00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: host is Sidney Jones, and coming up on today's episode

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: of Broncos Now, we'll hear from head coach Nathaniel Hackett

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: as he gives the final injury report ahead of the

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Broncos Week twelve matchup versus the Panthers. Plus Broncos lead

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: writer Eric Delala joins the show for a game preview.

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: All that and more coming up. Broncos hit the road

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: tomorrow as they're set to face the Carolina Panthers at

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: Bank of America Stadium this Sunday. The team was back

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: at practice today after taking thanks Giving off, and head

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: coach Nathaniel Hackett said they got some great work in.

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: They were great. It was really great to see we

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: got all our work in done early. Um, kind of

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: it's more of a stress on the coaches because you know,

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: we want to try to get all this stuff in,

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: all the game plan stuff in. But the coaches, I thought,

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: did a great job. We got a good plan in

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: and they have that opportunity for people to be with

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: their families. I think is so important, which I It

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: also gave the final injury report today ahead of Sunday's game.

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: Coachacket ruled out wide receiver kJ Hamler, defensive lineman Jonathan Harris,

24
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: receiver Jerry Judy and cornerback Kawan Williams, and fullback and

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: tight end Andrew beck An outside linebacker Jacob Martin were

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: listed as questionable. Coachacket discussed what it will mean to

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: be without Judy and Handler for the second week in

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: a row. Those guys are both very talented players, you know,

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: we we we want them out there when we can

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: get them healthy and get him out there for that um,

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: but we've got the guys that are ready to go

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: and ready to rock, so we want to be sure

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: that we're able to attack with those guys as well. Now,

34
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio is Broncos

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: lead writer Eric Dlala. Eric, thanks for joining me here

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: on this Friday. How much of Thanksgiving? That was really nice? Hid?

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Yours mine was nice as well. It was nice to

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: have the day off. Thanks to coachack It for that.

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate it well. Eric. We just heard from Coachack it,

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, him discussing the impact of being without Jerry

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: Judy and kJ Hamler again this again. So I want

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: to know what are yourr thoughts on, you know, some

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: of the younger receivers who've really stepped up and how

44
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: do you hope to see them really improve here on Sunday? Yeah,

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, as Lebroncos trying to figure things

46
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: out on offense. Obviously they've got a new play caller

47
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: and Clint Kobiak, who called plays for the first time

48
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: last week, another week under his belt working with Russell,

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: I think should should do some good there. Um, but

50
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: it's difficult to not have kJ Hamler, to not have

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, because those guys coming into the season where

52
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: two of your top four receivers obviously they really haven't

53
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: played since that Jacksonville game before the bye, and so

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're you're now counting on Kendall Hinton

55
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: to step up. He's going back to his home state. Um,

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: excited to play in front a bunch of family and

57
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: friends that have not seen him play in a long time. Uh,

58
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: he's done a nice job. You've got Brandon Johnson who

59
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos he was probably on pace and on track

60
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: to make the active roster before he got I think

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: an ankle injury there in the final preseason game. He's

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: back now, Um, you'd like to see him get a

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: little bit more involved. He's obviously a physical receiver. Um,

64
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe you kind of in that seem mold as Tim Patrick.

65
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: So you hope you can get him a little bit involved.

66
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: And then Jalen Virgil's speed, I think, even if he's

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: not targeted, can he just open up the field a

68
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: little bit for Russell Wilson. Um. But listen, you're asking

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys because for as you know,

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: as much potential as they may have, as hard as

71
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: they're working, um, they're not a Jerry Judy necessarily, and

72
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: so you've got to compensate in other ways. You need

73
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: a big game from Courtland Sutton. You need to find

74
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: a way to get back to Greg dolcichum to get

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: this passing game going, and then hope that the guys

76
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: around those two, whether it's Kendall, whether it's Brandon Johnson,

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: whether it's Jilon Virgil or somebody else, you know, maybe

78
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: they can do enough to kind of fill in around him. Yeah,

79
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Eric you mentioned, you know, Clint Kubiak, this being his

80
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: second game as a play caller, what do you really

81
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: hope to see your what adjustments do you hope to

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: see from this offense? As you know, we heard this

83
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: week from Russell Wilson, he said, one of the main

84
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: reasons they've been struggling this season is really the third quarter.

85
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they're specifically, yeah, the third quarter. They've just got

86
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: to find a way to stay on the field. Um.

87
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Obviously maybe avoid some of these third longs. Um. But

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I don't know, if it's a lack

89
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: of intensity coming out of the locker room, or if

90
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: you're changing things up, or the halftime adjustments are just

91
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: not quite setting in yet. The Broncos have not had

92
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: a lot of success. Actually, it's funny. The Broncos have

93
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: deferred or you know, the other team team has chosen

94
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: to receive, So the Broncos have gotten the second half kickoff,

95
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: I believe all but one of their games, and that

96
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: one game is the one where they went down and

97
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown in the third quarter. And so

98
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you think a little bit about, hey,

99
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: do we get the ball to start the game, and

100
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: then see switch it up and see, hey, does you

101
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: know maybe the defense can get us some better field positions.

102
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: So instead of starting at the twenty five to start

103
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: the second half, maybe you're at the thirty five or

104
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: the forty, or maybe get a turnover. I mean, maybe

105
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: it's worth kind of exploring that option and something is

106
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: some change. They're good for this offense um, But yeah,

107
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: I think with Clint kob back in his second week,

108
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 1: cong plays will be a little more comfortable. With Russell Wilson,

109
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: we'll have a little bit better few for what they're

110
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish. Will know some of these guys from

111
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: a personnel standpoint in terms of what works what doesn't.

112
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: And listen, they were efficient obviously in that first half.

113
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: They scored ten points and if it weren't for a

114
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: fumble and a block field goal there on the last drive,

115
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: you're probably looking at seventeen points, and that of course

116
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: would be a season high in the first half, which

117
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: is not great in and of itself, but um, it

118
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: speaks to some of the success they had early. So

119
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: hopefully they can just a little more comfortable maintain that

120
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: rhythm they found early. I liked how they kind of

121
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: mixed up formations, um, and so hopefully we see a

122
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: little more of that against the Panthers. Eric. Looking at

123
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers, specifically their defense, I feel like they've kind

124
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: have been flying under the radar a little bit. You know,

125
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: last week they held Lamar Jackson to just one touchdown

126
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: thirteen points total. What do you what does this Broncos

127
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: offense really need to look for this weekend in facing them? Yeah,

128
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: they have been pretty good here recently. Obviously, you get

129
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: Jeremy Chin back in the secondary, really good safety and

130
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: Water's nephew, I believe so. So you've got to Derek

131
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Brown there on the defensive line. Um, they've got some

132
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: good players, you know. Obviously Brian Burns on the edge,

133
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: he's probably the guy you've got to look out for

134
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: most and just find a way to block him. With

135
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: this offensive line that's ever changing for the Broncos. But um,

136
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: get the run game going, protect Russell Wilson, find some

137
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: chunk plays here and there, stay on the field, avoid

138
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: third and long. I mean, it's not unique to the

139
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: Panthers necessarily, but the Broncos just need to find a way,

140
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: um to to get this formula that we know can

141
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: work to get it going and and do it consistently,

142
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: because I think if there's one thing about this Broncos

143
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: offense is that for the most part, and there's some

144
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: games where this isn't true, but they haven't been inept

145
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: for the entire game. There's been flashes here and there

146
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: where they've driven the ball well or they scored a

147
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: touchdown um, but they've got to find a way to

148
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: do it more consistently. And listen, it's possible. Sam Donald

149
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: gives the Panthers and Panther's offensive sparks, So you can't

150
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: just assume that you're gonna come in here and be

151
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: able to win a low scoring game. You've gotta be

152
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: able to put up points against this Panthers defense. Yeah, Eric,

153
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned Sam Donald. As we know, the Panthers have

154
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: kind of had a revolving door at the quarterback position

155
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: this season. He hasn't played yet this season, but we'll

156
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: be making his uh season debut on Sunday. What kind

157
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: of threat do you think he'll pose, maybe for the

158
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Broncos defense. Yeah, I mean I think back to Gosh,

159
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: I guess it was when the Broncos played the Jets

160
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: in New York and Sam Donald took off for a

161
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: really long run. I think he might have him Murphy

162
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: scored on the player if it was just a long one.

163
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he he is a threat with his legs.

164
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: He can take off and run. He's a big guy,

165
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: so he's hard to bring down in sack um. So

166
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos have to fluster him with pressure. And then

167
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: he does have a tendency to throw interceptions to give

168
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: you a chance to make a play on the ball.

169
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: And so the Broncos you've got to take advantage of

170
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: those opportunities. I think back to Week ten against the Titans,

171
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: where the Broncos had two or three chances to pick

172
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: off Tannehill and they weren't able to do it. You know,

173
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I think a couple went through Kareem's Jackson's hands. So

174
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: when you have this margin for air right out with

175
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: the way the offense is playing, you've got to take

176
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: advantage and give them every little bit of help that

177
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: you can. And so if Sam Donald throws one up

178
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: or he makes a mistake, you've got to capitalize, uh,

179
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: And you've got to take advantage. And then he takes

180
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: off running, you've got to get a couple of different

181
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: guys to the ball because he is a physical player.

182
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: Looking at this game as a whole, what do you

183
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: really think? So who do you thinks the matchup to

184
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: watch this weekend? I'm just interested to see how Pats

185
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: are Tan bounces back. Um obviously kind of the first

186
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: adversity he's really faced all season and um, pretty much

187
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: in his career. I mean, we haven't seen him kind

188
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: of tested the way he was against the Raiders and

189
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: really kind of beaten the way he was on that

190
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: last play against the Raiders. We said all week, no

191
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: one said, no one. Criticism is going to bother certain

192
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: as much as his own thoughts of that play. And

193
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: so I'm sure he's motivated to get back out there

194
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: and play better. Tough lesson to learn, but probably a

195
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: good one ultimately in terms of when to be aggressive

196
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: and when not too. So, you know, if he's going

197
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: up against t. J. Moore, somebody else on the field

198
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: interested to see how he responds. And obviously J. C.

199
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: Horn for the Panthers is out there taking one pick,

200
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: but before Pats or Tan Um, you know, it's crazy.

201
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: For all all we talked about pats ertainity wasn't even

202
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: the first cornerback taken in that draft. So interested to

203
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: see those two guys on the field. Obviously not against

204
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: each other, but just kind of a matchup where you

205
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: can see, you know, which which guy is the one

206
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: that was maybe deserving of being picked first. Hey, I

207
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: kind of forgot about that, all right. Well, Eric Glass

208
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: one here for you. Who do you really want to

209
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: see step up this weekend, whether that's on offense or defense? Yeah, specifically, Yeah,

210
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: that's a good question. Um, I'll go on offense just

211
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: because somebody needs to make a play. I'll go back

212
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: to Greg dolcych Um. He obviously had a couple of

213
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: big games early. I had that Chargers touchdown and then

214
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: played really well against the Jaguars. You know, maybe teams

215
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: are taking him out of it a little bit, but

216
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: I think you need to capitalize on the chances down

217
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: the field. Um, and he's a guy that can do that.

218
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: So hopefully he's able to take a step forward here

219
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: show he's kind of the mismatch problem that the Broncos

220
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: hoped he would be, because it does seem like when

221
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: he's rolling, he's a guy that it's hard to defend

222
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: because he's too fast for that linebacker. He's too big

223
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: for a corner if they're on him, and so he's

224
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: kind of a unique player in terms of what he's

225
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: able to do. I think the Broncos need to get

226
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: him involved a little bit more. All right, before we go,

227
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: what's your prediction? So, yeah, I will say nineteen for

228
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos fourteen for the Panthers. Kind of a weird score.

229
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it'll be a weird game.

230
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: The Broncos have been in weird games all season long.

231
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that I'll change. This is

232
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: a good defense that the Broncos are going against, and

233
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: they don't have two of their better playmakers who are

234
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: still you know, at least available, and so I do

235
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: think it'll be kind of a grinded out game. But

236
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, I said the last few weeks and it

237
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: feels like they've got to get a win here. I

238
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: think they do get a win, but of course, in

239
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Bronco's fashion, it will still be a one possession game.

240
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Well figures, crossly, do get the win, come home with

241
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: the win. Eric, appreciate your or time today and you're

242
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: inside always Yeah, of course, all right, that'll do it
