00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: a look at this matchup from the Commander's perspective. All

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: that more coming up. Broncos had another day of practice

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: here as they're now just three days away from their

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Week two matchup versus the Washington Commanders, and today we

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: heard from cornerback passer Tan as he spoke to the

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: media and discussed how he approaches every week and every opponent.

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 2: Yes, skiing first, I look at it as you know,

15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: guys running rots.

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 3: Within his game, certain concepts will dictate.

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: That by their splitz, by the way how they align

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: and you know, I mean you could just tell by

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: the man Arizma off the ball big in the bottom.

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: I so you know, just a little details like that.

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Sir Chan also went on to talk about the Commander's

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: playmakers and how the look to defend them this Sunday.

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: They got two great receivers, and Dustin and McLaurin. They're

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: pretty versus a scheme. They can match up anywhere on

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: the field, so you know, they use those guys well

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: within their play called and style, and those are two

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: playmakers obviously, you know what I mean.

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: So defensively, we've got everything scheming up.

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: You got to play for them as well too, so

30
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: you know it would be an exciting matchup.

31
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: And on the other side of the ball, offensive coordinator

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Joe Lombardi talked today about the challenges the Commander's defense presents.

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean there's four challenges really. I mean they're

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: you know, number again. I don't know if Chase Young's playing.

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 4: I know that he practiced the limited fashion yesterday. But

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: that's four first rounders who's lived up to their billing.

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: You know, edges can rush, can set edges inside really

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: good rush or strong. I mean, it's just no weak

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: spots at all. So it's gonna take you know, all

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 4: the offensive lineman tight ends everyone in order to execute

41
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: against those guys.

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Plus wide receiver Jerry Judy was a full participant at

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: practice today and coach Lombardi talked about what it will

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: mean to have him back out on the field on Sunday.

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a he's a great route runner, so someone

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: you feel really good when he's matched up man to man.

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: So when you recognize that, you know someone that you

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: look too early as a quarterback. You know, a guy

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: that consistently can get separation. And so just the more

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: the more receivers that you have that can win those

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: one on one matchups, the easier it is. So just

52
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 4: you know, definitely be good to have him back.

53
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: Unscordinator Van stosp also talked today about the Broncos pass

54
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: rush and how important it will be to get that

55
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: going in week two.

56
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 5: It's absolutely important. You know. Obviously last week we didn't

57
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 5: have much pressure on the quarterback and the third down

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 5: you know, win percentage showed that, you know, so obviously

59
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 5: pressure in the quarterback and getting him off his spot,

60
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 5: you know, and winning third down is gonna be critical

61
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 5: when his game last week's game, downs is where we

62
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 5: kind of you know, fell off, you know that in penalties,

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 5: you know, So you know, winning third downs is always

64
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 5: going to be for us a top priority because that

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 5: limits possessions and limits points. You know, so that's always

66
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 5: going to be important for us to pressure quarterbacks and

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: to win third downs.

68
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Now it's time to take a look at today's injury report.

69
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Tit end Greg Dolsich and outside linebacker Frank Clark did

70
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: not participate at practice today. Meanwhile, wide receiver Jerry Judy,

71
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: defensive tackle DJ Jones, and quarnerback Riley Moss were all

72
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: full participants. Now joining me on Broncos now is Washington

73
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Commander's senior writer Zach Selby to take a look at

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: this weekend's matchup from the Commander's perspective. Zach, how's it going?

75
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me today.

76
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's It's been a great week so far. One

77
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 6: thing that I love about the NFL season is that

78
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 6: it happens fast and slow the same time. So all

79
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 6: of a sudden, it's Thursday, but it feels like we're

80
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 6: going through a desert to get here. But that is

81
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 6: going to be my first trip to Denver. I was

82
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 6: really very very excited about that.

83
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well excited to have you here. How are

84
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: things just going over there in Virginia this week? House

85
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: practice been practice.

86
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 6: Has been pretty good, you know, it's obviously we're we're

87
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 6: now past the first game of the new regime with

88
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 6: Josh Harrison and a group of partners taking over the franchise.

89
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 6: Now it's more like, all right, we're just focusing on

90
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 6: football now. Now we're past all the the the first

91
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 6: of everything, and I mean practice has been it's been

92
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 6: weird because, yes, like the Commanders won on Sunday twenty

93
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 6: to sixteen, but nobody in that locker room on Sunday

94
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 6: felt pleased at all with the way they performed. Everyone

95
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 6: was basically, yeah, we won, that's great, but we left

96
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 6: a lot of opportunities out in the field and we

97
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 6: could have done a lot.

98
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 7: Better than what we put out there.

99
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 6: And honestly, the practices practices in the locker room availabilities

100
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 6: have kind of echoed that as well, like they're not

101
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 6: resting on their laurels, which I think maybe sometimes like

102
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 6: this team would have done in previous years. And even

103
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 6: Charles Lennu said that, like, you know, there were there

104
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 6: were other teams that he's been on with Washington where

105
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 6: they might have been ecstatic about getting that win last

106
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 6: week and then just kind of carry them on minium over.

107
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 6: But now like they're they're saying, no, this is not

108
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 6: up to our standards. We can be better. And I

109
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 6: think I think from what I've seen in camp and

110
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 6: when I've seen last year practice, like they can definitely

111
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 6: be better. So I'm very interested to see what version

112
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 6: of Washington comes to Denver this weekend.

113
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know Commander's quarterback Sam Howell talk this week

114
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: about that about some of the things he wants to

115
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: fix moving into week two. But looking at his week

116
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: one performance, Zach, what really impressed you about what he

117
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: was able to do out there that maybe this Broncos

118
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: defense should be on the lookout for.

119
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 6: Well, I think there are a couple of things. I

120
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 6: think generally, the bounce back ability I think is a

121
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 6: pretty big key for him. That's something that Ron Rivera

122
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 6: and Air the Enemy I have talked about a lot.

123
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 6: And you saw the negatives of being a second year

124
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 6: quarterback in his second career. Start right, You had the interception,

125
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 6: the ugly thumb strip sack that was returned for a touchdown.

126
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 7: Neither of those are great, but he didn't really let

127
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 7: it rattle him.

128
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 6: And you know, we were talking to some people in

129
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 6: the lockerom afterwards and we asked them like, hey, what

130
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 6: did he do after these mistakes and he was based that.

131
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 6: They were like, yeah, okay, you know that's fine, which

132
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 6: they all love. They all love his ability to just

133
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 6: kind of put the pass behind him and just look

134
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 6: forward to the next drive. But in terms of what

135
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 6: he does on the field, I've always really been impressed

136
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 6: with his ball placement. You know, he puts the ball

137
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 6: in a lot of areas where only the receiver can

138
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 6: make that catch. And there was a really nice across

139
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 6: the field pass to Cole Turner that was exactly where

140
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 6: it needed to be, which was had pretty good coverage

141
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 6: on it. You know, I think his chemistry was his

142
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 6: receiver so far has been pretty good. We haven't been

143
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 6: too much of that from Terry yet just because he's

144
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 6: dealing with the turf toe, but him and Johan have

145
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 6: really developed quite a rapport and he saw a little

146
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 6: bit of that on Sunday. So I think his ability

147
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 6: to look past his mistakes, his ability to scramble also,

148
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 6: I think is pretty impressive. Plus his ability to build

149
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 6: a report versus with receivers he hasn't really worked that

150
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 6: much with has really stood out to me. That's well,

151
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 6: I think pretty highly about what he could be somewhere

152
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 6: down the road.

153
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: Well, I know, samhow you know he was sacked six

154
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: times in week one, So how do you think that

155
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: the commanders are going to really look to address that

156
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: this week because I know that Bronco's defense really wants

157
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: to work on their pass rush.

158
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 7: Yeah.

159
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I mean those six acts have been quite

160
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 6: a topic of discussion. In fact, I have a story

161
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 6: coming out about about those six acts in general. Like

162
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 6: and you know a lot of people will say that

163
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 6: the offensive line was the cause of that, which isn't

164
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 6: really the case. It's it's kind of when the sacks

165
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 6: are that high, it's always on a variety from people

166
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 6: saying how it took a couple of the credit for

167
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 6: a couple of those, and there was one on the

168
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 6: off the line, there was a slide protection that didn't

169
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 6: go the way that they should have. But there was

170
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 6: another play where U Sadique Charles are left guard basically

171
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 6: trip because he got caught up in a play with

172
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 6: with Brian Robinson and that led to getting a sack.

173
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 6: But you know, I think this this defense, this depen

174
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 6: line for Denver is obviously a big step up from

175
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 6: what they saw in Arizona. I mean, yeah, Arizona had

176
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 6: the effort, but not so the talent and match that

177
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 6: Denver has both. And I think it's it's gonna be

178
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 6: quite a challenge to see how they react to it.

179
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 6: And you know, I really think that the offfosite line

180
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 6: is better than what people are given them credit for

181
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 6: for Washington, but I think they really want to match that.

182
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 6: They really have to play well against the defensive line

183
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 6: of Denver that is very hungry to to show how

184
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 6: good they really are for sure.

185
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Well, I know head coach Sean Payan talked about the

186
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: Commander's defensive front this week. He said, they're just really

187
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: active in the run game. They're athletic. I mean, they're

188
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: a handfuls. So can you just talk about some of

189
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: those guys upfront for you guys and what makes them

190
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: such a dominant unit?

191
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, honestly, they were probably the number one

192
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 6: reason why the Commanders were able to pull back from

193
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 6: being down sixteen to ten on the closing second third quarter.

194
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 7: And the biggest thing.

195
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 6: About them is yet we've all known that they're talented, right,

196
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 6: I Mean, we have four first rounders, Like, there's no

197
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 6: way they're not talented. But the thing is like they're

198
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 6: actually all starting to work cohesively together. And you saw

199
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 6: that a little bit of that in previous years. Year

200
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 6: two is kind of the biggest regression from that where

201
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 6: they were all sort of not paying too much to

202
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 6: their run discipline and if there being in their wrestlings

203
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 6: as much as they should. Now they're all playing as

204
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 6: a concrete unit. When you have players that are that

205
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 6: talented playing all together, it creates a lot of problems

206
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 6: for a lot of offensive linemen. And I think you know,

207
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 6: the biggest the biggest player who did who played the

208
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 6: most the well the most importantly is is is Montese

209
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 6: Sweat who I mean had toot to two forced fumbles there,

210
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 6: a sac and a half five tackles. I mean, the

211
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 6: biggest thing with him is that, you know, we've the

212
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 6: Jack Devey has always been trying to tell his his look,

213
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 6: we need you to finish, we need you to get there,

214
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 6: we need you to finish plays. And you're finally seeing

215
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 6: that from Montese what you saw from Deron Payin and

216
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 6: dothn All in the years past. But now Montest what

217
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 6: is finished in the place, which is big for him

218
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 6: because he's always been there. He's always been a very

219
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 6: talented rusher, but he hasn't had the sacks to match

220
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 6: the quarterbacks hits of the pressures.

221
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 7: Now he started to get that and.

222
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 6: With the contrary coming up for him. I mean that's

223
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 6: that he's playing very motivated. I mean you can tell that,

224
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 6: and it's it's very impressive to watch.

225
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 3: What he can do.

226
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they'll definitely be a challenge for this

227
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: offensive line. On Sunday, Zach, I know Commander's head coach

228
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: ron Rivera talked about Champagne's offenses this week, just.

229
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 6: That they're really diverse.

230
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, hes A utilizes a lot of his playmakers

231
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: really well. So, like you mentioned before, I know, the

232
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: Commander's defense are coming off a really dominant performance. But

233
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: how do you think they'll approach this week in this

234
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: game plan.

235
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I'm still sort of watching the film

236
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 6: from from where they played the Raiders last week, and

237
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 6: mea right, Ronald has a lot of respect for what

238
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 6: Seampagne has done. I looked back at their their records

239
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 6: together and well, while Champaigne does have a one game

240
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 6: advantage over him, you know on Saints, they most of

241
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 6: their matchups were decided by like eight points or viewers.

242
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 6: So this is gonna be very competitive, and it looks

243
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 6: like they're gonna they're gonna rely on you know, uh

244
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 6: knowledge of a system that uses a lot of you know,

245
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 6: running backs, a lot of play action, a lot a

246
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 6: lot of you know, getting the ball out to your

247
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 6: to your best players. And you know, I know with

248
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 6: Jerry Judy out last week, they did the best of

249
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 6: what they could. You know, some I JP around, a

250
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 6: guy that Washington fans know pretty well. He had some

251
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 6: really good moments, uh, you know that running game in general.

252
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 6: I think my thought was looked pretty impressive to me.

253
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 6: And I know adult is being out as as a

254
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 6: big blow, but I mean I think Russe Wilson is

255
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 6: still going to use his tight ends a lot, and I.

256
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 7: Think that this defense has the secondary to match that.

257
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 6: I mean, we'd have Cam Curle who was so versatile

258
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 6: and being able to play against tight ends like that,

259
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 6: I think you had you feel pretty confident baster your

260
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 6: matchups with them. They also have a lot of speed

261
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 6: on the outside of Emmanuel Forbes and Benjamin Saint. Jud

262
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 6: just has the size of quickness to match up against

263
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 6: some of these these slot options. I think I think

264
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 6: they're gonna come into the thing they're gonna be. They're

265
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 6: gonna they're gonna play hoose to the line of screen,

266
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 6: but also be aware of the fact that they can

267
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 6: make big plays down Pip because Russell Wilson still has

268
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 6: the arm to do so. But again, like I I

269
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 6: think I think Washington is going into them for feeling

270
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 6: pretty good about what they can accomplish.

271
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: Last one here for you, Zach. You know, I know

272
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: the Commanders have lost the three straight road games, so

273
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: the Broncos here in Denver, you know, as they continued

274
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: to prepare for this road trip, kind of mentioned this earlier,

275
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: but what's been the feeling of the vibe around around

276
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: the team in the locker room?

277
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, I'll even say further, like they've

278
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 6: only won twice in their in their all time series

279
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 6: with at Denver, so like.

280
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 7: That get to them. Yeah. Yeah, I've been galting to

281
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 7: gainst to a lot of people there. But yeah, I

282
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 7: think I think they're going into it thinking that. Yeah.

283
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 6: Like again, like we said earlier, like yes, they won

284
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 6: and they're all happy that they won.

285
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 7: They're going into this, They're going into this thing.

286
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: You are.

287
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 7: This is the next level of competence.

288
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 6: That were going to be facing, and I really do

289
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 6: believe that they they think they they think they've got

290
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 6: a chance for sure, but they all acknowledge like, hey,

291
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 6: we need to play better because the twenty six twenty

292
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 6: to sixteen effort we gave against the Arizona Cardinals is

293
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 6: not going to be good enough to be the Denver Broncos.

294
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 6: Who are you know, parentally in playoff contention all the

295
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 6: time with that really good defense they have. Now Russell

296
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 6: Wilson finally starting to show a little bit of what

297
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 6: he was whenever he's with Seattle. So yeah, I think

298
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 6: they're going into it realizing that. Yeah, like they they're

299
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 6: building some momentum, but they're not quite there yet, and

300
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 6: I think they view it as another measuring stip stick

301
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 6: for them to show how good they can actually be.

302
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: Sure well excited for the matchup this weekend. Z I

303
