00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back inside the uc Hell Training Center

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: for today's episode of Broncos Now to reporter and host

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: Sydney Jones here and coming up on today's episode, Bronco's

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: lead writer Eric de Lala joins the show for a

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: game recap, and we'll hear from several players as we

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: spoke to them in the locker room last night following

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: the game. All that and more coming up. Broncos fell

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: at home sixteen to nine versa Jets and now sit

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: at two in five. So we're kicking today's show off

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: with Broncos lead writer Eric Delalat joining me here inside

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos podcast studio for a game recap. Eric, another

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: disappointing loss last night. Seems like the Broncos have been

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: in every single game so far this season, and it's

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: like co check it said, I mean, the opportunities are there,

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: they're just not executing on them. Just overall over your

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: thoughts of the game. Yeah, now, four losses by one possession, Um,

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: it is the same old story again and again. Unfortunately,

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos play really good defense. Um, they score you know,

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: at times, it seems like they're gonna be able to

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: do enough but just not able to string together possessions,

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: not able to make the big plays when it counts.

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson talked about that a few weeks ago, those

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: game altering plays that the Broncos have to make them

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: again and again they have not been able to do that,

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: and we saw kind of the latest example of that

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Jets. UM. You know, several plays

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: throughout the game that that could have changed the tone,

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: could have changed the outcome. But obviously the one that

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: stands out there is the fourth and three pass to

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton in the end zone. A lot of contact

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: there from Sauce Gardener could have been p I. But

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: ultimately Courtland Sutton has to find a way to come

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: up with that ball. That's what he said after the game.

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: He's got to make that catch. We've seen him make

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: that catch before with someone on him, He's gonna be

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: able to haul that in. And listen, I know he

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: expects more from himself, his offense expects more from from themselves.

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: But they've just got to find a way to turn

39
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: things around because at two and five, you're already looking

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: at a really a dicey situation. UM, and at this point,

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: can't even talk about the playoffs as a as a

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: an option that needs to kind of just be on

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the shelf for a little bit. The Broncos just have

44
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: to find a way to win a football game and

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: get out of this four games. Kid. It's obviously never

46
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: easy when the teams without their starting quarterback. But overall,

47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: kind of what did you think of Brett Rippins performance? Yeah,

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: I thought Britt did an okay job, probably a good

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: job considering the circumstances. Was pretty windy out there. Um

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't always. It seemed like on the

51
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: same page with guys. Had one interception that, um, you know,

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: he called kind of a misread. He thought the safety

53
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: was gonna back off there and that obviously hurt the

54
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Broncos with that pick. Um, I thought he made a

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: good throw on that play of Courtland, obviously an aggressive

56
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: play rather than just checking the ball down and getting

57
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: the first down. Same thing at the very end of

58
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: the game with the past to kJ Hamler near the

59
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: end zone. Um, but listening, he seemed like he checked

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: to a quarterback sneak at one point, which got the

61
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: Bronco was the first down. He was only sacked once. Um.

62
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: I thought Brett did a pretty decent job, good enough

63
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: to put the Broncos in position to to be in

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: this game. I think maybe the Broncos asked a little

65
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: bit too much of him though, I mean throwing the

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: ball forty six times, and granted a lot of those

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: came on the final two drives. Um, as they're trying

68
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: to get back in the football game, but it was

69
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: a one possession game for most of the game. The

70
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: Broncos had seventy something yards rushing at halftime, and obviously

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: where a missed extra point away from being being tied

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: at the half, and they got away from the run game.

73
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: They came out and they threw six street passes. Um.

74
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: There's I'm sure something they liked in that matchup, but

75
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: I just think maybe you gotta rely on the run

76
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: game a little bit more. Um. That's more passes, and

77
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has thrown at any point this season, So

78
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: they asked Brett Rippon to do a lot. Um. He

79
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: did a decent job, but obviously not quite enough from

80
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: anybody to win this football game. Mentioned the run game,

81
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: team rushed for I believe seventy two yards in the

82
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: first half, looked like they really got going the best

83
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: we've seen from the run game, I think all season.

84
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: But then they came out in the second half and

85
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: only had thirty three yards. What do you think changed

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: at halftime there for that team? Yeah, I think some

87
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: of it was the attempts, UM. I think some of

88
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: it was a commitment to running the football. UM. You

89
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: know that there's a play here and there that where

90
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: they just weren't quite as successful. UM. But there are

91
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: a couple of situations where it was third and one,

92
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: fourth and one you think maybe the Broncos were in

93
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: the football here, UM, and they instead choose to to

94
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: pass it. And some of these short passes are in

95
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: kind of in some ways like a run. UM. But

96
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: you're right, they did get away from it a little bit.

97
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: They weren't quite as effective when they did run the football.

98
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: But that's something they're gonna have to to go back to,

99
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: I think, because in the first half it was it

100
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: was kind of a bright spot for this offense. UM.

101
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: You know, and if you maintain that success and listen,

102
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: it's not like they were down fourteen points, So that's

103
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: part of it. Two is that you were down one

104
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: point for a long time on three points or excuse me,

105
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: four points and then finally down seven. Um. I think

106
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: there were opportunities there, but you know they've got to

107
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: go back and look into side. And I think Nathaniel

108
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: Hackett said too, there were a couple of plays where

109
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 1: they had runs called. You know, at that stretch of

110
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: six straight passes, they had runs called. They checked out

111
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: of him because of the look. I understand making that

112
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: decision to to run the best play for the look,

113
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: but at some point you gotta, I think, just run

114
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: the football. It was nice to see Jerry get back

115
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: out there, and it looked like him and Bratt had

116
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: a really great connection. I mean, Jerry had arguably one

117
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: of his better games this season. You know, finished the

118
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: day with seven catches for nine six yards. What did

119
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: you think about him overall? Yeah, I mean he was

120
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: the kind of a spark there, him and Dulsitch. Um.

121
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: I do think there's still moments where and you know,

122
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Jerry made I think at the start of the second half,

123
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: kind of a leaping grab where he got both feet down,

124
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: a really nice contested catch. But there's still moments where

125
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's a drop here and it's not just

126
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: Jerry it's it's all over the field where you know

127
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: a guy can't quite haul in a pass that it

128
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: might get you kind of those yards you need to

129
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: get the drive going or keep the drive going. UM,

130
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: and so you know, I thought Jerry put him in position,

131
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: and then it seemed like when they were in the

132
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: red zone or near the red zone, Courtland Sutton kind

133
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: of became the guy that they went to. UM again.

134
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: It just it seems like things are not quite clicking UM.

135
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: And Brett Rippon had kind of an interesting point after

136
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the game where he said, we didn't make sure that

137
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: we are on the same page in terms of the

138
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: plays we're calling, you know, what everybody is supposed to

139
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: be doing, and then how we're attacking this defense. And

140
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: so it sounds like the Broncos are obviously they're trying

141
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: to find a solution to this, but they're kind of

142
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: at a loss right now, UM in terms of how

143
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: to go about that. And so you know that's that

144
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: could mean how they're involving Jerry Judy, Cortland, Sutton, Greg Dolsach,

145
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: all these guys. UM. So a lot to figure out there,

146
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: But but you're right, Jerry Judy was a bright spot

147
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 1: in this game. Well, the stun for defense once again.

148
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: How the opposing offense to just one touchdown. I mean,

149
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: there's such a consistent group here. And we we heard

150
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: from Courtland Sutton in the locker room afterwards, him just

151
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: praising this defense and saying that this offense needs to

152
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: step up for them because they're playing at such an

153
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: elite level. Yeah, and unprompted just before you know, his

154
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: grandma's coming to one end, and he said, I want

155
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: to say something than about the defense. Obviously, you give

156
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: up the big sixty two yard touchdown, that's about the

157
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: only and then there was one I think it was

158
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, whereas the first and twenty five

159
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: second something like that, and the Broncos give up a

160
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: first down that leads to points. Outside of that, the

161
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: Broncos defense was pretty flawless. And listen, even if you

162
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: make those mistakes, you should win a lot of football

163
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: games in this league. When you only give up sixteen points. Um.

164
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: Then the Jets were three or fourteen on third down. UM.

165
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: They only had ten first downs all game. They threw

166
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: for a hundred and twenty one yards. Zack Wilson was

167
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: sacked three times. I mean they did everything. If you

168
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: look at this box score, you know, you go down

169
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: the page and you look at the total first downs,

170
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos had twenty one to the Jets ten. You

171
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: look at the third down efficiency, the Broncos were better there.

172
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: You look at the total net yards, all sorts of things.

173
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Every stat looks like the Broncos won this football game

174
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: except for the final score. And so again the Jet

175
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: excuse me. The Broncos defense is doing everything it possibly can. Um,

176
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: we know these guys are frustrated. Um, they're tired of

177
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: talking about you know, the same kind of story, both

178
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: on offense and defense. UM. And what you know, if

179
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos ever get this figured out offensively, they do

180
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: have the defense, they can make something happen. But you

181
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: just kind of feel for those guys right now. Definitely,

182
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: Eric and news Today the team signed running back Marlon

183
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: Mack to the active roster. I think early this morning,

184
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: maybe late last night. What do you think overall about

185
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: that move? Yeah, I mean Mike Boon obviously severs an

186
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: ankle injury yesterday against the Jets. Um, the Broncos are

187
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: kind of in a unique situation here where they leave

188
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: from London on Monday, so they don't have kind of

189
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: the Tuesday, Wednesday, even Thursday to to figure out roster moves.

190
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: Orum see where guys are from a health standpoint, you

191
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: kind of have to make an instantaneous decision. I think

192
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: there was a report that the Broncos had reached out

193
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: to the forty nine to let them know they were

194
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: going to sign Marlon mack off the practice squad in

195
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: the middle of the game yesterday after Mike Boone was hurt. So, UM,

196
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: you to move quickly here. Mac obviously has had a

197
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: lot of success in this league as a dual threat

198
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: guy back in nineteen, suffered a really bad achilles injury

199
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: at the start of and hasn't quite been the same guy.

200
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: But um, I know he's trying to prove himself and

201
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, if he comes in as the third back

202
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: here if Mike Mooon can't go this week, UM a

203
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: good option. But we'll have to see how quickly he's

204
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: able to get up to speed for sure. Well, Eric,

205
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: as you know the team heads to London in just

206
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: a few hours now, how do you think they really

207
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: approach this week? Obviously it's still a business trip. They're here,

208
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: they're there to play the game on Sunday verse to Jags.

209
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: But what do you think the mindset this week, even

210
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: being in London with this four game losing streak. Yeah,

211
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's two ways to to look

212
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: at it. You can look at it as we're two

213
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: and five, we're gonna we're gonna check out, and you know,

214
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: whatever happens happens. I don't think that's the way this

215
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: team is going to go. I think the other ways

216
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: you can view it as this is a kind of

217
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: a unique opportunity to go to another country and play football,

218
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: and we can enjoy that experience, but also realize, hey,

219
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: we're all going to be kind of together in this

220
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: hotel for the week. It's almost like a training camp

221
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: type atmosphere scenery exactly. Let's let's use this as a

222
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: scenario where we can kind of flip the script of

223
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: this season get a win going into the by. You know,

224
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hacket said, Russell Wilson's trending in the right direction

225
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: to play. Hopefully he's back and can provide a spark

226
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: on offense, and you know, three and five at the

227
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: By is of course not where you want to be,

228
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: but it's better than two and six, and it keeps you,

229
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, ahead of one other a f C team

230
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: in the wild card race. And then you come back

231
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: after the buying, you just you see if you can

232
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: go on a little run here. But the Broncos they

233
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: have to make um kind of a surge here, a

234
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: concerted effort to stay together, to keep working hard to

235
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: try to get a win. And you know it's not

236
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: just about the wind record win loss record, said he.

237
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, you know there's rumors swirling about the

238
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: trade block. Um, a win here could could be the

239
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: determining factor maybe between who stays and who goes and

240
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: so uh, it'll just it's a big week in the

241
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: B because I could really use a win obviously. Well, Eric,

242
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: are you ready to have to lend in THEE Ready?

243
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited to It'll be really fun week, Eric,

244
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: appreciate your insight. Always excited excited to head overseas. Ye

245
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: see you in London, see you there. And following the

246
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: game yesterday, we heard from several players in the locker

247
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: room as they discussed the team's performance of verse to

248
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: Jets and their frustrations take a lesson. I mean at

249
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we just gotta win. I mean,

250
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: that's I mean, it's just gonna sound like a broken record,

251
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: but um, that's all that matters. That's all anyone cares about.

252
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: And um, you know we always are falling short. We've

253
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to win those games. Um. So

254
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, once once the game is done, and you know, Zeros,

255
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing, nothing else that we can do

256
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: besides watching the film and learn from it. And you know,

257
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: we got a lot of games ahead of us, and

258
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: we can't you know, um, dwell, too hard on you know,

259
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: um this this beginning half of the season. Um, it's

260
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: on us too. You know, take advantage of you know,

261
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: everything that's ahead of us, and you know, maximumz these opportunities.

262
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: You know, the the season isn't over. We have a

263
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities ahead of us, and it's an estimation

264
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: that we maximized those. Um, and you know, to eliminate

265
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: this this feeling that we have and that we've been

266
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: having the past few weeks. Yeah, we we We are

267
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: never going to divide, you know what I mean. We're

268
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: brotherhood with a team. You know, as long as we're

269
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: all together, we're gonna stay together regardless of the situation,

270
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: regardless that the outcome. You know what I mean. This family,

271
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, family don't family don't vote on each other,

272
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: so we're gonna be good regardless. Well I'll do it

273
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: for today's episode of Broncos Now, Broncos Country, thanks so
