1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: And you're used to this, Dave. I think I can. Uh,

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: I think I can settle into this quite nicely. How

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: are you, sir?

4
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 2: I think you've had ample opportunity to do just that.

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 3: Nine straight It beca Is it too much to ask

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: to keep it going? Is is it too much to

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 3: expect that?

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Like it's like the winning streak.

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean probably sooner or later. Everything comes

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 4: to an end, doesn't it. So they're not gonna win

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 4: like for the rest of your life. But it's it's

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 4: fun to kind of witness what they're doing now.

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: It's just in this moment and we have Dick Ferguson heinik. Oh, yeah,

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here nice classes. Yes, yeah, you guess a

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 3: white man can't jump. Look, yes you do. Interesting little

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: Wesley sneiche Look. I've kind of had that look for

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 3: wild Dave. I've not seen those big ass glasses ever.

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 5: No, you haven't seen the glasses, but the Wesley side

19
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 5: look I've had for a while.

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 6: The glasses only accentuated that good work. Thank you?

21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: Are you hearing or listening to them?

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 6: Just kidding? Stop it, Ryan, I know I can't. I

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 6: can't help it.

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: That's a great movie though, it's a great, great, great movie.

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 7: No.

26
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: I say this though, because there wasn't a moment in

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: the game last night that I was actually worried they're

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: gonna lose.

29
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 6: I'm sorry you said there wasn't a moment.

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 5: No.

31
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: I felt like they were going to win the entire time.

32
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: And and maybe I'm being spoiled at this point.

33
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: I think you're being.

34
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 5: Honest and being spoiled for sure, because I talked to

35
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 5: several people and they were quite nervous.

36
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Were you nervous, Dave?

37
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: Uh?

38
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 6: Sure?

39
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 4: You know when both through the interception, okay, And I

40
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 4: thought bow really played well last night. But that one

41
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: pick that he threw to Bobby Wagner, I'm thinking, hop

42
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: if that didn't come back, come back to get him.

43
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: So that was a That was a great read by Wagner.

44
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 5: It was great.

45
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: It was Yes, that was the early fourth quarter, right

46
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: or was it?

47
00:01:59,600 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 6: Yeah?

48
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: It was fourteen thirteen in the fourth quarter, so yeah,

49
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: that was a pivotal moment and the Broncos were holding

50
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: onto a twenty to fourteen lead at that time. Went

51
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: he through the interception because then they because Washington.

52
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: Only all feels a bit of a blur to me,

53
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: that's why. Yeah, yeah, no, that's right.

54
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: They were twenty to fourteen and the Commander's got a

55
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 4: field goal out of that pick.

56
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeahron the Broncos.

57
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: Defense, This is a stat that I think Bronco fans

58
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: will like. Thirteen turnovers given up by the Broncos offense.

59
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: The Broncos defense in those thirteen turnovers have yet to

60
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: give up a touchdown on the ensuing offensive draft that's

61
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: pretty good.

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 6: That sounds like some darn good defense right there.

63
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: It does sound like some really good deals.

64
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 6: If I didn't know any better, I would give it

65
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 6: a name. But what name would I ever give it?

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: I don't even think you need to give it a name.

67
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 6: I just think it's all, oh, no, you do you do?

68
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 5: I think guys great out of the scowling right now,

69
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 5: because they.

70
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: Know what context are? You know what?

71
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: What really is a boogers? I guess I'm tired, like

72
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: in the and so I'm forty eight hours. It's been

73
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 4: a whirlwind, so really I'm not even sure. I think

74
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: I'm here, but I'm not real sure. But you know

75
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 4: what's really not fun is when you like go on

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: a business road trip and you know you're trying to

77
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 4: get things done. And then when you're getting ready to

78
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: maybe get on a bus and then go to maybe

79
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 4: you have to go to a stadium to perform your

80
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: business task, and you take the hard contact out of

81
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: the case and it snaps in your fingers. Oh, and

82
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: so you look at it and there's you just at

83
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: that point.

84
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: It's just that's just the way it is. You don't

85
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: have a backup.

86
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: I had backup soft context, but I have to wear

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: both a soft and a hard contact in each eye. Yeah,

88
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: because I've got well it's not important. I've got I've

89
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: got what they call carrat ta konis, which is a

90
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: corneal disease anyway, So you need you have to wear

91
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: a hard contact to flatten your corneas so you can see.

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: So I can't wear glasses because I have to have

93
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: something sitting on top of my cornea anyway. So calling

94
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 4: in an NFL game with one eye is not all

95
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: that fun.

96
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: That's all. I'm not gonna pitch anymore.

97
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 6: I'm done to day was calling the game like it

98
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 6: was a piray, like Popeye.

99
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, wow, there was one highlight I wanted to

100
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: play for you, just for fun, because this was oh boy,

101
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 3: well this is an overtime when when we thought that

102
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: Brandon Jones had the game ceiling interception, but it ended

103
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: up Oh yeahfonga at the DPI.

104
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so I mean.

105
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: You you you hit this as as though it was

106
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 3: the game ceiling play.

107
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: Like the call was so perceived.

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: It almost made me angry that it was called back

109
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: on penalty.

110
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: I think it was a fourth down too, it was

111
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: fourth down.

112
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so here here, here's the call though, because the

113
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: crust fallen. Oh no's at the end from you. It

114
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: was truly I want to hear this or not, it's

115
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: really good.

116
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Here we go.

117
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: It's a four man rush.

118
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: Mario in the pocket, bounces around, bitch, knife.

00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: Brandon Jones with the interception.

122
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: Oh no, they're going to call past interference on the Broncos.

123
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. They're talking about it.

124
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,200

Speaker 4: really wasn't thinking.

162
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: I was.

163
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: I was just glad that I actually made the game.

164
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: And but I just I didn't even check the weather, right,

165
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: So anyway, but what a great what a great win

166
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: by the Broncos. And this is a team that's won

167
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: nine consecutive games.

168
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: It's truly remarkable. And and that coming back to my

169
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: original point. And maybe I am a bit spoiled, but

170
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I'm bought in. I'm bought into

171
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: the process. I'm bought into the way they're getting it done.

172
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 6: Because you were not nervous at all.

173
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: Dave's right, when the when both through the interception was

174
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: kind of like, all right, well, another test.

175
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: For the defense they're gonna have to hold up here.

176
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: I did think that when the Broncos offense got the

177
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 3: ball back, they ended up punting it, but they got

178
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: the ball back with three thirty one remaining. I thought

179
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: that was gonna be another moment because they've done this

180
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: all year. Yeah, we're going to close the ball, close

181
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: the game out on offense, so oh it's over. When

182
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: they punted it back there, there was kind of like,

183
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: all right, defense has been out there a lot, so

184
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: I was like, maybe you just gave up a field

185
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: goal and we send this thing to overtime, and I

186
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: like their chances still, but and then you know that

187
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: overtime drive, eleven play, sixty five yards and they scored

188
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: the touchdown on fourth down to Terry McLaurin. Yeah, big play,

189
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: yad how many penalties anyways, but that one didn't get called.

190
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: And then of course Nick Benito had the recredible moment.

191
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: But it just there wasn't a moment because the team

192
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: just continues to deliver in these high pressure moments.

193
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

194
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: I think that.

195
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: If you you look at this this season, its totality, right,

196
00:08:54,559 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 4: there have been two and two teams in NFL history

197
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: that in the first twelve games in the season have

198
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: been behind in all twelve and Denver has the most

199
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 4: wins out of those two hundred and two teams with

200
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 4: ten wins. The next team is the Houston oilers, which

201
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 4: should tell you how long ago it was. And a

202
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 4: team that I played against in nineteen seventy eight, they

203
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 4: went eight and four in their twelve wins. So the

204
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: Broncos have trailed in every single game this year, in

205
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: all twelve games, and yet they've come back to win

206
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: ten of the twelve. They're the only team in NFL

207
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: history that has achieved that mark.

208
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's you just there's no rhyme or reason.

209
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: You can't explain it.

210
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: They found the formula to win close games, and there

211
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: is a g I think, a genuine belief with that group,

212
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: which I can attest. I've been a part of a

213
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: team like that. It's a powerful, powerful thing that you

214
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 4: just never ever think out of the game.

215
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 5: I think for the Broncos, it's almost like what we

216
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: saw last year with Kansas City. There's now a belief

217
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 5: that this is now the formula and so gone all

218
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 5: those days where you're just blowing teams out. This is

219
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 5: what the new NFL to me looks like. The Broncos

220
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 5: have done it for several games, and there's other teams

221
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 5: who've done it sporadically here and there. But when you

222
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: look at the game itself. The Broncos offensively dominated the

223
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 5: first half, and then you look at Washington, they dominated

224
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 5: the second half. Thirteen points by the Broncos in the

225
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 5: first half, thirteen points by Washington in the second half.

226
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 5: And just knowing as though you've been through this situation

227
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 5: multiple times, you've seen this movie. Most teams, we would

228
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 5: normally see them collapse. You'll see infighting on the sidelines,

229
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 5: players going after one another, but you don't see that

230
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: with the Denver Broncos. They're looking at each other like,

231
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: you know what, we got there right where we want

232
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 5: them because we've been here before.

233
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 6: We know how to win games.

234
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 5: And we were talking about the Broncos earlier in the

235
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 5: season when this is a conversation that we have like

236
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 5: being able to, like bad teams find ways to lose games,

237
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: they're finding ways to win games, and the confidence keeps

238
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 5: continuing to swell as they continue to do this every

239
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 5: single game.

240
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: You brought up the Chiefs and I was getting into

241
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 3: it with Chiefs fans this morning, which is again sort

242
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: of a typical thing for me.

243
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: But I was getting into with Chiefs.

244
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: Fans because I was pointing out, in my opinion, a

245
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: bit of a hypocrisy of last year, the Chiefs winning

246
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 3: those eleven games by one score, right, just finding different

247
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: creative ways to win games, and sometimes it was just

248
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: lucky Horsey or whatever it was.

249
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Refs.

250
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: Nobody's called them frauds, but all I mean, I was

251
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 3: driving home, I was listening to a national talker. I

252
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: think he's been malor does a great job, but he

253
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: was going off about how this team is frauds and

254
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: he called Bonix a he's a rough quarterback. Like he

255
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 3: was just like, I believe in nothing they're doing. I

256
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: believe in absolutely nothing that they're doing.

257
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: Not even I'm not smart to figure out what that means.

258
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 7: Either, but he was.

259
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: He was trying to.

260
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: He just doesn't believe he's a real quarterback, is more

261
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: or less when he's trying to like, he's not a

262
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 3: real quarterback. So some so the Broncos are doing this thing,

263
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: like you just pointed out, they're doing this thing, and

264
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: yet they're being labeled as frauds or it's all going

265
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: to fall out from underneath them at some point where

266
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: other teams, and I guess maybe more established teams do

267
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: the same thing and it's like, oh man, what they're

268
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: clutch they find what there, they are, they believe in

269
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: each other.

270
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: It's different.

271
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think the Broncos, you know, if

272
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: you're to be completely honest about this season, in this

273
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: nine game winning streak, I mean, they have found just

274
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 4: about every single way possible to win games. And I

275
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: think the game that most people hold on to in

276
00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: terms of, you know, having having sort of gut feeling

277
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 4: of like really seriously was the Giants game. You know,

278
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 4: when you score thirty three points in a quarter which

279
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: never had never done before, and you come back almost

280
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 4: literally from the dead and you win an NFL game.

281
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 4: I mean, people are going to scoff at some of

282
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: the stuff that you do. But again, this is a

283
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 4: really I think this is a really good football team,

284
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: and I think honestly it's It may be cliche, but

285
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 4: to me, it strikes me as a team that really

286
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: enjoys each other.

287
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: They like each other.

288
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 4: That doesn't always happen in NFL locker rooms.

289
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: It just doesn't. You there's a respect.

290
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: Level that you give your teammates, but you know there's

291
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: some that you just don't care for. They're just your teammates.

292
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: This team strikes me as a team that is really

293
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: bonded nicely, and I think those type things happen more

294
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 4: frequently when you are experiencing this kind of success, this

295
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: kind of run. So I'm listen, I'm I'm a believer,

296
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 4: and I want to see how this season plays out

297
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 4: and where they wind up.

298
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: You know, will they have the number one seed in

299
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: the AFC?

300
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 4: If so, they get a week off and they got

301
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 4: to win two games to get to the super Bowl.

302
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: And I think to think in any other way would

303
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 4: diminish what this team has accomplished this season quickly.

304
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: On that you talked about sort of the culture or

305
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: what they are is that I guess it's probably all

306
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: of it, Sean, the types of players that they're bringing in,

307
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: Like you're looking for personality types, because we talked for

308
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: years that drafted.

309
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Captains, for example, by college captains. Yeah, exactly.

310
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: Guys are in college sometimes for four years, like old

311
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: older players.

312
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: Is that kind of part and polish parcel with that?

313
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: I think on any successful team in the NFL, you

314
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: have you have a toughness element physically and mentally. You

315
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: have a lead readership element. You have guys that police

316
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: the locker room now coaches, and you just got guys

317
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: who love football.

318
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: Now, all those things are.

319
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: Easier I think to make happen when you're winning games.

320
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 4: You know, if you flipped their record and they were

321
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: two and ten, then you wouldn't get the same sort

322
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: of feeling like I can't wait to get to work.

323
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: I wonder what today is going to be, like, man,

324
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: what's up with practice today? Or how long is this

325
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: period gonna be? Or we're gonna have more red zone opportunity.

326
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: But when you're ten and two and a top the

327
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: AFC West, you can't wait to get to work and

328
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: hang out with with your boys and say, hey, how

329
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: are we going to find a way to win this week?

330
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: So that helps certainly.

331
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 4: But I do think, and we all three talked about this,

332
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: I think Sean and George have done a good job

333
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: with intentionality of bringing the right type of person. You

334
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: gotta have guys that can play. You can't have great

335
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: people that have no football ability. But you can find

336
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: guys that love football, that are team oriented, that are

337
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: not divas. They're not going to cause any sort of

338
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: you know, ruckus, it ain't gonna be about me, me, me,

339
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: me me, And I think they've done an excellent job

340
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 4: in really filling the locker room with as many guys

341
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: like that as they possibly can.

342
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 6: For me, as you were saying, that was writing these things.

343
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 5: Now, when I look at this team, it's about establishing

344
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 5: an identity on that side of the ball, and right

345
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 5: now the defense is the main identity of this team,

346
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 5: with the offense starting to come along. The other thing

347
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 5: is you're getting more younger players, and we've seen this

348
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 5: over the years under George Payton, since he's been here

349
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 5: the whole draft and developed guys. We're seeing more younger

350
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 5: guys get more playing experience, which helps in the long term.

351
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 5: But also there's this belief in every guy on the field,

352
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 5: every guy in the locker room, believing in one another.

353
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 5: And Vance Joseph talked about it last week when he

354
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 5: was asked a question about what has been the driving

355
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 5: force behind how his defense has played so well. It

356
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 5: is the willingness to sacrifice your own statistical stats for

357
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: another player.

358
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 6: And I can tell you this. Normally you don't get

359
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 6: that everyone is always.

360
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 5: Out for themselves because they have incentives in their contract.

361
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 5: But seeing this defense being as giving of the guys

362
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 5: willing to give up a stat for someone else. To

363
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: me that's extraordinary, and that's led to this cohesion that

364
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 5: we're seeing right now.

365
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: That was really cool stuff. We're gonna be in rapport

366
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 3: joining us here in a few minutes. By the way,

367
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 3: introducing Lane Kiffen out there at LSU the private jets

368
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 3: going in.

369
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: By the way, Ole miss Ben showed me this last night.

370
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: I guess they put his clothes, like a rack of

371
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: his clothes outside of the facility, like basically like come

372
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: get your stuff kind of deal. But uh, I don't

373
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 3: think he's worried too much about it. At thirteen million

374
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: per for seven years.

375
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: That's uh, that's quite a sum.

376
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: That's nice.

377
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: That's quite a sum.

378
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 6: It's nice ring to it.

379
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 5: Do you not like to move lay here from deciding

380
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 5: to go to oh Miss another team in the SEC?

381
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 6: I mean it's fine.

382
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

383
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: Does he have a better chance to win a championship

384
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: at LSU, Yes, yes, money given him absolutely, and the

385
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 3: money I.

386
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 4: Mean historically LSU has been a much more prominent program

387
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 4: than ole miss And but I understand from ole Missus standpoint,

388
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 4: you know, it's like the jilted lover. It's like, wait

389
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 4: a minute, you're you're not only leaving us. You're leaving

390
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 4: us and you're going to an SEC rival school.

391
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: We hate you.

392
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 4: So, I mean, I understand that. But this thing has

393
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 4: been in the works for the last couple of months.

394
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 4: There are people in the know that were absolutely certain

395
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: that Lane Kiffin was going to LSU, and I'm talking

396
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: about more than two months ago, and we're making plans

397
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 4: in terms of what that might look like and who

398
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 4: he was going to take with him. Uh, and I'm

399
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 4: talking about prominent, prominent college football people.

400
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 6: So you know, he did.

401
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 4: He did a great job at Ole Miss. The said

402
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 4: thing about it is, and I don't fault Ole Miss

403
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: with this, but he's not going to be able to

404
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: coach them in the college football playoffs.

405
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: They've got it.

406
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 4: They've got a hell of a team. I mean, they've

407
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 4: got a really good football team.

408
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're I mean they're they had an amazing football team.

409
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: And you said it, right, I mean that's you know,

410
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: leaving a team in the midst of maybe a championship run.

411
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of a weird deal.

412
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: Why do people hate him?

413
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 7: Though?

414
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: I see I think I think Mississippi at the ad

415
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: at Ole Miss was in a no win situation.

416
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: Do you let him stay and coach.

417
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: You got a lame duck coach, and you've got I'm

418
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 4: sure some prominent boosters that are like, what you doing

419
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 4: this guy? This guy is leaving us. But if you

420
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: don't allow him to coach, you've got I would think

421
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 4: a lot of the kids that want him to stay

422
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 4: and make a run at this thing. So I think

423
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: the ad was in a no win situation. But what

424
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 4: do you think about so many people hating Lane Kiffin

425
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: for making this move? I mean everyone's yeah, people just

426
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 4: hate it nowadays. Yeah, you know, yeah, Well, once.

427
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: Again, it's it's a reminder, it's a very important reminder

428
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 3: about the business of college football.

429
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: That's why it is business.

430
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: It is business.

431
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: And so for all the handwringing over the years of

432
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: paying players, not paying players, to players being greedy chasing money,

433
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear it.

434
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: I never want to hear it ever again.

435
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 5: And then once again, you got a fifty fifty five

436
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 5: and nineteen record at Ole Miss.

437
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 6: That's right, someone's gonna come out an Ole Miss.

438
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: Apparently, according to store, Mandel offered the same amount of money.

439
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Nearly identical is the words that were.

440
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 6: Used, say see identical and nearly identical, are not the same.

441
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: They're some escalators for National Championship stuff I saw for LSU,

442
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 3: and maybe there's some stuff in there they couldn't they

443
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: couldn't match. But I'm just saying, like, if they're offering

444
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 3: him thirteen million dollars per stay around there.

445
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: Came down to cornbread and gumbo. Got to be that.

446
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 6: Give me that gumbo.

447
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: All right.

448
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: We're offering early here to Monday victory Monday when we

449
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:27,439

455
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 7: For the time.

456
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: How are you what's going on?

457
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 7: How you guys doing.

458
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: We're doing.

459
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: We're doing, Grady, and I want to I want to

460
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: ask you to start not really an NFL question, but

461
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 4: about about football.

462
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: Lank Giffin makes the decision. He goes to LSU.

463
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 4: Were you ever hearing any buzz whatsoever that there may

464
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 4: have been a couple of teams the NFL that that

465
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 4: reached out and engaged any interest that he might have.

466
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 7: Uh No, I didn't didn't catch wind of that at all.

467
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 7: I mean I was to me and based on you know,

468
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 7: my knowledge of that situation, it was basically always LSU.

469
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 7: That was the job he wanted, that was the job

470
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 7: that I think fits invest And yeah, I mean it's

471
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 7: you know, look he did obviously coach in the NFL

472
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 7: was a disaster. It probably wasn't ready to be a

473
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 7: head coach on any level at that point, right, But

474
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 7: you know, it's there's not a good track record of

475
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 7: college head coaches to come into the NFL. And look,

476
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 7: I'm sure there'll be some potential that we'll talk about,

477
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 7: but like it hasn't worked. So I feel like at

478
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 7: some point people will say, you know what, let's just

479
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 7: try NFL coaches and leave it there.

480
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: And when we watched the game yesterday, Justin Herbert suffered

481
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 5: injury to his hand and I think he had surgery today.

482
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 5: Long term, how does this impact Because I know I

483
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 5: was reading something earlier and they say that he was

484
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: trying to play in next week's game.

485
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's going to be possible.

486
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 5: Well, what's your thought process on his injury and now

487
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 5: it impacts the charges moving forward?

488
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, so, first of all, he hasn't had surgery yet,

489
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 7: but he will today probably actually probably doing it right now.

490
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 7: He is planning to play on Monday. They have the

491
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 7: extra day they play the egos. I believe, so he

492
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 7: is planning to play on Monday, and you know, it

493
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 7: sounds to me like the surgery doesn't hurt his window.

494
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 7: Like surgery to kind of secure it and make sure

495
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 7: that the bonus repaired to metacarpal fracture. That probably, if anything,

496
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 7: accelerates things, so you know, he's got a chance to play.

497
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 7: We've seen Aaron Rodgers do it all. All injuries are

498
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 7: not the same, but ice Aaron Rodgers do it with

499
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 7: a wrist injury a week after this is a hand injury,

500
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 7: but it's the same week. So you know, my sense

501
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 7: is that's possible, and I believe he's planning to do it.

502
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: We were just talking about the Broncos win, as you

503
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 3: would imagine moments ago on Sunday Night Football. Was what

504
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: was your takeaway from that game and more specifically of

505
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: the Broncos nine game winning streak.

506
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: Now sitting atop of the AFC.

507
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 7: You know, I mean, first of all, it wasn't surprising.

508
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 7: That's basically they've played versions of that game so many

509
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 7: different times. I thought, you know, the play at the

510
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 7: end was interesting because you know, you can sort of

511
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 7: look at it and say, well, you know, the two

512
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 7: point version I'm talking about. You said, well, you know,

513
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 7: the Commanders it was open. You know, it was I

514
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 7: think it was Jeremy McNichol was the running back. It

515
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 7: was open. It's like, well, yeah, it was open. But

516
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 7: part of the reason that happens is because Nick Benito

517
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 7: is going to get after the quarterback and get in

518
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 7: the way and kind of ruin the play. And he

519
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 7: has been unbelievable this year, really building off what he

520
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 7: did last year. And you know, it was a similar

521
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 7: cind of ending we've seen, which you know, I think

522
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 7: for some people, especially early on, it's like, well the

523
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 7: Broncos really that good. They've sort of like pulled out

524
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 7: some games in the end. It's been a little crazy,

525
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 7: but at some point you do it enough and it's

526
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 7: not random. At some point it's like, all right, well,

527
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 7: this team actually knows how to really knows how to

528
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 7: win and play in crunch time when it matters most,

529
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 7: and that really does seem to be one of the

530
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 7: core characteristics of this Broncos team.

531
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 2: You know.

532
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 4: And when the season started, or actually before the season started,

533
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: I think the usual cast of characters most people felt

534
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 4: would be the ones that towards the end of the

535
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 4: regular season would be fine for whatever playoff spot that

536
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: they could attain. I mean, with Patrick Mahomes and Josh

537
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 4: Allen or Lamar Jackson. But it's been I mean, it's

538
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 4: been a crazy year when normally maybe one of those

539
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 4: teams with one of those guys falls off, but Joe

540
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: Burrow got injured. I mean, those four teams that over

541
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: the last few years have been right atop the AFC,

542
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: they've all had.

543
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: Their issues and all of them, for various reasons, have

544
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: slipped back.

545
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been a really interesting, strange year for sort

546
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 7: of like the teams that are always always in the mix.

547
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 7: You mentioned him, you know, Jeeves and the Raymond. Raymond

548
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 7: started with a horrific start. Jeeves have sort of you know,

549
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 7: been up and down, I think trying to you know,

550
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 7: really trying to get some sort of footing and get

551
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 7: to a point where they can really play some consistent football,

552
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 7: and it hasn't really happened yet, you know. And so

553
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 7: what that's done is open the door to some of

554
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 7: the others. And you know, I would say this, Sean

555
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 7: Payton has never been shy, and he's been talking about

556
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 7: having a team that is good enough to be in

557
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 7: the super Bowl since the preseason. Yep, So I think

558
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 7: what a lot of people are surprised.

559
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: He's no dummy.

560
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 7: And I never got the sensor was like a motivational technique.

561
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 7: I got this sentially, really believed it, and now it's

562
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 7: sort of like, really wouldn't be that much of a surprise.

563
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 5: The season, everyone was wondering what was this relationship between

564
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson and Cavib Williams going to look like? And

565
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 5: right now they are nine to three, they have a

566
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 5: number one seat as far as today is concerned. What

567
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 5: has been your what has been your take on the

568
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 5: Chicago Bears and what you're seeing from them and the

569
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 5: quarterback position.

570
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 7: You know, we'll start with the quarterback position. I think

571
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 7: it's been okay. You know, Caleb Seem's receptive. He showed

572
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 7: a lot of the athleticism and reasons why he went

573
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 7: number one overall, you know, I think down in and

574
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 7: down out, the passing game has probably not been what

575
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 7: they wanted. There's definitely some inconsistency there. But when you

576
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 7: hire Ben Johnson, what you get is one of the

577
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 7: more creative offensive attacks we've seen in one of the

578
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 7: more creative run games. So, like, I was at the

579
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 7: Eagles Bears game on Friday, and that was a full

580
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 7: dominant performance by the Bears offensive line and by the

581
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 7: various running backs. Two of them had over one hundred yards.

582
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 7: So it's like, you know, whatever you want to say

583
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 7: about Kale, if he just makes enough plays, they're fine

584
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 7: because their run game and their offensive general is so

585
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 7: good and so efficient that they can sort of handle

586
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 7: everything else.

587
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: Last one I have for Ian I always appreciate the

588
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 3: time coming going back to the conversation the question Dave

589
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: had about how topsy turvy this season has been, and

590
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: I think a lot of ways it makes more interesting.

591
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 6: A lot more fun.

592
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: Who do you believe in in the AFC?

593
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: Like you're taking a look at the standings right now,

594
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: and I'm not doing this because I need you to

595
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: say the Broncos, although that would be fun, but that

596
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: has been the big topic right now, it's like, well,

597
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: you got the Buffalo Bills are the seventh seed, right,

598
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: I mean, Kansey Chiefs are the ten seed in Baltimore

599
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: sort of hanging on by a thread at the four

600
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: Those teams we usually say we believe in, and here

601
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: we got all these newcomers at the top.

602
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: So in the AFC, I don't know what do you

603
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: believe in?

604
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 6: Yeah?

605
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 7: I mean I'm still trying to figure that out, because

606
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 7: you could say, you know, one of the more efficient

607
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 7: teams was the Colts long time yep, and now it's

608
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 7: like that looks like it's slipping away a little bit.

609
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 7: In the Texan defense is awesome. Actually, Texans sort of

610
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 7: remind me the Broncos, I think, haven't won as many

611
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 7: close games, but similar makeup of a team. And so

612
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 7: it's like the one thing we're all going to have

613
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 7: to be comfortable with is like a football watching public

614
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 7: is understanding the characteristics of a team that we're not

615
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 7: used to talking about in January. So it's like, you know,

616
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 7: people are going to say, and I'm sort of one

617
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 7: of them, but people are going to say, you can

618
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 7: never count the Chiefs out, and it's like, well, true,

619
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 7: definitely true. Of that, Patrick ma Holmes. If you watch them,

620
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 7: they don't really look like the Chiefs at all this year.

621
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 7: And so you know, that's what this December and early

622
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 7: into January is going to be about, is understanding like

623
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 7: which teams really can bring it, regardless of what their

624
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 7: names are. And I think that's really going to be

625
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 7: fun because it's can introduce a whole bunch of new

626
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 7: characters to the football watching public.

627
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: One last quick one Adam Deelan released today. Do you

628
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: have any kind of thoughts about what teams might be

629
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 3: interested in him?

630
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 7: No, but you know the I don't think it'll be

631
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 7: the Panthers, you know, can he help someone? I think

632
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 7: maybe he's definitely looked a little different this year. I mean,

633
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 7: sometimes this is sort of what the end looks like.

634
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 7: And it sucks because Neil had a great career, but

635
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 7: like you know, couldn't really contribute for an offense that

636
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 7: has not been exactly stellar, and I'm not sure how

637
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 7: much he has left. I think best case he'd latch

638
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 7: onto a playoff for any team, but I just don't

639
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 7: know that there's that many spots available on those offenses,

640
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 7: barring some short injury.

641
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: But we'll see I.

642
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: Will see Ian. Always appreciated man. We'll check you on

643
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: the next week.

644
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 6: Okay, look forward to it.

645
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, I thank you Ian Rappaport, our NFL Network insider.

646
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: On the free It's totally awesome.

647
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app, which is now redesigned like you have in

648
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 3: your car with presets, so you can go through and

649
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: click the preset that you want, whether it's a Kowa

650
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: and one of our amazing sister stations here in the building.

651
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: Also you could said KA Sports specifically as a preset,

652
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 3: so then that way you never miss an episode of

653
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: the show or interview from the show, or say Broncos React,

654
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: which we had to really go in last night. We'll

655
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: have another one coming up after the Raiders game on Sunday.

656
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: The Broncos, they're very interesting. The Broncos are very interesting

657
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: for doing things like this. You realize, Nick Ferguson, they

658
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: had a free agent visit today with Elijah Moore.

659
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: Okay, it's an interesting name, and that's part.

660
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: Of the reason why I ended up asking about Adam

661
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: Zelin of course has some relationship there with George.

662
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 6: Are you thinking that the Broncos should add another receiver?

663
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: Well, they are.

664
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: Looking at receiver. I am not saying they need to

665
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: add a receiver. They are saying that they might have.

666
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 6: A receiver that they're trying to communicate.

667
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you that exact question that

668
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: I'm leading into it. Oh, maybe I'm leading witness a

669
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: little bit to it, but i'm leading into what does

670
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: that mean to you?

671
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 6: You're on a leading the witness. Okay, but you know what,

672
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 6: here's the day, So.

673
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 5: I'm not that's not indicative of saying that the Broncos

674
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 5: are not satisfied with the production.

675
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 6: They have a wide receiver. This happens all year long

676
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 6: with every.

677
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 5: Single team in the NFL. Like on a Tuesday, what

678
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 5: have you there? Bring guys in there, work them out.

679
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 5: You just want to make sure that they're not working

680
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 5: guys out of your position. So that's why I would

681
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 5: normally come in and work out on Tuesday to see

682
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 5: who's in the building. Yes, so while i'm lifting, I'm

683
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 5: looking on the film. I'm writing down checking notes too

684
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: as well. But no, you're always supposed to do your

685
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: evaluation because you never.

686
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 6: Know what if someone goes down. You want to be prepared,

687
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 6: You want to be ready.

688
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 5: You want to know that there are guys that you

689
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 5: put a list together that you could say, well, we

690
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 5: can go and plug this guy I either off another

691
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 5: team's roster that's heavy with wide receivers, or we can

692
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 5: go get this who is a street free agent.

693
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: Do you feel like they need to add wide receiver

694
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: help here, No, I don't.

695
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 5: What I do think Ryan, they need to be more

696
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 5: efficient at their technique at times from a wide receiver standpoint,

697
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 5: I'll see that like being able to create separation at

698
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 5: the top of the route consistently. Because in the game

699
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 5: yesterday there's some times that bow was looking still looking

700
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 5: and had to bail out of the pocket, which a

701
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 5: lot of critics have kind of overly criticized him for that,

702
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 5: saying he's bailing on plays. But he's looking for guys

703
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: to win on their routes, to feel and at times

704
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 5: guys are not winning.

705
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: I'm with you, I say, if there's going to be

706
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 3: an ad, I would consider a running back. Although I

707
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: did like some things I saw at RJ. Harvey last night,

708
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: and I think there's still more development to be had.

709
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: He had a great pass pro rep too near the

710
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: end of the game that allowed Bonus to think it

711
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: was the Evan Ingram completion getting the gown is yes,

712
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 3: or maybe it was Adam Troutman. Actually I take that back.

713
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: I think it was the Adam Troutman pass. The Evan

714
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: Ingram was was the next one, but the Adam Trollin passed.

715
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: He had to. Yeah, he had to lay out for

716
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: that block to give Bonick some time.

717
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: I'm encouraged. I mean, you look, so you want to

718
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 3: see these guys step up into bigger roles. We always

719
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 3: say next man up right. It's a big cliche that

720
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 3: gets panting about all the time. And this is an

721
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 3: example right here where you don't have JK.

722
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: Dobbins.

723
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: You're the guy.

724
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: Julian McLoughlin's gonna be in there. But you look at

725
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 3: the the snap diispersement. You look at the amount of touches. R. J.

726
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: Harvey got thirteen carries to Jelia McLoughlin's six. Rjie Harvey

727
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 3: also got three catches on four targets to Jelil McLoughlin's.

728
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: One point is is R. J. Harvey is the lead

729
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: back here.

730
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 3: It's by committee in the sense that Juliel, maybe Adam Prentiss.

731
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: And Tyler Badat's gonna you know they're all gonna mix in,

732
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: but RJ. Harvey's gonna get double digit touches every game.

733
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: But he absolutely has.

734
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 6: To by necessity. You know, JK. Dobbins and two.

735
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 5: Coach Payton selected him, was really high on him. So

736
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 5: now you don't have your they say your number one back,

737
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 5: so your number two back, you know, running back b

738
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 5: You now have to utilize the skill set and a

739
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 5: certain way to get the most out of him. And

740
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 5: even though the thirteen carries for thirty five yards, that's

741
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 5: not extraordinary from a running back standpoint, We can get

742
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 5: into it later.

743
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 6: But his ability to catch and the RJ.

744
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 5: Harvey to catch the ball out of the backfield with

745
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 5: Salts hands and know what to do with it, that's where.

746
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 6: He comes in.

747
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 5: And that's where he reminds me of another running back,

748
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 5: kind of shortened Saki, who spent some time with the

749
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 5: nor Lean Saints and Darren Spros. That's the thing that

750
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 5: made Spros so great in the screen game.

751
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, three hitches for twenty seven yards, me averaging nine

752
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 3: per catch. If you're gonna get that out of you

753
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 3: running back, which of course is not going to consistently

754
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 3: do that. But the fact is he would catch it,

755
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 3: and he would fight for yards. He fought for a

756
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: couple of big time first downs in the game. So

757
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: I want him on the field as often as possible.

758
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: That's kind of my point of this is, like people

759
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 3: keep saying, why I want I know the running back, Well,

760
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 3: if you wanted to add an insurance, you know.

761
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: Somebody in there to give you.

762
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: Somebody to back him up. Otherwise, I'm fine. I think

763
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: we're good. I think we're in pretty good shape.

764
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 6: Actually, I think it would be good if the Broncos

765
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 6: did add better than a running.

766
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 5: Back like that.

767
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I want to take him

768
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: off the field that much.

769
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 6: That doesn'ts you know, you're not taking him off the field.

770
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 6: Have you taken someone else off the field?

771
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: Would you take Jhalil off the field?

772
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 7: Not?

773
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: In this case?

774
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't either, all right.

775
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 3: Somebody asked this question on the text line, and I

776
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: think it's appropriate to answer. I mean, we try to

777
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 3: answer as many as we can anyways, but this one

778
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 3: specifically because I've seen this come up.

779
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: I saw it coming up last night during React. It's

780
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: come up now even on Twitter.

781
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 3: Why didn't the Broncos win More decisively against Washington. And

782
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: why the same thing with the Raiders a couple of

783
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: weeks ago. Why were they not more to SI in

784
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: their victory against bad teams the Jets?

785
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: Same thing, Why inso that next
