• 0:36
  Speaker 4: big picture, the Broncos are 3-2. They've accomplished the goal
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: that I think everybody kind of had for them, which
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: is get through this first six weeks 500 or better.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: If you can pull a win out in Seattle, I mean,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: you're in great shape.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: But you're at a minimum going to be three and
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: three through six weeks, which is kind of what we
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: all looked for.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: That's big picture.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Broncos still have that. They're able to navigate close games
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: better than other teams. They have that. It's a poise.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: It's a resilience. And it starts with the coaches. They
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: can figure out close games. That's a big deal. All right. Now,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to get nitpicky, we welcome our man, Ryan Harris, longtime
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman for the Denver Broncos. And when he watches
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a game, he may watch it a little differently than
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: we do. Is Ryan available and ready? Ryan, you there? Yes, yes.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And he joins us.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: On the Ramos... I am here. Can you see me? Hello. Hello, everybody.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Happy Victory Monday. How about that, huh? How about them apples?
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: So Ryan joins us on the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Ryan, yes. Victory Monday. Ryan, why am I not happy?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Why am I an unhappy person every week? Every Monday,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm unhappy.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: But first... First and foremost, this time, you're unhappy because
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: that game should not have been that close. I mean,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: thank goodness for this defense of the Broncos. Hello, Nick Benito.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Where you been? Love you. Good to see you. I mean,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Alex Singleton again. Hufango, hopefully he's going to be okay.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: But that was a bad Chargers team who played bad.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Nine penalties. And I mean, on some of the offensive
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: production that we saw from the Broncos, Those drives had
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: a huge penalty by the Chargers. One of them, pretty
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: knick-knack if you're talking about, I believe it was the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Waddle one where the guy's kind of touching him as
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: he turns back around. So you're not happy at the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: way the Broncos went about their business on offense. But
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: you can't be upset with the W. This is one
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: of those wins, though, that you can go in. If
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: you're the coaching staff, you can go in and go
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: hard on the players because they did not do well
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: enough against a bad team.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Ryan, is Bo Nix good enough?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: He's doing fine. You know, Bo Nix is doing fine.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: He just answered your question without answering your question. Yeah,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the little high pitch, fine. He's fine.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: He's doing fine.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: He's fine. Is $ 55 million or $ 60 million fine?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, my Lord.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Look, you want to complain about the price of groceries.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? You got to talk to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the person greater than the one buying it. And Bo
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Nix makes the plays. I mean, that Courtland Sutton touchdown,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: that ball was right between the one and the four, right?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, because that's because the Chargers opted not to play defense.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure. That guy might be fired today.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know what he was doing. He was playing
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: like an attached man in the red zone. I don't know.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Bo Nix is the franchise quarterback. He's a
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: top five quarterback in the NFL, in my opinion. Once
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: he settles down, and this is two years in a
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: row now, every game he's so excited. But let's be clear,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: he can't even set up half the time when he's passing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Can't go on two, because if you try and do that,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: one or two linemen are going to jump. You can't
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: find your tight ends good enough. So, I mean, it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: kind of, there's just not enough consistency there on offense
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: for anybody to get a real evaluation, play callers or players.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Why not? Can they not run the ball consistently? I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: know everybody says, well, they average 3.7. Man, you watch
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the same game. What is wrong with the run game, Ryan?
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: The number one issue is they have to get under
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: center with Bo Nix. This whole J.K. Dobbins, he's on
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: my left. Is he going to go left, guys? No,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: he's going right. He has to cross my face to
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: take the football. Now, you watch San Francisco play. You're
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: under center. Which way are they going? I don't know.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I better play it a little more even. So they
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: have to get that done. And one thing we learned
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the year we won the Super Bowl was that when
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: you're under center, the ball gets to the quarterback a
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: full second faster to the line of scrimmage. And that's
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: where these Broncos need to jump to. It's not enough
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to have J.K. Dobbins going three steps left and then downhill.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: That's not a run. A run is I'm going to
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: turn around, hand the ball off, and at least one
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: person is smacking you in the face.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: So why won't they go under center?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: More.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Well, they probably have some past checks and a lot
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: of coaches just don't think about that versus the focus
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: on just calling the run. And they might like some
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: runs from the gun and how they look. And hey,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: if you get two down, then you're going to get
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: a one-on-one matchup with Waddle. So you got some options there.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: But the biggest thing is you got to get under
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the center. You got to, you know, snap the ball
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and let your guys go hit people in the mouth.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Ryan, the play calling changed for this game. Everything looks
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the same. What does that mean?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: That means it's the players, not the plays.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Yes. It's the players, not the plays. And look, offensively,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: outside of Garrett Bowles, Quinn Miners, and Cortland Sutton, everybody's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: just kind of out there. There's nobody. I mean, think
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: about how many times Tom Brady would just kind of
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: smile after missing a big throw, right? I mean, it just.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady wanted every second. Peyton Manning wanted every second
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: to beat your tail. I only saw three players on
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: offense yesterday that wanted it, that wanted to dominate, that
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: wanted to punish the opponent, that wanted to run the ball.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Look at how Cortland Sutton blocked on some of those
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: quick passing plays in addition to his touchdown. You've got
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to have more guys on your offense understand the urgency
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of the situation, and they just didn't yesterday. That was
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: a bad Chargers team on the road, I know it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: a little beautiful out there in LA. It's hard to,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: you know, in Tinseltown get a little tough. The LA
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Kings found out a way to do it sometimes, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: so you gotta be ready and you gotta understand the opportunity.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Ryan Harris with us.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: All conversations with Ryan are thanks to carrier, Colorado, Colorado
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: weather changes fast. Make sure your home is ready with
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: carrier and your local carrier experts. Find the right system
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: for your home at carrier, colorado.com carrier turn to the expert. So, um, look,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: We're just talking about big picture here.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Big picture.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: You had a tough first six weeks of the season.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: You got a short week here against the Seahawks. You'll
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: take them on at home. Whether you win or lose,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: getting through this at a minimum of three and three
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: is something I think that every Broncos fan would take.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: The issue, I think, is you want to see the
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: arrow pointing up. And here's what we know. This defense
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: is filled with dogs.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: They're without Sertan. They're without Riley Moss.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Hufanga got hurt, didn't finish the game last week, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: they still looked great. That's not the concern. The concern
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: is when you play against a team like Seattle, you
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: aren't going to get the final four possessions inside the
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: 50-yard line to start your drives.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So how do you hang with that?
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: And do you think the defense is capable of holding
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks to a number that the Broncos can get to?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I do think the Broncos' defense are able to hold
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks to a low score. I mean, they did
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: it to the 49ers, right? Hello. Look how much plenty
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: points the 49ers scored yesterday. You want to see the
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: offense trending in the right direction. But let me ask you,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: would you rather see a loss, 42-38, with the offense scoring,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: or would you rather see a win, With the offense
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: struggling 17-14. You have to decide what kind of wins
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: you want here now. Because if you want the offense, hey,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: at least we scored points. I don't care if we lost.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: We scored points. You can't have them both. You can't
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: be upset at how they win and then be upset
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: about whether or not the offense is scoring 40 points.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Well, if I buy a performance sports car, I want
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it to perform. it's it's got to go fast it
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: can't just putter can't just look.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Good you have a performance sports car we've all seen
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: it you never take it over 80 miles per hour
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you don't do it well don't do.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It well because i'm not i'm not rubbing and racing
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: yet when i go up against another performance race car
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: i'm gonna have to use it that's.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: True but will you know how that's the question will
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: you know how to change it into sixth gear you
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: don't know how to do that you've never done that
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: These guys are still learning how to do it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Ryan, you're so smart about football, and I appreciate that.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So then educate me on how this is even remotely sustainable.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: How is it sustainable?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Well, you got a bad team in your division. You
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: have some teams throughout the AFC that's kind of doing
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: some head scratchers, right? Like the Texans. I think like Indianapolis.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: So you have a down-ish year in the AFC. It's
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: not going to take 13 wins to be the number one.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It doesn't look like, right? You're going to have to,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: you're going to be in that kind of 10 to
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: 12 win range and you're going to be a top
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: of your conference. Outside of the Kansas City Chiefs, there
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: really isn't a big bad dog of the AFC West.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: And the biggest issue of why it is possible and
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: why it is sustainable is because if this offensive line
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: begins to want it, perhaps somebody loses their job to
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: motivate the troops. I've been there before. Other players have.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to shake things up. Guys, it's not
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: getting done. We tried to change it with Davis Webb.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Still didn't work. Here are the reasons why you're not
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: playing this week. We're going to see if something else
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: works better. And those are the kinds of things you
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: have to do to make guys understand the quality championship
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: opportunity these Broncos have, particularly offensively.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Well, then why can't you bench Bo Nix for a
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: few games?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Because you only got Jared Stidham. Now, had you had
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Jalen Daniels, who I got to call last weekend, my goodness,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: that young man can ball. I know CU fans go bust.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: We remember that game against Kansas last year. But, yo,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: that young man can ball. And he's on the road.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: And guess what? They ran the football. Team with the
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: most rushing yards won the game. How about that?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. On that subject, it's an interesting question.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Does this conversation around the offense and specifically Bo Nix
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: feel a lot different if you have like a Marcus
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Mariota as the backup?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: If you have somebody who's an established veteran guy that
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: you think you could trust to put in the game.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Is there a question about if Bo Nix is starting
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: for the rest of the year?
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I think there's more pressure on Bo Nix to do
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: the right things and to stay in the technique. The
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: issue with Bo Nix isn't that. He's doing too much, right?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: He's just not staying within the pocket, within that quarterback position. Watch,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: if you go back and watch, look how many times
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: he's throwing the ball while he's jumping. Do we remember
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: being here before? Yes, we do. Throwing the ball when
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: he's running, leaving the pocket when there's not a lot
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: of rush there. I mean, so there's some quarterback things
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: that he doesn't have to do because nobody's showing him
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: how to do it in a way that makes him
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: threatened for his job. Conversely, you talk about how about
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield? Like, Oh, I'm coming back.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I'd be coming back too. If I saw that quarterback
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: playing like that. So, you know, you got to put
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: pressure on every position. And I just think with the
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: talent of Bo Nix, there hasn't been a lot of
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: challenge for him to improve his quarterback play.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: So Ryan Harris joins us every single Monday, following the
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Broncos game, Ryan, appreciate it, buddy.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's a blast.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Peace.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Go.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Go.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Ryan Harris, he joined us on behalf of Carrier Colorado.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Colorado weather changes fast. Make sure your home is ready.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: With Carrier and your local Carrier experts, find the right
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: system for your home at CarrierColorado.com. Carrier, turn to the experts.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I think that is an interesting question, though.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It is. And before people lose their minds about, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: taking a seat and, you know, you can call it
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a benching. I call it a timeout. Just take a
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: gander from the sideline and see it from there. John
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Elway got benched in his rookie season. He didn't get
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: benched in his third season, Vic. Yeah, that's different. That
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: is different. You're right. But Sam Darnold got benched. He
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: came back, and look what he did last year.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold got benched, and then he left the team.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Exactly right. He got more than benched. Look at the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: quarterback in Carolina.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Passed around like a doobie at Willie Nelson's house.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, he's back playing good football.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Well, everybody looks at that as such a, oh my God,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: you can't do that. It'll destroy his confidence. I don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: think so. If you're not playing, if you're not, if
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: your head coach has to say after games, and I
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: heard this from Sean Payne, throw the ball. What did
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: he say exactly? What did he say? Let it rip.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Let it rip. Let it rip. Where have we heard
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that one before? I was hosting a show with John
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Elway in 2011 when Tim Tebow was the quarterback. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: John Elway said, gotta let it rip. Let it rip!
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: You don't.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: But that was Tebow. I'm just telling you what was said.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Tebow was gone the next year. I'm telling you what
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: was said. And I'm telling you what Sean Payton said
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: into a microphone yesterday after that game when he was
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: asked about his quarterback. It's a fine line. You don't
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: want to rip him. You don't want to go there.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: But the truth was told. He said it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: By the way, a lot of people are saying, why
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: didn't you guys challenge Ryan on the top five quarterback thing?
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I wasn't going to make the interview about that, okay?
• 14:18
