  Speaker 1: This is the Appetizer Hour with Brett Cain on demand.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Check out Brett weekday mornings at 6 on Altitude Sports
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Paints up one again by the Avalanche Cadry. Holding, shooting,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and that floats wide. Four seconds to go. Sam Heim
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: down ice, and that will be it. Flyers have beaten
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the Avalanche. They've won back-to-back games. And Colorado suffers their
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: third regulation loss of the season to.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Fall to 5-3-1.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: A chance for redemption tomorrow night in New Jersey when
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: they take on the Devils.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, no!
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: We suck again! So the Avs.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Dropped one in Philly yesterday. Philly, not a very good team, but.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: It's what happens when you get off to a slow start.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: And it's another example of one of the more frustrating
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: things that hockey has to offer. Football has their own
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: version of this, but nobody knows what goalie interference is.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: And when the game gets started with that sort of tone,
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just incredibly frustrating.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: McKenzie Blackwood is going to get hit with a loss
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: and have a sub-900 save percentage last night, and I
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: thought he was actually really good.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Didn't get a lot of help.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: The Avs just got off to another sort of slower
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: start and put themselves in a 2-0 hole. Are they
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: capable of working their way back into a game and
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: winning it? And at times, winning it dominantly like they
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: did against Pittsburgh the other night?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Yes. but they can't put themselves in a hole like that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: I think too often they almost feel like, and this
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: dates back to last year and years previous to that,
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: they almost.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Need to be motivated to get the game going. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: that starts with the opposing team putting one on you.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: But again, it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Was Philadelphia takes a lead and they play just an
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: incredibly frustrating style of hockey.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: The Avs never really found a rhythm. They were getting trapped.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: They, they couldn't get any free release into their own
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: offensive zone. And again, you, you come back and you
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: make this a three, two game and you have some
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: opportunities towards the end. But even with the extra attacker
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: out there felt like it was, it was tough to
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: find any sort of open ice and, and get an
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: open lane. Um, I feel like it was another maybe
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: example of a little bit of overpassing. Especially when you
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: have the extra attacker on the eyes. You got to
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: throw anything you can towards the net. And in Marty
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Natchez during that sequence, there was about, I don't know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: 30 seconds left maybe. He has an opportunity just to
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: put one on net and he tries to find McKinnon
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: at basically the blue line. So he goes from potential
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: shot with a lane to kicking it all the way
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: back up to McKinnon.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And I, I get it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: He's trying to set them up for the one timer,
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: but the pass has to be perfect.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And it was a little bit behind McKinnon.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: So then he had to like regain possession of the
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: puck and restart the process all over again. It just
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: felt like that's, that was the abs all night. They
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: maybe had an opportunity if they did something quickly and
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: they just, they, they didn't get things going. Um, that
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: was not a game in which I think the, the
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: abs as a texture says, looks like they didn't deserve
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: any points to that last night. And I totally agree
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: that I was a game that you just didn't deserve any,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: any sort of positives coming away from it. Now you
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: look at who got on the board. TJ Hughes gets
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: his second goal of his career last night. Nate just
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: does get on the board with a goal. Um, 0-2
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: on the power play, obviously still a work in progress there.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: But the Habs have that thing that they are experts at,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: which is second game of a back-to-back. This one being
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: on the road, maybe a little bit tougher, a little
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: bit different. I just think there's a lot about last
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: night that has been showing itself here in the early
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: portion of the year, mainly being slow start, and then
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: having to work your way back.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: You know, some.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Overpassing or not passing up a good play for the
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: perfect play. And I think a lot of times in
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: almost every sport, when you're passing up what I would
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: call really good opportunities... to try and get the perfect...
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: It's like in football. If you've got a 15-yard pass
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: that's open that can move the chains for a first down,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: and then you've got a guy who's streaking downfield, but
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: you've got to make a perfect throw to get in
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: the end zone, sometimes you've just got to take the
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: 15-yard pass. I know that's a weird thing to say
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: right now, considering where Broncos fans are with Bo Nix
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: and him and his checkdowns, but it's true. You still
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: have to take those opportunities and try and make the
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: big play, but sometimes you just got to get a
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: puck on net and try and bang one back home afterwards.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: You know, the Avs, after starting the season, they did
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: that thing where they were dominating in shots for versus
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: shots against. Hasn't been the case here over the last
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: few games. I just think they need to get back
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: to just putting something on net and trying to make
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: things work. We'll talk to Jared Bednar tomorrow. at 8
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: o'clock about that. But yeah, it was just a game.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: I don't think they deserved to come away with anything.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: It was a.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Very, very difficult, once you're down 2-0, Phillies playing basically
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: not to lose, and they just don't want to allow
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: you to get any sort of momentum. Because I think
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: we all kind of know when the Avs get a
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: little bit of momentum going their way, they're a wagon.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: They're tough to stop. When that train gets rolling through,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: good luck.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: But again, I think that McKenzie Blackwood, despite what the
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: numbers are going to say, I thought he played a
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: really good game. Just wasn't getting much help on the
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: defensive side, nor was he getting help. Um, with again,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: just trying to find opportunities offensively. So the abs dropped
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: that one three to two. They're going to be back
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: at it tonight against New Jersey. Second leg of a
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: back to back.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Um, You said when they get rolling, they're a what?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Don't you play the song. Don't you dare. It's true, though.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: New Jersey is four and four on the year, and look,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: good team, but I think the Avs, who are excellent
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: on the second legs of back-to-backs, can get back on track.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: It's like passing up a wide-open layup to a contested three.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: And we see NBA teams do this all the time.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you just got to take the points. And in
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: the Avs case, especially, you know, Marty Natchez, I think,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: is most guilty of this. And I like where it
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: stems from. It stems from being unselfish. But sometimes you
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: can be too unselfish.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Take the... Sorry, my baby monitor's on. My baby's crying.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Hang on, let me turn that off. You guys don't
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: want to hear a crying baby on the air.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: They listened to three of them from 7 to 10 a.m.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: every day.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I thought I was losing my mind. You guys know this.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: If you have a young child, you know you can
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: hear these phantom cries from your kid. They're just in
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: your head. And I thought that's what was happening at first.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: And so I was getting kind of freaked out. I'm like,
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I need to block out the sound of a child.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: That is going on, you feel like a schizophrenic. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: then I realized, nope, that's an actual legitimate cry coming
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: from my phone.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: You've abandoned your boy. I've abandoned my child? I've abandoned
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: my girl?
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, saying I've abandoned my girl doesn't hit as well
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: as I've abandoned my boy.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Real good kid? So anyway.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: The Avs dropped one last night to the Flyers. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: had that game on at the same time as I
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: was watching Monday Night Football, and I got to tell
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: you something.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: In watching Washington.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Washington, who just dealt with incredible embarrassment last week, where
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: they tied a football game 27-27 because Jaden Daniels decided
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: to lay down with nine seconds left and no timeouts.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: in field goal range, in position to win it. By
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: the way, in a division where nobody's good, Philly, not
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: only did they suck before, their quarterback's now out for
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: the year. The Cowboys.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Can't put anything together. Bad defense, bad offense, bad everything.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: The Giants are on their third quarterback of the season
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: after going from Jackson Dart, who's out for the year,
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: to Jameis Winston, who they benched, to now J.J. McCarthy,
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: who they acquired like three days ago. If Washington can
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: just keep their bleep together, they would be in position
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: to win this. And after the embarrassment of how the
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: game ended last week, which was a 27-27 tie because
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Jaden Daniels doesn't know how time works, they then this
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: week on fourth down throw the ball out of bounds.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: And in this case, Dan Quinn, who knows? He said
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: he knew it was fourth down after the game. I
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: saw the video. Sure didn't look like it to me.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: But bottom line is, your quarterback, forget the coach for
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: a second, your quarterback should know these things. He should
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: know I can't lay down with nine seconds left on
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: the clock and no timeouts. He should know it's fourth down,
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: the last thing you can possibly do. There's two things.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: You can't throw the ball out of bounds and you
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: can't take a sack.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: That's it. Anything else in interception is fine. It's fourth down.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Throw the ball straight up in the air and yell
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: 500 if you have to.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: But we talk about this a lot. When you lose,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: that's one thing. When you lose and it's embarrassing, that's
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: another thing. That's how a guy like Nate Hackett gets
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: fired in his first year. Nate Hackett didn't get fired
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: because the team was bad. That was part of it.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Nate Hackett got fired because the team was bad and
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: you were being embarrassed every week. I mean, the very
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: first game of the year, you run down 35 seconds
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: of the clock to attempt a 64-yard field goal, whatever
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: it was, from Brandon McManus. He's fired because Baker Mayfield,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: who was signed off the street for the LA Rams,
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: puts up a 50-piece on you on Christmas in front
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: of God and everybody.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: That's not what he wanted to cook.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Losing in losing in embarrassing fashion is how guys lose jobs.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And I don't think that Dan Quinn is long for
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: that job.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Now, I don't know if he gets fired mid-season, but
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I find it very difficult after witnessing what we've witnessed.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: And if you can't win the division this year, and
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know who the hell is going to win
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: that division. Like, that is going to be, as much
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: as we have much maligned the NFC South for being
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: a horrible division. I mean, the Panthers won that with
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: an 8-9 record last year, and it looks like they
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: might do it again.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: The NFC East is going to be worse.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Because Washington, who lost last night and is in last
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: place in the worst division in football, also lost Terry
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: McLaurin last night.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: When I saw that this is the first time since
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: the merger in 1970 that a division.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Has gone winless in two consecutive weeks, including two of
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: those teams playing each other.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Think about that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: The NFC East, none of those teams won a game
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: in back-to-back weeks, and oh, by the way, two of
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: them played each other. They're making history, Brett.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: That is one of the most insane things I've ever heard.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: An entire division for two straight weeks goes without anybody
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: improving in the win column.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Whoever wins this division, you know what?
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: I am somebody that I've clamored for this, especially in
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: the college football ranks that I need. There needs to
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: be parameters for who makes the playoffs and who doesn't.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: And I've always said the NFL does it best because
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: if you win your division, you're in the playoffs. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: think we make an exception this year. NFC East is
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: not allowed. We kick them out and we put in
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: literally anybody else. Put in the Cardinals. Put in the.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: You pick. I don't care. The Saints. Whatever. You can't
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: allow somebody from that division to make the playoffs. Not
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: No.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I refuse.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: So, 303-504-0925 as we broadcast from the back in Shanker Studios.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Backus and Shanker, your hometown injury lawyers in a car accident.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Call 303-222-2222.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: A lot more to get to here. And college football,
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: stock up, stock down, next. We do it every week
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: following the college football weekend. It is college football, stock up,
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: stock down. We always start with the quarterback, stock up.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Connor Wiegman, the quarterback out of Houston. I don't know
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: if you've seen what Houston's been doing this year. They
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: got one tough loss, and that's the Texas Tech. back
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: in week three of the season, where they lost 28-26,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: was right there on the brink.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: But this dude, out of.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Houston, in his last two games, has nine touchdowns, including
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: 24 of 33 for 343 yards, five TDs, one pick,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: 52 rushing yards, and a 35-32 win over a good
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma State team. He's got 1,700 passing yards already this year,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: almost 1,800, with 20 touchdowns on the season. I was
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: kind of a non-believer in the good start from Houston
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: to begin this.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I flipped. I think they're a really good team.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: It was partly margin of victory against teams like Oregon
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: State and how they started the year. But now Oregon State,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: they've rattled off five in a row. They look to
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: be a pretty good football team. But this kid now,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: he's a senior. It's his second year at Houston. He
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: started his career at Texas A & M. He had
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: 25 touchdowns all of last season. He's at 20 already.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: He's going to shatter that. And he completes 68% of
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: his throws. He's just a fun guy to watch. And
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Houston now has become a team that you want to
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: look at who's going to come out of the Big 12. Like,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Houston's got as good a shot as anybody. They're very,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: very fun offensively. It's not like too over the top.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: It's not crazy like Hawaii football back in the day
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: with Timmy Chang or Colt Brennan.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: But it is.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Just a lot of very fundamentally sound football is the
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: way I'd call it, and he's the leader of it. So,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Donald Wigman, he gets the stock up. Let's go quarterback
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: stock down. Been a rough go over the past couple
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: of weeks. You go from, you know, number one in
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: the country to losing 27-24 the exact same way two
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: weeks in a row.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: It's Arch.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: The news is coming out in Texas that they're going
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: to give the backup quarterback more first-team reps this week
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: in practice, which is usually a precursor into.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Eventually handing those duties over. But it's a very delicate
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: situation when the Mannings go up to Sark and go,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: we're trusting you to hone and whittle our prodigy into
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: something that's going to live up to the family name.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a tough admission if you say,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: I can't do it. We need to move somewhere else. Now,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Arch in this game against Florida was 14 of 20
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: for 173 yards, one touchdown, was sacked five times, he
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: had a big fumble late in the game. The problem is,
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: Florida gives up like 40 points a game over the
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: last month of the season, and you were only able
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: to put up 24 and not get a lot going
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: through the air. It's just, it kind of feels like,
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: to be honest, a weird fit now with Arch in Texas.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: The offense doesn't seem to suit his style necessarily, and...
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: He doesn't seem to be playing with a ton of
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: confidence dating back to last week. Remember, they played against
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: an Oklahoma team who's not very good, and they lose
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: that game 27-24, partly because of the turnovers.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: And it's kind of been a problem all year for him.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: He's had only, I think, one game in which he
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: had no turnovers, and that was against UTSA. We all know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: as a quarterback, you turn the ball over, you're probably
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: not going to come away with results that you like.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: But Arch Manning, he gets a stock down. Let's go
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Big 12 team stock up.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: The Big 12!
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's got to be BYU. It's the biggest win
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: in franchise history.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Franchise? School history.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: But to get a win over Notre Dame the way
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: that they did, they now start the year 6-0. You
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: beat the No. 2 team in the country. You yourself
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: are No. 2 now in the country. It is pretty remarkable.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: how far BYU has sort of climbed in a short
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: amount of time. I still have questions. Like, that's a
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: very good football team. Again, a very fundamentally sound football team.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: I have my questions that if they find themselves in
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: a deficit, is Bear Bachmeier going to be somebody that
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: can throw their way back into a game? But I
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: guess if you're always either having a lead or one
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: score back, you can just continue to run your offense.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: They have a number of different guys in the running
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: game that they can look to. They use about three
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: or four different running backs in that offense, including Bachmar
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: taking off and running for the bulk of it. But
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: I do have questions about what he can do through
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: the air.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: You know, you get this win over Notre Dame. It was.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: A 23 of 36 for 224 yards, one touchdown and
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: one interception performance from him. He had a big game
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: the previous week against Iowa State, but you look over
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: the history of him as the starter there. You see
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: a lot of games in which their passing yards are
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: in the hundreds. And if you need a game in
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: which he can go out, put the game on his
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: shoulders and win it for you, I don't know if
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: he's capable of it. But maybe they don't have to.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: BYU is a very, very good football team. They proved
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: it last week with a huge win over Notre Dame.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: They get the stock up. Let's go Big 12 team
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: stock down.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: It's the Big 12! Arizona State.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: They have really had trouble trying to find their footing
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: over the last few years.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: They've had some good seasons. They've had some bad ones.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: They kind of porpoise their way through every single year.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: It's like they're up top, they're down low.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: And in this case, they went on the road and
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: played against Texas Tech, the number 10 team in the
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: country at that time, and lost 53-25. So their wins
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: this year over Morgan State, Kansas, and Hawaii. Three teams
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: that are not marquee matchups at all. Their losses are
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: to Texas A & M, a good football team. Well, decent,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: I guess. Not very good in the SEC.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: But they lost 48-20.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Then they played against Baylor. Baylor's a decent football team
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: in the Big 12. They lost 55-19. Texas Tech, who
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: they played this last week, was 53-25. They've given up
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: against the good opponents they faced. 53-55 in 48 points, respectively.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: That ain't beating nobody.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: And Lord only knows when they get to playing against
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: teams like BYU or they play against Oklahoma State with
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Mestmaker or they play against Arizona towards the end of
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: the year. My guess is they're going to get lit
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: up in the 50s again. Just can't trust that defense.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Arizona State gets the stock down. Let's go national team
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: stock up. Okay, there's a million different choices because of
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: the upsets that we had this week.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: But I'm going to go back to.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: A team that got embarrassed a couple of weeks ago,
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: and I'm starting to think that game's a fluke.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: And it's Ole Miss.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Ole Miss took on number 13, Missouri, and beat them
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: 31-3 this past week. The only stain on their resume
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: is that they lost to Florida 52-28, which still doesn't
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: make any sense to me.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: But it's a matter of trust. Who do you trust?
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: I trust Trinidad Chambliss. I trust him. He's one of
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: the best quarterbacks in the country. And when he's right,
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Ole Miss is right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: They go on the road, they.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Play Texas this week. I bet you Texas is getting
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: dealt their third loss in a row. And that's because
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Ole Miss is a really good football team. Then they
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: play Auburn in Georgia. And I think if they get
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: through that stretch, if they play against Georgia, and I
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: think they got a chance to beat them, especially given
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: what we saw last week, you're talking about Ole Miss
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: being right back in position to be on top of
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: the SEC. I just think they're a really good football
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: team that got stuck in a really bad week against Florida.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I trust them more than I trust most teams. In
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: college football. And I think that they're going to find.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: They'll be like a two loss team by the end
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: of the year. I think with a chance to maybe
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: win out. If they don't make some gigantic mistakes here.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: In this next three week stretch. So Ole Miss they
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: get the stock up. Let's go national team stock down.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah we just kind of talked about them. It was Texas.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Lost two in a row. They play Ole Miss this weekend.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: They do it at home. It's on ABC. Could Texas
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: win this game? Yeah they could. I don't think they will.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: And now Texas has a real problem.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know what the extent of Kamario Taylor's injury is,
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: but their game after this week against Ole Miss is
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Mississippi State. If Kamario Taylor is healthy, that's not going.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: To be easy. Then they go on the road at Mizzou.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Then they go on the road at LSU.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: And then they have Arkansas, which is going to be
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: a gimme with Texas A & M to close out
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: the year. They very feasibly could lose the next three
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: weeks or four weeks in a row.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Or at least three of the next four games.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: And that would put them at a five-loss team by
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: the time you have two games left in the season.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Now you're starting to worry, like, can we just hang
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: on and get bowl eligible? There could be a lot
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: of problems coming through Texas over the next month, but
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: it starts this next week as they play Ole Miss,
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: and I think they're going to get dealt their third
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: loss in a row. We just talked about they have
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: quarterback questions right now. Who's going to start? They just
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: need to find a way late in the game to
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: make a play because they seem to make the one
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: late in the game that gets them burnt.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: That's got to flip.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: And I kind of feel like Sark's coaching for his
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: job here towards the end of the year. Texas, when
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: you start the year at number one overall, and then
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: you're talking about, are we going to lose three, four,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: five games.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: In a row?
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: That poses a gigantic question mark pointed right over the
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: head of their quarterback. And that's Steve Sarkeesian. So Texas,
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: they get the stock down. Let's go Heisman stock up.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Haven't mentioned him in this category yet, although he should be.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: It's Malachi Tonys, the sophomore out of Miami, the kind
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: of do-it-all guy for their offense. In the two-overtime thriller
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: against Florida State, he had 11 catches for 154 yards
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: and two touchdowns, ran the ball twice for 31 yards.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: He's the kind of guy, like, for Heisman, I always
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: say this, there's, like, three different things that you need
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: to be Heisman. You need your team to be good.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: You need your statistics to be mind-blowingly high. And you
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: need highlight reel types of plays. Well, Malachi Toney does
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: that every single week. On the year, he's got 50
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: catches for 758 yards and 8 touchdowns. He has just
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: started being involved in the running game again the past
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks. I think they're going to do that
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: a little bit more just to provide another sort of
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: spark within that offense. But Miami, who again, they're the
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: new number one in the country... So you have the
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: checkmark of does my team win? You have the checkmark
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: of putting up numbers, and you have the checkmark of
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: being the highlight reel guy that when they do the
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: Heisman ceremony, let's take a look at the candidates. Malachi Toney,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: and it's two minutes of him just juking guys, making
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: a miss, and using, like, blazing speed to get by people.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Their next few games, they have a couple against Pitt
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: in North Carolina coming up where I think he can—
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: He can continue to inflate those numbers. And then you have, like,
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: the real test, which is you play against Notre Dame
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: at Notre Dame.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: If you do that and.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Have a big game against them on national TV, he's
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: going to be firmly in that discussion. So Malachi Toney,
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: he gets the Heisman stock up. Let's go Heisman stock down.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Winning numbers highlight real plays. This guy has the winning
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: despite a loss last week. The numbers are good, not great.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: The highlight reel plays not all that high, but it's
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: Gunnar Stockton. You lose a game like that to Auburn
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: after coming away with a big win over Alabama. He
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: was 22 of 34 for 272 yards, two touchdowns. but
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: two interceptions in that game, and over the last four weeks,
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: he's turned the ball over in three of the last
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: four games for Georgia. Now, it didn't matter because you
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: played against Oklahoma.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Who cares? You played against Vanderbilt. Who cares?
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: Did turn the ball over against Alabama, and you won,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: but you won 20-17. It's not like the offense lit
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: things up. This loss against Auburn is going to sting.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: And with a whole bunch of people vying for this
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Heisman at the end of the year, your Jeremiah Smith,
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: your Malachi Tonys, your Trinidad Chamblisses, your whole bunch of
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: different guys across the country. You can't afford to have
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: stains like that on the resume, especially at that position
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: because it's too crowded. So Gunnar Stockton, he gets a
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: stock down.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Best game of the week. I mean, dude, you take
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: your choice. It could be a number of them. It
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: could be Auburn, Georgia.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: It could be Notre Dame and BYU, which is great.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: It could be Ohio State and Indiana. Indiana losing by
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: a half foot out of bounds in the end zone.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: But I'm going with Florida State, Miami. Double overtime thriller.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Florida State, who I think got screwed out of making
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: that triple overtime. You can't call a holding in that situation.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. It wasn't even a hold.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: So to redo it, almost got the Hail Mary twice
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: in a row. It's a remarkable ending to the game.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: They get the best of the weekend. Let's go with
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: upset of the week.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Pretty damn cool.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Again, any one of the teams that I mentioned, but
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: I believe you'd have to give it to Auburn. They
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: battled back from a 14-0 deficit. They're an unranked team
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: taking on the number one team in the country. It's
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: the first time in AP poll history that a number
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: one team has lost to an unranked opponent in back-to-back weeks.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Um.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Again, no shortage of options to really point to, but
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: I think that's the big one. Auburn over Georgia is
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: your upset of the week, and that is college football.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Stock up, stock down. Ten bucks doesn't always get you
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: much anymore, but on Tuesdays, it'll get you any large
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: pizza at Papa Murphy's. It's a $ 10 Tuesday. Order at papamurphys.com.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Pick it up, bake it fresh at home. Moving forward
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: in college football, this is where it's going to get
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: really fun. is the, the bars been set so high
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: now expectation wise.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: For what each week should bring.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: That it feels like this next weekend is going to
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: be highly disappointing considering what we just witnessed.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Um, You have decent games lined up.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: You know, you have Miami's going to take on Pittsburgh,
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: but they're a 20-point favorite. Pittsburgh might be 5-2, but
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: I think they're going to roll in that game.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Indiana, who's No.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: 6 in the country after that loss to Ohio State,
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: is playing in the big house. And I don't know
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: what to expect from Michigan on a week-to-week basis anymore.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: They put in Tommy Carr last week, and Bench Bryce
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: Underwood seemed to give their offense a little bit of
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: a boost. Indiana's only a 7-point favorite. But I think
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: a big game in the Big 12. It's Houston and Utah.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: like that's the number 14 team versus the number 10
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: team in the country, Utah playing at home.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: They're six and a half point favorites.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: Whoever comes out of that one is going to have
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: real claim that I'm the best team in the Big 12.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: And I think it's super interesting because I want another
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: conference to be somewhat in the discussion of what the
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: SEC and the Big.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: 10 are doing. So, 303-504-0925.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: Um, reminder to you guys, the abs continue their early
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: season East coast swing against the devils this afternoon, pregame
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: powered by Ramos law starts at four 30 with Birdo.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: And then Connor gets going shortly after five o'clock abs
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: on your drive home.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: What could be better?
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: It's right here on altitude sports radio, 92 five.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: So few things from yesterday comparison.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: I would like to make when something I witnessed last
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: night in something that It could be happening this Sunday.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: We'll get to it next.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: Hey, Sean, kind of back to Bo Nix. What's your take?
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: You know, a lot of people say they don't listen
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: to commentators, social media, but it's become a big deal.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: You know, Ryan Fitzpatrick, all these guys, you know, kind
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: of blasting Bo for his play. I mean, what do
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: you think about kind of the national statements that are
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: all being thrown out? Yeah, Chris, I try to focus on...
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: The next day here, you know, we're trying to focus
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: on getting ready to play Arizona. That's kind of where
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: our attention is.
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: From a condition standpoint, this team, this organization, hasn't had these.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Sort of issues in the past.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we're on to Cincinnati.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Bill, do you think, do you imagine Tom's age at
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: the draft?
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: We're on to Cincinnati.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Well, do you think having a 37-year-old?
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: We're on to Cincinnati.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: It's nothing about the past, nothing about the future.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Right now, we're preparing for Cincinnati. Do you feel like
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: the talent you have.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: Here is good?
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: We're getting ready for Cincinnati. That is Sean Payton yesterday
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: at his presser. Something I realized in watching the game
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: last night. You know, the Niners are really good.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: They are top to bottom.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: A very, very good football team.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: They're 6-0.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: But there's one difference. And I have put Bo Nix
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: in this category. I think he can be these guys.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: And these guys are Brock Purdy and Jalen Hurts. Brock
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Purdy does not do like Josh Allen things with the football.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: I don't think that Brock Purdy in his career will
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: ever be seen as a top three quarterback in his era.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: He'll get numbers and he puts up wins.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: But the difference between what the Niners do and what
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: the Broncos do is the difference between Brock Purdy and
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: Bo Nix right now. Now, Purdy has something that Bo
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: Nix does not. He has this thing called Christian McCaffrey.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Do you know what? Brock Purdy did last night.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: Brock Purdy dumped it off to Christian McCaffrey nine times
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: for 53 yards. RJ Harvey does that. RJ Harvey gets
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: the dump off passes. That's not much different. But Brock
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Purdy will do this. Go back and watch like highlights
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: of that game yesterday. Brock Purdy will make a throw
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: 15 yards downfield to move the chains to keep the
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: defense honest. That's what he'll do. Bo Nix has done
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: that in the past. Bo Nix is not doing that
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: right now. And you need to make throws to open
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: receivers downfield to keep them honest or else the defense
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: won't care. And you don't have Christian McCaffrey in the
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: backfield to run the football for you.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: But I'd say this too.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Go look at Christian McCaffrey's rushing numbers this year. He's
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: got 350 yards across six games. That isn't like he's
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: lighting people up. Like, Kenneth Walker's sitting there at like.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: 665 or something like that. Like, some insane number. Christian
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: McCaffrey's 350.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: 350.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: You don't need a hundred yard rusher to do this,
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: but by opening up things in the past game, by
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: hitting receivers downfield, it gives you more options on the ground.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: It allows these dump off passes to be more effective
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: because there's more space at the line of scrimmage. Like
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: all of these different things kind of go hand in hand. Um,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: Like a texture says, Purdy's a good quarterback, not a
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: great playmaker. I think that's a great way to put it.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: And that's not an insult to him. I want Bo
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: Nix to be Brock Purdy. If Bo Nix is Brock Purdy,
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: you're going to have chances to go to Super Bowls.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Just like the Niners do every single year. But if
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: you're listing your, just off the top of your head,
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: give me the top quarterbacks in the league right now.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Give me the top ones. Start listing them off.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: Allen, Mahomes, Lamar, Stafford, Burrow. How long do you go
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: before you get to Brock Purdy? Like if I just
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: say one-to-one, you have this guy for the year. I'm
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: not giving you the rest of the roster and what
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: that looks like. I'm going to give you a quarterback.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Brock Purdy or Josh Allen? You take Josh Allen. Brock
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Purdy or Mahomes?
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Mahomes. For one year, Brock Purdy or Matthew Stafford? You
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: take Stafford. Purdy or Burrow? Burrow. Purdy or Lamar? Lamar.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: If I say Purdy or Caleb Williams, who are you choosing?
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: And I don't know how far down the list that
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: we go before you get to I take Brock Purdy
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: over that guy. He's a solid quarterback. He does his
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: job and he makes the right play. And sometimes at quarterback,
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: you don't need the do-it-all guy.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: You need a guy that fits. And we talk about
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: this in stuff like basketball all the time. Aaron Gordon
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: on the Orlando Magic was a pretty good player.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Aaron Gordon for the Denver Nuggets is like an indispensable
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: piece to what you need to do. It doesn't mean
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: he's the best player in the league, but for what
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: the Nuggets are as an organization, Aaron Gordon is irreplaceable.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: And we've seen that year after year when he goes
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: down with a hammy or something like that in the
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: playoffs and he's out and the team is entirely different.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: But you need to make.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: A few throws downfield a game to keep a defense honest.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: And you do that by staying in a clean pocket,
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: stepping up and making a throw. And when I talk
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: about the frustrations... That you have despite going 4-2 to
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: start this year. It's that I think you could be
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: San Fran. I think you could be undefeated 6-0. Like
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: unquestionably a top two team in the league. With the
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: defense that you have. No doubt about it. But it's
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: just something I realized. I'm watching last night.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Brock Purdy.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Isn't considered a top five quarterback in the league, you
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: might get the guys like Dan Orlovsky saying, well, right now,
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: the guy who's playing one of the best in football
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: is Brock. That's not what I'm talking about. If you
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: were to do a draft and it was all about quarterbacks,
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: how far down that list would you go before you
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: get the Brock party? And it doesn't mean that he's bad,
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: but for what the Niners do, he's excellent. And part
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: of that is he's taking the easy throws. He has
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: a few where it will be like in traffic, on
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: the money. Every quarterback has to make a throw like that.
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: But a lot of times it's, hey, Mike Evans is
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: open 15 yards downfield.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Here you go. First down, moving on. And then when
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: you line up the next play at the line of scrimmage.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: And they want to go play action, they can actually
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: bite on play action because you don't know what's going
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: to happen. I mean, I know this is, this is
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: pretty basic stuff that we're talking about, which is hitting
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: an open receiver and staying in the pocket and stepping
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: up in that open pocket to hit the guy.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: It's just, Bonex isn't doing it right now.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: And if he did, it's just like the heights that
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: this team could go to if he just was able
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: to do what Brock Purdy does within that 49ers offense.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: It's taking what's given to you, but it's not taking
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: the easiest of options, which is dump the ball down
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: at the line of scrimmage. And so that, in watching
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: last night, like you're watching a Niners team, and look,
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: they allowed Washington to come back in that game and
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: have a shot late. They still did it. They had
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: their own issues. You know, in the fourth quarter, they're
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: up 23-10. It's a three and out. Washington responds with
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: a touchdown. Now it's 23-17. They need a drive. They
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: go three and out. Washington drives down the field again.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Go for it on fourth down. And Jaden Daniels throws
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: it out of bounds because I don't know what they're doing.
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: So you get the ball back. Hey, there's a minute
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: 54 left. You can close out the game.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Three and out. It's not perfect.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: And that's why I don't think anybody considers Purdy elite
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: level in this league.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: But it's enough. It's enough.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: And it's not enough like we won 17-14. They are
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: a threat offensively. And you need to have a threat
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: because right now the Broncos aren't. And if they do,
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: gosh man, the heights you could go as a football
• 41:10

  Speaker 5: David Adelman the other day said this about DeMar DeRozan.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: I'm going to say this again.
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: I don't know what's going to happen during the season,
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: but DeMar DeRozan has been an unbelievable sign. We were
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: so lucky to get him as a person first. Today,
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: he's scripting with the second. The guy's been in the
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: league for four years, and I got him out here
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: 10 minutes before practice scripting with rookies.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: People don't understand. That's not normal.
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: So it's really cool to see him do that. He's
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: been a leader from day one.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: I am getting very excited about this Nugget season. I
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: am just so curious about what things are going to
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: look like past the top seven on that roster, because
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: I know what DeMar DeRozan is. I think he's going
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: to be great for them. But a whole bunch to
• 42:44
