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: Yes? I would you a damn liar.

660
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 5: You are lying through your stoy.

661
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: Okay, your eyeballs are seeping out lines. Explain you asked

662
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: me a question. I don't know you, but I know

663
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: when you're like you do not believe that in your

664
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: heart of hearts.

665
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 4: You asked me what I bet this hat? Well, then

666
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: you don't like the hat because I got another one.

667
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: See, that's what I'm saying.

668
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 3: You know, dam good, Well that wasn't going to happen,

669
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: So I mean, cut New England.

670
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: I'm all for saying.

671
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 3: I'm not for you know, hey, that was a good

672
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: play for that, but I ain't gonna I ain't gonna.

673
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: Erect a statue for him. That's not what we're saying.

674
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know about Ryan. I don't speak for him,

675
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: but I'm just saying that was a quality play at that.

676
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: You say it's a quality play, then I'll say, Okay,

677
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: I agree, it's a quality play.

678
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 4: And I said, if it's it's an even better play.

679
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 4: If what Ryan said is true. What the young fella said,

680
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: well he knowed something, so.

681
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 5: He called his own shot, makes it even better.

682
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what I'm saying. All right, Yes, okay, it

683
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: makes it better.

684
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Listen, in all fairness, if the Broncos

685
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: get the ball back in the thirty unless Bonick suddenly.

686
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: Had a they had one.

687
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: Hello, hello, they had one first down in the entire

688
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 3: second half.

689
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 5: You can wish, Dave, you can wish and hope.

690
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,080

691
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: wish and hope, wishing and hoping and praying, And I

692
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,760

00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 4: who is that. That's a that's an old as it

694
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 4: seemed like it's from the seventies or something. Yes, maybe

695
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 4: maybe an earlier the two Clerk.

696
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,440

697
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: Yes, Dusty Springfield. That's a good pull.

698
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: Now, that's a better pull than anointing Drake May for

699
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 3: the great play he made on third and sevens, Dusty Springfield, even.

700
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: For your midic. A lot of shots from guys that

701
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 2: look like you, but I can still remember. But Ryan

702
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: had to help you out though. But Brian didn't do anything.

703
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: He did he told you today, he said, Dusty Springfield, No,

704
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: you didn't. You need to check your ears because that

705
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: had done squeezed stuff through him.

706
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: You can't hear Jack
