1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna have Jails Skinner joining us on Thursdays, our 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: spotlight guest passer Tan on Friday. As we get you 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: said for the Green Bay Packers, a lot more breakdowns 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: starting tomorrow when the Broncos get back to practice. Now, 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: you and I on Sunday kind of found her way 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: into a weird conversation about Justin Jefferson. 7 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: So before we get into a little bit of a 8 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: breakdown on what we saw from the Broncos offense versus 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: the Raiders, you said that there's a scenario in your 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: mind that Justin Jefferson could be available this offseason. Yeah, 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 2: and that's with him pushing his way out. Now, obviously 12 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: he's got you know, he's got a contract up there, 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: but that would be under him working his way out 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 2: of Minnesota there simply because of the quarterback situation, and 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 2: he can do that. If they trade him post June one, 16 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: it'll still cost him a little bit, but they'll save 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: about twenty five million on the cap. So the scenario 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: there is it's got to be up a deal that's 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: agreed to but then executed post June one. So the 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 2: draft picks would be for the twenty twenty seven draft, 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: you would have to trade. You'd probably be sending Courtland 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: Sutton and draft picks for Jefferson in that scenario, but 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: it would require him pushing his way out. The Vikings 24 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: aren't going to voluntarily move him. It would have to 25 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: be him forced his way out, which makes a lot 26 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: of sense. 27 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: Now. 28 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: They had a big win over Washington this last week 29 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: and JJ McCarthy looked really good, and of course things 30 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: can change, right, I mean, Justin Jefferson's been extremely frustrated, 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: like visually frustrated. He's been telling everybody he's frustrated, and understandably, 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: the quarterback play has been terrible. That they've been a 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: bad team. They're going to miss the playoffs this year. 34 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: That's not what you expect when you signed that contract there. 35 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: And of course last year they were a fourteen win team, 36 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: stumbled in the postseason with Sam Darnold, but you still thought, hey, 37 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: we have the coaching staff and we have all the 38 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: talents around us, but we should be able to be 39 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: right back in the mix. And this year was a disappointment. 40 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: So if you're Justin Jefferson, you sort of have to decide, 41 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: am I willing to ride this thing out? And of course, 42 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: I guess it depends a little bit of how they finish, right, 43 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if JJ McCarthy goes on a tear, well 44 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: then justin Jefferson's gonna be like, all right, that's some 45 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: mumpy stars. 46 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: It's gonna be fine. 47 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: But if you have another couple of games down the 48 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: stretch here, the problem from Minnesota is I don't know 49 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: what else they're gonna do, Like you could bring in 50 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: a veteran to compete I guess with JJ McCarthy, But 51 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of money here because you've 52 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: tied up your resources, like all your resources are are 53 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: sort of spoken for in the midst of this because 54 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: you thought you were in your window right now, even 55 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: with this rookie. And part of that is an investment 56 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: in your head coach, because Kayos has been that guy 57 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: that Kevin O'Connell has been, the quarterback whisper. If you 58 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: will no offense to Tim Jenkins, right, it is just 59 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: to say, like that's what. It doesn't matter who you 60 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: put in front of him. He makes him play well. 61 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 2: Yeah. The Vikings are projected to be somewhere between thirty 62 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 2: six and forty one million in the red in terms 63 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: of cap space last year, and so bringing in a 64 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: veteran is just not real is not an option, you know, 65 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: and unless you you could find a way to get 66 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: them on a cheap deal and then you know, balloon 67 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: payment later. I mean, what do you do? Bring Russ 68 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 2: in and throw I mean, you know, bring bring Jamis 69 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: over on the Russ deal, you know. But I was 70 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: thinking more like a mac Jones kind of guy, you know, 71 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 2: I mean maybe, but does that? Does that really? I mean, 72 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: well it doesn't. I'm just saying, like, you give options, 73 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: so you give it up on JJ McCarthy for that. 74 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: Probably not, you know, but you're hoping for like a 75 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, like somebody that's coming in on a relatively 76 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: cheap deal. 77 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: Well, Jones is gonna get paid. But I mean, you know, 78 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: I'm saying what they did before with Jones, yeah or 79 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: darnold you know. And it's fine if that's what you think. 80 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: But the reality is your your market is extremely dry. Actually, 81 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is going to get is going to get 82 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: over traded for more. It's gonna get because there's gonna 83 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: be teams bidden it up. You gonna have the Jets, 84 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: the Raiders, you know, teams like that bidden it up. Uh, 85 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: and so Kyler Murray is gonna wind up probably netting 86 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: Arizona pair of seconds, maybe more than that in draft compensations, 87 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: simply because there's going to be more than one team 88 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: after his services and there just isn't a market for 89 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: other quarterbacks outside of you already mentioned Mac. That's pretty 90 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: much it. Yeah, no, I mean it's going to be 91 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: you're gonna bring the ghost of Kirk Cousins in. 92 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're mining for for talent at that point, 93 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: and you know, maybe for the Vikings. The idea of 94 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins coming back does sound kind of appealing. Farewell tour, 95 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: he looks he looks awful right now. With Atlanta, it 96 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: looks awful. Yeah, it looks terrible. I mean no, but 97 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: Atlanta looks terrible. It gets you know, it is what 98 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: it is. 99 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: It's just it's it's it's one of those things where 100 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: the idea of this is more realistic than people think. 101 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: It's not. I don't want to get out over my skis. 102 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: And so the people are like Ben is reporting this 103 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: because you know, they gotta be real careful with this stuff. 104 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 2: But I would say the idea of this occurring is 105 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: more realistic than people are giving credit for. 106 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: But I'm not reporting that that's what's happening. But it's 107 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: more of like one logical conclusion can lead to the other. 108 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: A lot of it is very it's very much a 109 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: thing that the Insiders group chat is very much eyeballing 110 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: this situation going into the off seats. 111 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: And then it becomes if you're the Broncos, when you're 112 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: trying to surround your young quarterback because this is when 113 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson contracts off the books next year, like this 114 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: is that shot where you can I would say, go 115 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: all in, but you can push them chips into the 116 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: middle here on surrounding your young quarterback with some talent. 117 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: And I don't know many teams that wouldn't want to 118 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: put make a serious play for Justin Jefferson. 119 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, and that would be I mean, the 120 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: problem is is that not everybody has the infrastructure of 121 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: the cap space. The Broncos could pull it off. You'd 122 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: have to, You'd have you would have to move Courtland 123 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: to draft picks to do it, but you could. You 124 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: could pull it off. It's just you know, it's it's 125 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: one of those things that in talent gets announced. A 126 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: lot of this is just hypotheticals and you know and 127 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But uh, by the way, 128 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 2: Rust did really well in the studio for CBA. Did 129 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: you see that. 130 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of it. He did really well 131 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: in the studio there for CBS. He's probably got a 132 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: future doing that. I sort of felt for him because 133 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: they were like making a breakdown Broncos stuff. 134 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was like, this is just a troll 135 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: at this point. But but you know, to his part, 136 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: he like he played it straight. He played it straight. 137 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: He did it. You know, I I whatever else you 138 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: think of Russell Wilson point he deep. It looks like 139 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: he's got a future at the at the desk there 140 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: at CBS. Broncos Country. Let's rob Roncos Country. Let's right, 141 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 2: Broncos Country. 142 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: Let's right. 143 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: It's so funny about that clip too, is you know 144 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: what he here every time? 145 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: It's so bad, but you know what he's doing because 146 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: it's like it's like any of us behind the scenes 147 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: trying to take multiple takes to read. Yeah, you're like, 148 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you several versions of this, but it 149 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: just so happened that they just kept rolling and then 150 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: and then that got out. Yeah where it's just very cringey, 151 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: like saying it over and over and over again, but 152 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: you know what he's trying to do. 153 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: He's trying to again, Yeah, here, here, Ben, I need 154 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 2: you to read this promo and you know, now, I'll read 155 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: it three different ways, you know, see which way they 156 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: want it, and then yeah, yeah, yeah, I know exactly 157 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: what's going on there. But it's just like ah, but 158 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 2: after the fact, you're like, oh, this is bad, embarrassing. 159 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: You know, I try. I tried like he was our guy, 160 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: so there was a defending him, feeling like you felt 161 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 2: like you had to. But I'll acknowledge that that stuff 162 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: was so tough at the high knees, like he was 163 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: never a problems, a dude just trying to get himself healthy. 164 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: The cliches, though, like the let's ride after the Games, 165 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: I'm saying it's part and parcel of all of It's 166 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: likely if it was just the high knees, then that 167 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: would be whatever I'm saying. It was the highknees tied 168 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: to everything else. Then it became like no, I think 169 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: people viewed that through their lens and I'm like I didn't. 170 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: I never had an issue with the highknees thing, but 171 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: I was like that. But there was tons of stuff 172 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: in there, the Danger Witch and the mister Unlimited and 173 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: unlimited stuff. You gotta be unlimited. That was just ridiculous. 174 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: Like that was just awful. I don't think any team's 175 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: gonna sign him at this point. 176 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: Russ. 177 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll see. I mean, it's been bad 178 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: in New York this year, so maybe not, but Pittsburgh 179 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: decent year in Pittsburgh last. 180 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: Year until he didn't the very end of the season. 181 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Pat Fryman dropping balls is not his fault, 182 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: but it wasn't even just that one game. Been down 183 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: the stretch you need to go. I mean, you could 184 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: box score scout if you want to, but I'm telling you, 185 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: like his his numbers and his performance tailed off, and 186 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: there were people in Pittsburgh that were like, oh my god, 187 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: we can't win. 188 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: With this guy. I'm just telling you, But you listen, 189 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: don't take my word for it. Google is right for you. 190 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: Let's see who Justin Fields gets another shot from God. 191 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: You actively rooting against that guy is still very weird 192 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: to me. I'm not actually rooting against him. I'm it's 193 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: more like throwing salt in certain people around here's faces 194 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: after they told me I was an idiot for Sansor 195 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: Tan was the right draft pick. I mean, it was 196 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: like two three years of people coming after me for 197 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: no reason. 198 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: Pats Or Tan was the right draft pick. You get 199 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: in there and make this about you, Ben, it was 200 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: about me. We run the PSA on this show, like, 201 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: your opinions do not represent that of iHeart or do 202 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: we run that? I don't run that on my show 203 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: every day, every single day. It's running underneath like on 204 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: the street. So any of the stream listeners as we're 205 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: pumping back from Brake, it says the opinions of Benjamin 206 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: Albright do not represent that. 207 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that iHeart was gonna have to change 208 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: the slogan, you know, because they've got that guaranteed human 209 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 2: and for any time I'm on there, it's just guaranteed horrible. Yeah. 210 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: The textures agree, by the way, It's been fun watching 211 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: the textures immediately roast you. You know, if you listen 212 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: to the textures, you're gonna be sitting there with them. 213 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: Is that a real say you're so proud of yourself 214 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: with that Shelby Harris is going to join us in 215 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: about ten minutes. We have not caught up with him 216 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: yet on his Juwan Jennings rant, so we will get 217 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: to that. And I also got to ask him about 218 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: the two point conversion this last week. 219 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: I'm sure he has some opinions. Interesting to see if 220 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: he has an opinion on that. You know, it's his 221 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 2: coach made the call, and at the defense, you just like, 222 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 2: I don't know what to say. 223 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: You decided to take your door standers off the field 224 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: after that game, that game that he was having. You're like, 225 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't need him to come in 226 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: here and win. John Jenkins in the Wildcat. Here's what 227 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: we need to do. 228 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna see that coming. CU's been wildly in effective 229 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: all game outside of one play. What we need to 230 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: do is put him at quarterback and then have him 231 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: pitch the ball. But then, uh, maybe don't pitch the ball. 232 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 2: Don't pitch the ball. Oh wait, no, you're supposed to 233 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 2: pitch the ball. Oh no, yeah, we lost. This is 234 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: what I get. You know, I'm always normally I'm griping 235 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: about Sean on all these trick plays. You know, Hey, 236 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: let's take all these all guys on our team and 237 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: put them in positions that they're not really good at 238 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 2: and that's gonna work. Didn't really do that against the Raiders, didn't. 239 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: I know, so happy. I was so proud. It was 240 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: very interesting listening to our our guy Tim Jenkins, and 241 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: maybe we'll get to it with Rod. 242 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: Because he said it felt like a preseason game. Like 243 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: the boy the Broncos operated. He said it was kind 244 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: of a vanilla offensive look. He's like, it was just 245 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: sort of will beat you with our base stuff. 246 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: And last night Grant said it was like the most 247 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: boring in the best way possible type game and that 248 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 2: was like, yeah, that's that's basically Yeah. He said he 249 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 2: felt like he was watching a preseason game. Chef's kiss. Honestly, 250 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 2: it's what you needed out of that game. Yeah, I 251 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: don't feel like there's this. This is a tough last week. 252 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: The Broncos could go anywhere from four to oh to 253 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: one to three. I think they're go to lose at 254 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: Kansas City game at Arrowhead, I really do. It's a 255 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: short week after playing the Jags and Packers back to 256 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: back on Christmas. I think you're probably losing that one, 257 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: but the the other game and the and the Chiefs 258 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: would love just stick it to the Broncos on their 259 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 2: way to a division title like that. But those other 260 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: games you can't call it like they could go either way. 261 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: It me be a lot of fun this stretch. This 262 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: is this is what separates men from the boys. 263 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 4: He's a hoe and I want that known. Like, I 264 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 4: see why he got punched in the nuts, because that's 265 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 4: some like he says some things that you should not 266 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 4: say to another man ever, but like I don't respect 267 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 4: it because you say that I didn't run behind. 268 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: Your old line. 269 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 4: That's some real soft show and I want that, know, 270 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 4: I see exactly why they punched the nuts.

You know, We've still 340 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: got to execute and do what we need to do. 341 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: And so that's not on the fancy. That's on the players. 342 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 3: That's all. 343 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 5: That's on all of us. 344 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: So I don't like hearing everyone like, of course the 345 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 3: fancy is going to take the blame. That's what type 346 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 3: of man is. He's not going to throw anybody under 347 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: the bus. And that's why I repect about him. That's 348 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 3: what I love about Kevin, you know, but you. 349 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 5: Know that that was the that's the execution issue where 350 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 5: you know. 351 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 3: It's it's you never know, you know, I didn't see 352 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 3: the play. 353 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 5: But if someone's open on that, like it, you know. 354 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: If we if we the players executed and you never 355 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 3: know what can happen. 356 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 5: So and that's not on the fancy, that's one that's 357 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 5: the players. 358 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: No, I mean I understand that, and I kind of 359 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: thought that would ultimately be your response. But man, your 360 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: quarterback Shure Standers, what a performance. 361 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: I mean that that really was really fun to watch. 362 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 3: I know that. 363 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: You know, as a defensive player, you'd like to be 364 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: not so much in a shootout in that case, just 365 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: to be able to enjoy your offense going out there 366 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: and putting up the yards and the points that they were. 367 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: But how how was that seat watching Shodor Sanders and 368 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: that offense do what they did? 369 00:15:59,440 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. 370 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 3: It was so fun because we haven't seen them do 371 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 3: that and you know all really all season, like have 372 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 3: the explosiveness and and real they moved the ball and 373 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 3: like that. That was cool to see. We just didn't 374 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 3: hold up arly on defense to because we hoed like 375 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: were just it was the headcoord the season high on us. 376 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 5: So I guess with Roseby is the number one ring 377 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 5: defense and all this. 378 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: Time and we just didn't live up to our end 379 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: of the bargain. And so the Oftens did everything they 380 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 3: were supposed to do. They went out there and they 381 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: moved the ball, and obviously we didn't run the ball 382 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: the way we wanted to do, and. 383 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 5: I'm sure i'd got a dressed next game. 384 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: But Shador went out there and made a lot of 385 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 3: good throws and avoiding a lot of press like avoiding pressure. 386 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 3: And really, you know, we had injuries to ours, to 387 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: our starting center towards Achilles, and so you know, we 388 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 3: had people shuffling in the introd handle that in and 389 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 3: having a new center, having a new center in the 390 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: game with snaps and all that stuff. So it was 391 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 3: adversity in that game, and you wouldn't even know because 392 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 3: the door handle it so well. So we'll see obviously 393 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 3: about the future going forward. We got four games up, 394 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 3: but you have to be excited about what you've seen 395 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 3: so far. 396 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt about it. And I thought it was 397 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 1: absolutely the right move. Not that Kevin Stefanski cares what 398 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: I think, but I think he did call it. You 399 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: ask permission, well, he sent me a text, but you know, 400 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: naming him the start of the rest of the season, 401 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: I think having confidence for Shuder, having confidence in the team, 402 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: knowing what that position looks like is a big deal. 403 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: I do want to follow up though. 404 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: You said something about the number one run defense, and 405 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. I mean, you guys as a defensive 406 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: unit have been playing really really good football this year. 407 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: But I wonder it goes into a day like that, 408 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: is that the team scouted you guys in a certain way, 409 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 2: as in, hey, the Tennessee Titans just had our number. 410 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: They found some kind of hole in what we were doing. 411 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: What goes into a day like that where all of 412 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: a sudden Tony Pollard is having all these explosive runs 413 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: against you. 414 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 3: You have to give them the credit, you know, you 415 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 3: have to always as a competitor, you have to give 416 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: them the credit. And you know, Tony Pollard went out 417 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 3: there and they played with old plays. On top of that, 418 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: we shot ourselves in the fleet and there's just a 419 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 3: certain things we can't do and run defense that that 420 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 3: we just we did like we you know, we have 421 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 3: to be gaps down and that and that when you're 422 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 3: playing it back like twenty Pilar that is skilled and. 423 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 5: And can jump to they can and can't. 424 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: Make moves and and pretty much if you see the opening, 425 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 3: you can hit it and go, uh, you know, you 426 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 3: have to have gaps down, have got responsibility from the 427 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 3: whole team, and a couple of times it was just 428 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 3: it can always be one random guy here or there. 429 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 3: But get run defense is eleven guys doing their job 430 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 3: and you know, too many times to be ten and 431 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 3: it just wasn't It wasn't enough. And but like once again, 432 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: like I always, you have to give them their credit. 433 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 3: They went out there and executed the hell out of 434 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 3: this out of their teams, So you know that that 435 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 3: that's part. That's a lot of what it was too, 436 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 3: is they executed. 437 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 2: Now you guys got the game in Chicago, gets the 438 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: Bears coming up. Is there anything to kind of knock 439 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 2: it off these top teams late in the season as 440 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: you guys head down the street. 441 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: You know what I love. I love going out there 442 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 3: and messing up the playoffs, right, you know the playoffs 443 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 3: because obviously back to our times in Denner obviously different 444 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 3: doing the way way different different now, but back to 445 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 3: my turn in Denver, there was times where we were 446 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 3: out of the playoffs week you know, thirteen, fourteen fifty, 447 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 3: you know, but we're fifteen ish, you know, we're fourteen 448 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 3: is so you. 449 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 5: Know, your your job is to go out there and 450 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 5: kind of try. 451 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 3: To mess things up for other teams. And so that's 452 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 3: that's the role that we're going to take and we're 453 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: going to be cause I always try to tell people this, 454 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 3: and I try to tell fans because you know, people 455 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 3: always talk about tanking and they get on this whole 456 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: tanking but like this tanking like you know talk, But 457 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 3: we're all professional athletes here. You know, we are fighting 458 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 3: for our spot in the league next year. Every single 459 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: person in the league, no matter what position you are, 460 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: if you're if you are the number one team. 461 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 5: In the NFL, or if you're the lasting and so every. 462 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: Game you're fighting for your life in the league for 463 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 3: the next year. So no, there's no tainting, there's no 464 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 3: giving up. And also, to be a pro athlete, you 465 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 3: have that pride. You have to have that pride. There's 466 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 3: no way I'm going to go into a game and 467 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 3: let the man in front of me beat me down 468 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 3: like the footballs of me versus you game. You have 469 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: to have that mindset in order to be successful. So 470 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: these next four games, you gotta go in there and 471 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,719 Speaker 3: you gotta dog every one of the opponents. You got 472 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 3: to go for it. In the next stop is Chicago, 473 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 3: and that's what's next, you know, And that's the idea 474 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 3: you have to do, is you're going to go spoil 475 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 3: everyone's day for the next four Sundays. 476 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: I love that Shelby Harris joining us, and I know 477 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: that we've talked about that quite a bit. And certainly 478 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: people get into this mindset, especially you know, if a 479 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: team is struggling, or if they've maybe been struggling for 480 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: a couple of years, they think, well, maybe there's a 481 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 1: bit of a culture thing there, or maybe there are 482 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: players they don't have the right kinds of players. But 483 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: you're right, from a professional to professional, you guys have 484 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: to have that mentality, you know. 485 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: For the Brown I do think that we've seen that 486 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 2: with the defense this year specifically. 487 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: I know that there's been just a lot of moving 488 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: parts on the offense, so we want to get into 489 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: that side of the ball. But for the defense, I 490 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: thought you guys have really showed up in a. 491 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 2: Lot of games this year. 492 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: You guse had a ten sack performance just a couple 493 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and that doesn't sound like a team 494 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: that is tanking. 495 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: No, not at all. 496 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: Because we play for each other and most teams in 497 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 3: NFL do this, but not every team, not every team 498 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 3: that's long. But I played for the brothers necessity, I 499 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 3: played for the guy. I played for everything in one 500 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: of the guys on that team, because that's what you know. 501 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 3: It's funny, from the first day of OTAs and to 502 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 3: the you know, to today, you're building those relationships for 503 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: those guys, that blood, sweat and tears mindset where you know, 504 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to war for those guys every day 505 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 3: and to the thick or thin it's low. It's kind 506 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 3: of like a marriage, Ryan, you know, the good times 507 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 3: in the bad time, I'm going to ride for them, 508 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 3: you know, to the end. And that's what you look 509 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 3: and that's what you're gonna get, all right. 510 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to help us here. And I 511 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: don't know if you I mean, I'm sure you remember 512 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: the game the Packers. The Broncos are playing the Packers 513 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: this week. You guys beat them all the way back 514 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: in week three, thirteen to ten. Is there anything from 515 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: a scouting perspective you can tell us about playing against 516 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: the Packers that might be helpful, Something that's. 517 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 3: Very familiar I would say with playing you know, the 518 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: whole NFC nor of this year. If you stop the run, 519 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 3: you make them one dimensional there they will struggle. You 520 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 3: have to stop the run. With the Packers, they are 521 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: you know, everyone talks about Jordan Love and the receivers. 522 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: They are a run first team. And so the first 523 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: emphasis for the. 524 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 5: Broncos or it's going to be you have to stop the. 525 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 3: Run to win the game. If you can hold them, like, 526 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 3: if you can make them to a one dimensional team where. 527 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 5: They're throwing the ball every time because they delay. 528 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 3: Can't get anything started on the run, it'd be a 529 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 3: good day for the Broncos. 530 00:22:59,320 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you did that. 531 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs only had thirty rushing yards on sixteen carries. 532 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, real quick, Jelly, Hey, do you care at all 533 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: about Notre Dame and not being in the College football Playoffs? 534 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 3: Uh? You know I would actually, I would say I'd 535 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 3: be more mad about BYU not being there because in 536 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: that same inst and I was just talking about this earlier, 537 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 3: I believe in the same conversation that we said that 538 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 3: we can't punish Alabama for losing in the SEC Championship, 539 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 3: you can't do the same thing to BYU. So it's 540 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 3: like it's always it. 541 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 5: Seems like we're always making every exception. 542 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 3: For Alabama, but then everyone else it's the short end 543 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 3: of the stick. 544 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: Did you agree with the committee's decision on what they 545 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: ultimately did or you think it's just too much SEC bias. 546 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 3: I think I think they did too much regarding everyone 547 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 3: loves them, you know, the underdog, everyone loves the little guy. 548 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 5: Well, I think you had to choose between two Lane. 549 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 3: And James Madison. I don't think you have both of 550 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 3: them in, and I think that's kind of what bumps 551 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 3: not there day out. But I think I definitely believe 552 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 3: that that's you know, you're trying to you're trying to 553 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 3: serve too many masters. I guess it's it's an old 554 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 3: term of you know, you're trying to make too many 555 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 3: people happy, and so I get it James Madison and 556 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 3: and Touraine, but I believe you only should have one 557 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,959 Speaker 3: of those guys in and then, you know, because obviously 558 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 3: we want to part of it, and they proved it 559 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 3: when Florida State after they lost their quarterbacks, they got 560 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 3: tools from the from the championship. Part of it is 561 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 3: we want to be entertained. You've shown that you've made 562 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 3: that precedent man tilted untilled now and so, and that's 563 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 3: why everyone doesn't believe. You know, every year when it 564 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 3: comes to this committee, when it comes to form the playoffs, 565 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 3: because every year the bar is changed, the bar is 566 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 3: always a different level every years. 567 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 5: It's never the same. It's not consistent. 568 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 2: I think that's perfectly said. You would you go to 569 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 2: sixteen teams? 570 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 3: No, because that and that's not the answer though, the 571 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 3: answers to have a consistent basis for how you choose 572 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 3: these just like, stop moving the bar to get these 573 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 3: sec tes in. Stop moving the bar to to Alabama 574 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 3: and when when they have three losses, Yeah, that that's 575 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 3: not just because you think, because you know, Alabama has 576 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: a lot of NFL talent, they don't deserve to go 577 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 3: year after year if they don't earn it during the season. 578 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 2: Always great, Shelby, good luck on I guess Chicago this. 579 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: We will talk talk to you next week. 580 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 5: I appreciate you. 581 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 2: Appreciate you too, man, Shelby Harris, he's a hole. 582 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 3: I want that known. 583 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: It's gonna follow him forever. You gotta autotune that and 584 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: put it to I got host. That'd be great. That's 585 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 2: really good.

Then like somebody's got to take 589 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: that and then turn it into a hit song, right 590 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: just yeah, it's there, or you know, an ad for 591 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: Wendy's whatever. 592 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: Nice Shelby is, Uh, Shelby is right, there's a little 593 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 2: bit of an sec kind of well I think I 594 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 2: think you know again, I keep talking about build or whatever, 595 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: but there are I mean, I went back and ran 596 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 2: the BCS formula. 597 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 3: Yeah you did. 598 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 2: I did. I had my AI go out there figure 599 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: out to be a BCS formula and rerun it. And 600 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 2: you know, the committee was more or less pretty much 601 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 2: bang on in terms of this stuff. Notre Dame was 602 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: shouldn't have been anywhere. Notre Dame was behind the other teams. 603 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: They were behind the Vandy and the UH and the 604 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: other teams in a week schedule. Dude, Yeah, that that's 605 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: really good. I don't think that, you know, And then 606 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 2: opting out of a bowl game is loser. Behave that's 607 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: such loser because cry baby behavior from Notre Dame. 608 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: It's funny watching some of the donors react to it, 609 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: and they were like, we were promised, we we were promised, 610 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: we're in, and then they're promising them that next year, 611 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: Well next year there's there's actual language and that which 612 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: is stupid, which is so dumb, absolutely stupid to me. 613 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, sanity, Yeah, but I mean there's you know, I mean, 614 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 2: Joeby's right by u Utah, uh Texas. Those teams have 615 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: better claims to I think, to Vanderbilt why they're not 616 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 2: in than than Notre Dame. I'm with you one hundred percent. 617 00:26:59,440 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 618 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 2: So I was back. 619 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: The Browns with Joe Flacco beat the Green Bay Packers 620 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: in Week three, thirteen to ten. And yeah, in that game, 621 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: now Jordan loves playing better football than he was at 622 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: that time. 623 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 2: But yeah, Josh Jacobs that they they held the. 624 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: Packers thirty one carries for eighty one total yards two 625 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: point six per carries. So the Brogu's defense can somehow 626 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: do that to the Packers, Oh that they win this game. 627 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: They also sacked Jordan Love five times in that game. 628 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: Either way, Gabriel played nine games, Flacco played four, Sanders 629 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 2: played four. You know who has the highest quarterback rating 630 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 2: in those three? Who should do you know it has 631 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: the highest yards per attempt out of those three? Definitely 632 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: sure by a lot, by lots. 633 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. 634 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: And Shudar has five touchdowns in four games. Flaco had two. Uh, 635 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 2: Gabriel has seven and nine. What would you do if 636 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 2: you're Cleveland? 637 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: I mean assuming I don't know if he's gonna throw 638 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: for three hundred and sixty some yards every single week. 639 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: But let's just say Shdore Sanders shows core competence. See 640 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: I hear you're gonna trade him this offseason. There's gonna 641 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: trade him. There's a dirt. Yeah, you're gonna have the Browns. 642 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: You're gonna have a top five pick here, and you're 643 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: gonna go get Mendoza. Like that's just what you're gonna 644 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: do because you have two picks. Yeah, Like you know, 645 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: I think that's what you're gonna do. And you trade 646 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: do nothing he could do. 647 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: I mean if he goes for three hundred and three 648 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: and four touchdowns every game from here on out, But no, man, 649 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 2: you're you're gonna you're gonna move on, Yeah, because I 650 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 2: think the last I mean again, you still have Deshaun 651 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: Watson there. I think the last thing you want to 652 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: do is I guess theoretically you could have a quarterback 653 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 2: competition next year with shaduur Deshaun and then but then 654 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: you don't want to draft the first round quarterback and 655 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: then throw him. 656 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: Into the blender with that and cut his reps. Yeah, 657 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: and then plus the fan base is gonna be all 658 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah, not that you have to koutout 659 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: to them, but you know what I'm saying, Like, if 660 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: the fan base is in on Shudure as the guy, 661 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Deshn Watson enters the chat, 662 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: and then, oh, by the way, we have a top 663 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: five quarterback pick that is gonna have to come in 664 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: here and deal with all that that you will be 665 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: a perennial loser franchise for the next decade. 666 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: My house on the coaching staff anyway, So you know 667 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: you're gonna let them pick their guy and go from there, 668 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: and then you trade Shador probably like you know the Raiders, uh, 669 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: and turn around and get some some compensation you find 670 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: of the Kevin Stefanski sabotage door or stuff. I man, uh, 671 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 2: I don't know how to how to answer that. Did 672 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 2: I think his actions are pretty clear that he's not 673 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: setting him up for maximum success. Okay, so that's probably 674 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 2: the best way that I can I can say that 675 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: out loud. You know, you could clearly see that he 676 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: is not you know, it's not setting him up for 677 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: the maxim amount of success. That said, Uh, do I 678 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: believe that he is deliberately hamstringing him. I mean, you 679 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: just had a Browns player come on and say, that's 680 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: a play we've run to success before on the two 681 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: point conversion. 682 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: Well, and we know coaches like, I'm not gonna defend 683 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: Kevin Sefanski, I'm just saying, we know coaches sometimes get 684 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: a little clever, further too clever for their own good. 685 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: We've seen it here even in in in Denver, right 686 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: with with Sean So I could see in his mine 687 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: where he's thinking, you know what they'll never see coming 688 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: is we're gonna put Quid Schehn Judkins in the wildcat 689 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: and he's going to pitch the ball like nobody's gonna 690 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: see that coming. 691 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 2: And it's like, yeah, I mean nobody's gonna see that 692 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: coming because you shouldn't do it. 693 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean sometimes these coaches, they you spend all 694 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: week prepping a play, that is it because every coach 695 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: does this, I mean, you've got a short yardage or 696 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: a two point conversion. 697 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: Playing there somewhere that you're you know, but end of 698 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: the day, he is this putting everyone on your offense 699 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 2: in their maximum effective potential to succeed. And the answer 700 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: to that was was obviously no. It was obviously no. 701 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 2: And especially reading the room, she was having an unbelievable performance. 702 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 2: And then yeah, you got the. 703 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: Rest of the team to be frustrated with that situation too. Now, Shelby, 704 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: I thought, is that appropriately, I mean, you're thinking in 705 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: terms of what we could have done better on defense, 706 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: which is not let Tony Pollard run for one hundred, 707 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty yards and two touchdowns against us. 708 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: And he's right. 709 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: They've been one of, if not the best run defense 710 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: in the league this year, So that is on them, 711 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: and certainly from the defensive perspectives, you got to own that. 712 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: But then you look at what's happening on the offensive 713 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: side of the ball and would have went now, I 714 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: would have tied the game. So it's not even a 715 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: guarantee that you still win the game. You just would 716 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: have put yourself in a better position to maybe go 717 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: to overtime and win it there, but quickly before we 718 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: have Rod Smith, I've kind of reframed a little bit, 719 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, last night I was having fun with the 720 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: idea of the Chargers losing to the Pack or sorry 721 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: to the Eagles last night, and then losing potentially to 722 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: the Chiefs next week and the Broncos having a chance 723 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: to sew up not only a playoff spot but also 724 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: the AFC West. 725 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 2: A little bit of a reframe for me last night. 726 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: Of course, once you accept the fact that the Chargers 727 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: won that and that means this is gonna kick the 728 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: can down the road for a couple more weeks, maybe 729 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: it's not the worst thing for the Broncos to sort 730 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: of say dialed in to all of it, and again, 731 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna be chasing the one seed either way, right, 732 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: You're chasing the one seed that that is gonna go 733 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: all the way down to the wire. Because the Patriots 734 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: schedule is so it's so easy. Now they might lose 735 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: to the Bills this week, which would be interesting, But 736 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, in terms of where things stack up, 737 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: it might take it to week eighteen toil you know 738 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: who's going to be the one seed which means the 739 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: Broncos are going to stay dialed in. But if you 740 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: need to stay dialed in to that and the other things, 741 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing for this team. They've 742 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: they've been writing the success with all the pressure on themselves. 743 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: Anyways, you don't want to get complacent, That's that, you know, 744 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: and I think you know, you'd hope that this coaching 745 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 2: staff wouldn't allow that, But you don't want to get complacent. 746 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 2: And I think that just having to stay dialed in 747 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 2: means you have to stay dial there's never a conversation 748 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 2: about any of that kind of stuff. 749 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. So a little bit of 750 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: a reframe, and that's and you know, maybe it is 751 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: just coping. 752 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. 753 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: That's what it kind of feels like to me, is 754 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: saying that, like I was really hoping that the Eagles 755 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: would do us a solid. Of course, Shalen Hurts had 756 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: other plans in mind. But you know, even after the fact, 757 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, well now you can't sew up all 758 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: of that. Now you can still meet the playoffs next week. 759 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: If you beat the Packers, you're in like that, that's 760 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: officially in. But you're eleven and two team, you know 761 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: you're in. That's not really a question at this point. 762 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: It's funny you look at the oddsmakers. 763 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 2: Of course you get to We've talked a little bit 764 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 2: about the Denver Green Bay thing, where the Broncos are 765 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 2: a two and a half point dog.
