Speaker 1: divisional games.

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: You know, I was asked that question a lot relative

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: to Atlanta, New Orleans. I mean, look, divisional games are important.

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 3: The first goal was to find a way to win

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: your division. You play your divisional opponents twice. I can't

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: speak for rivalries. I don't you know that. I just

21
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: think that exists a little bit more in the collegiate game,

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 3: and I think it's I think division games are important, yes.

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: Plus both wide receiver Courtlands Sutton an inside linebacker.

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: Alex Singleton talked today.

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: About what it means to open the season versus the Raiders.

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the divisional games always close to home. You know,

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 4: you want to win all of them, but you know

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 4: those division games they hit a little bit closer to home,

29
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: and you know, to start the season off at home

30
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: against the Raiders, there's no way to no better way

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 4: to start the season than, you know, to take care

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 4: of business. I mean, you know, against the divisional opponent

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: at home.

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 5: We're starting with a AFC West opponent and so and

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 5: we're at home, and you know, I think to start

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 5: what we want to show the stuff I guess we've

37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 5: been talking about, you know since last year, coming into

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 5: this year, this offseason and everything else. No better way

39
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 5: to start it than having, you know, the Raiders come

40
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 5: into town and do it at home.

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Alex Singleton went on to discuss how this game will

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: set the tone for the rest of the season.

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 5: I think kind of last year when thing exact opposite,

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 5: and I think that kind of set the tone for

45
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: the season. And so this year, I think we know

46
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 5: exactly what we want to do and what we need

47
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 5: to do and now shut it out there up.

48
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: And Courtland Sutton talked about where this offense is that

49
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: now and how much he's looking forward to seeing head

50
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: coach Sean Payton's game plan.

51
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 4: I think that we've had a really good you know

52
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: off season, a really good training count you know, the

53
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: growing pains, you know, certain things that we like, certain

54
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: things that we need to work on. I think that we,

55
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: you know, did a really good job with you know,

56
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: manage managing that over the course. So, like I said,

57
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 4: the off season over through training camp, so to be

58
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 4: able to go see it, you know, in live action.

59
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 4: We got to see a little bit during you know,

60
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 4: the the preseason games, but go see it in live

61
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 4: action when everything counts. It's gonna be fun to go

62
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: watch this extra day that we got, you know, to

63
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: be able to see you know, the early you know

64
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: bits of his his his game plan and what's what

65
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: his you know ideas. It's I think it's gonna be

66
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: a lot of fun to go watch it, you know,

67
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: come to fruition out there, you know on Sunday.

68
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: And another news.

69
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Cornerback Riley Moss was back at practice today for the

70
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: first time since suffering a core muscle injury.

71
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: He said he's getting better.

72
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: Day by day and detailed what is rehab process look like.

73
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 6: The biggest thing that they said is after right after

74
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 6: you get surgery, you know, you have a day or

75
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 6: two of relaxation, but then the biggest thing is making

76
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 6: sure that scar tissue doesn't tighten up and then because

77
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 6: it's gonna be a lot harder to get back on

78
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 6: the field, so they were very aggressive with it. And

79
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 6: so you know, this is, like I said, fifth week,

80
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 6: so they said four to six, So hopefully, you know,

81
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 6: we'll get going here.

82
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: So he also went on to discuss what it's been

83
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: like learning this defense and where he feels like he's

84
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: at right now in that process.

85
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 6: It's a blessing in disguise. Obviously don't want to get hurt,

86
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 6: but you know, you can kind of sit back and

87
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 6: watch the guys and watch it from a different perspective

88
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 6: and you get a lot of knowledge from that. And

89
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 6: and so I did a good job of doing that,

90
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 6: you know, watching film understand the defense a little bit more,

91
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 6: which is nice because it's a little bit you know,

92
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 6: less pressure. You know, when you're hurt, you're off the field,

93
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 6: you're able to actually you know, kind of learn this stuff.

94
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: So the team also announced today that several players change

95
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: their jersey numbers. Looking at the active roster, quarterback of

96
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Tremont Smith will now wear number one, Punter Riley Dixon

97
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: will wear at number nine, wide receiver Marvin Mims Junior

98
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: will wear at number nineteen, quarterback Fabian Moreau will wear

99
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: at number twenty three, and cornerback to Kwan McMillan will

100
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: now wear number twenty nine, and running back Jalil McLaughlin

101
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: talked today about why he didn't change his jersey number.

102
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 7: You know, I actually didn't. Thirty eight has a lot

103
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 7: of meaning. Thirty eight. I actually didn't choose that number.

104
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 7: But you know, one day I was sitting in the

105
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 7: house and I was last, and I'm like, thirty eight.

106
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 7: Thirty eight, you know what about it? And actually has

107
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 7: some meaning. I was number ten in high school. I

108
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 7: moved went to Notre Dame Colls of Ohio was number twenty,

109
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 7: and then transfer to Youngstown State. I was number eight,

110
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 7: ten plus twenty plus eight thirty eight. But I didn't

111
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 7: even act, and I didn't even ask for the number.

112
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 7: But that just shows that's life. That's how that's how

113
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 7: you know I'm in the right place now.

114
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: Joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio is Broncos

115
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: lead writer Eric Delalai. Eric, thanks for joining me on

116
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: today's episode, especially game week.

117
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: Exciting the season has started.

118
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 8: The season is it's exciting and ready to go, me too.

119
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: I know. Head coach Don Pan talked today about the

120
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: importance of these divisional games. We also heard wide receiver

121
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: Cortland Suton insidelinebacker Alex Single didn't talk about it.

122
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: Several guys inside the locker room.

123
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: Everyone seems really excited to be opening up the season

124
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: versus Raiders.

125
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that there's nothing you would rather want

126
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 8: than to go against a divisional rival, to do it

127
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 8: at home, to get a chance to set the tone. Obviously,

128
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 8: this is a Raiders team that has had a lot

129
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 8: of success recently against the Broncos. They've won six consecutive games.

130
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 8: Josh Jacobs has had a lot of success. Max Crosby

131
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 8: has had a lot of success, and this is a

132
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 8: chance for the Broncos to kind of take a stand

133
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 8: here at home, put things start things off on the

134
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 8: right foot and really kind of send a message. And granted,

135
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 8: all games are important and every divisional game is important,

136
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 8: but I think the chance to open at home and

137
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 8: get a win and just start things rolling the right

138
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 8: way and have that positive tone is really important. And

139
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 8: Alex Single and one of the things that stuck with

140
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 8: me that he said was a year ago, it was

141
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 8: kind of the opposite that that loss in Seattle set

142
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 8: the tone for the season in a negative way, and

143
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 8: here's an opportunity against the Raiders at home to start

144
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 8: the season on a positive foot and really send a

145
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 8: message for what the rest of the season is going

146
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 8: to be like for sure.

147
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: And you know it's still early in the week here,

148
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: so the team does get an extra practice. He being Monday,

149
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: I know, Courlan Suton, he talked about Seawn's game plan

150
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: and just how excited he is to kind of see

151
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: what that looks like.

152
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: Since it's early on in the week.

153
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, this something that's going to develop here

154
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 8: as the week goes on. Obviously you put in the

155
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 8: initial game to game plan or down red zone, those

156
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 8: sorts of things as the week goes on. But said

157
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 8: that's one of the reasons Sean Payton was brought here.

158
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 8: It's not just his ability as a head coach, but

159
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 8: an offensive mind. We've heard so many people say how

160
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 8: incredible he is from that standpoint. He talked last week

161
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 8: about finding that little edge that can be the difference

162
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 8: between winning and losing, give you an advantage, certainly works.

163
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 8: To see what this looks like. I mean, we've seen

164
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 8: it in practice a little bit. We saw a little

165
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 8: bit in the preseason, but we don't know what it's

166
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 8: going to look like for a whole game. And you

167
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 8: know who is going to be the guy that stands

168
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 8: out in Week one to the Broncos feed the ground game?

169
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 8: Do they go to Courtland Sutton a bunch of times?

170
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 8: Does Greg Dolcic become that guy that we think he

171
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 8: could be. All those things are possible ahead of Week one,

172
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 8: and I think the exciting thing about Sean Payton in

173
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 8: this offense is that it could change from week to week.

174
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 8: And just because we see something in Week one against

175
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 8: the Raiders doesn't that doesn't mean that's what we're going

176
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 8: to see in Week two against the Commanders. And so yeah,

177
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 8: Courtland Sutton, all these guys, they're excited to see what

178
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 8: it's going to look like. Sure, how they're going to

179
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 8: attack this Raiders defense? And I think little edge here

180
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 8: or there could be the difference. It certainly almost it

181
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 8: always is in these NFL games, and Sean Payton, I

182
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 8: think can help give you that edge definitely.

183
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: Eric, you kind of mentioned this looking at the receiver's room.

184
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: Obviously there's only four guys on the active roster, and

185
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: with Jerry Judy dealing with his injury unsure, you know

186
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: what his status is. Who do you expect really to

187
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: step up in that room outside of Cortland?

188
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, well, Cortland is one of the guests.

189
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 8: He's gonna have to do it. I think. You then

190
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 8: look at Marvin Memmes, of course, rookie who maybe he

191
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 8: thought week one he'd be behind Tim Patrick, he'd be

192
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 8: behind Jerry Judy. You know, obviously Tim's out for the season.

193
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 8: We'll have to see what happens with Jerry. We'll get

194
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 8: our first official injury report on Wednesday. He was out

195
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 8: there doing some stretching, some side work, so that's good

196
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 8: to see. But Marvin Mems is going to be called

197
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 8: on to be a part of this offense. And he

198
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 8: showed in that last preseason game his speed, his ability

199
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 8: to track the ball down the field. I think that

200
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 8: was a big confidence boost. For him. Don't think this

201
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 8: will be too big of a moment for him, But

202
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 8: you look at him, you look at Brandon Johnson as

203
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 8: a guy that'll have to step up as one of

204
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 8: the guys on the active roster. I think you're gonna

205
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 8: have to rely on the running game and on Javonte Williams,

206
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 8: some mo a JP Ryan in the passing game as

207
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 8: kind of those outlet guys. Maybe steal some yards through

208
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 8: the air that way. Greg Dulsich, Adam Troutman. I mean,

209
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 8: those are guys that are gonna have to contribute, I

210
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 8: think as pass catcher if Jerry Judy can't go, and

211
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 8: then you look at the practice squad, right and maybe

212
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 8: you elevate a guy or two there for a game day.

213
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 8: But I do think Courtland Sutton's going to get a

214
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 8: lot of the attention, but he's still going to have

215
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 8: to deliver. I think you're going to need a strong

216
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 8: performance from Courtland Sutton on Sunday for sure.

217
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

218
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: Eric, on the other side of the ball, we saw

219
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: that cornerback Riley Moss.

220
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: He was back at practice today.

221
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: You know, he said he's getting better, feels good, you know,

222
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: kind of on a day by day basis.

223
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: Don't know his status yet, as you.

224
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Mentioned, we don't have the official injury report, but seems

225
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: like he's hunting in the trending in the right direction.

226
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, good to see Riley Moss out there, first time

227
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 8: he's really practiced since he had that core muscle repair.

228
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 8: Riley is a guy that we weren't sure was he

229
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 8: going to go on short term I r is he

230
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 8: going to stay on the active roster. Obviously they let

231
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 8: him stay on the active roster. To see him back

232
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 8: out at practice as an encouraging sign. I'll have to

233
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 8: see how long it takes him to get up to speed,

234
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 8: and I'm not sure what his status will be this

235
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 8: weekend against the Raiders, but certainly positive sign. Like you said,

236
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 8: that he's out there. It's been about five weeks since

237
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 8: that surgery. They talked about four to six weeks kind

238
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 8: of as that recovery range, so hopefully we're getting close there.

239
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 8: But this is a guy that Broncos felt very strongly

240
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 8: about when they drafted him. Obviously moved up to get

241
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 8: him and sent a future pick in order to go

242
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 8: get Riley Moss. The guy that I think can contribute

243
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 8: certainly on special teams. Right away, a good reserve defender

244
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 8: that if he's pressed into action, I think would be

245
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 8: very capable. So we'll have to see kind of how

246
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 8: they get him in there, but really good news and

247
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 8: a good sign that he's working in the right direction,

248
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 8: and I would imagine we'd see him sooner rather than

249
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 8: later if he's already back out at practice.

250
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: The secondary, I mean they got a lot of depth

251
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: back there.

252
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 8: They do. Yeah, I mean we talked about a bunch

253
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 8: of guys that made this roster right and it's going

254
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 8: to be a competition to see who gets a jersey

255
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 8: on game day because everybody can't be active and everybody

256
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 8: can't get as many snaps as they probably would like.

257
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 8: Hats or Tan's going to get as many snaps as

258
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 8: he'd like, obviously, but you know, it's a very deep

259
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 8: this secondary. A lot of depth there, saying Vassie on McMillian,

260
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 8: I mean, there's a lot of good guys there that

261
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 8: are going to see the field we imagine, and excited

262
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 8: to see how it all pans out. Won't be easy

263
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 8: to throw on these guys.

264
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: Definitely Wela's but certainly not least eric five players on

265
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: the active roster changed their Jersey numbers today. I kind

266
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: of went over who that was earlier in the show,

267
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: but nice changed right before the start of the season.

268
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 8: I guess, yeah, it was nice to see. I know

269
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 8: Marvin Mams wanted something a little smaller, so I didn't

270
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 8: like the eighty three. I thought it looked good on him,

271
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 8: but he did too. He didn't like it. I guess

272
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 8: one guy who didn't change his number, said Julia McLoughlin.

273
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 8: I thought that was a nice story that his was

274
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 8: high school numbers and college number added up to thirty eight.

275
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 8: Kind of that's, you know, a mix of everything that

276
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 8: brought him to this point.

277
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: It was meant to be.

278
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 8: I have a nice moment.

279
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: It was for sure.

280
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: Well excited to get the week going here. Eric, there

281
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: will not be practiced on Tuesday, but guys, we'll be
