And 17 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 3: I felt like, you know, for the most part, we 18 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: had guys that there was there was a high buy 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: in factor as to what we were doing. Was there 20 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 3: frustration or disappointment, sure, but you know, you have to 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 3: have energy when you practice. You have to be able 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: to look closely and say hey, these these are these 23 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 3: are the things that are hurting us. And then you 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 3: have to have honest conversations when you're when you're correcting, 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 3: and honest conversations regarding the approach relative to us teaching. So, 26 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: you know, getting that come back when in Chicago was important. 27 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 3: Each one of these steps has been somewhat important, obviously, 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: and you've heard me say this before. You know that 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: confidence is only born out of demonstrated ability. It's not 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: you know, you're not. You can't say I'm confident or 31 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 3: I want to be confident. You know, you have to 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: achieve something and then there's confidence in that you can 33 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: do it again. So you know, it's it's it's you know, 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: finding the right group of players and and then and 35 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: then you got to roll up your sleeves a little 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 3: bit in this league. 37 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: Plus. 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: Inside linebacker Alex Singleton also spoke to the media today 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: and talked about the culture surrounding this team, how different 40 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: it is from last year, and how they really believe 41 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: in themselves. 42 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 4: I think last night was an example of you know, 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 4: a full team win. You know, I think you know, 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 4: over the last year and a half i've been here, 45 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: there there was a big culture change from a team 46 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 4: who was used to losing to a team who was 47 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 4: going to find a way to win. And I think 48 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 4: last night was a great example of us, you know, 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: kind of with momentum, swimming stuff happening, where there wasn't 50 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 4: that feeling on the sideline anymore of here we go again. 51 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 4: It was more of a we're going to go get 52 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 4: this thing done, and you could feel it. And in 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 4: that environment with that crowd, with the you know, eighty 54 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 4: people on our sideline, and you could feel that. You know, 55 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 4: I think that that is kind of a you know, 56 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 4: the team we are right now. 57 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: With Denver's defense recording four takeaways in Buffalo. Head coach 58 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: Sean Penn talk today about how critical the turnover margin 59 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: has been for this team's success. 60 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: It is significant. It's everything. I mean, it was the 61 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 3: difference last night, you know, our defensive takeaways, and honestly, 62 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: it'll be the key for us as we move forward, 63 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: you know, these next few weeks. It's just hard. The 64 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: margins in our leaguers are so close that if you're 65 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 3: let's say there's twelve possessions perteen on average, it might 66 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: be a little more or less. I get a takeaway 67 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: that means I have thirteen U of eleven. All right, 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 3: I get one more. I have fourteen US ten and 69 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: you just start doing that math. So we knew it 70 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: was going to be well, we knew it was going 71 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: to be real significant here. You know, Josh and Sean 72 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: together thirty three and one when they win the turnover battles. Now, 73 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: that's pretty significant thirty three and one. But fortunately for us, 74 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: we won that last night, and that had a lot 75 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: to do with not everything to do with us won 76 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: in the game. 77 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: Alex Singleton added to that, discussing how this team's really 78 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: put a focus on these takeaways. 79 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 4: We just continue to put more emphasis on turnovers. I 80 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 4: think that was kind of our Achilles heal. Even last 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 4: season here, we you know, we caused a lot of fumbles, 82 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 4: but we didn't get a lot of them. We you know, 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 4: we're in right positions to get picks. You know, we 84 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 4: didn't get a lot of them, a lot of those 85 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 4: little things, and even early in this season, but you know, 86 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you know, turnovers kind of you know, 87 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 4: people always talk about it, turnovers coming bunches, and so 88 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 4: you know, it's just started to click for us and Uh, yeah, 89 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: I would definitely say a lot, you know, especially when 90 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 4: the balls on the ground, it is definitely it's a 91 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 4: half luck thing, and it's a half you know, you 92 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: got to be willing to sacrifice your body, and I 93 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 4: could guarantee I'm willing to throw my body in any 94 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 4: pile before he ever does. 95 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: Coach also gave an evaluation of the offenses performance versus 96 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: Bills and how he hopes to clean some things up. 97 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 3: We're by no means at our sweet spot. I mean 98 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 3: I say that, yeah, you know, there's looking at the 99 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: film this morning, there's so many things we've got to 100 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: clean up and get better at now relative to this 101 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: team and relative to this offense and where we're at. 102 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: Each game can change a little, but you do have 103 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: to pay attention to how the game's unfolding. You know, 104 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: our third down numbers last night were outstanding when we 105 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 3: were south the seventh, But I mentioned you know that 106 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 3: first half and even a series or two in the 107 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: second halfs when all of a sudden we're minus with 108 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 3: a penalty. You know, we get into those third and 109 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: longs like any team, but so staying ahead of the 110 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 3: change and you know, being being efficient on first and 111 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: second down are critical. 112 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: Plus i'd coach and discussed the team's recent success and 113 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: how they're handling it. 114 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: Look, there's plenty to clean up. I mean, we just 115 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: watched the tape and you know, you get frustrated. Sometimes 116 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 3: you get frustrated with yourself because did I did I 117 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: not cover this well enough? Are we on the same page? 118 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 4: You know? 119 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: Do we need to cover this more? And then you know, 120 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 3: approach each week understanding that the work week, you know, 121 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: when we practice Thursday and Friday and Saturday and Saturday's 122 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: practice this week will be a little longer. That's where 123 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 3: you that's where you win the game. I mean, that's 124 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: where your preparation matters, so that when the game comes, 125 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: you've covered it. But I think there's a little bit 126 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 3: of a journey to that, and we do have veteran 127 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: players that that. Like I said that, the attention to 128 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: detail has been good, the focus has been good, you know, 129 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: but we still have a long way to go. 130 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: Now. Joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio for 131 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: a game recap is a fellow team reporter at Film 132 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: Malani Phil Thanks for joining me today Victory Tuesday. 133 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of energy I'm in right now, 134 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 5: so I'm happy to be here. 135 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: I know, a big win in primetime, you know, Bronco 136 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: snapped there, I believe seven game losing streak on Monday 137 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: Night football, and it was their first primetime road win since. 138 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, Yeah it feels like it. 139 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it has been forever. I feel like nine because 140 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: I feel like everyone else is. 141 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 5: I think the way that the game ended, too, there 142 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 5: was so much energy and excitement, like I think anytime, 143 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 5: like when the clock expires and you you just hit 144 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 5: a game winning play field goal. In this case, I 145 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 5: think there's just so much energy and excitement, you know, 146 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 5: and the way that they were all celebrating, and then 147 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 5: on the sidelines and in the locker room, you know 148 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 5: that energy, Uh, it's infectious. So I think all of 149 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 5: Denver has been really pumped up today. 150 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: I think so too. Were you on the edge of 151 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: your seat out here? 152 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 5: Phil? 153 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: That final minute was really yeah? 154 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 5: Well, I thought, okay, after the Bills scored, I thought, okay, 155 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 5: there's there's plenty enough time I'm for them to drive 156 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 5: down and get a field on range. 157 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 6: And then especially after the judy. 158 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 5: But then when I realized they didn't have any timeouts 159 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 5: and it was going to be sort of a quick 160 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 5: runout type of situation. I was like, Oh, that's kind 161 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 5: of a little different, you know. And then when he 162 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 5: missed it, I was like, oh my god, it's like deflating, 163 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 5: you know. But no, I think it's exciting. You know, 164 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 5: if you watch the Maning cast, Peyton was like, oh, 165 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 5: it felt like they're lost, you know, like but it 166 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 5: even Sean Payton in his press conference afterward, there was 167 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 5: sort of like a feel of like this should have 168 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 5: never been that close, you know, like the Broncos really 169 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 5: took it to the Bills. It felt like, certainly on 170 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 5: the defensive side, I mean, other than giving up some 171 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 5: yards on the ground there toward the end, they really 172 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 5: played a great game on defense, I thought. And you know, 173 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 5: if the offense had you know, hit on a couple 174 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 5: of different things, or like maybe weren't in as many 175 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 5: third and longs that kind of stuff, they could have 176 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 5: really made this a much larger game. 177 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, we heard from head coach On Payon earlier 178 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: in the show, him discussing that feel that you know 179 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: an offense. You know, there's still some things they want 180 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: to clean up, still, some things we're going to look 181 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: at there, but you know, before we get to that, 182 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: when I'll get some of the positive to I mean, 183 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: we saw vintage Russ back out there. 184 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he was running around of floiding defenders and 185 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 5: you certainly on the plate to Sutton. 186 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: Oh my god, Yeah, what an incredible catch. 187 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, that was really insane. 188 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 5: I mean those wide receivers like they have just such 189 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 5: a great knack for where the sideline is. 190 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, they just kind of know where their positioning is. 191 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 5: And Courtland is really I mean this is seven a 192 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 5: career year, seven touchdowns this season, a career high high 193 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 5: and there's still a plenty of season left to go here. 194 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 5: So really excited for Courtland. And you could see that 195 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 5: he put in that work this offseason, you know, and 196 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 5: he came in with a focus and he was in 197 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 5: really good shape coming into to camp. 198 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 6: And same with Russ. 199 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 5: I mean some of these plays where he's avoiding guys 200 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 5: like I'm not sure if he would have been able 201 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 5: to do that last year, but you know that's a 202 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 5: credit to him, the education that he had this offseason 203 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 5: to come back in this shape, you know. And yeah, 204 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 5: he looked like the guy that the Broncos thought they 205 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 5: were getting, I mean, the guy who can make those 206 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 5: plays on the second act. But also you know, after 207 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 5: Josh Allen scores that touchdown, you have a lot of 208 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 5: confidence that the Broncos are going to be able to 209 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 5: go down and get in field goal range. And even 210 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 5: the touchdown drive with Javonte there that was such a 211 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 5: massive drive was such a big point. You know, the 212 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 5: game is tied. To have that really long drive converted 213 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 5: on a bunch of third downs that was really impressive too. 214 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 5: So the Broncos were able to do it in a 215 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 5: variety of ways too, Like there weren't a lot of 216 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 5: big chunk plays, but they were able to those flips 217 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 5: to some I JP. 218 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 6: Ryn or like the screaming around. 219 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 5: Some really tough yardage by Javonte Williams on the ground, Like, 220 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 5: they did it in a lot of different ways, and 221 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 5: they were able to do just enough to get the victory. 222 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 6: Yeah. 223 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: I thought I was just going to say that about 224 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: Vonte Williams. I mean, really really physical runs by. 225 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 6: Oh thank god the whole game. 226 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: I'm sure he's feeling really sortid. 227 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, what twenty nine twenty nine carries somewhere. 228 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: Something like that. 229 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: In the twenties yeah. 230 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 5: In the twenties, seventy nine yards, maybe twenty one carries 231 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 5: for seventy. 232 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 2: Ninety or twenty one carries. 233 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for seventy nine yards, and none of them 234 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 5: were like huge. I think the longest running ad was 235 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 5: maybe like eleven yards something like that. So consistently really 236 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 5: pounding the ball on the bills there and that pays 237 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 5: dividends later in the game. And that drive in the 238 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 5: fourth quarter, you know, he made a couple of big plays, 239 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 5: got the first down in the red zone there and 240 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 5: then the soft hands to make that catch for the touchdowns. 241 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 5: So yeah, really a great game by Javante I thought. 242 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Phil looking at the defense, you know, I 243 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: know we've talked time and time and again about winning 244 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: the turnover battle. Rongos did that again. Yeah, four takeaways 245 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: for them two weeks nine and two weeks insane. They've 246 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: just been really incredible out there. 247 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think that that's a testament to 248 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 5: like just being around the ball and playing with a 249 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 5: certain amount of intensity, you know, that kind of thing. 250 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 5: Some of it, you know, like they Gabe Davis bounces 251 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 5: off his hands Justin's like right in the good spot there. 252 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 5: But some of It is just a mindset that you 253 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 5: play with, you know, and like Jaquan McMillan just ripping 254 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 5: that ball out like they're hungry for the ball, Alex 255 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 5: Singleton diving on the ball, you know, things like that. 256 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 5: I mean, the defense is playing with the right mindset 257 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 5: in order to create these takeaways. 258 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. You mentioned Kawan McMillan. I feel like he's 259 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: probably been one of the biggest surprises this year. 260 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, him and Fabian Moreau, both of them have been 261 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 5: really really great Christians that. 262 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 2: Have made big impacts. 263 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, later like sort of swap ins from week one, 264 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 5: you know. So, yes, those two guys have really made 265 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 5: a significant impact on the secondary And you know Moro's 266 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 5: pick that was a great play by him too. So yeah, 267 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 5: these guys have been playing really good football. 268 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: They have Phil overall. 269 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about this last week, We've talked 270 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: about this for a few weeks. Now that Lebroncos, you know, 271 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: have three straight wins here, what do you kind of 272 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: think this win overall just means for the season moving forward. 273 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 5: Well, I feel like it's a happy moment for the guys, 274 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 5: you know, Like I heard Justin Simmons in the locker room. 275 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 6: He was like, it just feels good. 276 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 5: To win, you know, And they've been on the wrong 277 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 5: side of a lot of these types of games, you know, 278 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 5: where they've played really hard, but for whatever reason at 279 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 5: the end, they couldn't win it. So for them to 280 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 5: have won this one, you feel good for the locker room. 281 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 5: They get to celebrate a victory, and you know, they 282 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 5: stayed in Buffalo overnight and then the flight back. I'm like, 283 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 5: I'm sure that it's been a really a great like 284 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 5: a bonding time and like team building, and like for 285 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 5: them to just be able to enjoy this victory, you know, 286 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 5: I think that it's well deserved. And then just for 287 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 5: the larger picture for this team, it does feel like 288 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 5: the way they've played, certainly the last two weeks, that 289 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 5: maybe they've turned a little bit of a corner. Like 290 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 5: there's a toughness to this team now, there's like a 291 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 5: sort of a confidence that they're able to go out 292 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 5: there and play with and you know, that's something that 293 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 5: this coaching staff has been building. You know, I said 294 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 5: this on the Neutral Zone earlier, but like just when 295 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 5: I was driving here today, I was thinking, gosh, like 296 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 5: if they would have just beaten the Raiders or like, oh, 297 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 5: if they would have just you know, got that one 298 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 5: against the Jets or something, you know, then they would really. 299 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 6: Be in a really great spot. 300 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think that those moments were really crucial 301 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 5: in order to build where the Broncos are now. Like 302 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 5: those tough moments, they've been able to like sort of 303 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 5: make this team harder, you know, and like able to 304 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 5: win some of these games now because they've went through that. 305 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 5: And so it does feel like this seems different, you know, 306 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 5: like there is a sort of a just something's better 307 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 5: about this team, like the confidence and the you know, 308 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 5: it's kind of like they built a house with bricks 309 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 5: type of thing, you know. 310 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 6: And I think you. 311 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: Said it best earlier. You know, there's just a different 312 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: mind set out there. You can see it in the 313 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: way that they play. 314 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. 315 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 5: So to me, it's much more than just like three 316 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 5: games that they happen to win who have won. It 317 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 5: does feel like this is a different team now, and like, 318 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 5: you know, like Champagne's talking about the way that they 319 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 5: practice and stuff during the week and then translating to 320 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 5: the games. 321 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 6: You know, there's something. 322 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 5: That's happened with this team over the last several last 323 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 5: month years that they've really got gotten things turned around 324 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 5: a little bit, and it seems like things are heading 325 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 5: in a positive direction for this team right now, I 326 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 5: think so. 327 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: I think so too exciting stuff here Phil another primetime 328 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: game on a Sunday, too, Viking. 329 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 5: So I think they've won five games in a row. 330 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 5: Going to be a tough one back at home though, 331 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 5: two weeks in a row now with I think the 332 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 5: Browns are after that. But I think you just want 333 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 5: to see this team continue to build off of what 334 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 5: they've been able to do and you know. 335 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: Leaning up some of those things that they're talking about. 336 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was nice that they did this in prime 337 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 5: time because it kind of showed the rest of the 338 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 5: country like, hey, this Broncos team is better than you think, 339 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 5: because I think most people they think just about that 340 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 5: Miami game or something. 341 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 6: This is a. 342 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 5: Totally different team.
