Obviously, we'll do the big Week 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: five best bets as always on Friday. Friday's podcast is 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: always a big one, and we have a good gambling 10 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: guest from Vegas locked in for tomorrow. But before the guest, 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: before the NFL, we gotta talk a little NBA because 12 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: if you were paying attention late last night, well I 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: don't know how late it was, some stuff went down. 14 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: Let's start with the Lakers, and I will say I'm 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: excited for the Lakers season. A lot of people are 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: selling the Lakers. They have seven, eight, nine somewhere in 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: there in the West. Listen. It's all dependent on health, obviously, 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: but if A D and Lebron are healthy, this team 19 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: will be better than everybody thinks. We know this. My 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: buddy Jeff A season ticket holder has already put out 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: the invite to the Lakers home opener against the Clippers. 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: I was there, I think two years ago. No, I've 23 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: been at the last two Laker home openers, and one 24 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: was against the Clippers, the other was against I think 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: the Warriors. I think the Lakers lost both those. But 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: you know the Lakers fans, obviously they freak out one game. 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: It's an eight two games slog. Will imagine when Anthony 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: Davis is a late scratch for a preseason game, Laker 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: fans in hysterics. Oh my gosh. And so it begins 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: a D already missing games. I took a deep breath. 31 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: I thought about a D miss games. You know, Charles 32 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: Barkley and these guys going after him, calling him street 33 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: close even I have joke that his nickname is a 34 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: D always down because for whatever reason, he ends up 35 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: on the ground all the time. Folks, I just want 36 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: to defend Anthony Davis for a second. In the last 37 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: three seasons. I looked up total games it played in 38 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: the regular season last three years. Kyrie Irving hundred and three, 39 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: and I'm sure there's people out there, Jay, he didn't 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: get the vacs, the the hardcore rules in New York. 41 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: Toss him out, Fine, he played a hundred three games, 42 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: but we'll toss him out a guy who went a 43 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: wall and is always hurt. Okay, Anthony Davis played a 44 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight games in the last three years. 45 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: Paul George played a hundred and thirty three, Kawhi Leonard 46 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: a hundred nine. So Anthony Davis played more games in 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: the last three seasons than Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: But Anthony Davis is the one we love to bash. 49 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: Why do we do this? And by wi I mean 50 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: fellow ink stained wretches such as myself in the media. Now, 51 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm not bagging on a d I'm just making jokes 52 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: when he misses games all he's down, blah blah blah. 53 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: I'm not being like he's unreliable because if you did that, 54 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't you have to say? The same holds true for 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. And I know some obviously 56 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: some Clippers homers, there are many of them. Well, Jay, 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: come on, Kawhi Leonard miss all of last season, fine, 58 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: fair enough, He's still only played a hundred nine games 59 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: in the two seasons prior. Kawhi Leonard is more brittle 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: than Anthony Davis. That's a fact. Go look at the history, guys. 61 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: Kauai don't want the smoke if there's anything wrong. He 62 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: loves sitting out. Okay, Anthony Davids, Yeah, he also has 63 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: his injuries, no question. But Kawhi Leonard, we can agree. 64 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: He's brutal. And I thought, why do we do this 65 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: to a D? And the media loves to beat him 66 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: up obviously because he plays for the Lakers, but also 67 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: because he forced his way out of a small market 68 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: team New Orleans to the Lakers. That was ugly. He 69 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: was getting booted at home. It was really ugly. But Jay, wait, whoa, whoa, 70 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: whoa whoa? Hold up? Kauai Leonard forced his way out 71 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: of San Antonio. Well, well, he didn't force his way 72 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: out to the Lakers. He wanted to go to l A. 73 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: He took a pit stop in Toronto, won the luckiest 74 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: championship in NBA Finals history, and then ended up in 75 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: l A. How is that different from Anthony Davis? If 76 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: the Pelicans had shipped a D mid season to some 77 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: contender and then idea of going to the Lakers, would 78 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: we feel the same way because that's what appled with Kauai. 79 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: He went to Toronto Raptors, took a chance, it paid off, 80 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: they got their lucky title. But he went to LA 81 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: to play for the Clippers and then stole Paul George 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: from Okay. See, so it's it's just weird how we 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: protect Kawai Leonard at all costs and Paul George is 84 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: a whipping boy and we love to bash Anthony Davis. 85 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: It's just NBA fans are funny. Remember Kyrie Irving is 86 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: a saint and the greatest Paul Handler in NBA history 87 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: and just misunderstood. Well, I mean, it is weird who 88 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: NBA fans defend. And here's the thing, this situation with 89 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: a d wasn't even the biggest NBA story last night 90 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: because at Golden State Warriors practice, Draymond Green punched Jordan's 91 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: Pool and they had to stop practice and send Draymond 92 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: to the locker room. He punched a teammate in pre season. 93 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: They just won the championship four months ago, and now 94 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: he's punching a teammate. So it sounds like there will 95 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: be some sort of suspension for Draymond Green. Obviously you 96 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: can't lay hands on her teammate. The story was broken 97 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: by the athletic and then all other reporters came in 98 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: trying to fill in the void. And it's weird when 99 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: something like this happens in the NFL, like it never 100 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: gets out until like weeks later. In the NBA, people 101 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: loved to chirp. It's like instantly they're texting reporters as 102 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: to what went down. Nothing stays in house. So a 103 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: couple of reports emerged, first from Chris Haines of Yahoo. Now, 104 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 1: he's very close with players, we know this. He talked. 105 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: He's close with um what's his name. He's very close 106 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: with Damian Lillard. But he Chris Haynes is uh plugged 107 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: in reporter like. I don't think players are close with 108 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: a lot of the reporters. I think Chris Haynes is 109 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: in with him. He's young ish. I think he played 110 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: in the Big Three. This was an actual tweet from 111 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: Chris Haines. Draymond Green was apologetic in the aftermath of 112 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: the altercation with Jordan Pool, but there was also but 113 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: there was a building build up stemming from teammates noticing 114 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: a change in Pool's behavior throughout camp with a guard 115 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: on the verge of securing a lucrative extension. So let's 116 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: quickly break that down. Okay, the real story. Draymond Green 117 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: punched a teammate in the face, punched him. Chris Haynes, Well, 118 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: Draymond Green apologized after an altercation. But but, but this 119 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: is all because teammates noticed Jordan Pools a different dude. Now, 120 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: you see, you see where that spin came from. You 121 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: could put up the washing machine, you know that spin 122 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: cycle when like I don't know, a running back or 123 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson does the spin cycle on somebody, or you know, 124 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Steph Curry and transition, they post the washing machine spin, Jeff, 125 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: pretty funny. If that isn't spin, I don't know what is. 126 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: Let's start. Draymond Green apologetic. Oh, we gotta start with 127 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: a positive. Well, he apologized. Altercation. No, it didn't punch 128 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: of teammate. It was just an altercation. Oh, but really, 129 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: this is about Jordan's Pool. He's a different dude in 130 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: camp because he's on the verge of a big extension. 131 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: He wants a bag. Well, yeah, Chris Haynes love you, obviously, 132 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: great reporter. I'm not taking shots at Chris Haines, this 133 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: is just reality. You can read it yourself. Draymond Green 134 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: wants a big, big, big, big, big money deal from 135 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: the Warriors. That's out there. That's obvious. Clay got paid, 136 00:07:53,880 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: Curry got another contract. Draymond wants his now. Jordan Pool 137 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: Graymond Green both angling for big money. Jordan Pool's younger, 138 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: Jordan's Pool is ascending. And oh, by the way, Jordan 139 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: Pool did not get benched in the NBA Finals because 140 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: he was terrible like Draymond Green did. So. Draymond Green, 141 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: I know the reporters are gonna be out there defending him. 142 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: He's got Clutch in his corner. We know how clutch 143 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: works on those those corners, right, you guys know, Clutch 144 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: very connected. Now here's another report from a San Francisco 145 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: sports director at a radio station game. The situation between 146 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: Pool and Draymond had been building up. There was a 147 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: lot of chatter which led to the altercation. Draymond apologized 148 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: feels as a leader, he let his emotions get the 149 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: best of him, in turn letting the team down. Now 150 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: that's a little more balanced, but still i'd see no 151 00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: mention of punch in the face. Your damn teammate that 152 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: that's unacceptable. Again, we're going with the apologized a lot 153 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: of chatter. Well, Jordan Poole should be talking that smack 154 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: because he carried Golden State at times last year. He 155 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: was awesome. And listen, Draymond Green, he's that kind of 156 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: guy who's talking trash. Remember I think I was one 157 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: of the first reporter, might have been tmzor or me, 158 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: but Dreymondurry got punched out by Tristan Thompson punched out 159 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: at a club a couple of years ago in l A. Now, 160 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't knocked out, but like punched in the face. 161 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: Like Draymond loves to run his mouth, but here somebody 162 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: jaw jacket and back at him and Draymond unloads on him. Now, 163 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how they's gonna impact the Warriors for 164 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: the season. Obviously, Draymond got had beef with Kevin Durant. 165 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: Remember when Katie was there. This guy's a hard dude 166 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: to play with in his prime, and he's passed his prime. 167 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: Draymond was integral. He can still be a really good defender, 168 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: a good passer, but he has a liability offensively. And 169 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: if this comes down to who you keep. I mean, 170 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: I've as you keep them both. But if Draymond Green says, Yo, 171 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: Charlotte's given me that bag, I got to go. If 172 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm Golden State, thank you for your service. We will 173 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: miss you. We will hang your jersey in the rafters. 174 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: Enjoy Charlotte or Detroit or wherever he's gonna pay you, 175 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: because I'm keeping Jordan Pool over Draymond Green any day 176 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: of the week. All right, without further ado, let's get 177 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: to our guest breaking down the Broncos Colts matchup the 178 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: thriller tonight.

I know what sports 184 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 1: stands want, but for everything he doesn't, he knows a 185 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: guy who does.

You've 190 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: got some returning NBA stars, but most importantly, the Broncos 191 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: are a mess. Let's welcome in Justin Adams, CBS in 192 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: Colorado called games for the Pack twelve network. Justin, How 193 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: you doing, man Doing very well, Jason. Yeah, it is 194 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: crazy around these parts, to say the least, but never 195 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: a dry moment, so it's really yeah, I mean, goodness, gracious, 196 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, obviously the Broncos are the big story. We'll 197 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: talk about the game. I am just curious as a 198 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: big NBA fan. We talk a lot of NBA on 199 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: the pod. Yokich wins two MVP awards, gets paid and 200 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,599 Speaker 1: now gets Murray and Porter back. You've got a realistic 201 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: expectation for this team right now. The West is stacked. Yeah, 202 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: the West is staffed. I think when you look at 203 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: obviously the teams that would really go up against the 204 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: Nuggets this year, obviously the Golden State Warriors for what 205 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 1: they have done wide win in the championship again. Um, 206 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: you have to put the Los Angeles Clippers in there. Um, 207 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams are a lot of 208 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: people really will look at Minnesota there in the same 209 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: division as the Nuggets. Right, So they made a couple 210 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: of moves as well. And actually the president of basketball operations, 211 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: Tim Connolly, he went from the Nuggets to the Minnesota 212 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: Timblewoods in the offseason. So that's something to keep an 213 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: eye on. But let's be honest. If you get a 214 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: healthy Michael Porter Jr. And you have a healthy Jamal Murray, 215 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: and he was about to be an All Star pretty 216 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: much before he you know, got Andrew, he was on 217 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: that trajectory. You have those guys back with k C 218 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: p as well, a guy that you traded for. Um, 219 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: you have Bones Highland coming off the bench, Bruce Brown, 220 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: the guy who played with the Brooklyn Nets. He's also 221 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: going to be on the bench as well. There's not 222 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: a lot of holes on this team, especially if they 223 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: could stay healthy. And I think the best Yokich we 224 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: could see this year, especially when he has other guys 225 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: at his disposal. Right, Yeah, I mean, listen a nugget 226 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: or because Murray hasn't played in a year, I don't 227 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: think people are talking up Denver as much as they should. 228 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: Remember in the bubble, didn't they go to the Western 229 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: Conference Finals when they beat the Clippers, went to the 230 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals and beat not only beat the Clippers, 231 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: but they came back three games to one to beat 232 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: the three to one. That's right, George off the side 233 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: of the backboard. Yes, yes, yes, so real quick before 234 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: we get to the Broncos. Are we hearing any Eric 235 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: the Enemy chatter to the Colorado Buffalo's given? Um? Hey, 236 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: listen he won? I think he won the Natty there 237 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: with them? Um or did he with so? You know, listen, 238 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 1: he's been passed over for a lot of NFL jobs. 239 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: He doesn't even get too many interviews. Maybe he just 240 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: needs to be a head coach somewhere. But would he 241 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: want to take this job? Do you are people mentioning 242 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: the Enemy for that? You know? It's interesting because Eric 243 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: b Enemy was actually on the staff as a coach 244 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: with the Colorado Buffalo is back at two thousand at ten, 245 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: I would say, two thousand at hand in two thousand 246 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: eleven with another guy, um Um Embrie and for the 247 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: life of me, I can't remember his first name, but 248 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: he was the head coach once the bus went from 249 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: the Big twelve to the pat twelve. And to say 250 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: the least, the bus were terrible. Okay, so I don't 251 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: think that's something that he would want to do. UM, 252 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: And for me personally, I would say, don't go in 253 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: that direction because the University of Colorado they have a 254 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: lot of different things that they need to iron out 255 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: from regions, from even saying are we actually going to 256 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: be a football school? Is that's something that we see 257 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: as a priority. Um, that's really one thing that's really 258 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: going on. I mean, you know Joe Klatt he played, Yeah, 259 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: well that's see you actually played with him as well. 260 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: Walked onto the team where he was the quarterback and 261 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: so he will let you know that Boulder, once you 262 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: get that thing together on't you get the call on 263 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: the Buffalos together? It is one of the best places 264 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: to watch a game. Fans be there, Okay, but you 265 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: have to go and make that commitment and not make 266 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: excuses anymore. And that's what the bus really need to do. So, man, 267 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: you almost made it sound like they just don't even 268 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: want to program because we know that they're not getting 269 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: the invite from the big ten. Um, I what are 270 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: they gonna do? Any ideas what they're gonna do. I 271 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: will say, you know, there's a couple of different options 272 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: they have. Either stay in the pack twelve, whatever you 273 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: know iteration that it will be or go to the 274 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: Big twelve. And for me personally, I say go back 275 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: to the Big twelve. And the reason why is because 276 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: you have your recruiting base set up, especially in Texas, 277 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: where you have Texas even though I know the University 278 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: of Texas is leaving, where you have your recruiting base 279 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: in Texas, that you could continue in the South and 280 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: go to Louisiana where you found a guy like Cordelle 281 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: Stewart for example, arguably the best quarterback in Colorado Buffalo's history. 282 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: So you could be able to go on all those 283 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: different places. And oh, by the way, you can still 284 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: get a couple of pieces of talent from California as well. 285 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: The biggest problem for the bus right now is this, 286 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: once you move from the Pack twelve, or once you 287 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: move from the Big till to the Pack twelve, you 288 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: lost your biggest rival, which was the Nebraska Cornhuskers. And 289 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: I know Nebraska's having their own issues, but you lost 290 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: that team that every year you marked down and said 291 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: we have to beat this team. So they really lost 292 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: their identity in many respects and so hopefully they could 293 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: be able to go back to the Big twelve, establish 294 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: their identity, pick out a new rival, and get back 295 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: to their winning ways. Because look, Ralphie, the Buffs everything 296 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: from there, the Black and Gold, they deserve to have 297 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: a really good team. All right, let's get to the Broncos. 298 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: Not as optimistic and outlook. I gotta be honest, Listen, Justin, 299 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: I was wrong more about the Broncos more than any 300 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: team in the league so far. I really thought russ 301 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: could be in line for an m v P Broncos 302 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: super Bowl contenders. And I know it's only four games, 303 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: but you look at the advanced stats inefficiency there twenty 304 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: four in offense that you can't have that with a 305 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson lead team. Um hack it. I mean, at 306 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: this point, I'm thinking one and done. I know a 307 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: lot of people think that's a little harsht Jay. Listen, 308 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: when you got when you got something going this badly, 309 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: you gotta consider it. Um. What's the viber on the 310 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: team heading into a must win tonight against a garbage 311 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: Colts team. Yeah, I think the vibe is that it 312 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: is obviously some must win game for them, and they 313 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: know this. They know that they have to win this 314 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: game against the Indianapolis Colts. Obviously you have Matt Ryan, 315 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: but you're not even take it on Jonathan Taylor right 316 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: to kill Leonard, he won't be there. Who is the 317 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: best linebacker that Um you have for the Colts. And 318 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: so this is the game that the Broncos are in 319 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: UM in a short week when they know they have 320 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: to win the game. But I want to go back 321 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: on one point that you had right there, Jason Um, 322 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: and I did some searching as well, because I'd like 323 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: to go through some numbers. In the first four games 324 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: this year, Russell Wilson has thrown for four touchdowns one interception. 325 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: He Um get this, So going back to his rookie 326 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: year he threw for four touchdowns as well. That's the 327 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: lowest number that he had since then, since his rookie 328 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: year and a four game span. Okay, but I'm now 329 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: you wondered. Okay, you'll say, okay, but maybe Russ is 330 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: getting old, right, Maybe something's going on with Russ. Maybe 331 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: his game is going down. Just last year in the 332 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: first four games he had nine touchdown passes. The year 333 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: before he had sixteen touchdown passes in these four games. 334 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: So there's a huge issue that's going on with this 335 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hacking offense, and they got to figure out a 336 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: way how to work things out because right now we're 337 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: not seeing a Russell Wilson, the pro bowler. We're seeing 338 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson the rookie quarterback from Seattle. Yeah, this is bad. 339 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: They can't do anything right. Um, I'm looking at the 340 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: rushing numbers. They haven't had a rushing rushing leader of 341 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: over seventy five yards yet this season. That I mean, 342 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 1: the Houston game was as bad as it gets. Obviously 343 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: Seattle was a debacle, but we'll just say, oh, that 344 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: was the first game. But we're four games in now 345 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: and they're the only team in the league with a 346 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: new offensive, defensive coordinators, head coach, and quarterback. And you 347 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: can say, okay, that takes a little while to bake. 348 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: But are you seeing any improvement from the Seattle game 349 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: to the Vegas game? Have you seen anything? No? And 350 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: my biggest problem that I have is what happens after 351 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: halftime in the third quarter. The Broncos only points that 352 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: they have scored this year in the third quarter. You 353 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: won't believe this. It's when Jimmy Garoppolo decided to go 354 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson to do a back pedal back, no joke. 355 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Those are the only points that the Broncos have in 356 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: the third quarter this year. That is two points in 357 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: the NFL. Two points. That's it in four games. Yeah 358 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: and so, but but my point is this is when 359 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: you talk about everybody could do something in the first 360 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: quarter the first fifty plays, right, we go over there? 361 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: What happens after you come out a halftime and the 362 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: Broncos have shown so far this year that they do 363 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing on offense. And then in the fourth quarter 364 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: you have to have Russell Wilson do something. Let's go 365 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: back to your two wins, right San Francisco forty nine? 366 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: Is it takes Russ to go and pretty much go 367 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: off script in many respects and finally get your team 368 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: into the end zone. And then you go with the 369 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: Houston Texans and you finally scored ten points. I'll get 370 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 1: a team to let's be honest, probably is looking at 371 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: the first pick, Okay, when in the text other than that, 372 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: your team is doing nothing in the second half. And 373 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: that's one of my biggest issues with this team so far. Yeah, 374 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: I remember the Raiders game. I'm almost certain I'm double checking. Yes, 375 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: they got the ball um second half after that awful, 376 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: awful fumble return for a touchdown. Uh, And they answered 377 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: that right, So it's a it's a close game. Raiders 378 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: get the field goal. Five plays twelve yards punt, three 379 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: plays negative four yards punt, three plays negative one yard punt, 380 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: three play one yard punt, and it's like four were 381 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: possessions after halftime. Like you you this is when you CounterPunch, 382 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: you adjust. Let me ask is hacking in over his 383 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: head here, to be honest, just it feels that way. 384 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: It feels that way so far that he is over 385 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: his head because you look at this team and you say, 386 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: it's not just Russell Wilson. Let's go back to that 387 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: game with the Raiders. Right, Melvin Gordon gives up the 388 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: paper scan and Goostre's right. Russ then leads the team 389 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: right down the field, score a touchdown. Jerry jo rolls 390 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: into the end zone. But this is the problem with 391 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: this team is that inconsistencies and problems all over the roster. 392 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: You're tied up sixties sixteen. Let's kick connection the point 393 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: and go up by one. Now, let's have a high 394 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: snap and um, your kicker uh misses right the edge 395 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: of the point. So now you're looking at the sixties 396 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: sixteen game. Here comes the Raiders. They kick the field goal, 397 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: and now you're going into the break down three where 398 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: you should have been up one. And those are the 399 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: type of things that have been happening with this team 400 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: over and over again. If it's not the penalties in 401 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: the first couple of games, it's then a miss p 402 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: a t which doesn't seem like a lot, but that 403 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: takes away the momentum that you have going into the break. Um, 404 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: it's okay, rust fund leads you to your team down 405 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: to a score. You're only down by two. The defense 406 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: are doing so well, so good for you. Um in 407 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter right against the Raiders, well they can't 408 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: stop them and they give up a touchdown. It's always 409 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: been one thing or another domino that has happened with 410 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: this team so far. So it feels so far that 411 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: it has been that way, that this has been way 412 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: over the head for Nathaniel Hacky.

Now, I know a lot of people 417 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: want to kill Russe and we'll get to him in 418 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: a second. But just to put a button on Hackett, 419 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: let's just say they lose this game tonight to the Colts. Right, 420 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: Let's say the wheels go off and they say, you 421 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: know what, we can't deal with this guy. Hackett was 422 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: a mistake. We need to urban Meyers ask and we 423 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: get him out of here before Thanksgiving. I don't know 424 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: is there even a logical interim head coach. I'm on 425 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: the I'm on the page looking at the staff here, 426 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: and maybe this is a problem. The offensive coordinator somebody 427 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: named Justin otan out. Okay, I never heard of this guy. 428 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: Um Clint Kobiak is a passing game coordinator. I think 429 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: we know him, and I'm sure Denver is familiar with him. 430 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Verro never heard of Yeah. Again, we've got guys. 431 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: There's no way that those any of those guys could 432 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: take over as an interim head coach. I do see 433 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: Dom Capers as a senior defensive assistant. Now that the 434 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: guy's a fossil, he's like seventy two, but he at 435 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: least has been around the block and know some stuff 436 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: like let's say they have to go nuclear and just 437 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: can't hack it before Thanksgiving? Is there a logical interim 438 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: head coach to try to get them to the playoffs 439 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: because the schedule does kind of look manageable. Yeah, the 440 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: schedules manageable now, but look at December and that thing 441 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: gets ridiculous real quick. Right. You have Kansas City on 442 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: the road, you have Kansas City at home on Sunday night, 443 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: You're taking on Baltimore. UM, I don't think you can 444 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: that thing. You'll hack it in in the first year. Um, 445 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: no matter what happens. I don't think that happens in 446 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: particular because, as you said, you do look at the 447 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: other coaches that you have and you say, okay, is 448 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: there anybody who you're comfortable with who, let's be honest, 449 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: who could work with Russell Wilson and be able to 450 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: have the offense do what it needs to do for 451 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: the team to be able to win. So I think 452 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: you keep things going the way that they are for 453 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: the most part for this year. But after this season, 454 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: if things aren't looking good, I wouldn't be surprised if 455 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: you make a change. And let's call it what it is. 456 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: Broncos just went to ownership change. They got that Walmart money. 457 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: They have a whole lot of money. Okay, they're not 458 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: going to sit around and watch their product. Okay, their 459 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 1: new team that you spent four point six five billion 460 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: on stinking up on the football field. Some changes. Well, 461 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: one more before we get to Russ. What is the 462 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: situation with Randy Gregory. I have not seen an update. 463 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: I saw obviously the Javante Williams jus is terrible. He's 464 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: out for the year. But what about Gregory? Are we 465 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: gonna see him again anytime soon? You won't see him 466 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: for at least four weeks. He was placed on injured 467 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: reserve with the knee in me and the thing about it, 468 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: who was It's not just the sacks. He looked so 469 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: good off the edge with the pressure that he brings 470 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: and so that's just another hit to this. But you 471 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: know what, it kind of brings back another point when 472 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: the Thanel Hackett unfortunately, right, Randy Gregory dealing with the 473 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: knee injury, and he'll be back, um, you know, dealing 474 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,239 Speaker 1: with some MCL issues. He should be back in two 475 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: the six weeks. Um. Nathane Hackett this year went into 476 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: training camp wanting all of his guys to be healthy. 477 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: So in all the training camp the guy's barely hit 478 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: Um and the preseason the starters didn't play for the 479 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: most part. And now you look at this team and 480 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: in training camp you're already down one of your best 481 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: wide receivers in Tim Patrick who blew out his knee. 482 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: You're now out Javonte Williams. Um, your right guard is 483 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: out in Moody. Um. You look at Billy Turner, He's 484 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: another guy who's your right tackle. He has a play 485 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: this year. Dan Lea's go on the defense side of 486 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: the ball because they're not healthy either. Justin Simmons, we 487 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: know how good he as he is as a safety, 488 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: he has a place is the first game this year 489 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: with a thigh injury. Randy Gregory right now will be 490 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: out for the next four weeks at least on injury reserve. 491 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: So the injuries are just pilling up. And this idea 492 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: that the thinge Hack had had of saying we're going 493 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: to get all these guys to the finish line the 494 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: end of the season healthy is not paying off as well. 495 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: So he gotta go and make some changes. Something has 496 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: to happen, and we're going to see just how good 497 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: of a coach he is coming up tonight. Yeah, all right, 498 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: let's focus on Russell Wilson here. First of all, I 499 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: think this has he lost his step? He looks slower. 500 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: I think that's all nonsense and noise. You would say, 501 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: you he hasn't lost a step. You know what he 502 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: has lost, though, he's probably lost having to go on 503 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: and say I need to run every play. He wants 504 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: to stay in the pocket because he's a guy who's 505 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: been knocked around a whole lot throughout his career, and 506 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: so he's trying to trust his offensive line. He's trying 507 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: to trust Courtland's Sutton on the outside. Jerry Judy is 508 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: otherwide receiver. But the reality is is that guys are 509 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: getting open and the plays. Look, if you have a 510 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: guy like Russell Wilson, roll him out and let him 511 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: do what he has to do, give him options to 512 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: either run or pass, let him go and throw the 513 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: ball deep. Your best deep threat is kJ Handler, who 514 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: has only played four plays in the last four boys. 515 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: Give this. So if you have any didn't catch a 516 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: bomb in the last game, my point exactly caught him 517 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: out a bomb in the fourth quarter, but only played 518 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: four plays. I think he tripped before he got in 519 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: the end zone, right exactly. And did they end up 520 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: getting a touchdown or No, they did, and that's when 521 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: Russ did the option's. Interestingly, on that play, Russ called 522 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: that play for a read option where he took it 523 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: in himself, right, that's what just it out in the 524 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator said. So just overall, looking at him, I 525 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: don't think he's lost a step. But he's doing the 526 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: one thing that you can't do as a football player, 527 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: and he's thinking too much rather than just playing the game. 528 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: The game's too fast to be thinking about your next move. 529 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: You have to just be able to just play the game. 530 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: You know what you're going to do. And I think 531 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: it's on Nathaniel Hackett to make it easier for him 532 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: to be able to succeed on the field. Now the 533 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: eye test for us, you, I'm with you. I don't 534 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: think he's lost his step. That being said, you go 535 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus and they have him graded out 536 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: as the seventeen best quarterbacks so far this season. I 537 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: kid you, not behind immortals like Trabinsky and Davis Mills 538 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: and Ryan Tannehill. Now again, we can equip it with 539 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: the grading system. But is the eye test different from 540 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: what the numbers saying. I see four touchdowns, one interception, 541 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: and a quarterback complete six and one percent of his passes. 542 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't care what your name is. If you have 543 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: numbers like that after four games, you deserve to be 544 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack. In the NFL, It's 545 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: just is what it is. Right. It's a production type 546 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: of league, and so right now he's not producing um 547 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: and guys have to catch the ball too, right, the 548 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: Broncos have seven drops this year. But you know what, 549 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 1: you have to figure out ways how to overcome that 550 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 1: and get yourself into the end zone. You had your 551 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: red zone issues earlier this year. Now you got to 552 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: go and solve that. And when you take it on 553 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: a team like the Colts, you got to figure out 554 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: a way how to scratch out wins and how to 555 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: get your offense better every week. At some point, the 556 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: damn has to break. At some point, the excuses have 557 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: to stop, and this is the night to make that happen. Okay, 558 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: So we're drafting quarterbacks only from the a f C 559 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: West to lead a team this season. Okay, you could 560 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: just let's say you have the Bills roster the Eagles, whatever. 561 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: But we're drafting quarterbacks in the a f C West. 562 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: You have first pick. Who you got Mahomes Okay, I 563 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: got second pick. Okay, I got say I'll go Herbert. Okay, 564 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: do you agree? Yeah? I agree? But now I'm thinking 565 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: about the third. Okay, here we go. So now you 566 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: got the third pick, and you know Derek Carr, who, 567 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: by the way, has not been good. He has according 568 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: to a football Outsiders Pro Football Focus, he's been worse 569 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: for sure. Uh that that, then Russell Wilson I would take. 570 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: I would take Russ third. Okay, we're then I will 571 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: go with Derek Carr fourth because I still like the 572 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: girl threat. Yeah, and let's be real. Car has not 573 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: been great. He's taken a lot of sacks, hold the 574 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: ball along. But all that being said, like Russ Wilson, 575 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: you know he shouldn't be even in the discussion with 576 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: a guy like Derek Carr. I don't think of him 577 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: on that level. And he got paid like he's in 578 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: the discussion with Aaron Rodgers in the top quarterbacks. Again, 579 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: it's four games. You never want to overreact. Can he 580 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: turn this thing around? It's not all hope is lost. 581 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, you know Javonte Williams, No, Tim Patrick, 582 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: you know their new their new bell cow maybe Mike 583 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: Boone for all we know. Yeah, well, right now they're 584 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: going to settle in on Melvin Gordon and hopefully my 585 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: man can stop with the butterfingers and everything because he 586 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: needs to hold on to good Yeah. I picked up 587 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: Boone in fantasy on two of my teams just to 588 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: be safe, because I don't trust me. I wouldn't trust 589 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon to pick up my mail if I was 590 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: on vacation. Oh that guy, he's just a fumble machine. 591 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: Look I'll put it this way, Okay, Jason, I just 592 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: had the birth of my baby girl. Okay, Right, if 593 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: Melvin came by me, I would say, hey, Melvin, you 594 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: can look at her, but you can't hold her. Okay, 595 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: just what it is. Look, honestly, Melvin Gordon is a 596 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: guy that when he's right, he's a pretty good running back. 597 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: He had a hun yard game against the Kansas City 598 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs in the last game of the year for the Broncos. 599 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: But you know of last season. But it doesn't matter 600 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: if you don't hold onto the ble and he has 601 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: to be able to do that. So Katie be that 602 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: Bell cow Um without having to worry about Javonte Williams 603 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: or you know, even Mike Boone. Really to be very 604 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: honest with you because he'll get a couple of carries 605 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: to you know, give Melvin Gordon a breather. But Melvin 606 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: Gordon has to be a guy who really steps up 607 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: in this game. This is his game to me, this 608 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: is his game. He needs twenty to twenty five carries 609 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: to set the player actually pass for Russell Wilson. If 610 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: that can happen and he could be successful, the Broncos 611 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: should win this game. Okay, I'm not I know, I've 612 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: brought up PROS Football Focus a few times. I'm not 613 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: a slave. But like they actually produced numbers and they 614 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: rank guys. Do you want to guess out of fifty 615 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: seven running backs where they have Gordon graded? Oh? Has 616 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: to I can't. I mean, listen, the guy has four fumbles, 617 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, like dead last. He basically got benched a 618 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: last game right after the after the fumble. I think 619 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: he played like ten snaps. Um. I don't know, Like 620 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: if you're if you're Russell Wilson, like you just at 621 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: this point, you're like, do I have to do everything myself? 622 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: That's the kind of vibe I'm getting. But anyway, justin 623 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: we can wrap up. Give me a score prediction UM 624 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: for the game Broncos Colts. The spread is three, three 625 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: and a half depending on where you're looking. Dear lord, 626 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: we're looking at two teams that are at the bottom 627 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: and points per game. Okay, the Cults they scored the 628 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: fewest points in the NFL, and the Broncos are third last. Okay, Um, 629 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: this screams to me a seventeen game. Um, Broncos win 630 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: by field goal, um, and hopefully they'll be able to 631 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: go in get their offense finally clicking somewhat. But this 632 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: is one of those weeks where you know Russ has 633 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: a bump shoulder right now, and so you just gotta 634 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: find a way how to win this game. UM. I 635 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: will guarantee you one thing, though, it will not be 636 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: as bad as that game on Sunday night against the 637 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: forty Niners. Okay, it will be a little more entertaining 638 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: than that. So say broncosen over the cold and uh yeah, 639 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: I had Denver in that one, so I I enjoyed 640 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: that and they covered. Um, But You're right, it was 641 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: kind of boring. Um, you know they didn't listen. Hacket's 642 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: not making this easy on the eyes, you know. But 643 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: a win is a win is a win. I'm curious. 644 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: I bet the first half under twenty and a half points. 645 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: We know the Colts without Taylor, I mean they're gonna 646 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: be bad. But with no Gregory just chub in the 647 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: past frsh, I mean he's Denver gonna have to dial 648 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: up blitz is. I don't know. I mean, this could 649 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: this could be a breakout game from Matt Ryan for 650 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: all I know. It could be because you know, sometimes 651 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: when all you have, when all you can do is 652 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: stole a football, Um, sometimes you just say, hey, it's 653 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: all on me, and I'm going to do what I 654 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: have to do. And so I think, you know, Matt 655 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: Ryan will throw the football a whole lot. My thing 656 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: is that I look on the outside and I see 657 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: Pat Start's hand and the way that he played this year. 658 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: I mean last week agains Davonte Adams. Um, you know 659 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: he only gave a four catches to him when he 660 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: was guarded on him one on one. And so you 661 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: put a past our tan on the best you know, 662 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Colts and they're just like God 663 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: bless you everywhere else, So it should be that type 664 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: of football game. But yes, it will be close and 665 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: it will be low scoring. Alright, Justin Adams, CBS Colorado. Justin, 666 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time, man, and uh, good luck 667 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: enjoying this game and the rest of the Broncos season. 668 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: It could be a busy one for you. Oh, it 669 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: will be a busy one. He got the avalanche, you got. 670 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: The Broncos are Rockies, Colorad Rockies are Telerable baseball team. 671 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: So hopefully the Broncos could be able to get this done. 672 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: It'll be fun to be able to cover it this week. 673 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: All right, thanks a lot. Nice. The only thing better 674 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: than sitting on your couch watching the game, he's making 675 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: money while you do it. Here's your best bat fun 676 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: stuff from Justin Adams, trying to make what is a 677 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: pretty boring Blase Thursday night football game. And listen, I 678 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: know Trabiski vers Koby Percett was not fun, but at 679 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: least you had some playmaking. Do It's like Nick Chubb 680 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: is fun. Marii Cooper can get loose. Uh. The Steelers 681 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: have Pickens who made a phenomenal catch. I like Chase 682 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: Claypoley that no, he never gets the ball. You've got 683 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: some playmakers or make a Fitzpatrick is worth the price 684 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: of admission. Myles Garrett like that game had some dudes. 685 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: This game, oh boy, Like it's just bleak, and I 686 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: do have two bets on it despite it being how 687 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: bleak it is. First up, just kind of a small 688 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: play on the Broncos minus three. I got about minus 689 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: three minus one thirteen, so there is a little juice. 690 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: I got it before though Jonathan Taylor was officially ruled out. 691 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: It was just kind of an anticipation bet. There was 692 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: like based to all the reports from the Colts beat 693 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,479 Speaker 1: writers are like, listen, it's probably a high ankle spray, 694 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: and I'm like, short week, they're not going to force 695 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: him out there. You know the division is weak. You 696 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: can still sit Taylor for a game or two and 697 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: not get fall far behind the Titans or Jags. So 698 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: you know you're you're not fighting a battle because it's 699 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: a war. You know you can lose this battle, but 700 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: you want to win the war. You save Taylor for 701 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: later in the season. Um, So I bet the Broncos 702 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: Monastery it's now three and a half. I think most 703 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 1: of that was already baked in. I don't love three 704 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: and a half as much as three. Obviously the hook. 705 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: The Nathaniel Hackett factor is very real. Last week I 706 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: was all over the Bengals. We talked about it on 707 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: the podcast. An easy winner for you guys. One of 708 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: the factors was rookie head coaches on Thursday Night Football. 709 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: They are now eight and eighteen against the spread. Doesn't 710 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: bode well for Hackett, but he's at home. The Colts 711 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: number one playmakers out. So I did lay it with 712 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: the Broncos at three, but at three and a half, 713 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't like it as much. I mean, you know, 714 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: you look at this Denver Denver offense. It's not like 715 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: they're easily getting separation, right, couldn't couldn't separate from the Texans. 716 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: Did not cover that game, barely covered against the Niners, 717 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: but they were dogs at home. This is can easily 718 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: be a thirteen ten game. Easily. I could see a 719 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: fourteen would be better, but getting to the end zone 720 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: is tough. And listen, Javonte Williams is a big loss 721 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: for them. I think last year I'm pretty sure he 722 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: led the league in broken tackles or he was among 723 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: the league leaders. He makes things happen. What does Melvin 724 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: Gordon do? And we talked about it with the guests, 725 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: he just fumbles and now you got Mike Boone. So 726 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: it's like it's just not a great spot to be 727 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: laying that hook. I mean, I guess it depends how 728 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: how the juice goes, but I think Denver wins this. 729 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: If Denver lost, I would be stunned. The Colts can 730 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: they pull this off? I mean, can Frank Reich without 731 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor? I don't know what they do for offense. 732 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: And that's why the second bet, which is the bigger 733 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: one for me, is the first half under twenty and 734 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: a half. And again we're talking about two of the 735 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: worst offenses in the league. By the way, if you're curious, 736 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: the Cults are four and no one unders this season 737 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: full game unders. The Broncos are three and one. Scoring 738 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: is difficult now. I know last week everybody thought the 739 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: same thing. First half under and they're just happened to 740 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: be a lot of points. Actually the over hit for 741 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: that game, uh in a dreadful one. But I just 742 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,240 Speaker 1: see short week hack it under the gun, not wanting 743 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: to make mistakes. Colt's inability to do anything. I mean 744 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 1: you you look at some of these explosive play charts. 745 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: I talked about it on Cowherd Show yesterday. I mean 746 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: the Rams I think are dead last in the league 747 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: and explosive plays like the Coults just can't make anything happen. 748 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: And now you've got certain on Pittman like you're gonna 749 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: be throwing dink and dunk. Maddie Ice, I believe leads 750 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 1: all quarterbacks and turnovers. He just looks lost in the pocket, 751 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: which is a weird thing to say about a veteran. 752 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: So I listen, I like the first half under a 753 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: little more than the full full game under, and I 754 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 1: got the Broncos minus three just as a tease. Listen 755 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll do the full week fives lineup. But I 756 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: have also bet the Patriots UM fairly significantly, although two 757 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: and a half has gone there. You can pay some 758 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: juice on two and a half UM. I also have 759 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. I talked about this on Cowherd Show. Second 760 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: biggest out of the week, and I think my biggest 761 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: and and kind of it's not quite a hold your nose. 762 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 1: There's some fading narratives. There's also a brutal travel slate. 763 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: You guys know I love to travel. I'll never forget on. 764 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: Speak for yourself. Maybe four years ago, Um, I was 765 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: doing NFL picks and Mike Lombardi, who was at Fox 766 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: for like five minutes, he loved getting on my case. Jason, 767 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: you think this travel so important, Well think about it. 768 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: And now I know the London obviously playing the week 769 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: after London should be a factor. That being said, Seattle 770 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: had to leave the Northwest, travel to Detroit for an 771 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: early start. I know they've won fourteen for their last 772 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: fifteen one pm starts. Then they had to travel back 773 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: to the Northwest. Now they got to travel back to 774 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: New Orleans for another one pm kickoff. Not friendly to Seattle. 775 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: And the Geno Smith stuff has gotten out of control. 776 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: All I see everywhere on the internet Juno Smith is 777 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,720 Speaker 1: the number one quarterback in the league through four weeks. 778 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: Look at all these stats that back it up. Like, guys, okay, 779 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 1: he shredded the Falcons and Alliance. Can we settle down? 780 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: What did he do the last time he faced a 781 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: real defense? Oh? San Francisco would not let him do 782 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: anything zero offensive points. I don't know the Saints you're 783 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: gonna lock them down that badly, but I can see 784 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: the same locking up an easy win here, uh, twenty 785 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: three to nine or something obscene. So I laid it 786 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: fairly heavily with the Saints. Not as big as the 787 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: Falcons bet from a couple of weeks ago, but it 788 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: would be it's up there a significant one for me. Um. 789 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: So those are something that I've already laid. We'll talk 790 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: more about the other bets tomorrow. We have a good 791 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: gambling guest based in Vegas. I think you guys will 792 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: like him. Maybe he'll have some college plays, but definitely 793 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: other nfls. There's a good teaser weekend. I'll just put 794 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: that out there. Um, enjoy the game tonight. We'll talk 795 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 1: to you tomorrow.
