- 0:02Speaker 1: This is the Appetizer Hour with Brett Cain on demand.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Check out Brett weekday mornings at 6 on Altitude Sports
- 0:10Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Purdy goes deep down the field and finds Demarcus Robinson.
- 0:33Speaker 2: It's a 39-yard touchdown strike, and with that, the 49ers
- 0:38Speaker 2: have reclaimed the lead. San Francisco 9, LA 7, 428
- 0:41Speaker 2: to go.
- 0:42Speaker 3: In the first half.
- 0:45Speaker 4: Purdy under center.
- 0:46Speaker 2: McCaffrey is the single back.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Two tight ends to the right.
- 0:49Speaker 4: Here's the snap.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Purdy back. Throws. Back left side of the end zone.
- 0:52Speaker 3: It is caught.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Touchdown 49ers.
- 0:55Speaker 3: And it's Mike Evans.
- 0:56Speaker 2: His first in a San Francisco uniform. It increases the
- 1:01Speaker 2: 49er lead to 16-7.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Kalon Black motions out to the left. Shotgun snap. Purdy back.
- 1:07Speaker 5: Looking left.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Has time.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Stutters his feet. Now moving to his right. He throws
- 1:11Speaker 3: toward the end zone. Caught. Touchdown 49ers.
- 1:13Speaker 2: It's Debo Samuel.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Bay.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Samuel pulls it in to give the 49ers a 23-7
- 1:22Speaker 2: lead here in the fourth quarter in Melbourne.
- 1:27Speaker 6: I'll tell you what, that tripped me out. I'm watching
- 1:30Speaker 6: this game. It's at night and it looks like it's
- 1:33Speaker 6: at 11 in the morning. Super bright outside. I think
- 1:38Speaker 6: there's one thing we can all agree on here. And
- 1:41Speaker 6: that is playing a division game. With two teams that
- 1:46Speaker 6: seem to be factoring into Super Bowl discussions. On a
- 1:52Speaker 6: Thursday in Australia to start the season seems pretty dumb.
- 1:56Speaker 3: It does. You could tell.
- 1:59Speaker 6: The strategy that was employed by the Rams of getting there,
- 2:04Speaker 6: you know, trying to stay on their own clock and
- 2:06Speaker 6: all that stuff did not work.
- 2:09Speaker 3: They looked incredibly sluggish.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Bunch of hogwash.
- 2:14Speaker 6: Stafford looked miserable in that game. Just could never really
- 2:20Speaker 6: find a rhythm. And I think, you know, at the
- 2:22Speaker 6: end of the day, you tip your cap over to
- 2:24Speaker 6: San Francisco and say, you guys handled it better. I mean,
- 2:28Speaker 6: we're all kind of wondering, what's the better strategy? Is
- 2:31Speaker 6: it to get there early and acclimate to a time change?
- 2:35Speaker 6: Or is it to try and get there as late
- 2:37Speaker 6: as possible and stick with your same sort of body clock?
- 2:44Speaker 6: And I don't think there's any question about it that
- 2:47Speaker 6: San Francisco handled that part better.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Now, here's the weird thing about the Niners. The Niners
- 2:53Speaker 3: have been so good for so.
- 2:54Speaker 6: Long, it's hard to imagine them not being just an
- 3:07Speaker 6: absolute dominant team every single year, but They deal with
- 3:15Speaker 6: so many injuries. Like when you look at last year,
- 3:19Speaker 6: they had no Fred Werner and Trent Williams was dealing
- 3:23Speaker 6: with stuff. And there was the Achilles with George Kittle.
- 3:26Speaker 6: And there's like a million different things that they had
- 3:30Speaker 6: to deal with. And they just continue to win. They
- 3:32Speaker 6: didn't have Brock Purdy for weeks last year. And Mac
- 3:37Speaker 6: Jones steps in and plays awesome. They're just, they're so solid.
- 3:43Speaker 6: In basically every single way. Funny thing about the Rams,
- 3:50Speaker 6: the Rams this year enter this season with giant expectations.
- 3:55Speaker 6: I think if you pulled a random NFL fan, or
- 4:00Speaker 6: let's say 10 random NFL fans, most of the answers
- 4:05Speaker 6: that you would get for who you would pick to
- 4:06Speaker 6: win the Super Bowl would be L.A. You look at
- 4:11Speaker 6: what they did last year, 12-5 record, NFC Championship game,
- 4:16Speaker 6: and they lose to Seattle, the eventual Super Bowl champs.
- 4:23Speaker 6: Their records last year, or I'm sorry, their games last year,
- 4:27Speaker 6: they didn't have a single double-digit loss the entire season,
- 4:31Speaker 6: and they lose by 20 in the opener with gigantic
- 4:34Speaker 6: expectations now. It's funny, I was watching a press conference
- 4:38Speaker 6: with Miles Garrett, And Miles Garrett had the look of
- 4:42Speaker 6: a dude who was like, I just left Cleveland. I
- 4:50Speaker 6: came here. We're supposed to be the best team in
- 4:52Speaker 6: the league. And we still got pounded just like I
- 4:56Speaker 6: did in Cleveland for a decade straight. Yeah, pretty much.
- 5:05Speaker 6: But Niners take it. Again, I'm kind of with Vic.
- 5:11Speaker 6: Vic thought this was stupid to play this game in Australia.
- 5:14Speaker 3: I tend to agree.
- 5:22Speaker 6: It just felt silly to have a game of, you know,
- 5:25Speaker 6: if this was, I don't know, if this was Browns-Panthers,
- 5:32Speaker 6: then fine. But the Rams just looked like they were
- 5:37Speaker 6: not From the very start of the game.
- 5:40Speaker 3: They just weren't in it. So 3-0-3.
- 5:44Speaker 6: 5-0-4.
- 5:44Speaker 7: 0-9-2-5.
- 5:46Speaker 6: Texas says I heard that one of the reasons the
- 5:49Speaker 6: Rams did that. Is so they didn't have to adjust
- 5:51Speaker 6: as much coming back. To their normal opponents in the states.
- 5:59Speaker 6: As normal games in the states.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Maybe.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Maybe.
- 6:04Speaker 6: But if you're just going to take one on the
- 6:07Speaker 6: chin in the opener, I don't think that you risk
- 6:10Speaker 6: the divisional game against another team who won 12 games.
- 6:14Speaker 6: That's the funny thing about last year. There's a bunch
- 6:19Speaker 6: of places you could point to if you're talking about
- 6:22Speaker 6: who are the best teams in the league or the
- 6:24Speaker 6: best divisions in the league. I mean, the AFC West
- 6:29Speaker 6: is up there with the Broncos, the Chargers, and the Chiefs.
- 6:33Speaker 6: The NFC North didn't have a single opponent that finished below.
- 6:35Speaker 6: 500 last year. But the NFC West, if you eliminate
- 6:40Speaker 6: the Cardinals who are terrible, there were three 12-win teams
- 6:44Speaker 6: in that division last year.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Three of them.
- 6:47Speaker 6: The Seahawks were 14-3. The Rams and Niners were both 12-5.
- 6:51Speaker 6: I don't think you're risking the divisional game as the
- 6:57Speaker 6: one that you punt on to start the year. I
- 7:01Speaker 6: think the strategy was, Don't get adjusted to a new clock.
- 7:06Speaker 6: Try and keep everybody on the same page, on the
- 7:08Speaker 6: same level. And we get to Australia, we treat that
- 7:15Speaker 6: like if it's 8 o'clock Pacific time, then we're going
- 7:20Speaker 6: to pretend it's 8 o'clock Pacific time.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I think that was their strategy. And just clearly it
- 7:26Speaker 3: was off. Something was off.
- 7:30Speaker 6: Like I'm telling you, just watching that game, it tripped
- 7:32Speaker 6: me out with how bright it was the entire game.
- 7:36Speaker 6: I mean, didn't it look like just on television that
- 7:41Speaker 6: you turn on your TV on a Sunday at 11?
- 7:42Speaker 6: Isn't that what it looked like? You ever been in like,
- 7:53Speaker 6: I could say something else. Actually, Nelly, can you play
- 7:56Speaker 6: it for me? Where has the best food What places
- 8:03Speaker 6: have the best food that people don't realize?
- 8:06Speaker 4: Most strip clubs got the best food.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Thank you, Carmelo.
- 8:09Speaker 6: Have you ever walked out of one of those places
- 8:11Speaker 6: and it's not nighttime?
- 8:14Speaker 3: That or maybe a casino?
- 8:17Speaker 6: And your eyes, you open up the casino doors, you're like, oh,
- 8:21Speaker 6: there's still sun? What have I done with my life?
- 8:25Speaker 6: It's one of those things. Like, I'm watching that game, like,
- 8:29Speaker 6: it's so bright. Can we dim the TV? No, your
- 8:33Speaker 6: phone has that little dimmer option on there. I wanted
- 8:36Speaker 6: to do that to my television. I'm like, this is,
- 8:38Speaker 6: this is not, it doesn't feel right to me.
- 8:40Speaker 8: You know how, for some reason in any Hollywood production,
- 8:43Speaker 8: when they travel to Mexico, the image is sepia tone
- 8:47Speaker 8: and weirdly yellow and off color.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Like, orangey.
- 8:52Speaker 7: Yes.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Yesterday's game was the exact opposite of that. It was amazing.
- 8:56Speaker 8: It looked like they were playing in some backlit snow globe,
- 8:59Speaker 8: like that amount of vivid light, I mean. And it
- 9:02Speaker 8: did throw me off, too, because I felt like Kyle Shanahan.
- 9:05Speaker 8: I have to dig up that cut of him going, well,
- 9:07Speaker 8: it's going to be Friday for us, but it's going
- 9:10Speaker 8: to be Thursday for them.
- 9:12Speaker 6: Yeah, go find that clip. I want to play that
- 9:14Speaker 6: again because he's so right about this. Never been to Australia.
- 9:21Speaker 6: But it is a weird concept. Again, if you guys
- 9:23Speaker 6: don't know this, Raheem Moore, Raheem Morris, isn't that his name?
- 9:28Speaker 3: The defensive coordinator? Yes.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Okay.
- 9:32Speaker 3: He had a birthday on September 3rd.
- 9:34Speaker 6: They flew out of San Francisco on September 2nd and
- 9:38Speaker 6: they landed on Australia on September 4th. He didn't have
- 9:41Speaker 6: a birthday. It's like the time change missed it. So
- 9:44Speaker 6: here's Kyle Shanahan talking about it.
- 9:46Speaker 9: We did our totally normal routine. I'm not sure because
- 9:48Speaker 9: we're Like I said, we're a little confused with, when
- 9:51Speaker 9: I look at my clock and it says the time
- 9:53Speaker 9: and then I try to see my family's time and
- 9:55Speaker 9: then it says the time but it says yesterday.
- 9:56Speaker 4: I don't even get how that's possible.
- 9:59Speaker 9: So I feel like I'm in the future and then
- 10:00Speaker 9: also when we play on our Friday which I think
- 10:02Speaker 9: is a Thursday in the U.S. we're such creatures of
- 10:04Speaker 9: habit so I call today Tuesday no wait sorry I
- 10:07Speaker 9: call today Wednesday which is the first day we put
- 10:09Speaker 9: in a game plan but I think it's Monday however
- 10:12Speaker 9: though it's Sunday in the present so like I'm going
- 10:15Speaker 9: to mess that up all week if you guys ask me.
- 10:17Speaker 9: But today is just our first day of the game plan,
- 10:19Speaker 9: which is a Wednesday. We'll put in some on a Thursday.
- 10:22Speaker 9: Friday is the final part of the game plan. Saturday,
- 10:25Speaker 9: we walk through when we play on Sunday, which is
- 10:27Speaker 9: a Friday in Australia and a Thursday in the U.S.
- 10:29Speaker 9: So don't ever make me do that again.
- 10:31Speaker 3: It's crazy. This is a great text. This is great. Honestly,
- 10:42Speaker 3: who cares about the game it's done and over with?
- 10:45Speaker 3: What do you think my job is? Go outside, nerd.
- 10:49Speaker 3: What do you think my vocation is? All right, guys.
- 10:55Speaker 6: The Broncos played on Sunday. To be fair, Nelly, who
- 11:02Speaker 6: cares about the game? It's done and over with. Let's
- 11:05Speaker 6: just move on and talk about others. What do you
- 11:07Speaker 6: think this is that you're listening to?
- 11:08Speaker 3: I ain't got time to be distracted by your worthless chime.
- 11:10Speaker 4: It's gone.
- 11:13Speaker 3: My job is to talk about the thing that's done
- 11:15Speaker 3: and over with. That's what I do.
- 11:18Speaker 8: I guess we have some time to see how the
- 11:20Speaker 8: rest of the season plays out. But initial reaction, do
- 11:23Speaker 8: you think that this experiment was a success that A,
- 11:27Speaker 8: the NFL will try to repeat, but more importantly, B,
- 11:31Speaker 8: the Players Association will sign off on?
- 11:35Speaker 3: Wait, you're talking about going to Australia for.
- 11:38Speaker 8: A regular season divisional opponent matchup.
- 11:40Speaker 6: I don't think the players association has any say in
- 11:43Speaker 6: this really. I think it's just kind of, this is,
- 11:48Speaker 6: I don't know if your boss tells you, Hey, you
- 11:50Speaker 6: have to go to Boston for the conference. I don't
- 11:56Speaker 6: think you say, let me check with the labor union
- 11:58Speaker 6: first and I'll get back to you. I just think
- 11:59Speaker 6: it's something that you have to go do if you're,
- 12:03Speaker 6: your employer says you have to go do this for work,
- 12:07Speaker 6: then you probably got to go do it. Now, this
- 12:12Speaker 6: isn't going to stop. I mean, we've seen plenty of
- 12:15Speaker 6: terrible football games in London. And the NFL, I think,
- 12:23Speaker 6: just cares about reaching new markets.
- 12:24Speaker 3: You know, I've said this before. The point in doing this,
- 12:32Speaker 3: it's not....
- 12:34Speaker 6: It's not something that's some sort of positive for the viewer.
- 12:39Speaker 6: It's the NFL's version of getting out. And when you
- 12:45Speaker 6: live in a tapped market, there is nobody in America
- 12:50Speaker 6: that doesn't know anything about football. And if they were
- 12:53Speaker 6: exposed to it, they'd become a fan. Everybody's aware of
- 12:56Speaker 6: football by the time they're two years old in this country.
- 13:00Speaker 6: And either you love football and you love the NFL or,
- 13:03Speaker 6: or you don't, and you don't care. The only way
- 13:07Speaker 6: you get new eyeballs, new people to buy, you know,
- 13:10Speaker 6: jerseys and all that different stuff, Sunday ticket subscriptions, is
- 13:16Speaker 6: to go abroad. But it just, I don't, I don't
- 13:24Speaker 6: like the idea of these being divisional games. I think
- 13:26Speaker 6: they're too important. to risk like a sluggish nature of
- 13:31Speaker 6: adjusting the time zones and nonsense like that. So 303-504-0925
- 13:38Speaker 6: broadcasting from the back is in Shanker studios, serious lawyers
- 13:41Speaker 6: for the seriously injured. It is a Bud Light football
- 13:45Speaker 6: Friday as we are starting that off again.
- 13:51Speaker 3: With a brand new NFL season.
- 13:53Speaker 6: What's weird is like, this would typically be the time
- 13:55Speaker 6: that we're talking about the Broncos and, and, seeing the matchup,
- 14:01Speaker 6: whatever team they have coming up. But since it's on
- 14:03Speaker 6: a Monday, we'll talk about the Broncos today. But we're
- 14:07Speaker 6: going to reserve a lot of that stuff for Monday
- 14:09Speaker 6: because they will be the sole game with the sole
- 14:12Speaker 6: eyeballs on them. So a whole bunch for us to
- 14:15Speaker 6: get to between the NFL. College football weekend.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Stick around.
- 14:19Speaker 6: It's Bud Light Football Friday. Bud Light, the official beer
- 14:22Speaker 6: sponsor of the Denver Broncos. Remember to enjoy responsibly. We
- 14:25Speaker 6: have a whole bunch of great college football games coming
- 14:28Speaker 6: up this weekend. Look, for the first time, what did
- 14:35Speaker 6: Vic say for the first time since 1996? Both the
- 14:39Speaker 6: Buffs and the Rams are 1-0. be the first time
- 14:44Speaker 6: since like 93 or something like that this week, if
- 14:47Speaker 6: they can both win, that they would both start the
- 14:51Speaker 6: season 2-0, and God, I'd hope so. CU plays against
- 14:56Speaker 6: Weber State, and CSU has Southern Utah. I would hope
- 15:05Speaker 6: both of those would result in both teams being 2-0.
- 15:08Speaker 6: They're both favored, I think CSU's by like.
- 15:11Speaker 3: 21, and Colorado's in the 30s.
- 15:14Speaker 6: So should be able to take care of business there,
- 15:17Speaker 6: but as far as big-time matchups in college football, there's
- 15:20Speaker 6: one gigantic one, which is Ohio State and Texas, which
- 15:27Speaker 6: is going to be at 530.
- 15:27Speaker 3: It will be right here.
- 15:30Speaker 6: On Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 tomorrow night. One thing I
- 15:36Speaker 6: was thinking about, though, as we head into Monday and
- 15:38Speaker 6: try and kick off this Broncos season, I'm.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Really curious at how much is Sean Payton actually going
- 15:53Speaker 3: to let go of the play calling? He is someone
- 16:01Speaker 3: who has been in control for a couple of decades.
- 16:11Speaker 3: That's all he's done. is be the head coach and
- 16:16Speaker 3: call plays.
- 16:18Speaker 6: He took like a one-year hiatus to go and talk
- 16:22Speaker 6: about football, then came right back with the Broncos. And
- 16:27Speaker 6: ever since then, I mean, think about this. He was
- 16:31Speaker 6: the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants from 2000
- 16:36Speaker 6: to 2002. He was with the Cowboys from 03 to
- 16:43Speaker 6: 05 as the assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach. Then
- 16:46Speaker 6: he takes over for the Saints in 2006 and since
- 16:50Speaker 6: then has been calling plays for teams that he's coached
- 16:54Speaker 6: ever since, including the year that he was suspended and
- 16:58Speaker 6: he went to be the offensive coordinator at Liberty Christian
- 17:02Speaker 6: High School in Texas in 2012. When he's on the
- 17:07Speaker 6: football field on a game day, he's got the play
- 17:09Speaker 6: sheet in his hands. He does not this year. The
- 17:14Speaker 6: question is, how much can you actually let that go?
- 17:20Speaker 6: And to be honest with you, I think it's going
- 17:23Speaker 6: to be incredibly difficult for him. And I just go
- 17:27Speaker 6: back to some quotes that he had from earlier this
- 17:30Speaker 6: year during training camp, after preseason games. Where he was asked,
- 17:38Speaker 6: and in fact, Nelly, can you look this up? This
- 17:39Speaker 6: is after preseason game number one. I believe it was
- 17:44Speaker 6: the post-game press conference when he was asked about how
- 17:49Speaker 6: was it in your new role of not calling plays?
- 17:56Speaker 6: And if you read that in transcript form, everything seemed fine.
- 18:01Speaker 6: But there was a tone to it where I'm like,
- 18:03Speaker 6: I feel like he hates it. Like, this is what
- 18:07Speaker 6: he's done forever. And Coach Sanford was on with us
- 18:11Speaker 6: in the last segment yesterday, and we asked him about this.
- 18:14Speaker 6: And he said he coached, he was the offensive coordinator
- 18:18Speaker 6: for somebody who was in a similar situation to Sean Payton,
- 18:21Speaker 6: called plays his entire life.
- 18:24Speaker 3: And he said it was miserable.
- 18:26Speaker 6: The guy was in my ear every five seconds about
- 18:29Speaker 6: what he thought should happen.
- 18:32Speaker 3: And it's just, it's hard to.
- 18:38Speaker 6: It's hard to do your job with freedom when you're
- 18:41Speaker 6: being micromanaged. And I think Sean Payton needs to be
- 18:46Speaker 6: very aware of he's the head coach. He can give
- 18:50Speaker 6: input on whatever he wants, whenever he wants. But he
- 18:53Speaker 6: also needs to let Davis Webb feel as if.
- 18:59Speaker 3: He's the guy.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Like, it's got to happen. He has to have the
- 19:07Speaker 6: freedom to do his job. And more importantly, Davis Webb
- 19:11Speaker 6: has to have the freedom to make a mistake.
- 19:16Speaker 3: To mess something up.
- 19:19Speaker 6: Everybody in whatever line of work you're in needs to
- 19:23Speaker 6: have that. You have to feel as if if I
- 19:28Speaker 6: make a mistake. I'm not going to have somebody take
- 19:31Speaker 6: the wheel again, which is another one of those quotes
- 19:34Speaker 6: that I heard from Sean Payton earlier this year. Where
- 19:37Speaker 6: he said, it's going to be like driver's ed. Davis
- 19:41Speaker 6: Webb's going to be behind the wheel, but I'll have
- 19:43Speaker 6: the brake and I'll have the steering wheel on my
- 19:45Speaker 6: side of the car too. It's like, I don't think
- 19:47Speaker 6: that that's how this should operate. The extent of what
- 19:52Speaker 6: he does should be in the game planning for the week,
- 19:54Speaker 6: what he wants the offense to look like. If there's
- 19:57Speaker 6: major decisions, should we go for it here?
- 19:59Speaker 3: If we are going for it on fourth down, what
- 20:01Speaker 3: play call should we run?
- 20:02Speaker 6: Maybe you're having a back and forth on that, but
- 20:05Speaker 6: there needs to be.
- 20:07Speaker 3: A level of freedom there.
- 20:09Speaker 6: For Davis Webb, and I think that part of it's
- 20:11Speaker 6: going to be really difficult for Sean Payton. I just
- 20:16Speaker 6: go back to, you know, when Russell Wilson was the
- 20:20Speaker 6: quarterback here. And I forget which game it was.
- 20:23Speaker 3: Was it Detroit, maybe?
- 20:26Speaker 6: We're there at the goal line. Russell Wilson audibled. And
- 20:33Speaker 6: went to another play. Sean Payton was pissed, got to
- 20:36Speaker 6: the sideline. That's where he had the screaming incident. where
- 20:39Speaker 6: Russell Wilson just kind of took it. And for the record,
- 20:42Speaker 6: so did Davis Webb, who was talking to Russell Wilson
- 20:44Speaker 6: at that time. But Sean Payton was like, I made
- 20:47Speaker 6: the play call because I believed in this play, and
- 20:50Speaker 6: you did your own thing.
- 20:51Speaker 3: That's not what I want. Let's see.
- 20:56Speaker 6: Nelly says, he gave me a stank face and said,
- 21:01Speaker 6: I think I have it.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Let's listen. That was my good Vance Joseph.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Josh Allen.
- 21:05Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, Sean Payton rambles and sometimes finding the
- 21:08Speaker 8: exact quote you want is like a needle in.
- 21:09Speaker 3: A haystack, but here's a bit of what I think
- 21:11Speaker 3: you were talking about.
- 21:12Speaker 4: It was smooth.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:13Speaker 10: I mean, I felt like, I think maybe there was
- 21:16Speaker 10: a player too. We got down to three seconds, but
- 21:18Speaker 10: the subs were good. Davis was on point. Um, yeah,
- 21:22Speaker 10: I thought the cues did a good job in and
- 21:23Speaker 10: out of the huddle. And again, you know, we had
- 21:26Speaker 10: a couple of guys coming in Palcho and Alex that
- 21:30Speaker 10: were working out before the game, you know, are they
- 21:33Speaker 10: going to play?
- 21:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:34Speaker 3: I don't think this one's it. That's okay. Um, I'll
- 21:38Speaker 3: just paraphrase it. It's fine.
- 21:40Speaker 6: But he was talking about like, how's your transition to
- 21:44Speaker 6: not being the guy with the play sheet?
- 21:45Speaker 3: And he said, yeah, it's fine.
- 21:48Speaker 6: And I've heard it's fine a lot in my life
- 21:51Speaker 6: from somebody who shares a house with me and wears
- 21:54Speaker 6: a wedding ring.
- 21:58Speaker 3: I know what that is.
- 22:00Speaker 6: And I think part of that is like, I think
- 22:02Speaker 6: he's white knuckling and gritting his teeth through this. And
- 22:06Speaker 6: it's going to take time. And I have the same
- 22:10Speaker 6: questions that everybody else has, which is this. What if
- 22:14Speaker 6: this thing doesn't go well at the beginning of the year?
- 22:20Speaker 6: We all kind of assume, or I guess assume is
- 22:23Speaker 6: the wrong word. We have high hopes for this offense
- 22:27Speaker 6: with a new play caller. And I am very optimistic
- 22:33Speaker 6: about what Davis Webb can bring to the table. But
- 22:39Speaker 6: we've seen over the last couple of years, the offense
- 22:43Speaker 6: can start slow. Not just in individual games, but in
- 22:48Speaker 6: the beginning of the season. If you get out, especially
- 22:53Speaker 6: with this type of schedule to start the year, the
- 22:59Speaker 6: first six weeks, which are really difficult. If you go
- 23:04Speaker 6: out and you have a sputtering offense, that maybe he
- 23:09Speaker 6: has a couple of turnovers, you aren't scoring that many points,
- 23:13Speaker 6: it looks a little inconsistent and discombobulated. What's funny is
- 23:17Speaker 6: that wouldn't be much different than what we've seen before
- 23:19Speaker 6: at the beginning of seasons, but because it's a new
- 23:22Speaker 6: play caller, how much leash does Davis Webb truly have here?
- 23:32Speaker 6: And for his sake, I hope that at the beginning
- 23:37Speaker 6: of the season, The Broncos offense gets out to a
- 23:40Speaker 6: hot start.
- 23:44Speaker 3: All right, Nelly tells me, try this one out for size.
- 23:47Speaker 3: Let's see.
- 23:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, I thought the flow was good. I
- 23:51Speaker 4: thought he did a good job. The substitutions were clean.
- 23:54Speaker 7: Pause.
- 23:55Speaker 3: This is perfect. Nelly, I think this is what I'm
- 23:56Speaker 3: looking for.
- 23:57Speaker 6: And I want you, if you talk to any, like,
- 24:02Speaker 6: body language expert, it's why we always go back to
- 24:08Speaker 6: the Steve Ballmer clip. when they're talking about the aspiration
- 24:11Speaker 6: company and he gives you, look, they conned me. Anytime
- 24:18Speaker 6: you get the high pitched voice, if you're on a
- 24:23Speaker 6: lie detector, it's like deception indicated.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Okay. When you go, yeah, yeah.
- 24:29Speaker 4: Look, they conned me.
- 24:32Speaker 3: Nelly asked me some sort of question, some accusation question.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Accused me of something.
- 24:37Speaker 8: Brett, you have never shown up to this show before 5.59
- 24:42Speaker 8: and 50 seconds on any given day.
- 24:43Speaker 3: I show up here like at 5.55 a lot. Usually.
- 24:52Speaker 5: That's a setup.
- 24:53Speaker 3: Leads to a lie. By the way, Nelly is totally true.
- 24:56Speaker 3: I am usually walking in as the intro music is going.
- 25:00Speaker 8: I told that to Scott Hastings one time and he
- 25:02Speaker 8: was like, kindred spirits.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Man after my heart.
- 25:06Speaker 8: Yeah, because he doesn't show up until 11.59 and 55 seconds.
- 25:09Speaker 8: But this sound bite that I pulled, this was from
- 25:12Speaker 8: the Monday after the first preseason game.
- 25:14Speaker 3: That's what I'm looking for. At his media availability.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Perfect.
- 25:17Speaker 3: So listen to it again. Hey, Sean Payton, what do
- 25:19Speaker 3: you think of the new role you're in?
- 25:22Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I thought the flow was good. I
- 25:24Speaker 4: thought he did a good job. The substitutions were clean
- 25:28Speaker 4: and Yeah, it went pretty smooth.
- 25:30Speaker 3: What about your role?
- 25:31Speaker 4: Yeah, felt pretty comfortable with it.
- 25:33Speaker 10: You know, all the things that you're looking at closely
- 25:38Speaker 10: during the game, some situational stuff that comes up, maybe
- 25:41Speaker 10: you make a note that you're going to want to
- 25:43Speaker 10: talk about, but I thought overall I was pleased with it.
- 25:48Speaker 6: Look, again, they're in this for the long haul, and
- 25:53Speaker 6: I don't think Sean Payton's going to have some, like,
- 26:01Speaker 6: quick hook on Davis web if, if they struggle, but
- 26:07Speaker 6: there's a lot of, yeah.
- 26:08Speaker 4: Uh, I, um, uh, did a good job. The substitutions
- 26:15Speaker 4: were clean and.
- 26:17Speaker 3: How about go back to, and what about your role?
- 26:22Speaker 3: What about your role?
- 26:23Speaker 4: Yeah, felt pretty comfortable with it. Yeah, I was pretty comfortable.
- 26:27Speaker 6: I wanted to kill everybody on the sideline a few times.
- 26:31Speaker 6: I really just wanted to boot everybody out of here
- 26:33Speaker 6: and maybe the only one wearing the headset.
- 26:35Speaker 3: But overall, pretty good. Pretty good. Any other questions about
- 26:40Speaker 3: me not calling plays? Get bent. I just think that
- 26:46Speaker 3: part of it is going to be really hard for him.
- 26:49Speaker 3: And I give him full credit. Like, For you to
- 26:54Speaker 3: do this, and I know.
- 26:58Speaker 6: As we all get older, we have to let go
- 27:00Speaker 6: of some things and take a step back and do
- 27:04Speaker 6: all of that. But there's also a stubbornness as we
- 27:09Speaker 6: all age. And I think for him to give up
- 27:12Speaker 6: that much control is a very mature thing for a
- 27:19Speaker 6: guy like who's been in the league as long as
- 27:21Speaker 6: he has. It's a very mature thing for him in
- 27:25Speaker 6: the way he handled it.
- 27:29Speaker 3: But the big thing about Davis Webb.
- 27:32Speaker 6: Is how much can you get things going earlier in games?
- 27:38Speaker 6: How much more can you find a rhythm? And I'm
- 27:41Speaker 6: really curious to see how he's going to, how he's
- 27:44Speaker 6: going to be mama bird here. And picking who to
- 27:48Speaker 6: feed in his nest and how much to feed them.
- 27:53Speaker 6: If you ask me right now, my answer is straight up,
- 27:55Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 27:56Speaker 3: For who's going to lead the team in catches. I
- 27:59Speaker 3: have no idea. It could be Cortland. It could be
- 28:06Speaker 3: Jalen Waddell.
- 28:10Speaker 6: I don't know how many catches guys like Troy Franklin
- 28:13Speaker 6: or Pat Bryant or Marvin Mims are going to get.
- 28:16Speaker 6: You know, little Jordan Humphrey is on this roster. What's
- 28:21Speaker 6: your run pass splits? Like, what do those look like? Like,
- 28:24Speaker 6: there's a ton of questions that I think Davis Webb is.
- 28:29Speaker 6: And look, it's a good situation to be in when
- 28:35Speaker 6: you feel comfortable enough getting the ball to X amount
- 28:37Speaker 6: of people. But Davis Webb the other day, if you
- 28:42Speaker 6: guys remember, Cortland Sutton was talking about Bo Nix.
- 28:44Speaker 3: He said this.
- 28:45Speaker 7: Knowing just how he is, I'm looking forward to watching
- 28:47Speaker 7: him go out there and shake on Monday night because
- 28:51Speaker 7: he's like that, I don't know, like a mountain lion
- 28:55Speaker 7: that's in the zoo that's just pacing. I saw a
- 28:58Speaker 7: mountain lion at the Colorado Zoo. He was just pacing
- 29:01Speaker 7: back and forth, and I was like, y'all don't want
- 29:02Speaker 7: that boy to get out. It's not going to be good.
- 29:04Speaker 7: But that's what Bo reminded me of. Mentally, you could
- 29:07Speaker 7: tell that he's just like, I'm ready to go do this.
- 29:10Speaker 3: So this is Davis Webb commenting on that.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:14Speaker 5: Now I can't unsee it, to be honest with you.
- 29:16Speaker 5: He is a lurker. He does pace. He's always thinking,
- 29:19Speaker 5: but he's also very stealthy. So I think that's pretty
- 29:22Speaker 5: dang good. I'm going to give court some props there.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Here's the other thing.
- 29:27Speaker 6: He was asked about Sean Payton, and this was how
- 29:30Speaker 6: Sean Payton helps him on game days, how he's helped him.
- 29:34Speaker 3: Through the course of the preseason games. Here's what he said.
- 29:38Speaker 5: I think game day is going to be similar to
- 29:39Speaker 5: what has been the preseason. You know, he's been awesome
- 29:41Speaker 5: throughout the game. You know, he has his few pointers
- 29:43Speaker 5: here and there, and they're all very productive pointers. I mean,
- 29:47Speaker 5: he's 62 years old.
- 29:48Speaker 4: I'm 31.
- 29:48Speaker 5: It is what it is. He has a lot more
- 29:51Speaker 5: experience than me. Even the last few nights, I mean,
- 29:53Speaker 5: he's given us five to ten nuggets that has really
- 29:56Speaker 5: benefited us going through the game, playing meetings. It's still
- 29:58Speaker 5: a Sean Payton offense, and That's how we want to
- 30:00Speaker 5: operate it.
- 30:01Speaker 3: That's the thing.
- 30:03Speaker 6: The great part about where Davis Webb is at, think
- 30:05Speaker 6: about this, you're a first-time play caller. You didn't come
- 30:09Speaker 6: to some new situation looking to rescue an offense that is,
- 30:13Speaker 6: you know, dog vomit. You're in the same place with
- 30:18Speaker 6: the same personnel that you know on a team that
- 30:21Speaker 6: returned last 46 of their, no, 47 of their 53-man
- 30:26Speaker 6: roster last year. Offense, virtually the entire thing is the same,
- 30:32Speaker 6: with the exception of you brought in one of the
- 30:34Speaker 6: most electric route runners in the league in Jalen Waddell.
- 30:38Speaker 3: You can't, you couldn't dream a.
- 30:44Speaker 6: Better scenario for a first-time play caller than where Davis
- 30:47Speaker 6: Webb is at right now. And to have the added
- 30:50Speaker 6: benefit of Sean Payton helping you, who's been one of
- 30:55Speaker 6: the most productive offensive play callers of this generation of
- 30:59Speaker 6: the NFL, like you're in a perfect spot.
- 31:04Speaker 3: And I think that all led to why he came back.
- 31:08Speaker 3: They probably had.
- 31:09Speaker 6: A conversation with him when he was interviewing for different
- 31:11Speaker 6: offensive coordinator and head coaching gigs in the off season
- 31:14Speaker 6: and said, you know what? If you stay here, we'll
- 31:19Speaker 6: give you the job. And he's like, I, if, If
- 31:23Speaker 6: he has success this year, think about it. If Davis
- 31:27Speaker 6: Webb does a great job and the Broncos, you know,
- 31:30Speaker 6: their offense is top 10-ish in the NFL and you're
- 31:35Speaker 6: back in the playoffs and in the AFC championship game,
- 31:39Speaker 6: he could pick his job next year if he wants it.
- 31:45Speaker 6: So a lot more audio to get to as we
- 31:46Speaker 6: go along.
- 31:47Speaker 4: 303-504-0925.
- 31:49Speaker 3: It is a Bud Light football Friday back after this.
- 31:52Speaker 3: All right. So as we get things rolling here for
- 31:55Speaker 3: the weekend that it will be in.
- 31:57Speaker 6: Football, because it is, it is a Bud Light football Friday.
- 32:02Speaker 6: High school football is on altitude tonight. Arvada West takes
- 32:06Speaker 6: on Pine Creek at seven. Vic Lombardi, Tyler Columbus on
- 32:08Speaker 6: the call. Watch on Altitude TV or listen on Altitude
- 32:12Speaker 6: Sports Radio 92.5. Financial decisions can stack up fast. Wings
- 32:16Speaker 6: Credit Union can help. Let's figure it out together. Um,
- 32:20Speaker 6: college football weekend. You had the, a lot of Patsy
- 32:24Speaker 6: games in week one. You're going to have some more
- 32:26Speaker 6: of these in week two, but there is some bigger matchups.
- 32:30Speaker 6: You have Oregon and Oklahoma state. You have Arizona state
- 32:33Speaker 6: and Texas A & M. You have Oklahoma and Michigan, uh, Alabama, Kentucky, Arizona, BYU.
- 32:42Speaker 6: There's some big games, including the biggest one, which is
- 32:46Speaker 6: at five 30 tomorrow, Ohio state and Texas. Um, This
- 32:52Speaker 6: weekend in college football is always fun because they're kind
- 32:55Speaker 6: of smushing these in-state rivalry games sorted together in some places.
- 33:00Speaker 3: Like Iowa State always plays around this time.
- 33:05Speaker 6: I just think you're going to get a lot better
- 33:08Speaker 6: read after this week on what's legitimate and what's not.
- 33:12Speaker 6: The two things that I'm looking for outside the big
- 33:14Speaker 6: game of Ohio State and Texas. I want to see
- 33:17Speaker 6: how Michigan responds to the embarrassment that they've suffered this
- 33:23Speaker 6: really a week, a week's long of shaming of that team.
- 33:27Speaker 6: Questions about their quarterback, Bryce Underwood. They're taking on the
- 33:30Speaker 6: number 11 team in the country in Oklahoma.
- 33:33Speaker 3: How do you handle that?
- 33:35Speaker 6: They aren't even putting a spread on this game that
- 33:37Speaker 6: I can see right now. They're just hanging on to it.
- 33:40Speaker 6: So it's a huge, huge game to see how they
- 33:46Speaker 6: bounce back. The dumbest thing that I think I've seen
- 33:51Speaker 6: in college football, though, And we didn't really discuss it. Oh,
- 33:57Speaker 6: by the way, before I get to that, I know
- 34:00Speaker 6: that Miami was playing Florida A & M yesterday. Did
- 34:06Speaker 6: you see that they put up 856 yards of offense.
- 34:09Speaker 3: In that game?
- 34:10Speaker 5: 856.
- 34:15Speaker 6: Now Miami in these first couple of weeks, yes, they
- 34:17Speaker 6: played against Stanford in the first game. Stanford's awful though. Um,
- 34:25Speaker 6: This Darian Mensah kid looks like a very, very legitimate
- 34:31Speaker 6: answer to what are you going to replace Carson back with?
- 34:34Speaker 8: Well, and did you see in that game that you're
- 34:36Speaker 8: talking about, they didn't even play the full 60 minutes.
- 34:40Speaker 8: The coaches came out and agreed at the start of
- 34:42Speaker 8: the fourth quarter to only play a 10-minute fourth quarter,
- 34:45Speaker 8: which– Because, who was Miami playing?
- 34:48Speaker 3: Florida A & M.
- 34:49Speaker 8: They were getting, I think they were up 77-0 at
- 34:52Speaker 8: that point or something, and I did not know this,
- 34:54Speaker 8: but there was another game where this happened last week,
- 34:56Speaker 8: and DMACC was talking about it on PhD. There's a
- 34:58Speaker 8: rule in college football where if the coaches, if it's
- 35:01Speaker 8: such a big blowout, the coaches can agree to play
- 35:04Speaker 8: a shortened fourth quarter, and then it goes to 10
- 35:06Speaker 8: minutes instead of 15.
- 35:07Speaker 3: And part of me is like, I would rather.
- 35:13Speaker 6: Look, man, you're playing football. I think you just play
- 35:15Speaker 6: 60 minutes. Even if you're getting your butt kicked, you
- 35:17Speaker 6: take your butt whipping like a man and move on.
- 35:21Speaker 6: There is something to be said when it's 77 to
- 35:24Speaker 6: nothing through three quarters.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Why are we risking anybody getting hurt? Why are we
- 35:32Speaker 3: doing this?
- 35:34Speaker 6: And is it really cutting down the last five minutes
- 35:37Speaker 6: of a game? Does that really do my, I don't know, whatever. Um,
- 35:43Speaker 6: But 856 yards of offense, and the Mensah kid, he
- 35:48Speaker 6: looks like he's going to be up there for, you know,
- 35:55Speaker 6: if Miami continues to win, especially at this clip, and
- 35:57Speaker 6: the first real test that they have, think about this
- 36:01Speaker 6: for a second.
- 36:02Speaker 3: Here's what they have coming up. It's Wake Forest. It's
- 36:05Speaker 3: Central Michigan.
- 36:07Speaker 6: It's Clemson, who, judging by how they played LSU in
- 36:10Speaker 6: week one, looks like that's going to be Pretty easy
- 36:14Speaker 6: game as well. Florida State, Pitt, North Carolina. They're going
- 36:20Speaker 6: to do some winning here in the next month and
- 36:23Speaker 6: a half. And he's probably going to be up there with,
- 36:26Speaker 6: you know, some of the bigger names in college football
- 36:28Speaker 6: for Heisman candidates and all that stuff. Now, the dumbest
- 36:35Speaker 6: story that I've seen in college football, and we didn't
- 36:37Speaker 6: talk about it much because it was stupid. But this
- 36:41Speaker 6: is how weird things are getting and weirder by the
- 36:45Speaker 6: day in college football. The SEC had a meeting on
- 36:55Speaker 6: if they were going to expel LSU from the conference.
- 37:00Speaker 6: And what a hollow and empty threat all of that was.
- 37:07Speaker 6: They were having a meeting to make a decision on
- 37:11Speaker 6: whether to terminate Louisiana State University. Quote, those discussions will
- 37:20Speaker 6: continue as conference and its member universities work towards an
- 37:24Speaker 6: appropriate resolution. They didn't come up with any sanctions after
- 37:31Speaker 6: the presidents and chancellors and the SEC met on Thursday.
- 37:35Speaker 3: But think about this for a second.
- 37:38Speaker 6: What are you going to do? You're going to ban
- 37:42Speaker 6: LSU from the conference? A cash cow?
- 37:47Speaker 3: A team that.
- 37:50Speaker 3: God, I don't want to say... Is it... Not most recently.
- 37:56Speaker 6: LSU won the national title in, was it like 2019
- 37:59Speaker 6: or something like that? 2020, somewhere in that ballpark. But
- 38:01Speaker 6: recently won a national title. Had a Heisman Trophy winner
- 38:06Speaker 6: just a few years ago in Jade Daniels.
- 38:12Speaker 3: I'm going to expel you from... No, you're not. And
- 38:15Speaker 3: that's the whole thing.
- 38:16Speaker 6: It's part of the reason why I know he's a Richard,
- 38:20Speaker 6: but it's part of the reason why I kind of
- 38:22Speaker 6: like Lane Kiffin is that he just looked at him
- 38:24Speaker 6: and he held those pro players making the roster thing
- 38:30Speaker 6: to the final second. And I think it was a
- 38:33Speaker 6: staring contest just to be like, you have nothing to
- 38:37Speaker 6: threaten me with. Expel me from the conference, my ass.
- 38:44Speaker 6: You ain't booting us from anything. And I kind of
- 38:48Speaker 6: like that he was just willing to stare them in
- 38:51Speaker 6: the face and be like, all of your threats are empty.
- 38:55Speaker 3: All of them.
- 38:58Speaker 6: And it reminds me a lot of like a Steve
- 39:02Speaker 6: Ballmer-Clipper situation. There is a fear that if you do anything,
- 39:09Speaker 6: you don't want me going around pointing fingers either.
- 39:17Speaker 3: But it is, it was the dumbest thing ever.
- 39:20Speaker 6: And I know that the SEC likes to fashion themselves
- 39:24Speaker 6: as like the gods of college football.
- 39:29Speaker 3: That what we see, goes and blah, blah, blah. There
- 39:33Speaker 3: was nothing they could do to LSU. Hit them with
- 39:37Speaker 3: a sanction?
- 39:38Speaker 4: Okay.
- 39:40Speaker 3: Expel them from the conference? Get out of here. Oh,
- 39:44Speaker 3: I got an idea. Here's what we're going to do.
- 39:50Speaker 6: Hey, Dallas Cowboys, if you don't follow X rule that
- 39:54Speaker 6: we've come up with, we're going to boot.
- 39:56Speaker 3: You from the NFL.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Sure.
- 40:02Speaker 3: It's so ridiculous. So 303-504-0925. Nelly, I almost forgot. It's Friday.
- 40:06Speaker 3: Do it. Everybody sing it.
- 40:22Speaker 1: Get it, Nelly.
- 40:27Speaker 7: Get it.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Get it.
- 40:47Speaker 6: We do it every Friday during the football season. I
- 40:53Speaker 6: have two bets for you, a lock of the week
- 40:56Speaker 6: and an underdog of the week. First, I'm looking towards
- 41:01Speaker 6: the Oklahoma State.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 41:05Speaker 6: They've been terrible. They were awful last year. They opened
- 41:08Speaker 6: up their season against Tulsa at Tulsa. They lost 24
- 41:11Speaker 6: to 10. Now, Oklahoma State is taking on Oregon. Here's
- 41:20Speaker 6: the problem. The spread's 23 and a half. I don't
- 41:24Speaker 6: think that's nearly enough for Oregon. I think they're going
- 41:28Speaker 6: to smoke Okie State by about 35 to 40. Give
- 41:32Speaker 6: me Oregon covering 23 and a half this weekend. And
- 41:35Speaker 6: then finally, guys, it's NFL.
- 41:39Speaker 3: Opening week.
- 41:40Speaker 6: I have to pick an underdog in the NFL. There's
- 41:44Speaker 6: a few different options. All of these games are basically
- 41:48Speaker 6: single-digit spreads. But there's one game that I'm looking at
- 41:51Speaker 6: in particular of a team just to cover.
- 41:54Speaker 7: Cover.
- 41:56Speaker 6: And the Bucs are getting three and a half points
- 41:59Speaker 6: at Cincinnati. I know everybody's high on the Bengals with
- 42:02Speaker 6: Burrow coming back. I think the Bucs cover the three
- 42:05Speaker 6: and a half. There's your two. 303, 504, 0925. A
- 42:10Speaker 6: bunch to get to here. The opening weekend of the
- 42:12Speaker 6: NFL is among us. Moise Lombardi and Kane starts next.
