Steve, how are we 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: doing today? 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: Wonderful? See it? How are you? 13 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing good, right, Steve. We're going to start off 14 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: the show today with some fan questions. We had a 15 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: couple of fans submit them. You're on Twitter today. First one, 16 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: how could the Broncos pass rush bounce back against the 17 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: Commanders this week? As we know you know last weekend 18 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: versus the Raiders, they didn't record a single sack. 19 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't have any sacks. 20 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: But I thought the primary focus for the defense was 21 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: and should have been and stopping to run, and they 22 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: did an excellent job of that. 23 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: Uh. 24 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 3: You know, Kep keeping jobs Jacobs under one hundred yards there, 25 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 3: But yeah, we want to get that pass rush going, 26 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 3: and I'm sure they will, they'll get it going. But again, Jimmy, 27 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 3: he was also getting that ball out super quickly, you know, 28 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 3: and he knew exactly where he wanted to go with 29 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 3: the ball too, So you know, he's a pretty intelligent quarterback. 30 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: He's running the system that. 31 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 3: You know, he knows well, he's he's he was in 32 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: that system prior to him going to San Francisco, so 33 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 3: he knew where he was going with the ball. And 34 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 3: and they made some plays. You got to give the 35 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: Raiders credit. They made some plays when they had to, 36 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: and uh, we got to do a better job defensively 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: coming up with some of those plays. So it won't 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: won't shine the light on that on that on the 39 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: lack of pressure, because I think we'll we'll have our 40 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: fair share of those over over the course of the season. 41 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: But uh, this I just think I don't think this 42 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: was a game where that was the focus for sure. 43 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you mentioned the defense was able to 44 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: hold Josh Jacobs. The game plan going into Sunday's game 45 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: was to stop their key playmakers. I mean, DeVante Adams, 46 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, and they did a really good job with that. 47 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, they did that. 48 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 3: And you know, normally, when you take away the playmakers, 49 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 3: you you win the ball game. And that's every coaches 50 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: goal is to, Hey, we got to neutralize their playmakers. 51 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: And we did that. 52 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: But again, I said this on our post game show, 53 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: in those situations when things are going slow, it's kind 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: of back and forth. Somebody's got to make a play offensively, defensively, 55 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: special teams while somebody somebody's got to come up with 56 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 3: a big play. And and think people got to have 57 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 3: that in the back of their minds that hey, man, 58 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: this this play, this is my play. 59 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. 60 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 3: Uh, And that'll help get. 61 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: Us over the hum for sure. 62 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: Well, so you've sticking with the defense. Our next question 63 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: submitted by FAM this week is what adjustments can the 64 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: Broncos defense make this weekend going against you know, a 65 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: younger quarterback in this league. 66 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: Well, I think that. 67 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: With the type of offense that the Commanders run, will 68 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: get a chance to dialop some pressures on this quarterback, 69 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: a younger quarterback, second year in the league. He came in. 70 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 3: I thought he did a nice job last year. He 71 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: got some planning time last year. But we also have 72 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: to try and confuse them. You know, most of young quarterbacks. 73 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 3: You know, you can confuse them some by disguising the 74 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: defensive coverages and faking pressures when you're not pressuring, or 75 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: not showing the pressure when you're going to send pressure. 76 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: And we still have to do the thing that helped 77 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 3: us this past week. Although we didn't win the game, 78 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: we got to stop the run. We got to stop it. 79 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: That's got to be our primary objective every game is 80 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 3: to stop the run, make them pass, and then take 81 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: away their best receivers. So I don't think the strategy 82 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: will change. It will change something just because he will 83 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 3: have more five step drops. You know, he's going to 84 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: try to chuck the ball down down the field of 85 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: some of their their playmakers mclauren and them, and so 86 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: we'll have have some opportunities to get to the quarterback. 87 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: I think. 88 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: All right, last fan submitted question here for you which 89 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: Bronc are you most excited to watch in week two? 90 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: And uh? In week two? 91 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: You know, Uh, it's a couple of guys, both Jonathan 92 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: Cooper and Nick Bonito, younger guys. I know the fans 93 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: being I know a ton about them, and Randy Gregory 94 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: and Frank Clark as well, but these two guys in 95 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 3: training camp, they just jump kind of jumped off the charts, 96 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 3: and again, I think that we're going to see a 97 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 3: little bit more pressure this week. So I'm super excited 98 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 3: to see those guys get to the quarterback and and 99 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 3: the speed that Nick Bonito hash and when he gets there, 100 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 3: he's coming with reckless and tension. So I'm looking forward 101 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 3: to seeing he and Jonathan Cooper. Jonathan Cooper had had 102 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 3: some type of hand injury last year and yeah, I 103 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: missed a significant amount of time. So he's back healthy. 104 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: He's he's raring to go too, so it should be exciting. 105 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 3: It should be exciting on the edge. 106 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. Broncos Country, thank you for submitting questions this week. 107 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: We'll be doing this every single Tuesday, so if you 108 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: have any questions for Steve, make sure to drop them 109 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: in our comment section, tweet at us whatever you can 110 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: to get to us so you've get him into the episode. 111 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: Now. 112 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: You know, when you look at the Broncos game Week 113 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: one versus the Raiders, I mean we've already talked about 114 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: the defense a lot, So let's shift gears to the offense. 115 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: I mean, it felt like the offense moved the ball 116 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: really well overwater. What did you just think about Russell's 117 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 1: performance to open this season. 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 3: I thought russ had a solid performance, and you know, 119 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 3: he used his legs when he had to, which he 120 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 3: didn't have to. I think he only had one one run, 121 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: but he sat in the pocket, he made good reads, 122 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 3: made really good decisions. 123 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 2: I didn't have the interceptions. Uh. 124 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: And again, they were moving the ball pretty well, and 125 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 3: they especially their first drive, they went right down well 126 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: unfortunately openand I'm sorry at Las Vegas they did that 127 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: to us. They drove down the field on us, and 128 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 3: then we came right back and drove right down the 129 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 3: field for a touchdown. So those are the types of 130 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: things you like to see, especially early in the season, 131 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: because that gives you something really solid to build upon, 132 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: just just knowing that, hey, we can put together a 133 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: long drive. That we did that in the first game, 134 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 3: so you know, second, third, fourth game, it should be 135 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 3: a gimme for sure. 136 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about those long drives, Steve. We 137 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: talked a lot about this on Monday during the podcast, 138 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: and I know had coached on. Payne addressed it in 139 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: his press conference because of those longer drives the offense 140 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: on the six possessions, I mean both the Broncos and 141 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders on the six possessions, that is very unusual. 142 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's very unusual. 143 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 3: And because there weren't the eternal overs either, the teams 144 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 3: just held on and you know, had sustained drives. And 145 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: I think that's really shows it to really fishing offenses. 146 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: And yeah, you know, defensively, I don't think you. 147 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: Can really say we had a terrible defensive game. They 148 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: just they played a smart offensive game and they were methodical. 149 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: They weren't taking a ton of risks, and we we 150 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: kind of played the same way. Uh. Now, I think 151 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: going forward we will take more chances. There will be 152 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: some balls, some deep balls thrown. You know, we didn't 153 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: see a ton of those, yeah this last week. But 154 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 3: you know that's part of Sean Payton's deal. He's going 155 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: to get that ball down the field and he's going 156 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: to score some points. So Roco stuntry, don't don't don't, 157 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: don't get upset. We're right where we want to be now. 158 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: We want to be one to know, right now. But uh, 159 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: in terms of I think the development of the team, 160 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: I think we're right where we want to be. 161 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: You mentioned it, Steve. You know, we didn't see a 162 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: lot of those explosive plays, you know, in week one, 163 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: and I know head coach Sean Payne contributed maybe some 164 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: of that to the absence of Jerry Judy and Greg Dolsage. 165 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: And we're still uncertain about Greg Dolcice's status as of 166 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: this moment right now. But looking ahead, who do you 167 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: really want to see step up? You know, RUSS needs 168 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: some more playmakers out there. 169 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. 170 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: And I think we have quite a few playmakers on 171 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: the team, and I think it's really a matter of 172 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: the numbers being called. You know, I think Brandon Johns 173 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: can make plays. I think Marvin Mahams can make plays. Also, 174 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: Philip dors Sat, the other receiver man. He's been looking 175 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 3: explosive at practice, you know, A former first round draft pick. 176 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: I think he has some skills and you know, some 177 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 3: some playmaking abilities, a. 178 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: Lot of a lot. 179 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 3: You know, I'm not sure how much he's left in 180 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: the tank. Something up in the tank there for this season, 181 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: So it's just a matter of dialing it up. And 182 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 3: you know who does Sean Payton want to want to 183 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 3: put the focus on. And I'm hoping Greg Dolcage is back. 184 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: If he's not, hey, somebody else got to step up. 185 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: You know. 186 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 3: Adam troupman, he had a couple of nice catches. 187 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: Will Jordan Humphrey Jordan humph for Yeah, that's right. 188 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny.

We 194 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 1: of course, you know, saw him exit Sunday's game with 195 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: that injury. No kind of word yet on what his 196 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: status is, but Steve looking at safety depth, I mean, 197 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: after Justin Simmons and Cream Jackson, you got Dlaren Turner, yell, 198 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: Jyl Skinner. 199 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: I know PJ. 200 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: Lock He's on injured reserve as well. He won't be 201 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: back for several weeks. So what do you like about 202 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: some of those younger guys. 203 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, also Devin Key, Yeah, he's a safety. I think 204 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: he was with the Chiefs maybe last year, but man 205 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 3: in the preseason and last preseason game, he played really well. 206 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 3: He was a physical guy, looks like he flies around 207 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: to the ball was in the right place. 208 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: So we have some options there. 209 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 3: Jael Skinner young guy I think has a ton of. 210 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: Potential as well. 211 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: And d Lauren Turner Yell, you know, he's he's was 212 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: flying around all during uh during training camp, So we 213 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 3: have some some bible options.
