40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,120

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: with how we approach many things around here. Is is

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: it you know, backed by some and so having a

43
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: facility like that where it's an all in one place

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: can only be to our benefit.

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: In other news, the Broncos were back out on the

46
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: practice field today following their Week nine bye week, and

47
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Pats er Tan talked about what he did during the

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: bye week and what it meant to give his body

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: a break.

50
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I say the bye week helps a lot because

51
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 3: you know, it helps us, you know, set back some

52
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: help us get you know, time to ourselves that we

53
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: don't get throughout the season, and it you know, it

54
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: gives us time to really rest our bodies and sort

55
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: of you know, just take some time to yourself and

56
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: enjoy yourself. So that's the biggest thing in.

57
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: The bye week.

58
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like everybody feels like rejuvenated. Obviously it

59
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: is a long season, but you know, to have that

60
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: bye week in the middle of season helps a lot

61
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: because we know the stretch that we have ahead going

62
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: further along the season. So I think having a bye

63
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: week in this particular time helps a lot.

64
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: And looking at to their Monday night game versus the Bills,

65
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: pats Ertan talked about what he's seen on tape from

66
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen and the challenge that offense presents.

67
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: I think he has all the intangibles, the tools he

68
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: makes every throwing the field, but I think one thing

69
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: that's very underrated in his game is his running ability.

70
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: You know, the way how he give his team second

71
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: chances on his feet and the way how he moves

72
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: around the field. I believe that's a very underrated part

73
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: of his game too, and it's something that we got

74
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: to hone in on his study on too.

75
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: Plus, Quinn Miners talked about the offensive line and how

76
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: they're taking on a physical identity.

77
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: Time of possession is huge, getting the snaps and you know, constantly,

78
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: you know, running the ball is a really big part

79
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 4: of this of this game in general, and so you know,

80
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 4: it allows us to keep continuing to build confidence, you know,

81
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: in between every single play as a group on the

82
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: O line, you know, we're talking about how the combos felt,

83
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: or hey, if he's doing this, let's do that. You know,

84
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: it's it's a constant game, you know, in the trenches,

85
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: and so it's it's been a lot of fun to

86
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: you know, to work through those together.

87
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Now, joining me here in.

88
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,240

104
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: looking back to when you were a player, Steve, how

105
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: important were these bye weeks, not only like physically on

106
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: your body, but mentally just to get away from the game.

107
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

108
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 6: I mean people have had this bye week on their

109
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 6: schedules since the season started. Yeah, because they knew that, hey,

110
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 6: by this week nine, week ten, Hey, we're going to

111
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: be exhausted for I know that's the case of the

112
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 6: players having played the preseason games and the regular season

113
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 6: games and all the practices, all the meetings. Get a

114
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 6: chance done one And I hear that Sean Payton, he

115
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 6: let the guys go like after Monday. Yeah, almost a

116
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 6: full week off. And I don't know if I ever

117
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 6: got that many days in advance, uh right at the

118
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 6: bye week. But I'm sure the guys enjoyed it, and

119
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 6: hopefully they got their minds right and they're ready to

120
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 6: come back and pick up where they left off.

121
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: You feel like thinking back to when you were players,

122
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: can you feel the difference on your body after a

123
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: week of of course, you know, not going through practice,

124
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: not having a game, like the soreness just kind of

125
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: goes away.

126
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 5: And the game.

127
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 6: Got a massage or I got a chiropractic treatment or something,

128
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 6: just to get just get all the kinks out and

129
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 6: get back to just a little bit more healthy because

130
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 6: you know, each game that you play, I think you

131
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 6: put that word and turn your body. You're a little

132
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 6: less healthy and a little more sore. And to have

133
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 6: a week to just kind of get all that out

134
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 6: of your system, I think it is awesome. So hopefully

135
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 6: the guys get stretched out, push ups, whatever you got

136
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 6: to do to make sure you don't lose anything that week.

137
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've a looking ahead second half of the season.

138
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: Here the Broncos have back to back primetime games Buffalo

139
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Monday night and then back here at home Sunday night

140
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: football versus the Vikings. You know, what kind of opportunity

141
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: do you think this really presents for the team, having

142
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: these primetime games and as they you know, continue to

143
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: build momentum off their previous couple wins.

144
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 5: It's a premium opportunity, you know.

145
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, everything that the guys have talked

146
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 6: about in training camp, the guys as coaches, everybody, they've

147
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 6: been talking about since training camp that they want to do,

148
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 6: it's right here, It's right within their grasp and they

149
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 6: controlled their own destiny, and it's very important that they

150
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 6: come back and pick up again, pick up where they

151
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 6: left off with the last game against the Chiefs, because

152
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 6: I thought they came out they played man ex extremely

153
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 6: physically on both sides of the ball and special teams.

154
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 6: They were flying around, they were physical, they knew their assignments. No,

155
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 6: not many penalties. It was really the best game that

156
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 6: I've seen this team. I've seen this team play in

157
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 6: the most physical game I've seen them play as well.

158
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: I agree, yes, Steve, you know looking ahead now that

159
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: we have Buffalo on Monday night. I know pasts Ertan

160
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: he talked a little bit earlier in this show, but

161
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: what have you seen just from Josh Allen Stefon Diggs.

162
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: That offense, that is going to be a challenge for

163
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense.

164
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, they they've always been a challenge ever since

165
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 6: Josh Shallow was drafted there. He's been a threat, those

166
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 6: great passes and he's a serious threat when he runs

167
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 6: the ball as well. And then once they got Diggs

168
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 6: as the receiver there, they've been a difficult to stop tandem.

169
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 6: And we've got to anticipate them being at their best

170
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 6: because when they're playing at their best, they're they're a

171
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 6: top five.

172
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 5: Football team in the league.

173
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 6: But again, I think, you know, if we can pick

174
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 6: up where we're left off at, I think we can

175
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 6: go up to Buffalo, man and really shocked the world.

176
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 6: And again it's right there within our grass. We just

177
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 6: got to go and take it. And it's not going

178
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 6: to be given to it.

179
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: You gotta take it, gotta take it.

180
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: Certainly a tough environment to play in up there in Buffalo,

181
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: especially in prime time.

182
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: Seve have you played up there before? Have you been

183
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: up Yeah?

184
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I got some good friends that played with

185
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 6: the Bills. Oh yeah, back in the day. And uh

186
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 6: I remember Tyrone braxaid he was sitting on the bench

187
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 6: who were you know, offense was on the field and

188
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 6: it snowed, and someone threw a snowball and like hit

189
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 6: him on his back and.

190
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: He was like one of the fans, Yes, through.

191
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 6: A snow hit him on his back and we were

192
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: laughing and it was all good.

193
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 5: They it wasn't really hurt, but they got us a tithet.

194
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't think it's going to snow on Monday.

195
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: It was it's going to be cold, but then I

196
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: don't think snow is in the forecast, so that's at

197
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: least good.

198
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 6: That's always good locals. It can drop, you know, six

199
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 6: seven inches in a heartbeat.

200
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Steve, you know, looking at that Monday night

201
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: game and kind of everything we've talked about, how big

202
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: do you think a win would be for this team

203
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: to try and go on a run here the next

204
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.

205
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 6: It's it's extremely important, just like last week's game, getting

206
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 6: the monkey off our back with the Kansas City Chiefs

207
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 6: having won as many games sixteen.

208
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: Games, was it?

209
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: Yep, sixteen games.

210
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 6: Broke that streak, and uh, you know, we again, we

211
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 6: got to come in with the right mentality that like

212
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 6: we're going into a fight like a heavyweight, you know

213
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 6: the heavyweight boxers coming out. You know, everybody's jumping, yelling,

214
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 6: and screaming, but he's focused. He's focused on the goal,

215
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 6: the task at hand, and that's the same way I

216
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 6: think these players need to be.

217
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: Got to be ready because it's going to be about it.

218
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 6: It's not going to be easy, but we've proven that

219
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 6: we can play with top tier team with top your teams.

220
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 5: We beat the Super Bowl cheap last year, and.

221
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 6: That should give should have given us a lot of confidence.

222
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 6: But at the same time, we can't we can't take

223
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 6: it for granted that it's going to be like it

224
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: was against the Chiefs. So we've got to be ready,

225
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 6: to be ready to play hard, just as hard as

226
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 6: we played against the Chiefs.

227
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: This game, well, it's still got a whole week to

228
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: prepare for that. Steven.

229

Speaker 6: growth down here has been tremendous. I think we have

249
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 6: a great, great space for it. And the Waldpinner ownership

250

Speaker 6: group and the minor league and leadership team, they've they've

251

Speaker 6: done an amazing job of Man, really, they're they're so

252
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,280

253
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,520

Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, you can tell that.

265
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: You know, this ownership group is really investing in the

266
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: players and the people in this organization. They want to

267
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,800

269
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 6: thousand extra square feed space. Uh, that's amazing. I think

Speaker 6: the guys right now. It's a beautiful facility as it is.

271
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,400

272
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 6: know they want everything to be the best. And I

273
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 6: love that they're providing that for the players and the

274
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 6: players in turn because I know mister Bolden he was

275
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 6: that same way when he was alive, and it just

276
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 6: made us appreciate everything just that much more and it

277
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 6: made us go out and play harder and just leave

278
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 6: it out there on the field when you know that

279
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 6: your ownership team just really cares about you.

280
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 5: So it's a beautiful thing.

281
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: I know this construction is supposed to be done ahead

282
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,720

283
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: Like you said, it'll be a few years, but it'll

284
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:41,760
