9-08-26 - A crazy college football weekend/CFB STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN/Time zone weirdness, Broncos hopes · The Appetizer Hour with Brett Kane

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is the Appetizer Hour with Brett Cain on demand.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Check out Brett weekday mornings at 6 on Altitude Sports
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We've done it, everybody. Congratulations. Made it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: To not only Broncos game week, getting past week one
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: of the college football season. and a now shift into
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: what I think is going to be.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: One of the most interesting seasons.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Of football in a long time around here, because it's
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: a season of expectation. One that has not existed for
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: close to a decade in the way that will this season,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: which is perhaps anything short of the ultimate goal is
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: going to result in disappointment. Complete and utter disappointment. And
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I'll get to this part with the Broncos in a bit.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I do want to start with college football because I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: thought it was a great.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: First week considering there wasn't a ton of games that
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: first of all had close point spreads, but second of all,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: featured two teams that are in, you know, whatever you
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: want to call the top 25. Now we all know
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: it's kind of fake, but it does give you a
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: look at like which games are supposed to be close
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: or which games have more on the line as far
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: as close top tier teams in the league. Now, what
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I tell you is this, Wasn't here on Friday, didn't
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: get a chance to talk about the CU game. So
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I'll give you brief thoughts on that. But what's really exciting,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: and I thought this when the hire was made, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: think that CSU has a coach that is a perfect
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: fit for where they are.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: As a team. Watching the discipline... of a Colorado.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: State team that, not to say they didn't have it before,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: but there was just, there's an extra level to it now.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Beating your rival, beating Wyoming, and doing that with great
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: quarterback play, ran the football great, played really good defense,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and forced turnovers.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Everything that you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Would see out of a veteran coached team, somebody who's
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: been in the game for a long time and has
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: probably have 40 years preached discipline.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: That's all it is.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: One of the things about that game, when you're a
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: super disciplined team, which means you don't turn the ball
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: over and you don't commit very many penalties, they had
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: only four.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: In the Wyoming game.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: That's the thing that a veteran head coach brings to
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: the table. And if they do that in this brand
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: new conference, which, let's be honest, we can take the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: name of Pac-12 and throw that out there and be like,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: it's the Pac-12. We know it's not. It's something far
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: different from that. If you're a disciplined team, the most
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: disciplined team in that conference, there is a very good
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: opportunity that you're going to win a lot of ballgames
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: and come out on top. If you look at all
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the different teams that played over the weekend, maybe the
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: most impressive.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Was Colorado State or obviously Boise State that was taking
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Oregon to the brink.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But if you do that, you're going to have a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: great chance to get some dubs.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: You're going to have a really good chance to be
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: near the top of the Pac-12 if you stay disciplined
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: in the way that they did.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Now, because I didn't have a chance to talk about
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: CU on Friday.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: CU was a mixture of really good in like really bad.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Like it was, it was so confusing because what I
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: have liked to see better and more consistent quarterback play.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I think even though it's a new system, you had
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the same quarterback year over year. I think it should
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: have looked a little bit sharper now to his credit.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: It looked like the ball was a bar of soap
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: out there with the weather combined with humidity combined with
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: a whole bunch of other stuff. And when it mattered
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the most, he drove down the field and gave you
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the drive to put you on top. So I give
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Juju credit for all of that. Their defense, which is
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: what I wanted to see, was great. Great against the run.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: but they gave up the big play on the last
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: drive when they could least afford it. And then what's
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: really funny is I thought the special teams were like
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the worst aspect of it. You know, you had the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: bad punt to start the game. You gave up the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: kick return touchdown. And then all of a sudden the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: special teams are the hero. So it was like, it
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: was a giant mixture of amazingly good and really bad
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: kind of on all fronts. But I'm, I'm glad that
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: they come away with a win against a team like
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: we don't know what Georgia Tech is going to be.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: My guess is they're going to be at least good.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: At least. Like they're going to be a bowl team.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And if you're getting wins against teams that are bowl teams,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: that is massive improvement from what happened the year previous
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: to that. Now, with all of the college football that
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: happened over the weekend starting on Thursday, no bigger thing
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: than Michigan and Western Michigan. And I need to take
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a second to talk about this. I know that conspiracies
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and things like that, people don't like to buy into some,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: but conspiracies are a thing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Because sometimes they turn out to be right.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And in the case of this, What happened to Western
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Michigan was an absolute disgrace. And you can go back
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and you can tell me, well, the guy was touching
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: out of bounds and on the clock that you guys
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: couldn't see, actually, because he was stepping out of bounds
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: and then he jumped up and touched the football, there
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: was actually like two-tenths of a second left. And I
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: know that we don't use tenths in football, but in
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: this case, well, maybe. Here's what I love. Ah, this
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: was the right call you guys just didn't know about
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the other clock that was actually the right clock. If
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: anybody explained that to you, in anything else in life,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: you'd be like, oh, so whenever it benefits the team
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: that is bigger and more powerful and has more money
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and matters more, quote unquote, in college football.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: You're telling me we can see the special clock?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: The special one that we're not privy to is the
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: one that we were watching wasn't accurate.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: That can't happen. It can't. Now, I say all that
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to tell you, all Western Michigan had to do was
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: not give up a Hail Mary on the next play.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: All of this is for naught if they just make.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: another play on a Hail Mary, but the opportunity shouldn't
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: even have been given.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And here's the problem.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I feel like if Western Michigan's on the other side
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: of that, if they throw the Hail Mary, I think
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the game's over. I don't know if they give them
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: an extra one. And let's say that they did and
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Michigan lost. Oh, the amount of things that Michigan would
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: file after the game. If there's one thing I know
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: about my college sports now, we love a good judge.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: And they would find a judge that would be like, actually,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: time manipulation is illegal and here's why.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Well, Brett, one thing I want to know, though, is
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I know everybody's been killing... officials in that game and
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: especially the conference as well for this secret clock stuff
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: but they also reference it in NFL games right there's
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: sometimes where you see a delay a game the quarterback
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: doesn't get the ball in time and then the broadcast
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: when it's not called dead on the field right there's
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: no whistle and then the broadcast will say well sometimes
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: our TV clock is different from the official game clock.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Here's the difference. The delay of game clocks. That is
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: not a, how do you put it? It's not black
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and white. Cause here's what they can say with the
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: lay of games. And this is why you see snaps
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: happen with zero on the play clock. That can only
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: be called if the ref sees the clock, so he
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: has to see the clock and then look at the football,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and if the football hasn't been snapped yet, then he
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: blows the whistle. There's a legitimate human error, tenths of
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: seconds that are in between that. This is looking at
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: the broadcast feed saying, in or out. And the problem is,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: they can't say that the clock that we're all watching
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: is wrong.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You can't. This isn't soccer. This isn't, well, it's around
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: this time. Nope. This has got to be cut and dry. Now,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: it would be like in basketball.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Somebody shoots. Remember when Aaron Gordon had the amazing tip-in
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: dunk to end the playoff game? Now imagine if they said, actually,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: the clock that you saw that was above the hoop
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: is not the accurate one. It's the one that we
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: have over here that you guys can't see. And that
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: one said it was too late. None of us would
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: accept that.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody. It's like, so what's the point of having that
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: there if that's not accurate? And it just, it took
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: away from what I think.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: You know, we're talking about what would be one of
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Western Michigan's biggest wins in the history.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Of their.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Entire university. Because here's the problem. It's like I was
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: going to say something along the lines of Michigan, if
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I were voting, would never be allowed in the college
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: football playoff. Here's the thing, guys. Don't think we have
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: to worry about that. Michigan doesn't look very good. Like
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: they aren't going to be competing for the top of
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: the big 10. Not if that's the way they play.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: So that doesn't seem to be a problem. It's just,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: you know, and then to make matters worse, I guess
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: it was totally unexpected. And, and when you, even when
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: you get the extra opportunity at it, you don't think
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you're going to win.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And then you get the hail Mary. Them storming the
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: field was sad. It was sad.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: And I'm not like anti-field storming, blah, blah, blah.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: But somebody tracked this.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: College football field storm since 2019. There's been 175 in.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: The last seven years, which seems like a lot, actually.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: No team.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Rushed the field as a higher favorite than Michigan just
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: did over the weekend. There were 27 and a half
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: point favorites. No team has done it, but I just, the, the.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Did you see who caught a stray in that graph? Uh,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: hang on, look at some of the other big point
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: spreads where the winner still rushed the field.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, CU over CSU in 2023. Was that the next one?
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: No, that was the double overtime game where CU had
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: to grind it out.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Deion's first year, yeah.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, but they were like 27-point favorites or something ridiculous,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: and everybody still stormed the field for that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Look, going back....
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, going back to that moment, it's funny. They were
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: 23-point favorites in that. With the benefit of hindsight, they
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have been 23-point favorites in that game. I mean,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: that was a 4-8 football team at the end of
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: the year. It was riding such a high at the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: beginning that everybody, I think, was buying it. Drinking the Kool-Aid,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: if you will.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: You're doing right.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I plan on winning.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: But....
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nuts. I say all that to say this.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of secret clocks that I can't see.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I want my clocks to be like Flavor Flav. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: want the giant cartoonish clock that's right up front that
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: we can all.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: See.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: So 303-504-0925. Lot to get to. Do want to talk
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: about the Broncos here in just a second. And guys,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: guess what?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: It's the return. Nelly, aren't you pumped? College football, stock up,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: stock down. Coming to you a little bit later. Oh,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: it's back.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: What we do every single Tuesday following the college football weekend,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: it is college football, stock up, stock down.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: And we always start with the quarterbacks. Nelly, stock up.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: How about Sam Leavitt?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Making his debut for LSU. Went to ASU the last
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: couple years. Arizona State the last couple years. Was at
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Michigan State before that. So his third team of his
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: college career.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: They go out. Big matchup. They play against Clemson.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: He goes 16-28 for 230 yards. Had 113 rushing yards
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and two touchdowns. I think one touchdown and one pick
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: through the air. So playing for Lane Kiffin now, he
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: was a good quarterback at Arizona State, but it's just
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: one of those things, like I think Lane Kiffin is
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: somebody who will unlock a whole bunch of stuff that
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: maybe has not been surfaced from players. Saw it last
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: year with Trinidad Chambliss. I think he's going to do
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: it for Sam Leavitt. And what he did is he
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: allowed and gave Sam Leavitt The ability to take off
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: and run. The 113 rushing yards is more than a
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: third of what he had all season last year at
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Arizona State. Only ran for 306 last year. I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: that he could cook in Lane's system, and I think
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: LSU could be a big problem. I know that they're
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the bad boys now of college football, but That's what
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin does. He's a good coach, so he gets
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: the stock up. Let's go quarterback stock down. I don't
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: think there's any question it's Bryce Underwood, right? Bryce Underwood
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: was somebody I believe that they said makes $ 5 million
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: a year in NIL deals. He was the highest recruit
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: in the country a couple years ago. Played a little
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: bit with Michigan last year. There was a consistency problem
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: with him that I think you could chalk up to
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: age and youth. But for this to be the debut
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: this year when you really wanted to see, hey, is
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Michigan going to be a contender and is Bryce Underwood
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: going to make the jump? Well, Bryce Underwood against Western
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Michigan was 12 of 22 for 170 yards.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: One touchdown, one pick. He ran for 47 in a touchdown.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: But if you eliminate the 47-yard Hail Mary at the
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: end of the game, those numbers now drop to about
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: 120 passing yards and no touchdowns. It's not the debut
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: you wanted to see. There was no consistency within the offense.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: They had a hard time moving the chains on third down.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: It actually reminded me a bit of Juju. And that
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: they're both really, really young guys still playing quarterback for
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: their respective teams. But I thought Juju showed way more
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: flashes than Underwood did. And he's doing so as not
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: a $ 5 million player. So bottom line is Bryce Underwood
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: just not good enough, and that's got to get figured
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: out in a hurry. Let's go Big 12 team stock up.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Could have gone a couple of different directions. I'm going
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: to choose, and what's tough in this, you're playing against
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: these bad opponents in week one, but Kansas State won
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: 71-3 over Nichols. And despite it not being great competition,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I think you could put CU up there in this
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: discussion for beating Georgia Tech. The reason I give it
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: to Kansas State is because it's their first game with
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Colin Klein as their head coach. And it's the third
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: most points Kansas State has ever scored in school history.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: If he can get an offense, and that was his thing,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: he was the offensive coordinator at Texas A & M
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: over the last couple of years. He did that at
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Kansas State. before that, now comes back to be the
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: head coach, there's a lot of just synergy that I
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: think exists between Colin Klein, Kansas State, his time there
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: as a Heisman candidate, leading them to the brink of
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: a national title his last year at Kansas State to
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: now coming back and getting an offense cooking that kind
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: of way. If he can figure out how to make
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Avery Johnson, the quarterback there, a more consistent player... then
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Kansas State might be a team that becomes a problem
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: in the Big 12. So I'll give them the stock up.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Big 12 team stocked out. So this team won, but
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give it to Houston.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: They won 33-20.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Over Oregon State. Oregon State won two games last year.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: One against Lafayette and the other was a 10-7 win
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: over Wazoo.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: They're a really bad team. And I just thought Houston
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: would make easier work of Oregon State than they did.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: They put up a whole bunch of offensive numbers in
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: that game. But the problem is they gave up almost
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: 400 yards through the air against a bad Oregon State team.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: They committed 10 penalties.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I just think if this is the way that they're
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: going to operate, if their defense can't really stiffen up
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: here as the competition continues to grow and they can't
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: stay more disciplined, they could find themselves dropping in a
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: hurry in the Big 12. Let's go national team stock up.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go back to LSU and.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I could easily put Clemson in the stock down category
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: because I think they're going to be really bad. It's
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the first time in years that Clemson enters a season unranked,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: and I think there's going to be some Dabo Swinney problems.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: It was already cracking last year, but it was the
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: way that LSU absolutely torched them on both sides of
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: the football. LSU puts up 644 yards of offense, but
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: I think more importantly, especially in the SEC, They held
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Clemson to 145 total yards.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Just an absolute beatdown. Everywhere that you look.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: And whatever you think of Lane Kiffin, was just talking
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: about this in regards to Sam Levitt. Love him, hate him,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: think he's a dope. The guy can coach football. And LSU,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I think with him, is going to be a massive problem.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: I think it's why the SEC is coming after Kiffin
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: so hard. I think a lot of teams are nervous
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: of what he's going to be able to do there.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Watched what he did at Ole Miss. Gave him the
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: resources of an LSU. Looked the hell out.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: National team stock down. I'm going back to Michigan. It's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: got to be. I mean, they won 13-12, but there's
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: almost an embarrassment.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: I think there's an embarrassment that's equal or even more
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: in them winning that game as opposed to losing. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: after watching all of that play out, it's going.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: To be really hard for Michigan to gain respect back.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: And as much as we talk about, hey, just win
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: games because winning's all that matters, we know in college football,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: the perception of what your team is is important to
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: the discussion, especially when it comes down to making decisions
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: for who's in the playoff and who's not. I just
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: think they have a massive hill to overcome. Heisman stock up.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: How about my guy, Trinidad Chambliss?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Goes out. He was 21 of 36 for 336 yards,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: had 60 rushing yards in that game, four total touchdowns,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: one pick. He's got, he got the one more year.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: They came back and gave him the extra season of eligibility.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: And I think this is going to be what he
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: does every week. He is just an electrifying player. can
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: do it in a multitude of different ways, but everything
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: he does looks like it goes up on some Heisman
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: highlight reel. He's just a really fun player to watch
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: who's going to put up numbers and keep himself in
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: the discussion for most of this year. Heisman, stock down. Yeah,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: it's hard. I'm not even saying he played bad. But
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I think it's Alabama's quarterback, Keelan Russell, and here's why.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: He was 18 of 30 for 256 yards, 86 rushing yards,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: and a touchdown. All those numbers are fine. He didn't
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: play bad. Bama beat the snot out of East Carolina.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: That didn't matter. But this is a numbers game.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: When you're in the Heisman race, as much as it's
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: about your individual performance and how your team does, it's
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: about numbers.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: And.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: If you aren't putting up touchdowns against bad teams early
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: in the year, it's just going to be a.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Big hill to climb to make up for later.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Now, if you're Alabama's quarterback and the team wins, you're
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: going to be somewhat in the discussion in one way
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: or another.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: But when it comes to the numbers game, that's what
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: didn't help them this opening week. Upset of the week. Oh,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: my God. I don't want to go back to the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Western Michigan well, so I'm going to do something else.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: It's UMass, right?
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: It's a team that hasn't won for like a year
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: and a half that goes into Rutgers, gets paid one
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: and a half million dollars to do so, and beats
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: the hell out of them. I think they were coming
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: off of 16 straight losing games. And you walk into
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Rutgers who, look, I'm not saying Rutgers is some great powerhouse,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: but when you pay a team one and a half
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: million bucks, you're expecting the win by 50 points. And
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: to get dealt the way that UMass dealt them, it's
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: a bad one for Greg Sciano.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: College football, stock up, stock down. We do it every
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Tuesday following the college football weekend.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Best game of the week? I think that's only an
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: NFL thing.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, I thought that was a college football thing, too.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: We got to brush the rust off here.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Nelly, I don't mind it. I don't mind it. We
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: could do a best game of the week in college football, too.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Until the extra second, was it Michigan and Western Michigan?
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It could have been. I would say this.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: If I had to pick the game of the week,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Baylor was a great game. Came down, final seconds, two-point conversion,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: stuffed by Auburn at the goal line. I think the
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Louisville game was remarkably good. I mean, that was very end,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss-Louisville, two ranked teams, by the way. You talk
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: about getting to the end of the game, and Louisville
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: drives down the field, 1.28 left on the clock.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Ties the game up 38-38, and then they cut to
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the sideline.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: They showed Trinidad Chambliss, and he's just nodding his head.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: He's like, all right, no problem. I got this.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: And rounds things out with, you know, an eight-play 40-yard
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: drive for the game-winning field goal.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I think that one would probably get my vote.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: That's freaking why I love college ball right there.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: And there's Jim Mora. If you guys missed it, Jim Mora,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: that quote, by the way, we'll get to it in
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: just a second. but to close out the college football
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: weekend with the game yesterday that it's like, um, power
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: doesn't work.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: What was it?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: An hour, 45 minute delay for them to get like
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: half of the power going.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: And I saw an update where they said, okay, kickoff
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: is now going to be nine 15 Eastern, but the
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: headsets don't work and like the quarterback comms and this
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: and that, but, but we're, we're still going to go.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Headset doesn't work.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: You won't see the clock on the scoreboard, but let's
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: play some football. Like it's 1947. I will say this
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: one guy who absolutely could have got the Heisman stock
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: up or quarterback stock up, but I was doing this
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: during the game. So I didn't know how I was
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: going to finish, especially with the delay. Kevin Jennings is
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: a hell of a player. That dude out of SMU,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: he was lighting up Florida State. Florida State, the fact
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: that they were even in that game with having virtually
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: nothing from their quarterback, I mean, he was constantly under duress,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: did run the football well, but Jennings putting up 430
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: passing yards, pretty remarkable.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: If you guys missed it, by the way, this was
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Jim Mora Jr. after the CSU win.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: The bronze boot returns to Fort Collins.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Where it belongs.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Where it's going to stay for a while.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: What does it mean to have this as your first
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: game here? This, this. These students are unbelievable.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: And when I say students, I'm including our student athletes
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: who just played their hearts out. I mean, it wasn't
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: beautiful early, but they just played so well. I'm so
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: proud of them. I'm so happy for the community.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Look at it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: Look at it. That's what college ball is all.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: About right there.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: That's freaking why I love college ball right there.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be so good there. I
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: really do.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: It just, it feels like when you're at a place
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: like CSU, you're never going to get the top coach
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: in the country. If you do get a very good
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: young coach, he's only going to be there for a
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: few years before he gets another job. You need to
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: find somebody who's cool with the comfort. That isn't like
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: maniacally trying to climb the ladder to the top of
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: college football. That's going to be somewhere that, where if
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: you win, you will be appreciated.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: And you can be there forever. This feels like such
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: a good fit.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: And the change that you saw in just a single
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: game between some of the stuff that CSU was doing
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years as opposed to right now.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And again, if you're one of these teams that we'll
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: call like a mid-major of college football, If you just,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: if nothing else, are the more disciplined team, you're going
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: to win like 80% of the time by just doing that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: And that was the like big time change that I
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: saw in that first game. Now, Texture points this out.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: This is hilarious.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: He said, what was more embarrassing, Michigan fans storming the field.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: After that win or, or Rutgers.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Paying the one and a half million to get their
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: teeth kicked in. But what happened after the game was, no, you,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: you saw this, didn't you? They paid the money for
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: a big time firework show. And whether you lose to
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: UMass or not, you're getting that firework show. And I
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: just think you got to call it. You just got
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: to call it a sunk cost. Save the fireworks show
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: for another day. Nobody wants to see a.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Whole bunch of artillery shells going off after you lose
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: the way that you did to UMass. That's one of
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: those things.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: You just bury that in some sort of tax write-off
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: somewhere and say, you know what?
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: We couldn't make it happen. I didn't know this. Pretty
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: gusty up there. Didn't trust the wind. It was about
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: safety for our fans. I can't believe they still went
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: off and fired those. Like, when... When the Rockies set
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: off the 4th of.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: July thing, even if they get their teeth kicked in,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: let's say they're playing the Dodgers on the 4th at
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Coors Field, and they lose 12-1, okay? The fireworks show
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: is about the 4th of July. That's what the show's about.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: This was supposed to celebrate paying a million and a
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: half bucks to kick the snot out of some team.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: You can't go on with it.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: You have to be able to just every once in
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: a while burn some money and save yourself the embarrassment.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: So 303-504-0925 broadcasting to the Backus and Shanker studios. Their
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: passion is justice. Expectations as we head into the opening
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: week of the NFL season. And what this means for
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: the Broncos, much different than years before.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: We'll get to it next. All right, NFL starts tomorrow.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: We'll be joined by Adam Schefter at 9.20 this morning.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: In preparation for that, game tomorrow is in Australia. Different
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: time zone than the United States. Kyle Shanahan doesn't get it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: We did our totally normal routine. I'm not sure because we're,
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: like I said, we're a little confused with When I
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: look at my clock and it says a time and
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: then I try to see my family's time and it
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: says the time but it says yesterday. I don't even
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: get how that's possible. So I feel like I'm in
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: the future. And then also when we play on our Friday,
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: which I think is a Thursday in the U.S., we're
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: such creatures of habit. So I call today Tuesday.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: No, wait.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Sorry, I call today Wednesday, which is the first day
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: we put in a game plan. But I think it's Monday. However, though,
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: it's Sunday in the present. So, like, I'm going to
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: mess that up all week if you guys ask me.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: But today is just our first day of the game plan,
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: which is a Wednesday. We'll put in some on a Thursday.
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: Friday is the final part of the game plan. Saturday
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: we walk through when we play on Sunday, which is
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: a Friday in Australia and a Thursday in the U.S.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: So don't ever make me.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Do that again. What?
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: But Brett, tomorrow is Patriots-Seahawks. Thursday is the game in Australia.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: That's right. Thursday is the Australia game.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: See, you're on the same page as Kyle Shanahan.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: You don't know what day it is either. Well, I
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: heard that clip and I was like, I don't know
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: what's happening. He just said Friday's Thursday, Thursday's game plan,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Saturday going to Sunday, but it's Wednesday. I think it's Tuesday.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: So I think, first of all, he was confused by
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: the fact that it's at times it is tomorrow in
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Australia relative to the U.S., So he's texting his family
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: and like it's a Sunday for him, but it's a
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Saturday for them. So that's the first part. The second
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: part is he's trying to adjust the Niners schedule as
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: if game day was Sunday.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: And so in his mind, he's trying to shift it
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: all back. So now game day is Friday. But in
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: the U.S., Friday is actually Thursday. So he's like, do
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: I shift everything back two days? Do I shift it
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: back three days?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, so here's what happened. So Raheem Morris is the
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: defensive coordinator for the Niners. His birthday is on September 3rd.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: They boarded a flight to Melbourne, Australia on Wednesday the 2nd.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: But the team crossed the international date line during the
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: long flight, so they landed in Australia on September 4th. Technically,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Raheem Morris did not have his birthday because they missed
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: the 3rd of September. Which is also just, yeah, bizarre.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Now, to the Broncos part of things, I heard DMACC
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: talking about this last week.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: And I do think he's right.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: He's like, if you aren't expecting the Broncos to get
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: to a Super Bowl this year, then what are you
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: waiting for?
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: And it's a legitimate question. You just made the AFC
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Championship game last year.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: You lost because your quarterback had a busted up ankle.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you think that this team should make the
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl. They lost virtually nothing. JFM isn't nothing. But
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: you've retained more of your roster than anyone could have imagined.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: And let's just take the offseason like this. If you
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: could have done a trade this offseason of JFM for
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Jalen Waddell, would you have done it? And the answer
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: would have been like, yeah. You have depth on the
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: defensive line. You needed to help at wide receiver. You
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: got that help. Where's the line that you put it
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: at for the Broncos to have what you would consider
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: a successful season? And we all know it's tough to
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: get back to championship games.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Or Super Bowls or whatever. So part of that is
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: factored in.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: But when you look at what the Avs did last year,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: number one team in the league, made it all the
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: way to the Western Conference Finals, lost, especially the way
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: they lost, everybody would consider that sort of a failure.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: And it's because of the position that you're in as
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: a franchise. When you hit this mark of, I expect greatness,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: most of the answers to the question of how is
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: this season going to end are going to be disappointing.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Most of the exit ramps that you have are ones
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: that lead to pain. But I think it's where the
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Broncos have to be. I think it's where Broncos fans
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: have to be. You have a quarterback that's at least
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: okay with a lot of potential to be much, much
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: more than that. One of the best offensive lines in
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: the league, the best defensive line in the league. Now
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: you've added playmaking at wide receiver to go along with
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Courtland Sutton. Courtland Sutton and Jalen Waddell as a one-two
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: punch is a very, very good one-two punch. A good
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: running game so long that J.K. Dobbins stays healthy. In
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: elite level secondary, you have all of the things that
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: you require to win. Football, if you want to boil
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: it down to how do you make a good team,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: it comes down to essentially five things. It's quarterback play.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: It's offensive line play. It's edge rushing. It's secondary play.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: And it's having a playmaker on offense. Like, that is,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: if you want to boil it down to just five
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: things in a very, very basic manner, that's what it is.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: And the Broncos have essentially all of it.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Now, we can quibble about, like, well, is Bo Nix
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: MVP caliber?
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Like, probably not right now. Could he get there?
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Could he get there? Maybe not. I don't know. Point is,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: it's good enough.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: It's good enough for people to say this, if he
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: played in the AFC championship game, the Broncos would have
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: been in the Super Bowl.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: And then who knows? You know what I mean? So,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: I think you have to have expectations incredibly high. Tougher schedule,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. Well, guess what?
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: That comes with the territory of being good. You know
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: what is a tough schedule every year? Up until last year,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs, they always have a tough schedule.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Because they win a lot. And that's what happens. When
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: you're a team that's a consistent winner, you're going to
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: face the top end of the league. But the reasons
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: why I'm so excited about the Broncos are it's so
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: many things kind of put into one.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: The Waddle addition is massive.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Being able to have continuity in a way that other
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: teams just don't.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: No other team operates this way. You ask Jeff Legwald,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: he's been watching football for 40 years.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Covering football for 40 years. So he's never seen anything
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: like it. A team that returns this much.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Of its roster.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: You're talking about a 53-man roster that changed out like
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: six guys? A couple of those being like special teamers?
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: That's nothing. A third-string tight end? Nothing. This is all about...
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: And forget record for a second. I've said it a
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: hundred times this offseason. I'll say it a hundred more
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: before the season starts. I think it will be almost
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: impossible for them to get back to 14 wins. That's
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: not what the goal is.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: The goal to me for the Broncos is just make
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: the playoffs again and find yourself back in position to
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: That's the number one thing.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Like, to me, if they have a 10-7 season, it's
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: going to feel weird comparing that to last year, but
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: if that gets you in the postseason, that's all I
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: care about. And then you let all the things that
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I talked about, O-line play, edge rushing, all of that
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: take over. But even if you have questions about Bo
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Nix and, like, what's his ceiling, and if his ceiling
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: is lower than that of a Mahomes and Josh Allen
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: and Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow and
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: all the other names that we talk about, the one
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: equalizer that you add to that is the rookie contract.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: There is no better time than the present with where
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: he's at cash-wise. For the Broncos to make a move.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Much like they did last year. So 303-504-0925. Speaking of,
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: the NFL is back tomorrow night. And Altitude Sports Radio
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: is your home for the NFL's biggest games. It starts
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: with a Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and Patriots
• 41:07

• 41:11
  Speaker 3: It's powered by Twin Peaks. Eats, drinks, scenic views. Quick
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: text coming through. The Broncos need three things that they
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: didn't have last year to make the Super Bowl.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: This is from Lance.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Faster starts offensively and less three and outs, 100%. More
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: consistent explosive plays, especially over the middle of the field.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: And more takeaways. If they do all three of those things,
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: the Broncos could get back to like a 13 win season.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: And I have put a lot of chips in the
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Broncos success dependent on blank category. That blank to me
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: is consistent offense, consistent on third down, move the chains, and.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Have an attack that is scary from start to finish.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Not just in the fourth quarter. So a lot more
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: to discuss with that as we go along. 303-504-0925. Can
