2:29
Awesome. Well, I know you do.
2:31
I know you think it's awesome. And ladies and gentlemen, we
2:34
have a lot of fun with this guy. This guy's been on a show quite
2:36
a few times. He's become one of those big
2:39
writers and analysts right now for the very own Denver Broncos.
2:43
We are now talking to Mile High Huddle Broncos and NFL analysts,
2:47
the one, the very own Lance Sanderson.
2:51
Lance, what's up, man? Not a whole lot.
2:54
Thanks for having me back on the show, guys.
2:56
It's been a minute. I unfortunately had some family
2:58
issues come up the last time I was supposed to come on the
3:00
show. But glad to be here.
3:02
Excited to talk to Denver Broncos with you guys and
3:04
hopefully we, you know. I flood up some.
3:07
Stuff every now and then, but guess what?
3:08
I'm here bringing some freaking heat.
3:10
Tonight, now I'm going to say something.
3:11
I don't know if anybody knows who Lance is.
3:13
He's been on our show quite a few times.
3:15
When Lance came on the show, he wasn't the biggest known analyst
3:19
for the Broncos. And over the last three years
3:22
he's grown significantly. And now his his podcast is doing
3:26
significantly well. He's doing a lot of things with
3:30
the Denver Broncos. He's one of their big lead
3:32
analysts and we're very happy to have him on the show.
3:35
And the Broncos are a very good team right now, expected to win
3:38
their division. What does that tell you, Travis?
3:40
I'm just kidding. Anyways, I want to get into
3:43
obviously the division as the Kansas City Chiefs have been
3:46
dominating that division over the last eight years.
3:49
It's been absolutely dominated by Andy Reed, Patrick Mahomes,
3:53
Travis Kelsey and their goons. You have Bo Nicks who had a
3:57
sensational rookie year, 25 year old kid really developed right
4:01
in front of her eyes the second-half of the season, took
4:03
his team to the playoffs and it just was sensational all the way
4:07
through. Was making so many significant
4:09
throws and I think could be a superstar in this league with
4:13
Sean Payton developing them. What were your thoughts last
4:16
year and where do you see him with his development this year?
4:19
Well, I, I think the big thing here, Errol, is that what you
4:22
saw out of Bonics was mostly linear growth.
4:25
I mean, obviously the first week against the the Seattle Seahawks
4:27
was an atrocious outing for him. It took a couple weeks for him.
4:31
The Pittsburgh game was really bad. 345 weeks into the season.
4:35
You finally actually started to see him get a little bit more
4:38
comfortable within the offense, getting the play calls out
4:41
because Sean Payton, you know how he is.
4:43
You guys talked about the Saints earlier that Sean Payton's play
4:46
calls are like 25 or 30 words long.
4:48
He's got multiple different formations, he's got multiple
4:51
different alignments, he's got multiple different instructions
4:54
for every single player. And it takes a lot to just to be
4:57
able to learn that. But one thing with Bo Nix was
5:00
when the in the pre draft process, Sean Payton really
5:03
liked his ability to process all that information, relay it back
5:06
out quickly, then go out on the field and translate that to what
5:10
was actually supposed to be happening.
5:11
It took a while, but when you watch the season go, that linear
5:15
growth, it was a not, I don't want to say a straight line.
5:18
The Indianapolis game where he threw 3 interceptions, that was
5:20
that was a really bad game for him.
5:22
Great defensive game plan from the Indianapolis Colts.
5:24
But he continued to grow and continue to grow and continue to
5:28
grow. And everyone's all excited about
5:30
Jaden Daniels. But Bonex finished the season
5:32
with more passing yards, more passing touchdowns and less
5:35
interceptions than Jane Daniels, the guy who unanimously won the
5:39
the NFL rookie of the year this last season.
5:42
So he's doing such a great job in terms of just being a a
5:46
competitor. I mean, I got a bunch of like a
5:48
handful of stats here. You know, when you, when you
5:49
talk about like completion percentage over expected, one of
5:52
the biggest metrics you can talk about in terms of quarterback
5:54
play -2.4% completion percentage over expected, 32nd in the NFL.
5:59
That doesn't sound great though, right?
6:00
Like that sounds pretty bad. 32 quarterbacks in the NFL, he's
6:03
32nd. Pat Mahomes was at -1 point
6:07
730th in the league. Josh Allen -.3 percent, 23rd in
6:11
the league. Go back and see why completion
6:14
percentage over expense expected matters.
6:17
There's a lot of screen passes in the quick passing game.
6:19
I mean, 31% of his quick passing attempts went on screenplay.
6:23
It was most in the NFL by three percentage points.
6:26
But he also led the NFL in yards passing outside of the pocket.
6:29
Per NFL Next Gen. Stats, he was 12th in the NFL in
6:33
in terms of success rate and throws that went at least 20
6:36
area yards. This dude had some struggles
6:38
early, but down the stretch he became what is a very capable
6:42
starting quarterback. And now that he's more like more
6:44
focused on and more familiar with this offense, I think he's
6:48
going to have a big jump in Year 2.
6:50
So last time you were on the show, you were mentioning you
6:52
wanted the Broncos to focus on running back in tight end in the
6:54
offseason to get better in the middle of the field.
6:57
They draft RJ Harvey in the second round of the draft.
6:59
They signed JK Dobbins, and then they signed Giants legend Evan
7:01
Ingram. What are your thoughts of those
7:03
moves? Well, first and foremost, Evan
7:06
Ingram is one of those players that while he is like qualified
7:10
as a tight end, he doesn't do necessarily very well as like an
7:13
inline blocker. He's more of a like a receiving
7:15
tight end. They're going to line him up in
7:16
the slot this year and go back to the the preseason game
7:20
against the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, it's preseason.
7:22
Bonex wasn't the one throwing the football, but they ran A5
7:25
yard drag route that he turned into a 58 yard run after the
7:27
catch. It was a freaking amazing play.
7:30
So that to me right off the bat is a just a huge boon for this
7:33
passing attack. And going back to Bonex here,
7:36
the Broncos threw their tight ends the second fewest of any
7:39
team in the NFL on a on a percentage basis, behind or
7:42
ahead of only the New York Giants, who had the worst tight
7:46
end group in the NFL last season.
7:47
So to get an explosive playmaker to add to what a Courtland
7:50
Sutton to add to Martin Mims to add to a a third round draft
7:54
pick and Pat Bryant, who I think is going to have a monster
7:57
season this year as their number 2 wide wide receiver that that's
8:00
just another big get to add more explosive plays for this for
8:04
this Broncos offense. Now going to to the the running
8:07
backroom. You obviously talked about RJ
8:09
Harvey, they bring in JK Dobbins from the Los Angeles Chargers.
8:13
Obviously, you know what 5th year player out of Ohio State,
8:15
He was an explosive player at Ohio State, was one of the in,
8:20
in terms of explosive runs, was one of the best explosive
8:23
runners at Ohio State and had 900 yards in 14 games for the
8:27
Chargers this last season. But then you add on RJ Harvey,
8:30
60th overall or 61st overall, something like that for the
8:33
Broncos in the second round. There is only one player in
8:37
college football last season that had more rushes of 15 plus
8:42
yards than RJ Hardy. Can you guys name that player
8:45
for me just one time? Genti.
8:48
It's Ashton Genti who went six overall to the freaking Los
8:50
Angeles Raiders or the Las Vegas Raiders.
8:52
Like this Broncos team. They they they brought in 86% of
8:58
the roster that went to the playoffs last season and then
9:01
they add players like Evan Ingram, RJ Harvey, JK Dobbins to
9:05
the offense. They bring in Talano Hufonga and
9:08
Drake Greenlott to add to the defense that was one of the best
9:10
in the NFL last season. This Broncos team, in the way
9:13
that it is structured right now, has a very good opportunity to
9:17
not only make the playoffs, but make some noise in the playoffs
9:19
coming up this year. Yeah, Lance, we, we talked about
9:22
what you felt like they needed. Do you think they did enough and
9:25
brought in some of the guys in the names that you said to not
9:28
only like you to to go and and make some noise, but to to
9:32
really do some damage on both sides of the ball?
9:34
Yeah, absolutely. And Job, I'm glad that you're
9:37
here tonight because last time I was on and was talking with you,
9:40
you said your son is a huge Broncos fan.
9:43
Huge. I'm curious to what his thoughts
9:46
are. I mean, you're obviously a
9:47
Lincoln NE guy and the pitching in Nebraska you did was
9:50
legendary in Omaha World Series. But but just going back to this
9:55
Broncos team, I mean, they added enough explosiveness to the
9:58
offense and hopefully Bo Nicks has that that year or two jump
10:02
that you want to see from quarterbacks.
10:04
But defensively, that's really where it's at.
10:06
And coach. So Aaron Fischer is in in the
10:09
chat here saying I want to hear about Jon and Baron, the 20th
10:12
overall pick for this Broncos defense.
10:13
You're talking about a player that has inside, outside
10:15
versatility. He can play the safety right
10:18
now. It doesn't sound like he's going
10:19
to be a starter for this defense because Jaquan McMillan, who was
10:22
an outstanding slot quarterback for them, is probably going to
10:25
start at least for the beginning part of this season.
10:28
So John A Baron is another player that brings physicality
10:31
to this defense. It sounds like that's what the
10:32
Broncos were really trying to focus on the most on the
10:35
defensive side of the football was shoring up the interior run
10:39
lanes. In terms of what is happening at
10:41
the second level, bring in Drake Greenlaw, bring in a guy like
10:43
Talano Hufonga who plays better in the box.
10:46
And then you bring in a guy like Jade Baron who has, like I said,
10:48
that inside, outside versatility, but is an
10:50
absolutely elite tackler at the second level.
10:53
This defense that was already very good last year just got a
10:57
lot better. As everybody knows, we are
11:00
talking to Mile High Huddle, Broncos and NFL analysts Lance
11:04
Sanderson. You know, Lance, we look at the
11:07
Broncos and they're an organization that needed to
11:10
rebuild. They added Russell Wilson.
11:12
They paid him a lot of money. They traded for him.
11:15
And obviously if they fell flat on their face, then they made a
11:18
trade with the Saints to bring in Sean Payton, who retired,
11:22
walked away from the game. They gave up a significant
11:25
amount to bring Sean Payton in. He took on Russell Wilson.
11:28
It didn't work for for a year. They finally took on that money
11:32
and say go ahead. Well, we'll take care of the
11:34
money. Just get the hell out of here.
11:36
They went for Bonex. They and and now you see the
11:39
team, it's starting to transform into Sean Payton's team.
11:43
It took a while, it took a couple of years, which he said
11:46
it was going to do. And now they have a chance right
11:49
now to dethrone a team like the Kansas City Chiefs that have
11:53
been dominant for the last eight seasons in in a division that
11:57
was really them the the Kansas City Chiefs and everybody else.
12:01
Now you see Kansas City, they're getting older.
12:04
They're obviously they're superstar players like Jones,
12:07
Patrick Mahomes is still fairly young, but Kelsey is on the tail
12:10
end of his career. They I, I don't know how long
12:13
Hunt and Pacheco have in the NFL.
12:16
They have an offensive line that they decided at the, you know,
12:19
in the offseason to trade Toony to the Chicago Bears.
12:22
They added maybe a little bit more talent to the offensive
12:25
line, but they're an older team than they have been.
12:29
You look at now, the Broncos, they're one of the youngest
12:31
teams, one of the more talented, young own talented teams right
12:34
now in the NFL. Where do you?
12:36
See them match up against the Kansas City Chiefs this year.
12:40
Well, quite honestly, I think the Broncos have an opportunity
12:42
to dethrone the Chiefs, but until I actually see it, I can't
12:46
really believe it. I mean, the Kansas City has won
12:49
the division, if not 8-9, if like 9 out of the last ten
12:53
seasons, if not even all 10. Yeah, the Broncos Super Bowl was
12:56
the last time the Broncos won the division.
12:58
Yeah, exactly. And man, that doesn't feel like
13:01
a decade ago. Like quite honestly, I remember
13:03
that like I was like yesterday, to tell you the truth.
13:06
But with Kansas City, I mean, the big thing is obviously that
13:09
offensive line is, is the real big issue.
13:11
You you move on from Joe Toomey at left cards and play left
13:14
tackle in the Super Bowl and did a really good job filling in on
13:17
on that left tackle there. They go out and they get Josh
13:19
Simmons, who have heard a lot of raving reviews from the people I
13:23
talked with in Kansas City. And it sounds like that
13:25
offensive line is going to be better.
13:28
But the Denver Broncos led the NFL last season with 63 sacks.
13:32
It was a franchise record. 61 1/2 of those sacks are back on
13:37
this roster right now. The only player that had 1 1/2
13:40
sacks that is not back is linebacker Cody Barton, who the
13:43
Broncos upgraded to Drake Greenlaw.
13:47
That's a tell me that that doesn't make you excited about
13:51
what this Broncos team can bring and when with Patrick Mahomes,
13:55
sure, he does a great job like extending plays, moving
13:57
vertically throughout the pocket.
13:59
Edge pressure is really where it's at.
14:01
It causes him the big time disruptions.
14:03
You've got Nick Benito, who came off a career, a career high 13
14:06
1/2 sacks last season. He was #3 in the NFL.
14:09
He's looking at getting a a big time contract extension probably
14:12
following this season. By the way, I've got some inside
14:14
sources on this that it sounds like he wants to wait until at
14:17
least Micah Parsons gets his deal done, but also that he
14:21
wants to wait until after the season.
14:22
Kind of a cruded deal. He's betting betting on himself
14:24
for the most. But 13 1/2 sacks coming off the
14:27
edge, then you get a guy like Jonathan Cooper who had 8 1/2
14:31
sacks. He may not be the most explosive
14:32
pass rusher in the NFL, but if that's your number two guy, you
14:35
get what, 21 sacks? If you if you have those numbers
14:38
together between those two guys coming off the edge and with
14:42
Patrick Mahomes, when you have edge pressure coming around the
14:45
outside, that's where it is like one of his biggest weak marks is
14:48
as a quarterback. So to me, I think defensively
14:52
that you add Johnny Baron, you add Greenlawn, you you add
14:56
Talano Hufanga. Rashi Rice is suspended for the
14:59
first six games. It doesn't matter for the
15:01
Broncos, but you got to see how fast he's going to be able to
15:03
catch it back up. Denver's defense has always been
15:06
very capable of stopping the homes.
15:07
I mean, go back to the game last season where the Broncos were in
15:10
Kansas City drove down to actually go and kick a
15:14
game-winning field goal. It was blocked.
15:16
It was a 35 yard game-winning field goal.
15:18
The Broncos and Bo Nicks took a 4 minute drive down to like 3
15:22
seconds left to beat the Chiefs in Kansas City.
15:25
Denver's there like they can absolutely compete with Kansas
15:28
City in this division. It's just until I actually see
15:31
it and actually watch it happen. Not a 30.
15:34
You don't want to jinx yourself. OK, that's fine.
15:36
I'll jinx yourself for you, all right?
15:39
They're absolutely unless there's some catastrophical
15:42
injury that the Broncos are going to have, the Broncos
15:46
should win the division. They're much better than Kansas
15:48
City from top to bottom 53 man roster.
15:52
I don't think you can. And you, like you said, you they
15:54
had a green lawn, they added Hafunga.
15:56
I mean, this team has, it's absolutely loaded.
15:59
The secondary would be the best secondary in football you can
16:02
argue. That it's scary.
16:06
There's no argument. It is 100% is and you're
16:09
bringing 10 guys to the full, which is Broncos kept 5
16:12
quarterbacks and five safeties. Brandon Jones, I don't know, You
16:15
guys probably don't even recognize the name safety.
16:18
The Dolphin safety. Yeah, he was, yeah, he was
16:20
former former Miami Dolphin. He came, he came into Denver and
16:24
they asked him to play a lot more single high.
16:26
He was the number two safety in the NFL according to Pro
16:29
Football Focus coverage grade at free safety last season at over
16:33
90.3%. Like this dude is a fantastic
16:37
player. You had another guy that like,
16:39
like you fungi that can play in the box.
16:41
You bring in green lot Alex Singleton's coming back from a
16:43
from a torn ACL that derailed his season early on.
16:46
And you, you upgrade the linebacker room.
16:48
Then you add another player like Jade Baron.
16:50
This defense is absolutely freaking spectacular guys.
16:54
And they look like it. I mean it.
16:56
I understand it's pre season. The, the, the depth of this unit
16:58
looks very solid. But what we've, what we're
17:01
hearing out of Broncos camp, what I've seen at Broncos camp,
17:04
this defense is. Lights out, guys.
17:07
It's crazy, crazy good. Yeah, there are.
17:10
There are people in the media around Denver, like comparing
17:13
them to the 2015 Broncos defense.
17:15
That's like one of the best defenses in NFL history.
17:17
Seriously, it's that good. Yeah, I want to reference back
17:20
to obviously what everyone's saying about the Chiefs, like
17:23
you don't want to beat them by blitzing type thing because of
17:25
Mahomes doing it against the blitz.
17:26
Now we've known Vance Joseph in the past has been blitz happy.
17:29
Like where where are your thoughts with the Broncos
17:31
defense? Do they have to emphasize that
17:32
kind of game plan more often? What are the percentages?
17:34
Maybe the mix it up too. So I have NFL pro hold up really
17:40
fast. It might take me a second here,
17:41
but I know the Broncos were, I think #3 in terms of blitz
17:44
percentage last season, yeah, I know it's pretty high.
17:46
I didn't know how high it was. Yeah, it's, it's ridiculously
17:50
high. They were, they were right
17:51
behind the the Minnesota Vikings.
17:53
So give me just one second here if I can, if I can find it.
18:01
I cannot get my computer to work all of a sudden anyways.
18:04
No, it's like defense. That's the right one.
18:10
Here we go. Now I'm I'm actually on the
18:11
right track here in terms of blitz percentage.
18:17
Maybe. Regardless, it really quite
18:19
honestly, it doesn't matter. I know that the Broncos were one
18:23
of the the highest blitz percentage defenses which also
18:26
combined into their uses of man coverage.
18:30
They were second I believe only behind the Minnesota Vikings and
18:34
Brian Flores and Bush percentage combined with man covered
18:36
percentage on the back end in the NFL last season.
18:39
That's what they prioritize. They want to get after the
18:42
quarterback. They led the NFL in total
18:44
pressures last year. And they also have a guy on the
18:46
interior in Zach Allen who is incredibly underappreciated from
18:50
what he brings. He led all NFL interior
18:52
defensive lineman in pressures and was third in sacks, only
18:56
behind I believe it's Chris Jones and Jeffrey Simmons.
18:59
Jalen Carter, excuse me? Like this dude can get after it
19:02
too. They are going to bring pressure
19:04
again, They're going to play tight man coverage.
19:06
And when you have the defensive player of the year and pass for
19:08
Tan on the outside. And again, adding Jonny Baron,
19:12
Riley Moss, a player who when Riley Moss went down last season
19:16
in this like 4 weeks with the spraying MCL, the defense took a
19:19
big time drop off because they started to play more zone and
19:22
teams were able to exploit that. When you have this defense
19:25
healthy and they're attacking and attacking and attacking like
19:28
Fanchos wants to do, it's the best defense in the NFL all
19:31
right now. So, Lance, obviously, you know,
19:34
it's betting is a huge part, fantasy is a huge part too.
19:37
And just going and looking at and obviously I'm I'm a
19:40
bipartisan Broncos fan because of my son.
19:44
I asked Carter if he had any questions, but of course, if it
19:46
has nothing to do with his needs or once he doesn't answer me
19:49
back, but if he needs something like rent was due for his new
19:52
place in college, he should have told me that today.
19:54
So yeah, that's good for you. I'm looking to.
20:00
They have it set at 9 1/2. Are you taking the overs on that
20:03
Is is kind of what I'm hearing for more than more the wins on
20:06
the season? I think this is an 11 win team,
20:08
at least they they won 10 games last year and just snuck it
20:11
barely into the playoff. And if you go back and watch the
20:14
tail end of the season, they they, they won that close.
20:16
Well, it was closed at first, but then they they took down the
20:19
Indianapolis Colts because Jonathan Taylor can't figure out
20:21
how to hold on to the football going into the end zone.
20:24
So that that that kind of sucked.
20:26
But for the Broncos it rules. But they they they took Joe
20:29
Burrow and Jamar Chase and T Higgins down to the wire and
20:33
Bonex threw 2 huge touchdown passes late in that game, both
20:36
of them to Marvin Mims. One on a 67 yard air throw.
20:40
By the way, 67 air yards throw to Marvin Mims at the very back
20:44
of the end zone to get the game close and then threw a a a toss
20:47
up ball to Marvin Mims at the end of that game to tie it to
20:50
send it to overtime. That's Jamar that Jamar Chase,
20:54
Joe Burrow and T Higgins that the most one of the most
20:57
explosive offenses in the NFL. This team can go toe to toe with
21:00
anybody. They they really can.
21:01
And hopefully what we're what we're seeing it at at camp right
21:05
now, the Broncos are starting to focus more on on running a lot
21:10
of outside zone. They they are usually a gap
21:14
team. They run a lot of inside zone
21:15
and duo. So duo is 2 double teams up at
21:18
the front. They run a lot of that one too.
21:21
This year they're starting to like focus on more outside zone,
21:24
which is really what accentuates the skill set of JK Dobbins.
21:27
That's great vision, great explosiveness.
21:29
RJ Harvey, same thing. Great vision, great
21:31
explosiveness. They can get vertical very
21:33
quickly if they want to. If the running game and the play
21:36
action, passing game and adding in Evan Ingram can actually hit
21:40
the way that it's designed, this offense can be, I want, I want
21:44
to call it a top ten offense, but if they're top 15 with the
21:47
top three defense, they can absolutely.
21:50
Land stop. You keep mentioning Evan Ingram.
21:54
First of all, Eva's pot hands in New York, good season with the
21:58
Jacksonville Jaguars, and you make it seem like, oh, he's this
22:02
guy could be absolutely dominating.
22:04
He goes over there and Bo Nick throws him and puts it in.
22:07
You put him in a slot, he's going to be dominant.
22:09
I do not believe Evan Ingram is that piece, that missing piece
22:13
that's going to make them just pop off and and honestly the
22:16
weakest part of this team is there wide receiving depth.
22:20
If you look at it, Cortland Sutton is great.
22:23
Am I going to trust that Marvin Mims junior is the number two
22:26
guy? I I mean, honestly, Pat Bryant,
22:29
Trent Shea, what is it? Sherfield Junior?
22:33
I mean, there's no depth. Troy Franklin, there's no depth
22:37
when it comes to the white. They're dominant defensively.
22:39
They're going to be sensational defensively.
22:41
They're running backs. JK Dobbins.
22:43
You don't know what you're going to get out of JK Dobbins because
22:46
how many ACL tears has he had? If he stays healthy, maybe you
22:49
have a good 212 punch, but they've had problems with their
22:52
running game. That's why Williams, he's
22:53
playing for the Cowboys now. And RJ Harvey, yeah, it's nice
22:57
to to say that he's and he's a gentie type of player because of
23:01
what he did in college. You got to do it in the NFL with
23:03
the speed. I think the weakest part of this
23:05
team, even though Sean Payton is the mastermind and one of the
23:09
best offensive minds in the NFL, is their offensive side of the
23:14
ball and the wide receiving core.
23:16
If Cortland Sutton goes down, what are they going to do?
23:18
Who's their number one guy? Pat Bryant, I mean, seriously,
23:22
Marvin Mims junior, you're going to Marvin Mims junior is not
23:25
even healthy right now. They should have went in the
23:28
offseason and look for more depth on the offensive side of
23:32
the ball. They didn't do that.
23:33
And as much as you think that, hey, we got Evan Ingram pot
23:37
hands himself, if you're trying to sell me that Evan Ingram's
23:41
the missing piece to this offense, well, man, you're going
23:45
to be madly surprised about what this team could be.
23:48
If if somebody like Court and Sutton, who I think he's very
23:51
underrated and it deserves the money in the offseason, if he
23:54
goes down, they're screwed. I don't disagree with that and
23:57
and quite honestly, I agree with your with your take on they
24:00
needed to add more pass catching weapons, specifically at the
24:03
wide receiver position. But I'm also going to tell you
24:06
what I've seen, what I've, what I've, what I've heard and, and
24:10
bring to you facts that are not just outside opinions.
24:13
Errol, I love you dude. But I, I covered this team for a
24:16
living and I do this every single day.
24:18
Marvin is not. Going to be wide receiver tuning
24:20
soft. It's going to be Pat Ryan.
24:22
This dude just cannot figure out how to get covered.
24:25
And I know that sounds crazy to say it like that.
24:28
He is always wide open. And going back to the early
24:32
parts of training camp, the Broncos, based on what I saw,
24:35
they were literally focusing on designing plays for Evan Ingram
24:38
on crossing routes to just get him, get him the ball quickly
24:41
and out in open space. And they did that for like the
24:44
first five days after that they stopped doing that.
24:48
Like, OK, we've already seen enough.
24:49
We we know. Then they throw it out there
24:51
against the Arizona Cardinals and he catches A5 yard, 5 yard
24:55
crossing round, turns it into a 55, a 58 yard game.
24:58
Pat Bryant on the backside. This dude on backside digs,
25:01
which is one of the biggest functioning components of the
25:04
Denver Broncos offense with Sean Payton.
25:06
It always has been the backside 15 yard in route that 15 yard
25:11
dig route. Pat Bryant is running across the
25:13
middle of the field, literally wide open without a player
25:16
within like 5 yards and catching everything thrown to.
25:20
Him but your Ben. Franklin has taken a bit.
25:23
I'm taking a bit. I'm taking a big bet here and it
25:25
absolutely does. It does have to, you know, like
25:28
we're talking about preseason NFL football.
25:29
Exactly. Some of it can't do like it's
25:32
absolutely your concerns are absolutely 100% correct.
25:35
I'm going based on what I've seen though, and what I've seen
25:38
is there there are times where this offense can actually like
25:42
target some of these players. And with Marvin Mims, you're
25:45
going to see him a lot of backfield, you're going to see
25:47
him a lot of slot. They're going to use him in
25:49
motion. I'm not going to compare him to
25:52
Tyree kill because he's definitely not that type of
25:54
player. But picture, picture what the
25:56
the Chiefs did with Tyree kill in that offense a handful of
26:00
years ago. An explosive player that you can
26:01
use as a gadget player and just try to figure out ways to get
26:04
him out in space. He's the best punt returner in
26:08
the NFL, and that sounds crazy to bring that up in an offensive
26:11
conversation, but what do you need to be a quality punt
26:14
returner? 1, you need great hands.
26:17
Two, you need great vision. Three, you need great twitch and
26:20
explosiveness in your lower half.
26:21
Great vision to be able to see what's going on in front of you
26:24
and also the ability to just start running it.
26:26
Incredibly fast-paced and no one can catch up with you.
26:29
He brings that to the offensive side of the football.
26:31
It all depends on what Sean Payton with him.
26:33
Troy Franklin has taken a huge step forward this offseason in
26:37
terms of his his ability to take the top off of the defense.
26:40
He's showing better ball tracking ability over his
26:42
shoulder, which is something that he struggled with last
26:44
season. If you remember correctly, Bonex
26:49
targeted Troy Franklin on deep shots.
26:51
I think 8 or 9 different times he only caught one pass.
26:55
They happen to be a touchdown in the Buffalo Bills game in the
26:58
playoffs for a 47 yard touchdown to put the Broncos up in the
27:02
lead 7, nothing. Yeah, that sucks.
27:04
But he's showing that better ball tracking ability.
27:07
Evan Ingram, again, bringing that versatility over the middle
27:09
of the field to open some stuff up.
27:11
This offense is actually going to be kind of dynamic and it
27:13
really just depends on if Bonex is going to be willing to take
27:16
those shots because he wasn't last season and that's the
27:18
biggest step of that. The New York Jets had Malachi
27:22
Corley, who they decided to drop after one year.
27:25
They drafted him in the third round.
27:27
They dropped him just recently and everybody was shocked.
27:30
This guy's a third round draft pick.
27:31
And listen, if you want to bet on Pat Bryant, that's good.
27:34
The Jets drafted Arian Smith, if I'm not mistaken, right?
27:38
This guy was, he's fantastic, fast.
27:42
He did very well in the preseason.
27:44
They think he could be a good #2 maybe a #3 on this team, but
27:48
they're looking at him just because of speed and how he fits
27:52
where you can put him in a slot on the outside that doesn't tell
27:54
me and sell me. As a Jet fan, all you have is
27:57
Garrett Wilson and you have maybe Mason Taylor.
28:00
I'm not going to I if I'm a Super Bowl contender with a lot
28:04
of Bronco fans believe that they are with the defense that they
28:07
have and maybe some of the running talent that they have
28:10
with with Harvey. If you're going to sell me that
28:13
and Pat Bryan is your number two guy.
28:16
That is scary and I don't know I understand that you follow this
28:20
team. You're getting this is what you
28:21
do for a living. It still tells me as a guy that
28:24
I also do this, you know, half a living and I understand the game
28:28
just as much as anybody. I I know a little bit about Pat
28:31
Bryan. I know he comes from Illinois.
28:33
I watched him a little bit at college football last year.
28:36
He's a speed demon. He's also 6 foot two and a 204
28:40
lbs. He's very light and if if he
28:42
gets hit once in the NFL, with the speed of the NFL, the guy
28:46
could be knocked out. What are they going to do?
28:48
They don't have any secondary offense.
28:50
That would scare me. Yes, it is Fish 2. 104 lbs is
28:54
light. I got to give you some numbers
28:56
here. So Pat Bryant last season at
28:58
Illinois caught 54 passes. I don't remember the yards off
29:01
the top of my head, 52 of them that went for first downs.
29:04
And he had a 80.4% contested catch rate.
29:08
Yeah, he's 622 O 4, but he is one of the best contested catch
29:12
receivers that's come out of the NFL draft for the last like 4
29:14
years. Like quite literally 80.4% LED a
29:18
college football last season by like over 8%.
29:22
The dude knows how to catch the football on traffic.
29:24
This. And let me just one quick last
29:28
thing talking about the Broncos and what they had last season.
29:31
Retention, retention rate 86%. They just traded a player to the
29:35
New Orleans Saints right before the the preseason game the other
29:38
day. And Devon Bailey, who was a
29:40
seventh round pick, OK, Devon Bailey was the second leading
29:43
receiver in on the Broncos roster.
29:46
That's he got like 47 passes. They traded Devon Bailey because
29:50
they believed in Pat Bryant more than Devon Bailey.
29:52
And they got a hell of a return because he got a fourth round
29:55
pick for what was a second round pick.
29:57
Like Pat Bryant is going to be a freaking stud, guys.
30:01
Like I, I saw, I think it was fish saying that he was going to
30:07
take Pat Bryant. Now, if Xavier Legazzi on his
30:10
slow draft, absolutely, I wouldn't take him like like
30:13
earlier than like the tenth round, if if even closer than
30:16
that or even later than that. But this dude is like legit.
30:18
They truly, truly believe in. This I really hope.
30:22
I love the guy and also so on that one thing that that also
30:27
brings just an added value to the guy.
30:30
It doesn't get much credit in terms of like the fantasy
30:33
football aspect. This dude will kick your ass in
30:35
the blocking game. So go back and watch the the
30:37
crossing route that Evan, that Evan I've highlighted this play
30:40
a couple different times. Evan Ingram on the crossing
30:42
route, 5 yard crossing route. Go back and watch that play and
30:45
watch #13 for the Broncos. He literally takes a a Cardinals
30:49
player and drives him like 30 yards downfield and escorts him
30:53
to the freaking sideline and throws him on the bench.
30:57
I like like this. This dude's a badass man.
31:00
I love you. I I really do.
31:02
I got to give you a little bit of credit.
31:03
You are absolutely a die hard fan of the Denver Broncos.
31:07
And I'm going to tell you if if if you haven't checked out Mile
31:10
High huddle guys, go check it out.
31:12
This guy's personality, he's got that emphasis personality and he
31:17

Listen, listen, I'm not toilet paper.
33:05
Jabba definitely isn't toilet paper.
33:07
I use dude wipes. I don't use toilet paper.
33:08
That's right, I forgot about that and and as Job always says.
33:11
As long as she's using dude wipes and taking care of my 2
33:14
hole I'm good. As we all know, but and
33:17
obviously. This makes my pecker hard.
33:19
You just made my nipples hard. Anyways, we love you keep up the
33:22
good work and I definitely all fair.
33:24
We got to talk because I got my own takes on some of the the the
33:29
precision you have when it comes to your team.
33:31
So. Hit hit me up on Twitter.
33:34
No, I'll hit you up somewhere. Else the way he's got my phone

A call. I'll let you lick my butt.
33:40
We'll shoot back and. Forth.
33:41
Don't worry, he'll start. He'll start loving RJ Harvey and
33:44
Evan Ingram when they when they truck sticks the gremlin Travis
33:47
Hunter. Oh.
33:47
That's another story. Well, we'll have to talk off air
33:50
on that one. And by the way, I did not draft
33:52
Travis Hunter. I saw him there in the later
33:55
rounds. I still didn't draft him.
33:56
I would never waste my draft pick on that idiot.
33:59
Anyways, thank you buddy. We'll talk to you soon.
34:02
Thanks guys. Lance Sanderson, Mile High
34:05
Huddle, sensational, great personality and, and we go back
34:09
and forth for a long time and I watched this cake grow as an
34:13
analyst. I remember when he only got like
34:15
3 or 4 people following his show.
34:17
Now he's like, he's got a tremendous following and he's
34:20
doing so many things with the Broncos and, and, and he's had
34:23
he's he's worked with all the different ex Broncos over the
34:27
last couple of years. He's had Von Miller on his show
34:29
and everything like that. So love the guy.
34:31
Keep up the good work, Lance. We'll talk to you soon, bud.
34:34
All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is the remix.
34:38
Another one remix. This is the Rayman.
34:44
The rah rah shishkumba. That's a good one.
34:50
That is a good one. That is a good one.
34:52
I definitely won't use dual wipes.
34:54
I'll use toilet paper. I use like nice sauce.
34:57
You just said you went to the bowl like 6 or 7 times.
35:00
That thing has to be raw. Toilet paper 100 percent, 100%,
35:04
dude. Oh if you're using dude wipes
35:06
you'd be fine bro. I don't know, I'm staying away
35:09
from the dude wipes, especially you promoting it.
35:11
What? But why do you like you toilet
35:14
paper that many times that thing's got like, dude, wipes
35:16
take care of you, man. I'm not, I'm I'm not.
35:18
This isn't even an ad or a shtick like this is like I've
35:22
had some rough, rough mornings after so long bubble guts.
35:25
And they they did, they did me right.
35:28
What about skidmark preventing skid marks?
35:33
Dude wife save skid marks. I had to take a shit.
35:41
All right, let's do this. This is the remix.
35:44
This is a new segment, relatively new segment that we
35:46
do where we're going to go take an old take, play it for you,
35:50
and then let Errol have a chance to remix some of the things he
35:55
said. Today's topic is going to be
35:57
what we said preceding before the MLB trade deadline about the
36:04
Yankees, so here we go. Put it on the first music.
36:09
This is the original take right here.
36:14
It's in baseball in the first half of the season after the
36:17
trade deadline. It's arguably one of the award
36:19
ball fans in baseball and this is something that Brian Cashman
36:24
has to lock in on because not because everybody wants to fire
36:28
Aaron Boone and everybody's come out on social media.
36:30
Every Yankee fan thinks that this is Aaron Boone's fault.
36:33
They're not getting timely hitting.
36:34
This has been a problem for the Yankees for over 15 years.
36:38
It's been a problem for them in the playoffs and they need to
36:40
find guys that are going to fill in certain spots, especially
36:45
that line up that's going to help out.
36:47
Aaron, Aaron, Joe. All right, Errol, here comes.
36:52
Another one. Remix.
36:55
This is the Remix remix. Well, the Yankees did exactly
37:02
what I said they should. They added some relief help.
37:05
Has it helped them? Well, not really.
37:08
The Yankees pitching staff right now in the second-half is still
37:12
one of the worst pitching Staffs in baseball they now fear.
37:15
Obviously Max Freed in his last start really delivered for the
37:19
Yankees. The Yankees still lost that
37:20
game. They the Yankees can't score.
37:23
They needed to add bats and they added one bat and they added the
37:28
defense to that one bat in third base, but it still wasn't
37:31
enough. The Yankees haven't done enough
37:34
to be a contender this year. I thought adding a maybe a two
37:37
or three bats at the trade deadline, probably 2 and and and
37:42
hope that Aaron Judge is stays healthy.
37:45
Aaron Judge goes down tear his UCL is not 100% now he's not
37:49
even he's playing in the outfield.
37:51
Now you have to put Giancarlo standing in the outfield.
37:53
He's still Giancarlo stands one of the hottest hitters in
37:56
baseball, but you got to watch him out in the outfield.
37:58
He's been horrible. He looks futured back out there.
38:02
I mean, he's not even a defensive player.
38:04
He's been a better DH since he's really transformed himself as
38:09
ADH in the major leagues in the as ADH in the image American
38:12
League. I just think right now the
38:13
Yankees are still trying to find themselves.
38:16
They won two games. They went back-to-back games
38:18
against a Washington team. That absolutely blows.
38:21
But they look at the look at the record against the teams, the
38:23
winning teams in the second-half.
38:25
The Yankees have one of the worst records in baseball.
38:28
I think they're ranked 27th to 28th in baseball right now in
38:32
the second-half of the season when it comes to records,
38:34
they've been horrible. And even if you look at the
38:37
relief pitching and, and the guys that they brought in, the
38:39
two guys, the two pitchers, one guy showed up and the other guy
38:43
hasn't. I just think that the Yankees
38:45
right now are not a playoff team.
38:46
They're going to make the playoffs just because the
38:49
American League is just absolutely terrible.
38:51
But this is not a championship team.
38:53
I thought they were in the beginning of the season.
38:55
They've completely fallen off. And now that Aaron Judge is not
38:59
going to play in the outfield for the rest of the season, it
39:01
scares me going into a playoff for a wild card game, playing
39:05
three games and not even a wild card.
39:07
What do they call a play in game?
39:08
Yeah, the first round is the. Three-game play, three-game,
39:12
three-game playing game, whatever it is speedy, why do
39:15
you have to correct me all the time?
39:16
The three-game playoff, playoff to get into the playoffs.
39:21
You got to worry about winning those games and winning two out
39:24
of three games. I'm not going to bet that if
39:26
Aaron Josh doesn't play in the outfield and you're going to bet
39:28
that John Carlos Stanton is not going to make a mistake and that
39:30
defense in the outfield is going to hold up is enough.
39:33
I I think the Yankees are not, even if they make the players,
39:35
they're not going further than that three-game series.
39:38
Another one. This is the remix.
39:44
That was This is the remix. And honestly, if you're a Yankee
39:48
fan, you can't be very happy about where this team is going.
39:51
Honestly, I, I, Tom, you're a Yankee fan.
39:53
We never got a chance. Let's hear, let's hear your
39:56
thoughts in the second-half of the Yankees and what you've seen
39:59
with the Yankees. What did you what do you think
40:01
the Yankees have done right, which is probably nothing.
40:03
And what do you think the Yankees should have done at the
40:05
trade deadline that could have made them a championship
40:09
competitive team? So right now I've seen, so let's
40:12
go back to 1, Anthony Volpe. Here's the play when he picked
40:15
up, when he was doing a play at shortstop and he threw over the
40:17
first baseman's head. That was completely, that was
40:20
completely repulsive. And I thought that was the most
40:21
retarded thing that I've ever seen in the Yankees.
40:24
But here's the thing. They need to put Aaron, Aaron
40:27
Judge back in the outfield. Because right now they think
40:30
that Aaron Judge is like the pickup man.
40:32
They think he's the big man that makes the Yankees go far in
40:35
every single game that they play.
40:36
But meanwhile, he's just another one of the Yankees.
40:38
I know he broke the record for the most home runs, but who
40:41
cares? That's in the past.
40:42
But the Yankees really need to lock in.
40:44
And if they don't lock in, they're not going.
40:46
To be you're going to put him, so you're going to bet to put
40:48
him in the outfield and possibly if something happens to his arm
40:51
that could ruin his career, that can affect him next year and
40:54
playing next season if he throws out his arm.
40:56
The Yankees are just trying to protect them.
40:58
The problem right now is, is betting on John Carlos Stanton
41:01
out in the outfield who really is a bona fide DH.
41:04
The Yankees need to have his bat in the lineup, especially how
41:07
hot he is. He's one of the top three
41:10
hottest hitters in baseball. If you look in the last two, the
41:13
guys been on fire. You got to keep his bad in.
41:15
If you keep his bad in, you have Aaron Judge in the lineup as a
41:18
DH. He's got to play in the
41:19
outfield. And that's the problem right
41:21
now. And I don't think there's any
41:22
way of fixing that. The Yankees right now are
41:24
screwed because Aaron Judge is a bonafide DH.
41:27
And, and, and as far as the pitching staff is concerned, no
41:31
matter what the Yankees did at the trade deadline, I don't
41:33
think it was enough. And you, even if you put one of
41:36
your starters in the, you put one of the starters in the
41:39
bullpen. If the Yankees get past that
41:41
three-game series wild card game against whoever they're matched
41:44
up against, it still tells me that the Yankees don't have
41:48
enough depth to move forward. And are you going to bet on Max
41:51
Freed with his blisters? And who's your number 2?
41:54
Are you going to bet on Rodon or are you going to you going to
41:56
bet on heel? There's no bona fide #2 guy, and
42:00
that's the problem with the Yankees.
42:01
Just just know there's nothing that stands to me from all the
42:04
other teams. Texas, we know who the bona fide
42:06
#2 guy is. Jabba, we know who that is.
42:08
If if if you're looking at all the teams right now in the
42:11
American League, Astros have three guys that you can put 123,
42:15
not just 2-3 guys as starters. That all the teams that are
42:18
making the playoffs, even the Blue Jays, they got two guys.
42:21
The Yankees don't have a bona fide two guys that you're going
42:24
to trust in A7 game series where you're going to say I'm going to
42:27
play this guy too and I'm going to play that guy too.
42:29
And all I got to worry about is 3 starts at the end if if they
42:32
if it does GO-7. I don't think the Yankees have
42:34
that. I don't think so either.
42:37
And then if they really want to risk putting Giancarlo standing
42:39
in the outfield and risking more like.
42:41
They have to. They got to put him in.
42:43
Is bad in the lineup. Yeah, I I think that would be
42:45
the right move for them. But all you can do is hope for
42:48
John Carlson makes a miracle, and hopefully he doesn't fumble
42:50
like the rest of the Yankees are doing in the field.
42:52
Well, the Yankees are all about fumbles, all right, ladies and
42:54
gentlemen, we call this Speedy's 6 Pack.
42:59
Let's have a sixer. Hey, who wants to play Drink the
43:02
Beer? It's time for the Speedy 6 pack
43:05
of the way. All right, Speedy.
43:08
Here we go, Speedy. Number six, all right, we'll.
43:11
Start with the now highest paid safety.
43:14
Kyle Hamilton got a four year, $100 million deal, 82 guaranteed
43:17
from the Ravens, 2nd, 8th and 3rd each of the last three years
43:22
in a coverage grade, and the only safety according to PFF
43:25
with an 88 rating in everything pass rush, run defense and
43:28
coverage. Who was that?
43:30
Kyle Hamilton. I have no idea what Kyle
43:35
Hamilton is going to be this year.
43:37
I don't know what he's going to be.
43:38
He's got to stay healthy. That's the problem.
43:40
He he's one of the best safeties in the league on the Baltimore
43:43
Ravens. There's no question their
43:45
defense is going to be elite If he's in the you can see the
43:48
difference of the Baltimore Ravens when he's not in the
43:50
lineup and when he's in the lineup, the defense is just
43:53
elite. When he's in the lineup.
43:54
I again, Kyle Hamilton has to stay healthy.
43:57
That's the problem. And, and I don't know if he will
43:59
stay healthy for the whole season. 90.1 PFF grade Kyle
44:04
Hamilton. He's.
44:05
Great elite safety. He's great.
44:07
We remember Notre Dame, right? It was Notre Dame that he played
44:10
for. I remember.
44:11
It was awesome in college. And he fell, he fell in the
44:14
draft because a lot of people were questioning his and not his
44:18
size, but because he's tall. But his, his, his, what is this,
44:21
his build? It was his.
44:22
Build. Yeah, his build. 40 yard down.
44:25
He has gotten banged up, so you know, there is some truth to
44:28
that. But that dude, that dude's just
44:30
one of the best players in football.
44:32
They lock him up. Smart move. #5.
44:35
Adam Thalen back to Minnesota after he spent his first seven
44:39
years of his career there since he came into the NFL. 13th and
44:42
receiving yards and catches, 9th in total touchdowns and is 8311
44:46
yards, which is the third most for an undrafted player ever.
44:50
Adam Thalen back to Minnesota. Your thoughts?
44:52
It's very simple. Minnesota is his hometown.
44:55
It's where he's from. He played college ball there and
44:58
and I love the fact. First of all, Phelen still has a
45:00
little bit left. We saw what he did in Carolina.
45:02
I think he led Carolina in receiving yards last year.
45:05
He still could be a good #2 maybe a #3 you can move him in a
45:09
slot. You can move him on the outside.
45:11
And he's a great team leader. He's one of the best leaders
45:13
right now in the NFL. You listen to Bryce Young and
45:16
what Bryce Young said about him as a quarterback when everybody
45:19
was picking on him throughout the league and some of the
45:21
players said that he can't play and he's not a good quarterback.
45:24
Well, guess what Adam Phelan said?
45:26
Don't worry about what anybody says.
45:27
All you have to worry about is your teammates and what your
45:29
teammates think of you feeling is a leader.
45:31
And that's what fits over there if Minnesota needs to lead
45:33
leadership over there with a young quarterback in McCarthy.
45:37
I think they, they did it for more than one reason.
45:39
And you're, you're right. I mean, a kid from there knows
45:42
exactly what it takes to win, went undrafted and closed in
45:45
2013. And you know, it always had a
45:47
little chip. But yeah, going back to, to
45:50
where you're from and, and what, you know, there's, there's
45:52
something to be said about that. And he's obviously proven it
45:54
for, for as many years as he can.
45:56
And he's definitely a guy you root for too, as as a guy going
45:59
undrafted and done it for as long as he has.
46:02
Yeah, Vikings had a lot of injuries down the roster on
46:04
receiver and Addison missing the first three games just made a
46:07
lot of sense. Going to get him at the price
46:08
that they had to pay for him. Speedy. #4 all.
46:12
Right. Well, combine, combine these
46:13
two, the Giants and The Jets. Arrow, you kind of hinted at
46:15
Malachi Corley being cut. He refuses to play special
46:18
teams. Also cut Donovan Edwards, who
46:19
had a nice preseason for them. Carter Warren and Brady Cook,
46:23
their young prospect. Only two quarterbacks on The
46:25
Jets roster for the Giants. Greg Dull says you Arrow, you
46:27
were mentioning Miller's Ale House looked like he's going to
46:29
be a good target, but he gets cutting rookie running back
46:32
Miller and Elijah Chapman as well, a defensive lineman that
46:35
played well last year. Thoughts to those cuts?
46:38
I think the biggest story was Malachi Corley and one of the
46:41
main reasons why he was a third round pick.
46:43
Everybody thought that this kid was going to be explosive for
46:46
the New York Jets. He was somebody that Joe Douglas
46:49
loved when they drafted him and he just didn't develop.
46:52
And Aaron Glenn, he was in Aaron Glenn's doghouse all offseason.
46:57
He really was. He wasn't training right.
46:59
They said he was a little overweight, a little overweight
47:01
when he came to camp. And they asked him to do things
47:05
with special teams and he wouldn't do it and pissed off
47:08
Aaron Glenn because Aaron Glenn is a team man and he's a team
47:10
player. And if you're not going to do
47:12
what the coach and the coaching staff wants, you're out of here.
47:15
So I think the biggest story was Malachi Corley and and obviously
47:19
your your guy, Mr. Dan Time, the quarterback.
47:23
What's his name again? Yeah, Why don't we ask Nathan,
47:25
his butt buddy over there, Quarterback.
47:27
Mr. Mr. Four Man, I'm sorry. The Patriots, the three Amigos,
47:31
the three Amigos. I can't believe the Patriots
47:33
brought it in. I can't believe somebody gave
47:35
him a chance. I don't think he's any good.
47:38
Well, I mean, he had to go somewhere, right?
47:40
Otherwise he would have ended up on the Giants practice squad.
47:42
Chapman did end up on the Giants practice squad, as did Tom and
47:46
Fox Lil Jordan Humphrey. The types of guys that the
47:49
Giants had to like use to fill out the roster are now on the
47:53
practice squad, which tells me the Giants depth has improved
47:57
significantly. So that's an exciting thing as a
47:59
Giants fan. Number hey, don't forget our
48:01
Husker on their fish. That's.
48:02
Right. Yep, your boy made it.
48:04
They cut goals Dulcich and kept Fidoni which is really cool.
48:08
He had a good camp, pretty excited about that.
48:11
Chapman's an interesting player because they're going to bring
48:13
him up for sure in games where they want to use a fullback.
48:16
He's probably more effective as a goal line fullback type of a
48:20
dude and just occasional pass rusher next to Dexter Lawrence
48:24
because he's not able to hold up against a run.
48:26
He's undersized. That's why he went undrafted in
48:27
the 1st place. Was the big success story last
48:29
season. I'm sure we'll see him again
48:32
this year. So that was two of them, Speedy.
48:33
4:00 and 3:00. Yeah, I have two left.
48:35
Do you want to do it eventually or combined?
48:36
Last two, speedy two and one all.
48:39
Right, so you were talking about earlier, Joe Mixon could be out
48:43
for the rest of the season. Maybe it could come back for the
48:45
playoffs. So the playoffs are the one I
48:46
want to focus on. He's 609.
48:48
Nineteen yards is the motion. The playoffs the last five years
48:50
among running backs and then fifth and receiving yards also
48:52
among running backs, 182. So that's one.
48:54
And then Hard Knocks episode 4 they're actually mentioning a
48:58
biometrics mechanism changed and Josh Allens throwing motion.
49:02
Chris Hess was the guy that did it and said it helped him with
49:05
less sacks and fumbles. Yet fans are complaining about
49:08
that. He's only been sacked, fumble or
49:09
picked or 4.2% of play. Was just the most in NFL history
49:12
in the modern era. Well, Joe Mixon, that's a pretty
49:16
interesting story. A lot of people drafted him and
49:18
now you're hearing he probably doesn't play unless there's a
49:21
playoff appearance from the Texans.
49:23
And I think the Texans will make the playoffs, so maybe they save
49:26
him for the playoffs. I I don't know if he comes back
49:29
or he doesn't, but it's a significant story because who's
49:32
their number one guy? Chubb.
49:33
I don't I don't trust Nick Chubb.
49:35
Remember, he's coming back from another major injury.
49:37
I I don't know they. Have another rookie too with the
49:40
with the first name Woody and the last name marks.
49:44
I I don't know as far as who is it Josh Allen mechanics, I
49:49
haven't machine thing. I haven't watched Hard Knocks
49:52
yet. I'll wait.
49:53
I always wait until the four episodes are over and then I'm
49:56
going to watch it straight through.
49:57
When I get a chance to watch it, I probably give you my thoughts
50:00
to it, but interesting story. Josh Allen is one of the best
50:05
quarterbacks in the league. If they're going to try and try
50:08
to stop or change his motion or because of a machine, I think it
50:12
only effects him. This guy is an elite player.
50:15
Just let him play his game. Let him figure it out himself.
50:17
You don't need any machines or some kind of statistic or
50:21
mathematical equation to fix what he really is as a
50:24
quarterback. He's sensational.
50:25
I don't think there's anything that needs to be fixed with Josh
50:28
Outer. I, I, I find it fascinating that
50:30
they're using these these kind of ways to help quarterbacks now
50:34
like just think. About have you have you seen one
50:36
of those labs? I I wish I've never had a
50:38
chance. To there it's crazy like there
50:41
there's different types. I've seen them all like first
50:44
one, like Doctor Andrews had one when I was rehabbing my elbow
50:48
and it's kind of like, you know, they put the dots on you.
50:51
They do also the stuff now there's like lasers and it it is
50:54
absolutely incredible how they can break it down of like how
50:58
much force and your acceleration, your deceleration,
51:01
whether your hips are like it's, it's almost like too much like
51:06
there's labs that literally that's all they do Like Oh, you,
51:09
you're leaking from your left adductors.
51:12
You're like what? It's nuts.
51:14
And yeah, I. I don't know, you know what,
51:17
that's like Java. I'm still cutting, you know, hip
51:19
pads into knee pads for kids because we ran out, you know,
51:23
and we got and we're going to get yelled at by the refs.
51:25
You're going to get. Yourself in trouble on this
51:26
show, man. No, that's that's the reality of
51:31
like high school football. You have to understand that like
51:33
if you don't have money in your school or it's a small school
51:35
like I coach at. Our boy Jordan also is going
51:39
back to the Buffalo Bills. So that's a that's a big story.
51:41
Jordan was talking about, Yeah, when he was on the show and he
51:45
was saying that he wants to play back with the Buffalo Bills and
51:49
he says we'll see. And he didn't want to relay or
51:52
give us any released information.
51:54
And he released it today as he signed a one year deal with the
51:57
Buffalo Bills to go back and see if he can win a Super Bowl with
52:02
the Buffalo Bills. That would be a great story to
52:04
walk away from the game and win a Super Bowl with a Buffalo
52:07
Bills team that is definitely one of the favorites to coming
52:09
out of the AFC again this year. So congratulations to Jordan.
52:14
I'm interested to see what he is going to do this year with a
52:17
very loaded defense in the Buffalo Bills.
52:20
So I'm going to be it's going to be fun.
52:22
Anyways, we have a new segment. We've done this before.
52:25
It's what the second or third week?
52:27
We call this Java. Rules.
52:35
He tastes himself all. Right, let's set it up.
52:39
Java, you're going to tell us, as we've been learning in this
52:44
segment, what rules this week. Yeah, there there was a there
52:49
was a lot of of Java rules. We, the one I thought about too,
52:54
we covered earlier in the Brady rules just because I thought it
52:56
was fitting and what? But one thing I really wanted to
52:59
focus on, I know I did on what's that smell?
53:01
I did golf. But what really rules about not
53:05
only representing your country? I don't know if you guys
53:08
obviously are huge golf fans, but Keegan Bradley was named
53:11
captain and he's the number 11th player in the world.
53:15
So by via stats and finishes, he should be on the team.
53:18
He is the captain. He did not vote himself and was
53:23
selfless enough to put other guys that had played this last
53:26
month to the best of their abilities.
53:29
And he came out today in the press conference this morning
53:32
and said it hurts to not play this because as a kid you want
53:37
to represent your country and play on the Ryder Cup.
53:39
And he goes, but I was put here to be the captain and this is
53:43
what I'm going to do. And it was just really cool to
53:46
see being selfless because there's only been one player
53:49
captain, that's Arne Palmer. And it's tough.
53:52
It's tough to to be able to do that, manage A-Team.
53:55
You have vice, vice captains. But for him to be selfless and
53:59
and get guys on, we had two first timers of the Ryder Cup
54:03
and I thought it was very fitting too, because it's in
54:06
Bethpage around your guys's neck of the woods.
54:09
I've paid. I have played Bethpage.
54:11
I'm not going to tell you what my score was because it was not
54:14
anything like the PGA Tour. I just said I'll give you I had
54:18
to restock balls afterwards. But just a great event.
54:22
It actually starts on my birthday.
54:24
So and just a really cool. I'm going to show you guys now.
54:28
Yeah, it'll, it'll be fun. And I think Keegan badly rules
54:32
for for the way he handled it and the way that he was just
54:35
selfless and and knowing that he should have been on the team,
54:38
but he knew what was important and to lead that team.
54:41
So. So Keegan Bradley, you ruled to
54:43
me, buddy. By the way, I just want to let
54:45
everybody know that I will be going.
54:47
I got press passes and it's always fun to get a chance to go
54:51
and check out Bethpage Black. I've never played golf, so I
54:54
don't know much about driving golf balls.
54:56
I, I, I've heard about it. I've heard they call it the.
54:59
It's A and it's a public course. That's why it rules to me.
55:01
And it's like you get there. It's like first come, first
55:04
serve. And you know, Keegan was like,
55:07
this is for the people that live up here, the people that play it
55:10
all the time to go and represent on our soil, to have the
55:13
Europeans come in and, and to represent this public course
55:17
that people can afford to play. And, you know, just be proud of
55:21
that. It was it was really cool.
55:22
And and it was it makes you proud to to wear the red, white
55:26
and blue. That's and just to let everybody
55:28
know how hard it is to play that course, Tiger Woods says.
55:31
Tiger Wood has said plenty of times it's the hardest course
55:34
he's ever played on so. Well, there's different courses.
55:37
The black courses is the one that they're playing on.
55:40
You can play the other ones and score pretty good if you're an
55:43
OK golfer. But yeah, the black you're gonna
55:47
need a lot of dude wipes because you're you're gonna be do doing
55:50
all over yourself. Trying breaking news.
55:51
I gotta go back off now, Carl. Plays with himself.
