1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back inside Center a Health Training Center

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: for another episode.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: Of Broncos Now.

4
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: As always, I'm your host, Sidney Jones, and coming up

5
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: on today's episode, the team hits the road to head

6
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: to Chicago tomorrow, so we'll hear from head coach Sean

7
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Payn and take a look at this week's A final

8
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: injury report. All that more coming up. Broncos are back

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: on the road tomorrow. As I said, to face the

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears this Sunday. We heard from head coach Sean

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: Payne today for the final time ahead of Sunday's A matchup,

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: and he discussed how the team will look to respond.

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 3: Man, I thought we had one of our better weeks.

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: I thought the energy was good. Look, you pick yourself up.

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: This is a grit leg that there's you know, the

16
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: toughness required, and so I thought, I thought well.

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: And he went on to talk about the work the

18
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: team put in this week.

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 3: I think you got to use your gut relative to

20
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 3: what they need. And you know that began Monday with

21
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: the team meeting and then at practice. I felt real

22
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: good about the energy this week. But I can remember

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 3: we were four and one playing Detroit and they had

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 3: kind of had one of those streaks from the year before,

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: and I don't know how many games, but we were

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: a heavy favorite, and he had us all convinced by

27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 3: Friday we were playing the eighty five Bears. I mean

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: like you couldn't get to the game fast enough. So

29
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: I think you trust your instincts relative to your team

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 3: and where you're.

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: At ed goat.

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: Sean Payn also talked about the leaders on this team

33
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: and how he saw them step up.

34
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: We had great culture for years and then fourteen fifteen,

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: you know, it got sideways and then so it's a

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: little bit like a garden. You've got to be tending

37
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 3: to it. But it really starts with, you know, bringing

38
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: in the right guys and then and then you know,

39
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: the really good teams end up leading themselves, and we're

40
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 3: in that transition of you know, finding it.

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: So now it's time to take a look at this

42
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: week's final injury report. Outside linebacker Frank Clark, inside linebacker

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: Josie Jewel, and defensive tackle Mike Purcell all did not

44
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: participate at practice today.

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: And are ruled out for Sunday's game.

46
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, safety Justin Simmons also did not participate at practice

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: today but is listed as questionable. Now joining me here

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: inside the Broncos podcast studio for a game preview is

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: Broncos lead writer Eric Dala.

50
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: Eric, thanks for joining me on this Friday.

51
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: Got it so we both got the blue memo?

52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: We do. We're matching. I love it well. Eric.

53
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: We heard head coach On Payton say earlier in the

54
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: show that you know, this was one of the better

55
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: weeks of practice for this team.

56
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: He said the energy was really good this week.

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: You know, a great way to finish off the week

58
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: is the team heads to Chicago tomorrow. Yeah.

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: I think his point about toughness and grit and how

60
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: you respond is is well taken, and that's what this

61
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: team is going to have to do. You're oh and

62
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: three or not where you want to be. How do

63
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: you respond? How do you bounce back? How do you

64
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: parlay some of this positive energy from the week into

65
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: getting a win against a Bears team that's also desperate

66
00:02:59,440 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 4: for a win.

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric, we just finished looking at the injury report,

68
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: so you know, let's start there, starting with safety Justin Simmons.

69
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: You know, we saw him as a limited participant throughout

70
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: the full week, except today he did not participate in practice.

71
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: You know, given the fact that there's been so many.

72
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: Injuries at the safety position, what does this mean heading

73
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: into Sunday's game as he's listened as questionable.

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we'll have to see what happens. Right,

75
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 4: still listen as questionable, So there's a chance. You don't

76
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: ever like to see a guy be limited and then

77
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: go backwards in terms of participation but still still questionable

78
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 4: on the injury report. Obviously, this team is better with

79
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 4: Justin Simmons out there, and we heard Vance Joseph on

80
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 4: Thursday say that he would kind of help some communication

81
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: be ironed out at all three levels, So you hope

82
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: to have him out there. If not, you've still got

83
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: Cream Jackson obviously, and then you know, maybe Dlaryn Turner

84
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: y'all takes a step forward from last week, you know,

85
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: saying Bassie remains an option. I would imagine back there,

86
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 4: the team did not make Jail Skinner active, did not

87
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: elevate Devon Key from the practice squad, so maybe they

88
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: consider one of those moves as well if Justin Simmons

89
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: cannot go. But i'd imagine if Justin Simmons can't play,

90
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: you'd probably go with a similar plan to last week,

91
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: just hope that the execution is a little bit better.

92
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: Well, we saw that inside bidebacker Josie Jewel and a

93
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Mike Purcell. They are out for Sunday's game.

94
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: So what's kind of the plan there for those positions?

95
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Mike Purcell obviously, guy that's rotating in

96
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: giving you some snapstre on the defensive line. Probably just

97
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: have to count on a younger guy maybe in an

98
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 4: Elijah Garcia. Maybe have to to just load the box

99
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: a little bit more. We'll have to see what the

100
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: Broncos defensive plan is there. Obviously, you got to stop

101
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 4: the run first when it comes to the Bears, and

102
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: that's going to fall into linebackers as well. I mean

103
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 4: Drew Sanders. It sounds like it is going to be

104
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 4: the guy that goes in place of Josie Jewel. Sean

105
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: Payton kind of said he'd earned that right that they've

106
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: seen it from him in the preseason. Time for him

107
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 4: to take a step forward and get a bigger opportunity.

108
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: But it's going to take that front seven playing well,

109
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 4: being true to their gaps and then you know, playing

110
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 4: with gap integrity in order to make sure that justin

111
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: Fields doesn't take off, because, as we heard Cheon Payton

112
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 4: say Friday, he can turn a third and eight into

113
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: a twenty two to twenty five yard game and all

114
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: of a sudden they're in scoring range or they've got

115
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 4: a first down or something like that. So we'll fall

116
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 4: on a couple of reserve players to help make sure

117
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: that happens on Sunday for sure.

118
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: Well taken with the defense here, Eric, you know, in

119
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: what ways do you really just hope to see this

120
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: unit take a step forward this weekend? Yeah?

121
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you want to see Miami aside, right,

122
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: because there was a lot that went wrong there. I

123
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 4: think when you look at the first two games, it's

124
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: about playing sound defense and making big plays and whether

125
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: that's you know, we saw that early in the Commander's

126
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: game of a timely sack. We saw it against the

127
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 4: Raiders in terms of an end zone interception. You know,

128
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: obviously it would be great if this team came out

129
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: and just shut down Chicago, and that could certainly happen,

130
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 4: But I think the logical step is just be you know,

131
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 4: set the edge better tacklers, be solid in your fundamentals,

132
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 4: and then just make big plays here or there, and

133
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 4: you don't have to be perfect, but just can you

134
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: get you know, a strip sack, can you get an interception?

135
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: Can you make a big tackle for loss on third down?

136
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 4: Or bat a pass down or you know, get a

137
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: just a normal sack? You know, can can you do

138
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: those sorts of things that can help change the game

139
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 4: or give the offense a short field or an opportunity. Again,

140
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 4: you don't have to go out there and shut them out,

141
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: but can you make kind of the play in the

142
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: moment when you need to make it. That's what this

143
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 4: team the first two weeks was kind of missing, right.

144
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: It's just both offensively and defensively. Can you make that

145
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: one game altering play when it matters? And so that's

146
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 4: what I'll be looking for against Chicago. I mean, justin

147
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 4: fields is he you know, he can still move around.

148
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 4: He's a good quarterback. He and if, like I said before,

149
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: if you're not true to your gaps or don't set

150
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 4: the edge or aren't tight enough in your rush, he'll

151
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 4: take off and make you look silly and just be

152
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 4: down the field in a flash. We saw what he

153
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 4: did last year obviously, so many times where he'd break

154
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 4: free of the pocket and run for a long touchdown.

155
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: You don't want to be the guys that let him

156
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 4: do that. So yeah, defensively, just just try to play

157
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: solid and fundamental football and then make the big plays

158
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: when they're available.

159
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: We're switch into the offense here.

160
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: You know, Russell Wilson, he's put up some good numbers

161
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: throughout the first three weeks, and I know we heard

162
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: head coach Don payon talk this week just about you know,

163
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: his decision making and you know the fact that he's

164
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: moving well, he's operating quickly throwing the ball. Well, what

165
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: are your expectations for him this week as he continues

166
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: to build off these performances.

167
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, russ Is, He's obviously not been the

168
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 4: problem at all. He's played I think good football. The

169
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: decision making has been good. Obvisually a couple of plays

170
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: you'd like to have back here or there, but for

171
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: the most part, he's given guys chances to make plays.

172
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: I thought now Miami game, he made a great play

173
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: to escape to his right and throw out to Courland

174
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: Sutton for a touchdown. On another play, he again found

175
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: Sudden and Sudden wasn't able to hold on, but it

176
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: was another great play by Russell. We've seen the touch

177
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: with the deep ball. You know it can still probably

178
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: get to the line of scrimmage a little bit faster

179
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: and eliminate some of those mistakes. You know that that

180
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: would have wiped out at least one penalty there against Miami.

181
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: But listen, he's playing well. I expect him to continue

182
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 4: to play well. He's clearly comfortable in Sean Payton's system.

183
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: Sean Payton's putt him in position to do things well.

184
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: Can you find more success in the second half. That's important, obviously,

185
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 4: and really just at three games at this point, I

186
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: think it's still too soon to start a narrative that, oh,

187
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: this is a first half team instead of a second

188
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: half team. I do it more as this team can

189
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: be explosive in bursts there, but certainly being able to

190
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: play more consistently, and this might be a chance for

191
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson to really open things up, throw the ball

192
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: down the field, complete a lot of passes. The Bears.

193
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: I think they ruled out three defensive backs this week,

194
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: so I'm including safety Eddie Jackson, who we know, you know,

195
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: former All Pro, really good football players, So this could

196
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 4: be a chance here for Russell Wilson to have a

197
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: lot of success and maybe Marvin Mims, Jerry Judy, Courtland Sutton.

198
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: You could see those guys having a big game. I think, well, I.

199
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: Know had Coach Sean Payton also talked about how we

200
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: hope to see this run game get going, specifically in

201
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: the second half. You mentioned that, Eric, how do you

202
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: hope to see I guess just Javonte and s Madge

203
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: get the ball.

204
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's you know, some of it is

205
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: game dependent, right, If you're down, it's probably gonna make

206
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 4: you go away from the run game, which is what

207
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 4: happened this past week. There were very few possessions in

208
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: the Raiders game, so obviously that uh you know played

209
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 4: it played a role, played made an impact on that game.

210
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 4: And then certainly if you're behind the chains, it makes

211
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 4: them more difficult to run the football. I think though

212
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: this team is still committed to that as an identity.

213
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 4: We heard Sean Payton say, we want to look like

214
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: we did in that Raiders game. We were running the football,

215
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: wearing teams down. The Broncos didn't convert in the red

216
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 4: zone against the Raiders, but there was that one drive

217
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: toward the end where small JP ran started to build

218
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: on some carries you know, ends up I think a

219
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: twelve yarder all the way down inside the ten yard line.

220
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: That's what I think this team can do to teams,

221
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 4: and especially in the fourth quarter. And so you know,

222
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: is this the week it happens. I don't know. You might,

223
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 4: like I said, you might look at the opponent and say, hey,

224
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: we can really throw the ball around this weekend. But certainly,

225
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: I think big picture moving forward, this is a team

226
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: that still wants to rely on the run game. It's

227
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 4: going to set up play action, it can set up

228
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: the screen, set up those deep shots down the field.

229
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 4: I mean, everything starts with the run game and makes

230
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 4: teams if you run the football, well, you can't play

231
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 4: that shell coverage, so we saw in week one, and

232
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: so that's what's going to help this team. And Jamonte

233
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: has just looked stronger and stronger each week. He and

234
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: Samaji I think are playing off each other really well,

235
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: and I would expect that to continue. And certainly, you

236
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 4: hope late in this game you have a lead and

237
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: you can rely on those guys to kind of wind

238
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: the clock down and secure your first one of the year.

239
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: Going off that, Eric, the last question here for you.

240
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's been so much talk this week about

241
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: just how crucial a win would be for this team

242
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and you're given the fact that this team

243
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: has started the season zero to three. What do you

244
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: really think a win would mean for this team?

245
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one, and you know, I know it doesn't

246
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: sound like much, but we've heard Micha Leglinchi, We've heard

247
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 4: Sean Payton, Russell Wilson. All it takes is one that

248
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: starts a streak, and you know, maybe you find something

249
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 4: you can build off, maybe you find something that becomes

250
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 4: your identity, that gives you some some momentum, some hope,

251
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: some faith moving forward, some belief, all those things I

252
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 4: think can come from from one victory. And you know,

253
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 4: there's a lot of goals out there that this team has.

254
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: And hopefully the Broncos get back to a point where

255
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 4: they're in playoff contention and they can talk about those

256
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 4: sorts of things. You know, Sean Payton's I think twenty

257
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 4: and seven team in New Orleans started oh and four,

258
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: made its way back to four and four and kind

259
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 4: of got themselves back in that conversation. But before you

260
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 4: can let's not start owing for we don't want to

261
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 4: do that, But before you can get to that point,

262
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 4: you've got to take that first step. And I think

263
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: that's part of learning to win and learning to be.

264
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: You know, a good football team is not look overlooking

265
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: any opponent. Sean talked on Friday about I think you know,

266
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: at one point in his career, they're preparing to play

267
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: alliance team that lost a lot of football games. He said,

268
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 4: Bill Parcells had them thinking that they were poised to

269
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 4: play the eighty five Bears, and so you've got to

270
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: have that mindset all the time. But yeah, there's no

271
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 4: doubt a win gets a bad taste out of your mouth.

272
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 4: It puts you on the right track or at a

273
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 4: more successful season, and you never know what it could

274
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,119
Speaker 4: kick start. But again, you've got to start with one.

275
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully we'll see that this Sunday or I appreciate
