  Speaker 1: It's a Rally House Football Monday.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I told y'all what they finna do.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: All day long, we're dissecting the entire football weekend.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: I'm an offensive genius, bro. Brought to you by Rally House.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Shop every team in town.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: I need that jersey, bro.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane on Altitude Sports Radio.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: 92.5 It's a Rally House Football Monday on Altitude Sports Radio.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Rally House. Shop every team in town. I am in
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a weird spot here, Vic. Things happen in morning radio.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: You have guys like Steve. If something happens in the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: morning where he can't make it, he's okay, but he
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: couldn't make it. And I was like, all right, I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: guess I'm going to be in this. Nobody's picking up
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: their phone at 5 o'clock in the morning, so what
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: are you going to do? So we're going to get
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: through this today. First of all, Vic, how are you doing?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I have more respect for you right now than I've
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: ever respected another person in this business. I just want
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: everyone to know this man, this man woke up, came
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: to work, and is doing three jobs at once right now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: He is operating this, I don't even know what you
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: call it. It's like running the Star Trek machine.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of buttons down here.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: You have a bunch of buttons in front of you.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: It would be like, Me showing up trying to fly
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a plane this morning. It's just not possible. And not
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: only are you doing it, you're doing that and you're
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: hosting the show. So what's going to happen eventually by
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: the end of today? Management's going to figure out you
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: can do both. Nelly's job's in jeopardy. And we will
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: no longer have a producer on this program. Because you
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: can occupy both seats.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, you can flip the burgers and make
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the fries. Why are we paying a fry guy?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Exactly right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I quit if they do that. How's that sound? Anyway, Vic,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you know what's crazy? I'm watching the Broncos, and it
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: hit like an epiphany. Bo Nix takes off and runs
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: for a 62-yard touchdown, and everything felt right again.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It was that simple. Everything looked the same at the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: beginning of the Broncos game. It was like, gosh, the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: offense looked a little bit better. Jonah Coleman's giving you
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit more burst in the run game. They
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: took some shots on that first– they did what you
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: asked for, Vic. First play of the game was an
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: empty set, shotgun, 20-yard in cut to Cortland Sutton, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: they hit it. But it's still like, all right, end
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that in a field goal. Once Bo Nix showed I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: can still run the football, that was it. The offense
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: looked like the– I don't want to say great, but–
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the decent offense that we all knew that they could be.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: They did enough. Listen, it wasn't sustained excellence by any means.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: It's not like they had the ball on every possession
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and moved it up and down the field. But what
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: they did against Arizona is provide some explosion plays, some
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: chunk plays that opened things up that allowed them to breathe.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It allowed the defense to rest. It allowed the offense
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: not to be facing third and 16 every five minutes. So,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: That's what the Broncos are. What you saw the Broncos yesterday,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: that's the team. I guess that's the ideal game and
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: maybe why Sean Payton was so happy afterwards because that's
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: as good.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: As it gets.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I hate to say offensively that's all you got, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: that's what they are. And you're right, watching Bo run
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: and watching him, it was almost metaphoric. What's the word
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I'm looking for? Because he's running into open space. And
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: if he had long hair, you could see his hair
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: just flowing in the wind.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Vic, I got it. It was Forrest Gump when he's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: being chased by the dudes in the truck and the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: braces snap off his legs. And it's like, oh, it's there.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: It was Mel Gibson running to freedom. Follow me to
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: freedom in Braveheart. It was a guy saying, here I am.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Take me. And he felt so free, and the offense
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: freed up, and he's in the end zones the next day,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and the game changes. You know that when the Broncos
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: score a running touchdown from Bo Nix, they lost their
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: first game ever doing that. They lost to Seattle. Since
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: that game, his first game ever in the pros, they've
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: won nine straight games in which he has scored a
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: rushing touchdown.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because, Vic, it's– look, man, it's part of– It's
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a huge part of his game. Like, if I told
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: you Josh Allen, who is an MVP quarterback and does both,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: he runs the football great and throws the ball great.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: If Josh Allen just didn't run the football, would he
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: still be a good quarterback, Vic? Yeah, of course he would.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: He'd still be good. But he's great because he can
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: do both. And I think what that one run did,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: first of all, gave Bo Nix an immense amount of confidence. Secondly...
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It made the defense think a little bit, didn't it? Like,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: if we leave, if we play super soft as safeties,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and we leave 10 yards of green in front of
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix, he's going to take it. He took off
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and run later in the game, too. He entered the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: game with 37 rushing yards on the season. He doubled
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that in a single game last night, or yesterday. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, it hit me like, that's it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: That's what they need. Because you mentioned something, Vic, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: this is the truth. with how good your defense is,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you don't need a great offense. If you are a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: middle-of-the-road offense, you will beat teams comfortably exactly like you
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: did yesterday. Those eke-it-out three-point field goal wins now become
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: two-touchdown wins because that's all your defense needs.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Is a little bit of a boost.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I just, I loved... I'm so happy that we're coming
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to the radio on a Monday morning talking about, yes,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I liked what I saw from the offense. Because you
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: know what else you got, Vic?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: J.K.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Dobbins, I think you saw it in his face. He
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: scored a touchdown and didn't look very excited about it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I think he knows his job just got taken from him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Jonah Coleman, Legwald said it on Thursday to us. He
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: used the word decisiveness in the run game. He puts
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: his foot in the ground and goes, and it's very clear.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: 61 offensive snaps yesterday. 30 of those at running back
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: went to Jonah Coleman. You know how many J.K. Dobbins
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: had of the remaining 31? He had 14 snaps.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: That was it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: That's a difference maker, and I was talking to Coach
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Sanford about it yesterday. The difference is this. He has
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: forward lean. You've heard that term before, forward lean from
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: a running back? And when Jonah Coleman runs, they had
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: that fourth and one play. They had a couple other
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: plays where they needed a first down. Just let him
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: lean forward. It's a simple concept. But here's a guy
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: that carried the ball only nine times, 54 yards, averaged
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: six a carry. I would have never guessed that a
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: rookie running back can make a difference in the run game,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: but he did.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fourth rounder that we haven't really seen play, but
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you just saw it. He's the kind of guy he
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: falls forward easily. He will make a guy miss or
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: break off a tackle to get an extra yard or two,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and that stuff matters, especially within this offense. And I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: think that he's giving a clear answer to this. When
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: we ask the question in the running game, is it
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the running backs or is it the offensive line not
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: opening up holes or is it the scheme of the offense?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I think Jonah Coleman's like, no, you just get the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: ball and you run forward. That's what you do. I'll
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: make it very simple. You get six yards to carry
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: by just making a decision and going. And I think
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: that we saw that from him. We haven't seen that
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: from the other two guys. But it was just all
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: of it kind of put together. The numbers weren't, like,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: overwhelming yesterday. But you said it, Vic. They don't have
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to be for this team to be successful. They just
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: need to be competent. And you will beat a lot
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: of football teams. I just watched the Chiefs yesterday. Last night,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you see that? The first really tough team that the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Chiefs have faced outside the Broncos in the first week
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: of the season where they played terrible? The Chiefs got
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: some issues against a good defense.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Do we owe Bo Nix an apology for? After the
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: game against Seattle, he was eviscerated here. And it started
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: with Ryan Fitzpatrick, and a lot of people said that's
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: just unacceptable quarterback play. But if you look at his stats,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Bo Nix's stats against Seattle, line him up next to
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes last night against Seattle, Bo Nix was... in
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: almost every category, better than Patrick Mahomes against Seattle. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: what do I do with that information? Last night, Patrick
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Mahomes went 19-33 against Seattle. Completion percentage of 57. 165
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: passing yards. He had a pick. No touchdowns. His passer
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: rating was 58. Bo Nix against Seattle was 71. Bo
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Nix was better in every department except the passing yards.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And his team won.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Um, what do I do with that information?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Well, Seattle's defense is really good. And we knew that when,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: when Fitzpatrick, yeah, here's what's maybe you're right. The competitiveness
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: thing that he was talking about was like willing to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: take a hit, not run out of bounds.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's a.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Part of it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I just, I'm so happy that it feels like the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: chains have been broken from his lack of confidence in
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the running part of this.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I guess all I'm saying, I'm making the comp with
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Mahomes because are they doing this on morning radio in
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Kansas City? Are they waking up this morning saying, yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Mahomes ain't it? Yeah, Mahomes just is not competing. Mahomes
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: is disrespecting the position. Yeah, he's got a resume behind that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: But you understand that was the worst performance of Mahomes ever. Yeah.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: And that's what Seattle does. Not to mention, Vic, Kenneth
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Walker got nothing. What did he have, 14 carries for
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: like 38 yards or something?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. He had nothing.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: And I'm not trying to, listen, I'm not dumb. I
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: understand Mahomes has a resume in Super Bowls, and he
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: can carry that and show it to anybody. All I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: saying is, were we wrong in assuming that Bo was, quote, washed?
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Well- If I say we, because I didn't assume that,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: but that was the, that was the topic of choice
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: last week.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: The difference though, Vic is that game against Seattle. Didn't
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: look much different than the other games that he's played
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: That one looked very different from a homes. And I
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: think it's like what's led into that game. Remember the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: conversation going into the Seattle game was, Hey, the offense
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: needs to pick it up and bone Knicks needs to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: play better and they need to push the ball downfield.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And it was just more of the same, actually worse.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Than what we saw before that. So I just think
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it's different circumstances. But I still. I'll go back to this.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: This was Bo Nix last week. In talking about his ankle.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So that's him last week. And I think we all
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: saw the hesitancy. Again he had 37 rushing yards going
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: into the game yesterday. And then he doubled that in
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a single game. Now a lot of that off of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that big touchdown run.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: But it's.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: It's such an ingrained part. Of his quarterback skills.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: That.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: That if he doesn't do that, then you take away
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: a big threat that he poses to a defense. And
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I'm just glad it happened yesterday because it does feel
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: like– I mean, think about this, Vic. Since that touchdown run,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix and this Broncos offense, it was a 13-6
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: game when he took off and ran for that. The
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: subsequent drives afterwards– Where they did have a three and
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: out the next drive, then it was the end of half.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Second half, it was touchdown drive, touchdown drive, field goal, punt,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: game over. It just felt like he got you more
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: in the rhythm. That's it. And I think that part
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: of it, I think he builds confidence with his legs.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: It's why we talked about earlier in the season, maybe
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you drop some designed quarterback runs to get him in
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the flow of a game better.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: But.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I just liked his demeanor. He came out of the gates,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: first play of the game, fired one over the middle
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of the field to Cortland Sutton in traffic. And it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: just like that mindset alone off that first play told
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: a different story.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad that they did that to start the game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can't tell you how effective I think
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: that was just to get him going, to start the engine. Again,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I spent the weekend helping my brother start his snowblower.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Remember how he couldn't start mine and we sold it?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: He's prepping for what's to come.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: He's prepping. So he couldn't start his. And I said,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: you know what? I'm not going to give up on
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: this one. I'm going to go big from the get-go.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: So we took apart the cover that held the carburetor
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: and sprayed some starter fluid in there. And we got
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: that sucker started. We got it started. And I'm so proud.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: That was your Bo Nix touchdown run?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was my Bo Nix moment. That thing is
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: off and running. And it looks normal again. And I'm
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: here to tell you, it can be done.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Sometimes by force.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: 303-504-0925.

  Speaker 2: We're the only ones doing it. We don't have an adult.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Watching over us, seeing what we're doing. I don't know

  Speaker 2: what I'm doing. I'm just moving buttons on a board.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Everything's working, though.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Where's Mosher? Is he with Nelly somewhere?
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know. That was the thing.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Mosher got in late last night. It might be one
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: of those things where he pops on. But if he
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: does that and I try and figure this out on
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the fly, this could be really fun. Nelly's okay. He's
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: just not here this morning. By the way, I do
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: want to give a shout out. Josh Grismer over there.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: He does his own show on Mix 100, but Josh
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: got us on TV and on YouTube and Twitch this morning,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: so shout out to Josh. Stepping in. Everybody's stepping in,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: making some plays happen. Speaking of, get back to the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Broncos in a moment. What did you think of Saturday night, Vic?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: What was your reaction? Was it, yay, what a comeback,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: or was it, why did we need that?
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I've been prepping for For this show for about 48 hours.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Because I knew that this subject matter would come up.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Especially what was said after the game. And you know
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: what was said. I think it resonated with a lot
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: of Nuggets fans. During that game, for those who were
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: there in the arena, the Nuggets played very poorly in
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: the first half. Very poorly going into the third quarter.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: There was booing that took place during the game from
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: the hometown fans. I could hear it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I'm there.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I'm at the arena. I'm in the studio. Now, it
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: wasn't overbearing. It wasn't like, oh, my God. It was
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: just a smattering of this ain't good enough. And then,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: of course, the boos turned to cheers when the Nuggets
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: overcame a 23-point deficit, 19-point deficit in the fourth quarter,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: and they won the game the way the Nuggets normally do.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: That's what they do. That's who they are.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: And then afterwards, each of the players were asked about
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: the crowd and what took place. And Nikola Jokic took
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: a very aggressive stance and said it's unacceptable to get
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: booed by hometown fans. Now, you can't play the sound, correct?
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: You're unable playing the role of Nelly and Kane to play.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I am attempting.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I'm attempting, but not right now, no.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, so you can't take your new position that far?
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Not yet.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: So you are a Swiss Army knife type broadcaster, but
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: to be able to push a button... that plays the
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: sound that everyone heard, that is very, very easy to
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: access online, you can't do that from your seat.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: It's a lot more than you think it is over here, Vic.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: It's a lot. Look, Swiss Army Knives are great.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: How many buttons are in front of you right now?
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: How many?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I have four computer screens, and I don't know
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: which one goes to what. So, again, we're doing that.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Just hit a button. Just hit something. I want to
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: see the result of you taking action on a button.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Here we go. I can do that.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I can do that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: So just to let people know what Joker said after
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: the game. He said it was unacceptable. He didn't like it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: And those fans should not come back. Should not welcome back. Now,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I didn't know if he was being truthful. I didn't
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: know if he was joking around. But apparently he was
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: pressed on it. And he was honest. I've known Nikola
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Jokic since he's arrived here as a young man. And
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I've had nothing but. the utmost respect for the way
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: he handles himself, for the way he handles the game,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: for the way he's growing into his role. I couldn't
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: imagine what it's like to be Nikola Jokic and walk
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: around with all that stardom.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: But in no way, in no way can I agree
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: with him on that. I can't. We agree to disagree.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: As a fan, you pay good money to go to
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: games in whatever sport. You pay good money To buy
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: stuff at games, you expect certain results. And if those
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: expectations aren't met, sometimes you react with a murmur, a boo.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: think it's just a reminder that the product on the
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: floor doesn't meet your expectations.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: And I think it doesn't mean you hate the team.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that you're not loyal to the team. Hell,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: it means you're more loyal to the team. It just
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: means that you're upset with the way it's being played.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Those are the same fans that were there for the
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Minnesota series and didn't like the way that ended.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: When I first saw it, though, Vic, when I first
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: saw the comments, I thought to myself, this is the
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: guy who goes out of his way to remind you, oh,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: you think this is bad, you should see what they
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: do in Serbia, right? And I'm like, why is he
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: getting bent out of shape when he kind of goes
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: to the, you should see how our fans react when
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: we lose overseas, right?
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Again, it's the first time I've actually spoken anything into
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: a microphone that went counter to what he believed. And
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I thought about it and I said, you know what?
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, we agree to disagree on this one.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make him a bad guy. He's still Joker.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: They weren't booing. And maybe he thought, maybe it's a
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: cultural thing. Maybe it's cultural.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: They're not booing you as people.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: They're both.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Your effort. They're booing the layup line that they saw
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: in the first three quarters. They're booing not the skill
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: of the player. They know you're capable of coming back.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: We've seen it. Fans have seen it. We've experienced it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: We've watched it. We know who you are. But those
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: same fans were there for the Minnesota series. which did
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: not end well. They were there for game seven, which
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: did not end well. These fans have sold out ball
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: arena for almost four years running. Four years! I never
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: thought I would live to see the day that Nuggets
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: games were sold out four years running. They're loyal to
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: the last dollar. They've worshipped you. Worshipped you. So, I'm
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: a little bit I'm not going to say offended. I'm surprised.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised at the reaction that I got.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I think the same thing. And I'll tell you this much.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: It was a great comeback. Jokic and Murray were great
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: in that game. Maybe it was something to do with
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: maybe opening night.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was just like, hey.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I think it's his way of saying, you know better.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: You know who we are.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: And maybe he was thinking that way again. A lot
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: can be lost in translation, which is why I don't
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: want to go too crazy on this. But I am never,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: ever going to side against the fan for cheering, booing. Now,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: some of them take it too far. We've talked about this.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Some of the idiots that go crazy say things. You know,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: you can't do that. You can't say certain things. You
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: can't demean a player. You can't do any of that crap.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I don't believe in that. Never have. But I've been
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: in the stands. When I do the sidelines, I sit
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: next to a group of people that I've gotten to
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: know really well. And they listen to the show, by
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: the way. And guess what? If the Nuggets don't play defense,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: if they lack energy, guess what they're going to do?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: They're going to say, come on, boo, let's go. It's
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: more of one of those. Let's go.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: One of those.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: It's not, boo, I hate you. It's not, boo, I
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: don't believe in you. It's not, boo, what have you. It's,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: come on, let's get it going. It's that. And there's
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: nothing wrong with that.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Totally agree. And I, look.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Hang on, Vic.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: You want to do an experiment live on the air?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Are you trying to push a button? Hang on.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: It's not it. It's not it. I thought I could
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: do it. I can't do it.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I thought I could.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: They don't need to come anymore.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Let's start this again.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: I'm actually so glad that you mentioned that because we
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: get booed the first home game and I think those
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: fans who booed us, they don't need to come anymore
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: because if you guys follow us, you know that we
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: never quit and we came back from much.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Worse for the situation, so if they ask me, they're.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Not welcome anymore.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: So that's what he said after the game.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Now, people are going to disagree, and that's fine. I mean, again,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: you can disagree all you want, and everybody has an
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: opinion on this. Somebody on the text lines writes in, Jeff,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Denver has the most entitled fans in the country. They
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: booed Peyton Manning. Now they're booing Joker. You should only
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: boo bad effort. What do you think they were doing, Jeff?
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: What do you think the people in the arena were
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: doing for the first three quarters? Do you think they
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: were booing the man? The three-time MVP? The best player
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: in franchise history? A guy who will have a statue
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: built after? Do you think they were booing? They were
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: booing the effort.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah. What?
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: If you're a parent and your kid isn't putting in
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: the effort, whatever, do you cheer? What do you do?
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Where are we right now with this?
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I've never understood the you need to have blind support
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: no matter what you're seeing in front of you. I
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: think that a lot of that is earned. Now, again,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: maybe first home game of the year is a little
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: early for that. Can I say this, though, Vic? Not
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to totally yank the steering wheel in a different direction,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: but can I give you something that the reason why
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: at the end of that game I wasn't upset is
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: because of this. I am so encouraged, in fact, infatuated,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I will say, with one Trev in Brazil. I think
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: that having a player that is youthful, that has athleticism,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: that gets rebounds, that's not afraid to shoot, that doesn't
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: look like he's afraid of the moment. You know how
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: upset I was this offseason when Peyton Watson walked. Because
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I'm like, that's your only young player that seems to
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: have potential.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And where are you just going to find that? And
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, we have two second round picks. I'm like,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: second round picks never work. Joker's a total unicorn. Trevin
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Brazil looks like a guy. Like, already he looks like
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: a guy. He put up 17 in 9 in 28 minutes.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: And he does look like he fits the thing that
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Peyton Watson was doing, right? Getting hands in somebody's face,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: being athletic. Blocking shots, dunking, boards, all of that.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: I left that game so encouraged for that reason is
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: that you need to find some guys. If you want
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: to be competitive for a championship this year, you have
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: to be able to go out and find multiple people,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: but certainly one that you can trust that just kind
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: of comes out of nowhere. And he's one of those
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: guys for sure.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Well, he's a, yeah, it's one game. So let's two games.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: But that one game is where he shined extremely well. Yes.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Let's calm down on making comps, but I will say
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: this to you. The athleticism from a 6'10 player is
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: exactly what the doctor ordered. Yeah.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: It's a bigger version of Peyton Watson. I knew he
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: was athletic. I mean, hell, we had him on our
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: postgame show. Told him as much. I mean, your athleticism,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: we knew that we were getting that coming. But I
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: had no idea he could shoot the three without– without
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: any compunction, that's our word we learned from last week,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: he shoots a three and lets it go and doesn't
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: worry about it. He had a couple big ones in
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: that game. He can shoot. He can jump. He can defend.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: He can rebound like a madman. He is exactly what
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: this team needed. Now that he gets scouted, I talked
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: to a couple front office people about this, you can
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: do that a few times, but as soon as opposing
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: teams start scouting you and expecting that, You're going to
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: have to do that. It's going to be a lot
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: more difficult to produce that, right?
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Because teams know who he is now and what he
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: can do. You know, I think he slipped through the cracks.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: I was talking about this with Jason Richardson, who knew
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: him when he was in college at Arkansas. He played
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: for that Arkansas team that had that A-cuff. And I
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: don't know if you've noticed, he likes to shoot the
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: ball a lot.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: A-cuff does. So Trevin Brazil never saw the ball. He
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: never got a chance to shine. He was stuck behind
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: a bunch of gunners. And that's why his stock dropped.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: I was trying to think.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: About this in the appetizer. Who did we talk to those?
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: His former coach, John Calipari.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: That was a Bryce Hopkins. It was Bryce Hopkins.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was, um, the guy who's now coaching at USC.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: What's his name?
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Um, he's now coach muscleman muscle, Eric muscleman.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And he raved about him. He's like, not only
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: is this guy a much better player than he's given
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: credit for, he's a great dude too. Um, But you
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: see it, like, it is funny, Vic, when you witness
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: a guy with just that level of athleticism and that frame,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: you are kind of like, why weren't more people more
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: enamored by this? 6'10 with a 41-inch vert? There's nobody
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: that's out jumping him.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Nope. Well, two things happened. He got hurt during his
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: college career, hurt his knee, and he played for a
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: team where they did not play team basketball at all.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: It was just a bunch of guards taking shots. So,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: How are you going to scout him if you can't
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: really see him? He's lost in that shuffle. And the
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Nuggets benefited from that. They benefited greatly. What a find.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: What a player. Hope it continues. You wonder what happens
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: tonight if they're still without Cam Johnson or Alpha Diallo.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Do you start the kid now? Do you play him
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: at that position? He played the entire fourth in overtime.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: What did you think about Hopkins getting the start?
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, they love Hopkins. And, you know, at
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: that point, they were out of players. Who else did
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: you go to? Who else would you start? Because Brazil
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: backs up AG.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe Whitmore, but I don't know.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's so early. They're experimenting, right? They're experimenting
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: right now. Somebody asked this question, and I think it's
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: a fair question. Going back to the boo thing. I
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: guess I don't want to make a big thing out
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: of it, but it's going to be a big thing
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: because it has been. And I think it'll dissipate, and
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: it's not the end of the world. They should be offended,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I guess. As a player, what's the most offensive thing
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: you can hear as a player?
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: You're soft.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Getting booed, right?
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you're booed, yeah.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: So a texter asks this question. What's worse, leaving a
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: game early or booing your team? Like leaving a game
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and losing all hope. I left the Broncos-Giants game where
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: they came back that classic fourth quarter last year. I
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: thought the game was over. I left.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Do you mean leaving for a game?
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, leaving in disgust. Like, I'm out of here.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Well, the most famous one I remember is Thursday Night
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Football when the Broncos were playing the Colts and they
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: were going to overtime and people left.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Remember that? And they were called out on national television.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: That's bad. So which one is worse? Because I think
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: when fans boo, as much as the players are disgusted
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: by it, and rightfully so, I get it. I get it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I totally understand why you would be. But it shows
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: that the fans at least care.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: They care. That's an emotion. Just like cheering is an emotion.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Clapping is an emotion. If booing is not the... Not
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: say anything? That's their way of expressing how they feel
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: about the product.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this, Vic. I don't know what's
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: going to happen here. The Avs don't play until Wednesday.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: If the Avs were at home last night and produced
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: that product.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: There is no question they get booed. And they probably should. Like,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: they're weirding me out, okay? The Avs will play a
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: game like we saw on Friday against Tampa, where it's like, okay,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: everything's back. Right as rain. And then that game yesterday. Vic,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: have the Avs had an in-between game this year? They're
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: either elite-level hockey or literally as bad as they can play.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Well, you could sense it from Coach Bednar afterwards. He said, quote,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I'm going to take some time to think about this one.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: In other words, translation, we got to make some changes
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: because this is just not acceptable.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, for sure.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: And you know what's not acceptable? The slow starts. They
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: can't get going in the first period. Look at all
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: those losses. The three on the road now, three in
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: a row on the road.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: All three.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: First period, AWOL. Just not there.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: And he can't figure out why they're not starting. What
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: is happening in the first period of these games?
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, it feels like they're a team that
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: needs to get kick-started, and I don't like that at all.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: They need to be punched in the face first before
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: they start responding, but then you get games like last
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: night where it's like, okay, well, what if you don't respond?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Or what if they don't allow you to respond? Their
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: slow starts are really bad. And they can't keep relying
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: on late comebacks and extra attackers and all that stuff.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: When Moser wakes up, because I'm sure losing the way
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: they did and he got in late, added to his
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: sleep deprivation. 2306, again, back to the booing topic. Fans
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: are the sixth man on the team. Booing is no
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: way helpful, supportive, or encouraging to the team. If one
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: of the players acted like that, they'd be benched. Denver
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: has the most entitled fans I've ever seen, and I
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: think Joker appropriately benched them. That's your opinion. Are you
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: a season ticket holder? Were you at the game? Were
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: you at the Minnesota series? That's a fan's love language,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: whether it's booing, cheering. In my opinion, that's a love language.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: That means you're in this. You're feeling this.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Expecting more of your team is not a bad thing.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I don't understand why so many people are offended by this,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: as if to think that fans are there. The fans
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: don't play.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll get back into this in a bit. 303-504-0925.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Shop Mazda, Tex-Land, one price, one person, one hour. Whole
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: bunch to get to from the football weekend, along with
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the abs and nuggets. Stick around. It's a Rally House
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Football Monday. Rally House shop every team in town. Ryan
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Harris is going to join us in about 15 minutes. Hello, Moj.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Hi there, Brett. How are you today, buddy?
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: You look terrible.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: You look awful. Yeah, I do. I appreciate that, Vic.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: You know, every now and again, I think a human
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: just needs a A good dose of reality thrown in
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: their face, and you would never disappoint. Thank you.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, you should have at least washed your face,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: put your face under cold water.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: I did last night. Yeah, I tried to get as
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: much sleep as I could, walked in the house about
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: 140 in the morning, and then tried to get to sleep.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: You know how you toss and turn after a loss
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: like that, and you wonder why the team that played
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: the night before and had to fly back from Pittsburgh
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: is the team that looks fresher and better and, you know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: getting to every loose puck and, skating all circles all
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: around you, and you're kind of stuck in molasses.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Mosier, do you think if the Avs were at home
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: last night and they produced what we saw, do you
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: think fans would have booed?
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: I think they should. I don't know if they would.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they would have been displeased, yeah. After certain moments.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Speaking of maybe, this one was more tongue-in-cheek.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Pop yourself up a little bit. What's that?
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Why don't you just pop him up on your own feed, bro?
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: What?
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: He's in the engineer's chair and you're going to tell
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: him what buttons to push? Mosher is a control freak.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I've been here all morning. I've been here all morning.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: See, you are a control freak when it comes to audio.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: You're like asking people to change knobs. He's been running
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: the show all morning, bro.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Well, you both are coming on the same feed and
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: you sound like you're living in my head and he
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: sounds like he's on the moon.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Don't touch anything.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Don't touch anything. Let's just roll, baby. Come on. We
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: got the Broncos who won. That's all that matters.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on. Let me play something for you
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: if I can. This was Bo Nix in postgame after
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: his 62-yard touchdown run talking about his ankle.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: You had told us that athletically you felt fine. You
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: believe me now?
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I do now.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Good. Through that run and what that might have done
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: for you, kind of a boost for this offense.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: We had sort of a three level shot on the
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: right and they were playing man to it.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: And so they all ended up on the other side
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: of the field and O-line gave me a nice crease there.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: And then everybody else just sort of kept their guys
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: occupied while I, while I ran and there was.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: A lot of space and I was just really hoping
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: to get in the end zone. That is to me,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: the play of the game. Like that's the one that
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: opened everything up. It's the one that made, um, the
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: offense looked normal again, their version of normal anyway, which
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: was not anything crazy productive, but good enough, competent offensive football.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: But it really, Mo, here's the comparison I made earlier.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: That run for Bo Nix felt like Forrest Gump with
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: the braces off. breaking off his legs and run for
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: his run. Like, it did feel that way from just
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: a confidence standpoint because everything else felt smoother after that.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it certainly did. By the way, I don't want
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: to be nitpicky here on this Monday morning, but I'm
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: not sure that I'm overly satisfied with a snippy little
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: start there to that question answer. I'm not sure that
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: I'm overly satisfied He.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Had a big smile on his face when he did it.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: I understand that. I know he did. But the fact
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: of the matter is he wasn't doing it. And when
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: the Red Sea parted and you see nothing but open
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: daylight from here until what side of the engine was
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: he running to? Was he running towards Mexico or is
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: he running toward Nevada? I'm trying to remember. Anyway, the
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: point is that he could have run all the way
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: to either border, to be honest with you. And it
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: was good. I mean, he looked like himself after that.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Everything was smoother after that. It was just more better.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: But by the way, that's exactly what I think should
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: have happened. What transpired is exactly what you should do.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Arizona's not good. You need to find yourself or missing
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: elements in your game. You did that, and you come
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: away with a two-touchdown win. I thought it would be
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: more than that. What was my final score, Vic?
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: I had 28-14. That was mine.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: I think I had 29-17.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Remember he tried to copy my final score last week?
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I said it midweek. I said 28-14. Remember he kept
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: trying to copy me?
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I went 29-17. I was closer than you were,
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: so stow it.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: I had a two-touchdown win. That game went exactly the
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: way I expected it to go. The Broncos got it
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: done early. They got a lead early. Play of the game,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: in my opinion, and I know we're all going to
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: talk about Bo's run because that opened things up. The R.J.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Harvey screen was phenomenal.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Do you know my favorite play of the game? It
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: resulted in a penalty. But did you see the slow-mo
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: version of Alex Singleton's hit on Jacoby Brissett?
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Up the middle.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Why was that a penalty?
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Because it's the NFL.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Because every time you touch the quarterback now, it's a penalty.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: He didn't do anything illegal there. He didn't go low.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: He didn't go high. He hit him right in the sternum.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Right in the chops. I mean, he went right where
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to go. Hit with the shoulder. He didn't
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: do anything illegal. And he got hit with a personal foul.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Did you see that hit, though, in slow-mo? How far
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett flew backwards.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Great stuff, man. And listen, the screenplay, when you want
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: to defeat a blitz, that's how you defeat a blitz.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Right there. In a nutshell. You want to tell a
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: blitz that it ain't going to get you? That's exactly
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: what you do. That's the way they should behave, though.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: They're a 14-3 team last year. They're now 5-2. To me,
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: you should go to Arizona and beat the dog butt Cardinals.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: That's what you should do.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: That's the offense in a nutshell. You're not going to
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: get some– you're just not. You're not going to get
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: a dynamic, hey, they're going to run it up and
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: down the field and sustain five or six great drives.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: It's not going to happen. But what they gave us,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: what they gave themselves yesterday, was chunk plays, explosion plays,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: big plays that at least allow you to breathe and
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: let your hair down.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Can I give you guys a couple of things of
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: note from that game and just see what you think
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: of these? 61 offensive snaps. Jonah Coleman had 30 of
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: them at the running back position. Harvey had 16. Dobbins
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: had 14. So Jonah's your your feature back now yeah
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: sure looks like it yep yeah he sure is here's
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: the other one carries 54 yards 6.6.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Yards per carry how about this Brett how about this
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: until he proves he can't do it then he do.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: It totally agree here's the other one what do you
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: guys make of this remember 60 snaps on offense 61
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Adam Troutman had 37 snaps at tight end. Nate Atkins
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: had 24. Evan Ingram had 24.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: They'll go with blocking tight ends to get the run
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: game going.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Just interesting.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Just interesting.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: How many times did Pelcheski check in his tackle eligible?
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Quite a few.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Like they, they made a commitment to get things going.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this much, something else. And just looking
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: at these snaps on the defensive side, um, This dude
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: only played 38 snaps, 47% of them. Did Malcolm Roach
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: make a play on all 38 snaps that he had?
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: He was unreal.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Because he was a monster.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: He was unreal.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: He was so damn good.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: He was great.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Dumbest play of the game or call of the game
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: wasn't just the Alex Singleton and somebody chimed in and
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: said he led with the helmet. Go back and look.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: He hit him with the shoulder.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: In the midsection.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: In the midsection. What do you mean he led with
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: the helmet? So if a guy's charging a quarterback or
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: running back, a guy's charging him, What is he supposed
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: to lead with?
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: What?
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Is he supposed to turn his body and lead with
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: his feet?
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think I do. Again, I don't know.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: What is he supposed to do there?
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know. This is, again, to me, like these
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: vague rules in hockey. It's I don't know what I
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: don't know. So maybe I need a league tutorial. I
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: would love the NFL to come out and say, this
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: is why we called most. And this is why we
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: called that.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: They flagged the violence. They flagged the violence.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: They didn't flag the play.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: They saw the violence. They saw the result of the play.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: They saw Brissette.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Fly in the air five feet, almost like he was levitating,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: and they flagged the violence. And that's wrong. You can't
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: flag violence in football because it's a violent sport. The
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: other flag that was ridiculous, absolutely insane, was the Riley
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Moss P.I., where I thought, did I miss something? Am
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: I missing a camera angle on this? What am I missing?
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: What am I missing that they flag Riley Moss for
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: a perfect defensive play?
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: That wasn't perfect. He's white. It's the only thing I get.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not even kidding. It's a reputation call. The only
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: way that Riley Moss gets a call of PI on
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: that play is because, oh, that's Riley Moss. I've never
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: seen a better defended play as far as what you
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: can do as a corner. It's so stupid. But, um, Look,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: you're able to survive this. Think about what you've done.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: You've been missing Mufanga, you've been missing Pat Sertan, and
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: you continue to rack up wins over and over again.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: And look, I know that the Cardinals aren't any world
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: beaters in the NFL, but can I say something about them?
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: They're a competent football team. They're pretty disciplined. They can
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: move the football. They just aren't very talented, and there's
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: a difference. Like, they aren't stupid, but they don't have any, like,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Outside of what, Buda Baker and Trey McBride? Who are
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: the all pros on that team?
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Dude, Trey McBride is just ridiculous.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: He's so good.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: It pains me to know that a guy from Colorado
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: who wanted to play for the Broncos, his home state team,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: he grew up loving the Broncos, went to CSU, Fort
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Morgan pride, and he ends up in Arizona just toasting fools.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: That guy's unstoppable.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he is. I guess my fear for him is,
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: is that he's going to have a Larry Fitzgerald career
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: where he's going to be a future Hall of Famer,
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: but nobody really even notices because he plays in Arizona
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: and the Cardinals don't win a whole lot.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Dude, he gets a million targets a game.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: I know he does, and rightfully so because he's that good.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's a total stud. He was targeted 13
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: times yesterday. 13 times he was targeted, which is by
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: far and above the most on his team or the
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: most on any team, either team.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Um, I just, it's what I felt like the Broncos
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: were capable of.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: It's funny.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: I was talking to DMACC in the pregame and he's,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: he said that I was the first one that exercised
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: caution about the game and it wasn't caution that they
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: were going to lose. He said, what do you think
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: is going to happen? I go, well, the Broncos are
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: going to win. I just don't think it's going to
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: feel great because no game has felt great. And the
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: difference in this game was, and here's what I said,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Mo literally your offense couldn't play worse. They're like worst
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: in the league running the football or one of the
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: worst or one of the worst in the league passing
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: the football. If that is how low the bar is
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: set on offense and you're four and two through that schedule,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: think about what your team could look like if your
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: offense was just okay.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: And they were just okay yesterday and they beat the
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: snot out of the Cardinals. Right. Like they had control
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: the entire way during that game with just competent level
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: offense and nothing more. And I really think that's all
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: it takes. You put that together with this defense, there's
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: a really good shot because you're so good at home.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: You're going to beat Kansas City this weekend. You've got
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: a really good shot to do it. Now all of
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: a sudden you're in control of the AFC West again.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: It's that simple. If you just get this level of offense,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: I think you can win this division again.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: It's amazing how things change, perception changes. The Denver Broncos
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: are 5-2, and they survived. The toughest six-game stretch to
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: start a season they've ever had. They're 5-2 right now.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: They're 5-2 after that.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: It's pretty.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: If you would have told me this in August, I
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: would take it all day and also all night. Or
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: maybe even more. Because I would have taken, at this
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: point in the season, 4-3. But a week ago, the
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: mindset and the.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Regurgitation of Information and gloom and doom was, on this
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: radio show, on airwaves all over Denver, it was far different.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: Well, but Vic, there's a reason for that. And let
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: me defend me and defend you.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Defend you? Hey, defend me.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Well, let me defend. They didn't earn any love on
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: the offensive side of the ball. They played like crap.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: They've been awful for the most part, okay? And then
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: so what he says, you believe me now? I believe you.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: I believed you before, which is why I didn't understand
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: why you weren't doing it. You see what I'm saying?
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: I don't think your leg's ready to fall off, Bo.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: I wondered why a guy who in his rookie year
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: through the first six games had 137 yards rushing came
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: into this game in week seven as a guy who
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: had 31 yards rushing. I wondered why.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: We can ask more of that with Ryan Harris, who
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: joins us next.
