You know, guys 18 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: lead in their own ways. Obviously, you know the veteran 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: players vote on these guys, and generally speaking, your better 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 3: teams are are our player led teams. You know, your 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 3: average teams are coach led teams, and your four teams 22 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 3: really have no leadership. 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: So I think it's important safety. 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: Justin Simmons added to that and discussed what it means 25 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: to be named a captain for another year. 26 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 4: It means everything you know to be able to be 27 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 4: named captain with your peers, you know, a year and 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 4: a year out, it means a lot. So I don't 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 4: take that lightly. You know it comes with the heavy burden, 30 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 4: but one that you know all the captains will equally share. 31 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 5: And excited for the season. 32 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: And as the season opener is now just four days away, 33 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: head coach Sean Payin talked today about how he feels 34 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: at this point in the week and about his team. 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: It's not uncommon when the season starts to you know, 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: you're anxious to see what you have. You know, you 37 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: haven't played a full game with your starters. You've been 38 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: in the preseason. You know there's a handful of guys 39 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: that are new here, coaches and players, And I would 40 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: always say it was these first the first quarter pole 41 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: of the season. You're in a sprint to improve and 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: make corrections and so you know, we're trying throughout this 43 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 3: week to hit on everything that can come up with 44 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: the younger players. Ball security, it's different than the colleges 45 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 3: they played at. You know, how the ball is attacked 46 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 3: defensively here is much more aggressive and so you know, 47 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: trying to head off some of these things that over 48 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 3: time you've seen from experience, so that it's not a 49 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 3: traumatic event that's forcing us to Now it's a game 50 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: with mistakes, it's not without mistakes, but you know it's 51 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: important for us to have a clean plan where guys 52 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 3: are playing fast and you know, those are the things 53 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: that I draw on, you know, as you get ready 54 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: to start a season with a new team. 55 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: Plus quarterback Russell Wilson in a safety Justin Simmons talked 56 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: about getting off to a faster start this year and 57 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: how important that will be. 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 6: I think every game matters, you know, no matter if 59 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 6: it's the beginning or end of the season. But I 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 6: do believe that, Yeah, you always want to start fast. 61 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 6: I think obviously playing in front of our fans here, 62 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 6: you know, Broncos Country, what a what an opportunity we 63 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 6: have to obviously set the tone, you know, to go 64 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 6: up against the Raiders. A lot of history here between 65 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 6: these two teams, and we gotta we got to create 66 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 6: a new history by by playing one game and just 67 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 6: one in that game and trying to do everything we 68 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 6: can with that. And I think the best thing that 69 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 6: we can do is be ready to battle and be 70 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 6: ready to fight. It's gonna be a long game. It's 71 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 6: going to be back and forth, and uh, you know, 72 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 6: there's gonna be a lot of energy and emotion and 73 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 6: everything else. And the team that can, you know, whether 74 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 6: the storm I'm. 75 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: Not, it matters more now because it's it's here right 76 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 4: like this is week one and twenty twenty three and 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 4: you know it's the Raiders out here. So we had 78 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 4: a way to start off one and know in our 79 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 4: division one on in the AFC, just want to know 80 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 4: at home protecting home court. So got to be able 81 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: to do that. 82 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson also talked about how he's a different quarterback 83 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: now and how he's changed from the start of last season. 84 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 6: Every year, there's there's things that you go through. There's 85 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 6: things great things, there's challenges, there's new things, there's life 86 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 6: changes and everything else. Obviously, moving here was a gift 87 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 6: to be able to be with such a great organization 88 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 6: obviously coming from another great organization in Seattle too as well, 89 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 6: you know, amazing ten years there. Obviously, last year wasn't 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 6: what we wanted it. So I think the biggest thing 91 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 6: is is go out on the field and just doing it, 92 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 6: doing what we know how to do and playing at 93 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 6: the highest level, winning football games and enjoying the process 94 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 6: and respecting the process. Continue to drive every day, push 95 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 6: every day, you know, be in the best shape I 96 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 6: can possibly be in my life, you know, you know, 97 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 6: every day. And mentally I think too, you know, mentally 98 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 6: knowing that there's always ups and downs and enjoying that 99 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 6: part of the journey, knowing that I'm gonna come out 100 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 6: on the other side of it all and we're going 101 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 6: to do that together, and we're all going to battle together. 102 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 6: And it's just beginning of the journey. And every year, 103 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 6: you know, it's every year, the goal is to win 104 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 6: the whole thing, just to be honest with you and 105 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 6: uh and so anytime you're you're you're you're not in first, 106 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 6: you feel like you're last. So we just got to 107 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 6: come out here and play a great game. It's got 108 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 6: a long journey ahead of us and we're all going 109 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 6: to do it together. 110 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: Last, but not least, here's a look at today's injury report. 111 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: Titan Greg Dulcich did not participate. Wide receiver Jerry Judy, 112 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: tight end Chris Manhertz, in quarterback Riley Moss. 113 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: We're all limited. 114 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: Now. I joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio 115 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: to take a closer look at today's news is fellow 116 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: team reporter Phil Malaney. 117 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: Phil, thanks for joining me. I'm Broncos now again. 118 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 5: Always a pleasure, Thank you very much. 119 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 2: We're back to our weekly Phil shows. 120 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, Wednesdays. 121 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: I know Wednesdays. 122 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 5: I love the rhythm of the season. You know, it's 123 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 5: a long stretch of months here covering the team, but 124 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 5: I love you, Okay, you know what each day is 125 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 5: all about? 126 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: One hundred Yeah, Well, Phil, today we learned who the 127 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: captains are for this season, Justin Simmons, Courtlandton, Mike mcglinchy, 128 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: of course, Russell Wilson, Kareem Jackson, and Riley Dixon. 129 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: Like a good group. I feel like no surprise is 130 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 2: there most definitely. 131 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 5: I mean I think that your quarterback is your natural leader. 132 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 5: That makes sense there, and Cortland Sutton has really developed 133 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 5: into that leader out on the team. You know, just 134 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 5: that hard to believe that he's sort of a veteran 135 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 5: now now, but he's really that mature guy out there, 136 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 5: and he's been through so much in his career it 137 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 5: makes sense. And then obviously Mike mcglinchy, you know, you 138 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 5: could really you know, people call him Senator McGlinchey for 139 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 5: a reason, you know, so personable, has just a way 140 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 5: that he carries himself that makes you feel like he's 141 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 5: a natural fit for a captain. And then the two Safeties, 142 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 5: I mean, those guys really are running the group there, 143 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 5: you know. PS two maybe could have been a captain there, 144 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 5: but he's sort of a little more of a quiet 145 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 5: kind of guy and lead by example, you know, but 146 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 5: I think that eventually he'll be a captain. But makes 147 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 5: sense for the old sage in Kjack and then Justin 148 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 5: Simmons so vocal, and then really with special teams, Riley 149 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 5: is really the guy who just makes the most sense. 150 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 5: They're just you know, Will Lutz has just joined the team, 151 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 5: so probably didn't make sense for him to be a 152 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 5: captain just yet, and so Riley is the guy there definitely. 153 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Phil, now there were just a few days 154 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: away from the season opener. It was kind of interesting 155 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: to hear Sean Payton talk about how it's not really 156 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: uncommon to kind of feel anxiety, feel anxious at this 157 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: time of the season because you have really no idea 158 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: you know what you're going to get on Sunday. You're 159 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: anxious to see how the team does as well. 160 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 5: He was talking about the Raiders, you know, and the 161 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 5: change there with Jimmy g and everything, and then saying, look, 162 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 5: the more the changes come in, their staff changes, the 163 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: coordinator changes or coach changes, so at least from the 164 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 5: Raiders perspective, not too much change other than their quarterback 165 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 5: being you there. But yeah, I kind of feel that 166 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 5: anxiety anyboes around here, just because you're never quite sure 167 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 5: how it's all going to click together. 168 00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: Right. 169 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 5: But of course, with Sean Payton, one of the things 170 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 5: that's so special about him is his ability to game plan, 171 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 5: his ability to call the perfect play to keep the 172 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 5: defense off balance. You know, this is what he's known for. 173 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 5: In this preseason, you don't do that. So now that 174 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 5: it's game time and the games matter this week, they're 175 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 5: doing the game planning and they're going over specific schemes. 176 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: We're going to. 177 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 5: Get really our first look at what this thing looks 178 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 5: like and how the Broncos are going to try to 179 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 5: attack different things, and how are they going to put 180 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 5: Russell Wilson in the best position for him to succeed. 181 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 5: You know, Sean was even talking about that again today. 182 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: You know, you don't try to fix Russell Wilson, you 183 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 5: try to find him. It's something that Chris collins or said, 184 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 5: I guess in the media and Sean a great he said, look, 185 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 5: you got to put him in the best position to 186 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 5: succeed and let him do what he does best. And 187 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 5: so you know, in the preseason you don't really unveil 188 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 5: all that, you don't show all your secrets. So now 189 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 5: we're going to get at least a little bit of 190 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 5: a taste of that. 191 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it certainly feels different this week, obviously being 192 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: a game week, but there is a certain no focus 193 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: in the building intensity. I know, Justin Simmons said, there's 194 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: a different intensity in the building this week. 195 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 5: Well you really want to know, like, hey, what's going 196 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 5: on with Jerry Judy. Is hes gonna be able to players? 197 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 5: So then you know, Champagne maybe in the past would 198 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 5: maybe give a little bit more about an injury, but 199 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 5: today he was just like he's limiting. That's that's it. 200 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 5: That's all you're going to get out of him. Because look, 201 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 5: if Jerry can go or not, that's going to change 202 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 5: things for how the Raiders prep. So you got to 203 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 5: be locked in when you're talking about that and just say, look, 204 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 5: here's what the injury report says. That's all we're giving you. 205 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 5: So yes, it is uh, it's time to really hone 206 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 5: in and lock in. And I like that change in 207 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 5: the feel in the building too. You know this is serious. 208 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 2: Now seasons starting, Yeah, and you. 209 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 5: Know, like giving off to a hot start. I think 210 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 5: it's going to be important for this team ultimately. Sure, 211 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 5: you know, I think it builds confidence, it builds by in. 212 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 5: You know, hey, what we're doing with that training camp 213 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 5: we just went through, that was all worth it because look, 214 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 5: here are the results. That's gonna be big for this 215 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 5: Broncos team. 216 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: Definitely. So you mentioned Jerry Judy. 217 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: He was of course limited at practice like you said, 218 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: So we'll see kind of how that progresses as the 219 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: week goes on. But you know, we heard Sean Payn 220 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: and Justin Simmons talk about Marvin Mims today, How do 221 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: you have to really see him step up? 222 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 5: Gosh, she's a mature young man. He just us talking 223 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 5: to him in the media. You know, it doesn't really 224 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 5: seem like anything's too big. Like he's just a really 225 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 5: a lot of confidence, you know, and making that big 226 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 5: play in the preseason game a couple of weeks ago, 227 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 5: you could see what he can bring to the table, 228 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 5: a little bit of a different dynamic than like a 229 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 5: Corland Sutton or Brandon Johnson or even Jerry Judy, you know. So, 230 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 5: uh yeah, he's gonna be and started into a big role. 231 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 5: If Jerry Judy camp go all of a sudden, You're 232 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 5: not like, Hey, I'm the fifth guy around here. I'm 233 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 5: just gonna make the most of my specific plays. I'm 234 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 5: in there. No, You're gonna have to contribute now, and 235 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 5: I think he's ready for it. I mean, it really 236 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 5: seems like after getting over that little injury to start, 237 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 5: you know, where he wasn't able to do all the 238 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: things out of practice, now he's like really in there 239 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 5: doing everything and they might have to rely on him 240 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 5: big time come Sunday. 241 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: Definitely another guy that Sean Payton talked about too. 242 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: Is Javonte Williams, you know, hasn't really put a snapcount 243 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: on him or how much he'll really play on Sunday, 244 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: but says he's going to have a really big role. 245 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are. 246 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: Interested to see kind of, you know, how much he 247 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: plays and kind of with that one two punch between 248 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: him and Samanja Lookali. 249 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,599 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know for Joontae, obviously it's going to 250 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 5: be emotional going back up against the Raiders where yeah, 251 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 5: you know that's the team where he got hurt. Good point, 252 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 5: So I think there's a little bit of emotion there, 253 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 5: a little bit of emotion just returning anyway, emotional because 254 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 5: it's the season opener. I can't wait to feel the 255 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 5: vibe in that stadium because it's going to be rocking. 256 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: You know. 257 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 5: It does feel like people are excited about the Broncos. 258 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 5: You know, even though last year obviously didn't go the 259 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 5: way that everybody wanted it to, it does seem like 260 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 5: Sean Payton's brought a new energy, you know, where people say, 261 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 5: all right, things are gonna be different. Now. There's sort 262 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 5: of that feel and yeah, I'm excited to see what 263 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 5: that what that's gonna be like and for Javonte, we 264 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 5: know that Champagne likes to use the running backs, and 265 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 5: you know, we know he's gonna have a big role 266 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 5: running the ball, catching the ball in the screen game, 267 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 5: you know, and then obviously needing to protect Russ. So yeah, 268 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 5: I'm excited to see Javonte out there. I think the 269 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 5: biggest thing with him is, let's just be smart. It's 270 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 5: a long season, seventeen games. We need you now and 271 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 5: we need you in December, and so let's try to 272 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 5: stay healthy. Let's be smart about things. If you're starting 273 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 5: to feel anything, don't push it. And and just know, hey, 274 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 5: there's two other really good running backs right behind you, 275 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 5: you know, and so a Jay's gonna is more than 276 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 5: capable of carrying the load. And then excited to see 277 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 5: what Joliel does too, the kind you know, he's got 278 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 5: that extra gear. We've seen it in the preseason. Now 279 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 5: let's see it against the you know, the starters from 280 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 5: the other side, and let's see it for a longer 281 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 5: period of time in a game. I can't wait to 282 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 5: just see what this whole squad looks like. 283 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, Phil, As you know, you know, there's 284 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: a ton of history between the Broncos and the Raiders, 285 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: and unfortunately the Broncos have lost six straight to the Raiders. 286 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: But I liked what Russell Wilson said today about it. 287 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: He said, it's time to start knew his new history. 288 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, but then quickly he was like, but just one game. Yeah, yeah, 289 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 5: he kind of caught himself there, but yeah, I agree. 290 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 5: You know, interesting just talking about the rivalry this week, 291 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 5: and of course Monday, Champagne said, look, Rovalies, that's more 292 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 5: of a college thing, right, but this is a big 293 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 5: game because it's a division opponent. You know, I wonder 294 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 5: if he was trying to make it so that there's 295 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 5: not as much pressure. You know, whenever Sean says something 296 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 5: like that, I always sort of say, Okay, well why 297 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 5: did he say that? And you know, maybe that's because 298 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: he wants to just take a little bit of pressure 299 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 5: off the team and not make it bigger than it is, 300 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 5: you know, because it's already a big game. But from 301 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 5: a fans perspective, you know, hey, it's the Raiders. You know, 302 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 5: you don't like seeing these guys. They've happen a won 303 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 5: six in a row. Everybody pays attention to that Chiefs 304 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 5: number obviously because that's gotten out of hand. But the 305 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 5: Raiders quietly here. Even the last two Broncos victories have 306 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 5: been by one point each, Yeah, in a series, so 307 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 5: you know those were two close games that the Broncos 308 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 5: happened to win. So yeah, Derek Carr has gone, you know, 309 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 5: so maybe that changes a little bit of it because 310 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 5: seeing him back there, he always he had a knack 311 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 5: for getting rid of the ball so fast. You know, 312 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 5: that kind of made you frustrated as a fan. And 313 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 5: it'll have a different feel with Jimmy g But still 314 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 5: it's the Raiders. It's a silver and black. You don't 315 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 5: like these guys. They play physical, you know, they got 316 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 5: some big guys. These games always are a little edgy, 317 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 5: and so I definitely think that there is a rivalry 318 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 5: there between these two teams. Maybe it's not what it 319 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 5: was back when our friends Steed was playing you know where. 320 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 5: You know, you're playing on a baseball diamond and there's 321 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 5: blood everywhere. It's not quite like that, but it's still 322 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 5: it's a domatic game and it's still the Raiders and 323 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 5: you don't like them. 324 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Broncos will look to snap that streak here 325 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: in just a few days. 326 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, exciting stuff. Yes, Phil, thanks for coming on. 327 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: Thanks Ed, appreciate it, and Broncos fans don't forget.
