• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Shot.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Jalen Walls got it.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Down to the one contested ball, and Waddell wins the
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: battle against Buster Brown.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And this is why Jalen Waddell's here. To give them
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: that speed, to give them that deep threat. Take the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: running play. Knicks on the move. Wide open. Touchdown. Caught
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: by Atkins. The Broncos with a big answer.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Tight formation.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Single setback.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Coleman.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Handed to him.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Coleman takes it in for the touchdown.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: The rookie.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Puts the Broncos in front here in the fourth. Denver,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: 392 yards of offense. This game turned in the third quarter.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: The Broncos come from behind to get the W.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Hey, Nelly. Do me a favor.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Can you go back, like, I don't know, any time
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: between the last 10 and 12 months, do a show
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: that I did in that calendar time frame, and just
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: replay it? Because it felt the same. Broncos win, it's
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: a big win, man. It gets you to 1-1. You
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: beat a good team. I don't think anybody's denying that
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the Jags have a lot of ability. you had, in
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of ways, the things that you rely on
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: most bounced back.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Your defense wrapped up and tackled.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: They held the very potent Jags offense, who was averaging
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: 32 points per game over the last 12 games that
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: they played, to 268 total yards. You put a limit
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: to what Trevor Lawrence was going to do through the air,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: had no passing touchdowns.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You turned the ball over.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: And in a lot of ways you had a performance
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: that I think that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Everybody can be a little bit proud of.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And in some ways it looked like the exact same
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: game that you've watched over the last year, which is
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: you had a very impotent offense that was incapable of
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: making the play at the time you needed. Um, You
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: had a very inconsistent performance in both red zone and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: on third down that led to a whole bunch of problems.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the game, when it was
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: money time, your quarterback and your offense made the requisite
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: plays to take the lead and ice the game.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: This is just kind of who they are.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And in the same way that I've talked about other
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: teams in the past, I think playing this style of football,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and I said this all of last year, despite the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: fact that you were this close to a Super Bowl appearance.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Playing this style is playing a little bit with fire.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Because you're going to have games like the Jacksonville game
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: yesterday that you're able to come back, take the lead,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and ice the game at the end of the 4th.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: But then you're going to have games and you're going
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to leave yourself potentially in situations like you did on
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Monday night last week where you've created such a hole
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: for yourself, it doesn't matter.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I think that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: There's no way I can be upset about this because
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: this is who they are. And I love the fact
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: that they made the plays when they had to.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I would love even more if.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: They made these plays in the first and second quarter.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: But there are things that I think are gigantic positives
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to move forward with. And one of them is Jonah Coleman,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I think, is a dude. You know, the Broncos did,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: in a much better way, commit to the running game
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: First of all, they had to.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: They couldn't have a repeat of what happened in the
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: opening game where you barely ran the football.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: You commit to the running game. You give J.K. Dobbins
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: some carries.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Dobbins, after all the pinky promises and this and that,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: goes down with an injury. In comes Jonah Coleman. We
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: need somebody to take over running the football. And I
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: thought he was fantastic. The numbers aren't going to say that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: But when you needed somebody to break through the offensive line.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And to set something up.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: To close out a game, You'd love to close out
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the game with a rushing game, and that's what Jonah
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Coleman did. He's just a very compact, bowling ball-sized player
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: that makes life really difficult on opposing defenses to, first
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of all, spot, because he's short, but second of all,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: just tackling right into the ground. Now, I took all
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: these notes during the game, and I'll be honest, most
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: of the notes have a.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Negative tone to them because.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Early in the game, again, it just felt like the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: same thing that we've seen for a long time, which,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: to be fair, results in 14 win seasons and AFC
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: title appearances. But it's frustrating to get there. And when
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: you look early in the game, I was just charting
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: third downs. So these were the first downs in the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: first half. It was third and 11, third and 11.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Both of those were both misses, punts. You had a
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: third and three that was a long throw to Jalen
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Waddle that misses. You had a third and two where
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: they actually ran a couple of plays that we were
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: asking for, which is like Bo Nix is athletic. Let
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: him use his legs. On the third and two, it
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: was a quarterback keeper. He kept it, got the first down. Now,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: did feel like he might have given himself up before
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the first down, which was ungodly frustrating. I thought it
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: was going to be overturned. Thank God it wasn't. But
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you picked that one up. But then you had third
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and goal. Three plays from the one-yard line. Couldn't find
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: a way to punch it in. You had third and
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: goal from the eight, and that's where Nix lofted that
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: awful ball to the left corner of the end zone
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: that was easily picked. Those are the kind of mistakes
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: you talk about the first half, third down, one of
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: six on third down, a turnover, almost two turnovers if
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: you include the first third down that was almost picked
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: off by Travis Hunter. All of this leads to the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: same conversations we're having and this is why I hate
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: to be this guy every.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Time that The Broncos win. It feels like I was
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: doing that for a lot of last.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Year because it's a good win against a really good
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: team that keeps you afloat in this really difficult start
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: to the season. But you make all these changes in
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the offseason. You wanted to see some of the critical
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: areas change. And for the first couple weeks, it just hasn't.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Red zone is still a problem. Third down is still
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a problem. But to the Broncos' credit, when the game
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: gets tight and the pressure ramps up, here's what happened.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence threw a terrible ball that got picked off. You,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: on multiple occasions, got the ball in prime field position
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: and were able to capitalize on it. So Trevor Lawrence
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: throws the pick. You turn that pick into a touchdown
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: and tie the game 13-13. Jags get the ball back.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: They try the 54-yard field goal and Cam Little misses.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: You start a drive from the 44-yard line. You finish
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: with a touchdown again and win the game with it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: So it's capitalizing on mistakes made late by opposing.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Teams. But it feels like you had.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Plenty more opportunity early in the game to do something
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and you didn't. Like that score at halftime should have
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: been at worst 14 to 10. You had the ball
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: at the one-yard line, three consecutive times you got stuffed,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: it led to a field goal. You get the ball
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: down to the goal line again, you throw an interception.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: So halftime score was 10-3, should have been at worst 14-10,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: and then maybe you don't need the big comeback thing
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: at the end of the game, but at least you
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: got that in your bag. Now, again, a lot of
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the fundamental stuff And this is for maybe a bigger
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: discussion later in the show surrounding Sean Payton and what
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: his role is now. But there's a lot of easily
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: correctable things that you need to clean up. Because if
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: you don't, those are things that are going to burn
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: you against really good teams. You're able to get away
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: with it against Jacksonville. You weren't against the Chiefs. My
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: guess is you probably won't against the Rams next week either.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: but I thought the way that the defense stepped up
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: and played, well was a huge difference. The good news
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: is the first round pick that you've invested in somebody
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to come over here and make your offense a little
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: bit more dynamic paid off in week two. Jalen Waddle
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: was eight catches for 138 yards on 10 targets. And
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I mean big chunk pop plays. is what he contributed.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It gave you a weapon that you just have never had.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: You have somebody now within this offense that if you
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: need somebody to break something open, Jalen Waddle is more than.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Capable of it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: He is every bit as athletic and dynamic as we saw,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: but the first portion of his career and throughout everything
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: that he did during camp, um, I mean, Bo Nix
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: finishes with 288 yards through the air. I think a
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: lot of that was at the beginning of the game
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: feeling like some empty calories because they weren't resulting in points.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: But you stick to it, you continue to make plays,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: and if there's one sort of detail that Bo Nix has,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: it's at the end of games, he will show up
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: and make plays happen. You had four drives. In the
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: second half. That was it. Four opportunities. That resulted in
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: a field goal drive. Your first drive of the second half.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: The touchdown drive after the interception, which was 10 plays,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: 64 yards. The touchdown drive after the missed field goal,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: which was five plays, 56 yards. And then the one
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: that I actually love the most. You get the ball
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: back with 441 left.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: You're up seven.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: You have a chance to ice the game. Do not
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: rely on the defense to go back out there and
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: do your work for you. And they have a 10-play
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: drive that kills the rest of the clock, and you
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: close out the game that way. That is impressive. When
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: you get the chance to put a dagger in somebody,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: you got to do it. And in four drives in
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: the second half, they were great. In all of the
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: drives in the first half, you had moments where it
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: looked okay. but not being able to finish was a killer.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: So again, it's another one of those, how do you
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: want to look at it? It's not even glass half
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: full or half empty. It's more like you're doing things correctly,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: but you need to finish. And in the first half,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: you didn't finish. In the second half, you did.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Well, Brett, if you truly want to do a repeat
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: of all the shows we did last season... It's 6-13,
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: and I've been waiting for you to say the word.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: You haven't said the word yet.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Unsustainable?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I was waiting for you to say the S word.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: Is this brand of football sustainable where the offense looks
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: like trash for three quarters and relies on the defense
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: to keep them in games, and then in the fourth
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: quarter they score two touchdowns to pull out the win miraculously?
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: And then it's Broncos country.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Let's ride. Is that sustainable, Brett?
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: Do you really want to do the same thing we
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: did all last season?
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think I can because I kept saying last
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: year was unsustainable and it was sustained.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Like traditionally it shouldn't be, but they had big time
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: success operating in this formula, even though it's a formula
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: they don't want to operate in. You ask any of them,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: That's not how they obviously are excited about the win.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: But I mean, you saw the cutaways to Davis Webb
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: on the sideline in the first half. He was pissed,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: especially after that interception. But if you go back to
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: last year, I think the number now is in one
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: score games going back to last season, I believe the
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: 13 and one.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: That's nuts. Like, to be able to do that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Let me make sure I have that right, because I
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: think the broadcast said they were 12-1 in one-score games
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: going into it.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Hold, please.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I'll find it during the break. Point is, traditionally it's not.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: But the Broncos did do things in that game that
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: had to be different from game one. And we'll highlight
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: a couple of those in just a couple of minutes.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Shop Mazda text lines open for you.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: 303-504-0925.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Shop Mazda. One price, one person, one hour. So a
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: whole lot to get to. It's a big win. Gets
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: you back to one and one in this atrociously hard
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: start from a schedule perspective. Of the first six weeks
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: of the season, you need to just keep your head
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: above water. This win does that. A loss would put
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: you in a deep hole, find a way to win,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: move forward. Now you have the Rams coming to town.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: But things that they changed from week one to week
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: two that they had to and did successfully, we'll get.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: To it next.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Coach, was there a concerted effort to just run the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: ball more?
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: No. I think we're built up front and a little
• 15:24
  Speaker 9: bit more under center. You know, you're constantly looking to
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: find ways to take the quarterback off the high dive, right?
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: You know, the two greatest allies for that position are
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: defense and a good run game. But those guys up
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: front did a good job, and D-Web did a great job.
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: We had good balance. It was a good win.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: It's a Rally House Football Monday. Rally House shop every
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: team in town. A couple texts coming through here before
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: we move on.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: One.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: It's almost like it takes time to gel. New season,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: some parts, some new parts, and a new play collar
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: takes time to iron out the kinks. Now remember, I
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: was the one after last week that told you the
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Broncos are not going to look as bad as it
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: looked in week one because the problems that they had
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: in that first week are very correctable mistakes. It is,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: there's a difference between between if you lose a football
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: game by being out-physicaled, and I think a lot of
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: people thought that's what happened in Kansas City.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: You didn't get out-physicaled. You weren't getting pushed around. You
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: weren't tackling. Tackling is easy to correct. You wrap up
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: and you bring bodies to the ground. Anybody who was
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: in the NFL knows how to tackle. A defense that
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: was top five in the league last year knows how
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: to tackle. I knew that would be better. It's the
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: reason why I thought the Broncos would win this game.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Not committing to the run. That is wholly correctable by
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: just committing. Again, it's not a matter whether you can
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: or can't do it. It's committing to it. Tackling, committing
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: to the run were two things that could be changed
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: in a quarter.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Forget a week.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Um, here's the, the problems that I have, I should say,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: because the good things that they did were yes, tackled better,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: committed to the run. Um, I thought the, the approach
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: offensively felt a lot more, uh, or I should say
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: a lot less predictable. Um, There's a lot of anomalies
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: in that first week that I thought could change in
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: a hurry, and they did going into week two. Bo
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Nix taking four sacks is not something that he does.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: That was maybe the weirdest stat of the first week
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: outside the tackling. He took zero sacks in this game
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: because he's very mobile and the offensive line is good
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: and all these different things. That was not going to
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: be a theme to the season. So you changed in
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of areas that you should. Another thing, you
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: went out and you invested in a playmaker. Get the
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: playmaker of the football.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: You did that.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Jalen Water was fantastic in that game. I guess some
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: areas that still leave concern that we'll get to in
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: a moment as you brought up, Nelly, the sustainable thing
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: that I said a lot last year. And texture says,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: is this sustainable? Did you watch any games last year?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Do you watch the NFL? I don't think you understand
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the extent of how the Broncos win and how crazy
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: that it is.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: The Broncos trail. What was the stat?
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Now, do you remember they trailed in 15 games last
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: season in one 14 that it every other team that
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: trailed in 15 games didn't win more than 11. in
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: a year before the Broncos did last year, the amount
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: of fourth quarter comebacks that they had last year was
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: like historic. Traditionally, it shouldn't be sustainable.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Now this Broncos team just finds a way. And I
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: do think that that is, there is a quality and
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: a good quality in a team that is able to
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: win the way that they win.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: There's one problem.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: And it's that with, the schedule that you have this year,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: you were able to do that against the Jags. This
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: game felt in many ways a lot like the Chiefs
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: game last week until the Chiefs pulled away really late.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: The Broncos at halftime last week We're down 14-7. Seven-point deficit,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: much in the same way they were down seven going
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: into halftime this week.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Then, Chiefs go out and score a touchdown.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: You can't capitalize on an interception that's returned to the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: four-yard line, and the Chiefs pull away. That's the stuff
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: that concerns me this year if you continue to play
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: this game. is that these fourth quarter comeback stuff and
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: the second half comeback stuff can flip in a hurry
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: when you're playing against better quality of opponent week in,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: week out. Now again, you go out, you get the
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: win this week, it's great. Here's some issues. Here's some problems.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: And I think this is.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: A larger discussion towards Sean Payton and his, quote, new
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: role that he has. If you aren't going to be
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: the guy with the play sheet and you aren't going
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: to be the guy calling the plays, your responsibility as
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: a overseeing head coach is you need to make sure
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: the basics of your football team are all in order.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: They take way too many penalties and they take way
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: too many penalties when it matters the most. That's an issue.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: You can't get third and twos turning into third and
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: sevens because of a delay of game. You can't have
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: false starts that put you in a hole. Pat Bryant
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: called for another holding penalty again that kills you. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I just think this offense, for whatever reason, isn't built
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: to overcome a 10-yard penalty on a drive. It does
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: feel like if you take one of those, you're probably
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: going to end up punting.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: But it's the small things.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: That I think if they do get corrected, you're talking
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: about this team being one of the best in the
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: league again. I'm really trying my best to highlight both things.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: It's a great win that the Broncos had. But it
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: leaves you hanging in the balance for losses That shouldn't be.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: And here's the thing.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I have higher expectations for the Broncos because I think
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: they're one of the best teams in the league. I
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: think they are Super Bowl contending good. Super Bowl championship good.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: But little details can derail you in a hurry from
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. And it's still early in the year.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: And I know the Broncos under Sean Payton have been
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: slow starters to the season. The Jags are a very,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: very good football team. Again, we talked last week about
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: they have put up at least 23 points in 15
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: consecutive games or something like that going into yesterday. And
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: your defense stepped up and made some huge plays.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Huge.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Holding Trevor Lawrence to 189 yards is like elite level.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Because that offense, when it's rolling, it is very difficult
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: to stop. But a texture says the program this morning
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: feels like we lost again.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Was it perfect? No. But ease up. I'm just. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know about you guys.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I can't ignore the bad from the first half because
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I feel like that can kill you later in the season.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: And this does feel like the same show that I
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: did for a lot of last year.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: I think it is massive that the Broncos came back
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: and won the way that they did. My frustration lies in, God,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: you could be amazingly good if you figure out that
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: stuff earlier in games.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: And it's just, it's tough to point to games where.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: In which the Broncos don't feel like there has to
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: be some furious comeback. Like, once again, when you are
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: evaluating what this team is going to be for the
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: rest of the year, and I think more specifically what
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: your quarterback is going to be moving forward.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: You know, it's weird.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Last week, I jumped on the air and I said,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think that game was as bad as, at
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: least a bad as indicator as people are making it
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: out to be. I mean, I was fighting with people
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: who were talking about, is Bo Nix actually good? I'm like,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: it's been a week. How about you chill? How about
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: you relax? It's not going to be as bad as
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: it was in week one. They will figure things out
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: because they're a good football team. But at the same time,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: being one-on-one, moving forward, now welcoming in the Rams, you're
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: in much better position to hold firm during this six-week
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: stretch to start the year.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: And you look around the league, here's what's funny.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: You know, the Chiefs went again last night in a
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: bizarre-looking game. But the team that was crowned the darling
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: of the offseason going into this, The Chargers lose again,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: and they do so looking awful again offensively, putting up
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: only 14 points, another multi-turnover game from Justin Herbert. You know,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: we were talking about who is going to rise up
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: and take a playoff spot in the AFC with some
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks healthy, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, et cetera. Who's going
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: to drop off and who's going to jump into the
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: playoff mix? Well, it does look like the Chargers are
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: a team that's going to drop off. What's funny is,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: you go back to last year. When you return a
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: team that had the retention rate of the Broncos, which
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: was 47 of 53 players on the 53-man roster from
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: last year, still on the roster this year, virtually your
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: entire starting 22 in offense and defense coming back with
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: a couple exceptions. The reason why things look the same
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: is because it's the same guys. But what you're hoping
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: for is, can we get just a little bit more
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: in the consistency department?
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: And if they do that, I'm telling you, I still
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: believe this team is one of the best in the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: AFC and one of the best in the NFL. I
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: still believe that this team is going to be competing
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: for championships. This is Bo Nix. in his walk-off interview
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: with Evan Washburn.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: Bo, congratulations on the win. What changed in that third
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: quarter where you guys took over this one?
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: Well, we just stuck to the plan, and I thought
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: we did a great job in.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: The first half.
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: We just had two red zone drives that didn't end
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: in touchdowns, and so those ended in touchdowns in the
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: second half, and we played just a complete game of ball.
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: We didn't hurt ourselves as much in the second half,
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: and we didn't have as many self-inflicted wounds, and so
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: we just went out there and executed at a high level,
• 27:41
  Speaker 10: and coaches just continued to put the ball in our hands,
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: and we just made plays.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: You mentioned coaches and quarterbacks. You know what comes with
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: these positions, the heat from the outside this week. It
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: was pretty immense after that Monday night loss.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: What do you.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: Appreciate most about what Davis Webb did in leading this group?
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: Well, honestly, I didn't really hear much of it. That's
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: for people that listen to it. That's for people that
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: listen to it. But, you know, it's either crisis or carnival,
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: and there wasn't much else to talk about, I guess.
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: So we just responded in the right way, and we
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: knew we were fine. We weren't going to panic, and,
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: you know, we had a great home opening win.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: It's a big win.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: If you had to evaluate Bo's game, let me do this.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: We'll take a straw poll.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Straw poll.
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Letter grade. What would you give Bo in that game?
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll give him an A-plus for crisis or carnival.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: That was a banger of a line.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: And also, in the middle of that interview, when you
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: hear Evan Washburn go, watch out, and then... That was
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: Garrett Bowles running up and grabbing his shoulders and shaking him.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Don't you love that, like, mid-walk-off interview, some player has
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: to come mess with you?
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, if I saw Garrett Bowles walking
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: up to me randomly, I'd be terrified. You guys have
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: heard the Ramos Law commercial that he does? I feel
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: like I have to do that out of fear and
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: just hearing him speak.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Sam Elliott's going to be out of
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: a job.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: No kidding. He sounds like, sometimes there's a man. But
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: I want to see, what would you guys give Bo
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: in that game two?
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Because if I had to give him a letter grade,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I think it's like B minus-ish. You could talk me
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: into a B. You could talk me into a C +.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: But here's the reason why. This is what makes it
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: a hard grade for me.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Did Bo.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Do what he had to do when the game mattered
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the most. Yes, because that's what he always does. It's
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: his best quality as a quarterback.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Is that when the game is on the line, he
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: seems to always make a play.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Always.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: But it feels like early in games when stuff matters,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: when you're at the goal line.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: It's a pick or it's settling for a field goal.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: And if he could put both of those things together,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: all the questions that people have about the Broncos nationally
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: all stem from.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: What to think of Bo Nix. That's it. That's what
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: this all comes down to.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: And it's the same thing that you feel with a
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: lot of other teams in the league with quarterbacks that
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: are kind of in that gray area. is you want
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: to believe that the team is going to be a contender,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: but you're unsure of what heights the quarterback can take
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: them to. And I think the game yesterday is a
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: perfect example of it. You have some elite-level throws in
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: the second half that, first of all, keep you in
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: the game, but second of all, give you a lead.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: You're gifted opportunities from a bad interception from Trevor Lawrence
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: and a missed field goal at midfield. And your quarterback
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: goes out, capitalizes on the opportunity, and now you're in
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: the driver's seat. If that stuff happened earlier in the game,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: perhaps you wouldn't need to be in that position where
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: that stuff mattered so much.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: But this is just kind of how it goes. Like
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: having a quarterback that operates best in chaos when you
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: need him to is great. If he could combine that
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: with doing it when things are a little bit more
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: chill early in the game. You know, how about this?
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: If you had a basketball player that through three quarters
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: had six points and was three of 15 from the floor,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: but in the fourth quarter every night lit you up
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: for 22.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: It's like, hell yeah.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I love that a guy is capable of doing that,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: but why can't that happen the entire game?
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: So like the opposite of. who would drop 30 points
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: in the first half and then have nothing the rest
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: of the game.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: It's a great quality, but also makes it frustrating because
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: you're like, it doesn't have to be this way.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: It doesn't have to.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: So 303-504-0925, broadcasting from the Backus & Shanker Studios, serious
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: lawyers for the seriously injured back after this.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: It's a Rally House Football Monday. I'm very confused. I'm
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: very confused.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know how my tone is coming off this morning,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and I have two groups of people yelling at me,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: and I don't know how to handle this.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: You're talking to my guy all wrong. It's the wrong tone. Well, Nelly,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: you tell me.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: I have one group that's yelling at me saying I'm
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: sounding too negative after a Broncos win.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I'm really not negative. I'm pointing out. Okay, how about this?
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I'm pointing out the things in the first half that
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: were bad that could come back to burn you are bad.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Do it again. A stab in the face with a
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: soldering iron.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: And I know everybody else felt that way because they
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: were being.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Loudly booed in the first half. Loudly.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: But also acknowledging in the second half and when the
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: game mattered, you made some really, really good plays. But
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I can't ignore what happened earlier in the game just
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: because the Broncos won. That's not the way that this works.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: So I have one group that's yelling at me that
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I'm being too negative. Another group, like this text, are
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: saying it's insanity doing the same thing and expecting different results.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Same players, coaches, and culture. It's just who the Broncos are.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Well, that That.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Culture was 14-3 with an AFC title appearance and was
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: this close to a Super Bowl. That's a pretty good
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: place to be. If I want to be in the
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: insanity realm, I'll be in that insanity realm all day.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: But I think it's reasonable to say the Broncos did
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: some really good things late in that game that led
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: to a win against a very, very good team. But
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Being stuffed three times at the one-yard line and not
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: getting in the end zone and having to settle for
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: a field goal is bad. And throwing an interception in
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: the end zone from a third and goal is bad.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: And leaving 11 points on the board in the first
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: half and being down seven instead of up four at
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: least is bad. And all those things need to be
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: corrected because, like I said, there is a fine line
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: between coming back and winning the football game the way
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: that you did yesterday and the way you did a
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: lot last year and having games turn into what the
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Kansas City game turned into, which is all of those. Look, man,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: you were in the Kansas City game, but all of
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: those mistakes early compounded so much to make it a
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: blowout loss. And that's the stuff that concerns me. I
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: still know, I know the Broncos are very, very good.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I know that they are very capable of getting back
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: to the AFC championship game and fighting for a Super
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Bowl again. But I also know that those mistakes that
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: you make early are the difference sometimes between winning and
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: losing football games. And it could be winning or losing
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: by a field goal at the end, or it could
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: be losing the way that you did on Monday night
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: against Kansas City. That's where that stuff compounds. So again,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: my read on this It's very simple. That's a very,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: very good win yesterday. Very good.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: And there are things that they must correct.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Moving forward because what we talked about all offseason was
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: you need to figure out how to get the sputtered
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: starts out of the way and build yourself a little
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: bit of grace for later in the game.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I just think.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: You're making things, you're making the margin for error late
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: in games way too thin to the point that if
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: you continue to play in that kind of manner, it's
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: going to be one that you're going to look back
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: on and say, well, maybe that game kept us from
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: being the number one overall seed in the AFC. Maybe
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: these mistakes kept us from winning the division and And
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: having a home playoff game.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Those are the little details that matter to me.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: And I can't just ignore those because you came away
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: with the win at the end of the game. Now,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: the way that you won is incredibly impressive. Hey, defense
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: didn't get a lot of turnovers last year. You get
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: a big pick that sets you up for a touchdown
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: to tie the game. missed field goal. They gift you
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: an opportunity. You capitalize on that with another touchdown that
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: gives you the lead. End of the game, almost five
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: minutes left. You take the entire clock out of the
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: hands of the Jags and don't allow a very potent
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: offense back on the field with an opportunity to tie it.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: All those things are great.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: But there are other things that have to be corrected
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: too to make the game not that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Tight.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Now, On the other side of things, I was very
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: excited about the college football weekend. I thought both teams
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: in town had a big opportunity to prove that they
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: were different. And I will say I'm going to lend
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: a lot more grace to.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: CSU. That is year one of a brand new coach.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: And you're playing the number 11 team in the country.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Would you like to have seen it closer than what
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: the final score was? And look, you got some garbage
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: time points that made it seem, I guess, more reasonable.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: But BYU came in and lit you up.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: It was, what, 38-7 heading into the fourth quarter? And
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: they were toying with you. I mean, they had 300
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: and some yards on the ground. Whatever they wanted to
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: do on offense, they did. But I'm going to extend
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: a little bit more grace in year one for Jim
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Moore there. The Buffs game was really disappointing. Because you're
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: talking about, all right, you got a couple of wins
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: to start the year. You're playing against a Northwestern team
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: that is okay, not great. I do think that Northwestern
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: is probably... a worse football team than what Georgia Tech is.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong on that. They've only played two games
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: this year. But to get kicked that way against Northwestern,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: that hurts. Because you felt like you were in a
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: position where this team's going to do things a little
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: bit differently.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: And they just kind of rolled you. And Deion, do
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: we have the audio, Nelly?
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Deion, after the game, was talking about how some guys
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: were laughing after the loss, and he said this.
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: Well, I saw some guys fight and fighting through it,
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: offensively and defensively. Now, you did see a couple guys
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: that I just got on because I don't understand how
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: you can have joy in a loss, especially when I'm
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: upset and I'm walking right behind you. I don't understand that.
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: I can't never understand that because I want to win
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: every darn thing, and I can't understand how in the
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: world do you find joy or you can find a
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: laughing matter when I'm right behind you walking in. I
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: don't understand that, and I addressed it, and I'm going
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: to put my foot in it, not on it.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: That's Deion. I mean, you don't want to see that.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: You don't want to have after the game you hear
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: players giggling and laughing after you get kicked like that,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: but the Buffs, No, you're heading into Big 12 Conference
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: play now. Baylor is coming up this next week. That game,
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: by the way, I don't know if there's an early
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: line on that. Yeah, it's 10 points.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Baylor's favored.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: You're just like me. Trash!
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case. They still are doing
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: things better than what they did the previous years. I mean,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: it feels like in the area of the trenches, you know.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Northwestern came with 182 rushing yards. They did that on
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: 51 carries. It's not like they were steamrolling you on
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: the ground. You actually did, I think, a pretty good
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: job taking care of things on the ground. It was,
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: can somebody make a play and can you stop turning
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: the ball over? That's what killed you. I mean, you
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: had multiple turnovers in the first half that led to
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: just a gigantic lead for Northwestern. You can never find
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: a way to get back in the game. Ryan Harris
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: is going to talk to us at 8 o'clock this morning.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Talk a little college football, but a lot of Broncos
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: with him. Moe, you just walked in. Everybody's mad at
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: me this morning, just so you know. Because I'm doing
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: the same thing I did for a lot of last year.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I think it's a great win against the Jags. But
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: I can't ignore the first half and the bad things
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: that happened in the first half.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: What's this guy's deal? Yeah, that's what I'm getting at.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: What's this guy's deal? Am I wrong to think this way?
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: People just enjoy a win, and I get that. They
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: do enjoy a win. What you're trying to do is
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: look at the bigger picture, the long-term picture.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: And right now, people just want to be a pig
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: and slop and roll around in the mud and eat
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: some corn and do their thing.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: But I know I'm not alone, Moshe. They were being
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: booed in the first half. Yes, they were. And they
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: should have been.
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: But this blueprint, this is a last-year blueprint in a
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: big-time way.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's why I said, Nelly, you could queue up
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: a show from last year. We could just do that.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: I didn't hear that, sorry. But, I mean, this, we're
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: going to have to just come to grips with the
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: fact that that's who this team is, period.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: And we're just going to.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Have to live with it For the rest of our lives.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: You know what's crazy? It's like, that's a last year blueprint. Well,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: that blueprint got you the AFC championship. Maybe everything's fine.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe I am being too harsh on this.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Now, again, pointing out the great things, when you get
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: turnovers late in the game and you capitalize on that
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: and you do what the offense did in the second half,
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: that's awesome.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Why does it have to be that hard? That's the thing.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: It's like, I'm watching a team where I see what
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: they could be, which is dominant from start to finish.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know. We'll talk about it as we go
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: along today. The youth showed out in game one for
• 42:57
