  Speaker 1: This is Mosher Lombardi and Kane On Demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from 7 to 10 on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: So if you do lose tonight, you put yourself down
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: a game against the team that you're going to be
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: battling for for the top spot inside the division.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: That being said, even if they.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Should lose the football game, talking about the Broncos, I'm
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: not going to freak at all. Now, how they lose
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: plays a big part in that. Again, if they get
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: blasted 34-10, I'm going to be like, what the heck
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: did I just watch? What the heck just happened? I
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: will be saying that. Do you feel in a way,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Davis Webb, first game, calm play, maybe let him down
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit with the way the offense executed?
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: I think the players did not make it easy on
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: him today. Pretty pitiful, actually, but he was, you know, true.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: to me in the headset he treated it like um
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: you know he was he was a pro with it
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: he's like hey next play here we go you got
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: this um he shot it with conviction i thought um
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: he really i mean we called exactly what we prepared
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: for and what we wanted to get to and um
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: we just didn't execute and then we were behind and
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: just literally i don't think we did um a whole
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: lot of good consistently enough to win the game at all.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: Just as a head coach always, whether you're calling the
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: plays or you're not, regardless of who's calling the plays,
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: when you have a game like that and you're the
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: head coach, it's frustrating, it's disappointing. I don't know that
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: the feeling is any different whether you're calling them or.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Not, honestly. Basics of football. That's what yesterday was. It
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: was tackling. Don't commit penalties. Especially don't commit penalties when
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: it's third and short.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Drive killing penalties.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: When you get a ball that starts at the four-yard line,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: punch it in the end zone. Throw and catch. Third
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: and seven. Jalen Waddell, brand new toy. Catch the ball
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: and get a first down. Commit to the run. Like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: all of this was basic football stuff, and it's part
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: of the reason why, look, The Broncos come out of
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: that game in almost every aspect looking terrible. If you
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: want to point to guys who played well last night,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: good luck. It was kind of R.J.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Harvey.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: It was kind of Evan Ingram. But the big thing
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: here is, I don't know if you guys agree with
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: this or not, if the Broncos just played a clean game, clean,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: not as many missed tackles, cut down on the penalties,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: don't turn the ball over. I think the win, I
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: think it would have been enough. Mahomes had nothing yesterday.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: He didn't complete a pass over 10 yards. Not a
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: single one. In the air. He was 2 of 12
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: to start the game. If you played clean, I think
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: you would have been fine, but you played so terribly undisciplined,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: you didn't have a shot.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: Can I make this case? And you guys may disagree.
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: If you're going to lose, lose big.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I've always said that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: I've always said that. If you're going to lose like this,
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: get wiped out to where you have to reset everything
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: to where maybe your pride takes a hit and their
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: pride took a hit. Let's say they lose 31-30 last night.
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: Let's say what unfolds is what we discussed yesterday on
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: the show. Holmes got the ball back with 30 seconds, whatever,
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: and they got a game-winning field goal. They lose 31-30.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: Then we'd be nitpicking whatever took place in the final seconds, right?
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: Right now, there is no nitpicking.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: There's just picking.
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah. There's no knits to pick. The entire program looked
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: like crap. 176 yards of total offense for the Denver Broncos.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: You know what that represents? The lowest output since Sean
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: Payton arrived as head coach.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: I repeat. The lowest output since he arrived as head coach.
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: And right there on Monday Night Football for all to see.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: 176 yards.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: Missed tackles. The most missed tackles by a pro football
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: team in what? 10 years?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I've seen since 2018. At least 2018.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: Kenneth Walker last night forced 15 missed tackles, which is
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: more than the Chiefs lead running back did all of
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: last season.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait. Kareem Hunt wasn't breaking tackles?
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: That was kind of funny.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Geez.
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: Vic, you just watched the play.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I pointed it out to you. On fourth and one,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I think it was their second fourth down that they
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: went for, the one that resulted in the 60-yard touchdown
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: from Kenneth Walker. So the Broncos are all stacked at
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. There's a missed tackle at the
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. But when you're boxing everybody in, if
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you miss one tackle and he's past that line, it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: open space, right? He's running down the sideline. And Brandon
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Jones has the angle on him. And he makes contact
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: with him about the 12. Now, remember, Kenneth Walker has
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: six inches between his feet and the sideline.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: He's tiptoeing the sideline.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: And Brandon Jones is coming in full speed at an angle.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Literally has his entire body wrapped around Kenneth Walker and
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: slides off like he's covered in Crisco.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: Like a banana peel. Yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And he's falling right off.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: And Walker goes in the end zone. And I go,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: even something like that. Think about this. That is potentially
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: the difference between giving up a touchdown and giving up
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: a field goal. Like, maybe you hold them. They would
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: have been 10 yards away from the end zone. Maybe
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: you do hold to a field goal. Hell, they did
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: it to you when you started at the four-yard line.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's... Did you just see it? Yeah,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: it's like.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I saw it obviously live when it happened. But
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: if you see it again, you're like, how did that happen?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: How does he stay in balance? First of all, how
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: does he stay in balance? It's like he had Crisco
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: all over him.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Exactly. Does he have the strength of 12 men?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: The guys are bouncing off of him and unable to
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: bring him down. His patience he displayed last night. I mean,
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: he had a little Le'Veon Bell in him. And then
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: the speed. He looked like the best running back I've
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: ever seen.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Hey, look, we've said this before. People are giving us
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: grief for this. I don't know what else to tell you.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker is a good running back. Very good running back.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker also averages 4.3 yards per carry in his career.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: It was seven and a half last night. Like last
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: night was something different. And I think a lot of
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: it was yes. Kenneth Walker being great. It was also
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the Broncos doing it to themselves and you can bring
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: up Superbowl MVP and that's fine. All I'm telling you is,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: would you rather have Kenneth Walker or Bichon or Kenneth
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Walker or Gibbs or Kenneth Walker or Derek Henry or Taylor,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: but Saquon, whoever.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: Let's flip this around a little bit.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Oveke, real quick though, because again, your post-game analysis, all
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of you last night, I thought was very good on,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: what's it called?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Mile high post-game. Mile high post-game.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: You seem to be struggling with the time.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Well, it's, it's, It's just Mile High. It doesn't exactly
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: flow off the tongue.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: It's Mile High.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I think it's called Altitude Sports Radio Post Game on
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Altitude Television.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: They're not allowed to use the word Broncos.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Right, right, right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: So rather than use the word Broncos.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Mile High Post Game Live. Mile High.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: On Altitude Television. Post Game Live. Okay. Carried by Altitude
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: on Altitude Radio and Altitude Television. Produced by Altitude.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Okay. Could you say Brontos?
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: If you just did that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: That's a good point. Brontos Post Game Live.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: How about Bronx?
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Bronx Post Game Live.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Could you do that?
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: Maybe.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: But from the 0-2-1-2, and Mike Sanford brought this up
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: last night, specifically about Jones, but the 0-2-1-2 says both
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: safeties look slow or heavy-footed. Coach made the point on
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Jones last night, despite having the interception, that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: How did he put it, Brett, Vic, was it he looked,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: he played old. He played old. Yeah. You know what
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And everybody has these games, I think, where they look
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: slower and older than they really are, and that's not
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: really them. But that doesn't help. When you're having a
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: situation like that, it certainly doesn't help.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: So let's pretend for a moment that the Broncos learned
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: how to tackle.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: Let's just pretend that tackling was part of their formula
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: because obviously they forgot how to tackle last night. And
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: let's just say that Kenneth Walker achieves half the yards
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: he did. Because most of them came after the hit.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: And let's just say that the Chiefs score what? Instead
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: of 31 points, 13 points. Well, guess what? They still
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: win the game 13-10. And the point I'm getting at here,
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: I know that the first topic, and it was last
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: night and it is this morning, is missed tackles. Because
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: that was the most glaring thing we saw, right?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Glaring.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: But I am tired.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: In pretty historically past.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: So that's what drew the headlines.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: Missed tackles.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Greased pig.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Missed tackles. I get it. But I just gave you
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: a scenario. Let's just cut their point total in half.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: Their yards in half. Sure.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: The Broncos still lose the game.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: Because their offense is pathetic at times. And it was
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: pathetic last night. It was trash. Their new toy, Jalen Waddell,
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: who they thought was going to change everything, one catch,
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: two yards, one big drop on first down. Their new toy,
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: Kenneth Walker, was the MVP of the game. That's all
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: you have to say, really. What is that offense we
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: witnessed last night? What was that, Moshe? The fewest yards
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: in Sean Payton's coaching career as a Bronco. It can't be.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Just the new play calling. It's all-encompassing. And again, when
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Peyton says at halftime, was he talking to Laura Rutledge?
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Yes. When he says, you know, we'd like to run
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: the ball more, blah, blah, blah. Okay, fine.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: Well, what?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, Kansas City, I think you're so right. And
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: he basically said, I'm sure it went like this. As
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I'm watching the game, I'm trying to imagine the meeting
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: between Reed and Kenneth Walker.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And it's, hey, um. You're going to get the ball
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: a lot tonight. What did you think was going to happen?
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I know, exactly. Hey, Kenneth, glad to have you. Great
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: that now you're a chief. It's great.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Ready to die?
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: You're going to carry.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: See, this is the pig, and you're going to carry
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the pig a lot. I just want to let you know, okay?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what he did. I mean, the first
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: four plays of the game, it's the Kenneth Walker show.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: The whole first drive was the Kenneth Walker show. But
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: why can't... I mean, and it's frustrating because.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I know that J.K. Dobbins can run the football, but
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: why aren't you running the football?
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Can I present something to you guys and just give
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: me a reaction to this, okay? Bo Nix last night,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: 131 yards passing, one touchdown, one interception, and one fumble lost. Okay?
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: So one touchdown, two picks, 130 yards passing. Last year,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Bo Nix in week one, 176 yards, one touchdown, two picks.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: The year before that, Bo Nix in week one, 138 yards,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: no touchdowns, two picks.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: That was his first start ever.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Every first week for Bo Nix has been that game.
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: But this one is worse because he's three years in. Correct.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying everything is basically within a very thin.
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: Margin for error.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: But I still consider this, Bo Nix, you know, we
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: talked about this going into the season. Has there ever
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: been a game that Bo Nix lost? There's other reasons
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: why the Broncos lost, but has there ever been a
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: game where he's been the reason they lost? I think
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: he's a big reason they lost last night. Tackling and offense.
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: And you can say what you want about play calling.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: He was juggling the ball with his feet at times.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: Did he look comfortable to you?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: No.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: That one pass to Ingram, that drive?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: That drive he was, yeah.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: There were times, though, last year, let's say you didn't
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: have a good game, not a great game, but they
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: still found a way to get it done. Brett, this
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: goes back to, again, what Sean Payton said months and
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: months ago. This is that, well, maybe you did some
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of these things, but you got away with it. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: we're wondering, all these one-score games, and they didn't win
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the turnover battle all year long, and they didn't win
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the time of possession battle. How are they doing it, right?
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Well, this, when you turn the ball over and you
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: take sacks, this is what it's supposed to look like.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Not scoring 33 points in the fourth frigging quarter against
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the Giants.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: You know what's true?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Not having Philadelphia not give the ball to Saquon the
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: entire second half allowing you to actually come back and
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: get off your keisters. This is what, this is, when
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: you have those kinds of games, this is what it
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: looks like or what it's supposed to look like.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: That's a good point, Moshe.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: I mean, that is.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Not getting by on the hair, your chinny chin chin.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Minus fourth quarter heroics. That's what a game feels like
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: when you do this for three quarters because you typically
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: don't get that opportunity. And you got a bunch last year.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I'd be lying if I were saying this. I'd be
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: lying if I weren't thinking this last night. Midway through
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: the third quarter, especially when the Broncos got the pick.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Put it at the four-yard line. Part of me thought
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: when Brandon Jones is running that ball, returning it, please score,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: please score, please score. The other part of me thought, man,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: ain't this tailor-made for another Bo Nix comeback? Down 14,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: he gets one drive that starts at the four-yard line.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Now you're only down seven. I was thinking it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: Of course you were.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: We all were. Yeah.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: But here's the deal. I just, you know what I'm
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: tired of? I'm tired of this. So Kansas City has
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: been a notorious explosive team, right, with Patrick Mahomes. They
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: were able to do something last night that everybody and
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: their mother knew they were going to do. I mean,
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: if a dumb sports host in a radio show in
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: Denver could anticipate what Kansas City's offense was going to
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: look like, we said it all week. They were going
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: to run the ball.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: They were going to run the ball, run, run, and run.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, we said it yesterday morning.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: So every week we hear the Broncos say we got
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: to turn up the run game.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: I don't believe them anymore. I'm done believing them. The
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: Broncos are not a running football team. And for whatever reason,
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: they're not willing to pay the price there. They're not
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: willing to call the plays there. They're not willing to
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: To devote the time there? It's not a running football team.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: You're not going to get dirty running yards. Not with
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: this team. You're not going to.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: You're going to have a tough time winning. You better
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: figure it out.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: You tell me. They're not a running football team, dude.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: Chicago put up how many points?
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: 59.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: How did they do it, Brett?
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: They had 200-yard rushers, and they had six rushing touchdowns.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: Everyone's going to look at Caleb Williams and say he
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: was the reason. They did it because they could run
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: the ball.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: But they had two different guys rush for over 100 yards.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: They did it because they could run the ball.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes was bad last night, and they put up
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: 31 points because they ran the football well. That's it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: Denver Broncos are not committed to the run game. They
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: haven't been for three years.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Also, was it me?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: They're not.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Vic, was it me, or was it looking like Travis Kelsey? God,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I was afraid he was going to score there. Thank
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: God they got him at, what.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: The four? I mean, how could.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, that dude's got a piano on his back.
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: Moshe, it's third and one. You're down by a tutty.
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: It's third and one. All you have to do is
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: gain a yard. It could even be four down territory.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: And you're rolling your quarterback out?
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: I know. No, empty backfield.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: On an empty?
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Empty backfield.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: And you want to, what are we doing? 303-504-0925.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Back after this. Let me ask you guys a question.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Because Vicky brought something up and now I just can't
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: get it out of my head. The Broncos are not
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: a running football team. Then why would the Broncos run
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: the football? Do they do pretty good at it?
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: They're not a committed running football team.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: But that's a different thing.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Last year before JK got hurt, he was pretty good.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: No, this is what I'm getting at.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: It's a different thing. Damn it!
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Are we really having the same discussion that we've been
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: doing for three years of Sean Payton's offense? I know
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: it's the first week, but at the end of the
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: first half in which it was a 7-7 football game
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: until a minute and 40 seconds left, there's no excuse
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: not to be running the football then. And the run-pass
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: ratio was 6-17. 23 plays total. Six of them were runs.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know how many of those, by the way,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: were Bo Nix scrambling. Maybe a couple. J.K. Dobbins had
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: three carries in the first half. When J.K. Dobbins carries
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: the football.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: Wait a minute. So you're featured back. I don't even
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: know what your featured back is in this offense anymore. J.K. Dobbins,
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: who is healthy now, had three carries in the first half.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Three.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: That's all you need to say.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: But here's the thing, Vic.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: J.K.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Dobbins, last year on 153 carries, averaged five yards per
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: carry per which is a pretty good standard in this league.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: If you hit five, you're really damn good.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: You're doing pretty good.
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: I'm going to say this again, and I want somebody
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: to prove me wrong. I want to be wrong here.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I want to be wrong.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: The Denver Broncos do not want to pay the price
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: to be a run team. What is the price?
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: The effort, the price. There's got to be failure at times.
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: There's got to be a one-yard run, a one-yard run,
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: maybe a three-and-out just running. You have to be willing
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: to pay the price and do the dirty work. You
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: have to be willing to run it at practice. Run it,
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: run it, run it. Are you saying that the line
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: can't run block?
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: What are you saying?
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: I'm making the comment. You tell me what I mean.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: That's what I guess I'm saying. The Denver Broncos are
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: not willing to pay the price to be a running football.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Team.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's a lot I can say that
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: would dispute that. Well, the evidence was right in front
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: of you. Here's what I push back. When it comes
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: to the running game, I push back against one thing
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: and one thing only. When people say they can't.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I don't buy that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: They can. I saw it last year for 10 games
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: with J.K. Dobbins. I saw it. When you gave him
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: the football, good things happened. Are there negative yardage plays?
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Guess what?
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker had like a couple last night. That doesn't
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: mean you abandon that. But when you say, I'm not
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: saying you, when anybody says they can't run the football, yes,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: they can.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: They don't.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: And that's a different thing.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: You know, it's also a lot of mental stuff. What
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: crumbles a defense's confidence more, a long run or a
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: long pass?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Did you notice what happened in the first half? Did
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: the Denver Broncos look confident when Mahomes dropped back to
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: pass the football in the first half?
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: In really all game?
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: He couldn't do it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Yes. They look confident.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Did they look confident any time Kenneth Walker touched the
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: football at all?
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah!
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Like, it's demoralizing. That is just straight up like, that
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: is the equivalent of being like, I'm tougher than you.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: Right. I'm going to say it right now. I don't
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: think they teach it enough in practice. I don't think
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: they did in training camp, and I still don't think
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: they do during the course of the week.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Technically.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: Running. Oh, yeah. Running. I don't think they accentuate it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: Whatever word you want to use here, whatever reason you
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: want to use, the Broncos are simply not a running
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: football team. Could they have used a little more running
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: in the AFC title game? If you're a running football team,
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: you think that would have come in handy?
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: You know what's funny? You just hit on something. It's
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: like a light bulb hit me for a second. They
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: don't practice it enough. When we watch training camp, and again,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: we aren't there at practice, so all I have to
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: base it off of is what we saw at camp, right?
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Even when they're going, quote, live, not in the sense
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: of tackling and bringing to the ground, but it's like,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: it's full speed, we're going 11 on 11, right? When
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: they call a running play in those... I feel like
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: it gears down, doesn't it?
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: It feels like.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: So it's like, okay, I stuffed the gap. You would
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: have been tackled right here. Okay, move the ball, spot it,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: move the chains. All right, but when it's a pass play,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: it's full speed. I'm going up, trying to knock the
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: ball down. I'm doing all this stuff. But when they
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: hand it off, because they can't tackle... It feels like
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: it's not moving as quickly.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: They're not invested in the run game like they're invested
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: in the pass game. Is that a fair assessment to make?
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: It certainly seems like it, Vic. When you look at
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: the play sheet and all the smoke that comes out
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: of these guys' brains, what do they take great pleasure in?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: What?
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: In passing plays.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: In throwing the ball down the field and looking good.
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: When it comes down to it, football still remains a
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: Can I move you out of the way? Can I
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: make you miss me?
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: That's what it is.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: Listen, the only reason Kansas City won last night, you
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: missed them. You couldn't tackle them. They moved you out
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: of the way. They didn't wow you.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: With, oh, my God, look at that pass over there.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: There was no razzle dazzle. No, it wasn't Mahomes.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Firing a dart between two different defenders. Just one quick thing, Moj,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: on the training camp thing.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: When you're watching, and it's 11 on 11, if— Sertan
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: or Moss or Hufanga or somebody goes up and makes
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: a great PBU.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Crowd goes insane.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: No, no, no. Forget the crowd.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: The team. The team goes insane.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: It's hooting and hollering. It's whoo, this, that. Did you
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: hear that once during run plays during camp? Was there
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: a hoot nor holler to hear?
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: There was neither a hoot nor a holler to be heard.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: But what I am stunned by this morning is, again,
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: every human being that knows football... The least bit knew
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: exactly what Kansas City intended to do today. Last night.
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: They knew the game plan.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Everybody.
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: Again, Khalil Benson. Did you guys, by the way, did
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: you know Khalil Benson's numbers last night? We talked so
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: much about this young rookie free agent pickup, right? He
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: wasn't even drafted. Did you know what he did last night?
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: Take a look at his numbers and tell me.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't think he gave up a sack.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: This is Khalil... Well, he didn't have to do anything.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: He just showed up.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: He did take a penalty.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Last night, Khalil Benson, 32 pass-blocking snaps, one pressure allowed,
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: and excellent in the run game. He didn't have to
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: do anything.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: You know why?
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: Because they ran the ball.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: What's so demoralizing to me about that, Vic, that's the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: point I was going to make before you jumped on
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: in there.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Before I went hooting or hollering.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Hooting or hollering.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Is that we sat here on this program yesterday morning
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and last week and said, you know what Andy Reid's
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: going to do? That old damn football coach, he's going
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: to run it at you. He's going to get physical.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: He's going to smack you right in the face. Ryan
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Harris said it yesterday. He reiterated it.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Ryan Harris said it right now. Andy Reid goes full
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: tackle in training camp.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, Ryan was brilliant yesterday on this program.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: They've got to change.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: We knew that he was going to smack you right
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: in the mouth.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: And if we knew that, and obviously Ryan played the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: damn game, and.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: He knows the run game pretty well, the Denver Broncos
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: had to know that. And it was so demoralizing. You
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: saw the looks on their faces, Brett.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Because when a guy is across.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: From you, Ryan Harris is looking at you, and he
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: cleans your frigging clock on a run play and.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Blows you out of the gap, blows you out of
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: the play. Dude, that is demoralizing.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Sure it is.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: And they just kept doing it and doing it and
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: doing it and doing it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Moj, the Broncos don't win Super Bowl 50 without a
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: run game and a commitment to it. Do you remember
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: how many times C.J. Anderson broke loose in big plays, right?
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: Off-tackle plays to set up play action for Peyton Manning?
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: And everybody's going to look at that season and say, well,
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: you know, Peyton was the quarterback. They were a passing team. No,
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: they weren't.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: No, they were not.
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: They were not. They were a balanced team.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: This team is not committed to the run game. It
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: hasn't been. And until you show me you're committed to it,
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to believe you anymore.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: All it took was one first game of the season.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to believe you. Switch play callers.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: It doesn't matter. It's how you practice it. It's how
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: you view it. It's how you address it during the week.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Vic, you're making a lot of good points today, including
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: seven Patrick Mahomes runs. Well, let's even take those out.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Let's take the Mahomes runs out. Let's just go with
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Walker and Johnson. 31 rushes last night for Kansas City.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: As opposed to 27 passes. When was the last time
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos ran the ball more than they passed it?
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: In a game?
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: No, at home for fun.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: That's just stupid specific.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: Today?
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I'm dead serious.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: You're such an idiot.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: When was the last time they had more rushing attempts
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: than passing attempts in.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: A football game?
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: When?
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, last night, it was like twice as many
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: passing plays as rush plays.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: I don't think they did it once last year.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Takeaway Mahomes scrambles last night, and they still ran.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: The ball more than they passed the ball.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: When was it?
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I thought you had the answer. No,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: that was rhetorical. Help me. I'm looking for help here.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: I had a great point to make, and my stupid
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: reaction to that question made me forget the point I
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: was going to make.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: In a game?
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: We were talking about the run game, right? What were
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: we talking about just now? The run game. Now I've
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: forgotten it entirely. You guys just completely screwed me up.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Google is telling me it was Christmas Day of 2025,
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: a 31-24 win against KC. Okay, so they ran the
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: ball more that day. So last Christmas?
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: So was that the game? Wait, yeah, that was the
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: game where the Chiefs had the third-string quarterback. I'm not
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: talking about more yards or anything. I'm talking about just
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: a commitment to run the ball.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about when you call more running plays than
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: pass plays in a game.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, it was close. It wasn't quite. 38 pass attempts,
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: 32 runs.
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: So it wasn't even that game.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: No, they had more rushing yards. I bet what you're
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: looking up is more rushing yards.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: Here's what else is.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Google's wrong.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: You're not going to find it. Here's what else got
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: me last night, and tell me if I should be
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: concerned about this. Here's what else got me. One quarterback
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: is coming off an ACL nine months ago. A pretty
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: devastating knee injury. The other quarterback is coming off an
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: injury of his own. Ankle surgery. One quarterback ran the
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: ball for 23 yards, seven times, including a touchdown. Why
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: isn't Bo ever running the ball in situations like third
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: and one and Maybe you need a QB sneak or
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: a QB draw. And I heard last night Aikman say
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: this on the broadcast. Or maybe it was Peyton on
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: the Manning cast. Somebody said, well, you know, he's coming
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: off an injury. You don't want to test it. Mahomes
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: tested his. Mahomes is just waddling out there. He's running.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Did you see his scramble when they did the reverse cam?
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: He literally went like this on his knees, like was
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: jumping back and forth.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: You mean when he's touching the back of his offensive lineman?
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: You know, one of the reasons you got Bo Nix
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: is because he can move. He's fast. Why are they
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: not ever utilizing his legs?
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Why? I don't know. By the way, Moshe, the answer
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: to your question was the last regular season game of
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: Why is it considered... So what happens?
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Does it happen once a season?
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: Is it like my mom's couch that has plastic on it? Mom,
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: why do you have this couch here if nobody's allowed
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: to sit on it?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Why is this couch here?
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: If I can't sit on the couch, what's it for?
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: For looks?
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: So you have a quarterback who's got legs that can run.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: And you never run him.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: But Vic, here's the way I'd put it. Yes, I
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: would like to see that more. I would. Just run
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: it in general. Like, third in inches. Empty backfield?
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Empty.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Like, not even the threat of a run to the defense.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: That makes zero sense.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: Zero.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: And it's not like you're lighting up the world through
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: the air.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: So it just.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: There's so many things from last night and... You know,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: talked a lot about the defense and missing tackles and
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: this and that. Okay, fine. What last night was supposed
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: to be was the ushering in of a brand new
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: era of Broncos offensive football. And what's really disappointing is
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: it looked... All of the things that Sean Payton was
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: criticized for the last three years of the negatives to
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: his offensive style, we'll call it, were almost magnified last night.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: You're taking delay of game penalties on third and two
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: because he can't get the play call in on time.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: You're taking a run-pass ratio of 6-17 in the first
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: half of a 7-7 football game. You ran your feature
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: back three times in the first half.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: You committed.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Four three-and-outs on the first six drives of the game.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: All the things that we talked about that these need
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: to be different now with somebody else in charge were
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: just highlighting the worst aspects.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: No, you regressed.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: You regressed from even where you were when those were issues.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: You know, it's funny because we were coming into this
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: show and I thought today was all going to be
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: about missed tackles. That was the keynote, right? And I
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: get it. But the more we talk, the more we converse,
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: the more we can exchange information. It comes back to
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: that offense again and the lack of, I don't know, production.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: I don't want to say lack of ingenuity or creativity
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: because they have one of the greatest play callers of
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: all time. That's a fact in Sean Payton, who gave
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: way to Davis Webb. And I don't want to hear,
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: here's the thing, I don't want to hear you talk
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: about a run game or balance in the offense anymore.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: I don't want to hear it at halftime.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: He said it at halftime. We need a more balanced attack.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: Until you prove to me you are willing to commit
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: and invest in the run game, until you show it,
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: it's all talk.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I'm watching up on the four-letter right now, though. So,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: in all, the Kansas City Chiefs broke 19.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Tackles last night.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: 11 by Kenneth Walker himself. The Broncos, as a team,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: had six broken tackles. I mean, you knew it was coming.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: You knew that the freight train, Andy Reid, put all
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: the coal in the coal bin on his freight train.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: But that's, just quickly here.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: You knew what was going to happen.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: I saw somebody mention this on the text line about
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: 10 minutes ago, and I just disagree. I disagree with this.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: That Kansas City whipped you physically.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I didn't see.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: The Broncos' defensive line being moved backwards.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: They just couldn't tackle.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: They couldn't tackle.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: They looked like they were playing with syrup.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: When you're making point of contact at the line of scrimmage,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: that's what's supposed to be happening. You're doing a good job.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: You aren't finishing the play. That's the problem. How about this, Vic?
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: You get to the rim. Make your defender miss, you
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: get to the rim, but you don't finish the layup. Moj, it's, hey,
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: you make a great pass, stretch pass, to get a
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: guy one-on-one with the goalie. Don't finish the goal.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: It's that stuff.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: Brett, it's like the entire team had feet on their
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: hands last night. Like, Bo couldn't hold the ball, and
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: guys couldn't tackle. Instead of hands, they had feet.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. Well, and sometimes, Vic, they didn't have arms.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Rasheed Rice's touchdown. Jonah Ellis was like, how about a
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: shoulder 15 yards away from the sideline? Is that going
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: to do anything? Oh, no, just bounce off and then
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: waltz in the end zone? I was blown away. So,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: a lot more to get to. We'll talk to Adam
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Schefter at 920. Oh, by the way, next.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Or as Vic might call it, for your information.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Hang on a second. I know this is, oh, by
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: the way, we can do some other stories. It's fine,
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: but I pulled up the highlight tape of this game, Vic.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: It's remarkable, just looking back to some of this.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: I want to see the L-22.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Third and one. They go empty backfield. There's five guys
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: split out. Third and one.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: Third and one, what was the score at that point?
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Was it 14-7? It was 7-7. It was 7-7.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: That was the first half, right?
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: They're driving right to left on your television screen. Correct.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, why not stack and run it right up
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the center's tailpipe?
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: All right, so here you go. Yeah, 7-7. There's five
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: minutes left in the game. It's third and one. And look,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: the TV screen is showing about 15 yards. Four receivers
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: are out of frame on third down.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: Well, first of all, they go empty. They go empty.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: All right? They go empty. They send everybody out. So
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: they vacate the backfield.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: And Troutman runs like a little button hook.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: And everybody else runs more than 15 yards.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Everybody else is vert. I don't know, Vic. What are
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: you doing? I don't know.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: And now I'm looking at some other things. And Mosher,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: the reason why I wanted to do this, oh, by
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: the way, is because I want to see where guys
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: are getting hit. Like, I want to see where the
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: initial contact is made and where the play ends. You
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: watched three plays with me.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: It was at the line of scrimmage on plays that
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: turned into 15, 20-yard gains. That inexcusable. Anyway, if you
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: got one, Moj, go ahead.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, hey, Vic, here's a question for you.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: How many teams have clinched a berth in the postseason
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: in baseball?
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: Well, the Dodgers have and the Yankees. So two? No, three.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Three.
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: Milwaukee, too, right? Yeah.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: There's a couple more. Tampa. Tampa leads the dang American
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: League East.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: And?
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the point. Nobody knows nobody gives a rat's rip.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Are they still partying?
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Have we ever talked less about baseball than we have
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: in the last six months?
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: What do you mean?
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: I've tried my best to talk about baseball all the time.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: But we don't talk about, there's nothing nationally about baseball
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: that we even give a rat's rip about.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I keep an eye on the standings.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: I realize Milwaukee's good and the White Sox have had
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: a resurgent season.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: I get all that stuff, but we don't talk about
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: this at all. What do you want me to do? Well,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: it's just weird that you.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Have a national sport and we literally spend not one
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: second a.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Week on it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: That's not true.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, your little appetizer hour. You play tickle fight with
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: the seam heads.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: You talked about the Dodgers. You talked about the Rockies.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: I give you my two minutes of baseball every day.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: Will, let's talk about it in a negative form. It's
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: never anything positive.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Let me confess, Brett.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: It's also not true. I don't want to talk baseball.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: I don't even care. I don't even care. I'm telling you.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I do. I don't know. What do you want
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: me to say? I do care.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Anyway, five teams have clinched. Tampa, the Yankees, Milwaukee, the Dodgers,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: and somebody else, I think. Okay.
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: Oh, by the way, I'm going back to the Broncos.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: Thanks for your baseball. Going back to the Broncos. How
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: would you characterize the Broncos offense in the AFC championship game?
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: What would you call it?
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Junk.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was bad. Okay.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: Did you know the Broncos in the AFC Championship game
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: in a winter squall in a near blizzard produced more
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: yards of offense in that game than they did last night?
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I think in that game it was, what, 183? Last
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: night they had 176 yards, the fewest ever in a
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Sean Payton Broncos game.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: Offense.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Ever.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: What was the title game?
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: 183?
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Something like that?
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: I just know they produced more in that game where
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: everything was stacked against the offense.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Hold on now.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to find it. Now you've got my curiosity kicking.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: I think it had to be like.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: They produced 181 yards. 181.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: I was so close.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: So close.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: They had less first downs also yesterday than they did
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: So you're.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Telling me in an ugly crap game where Mother Nature
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: unleashed her wrath, they had more first downs and yards
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: in that game than they did on Monday Night Friggin'
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Football against Mahomes on national television.
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: With everybody healthy.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: With everybody healthy. That's insane.
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: Probably the only time this year that you'll have a
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: healthy roster.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, by the way, who's the coach at Virginia Tech?
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's... The former Penn State guy.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: James Franklin.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: James Franklin. Yes.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: James Franklin has always been sort of a weird guy.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: This one is very odd. He's doing his press conference yesterday.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: And this interaction takes place.
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: We'll start with Michael, please.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Hey, Coach.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Michael Howes with the Baltimore Sun. Hey, Michael.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: Hey, Michael.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: What do you remember about working alongside?
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: Michael, how you doing?
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Can you hear me? Yeah, I'm saying how you doing?
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: Good, how are you?
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: Good, good. See, when you let Zoom take over these
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: press conferences, that was obviously a Zoom thing, right? It
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: was Zoom. It was muted or whatever. Just hilarity ensues.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: It's so stupid.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Well, no, here's the deal. He heard him. He just
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: wanted him to say how he was doing.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Here's what happened. So Virginia Tech, they started the year 2-0.
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: So good.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Here is Michael, whoever this guy was, Michael. Evan? Michael
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: said he thought his Zoom was glitching, so he just
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: kept kind of trying to power through it. And James
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Franklin was being a weirdo that demanded he acknowledge the hello.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, Michael. What do you remember about working alone?
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: Hey, Michael.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: What do you remember about working alone?
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: Hey, Michael.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: How you doing, Michael? Michael, how you doing?
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Evan, Evan, Evan.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Can you hear me? Yeah, I'm saying how you doing? Good,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: how are you? Good, good.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: Why did he do that?
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but it's awesome.
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: It's absolutely fantastic.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Should we do that to Schefter when he comes up
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: with us?
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Hi, Adam. Hi, Adam. Hi, Adam.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Hi, Adam. But yeah, James Franklin being a little bit
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: of a weirdo. How about that?
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, by the way, the.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Clippers and Raptors trade officially is done now.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Finally.
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: Finally.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: They've agreed it's the same thing that they agreed upon
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: before all the investigation stuff. It's Kawhi to the Raptors
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: for Brandon Ingram, Grady Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: first-round pick swap, and two second-rounders, which again leads me
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: to tell you this. What was the punishment for the Clippers?
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Was it five first-round picks?
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: They're getting two back, unprotected. They're getting one swap, which
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: does that still count as a swap? If those are vacant,
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know. And two second rounders. Now that punishment
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: doesn't seem so strict, does it? Because I get it
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: that they would have that as extra ones had he
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: not been punished, but you're still getting picks in return.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Hey, Vic.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, did you see in regards to that,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: the comments of one Danilo Gallinari?
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: I was going to mention that as a corollary to
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: that story.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: He absolutely excoriated Kawhi Leonard.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: They're not fond of one another, apparently.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: No, they are not. And it says he ruined his career. Well,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't know.
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: Listen, Danilo is yelling at Kawhi. Don't blame the player.
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: Blame the system. That's a system problem.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Hang on a second. I heard PhD talking about this yesterday,
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: and Palembas was saying, I don't blame Kawhi at all,
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: or Kawhi is not at fault in this. Yeah, he is.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question. I get that everybody's
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: trying to make the most money they can make. And
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: Kawhi's made a ton of it. He knew that this
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: was against the rules. He can say he didn't all
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: he wants to. He knew it because he knew his uncle,
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: who is his agent, was doing some shady things to
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: get more money. And in doing so, you know you're
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: putting your team at risk.
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: And let's not forget some of the other stuff that
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: was going on behind the scenes in L.A. When Paul
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: George and Kawhi were teammates, do you remember? The story
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: came up. They had their own private dressing room. They
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: had their own private training staff, their own masseuse and
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: all that. They were treated separate from the rest of
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: the team. They were like everybody else was beneath them.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: The league should have made him stay. The league should
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: have nullified the trade and made him stay in Los Angeles.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Sit in your soil. Yep. That's a big missed opportunity
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Now, the Pablo Torre investigation, I think the reason why
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: they didn't... I guess the only way that Ballmer could
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: sue was... Something about having it go through the players' union,
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: and once Kawhi agreed to his punishment, he couldn't do
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: that anymore.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: That is correct.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: And so that let Kawhi pretty much off the hook
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: with a little bit of a fine.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Only the NBA PA can ask for the arbitration or whatever, right?
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: That's what it is.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, Todd Monken told reporters that Deshaun
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: Watson is expected to start on Sunday. Based on his
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: film review in which he said, quote, he did a
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: lot of good things....
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: In which I would reply, such as?
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Who's a reporter in Cleveland? Mary Kay Cabot is one
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: of them, right? She's been there forever. Yeah, follow up.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Like what? Yeah, but you can't be flippant. I mean,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: you're not going to be flippant.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: But how can you ask that question to get him
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: to say, can you point to a specific thing that
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: you would say I watched in film and he did well?
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the team that you're going to be The
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: team they played is the team you're going to be
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: facing this week at home for the Broncos. I mean,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars saw Lawrence throw four touchdowns and put
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: up 34 points on the opening weekend.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: I got a question, Coach Munkin. Have you considered calling
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Drew Brees?
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to Shefty about that in about 20 minutes, right?
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: 25 minutes.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Nelly, you got one for the way out?
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: Oh, by the way, I know you guys aren't fans
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: of talking about baseball, but just quickly, I need your
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: opinion on something. On Labor Day, we had a baseball
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: game that lasted one hour and 51 minutes. The Phillies
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: won that game over the Braves one to nothing, and
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: with the pitch clock era and the game moving so
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: quickly these days, took less than two hours. You a
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: fan of that, or do you want a little more
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: time at the ballpark?
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: That's a little too quick. That's too quick. That's too quick.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: I need my games like they're hovering around like two
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: hours and 30 minutes.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: It's enough time to get yourself a couple of brewskis.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Why is your shoe off?
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I just want to throw my shoe at you.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Nelly.
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: So Vic has thrown both shoes now at Nelly at
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: the glass, and his response to that is, I don't
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: know why. Which, you know what?
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: You throw your shoe at Nelly right now.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: You know what, Nelly?
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: Throw your shoe.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: You want some flips in the mix?
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: Hey, hey.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Hey, Steven.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Why are we doing this? Well, you know. Oh, by
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: the way.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Take out our frustrations on last night, man.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, Adam Schefter in 20 minutes. Take
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: a wrap.
