3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: Of Broncos Now.

4
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: As always, ere your host Sidney Jones, and coming up

5
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: on today's episode, the Broncos continue to prepare for their

6
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: season opener, so we'll hear from cornerback Patser Tan as

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: he discusses his rematch first Davante Adams. Wide receiver Jerry

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Judy talks about his.

9
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: Hamstring and how he's feeling all that more coming up.

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Broncos are now just three days away from their season

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: opener as the Las Vegas Raiders, and one of the

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: main storylines heading into this matchup is the highly anticipated

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: rematch of cornerback Patser Tan and wide receiver Davante Adams.

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: We heard from Patser Tan earlier today regarding it and

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: how he's going to approach it on Sunday.

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: I know what I do on the field, so you know,

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: I just try to let those things go in the

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: fast period of time. Because football, you know, one player

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: could change a game, you know what I mean, if

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: you focus on the previous players of the past plays,

21
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: it could affect your game. So you know, you just

22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: got to move on with it.

23
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Defense coordinator As Joseph added to that by discussing how

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: the team is going to look to slow down wide

25
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: receiver Devonte Adams and Raiders running back Josh Jacobs.

26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. You know, he's a good back, you know, and

27
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 4: obviously good players make plays, but you have to make

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: a you know, a real effort to get him stopped.

29
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: That's that's where it starts in my opinion. You know,

30
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 4: if the running games working, they can dictate you know,

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 4: dn DS along with seventeen, you know, and when you

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 4: have a runner like that and a receiver that's you know,

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 4: a top you know, top two or three guy who's dominant,

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: it's tough to get both things stopped. So you have

35
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: to commit, you know, to one thing and another and

36
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 4: go for it.

37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Plus, he discussed what he's anticipating to see this weekend

38
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: from a Raiders quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo.

39
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 4: That's the challenge. Obviously, you know, we hadn't seen Jimmy

40
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 4: play a lot of snaps with the Raiders, but you know,

41
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: obviously Josh been according for a long time. I faced

42
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: Josh probably, you know, almost ten times, so that that

43
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: won't be a problem. But what he's doing with Jimmy

44
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: g You know, I don't know. Obviously he started with

45
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: Josh in New England. I played against those guys when

46
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: he was there as a young So we'll see. You know, obviously,

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: every year is different, every offense is different. You kind

48
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: of do what your players do best, not just Jimmy.

49
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: You know the runner, you get the runner, You got

50
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: receivers that had a new guy. So you know, we'll

51
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 4: see what happens on Sunday, but I'm not sure you

52
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: know what it's going to look like.

53
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: Pottertan also talked about Jimmy Garoppolo and discussed what he's

54
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: seen from him on tape.

55
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing with a new quarterback. Obviously they're

56
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: gonna try to implement some of the things he does

57
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: well into the offense. And yeah, I watched a lot

58
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: of film, especially our game against them last year, because

59
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: you know, our defense was I want to say all similar,

60
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: but some of it is similar to the defense we

61
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: ran last year. So just looking at that film helps

62
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: a lot.

63
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 5: As well too.

64
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: We also heard from offensive corneader Joe Lombardi today and

65
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: he discussed Raiders defensive end Max Crosby and how they're

66
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: going to look to stop him.

67
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a dangerous player, disruptive, consistently disruptive, and so

68
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 6: I think every every player that we put in the

69
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 6: game plan, we think about know who's got to block

70
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 6: him or how we're affecting him. And uh so he's

71
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 6: definitely a problem that you know, consumes a lot of

72
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 6: our energy.

73
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: During the week, plus he gave an update on wide

74
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: receiver jury Judy and discuss how we thinks he'll be

75
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: back sooner than later.

76
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 6: I guess the when you first saw it happen, you know,

77
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 6: we we all certainly had a sinking feeling, and then

78
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 6: when we got the initial reports it it maybe didn't

79
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 6: sound as bad as as maybe we thought it was

80
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 6: going to be. So didn't know. I still don't know,

81
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 6: you know, when he's going to be back, but I

82
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 6: think certainly sooner rather than later compared to maybe what

83
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 6: we thought when we first saw the injury.

84
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: We're also back inside the locker room falling practice today

85
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: as we heard from wide receiver Jury Judy and outside

86
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: linebacker Frank Clark. Jerry Judy discussed his hamstring injury and

87
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: talked about what his status might be for Sunday's game.

88
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 7: At the moment, I was just like, it don't hurt.

89
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 7: So I thought it was hurting me. I was like,

90
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 7: I can't walk. I'm just geting his car so I

91
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 7: can make it easy to more faster. You know, I

92
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 7: was really thinking about too much of it. Just once

93
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 7: I got damn arih. You know, it made me feel

94
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 7: a little bit more better. I just gotta, I mean,

95
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 7: consistently didn't feel good throughout throughout practice, every day. Just

96
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 7: keep getting better and better. As long as I feel

97
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 7: good on Sunday, we see what happened.

98
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: And outside linebacker Frank Clark spoke on opening this season

99
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: versus divisional opponent and what he's seen from the younger

100
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: guys in his realm.

101
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 8: Divisional importance are the most important games in the NFL. Obviously,

102
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 8: if you win your division, you going you have a

103
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 8: chance to win the conference.

104
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,000

Speaker 8: own destiny. You know, you're able to go ahead and say, well, damn,

114
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,080

115
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 8: and defense, we got a out of a great quarterback

116
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 8: leading leading away defense, our dbs and stuff in the secondary,

117
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 8: We're gonna have all the time in the world to

118
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 8: rush the past or I see, got the best corner

119
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 8: in the world, the best safety in the world, and

120
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 8: we got some great linebackers.

121
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: Now it's time to take a look at today's injury report.

122

Speaker 1: Chris Manhertz. We're all limited, while tight end Greg Dolcich

124
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: was a full participant today. Now joining me on today's

125
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: episode of Broncos Now to take a look at this

126
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: weekend's matchup. From the Raiders perspective is Las Vegas Raiders

127
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: digital reporter Levi Edwards.

128
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: Levi, thanks for joining the show today.

129
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me, Sidney, I really appreciate it.

130
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 2: How are things going down there in Las Vegas?

131
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 9: Things are hot, you know, it's hot out here in

132
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 9: the desert as always, but other than that things are

133
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 9: going pretty good.

134
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 5: Everything's everything's going smooth. We're excited for another season.

135
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Feels like most of the conversation surrounding this week is

136
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: about running back Josh Jacobs. We of course know how

137
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: dynamic of a player he is here in Denver, he

138
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: is seven and zero in his career versus the Broncos.

139
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: But Levi, as you know, he'll be coming to the

140
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: Mile High City without any conditioning, without a training camp.

141
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: So what has he kind of said in regards to

142
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: that leading up to this game.

143
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 9: Well, we all know what Josh Jacobs can do in

144
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 9: the city of Denver and Mile High.

145
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 5: He's averaged one hundred.

146
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 9: And three yards a game just rushing alone in the

147
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 9: time that he's played Denver in seven games, so that's ridiculous.

148
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 9: He's averaging close to two touchdowns a game against the

149
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 9: Broncos as well. So things are a little different because

150
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 9: he missed a large majority of training camp came in

151
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 9: about a week ago, and so he's still trying to

152
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 9: get caught up to speed, not necessarily from a physical

153
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 9: conditioning perspective. He still looks in shape. He did what

154
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 9: he was supposed to do while he was gone to

155
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 9: make sure that he was still you know, very conditioned,

156
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 9: very you know, in shape. I think the big thing

157
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 9: is him, you know, continuing to learn and adjust to

158
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 9: some of the small changes that have been made in

159
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 9: the offense that he may have not known about that

160
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 9: he's still trying to catch it up on. So I

161
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 9: think that's going to be a bigger factor in terms

162
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 9: of how he will how he will play on Sunday

163
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 9: versus the physical aspect of things. So he's looked good,

164
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 9: he's been he says he's feeling good. The coaches say

165
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 9: that he's been looking good and feeling good.

166
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: So I'm going to go off of that.

167
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: You now, you mentioned the different offensive scheme.

168
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: How do you think the Raiders offense is going to

169
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: look different this year with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leading the way.

170
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 9: I think it'll look different, just in the sense that

171
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 9: Jimmy Garoppolo has a little bit more time and knowledge

172
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 9: of the offensive system coming in and coming in to

173
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 9: the season. Obviously, it's been such a long time since

174
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 9: Jimmy Garoppolo has played for Josh McDaniels. He was in

175
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 9: San Francisco for six years. That's a long time. Won

176
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 9: a lot of games for the forty nine ers. So

177
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 9: he's really taking a lot of the things that he

178
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 9: learned in New England and kind of trying to relearn

179
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 9: it in the sense with different verbiage and you know,

180
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 9: things of that nature. However, he definitely seems as if

181
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 9: he's picked back up the offense very well. He already

182
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 9: has chemistry with Josh McDaniels and Zigler. These were guys

183
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 9: that kind of sought him out to be on that

184
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 9: Patriots team when he came out of the league at

185
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 9: Eastern Illinois, and they taught him a lot about how

186
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 9: to play football in the professional you know, in the

187
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 9: professional level. So those things don't leave you. And so

188
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 9: I really do believe that Jimmy Garoppolo has always been

189
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 9: a good quarterback, and considering that he has already been

190
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 9: kind of raised in this system in a sense, I

191
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 9: think that he'll adapt well to it again.

192
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: Well leave I know we're all looking forward to the

193
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: highly anticipated rematch of cornerback Pat Certain and Raiders wide.

194
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: Receiver Davante Adams. What do you expect to see from

195
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: them on Sunday?

196
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: It's gonna be nice. I'm not gonna lie to you.

197
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 9: I'm gonna make sure I go find some popcorn in

198
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 9: the press box, buy some M and MS and some popcorn,

199
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 9: and you know, kick back my seat and see two

200
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 9: of the greatest in the league right now do what

201
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 9: they do. Patrick certain is a guy that I've monitored

202
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 9: since he was at Alabama. I'm a you know, I

203
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 9: was born in Birmingham, so I know everything about Alabama football.

204
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 9: So Patrick sertain This has been a hell of a

205
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 9: cornerback for a while. And obviously Devonte kind of got

206
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 9: the best of them several times last season, but Patrick

207
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 9: also showed that he can hang with one of the best,

208
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 9: if not the best receiver in the league as well.

209
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 9: So that's going to be a very tightly contested battle,

210
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 9: and I know both of those guys are going to

211
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 9: be ready to go up against each other.

212
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: And on the other side of the ball for the

213
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: Raiders defensive end Max Crosby. He's also had success against

214
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos. We heard head coach Sean pay And talk

215
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: about him earlier this week, talk about his athleticism and

216
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: his stamina. But as you may know, Levi, the Broncos

217
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: revamped their offensive line this offseason, specifically looking at right

218
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: tackle Mike McGlinchey. I feel like that'll be another matchup

219
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: to watch the Sunday definitely.

220
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 9: I actually in our article series on Raiders dot Com Versus,

221
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 9: I actually had Max Crosby versus Mike McGlinchey as one

222
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 9: of the top matchups to look out for in this

223
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 9: game because the Broncos last season, that offensive line had

224
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 9: a really tough time against Max Crosby. Max Crosby had

225
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 9: four sacks on Russell Wilson two games, had a lot

226
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 9: of quarterback hits, a lot of pressures. And so that's

227
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,359
Speaker 9: something that I noticed that Sean Payton did this offseason

228
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 9: is he really addressed the offensive line to make sure

229
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 9: that it's up to the caliber it needs to be

230
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 9: to go up against an elite talent like Max Crosby.

231
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 9: And so you know, as you know, Sidney, you watch

232
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 9: practices and you watch these players, and it's the NFL.

233
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 9: Everybody's a good football player at this level. There's not

234
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 9: a bad football player. But Max Crosby is elite. He's

235
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 9: just at that next level of guys that like you

236
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 9: very rarely ever see just in terms of his effort,

237
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 9: his motor, what drives him, that his leadership abilities, just

238
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 9: who he is as a person on and off the field.

239
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 9: Everything about him resembles greatness, and he's someone that the

240
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 9: Las Vegas Raiders are damn lucky to have, especially going

241
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 9: into a hostile environment like Denver.

242
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 5: This Sunday for.

243
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, Levy, last one for you here. I know

244
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: you said you just got back from open locker room.

245
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: So what's kind of been the vibe down there in

246
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: Low Vegas around the building, in the locker room this week,

247
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: leaning up to that season opener?

248
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: A sense of urgency.

249
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 9: That's really the best way I can describe how things

250
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 9: feel right here in Las Vegas. There's a sense of

251
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 9: urgency in the air. There's a lot of people that

252
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 9: are not I definitely wouldn't say a sense of of tightness,

253
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 9: just a sense of it's time to go to work,

254
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 9: It's time to get you know, it's time, you know,

255
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 9: to get this business handle.

256
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 5: You know.

257
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 9: It's kind of like just a lunch pale mentality here

258
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 9: in Las Vegas. And it's been felt in the locker room,

259
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 9: it's been felt amongst the coaching staff.

260
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 5: Uh, It's it's definitely, you know, they know that they

261
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 5: have an opportunity to do great things.

262
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: This season.

263
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 9: You know, they get Josh back, we have a quarterback

264
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 9: like Jimmy who you know, knows the offense, like we

265
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 9: spoke about DeVante Adams, top receiver Jacobe Myers is an

266
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 9: addition and some you know, really good additions on defense.

267
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 9: So they know what they can do this season, and

268
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 9: it's really just comes down to if they can put

269
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 9: together on the field.

270
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: Definitely. Well, it's like you said, Levias, certainly will be

271
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: a fun one this week.

272
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna have my popcorn ready in the press

273
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: box as well.
