• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Down to the one contested ball, and Waddell wins the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: battle against Buster Brown.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: And this is why Jalen Waddell's here. To give them
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: that speed, to give them that deep threat.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Take the running play. Knicks on the move.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Wide open.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: Touchdown.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Caught by Atkins. The Broncos with a big answer. Tight formation,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: single setback. Coleman. Hand it to him.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Coleman takes it in for the touchdown.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: The rookie.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Puts the Broncos in front.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: Here in the fourth. Denver, 392 yards of offense. This
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: game turned in the third quarter. The Broncos come from
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: behind to get the W.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: To Rally House Football Monday, Rally House shop every team
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in town. Broncos win, get back to five. Hundy, one
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and one to start the year. Great comeback in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: second half. I'm going to shut up, though, because during
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the appetizer, I've been yelled at by people. I have.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Yelled at for what? Because I pointed out the bad
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: things that happened in the first half. You're talking to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: my guy all wrong. That's the wrong tone. I've been
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: accused of being very negative after a win this morning,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: which is funny because it feels like that's the same
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: thing that I was accused of all last year.
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: What were those same people accused, the 76,000 people in
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: attendance after series number three when they booed the team?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Loudly. Well, that's the thing is I think two things
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: can be true. And this is the only point I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: was trying to make is you did this a lot
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: last year. The same kind of feel. Like the Broncos
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: left 11 points on the board. You get stuff from
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the one-yard line three separate times, settle for a field goal.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You throw the pick in the end zone on another
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: drive that's at the goal line. And you're down 10-3
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: at half when you should be up a minimum 14-10.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Second half starts. You get a couple opportunities, a bad
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: interception by Trevor Lawrence. You convert into a touchdown. You
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: tie the game. Great. Missed field goal at midfield. take
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the ball over, score a touchdown, now you're up seven.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I think the most impressive drive that they had was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Almost five minutes left
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on the clock, you're up seven. Totally agree. And you
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: drag them down, throw them in a grave, and cover
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: them in dirt. Like, I think that's amazing. But, but,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: my only point is, games that start the way that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the Broncos started yesterday... can easily turn into what Kansas
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: City became, which is you don't just lose, but you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: get blown out because you didn't do things right early.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: To their credit, they came back and won, and I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: think that's awesome. But I can't ignore the first half. Yeah,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I guess the way I would answer that, Brett, is this.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: Is that last year, you were able to come back
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: a lot, Vic, and you were able to stack dubs.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: That's probably going to even out more this year if
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: you continue to play the same way.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's what you're saying.
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: Is that, look, last year was a fluke. So if
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: you continue to display this same inconsistency half to half,
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: you're going to find yourself with a team that doesn't
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: allow you to get back in the game like Kansas
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: City did on Monday night. And the Jags allowed you
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: to get back in, especially that pick by Trevor Lawrence.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And again, the blueprint is there. The defense balled out.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I knew that was going to happen. So did I,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: there was two things that I knew were going to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: happen in this game. The defense was going to be
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: much better because it just came down to wrapping up
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and tackling somebody. They've been doing that their entire lives.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: That would be better. And it did. You hold a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: team that that's averaged 32 points per game over the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: last 12 games to 13. You still have a very, very,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: very good defense. Another thing that I knew would change
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix getting sacked four times. That first game was
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: not going to happen. He doesn't get sacked. He had
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: zero in this game. Um, But the great things that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I saw, first of all, J.K. Dobbins' pinky promise, I guess,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't work because he was out the second half of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: I want to expand on that a little bit later
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: because I have a lot to say about that certain situation.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The good news is I think Jonah Coleman's a guy.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And you committed to the run game. It was, what,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: 28 runs to 31 passes or something like that. It was, yeah. Balance.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You had a balanced offense and a balanced approach. And
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Jonah Coleman, when you needed to punch the ball in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the end zone, he punched the ball in the end zone.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: When you needed him to pick up a first down late,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: he picked up a first down. I think he's a guy.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Smart move at the end of the game, milking the clock,
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: staying in bounds. Very wise by a rookie. I agree
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: with you on Jonah Coleman. The game for me, guys,
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: just big picture. You won a game, frankly, that you're
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: supposed to win. If you consider yourself a legitimate team.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: That's exactly right. I said that all last week, Vic. Look,
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: if you're a real team, you win this game at home.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Listen, I had them winning this game. I had them
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: winning this game. I'm not surprised here. I'm not going
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to walk away from that going, oh, my God.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: No.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Expectations tell you they should win that kind of game.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And they did.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: They did exactly what they were supposed to do. Did
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: it start slowly?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Yes. Did they finish strong? Yes. In other words, this
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: year's team looked a lot like last year's team.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Good. Let's move. I love it. We got better as
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the game went on.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: You're right, but Vic, I think what Brett is trying
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: to say, and I agree with him in this regard,
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: is that if you try to win by the same
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: formula you did last season, it ain't going to work
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: out as good. Well, you're not going to get to
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: 14 wins, but you can get to 11. To say
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: that they're going to be able to come back and
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: beat every team the way they did yesterday is asking
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: for a lot.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. You cannot afford to go
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: into these games, especially at home, and do this.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Opening drive, three and out. Tried to force the run game, obviously,
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: because we want to get the run game going. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: totally understand. Not upset by going three and out. They
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: got a mistake. The waddle penalty cost them. Motion penalty,
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: three and out. Second series, they go tempo. Let's switch
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: things up a little bit.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Nope. Couldn't pull it off. On third and 11, a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: screenplay that went nowhere. Punt.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Third series, they stay in tempo. Got to do something different.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Third and two, empty formation. Again, on third and two,
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: maybe a long one. And they go for everything and
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Bo overthrows Waddle. So, after those first three series, guess
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: what the fans did at Mile High Stadium?
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Boo.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Loudly.
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong with that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: So for those ultra sensitive fans out there who are like,
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: how dare you say anything bad?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: No, no, that's how you're supposed to fan. You let your,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, your emotions take over.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: And those same people that were booing at that point
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: in the game were cheering loudly late in the game.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Help me understand what's wrong with What's so wrong with that?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: So why are people so bent out of shape? Because
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: a dub is a dub, and you needed the dub.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Can you read the text from JB? Seems like a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: funny example.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: I don't understand why people get angry with that sense
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: of emotion.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Here it is right here. Read that, Mosh. Okay. Somebody
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: please shut Brett up.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: He clearly doesn't understand football and thinks that for some reason,
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: the Broncos should just be perfect from opening snap till
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: the end of the game. I'm tired of this blanking ignorance.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: Let the fans boo. Fans are stupid. You are paid
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: to be more intelligent about football than this. Somebody shut
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: him the blank up, JB.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody's really mad at me.
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: JB's really mad at you. JB, what I'm trying to
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: tell you is that it's all-encompassing.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Vic is right.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: Fans can boo, and then fans can cheer, and they
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: had a reason to boo. JB, you had three plays,
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: four plays, and five plays in your first three drives,
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: and you looked like hell.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You looked like crap.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: And there was that staggering, when they got to halftime,
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: it's the Broncos have gone six quarters and scored one
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: touchdown this year.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And that was real, okay? So people are... People
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: are full of anxiety and people are upset about it, JB.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: That's real. Here's the question, because I don't care what
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: people think about that stuff. You know, some people are
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: just ultra sensitive. What changed is my question. I'll tell
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you what I saw. What happened that they finally found it?
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you what I saw. And again, this is
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: what gets frustrating. So it's 7-0. Then you go down
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: and you get yourself a field goal.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, fine.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: Then the defense comes back out and forces a three
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: and out on....
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville. Yeah, Malcolm Roach sacks Lawrence on third and nine.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Great stuff. You get the ball back. Eight plays, 76 yards,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and then what? And then a pick in the back
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of the end zone.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: Which was not the fault of Bo Nix, in my opinion.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: That play, okay, that play was done from the get-go.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: It was going to fail from the get-go. Well, then
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: throw it out of the end zone.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville, what's the difference at that point? I guess you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: go get the field goal. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: going to get points. But you're throwing a jump ball
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to Corlin Sutton. I'll take that. Yeah, but it's short.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: He's pinned at the back of the corner of the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: end zone, and you've got to throw it short, man.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: It was a terrible decision. Okay, but it's the play call.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It's not the quarterback. Okay, fine. That's fine.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: But the point is, I'm trying to make here, Vic,
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: is that the defense is bailing you out now.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: They're bailing you out. They're bailing you out. That's what
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: they were doing.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: So look, what changed is I saw Bo Nix in
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: that third quarter. I'll tell you what it looked like
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: to me. He just looked like he started playing football.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: He just looked like he started making quick, decisive decisions
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: and slinging the pig. Does that make sense? He wasn't
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: tippy-tapping the pocket. He wasn't looking nervous. He's like, you
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: know what? I got this, damn it. And that's the
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: way he played. He played like a poised, professional, experienced quarterback.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And I liked it. Can I just say one thing
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: real quick to piggyback off that thing from Moshe?
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: What opened it up was the frigging pick when it
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: was 13-6. Trevor Lawrence threw short. I've thought this for
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: about a year now. Why does Bo look so much
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: better in... in second half or late game situations than
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: he does in beginning.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And I really think there's something to this. I think
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: at the end of games when they're down, he says,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: bleep it. And he's got to make a play. He's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: just like, I got to make a play. He's not,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I really feel like he just, he is thinking so
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: much in the first half about, well, this play, I'm
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: supposed to get it to this guy, but I don't
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: want to take a sack and I don't want to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: do this. It's like there's a lot of things in
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: his head. Whereas end of the game, it's just like,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I have to make a play.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: It's a lot more street ball as the game goes on,
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: in my opinion, with Bo Nix. And you can see
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: it in his demeanor, Vic. You can see it in
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: his flow. You can see it in the way he
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: throws the football. You can see it in the design runs.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: You can see it in all these kinds of things.
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: I just think he has this blanket attitude that comes
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: up through him, and then he starts to play real football.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I think you just hit it right there.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: And I don't, for the life of me, understand why
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: the Denver Broncos do not call more planned runs for
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: a quarterback who can run the ball.
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: I'm watching the Kansas City Chiefs last night. A quarterback
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: who is nine months removed from ACL. And I saw
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: the same thing he did last week. And he's running
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: more often than Bo Nix. So don't tell me if
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: we're going to have this show today and we're going
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: to talk about running quarterbacks. If you text or tell me, well,
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: you don't want to take that chance. He's coming off
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: an injury. What is Patrick Mahomes doing? They called a couple.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: They called one of the third and two that he
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: took off and got it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: He.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that play? So they called the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: keeper on third and two. Yes, I've got it right here.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: The Broncos on the 43-yard line and Bo Nix keeper.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: And I wrote this down. I said, that unlocked Bo Nix.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That run. Look at what he did after that run.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: You know what's weird, though? I thought they were going
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to mark him short. Because when a quarterback gives himself up,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it's where he decides to give himself up. Now, I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: don't know if that changes when he's diving forward instead
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of sliding. When you slide, it's when you start your
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: slide is where they call it. I was like, dude,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is he actually going to pick up this first down
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: because it was wide open. Well, it was challenged. Yep.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And they got it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: I'm speaking of the designed roll run. This was late
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: third quarter. So he runs the ball. He gets hit.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: And how many times have you heard Bo say, I
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: got to get hit to get into the game, right?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I got to get. So he gets hit.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: Here's what he does after that. Bowe to Nate Adkins
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: for 18 yards. Third and seven. Bowe on a crossing
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: patter to Waddle for 16 yards. Bowe on second and
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: eight to Waddle for eight yards. Another first down.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: First and goal. Bowe. Fake it to Franklin incomplete. Second
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and goal. Play action. Roll right. Adkins. Touchdown. It was
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a different player. It was like a different player. So
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Saying you have to run all the time. I'm saying
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: why don't they utilize that? When they were first in
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: goal and they went three straight run plays with J.K. Dobbins,
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: why not utilize your quarterback's legs?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Sure. I'm actually fine with three straight runs. Are you
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: talking about like a naked boot or something like that?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you utilize his legs, great things happen. Well,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I know. He just becomes a different guy. And J.B.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and everybody else, if you can't see it, I'm watching
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the transformation as the game goes on, Brett. I'm literally
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: watching this guy go like this. You know, all right,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: screw it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: Let's just go play ball. It's much more street ball.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: It's much more, I mean, not street ball, but you
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: know what I mean? It's just much more relaxed, free-flowing,
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: and let's just throw the pig and let's get into
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: a rhythm, and that's exactly what they did.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: The NFL weekend isn't over until Monday night. Football wraps up.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Tune in for Giants and Rams tonight right here on
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5. Coverage starts at 6, kickoff at 6.20
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: on your exclusive home for the NFL on Westwood One,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: powered by... by Twin Peaks. Eats, drinks, scenic views, a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: lot more to break down. With this game, we have
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Ryan Harris joining us at 8 o'clock. Stick around. Coach,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: was there a concerted effort to just run the ball more? Yeah.
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: I think we're built up front and a little bit
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: more under center. You know, you're constantly looking to find
• 15:08
  Speaker 9: ways to take the quarterback off the high dive, right?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: You know, the two the two greatest.
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: Allies for that position are defense and a good run game.
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: But those guys up front did a good job, and
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: D-Webb did a great job.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: We had good balance.
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: It was a good win.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I live my life like there's no tomorrow. Sean Payton
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: after the game, they did make a better commitment to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the running game. It was 28 runs to 31 passes.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: That's the sort of splits that you want to see.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You did that in spite of J.K. Dobbins leaving the game.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: And you know what? It's frustrating.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: It really is when you're running your face right into
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage and going nowhere like they did
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: at the goal line.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It's frustrating.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Sometimes you're not going anywhere. But eventually things emerge. Eventually
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: you win that battle. You saw in the fourth quarter
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: when you needed to.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Run, You ran. Yeah.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: And effectively, I'm not saying it works that way all
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: the time, but yesterday was a great example of keep.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Going to bat, man. It'll work. And I'll give them
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: this credit is they stuck to it despite the fact
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that J.K. Dobbins left because last year when he was injured,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: they kind of went away from the running game because
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it felt like they didn't trust some guys. I think
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Jonah Coleman came in and filled in excellently when Dobbins left.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: You pointed out, Vic, at the end of the game,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: He has the big run for the first down. Smart
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: enough as a rookie to know just get down, inbounds,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: keep the clock going. The other thing that you wanted
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to see that did happen in a big way, when
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you invest a first-round pick in acquiring a brand-new player
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to help your offense, bring in some athleticism, Jalen Waddell,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: eight catches, 138 yards. Use him. Right? Use him. Target him.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Allow him. To do what he does.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And he did exactly that. He got loose. I do
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: want to pinpoint, Moj, the J.K. Dobbins injury.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: Because I'm sitting next to Coach Sanford, and he saw
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: it before anyone. Remember, the Broncos in the second quarter
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: were knocking on the door.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: They were at the goal line. They had it first
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and goal.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: And they went three straight times to Dobbins and couldn't
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: get anything. They couldn't get a yard.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Couldn't do anything.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: And The first carry of that attempt is when Dobbins
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: got hurt. He sort of, his leg got caught underneath
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: a defensive end and he limped up and almost looked
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: as if he wanted to come out of the game.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: He didn't come out, but he got up hurriedly and
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: was sort of looking at the sideline and you could
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: tell something was not there. Something wasn't working, but he
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: stayed in the game. And then they gave him the
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: ball two more times. And I believe on those second
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: runs that he made, he wasn't all there.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: He couldn't push off that late.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: I saw your tweet, and I agreed with you. He
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: wasn't all there. And so that third attempt, which I
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: don't know what, what was that pitch play from television's perspective?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was. Why did that not work? So it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: felt like the center snapped it on a snap count
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: that they weren't prepared for.
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: Hold on.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I thought the whole right side of the line fall started.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: That's what it looked like to me, that they didn't
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: call it, but the entire right side of the offensive
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: line fall started, and then the ball was snapped, and
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: then Bo was like, take it!
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: So, before that play call, I believe Dobbins was hurt,
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: and I know they're calling this a hamstring, but I
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: believe his foot had some issues too, because Sanford saw it.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: We saw him, excuse the word here, waddling around there,
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: but he couldn't push off the leg, and he stayed
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: in the game, and I believe It's one of those things.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: You're a competitor.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: You just told everybody you're not injury prone. You pinky
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: promised with Andy Lindahl. You're not leaving this game. And
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: I give him full credit for doing that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: He toughed it out.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: He said, I'm going to tough this sucker out. I'm hurt,
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: but I'm not leaving this game. But you could tell
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: he just wasn't the same after that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I said this during camp that I think it's admirable
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: that he was– saying, I promise I won't get hurt.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And we all know in our heads, it's like, well,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that's not a promise you can make. It's not an
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: effort thing. That's if your body works or not. That's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a fortune thing. But I thought to myself, is there
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: going to be a situation this year where he tries
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to push through an injury and could make himself worse
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: because he has that in his head? Like I already
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: told them I'm not going to miss any games. I
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. You just saw it. He
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: pushed through that. And again, it's not his fault. It's
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: no one's fault. Injuries happen.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: He happened to, All underneath the defensive lineman at that situation,
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: it didn't work. One thing I did deduce watching football
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: all day yesterday, Kenneth Walker, Broncos don't got one of those.
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: He was playing his butt off last night.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: Hey, they don't they don't have one of those yeah
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: that that's that's something different do you notice that that's
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: just different.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So here's the deal um and we can open it
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: up to to the listeners 303 5040925 I want to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: ask you guys a question what grade would you give
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix from yesterday.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: I would say it was a good flat-out B.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Well, he outpassed Justin Lawrence. Good flat-out B. He outdid
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Justin Lawrence.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I'm sorry, Trevor Lawrence. Justin Lawrence had a
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: big sweeper for the Rockies a couple years ago. Hey, Brett,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: you know what he did?
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: He outplayed Jennifer Lawrence, which is not hard to do.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Not hard to do. Let's see, did I write down
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in my notes Justin Lawrence? Jennifer Lawrence.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: But you know what's interesting about that? Everybody always measures
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Bowe against the opposing quarterback. Until we remember the opposing
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: quarterback has to go against the Broncos D.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So is that a fair measurement? Is that fair? Well,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: here's the deal. I give Bo like, I think a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: B minus and you could convince me of a B
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and you can convince me of a C plus. And
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: here's my overall thoughts on this is, once again, you
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: enter a fourth quarter with six points. But then on
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: three drives where you needed plays to happen, he made
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the plays happen. But he also had the pick on
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the terrible throw in the first half of the red zone.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not blaming... See... Vic, Vic, whether you think it's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: a bad play call or not, the decision to make
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the throw... It's a terrible decision. I throw that ball
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: 10 out of 10 times. I give Courtland Sutton a
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: high point chance to go get it. Okay, Vic, then
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you have to throw it. But he didn't high point it.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: He didn't high point it. And he threw it too
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: far ahead. Listen to me. With all due respect to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you and your beautiful hair today. You don't have to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: respect me. Okay, well, then I don't. Because you're this
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: cockamamie idiot. I will argue this. It's like goodwill hunting.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: It's not your fault. I saw the play unfold. It's
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: not your fault. Me and Sanford saw it unfold and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: we said, oh, he's going to the back corner. He's
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: going to the back corner.
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: Then go to the back corner, Vic. If you want
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: to high point it, how about this? If Sutton doesn't
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: catch it, it's out.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Of the end zone. Okay, sure. Okay, that's all I'm saying. Okay, fine.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: But that was still, I think, in my opinion, it
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: was a poor decision. Poor play call, poor decision.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: What was worse? What was worse? Sorry, at least rank it.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: What was worse, the play call or the decision?
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: That's hard to say because, again, you're talking about a
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: guy who wins the 50-50 battles all the time. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: if you throw it high enough, he can out-jump the
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: DB at the back of the end zone. And if
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: he can't get it, ain't nobody getting it. That's the
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: way I look at it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not. That play doesn't bother me one iota. Not
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: one bit. It doesn't. It just doesn't. Because I understand
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the circumstance there. There are some other issues. The unwillingness
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to use his legs. That bothers me. Well, they started
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to use his legs. Exactly. And then what happened? He
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: got confident. Then they got rhythm and they started to
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: kick butt. So what's going on here? Why are they
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: not running Bo Nix? Bo Nix has a special power.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: It's his legs. We've seen it. Why is it taking
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: so long to use them? Why? I don't know, Vic.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: You'll have to ask Davis Webb. I don't know. I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: don't know why they don't use them in the running
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: game more. They should. I'm just watching this play again.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: This is a bad throw, Vic. I don't know what
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to tell you. I understand that, but that was– the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: throw was predetermined. You understand that, right? Yeah, but it's–
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: What else is– I'm just– It's floating backwards, back foot,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: lofted in the air with– I mean, a DB standing
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: If somebody says to me, you give Cortland Sutton a
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: chance to go get the ball, I give it to him.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Now, was it poorly thrown?
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: But I gave him a chance to go get the ball. Well,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and here's the other thing is I put him in
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the B-grade– Because he made some big-time throws, especially late
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: in games. This is what makes it, I think, really
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: hard to evaluate. You put in extra emphasis on things
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: that you do late in the game. And I've said forever,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I think that Bowe's greatest asset in quality as a
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: quarterback is when the game is on the line. This
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: is what's weird, man. Whenever you think of Bowe as
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, there ain't too many quarterbacks you're taking over
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Bowe in the fourth quarter. If you need a drive
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to result in a touchdown, if you need something to
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: get you a lead, if you need to ice a
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: football game, there's not too many quarterbacks you take over
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix in that situation.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: I honestly wish I could figure out or knew what
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: was going on in his head because he looks like
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: a different player to me. When he's just playing quarterback
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: and not overthinking, just not pitter-patter in the pocket and
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: looking nervous and overthrows and this kind of thing, when
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: he's just Just saying, let's go play ball. That's when
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: he becomes this different, different guy.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: I think you guys are grading tough graders, I guess.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: I give Bo a B plus, almost A minus. You
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: guys are, I mean, what do you want?
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: 22 of 31. No, it's your fault. 288. He threw
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: for 100 more yards than the other quarterback. Yes, he did. But, but, but, but, but, but, but.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Average 10 yards of pass. What do you want? The
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: responsibility of you as the leader of an offense is
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to put the ball in the end zone. Having six
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: points with 12 minutes remaining in the game is not
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: something that's admirable for that day. The way he finished
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is yes, but this is some of those like the,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the numbers can, how many times have we talked about
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: this in the off season? Bo Nix was top 10
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: in the league in passing yards. Didn't really feel that way.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Not really.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: So do you blame him then on the first possession
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: of the second quarter when they get to the doorstep
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: of the goal line and they run it three straight times?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Is that Bo's fault? No, that is not Bo's fault.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: And you know why they did that, right?
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Are you okay with the selection? They're trying to establish something.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: I actually am totally okay with coming three straight runs.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: So am I. The fact that you can't get in
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: is really frustrating. Yeah, that's from the one-yard line, very frustrating.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: But.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: That's not on Bo. Why would you penalize Bo? Nobody's
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: seen it's on Bo.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: He just said, it's a quarterback's job to score touchdowns.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: The quarterback, the ball was taken out of his hands
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: in that situation.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: He was handed it off. On that drive. Which is smart.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Which is what I would have, I would have run
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: it three times in a row as well. Then the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: throw on the next drive that resulted in the interception
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: took points off the board.
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: Unless you want to do, unless you want to do
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: on second down, not third, unless you want to do
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: a little play action.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: Because they think you're going to try to pound the
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: rock up the gut. Okay, but again, this game, it
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: just looked and reminded me so much of things last year.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: Just think about it, all right? It's 13-6, and the
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: ball's in Trevor Lawrence's hands. If I was a Jags fan,
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: I'd be going, what the hell? And they have a
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: little drive going. It's nothing major, but they get to
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: third and six. And I swear to God, how, if
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: you're Trevor Lawrence, do you not see Riley Moss?
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: I think it's one of those situations where he's trying
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: to go back shoulder. He's trying to go back shoulder
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: and put a little too much on it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: And then Riley turned around at the perfect time. It's
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: almost like he ran the route for him. Riley played
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: it perfectly. But again, these quarterbacks.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: There was no pressure. Lawrence was tall in the pocket.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: That was his choice.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: I think he was trying to go back shoulder. By
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: the way, Riley Moss had a great game. He had
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: a chance for a second pick as well.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: He did. He had a penalty early on, but no
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: big deal. Almost a diving pick. Okay, so let me
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: explain then.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: So then, inexplicably, a quarterback you've been getting to, but
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: a guy who, in that situation, if you're Liam Cohen,
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: you say, you know what?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Do anything. Just don't turn the ball over.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: Because if we have to punt, we're still going to
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: be able to pin them back deep in their own
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: end with a 13-6 lead and make them drive all
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: the way down the field again, right?
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: So you're talking about positional football, and you're talking about
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: winning football on the road. And this is where the
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: opposition lets the Broncos off the hook a little bit again, Brett.
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Throws the pick.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: All of a sudden, you've got a way shorter field
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: than you were going to have. And now the offense
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: is like, it's our time. And they go right down
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: and they score. 10 plays, 64 yards and 446.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Awesome. Okay.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: Okay. So hang on a second now. So then, and
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: this is where the Broncos defense comes up badass again.
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: So then the Jags get the ball, right? And they're
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: at their own 32. They're driving, they're driving. They finally
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: get down into Broncos territory.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And then they stalled.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: And so here we go. It's a 54-yard field goal.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: And dude misses it. He was two for two.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: On the day. That's a big break. And Cam Little
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: misses the field goals.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: But this is what I'm talking about. I guess you
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: help make the breaks, Vic, but you're also getting these breaks.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: And then you capitalize on it again. So we saw
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: this time and time again last year, Brett, where– Teams,
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: especially when you look at that Giants game and that
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: Eagles game, they're like, here, get back in the game
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: and do something with it. Now, the Broncos did something
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: with it, so they deserve full credit. But if you're
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: playing just a smart road game in the AFC against
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: a very good team in the Denver Broncos, you don't
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: turn the football over, and then you catch the break
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: of where the guy misses the field goal.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: I'm content with the Broncos' performance yesterday. I knew it
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: was going to be a close game. I knew it
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: was going to be a nail-biter type game. I told
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: you guys that's what it was going to be, and
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: that's what it was. Here's the one thing I can't
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: get over, and it still bothers me. So you outgain
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: them in total yards, 392 to 268.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: You outrush them, which is rare for the Broncos, right?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: They don't do this too often. You outgain them in
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the running department. You outpass them nearly two to one.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Your quarterback goes 288. Theirs goes 173. You do everything
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: to outperform them statistically. And yet there's one category that
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: sort of, changes things, and it's something that is off still.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Talking about penalties? Penalties. Yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: I was going to say the same thing.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Penalties.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: And I call them the mechanical penalties. The ones that
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden a false start. All of a
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: sudden a... A receiver holds. The little things that just ruin.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Offside.
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: It ruins your ability to continue a drive. It just
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: messes you up.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: And they had too many of those yesterday. This is
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: a well-coached team.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: We know this. Why do these continue? At home, especially.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Those happen on the road, Moj, when they can't hear
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: each other. Yeah. At home, you should not be getting
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: 10 penalties to the opposition's four. That should not happen.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: We got a text from a California cell phone. I
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: like that. Ready for this, Brett?
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: This is where I'm going to educate the 5, 4, 6, 7.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Here we go. You guys sound mad that the Broncos
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: won because it gets in the way of your complaining.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad at all. Hang on. You're right.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: Broncos also showed a lot of character in coming back
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: to win games often as they do. A lot of
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: NFL teams don't have that ability to give them a
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: little credit for character.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I give them full credit for character.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: What's this guy's deal?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Full, full credit for character.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: And again, in the fourth quarter, I'm not sure I
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: want anybody else on the field besides Bo Nix, maybe
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: Josh Allen, or maybe a rejuvenated Patrick Mahomes. But other
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: than that, because he's got an overtime, Mahomes is clean
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: on the sheet his entire career.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: But the fact of the matter is, I'm trying to
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: tell you, 5, 4, 6, 7, and everybody else.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Last year was a fluke. If you keep playing these
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: kind of games, you're going to maybe win 50%.
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: Let's just call it 50-50. Last year, you were 11-0,
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: 12-0 in these kind of games. Let's say you went 6-6.
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you, you just can't live life in the
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: NFL this way.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. And they have a ton of character.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: You're right about that. I have a different takeaway than
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you do.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: I think the Broncos did exactly what I expected them
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: to do yesterday. They won a close game, and they
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: did it in rally fashion.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Against a really good team. I'm good with it. I'm
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: good with it. My takeaway is, okay, good. They found it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: They found some offense. That's my takeaway. Good. That's good.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: That's a good takeaway. Good for you.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: Now, they got some injured running backs, and they're down
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: to their rookie running back.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Because say what you want about J.K. 's injury. If
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: it's a hamstring, he could play next Sunday. Let me
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: tell you something. He ain't playing with a hamstring. Hamstrings
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: are not one week. I know you've had a hamstring, right? Yeah.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Is it one week?
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: No.
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Ain't happening. A lot more to get to with this. 303-504-0925.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Got Ryan Harris that is going to join us at
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: 8 o'clock this morning. Congratulations, by the way, to Valor's
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Chase Fall. Fallis. Sorry. Chase Fallis. He's our student of
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the week. Chase's hard work and leadership and positive attitude
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: shine in the classroom, on the field, and in his community.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: It's presented by Mr. Reuter Plumbing. Proudly rooting for Colorado
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: students and athletes back after this.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Nick's out of the pocket.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Loops, throws, deep shot. Jalen Waddle's got it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Down to the one contested ball, and Waddle wins the
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: battle against Buster Brown.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: And this is why Jalen Waddle's here, to give them
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: that speed, to give them that deep threat.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Sean said you got a game ball after the win.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: What's that like? to be with your teammates there and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: get that recognition?
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Well, it means a lot, man. You know, since I
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: came here, they treated me like brothers since day one,
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: not knowing too many people on the team. They just
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: allowed me to be myself each and every day. And,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: you know, I like going to work with them, love
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: going to work with them, love, you know, grinding all
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: the dog days we had in camp. So it means
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: a lot.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Jalen Waddell after the game, huge performance. They catch us
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: 138 yards. He was every bit the guy that you
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: paid for this offseason. He looked fantastic, and that's what
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: you want, man. Get him into the game. Get some
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: connection going with Bo Nix. That was cool. Let me
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: say this. There was one.
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: Well, there's two targets to this guy. A lot of
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: guys in that second half made unbelievably good plays, including.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Troy Franklin on the one-handed catch. Dude, that was the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: catch of the game. What a grab. I was like,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: oh my. I'm like, oh my God. What shoulder?
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Okay, so he's going down the left sideline. The ball
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: was thrown over his left shoulder.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: So he reached out with his left hand.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Do you know how hard that is? Well, I. one
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: that's not going to get as much love the catch
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: by Evan Ingram, full speed, low ball to be able
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: to grab that one was another big catch. Super duper.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, so these guys, Hey, shout out to Ingram,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: by the way, we wanted more from our tight ends.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: It's not like he's lit up the stat sheet, but
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I think the first two weeks he's played well.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: But it's almost like the whole time to find a
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: God dang Joker.
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: I reckon the offense starts when you can see Nick
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: start to get that, that dog in him, that, you know,
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: that free-flowing Bo Nix, that screw it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: It's like everybody sort of amps up off of that.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they feed off of him in
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: that regard.
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Then all of a sudden you start making these plays
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: and these unbelievable catches and guys are running great routes
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: and Waddle's shaking DBs, and it's just such a more
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: pleasing thing to see.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: So let's jump back to this in about 15 minutes
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: with Ryan Harris. I do want to go to college
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: football for a second. And, you know, we are both excited.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: All of us were excited about both games this weekend
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: between CU and CSU, and both of them turned out
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: to be over in a hurry. I'll extend a little
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: more grace to CSU. It's year one of a new
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: head coach, new system, new everything. You're playing the number
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: 11 team in the country. Dude, you lost your quarterback. Yeah,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: what is it? Hosseini.
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: What is the status of Hosseini? Does anyone know the
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: status of Haas?
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: No, but he left at the end of the first quarter, Vic,
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: and he never came back. I mean, you lost your
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: dual-thread quarterback.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: When he ran it right back down the field after
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: BYU scored and CSU tied it up, I've got to
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: be honest with you, I was a little excited.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I was a bit excited at that point.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, here we go. Yep. Yeah, but they came out
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and paced it early, man. And they called the dogs
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: off late. They own the trenches. Yeah, no doubt about it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of the CU game.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Northwestern is. They've only played one
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: game before this. It's not like they played in FCS
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: school in South Dakota State, and they only won by 16.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: We said it going into the game. I guess we
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: don't really know, but my guess would be if they
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: played Georgia Tech. I think Georgia Tech probably beats Northwestern.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: To lose that way felt like a punch in the gut.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Because I was just starting to get on board with, hey,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: they're stopping the run and they're running the football. It
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: feels like it's a little bit different to lose in
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: that manner, to turn the ball over like you did
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in the first half so many times.
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: I was just going to say, Brett, if you turn
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: the football over four times in a game, you should
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: get pasted. If you commit four turnovers in a game,
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: obviously lose, but you should get pretty much pasted.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened. But I just, I thought, I
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: thought from the first two games, maybe you were beyond
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: results that look like that against teams like Northwestern. Look,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: if you play, I don't know, if you play BYU
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: or if you play a big team in the country,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: maybe that's still possible. I thought Northwestern games wouldn't be 41-7.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought we were beyond that part of it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just, when you're losing to a school from
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: that conference and you lose by that score, okay, Austin, Michigan,
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: Ohio State.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Indiana, I just can't. Penn State. I can't do that
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to Northwestern. Not Northwestern. It just doesn't fit the bill.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: That would be like, yeah, if Purdue beat the living
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: crap out of you, you'd be like, hey, man, what gives?
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Deion, after the game, he said he heard some guys
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: laughing after the game. He said this.
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: Well, I saw some guys fight and fighting through it,
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: offensively and defensively. Now, you did see a couple guys
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: that I just got on. Because I don't understand how
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: you can have joy in a loss, especially when I'm
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: upset and I'm walking right behind you. I don't understand that.
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: I can't never understand that because I want to win
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: every darn thing. And I can't understand how in the
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: world do you find joy or you can find a
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: laughing matter when I'm right behind you walking in. I
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: don't understand that. And I addressed it. And I'm going
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: to put my foot in it, not on it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Now, if you're a player, listen to me.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: If you're a guy who doesn't get in the game,
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: and you're just an observer, and you're just watching the game,
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: you're just there as a fan, essentially. You're one of
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: the reserves who never gets in. Not that I can
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: allow it, but I can understand those guys just sort
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: of having fun. You know, you're fun, you're watching the game.
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: But if you're playing in the game, you're a competitor,
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: and you're laughing after a game, I don't want you
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: on my team. I don't know how you guys respond
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: to stuff. When I play sports, when I played sports,
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: I'm not a good loser. No, I'm a terrible loser.
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: I'm in a bad mood and you can't get me
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: out of it. I'm not smiling. I'm not glasses half
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: full guy. I'm not any of that. I totally agree
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: with coach Sanders there. If you're laughing and smiling and
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: getting all happy, go lucky.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Like it's field day. Yeah. After you get pasted. No,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Dale's a loser. No, no, no, no, no. That doesn't work.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Of course not. That doesn't work. And again, I'll say this, um,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: My hope was that we were beyond that sort of stuff.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: A loss would have been like, okay, disappointing, but whatever.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: But to lose the way that you did was brutal.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: It's nowhere near the worst loss in college football over
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the weekend, though. I've never seen anything like the way
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: that North Carolina State lost. NC State.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: It was the dumbest play I've ever seen. I think
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: it may have been. In terms of dumb plays... Where
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: do you rank that in dumb plays?
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: It might be the stupidest play that I've seen in
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: the history of me watching sports. What are you... What
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: are you trying to do? For those who don't know,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: here's what happened. I believe there was... Brett, it's hard
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: to explain. Well, no, no, no. I got it. Let
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: him explain it. Okay. I forget how much time is left.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: It was like six or seven seconds. Nothing. Nothing's on
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: the clock.
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: So.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: They're backed up near their own goal line. Six, seven
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: seconds left on the clock. I don't know. Something like that.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: And here's what they were instructed. They're up three. Coach
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: tells them, and I don't even have a problem with
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: this strategy. We're up three. Take the snap out of
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: the shotgun. Burn some clock. Take a knee in the
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: end zone. And run the clock out. We'll give up
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: two points, but we'll win 31 to 30.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Quarterback runs in the end zone, and I think there's
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: still like two seconds left on the clock, so he's like, well,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the clock, it's not at zero. I'm not taking a knee.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: He looked up at the other clock.
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: He's looking up to try to exhaust the clock while
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: there's chaos around him.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: But there's like, even if you take a knee, okay,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: you kick off, you're still going to win. So he
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: decides not to take the knee. He gets hit, fumbles.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt recovers for a touchdown. They lose. So what should
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: he have done? Just go in the end zone and
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: lay down. Take a knee. Just go in the end
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: zone and lay down. Then you putt the ball away.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: With two seconds left. Yeah, then you putt the ball away.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Then you're at the prayer of a Hail Mary.
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: I'm not defending this kid, but I am going to
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: ask you this. What if the coach made it sound like, hey,
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: make sure you exhaust the.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Clock before you fall? Why not just quarterback sneak it
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: three times? There's six seconds left on the damn clock.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing, too. They weren't at the one-yard line.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: They were at the six. They could have just taken
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: a knee. Just a regular old knee. There's no reason
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: to backtrack six yards into the end zone. Oh, my God, dude.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I've just never seen anything like that. Never seen it. Honestly,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: it's hard to.
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: It's really hard to fathom how the hell that happened.
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's just.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. It's just... It's insane. The other
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: thing from college football, by the way, that Ole Miss-LSU
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: game was just electric. LSU loses. And, man, I... It's
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: hard to find a fan base that hates somebody as
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: much as Ole Miss hates Lane Kiffin. Well, you understand why. Well,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: of course, yeah. He left them high and dry. He
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: left them in the middle of a playoff run. And.
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: And he tried to raid all their best players and coaches.
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: He didn't just leave them.
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: He wanted Chambliss to go with him.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: He tried to get him to go. He not only
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: left Ole Miss. What a player he is, by the way. God,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I love him.
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: I think he's the best player in college football. But
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: not only did he leave Ole Miss, he tried to.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Take all of his goodies with him. So here's what's–
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen this, though. The Ole Miss players,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: as Lane Kiffin is walking off the field, almost everybody–
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: is mean mugging him. These are guys that he recruited
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to play at Ole Miss for the most part that
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: he had a relationship with at one point. As he's
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: walking off the field, they look like they want to
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: fight him. His former players look like they want to
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: fight him. But Brett, he abandoned them. Understood.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Understood.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: But let's not pretend like this is new. And I,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I totally, if whatever feelings that Ole Miss players have
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: about Lane Kiffin, they should have them. I don't disagree
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: at all. I've just never seen it to that extent
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: where it's like everybody just leave all the time. Players
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: leave all the time.
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: And you see it with players to a player leaves.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: He wants to beat his old school.
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: His old teammates want to beat him.
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: This is the new dynamic of college, college football.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Now, um, Ole Miss is very fortunate that Trinidad Chambliss
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: did not go to LSU with Lane Kiffin because if
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: they had Trinidad Chambliss at LSU, that team would be
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: borderline unbeaten.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: You know, I like to talk about the quarterback play
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: at every level. But in college football, if your quarterback
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: can move as well as throw, you have yourself a
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: chance every game. That touchdown run he had late when
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: he went around the left side, I swear.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I thought that that was a speedback. I said, wait,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: that's Chambliss? when he beat the DB to the goal line,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: that was unreal.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: The speed he possessed on that play. And then I
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: love him. I think he's the best quarterback in the game.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I do too. Now, he's playing his 17th year of
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: college football.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Remember, he had to
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: sue the NCAA to get back in the game. He did.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second, though. Let me check it out. Yeah.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: He is– how old is he? I have no idea.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: It surprised me when I found out yesterday that Trevor
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: Lawrence and Bo Nix were the same age.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: So he's 24. So that means, well, Bo Nix was
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: in college at 24. Well, he's been at Ole Miss
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: for only two years, this year and last year. He
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: was at Ferris State in Grand Rapids before that. But
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I still, I can't believe that that guy went from
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: a Division II school to jumping into the SEC and
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: dominating the SEC. that competition there. That's what's nuts. Crazy.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: That wasn't some five-star recruit that decided to transfer over
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: to Ole Miss. This was a Division II player that
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'll just light them up for 22
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and three picks in a limited number of games
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: last year. Anyway, get back to this in a bit.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Ryan Harris is going to join us next.
