- 0:04Speaker 2: Listen live every weekday morning from 7 to 10 on

- 0:19Speaker 3: It's a Rally House Football Monday on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Rally House shop every team in town. Ryan Harris is
- 0:24Speaker 3: going to join us in just a couple of minutes.
- 0:26Speaker 4: Vic, let me admit how much of a moron I am.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Please.
- 0:30Speaker 4: Do it. Do it. Do it. Yeah.
- 0:32Speaker 5: So we're talking about the D.C. getting fired first quarter
- 0:37Speaker 5: by the Rams. He said, oh, there's an NBA player
- 0:39Speaker 5: that quit. Yeah, you know who it was, dude?
- 0:43Speaker 3: It came to me.
- 0:43Speaker 4: Oh, Yusuf Nurkic.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Yusuf Nurkic. I was at the frigging game.
- 0:47Speaker 5: Dude, the day that Joker went off in Madison Square Garden,
- 0:53Speaker 5: Yusuf Nurkic quit on the team.
- 0:56Speaker 4: That wasn't the game. It was a home game. You're wrong. No,
- 1:02Speaker 4: you're right.
- 1:02Speaker 5: But I'm saying that's the day he quit on the
- 1:04Speaker 5: team when he realized he was supplanted. And then he
- 1:09Speaker 5: walked off when he was at home.
- 1:10Speaker 4: Yes. All right. If you're going to reference Nikola Jokic,
- 1:12Speaker 4: I want everyone to stop what they're doing. Go to
- 1:14Speaker 4: social media right now and just type in Jokic pass.
- 1:18Speaker 4: And tell me if you will find another pass more
- 1:22Speaker 4: astonishing than the one he showed you last night in
- 1:25Speaker 4: preseason opener against Utah. Again, it's a meaningless game. Nuggets lost.
- 1:31Speaker 6: Nobody cares.
- 1:32Speaker 4: There's a lot of things we could talk about during
- 1:34Speaker 4: that game. But tell me that pass isn't already the
- 1:37Speaker 4: best pass of the year.
- 1:38Speaker 3: It was the best play made in Boulder over the weekend.
- 1:40Speaker 3: That's for sure.
- 1:41Speaker 5: How do you stand on the baseline in the far
- 1:45Speaker 5: corner and then sling it behind your back to the
- 1:50Speaker 5: other side?
- 1:51Speaker 3: How do you do that? Well, now that I see
- 1:54Speaker 3: him on screen, let's do this.
- 1:56Speaker 6: Look who it is.
- 1:57Speaker 1: He's a Super Bowl champion.
- 1:59Speaker 6: You got to fight for your right to Lombardi?
- 2:02Speaker 1: Common sense guru.
- 2:04Speaker 6: It's what Scott Hastings says, keep it simple, student.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Altitude Sports Radio alum.
- 2:09Speaker 6: This is the best dang sports station in the city,
- 2:11Speaker 6: and it ain't even close.

- 2:20Speaker 6: No job too small.
- 2:23Speaker 3: That man right there, Ryan Harris, joins us on the
- 2:25Speaker 3: Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident, you need Ramos Law. Medical
- 2:28Speaker 3: doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com. Ryan, always good to talk to you, buddy.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Let's start here. Are the Broncos capable of being an
- 2:36Speaker 3: effective team slash offense without a good running game?
- 2:45Speaker 6: Right.
- 2:46Speaker 7: I mean, that's something where you can't, you can't, You
- 2:50Speaker 7: cannot be a productive offense without running the football early
- 2:53Speaker 7: and often and instilling the fear in the defense when
- 2:56Speaker 7: they run the ball.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Well, on top of that, you look at some of
- 3:00Speaker 3: the situations. Here's what's funny about the Broncos game. None
- 3:02Speaker 3: of that looked a lot different from the previous weeks.
- 3:05Speaker 3: You just didn't have the fourth quarter comeback. But now
- 3:08Speaker 3: you might be without Sertan and Moss for a couple
- 3:10Speaker 3: of weeks.
- 3:10Speaker 4: How do you handle that?
- 3:12Speaker 7: Well, first and foremost, you have to get far more
- 3:15Speaker 7: communication on defense. You got to get some guys sped
- 3:18Speaker 7: up in terms of what they're paying attention to in meetings.
- 3:21Speaker 7: Some of the coaches might have forgotten Chris Abrams, Drain,
- 3:23Speaker 7: and other names like that because they've been only coaching
- 3:26Speaker 7: Pat Sertan and Moss and others. But here's the biggest thing.
- 3:29Speaker 7: This Broncos team learned this week that that that come
- 3:33Speaker 7: from behind heroics cannot be relied on.
- 3:35Speaker 6: Because when you go against a team like the 49ers.
- 3:37Speaker 7: And let's be clear, that score was closer than the
- 3:41Speaker 7: score two weeks ago at any point, right? So, I mean,
- 3:44Speaker 7: it was 3-3, 6-3, 10, and all of a sudden.
- 3:47Speaker 6: Now they win the game.
- 3:49Speaker 7: And so I think more than anything, you learned as
- 3:51Speaker 7: a team that you need to be playing four quarters
- 3:53Speaker 7: of football. It was fun and cute in the first
- 3:55Speaker 7: four games, but that now you have to be able to.
- 3:58Speaker 6: Put one together. Otherwise you'll get beat by a good
- 4:00Speaker 6: team like the 49ers did.
- 4:02Speaker 7: So offense and defense are going to have a sense
- 4:04Speaker 7: of urgency this week in practice that they probably haven't
- 4:06Speaker 7: had all season, if they're being honest.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Ryan, scripted plays to start a game. You've played your
- 4:11Speaker 4: entire career. You've gone through this before. We saw some
- 4:14Speaker 4: Shanahan offenses here just thrive in scripted plays. Why is
- 4:19Speaker 4: the start of these games so slow? Why do they
- 4:22Speaker 4: look so pedestrian to start games?
- 4:26Speaker 7: There's just no urgency, right? There's no, there's no pace.
- 4:29Speaker 7: There's no, uh, you know, everybody's walk into the line
- 4:32Speaker 7: of scrimmage. It's like, they don't, they just are okay
- 4:34Speaker 7: with it not going well. And here's the other thing.
- 4:37Speaker 7: Let's hop on calling the run two, three times in
- 4:39Speaker 7: a row. You get a run on first down and
- 4:43Speaker 7: everybody knows, okay, here comes the play action pass a
- 4:45Speaker 7: second and eight plaques and pass that goes out of bounds. Like,
- 4:47Speaker 7: what are we doing boys? What are we doing here?
- 4:50Speaker 7: So it's play calling it's execution. And I'll tell you,
- 4:54Speaker 7: when I was with Gary Kubiak in Houston, we had
- 4:56Speaker 7: one of these years where he said, look, guys, our
- 4:59Speaker 7: first 15, it's not cutting it.
- 5:01Speaker 6: We're going to throw it out. We're not even going
- 5:02Speaker 6: to do a first 15.
- 5:03Speaker 7: We're going to show you the plays we like and
- 5:05Speaker 7: then we'll get to them. But we're not going to
- 5:06Speaker 7: spend all this time talking about things. We're just going
- 5:08Speaker 7: to go and mess it up. Because what ends up
- 5:10Speaker 7: happening is that if you do that first 15, those
- 5:13Speaker 7: are the plays the guys go to bed thinking about
- 5:15Speaker 7: that night. Well, maybe we need 10 other plays to
- 5:18Speaker 7: win the game that they aren't thinking about.
- 5:20Speaker 6: So whatever the process is, It has to change. It
- 5:23Speaker 6: has to change now.
- 5:24Speaker 4: Ryan, procedure penalties. Why do they keep cropping up?
- 5:28Speaker 1: Why?
- 5:30Speaker 7: Because there's too much. There's too much on the player's plate.
- 5:33Speaker 7: They're trying to do too much. And they're putting different
- 5:36Speaker 7: players in new positions, right? I mean, there's something to
- 5:39Speaker 7: be said for the team that says, here's our formation.
- 5:42Speaker 7: Try and beat us. Here's what we do out of
- 5:44Speaker 7: this formation. Try and beat us. You know, there's just
- 5:48Speaker 7: not enough of that kind of identity and dictation by
- 5:53Speaker 7: offense or defense on this team right now. But when
- 5:57Speaker 7: you come to that issue, it's something where you've got
- 6:00Speaker 7: to be able to figure this out here the next
- 6:02Speaker 7: week and a half.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Ryan Harris with us, and he always joins us. Thanks

- 6:14Speaker 3: turn to the experts. Going back to the running game,
- 6:18Speaker 3: which one of these is the biggest reason why it's
- 6:21Speaker 3: not working? Is it lack of commitment to the run game?
- 6:24Speaker 3: Is it the blocking in the run game? Is it
- 6:26Speaker 3: the actual play calls? Or is it the horses in
- 6:28Speaker 3: the backfield?
- 6:30Speaker 6: It's a commitment.
- 6:32Speaker 7: Any time your quarterback has three times as many attempts
- 6:38Speaker 7: as you have as a run, running the football, you're
- 6:41Speaker 7: not committed to the run.
- 6:42Speaker 6: It's not three times. I'm being a little exaggerated, but
- 6:44Speaker 6: I mean, what are we.
- 6:45Speaker 5: 42 to.
- 6:45Speaker 7: 2018, 42 to 18, that might actually be about half. So,
- 6:50Speaker 7: you know, no, they're not committed to the run. And
- 6:53Speaker 7: what that means is the defense isn't afraid, right? How
- 6:57Speaker 7: afraid were you when you saw play action pass yesterday,
- 7:00Speaker 7: just watching the game? You know, and it wasn't just
- 7:03Speaker 7: the way that there wasn't success. It's the way that
- 7:06Speaker 7: Greenlaw would point at Coach Payton and say, you know,
- 7:10Speaker 7: you bleeped up cutting me. It's the way that Fred
- 7:13Speaker 7: Warner was tackling and then celebrating. Who was stopping him? Man,
- 7:18Speaker 7: if you're, I mean, that's like getting hit behind the goal, right?
- 7:21Speaker 7: It's like, if you're going to be behind my goalie, you're.
- 7:24Speaker 6: Getting hit too. So it was just a, there was
- 7:26Speaker 6: no fight there.
- 7:28Speaker 7: From the the internal part of being a professional athlete
- 7:32Speaker 7: and it started to with the commitment to the run
- 7:34Speaker 7: game you have got to have both your backs and
- 7:37Speaker 7: double digit carries if you can and if not what's
- 7:40Speaker 7: wrong with feeding rj rj harvey you know so you
- 7:44Speaker 7: gotta feed the horses you have you gotta play the
- 7:46Speaker 7: game you're in and look at a team that did
- 7:48Speaker 7: that no no better yesterday than the dallas cowboys i
- 7:52Speaker 7: mean they're down coming into that third quarter and giovante.
- 7:55Speaker 6: Williams Wish you had him?
- 7:56Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 7:57Speaker 7: But he was running the ball. And where the Dallas
- 7:59Speaker 7: Cowboys got well was in five plays, four of their
- 8:02Speaker 7: plays were runs. And, yeah, they threw a play-action pass.
- 8:05Speaker 7: You can't run once, pass twice, and then be like, oh, guys,
- 8:08Speaker 7: look out for this play-action pass.
- 8:09Speaker 6: Yeah, right, man. Come on.
- 8:11Speaker 4: You said it right there. I was going to bring
- 8:13Speaker 4: up this point. The very first series, first and ten,
- 8:16Speaker 4: wide receiver screen to Waddle for three yards. Their second
- 8:19Speaker 4: play was a play-action boot. And, basically, I'm thinking to myself,
- 8:25Speaker 4: Who are you fooling? You haven't run the ball yet.
- 8:28Speaker 4: I mean, how can you run play action boot if
- 8:31Speaker 4: you haven't set up the run? It's like backwards.
- 8:33Speaker 1: It made no sense to me.
- 8:36Speaker 7: It's like inbounding the ball going the other way. You know,
- 8:40Speaker 7: it just doesn't it doesn't make sense. And again, if
- 8:43Speaker 7: I if these defensive players don't know what I look
- 8:46Speaker 7: like running out to hit them in the face, they're
- 8:48Speaker 7: definitely they're going to force me to show that first.
- 8:52Speaker 7: And that's one of the things that I think the
- 8:53Speaker 7: 49ers did an excellent job of. Show us you're committed
- 8:56Speaker 7: to the run. Show us you can get somebody other
- 8:59Speaker 7: than Cortland Sutton going. Show us that Bo Nix can
- 9:02Speaker 7: be patient for four quarters. And really, the Broncos couldn't
- 9:05Speaker 7: do it, right? And that's going to keep happening. Now
- 9:07Speaker 7: you're at this kind of threshold mark. Four weeks in
- 9:11Speaker 7: the NFL. Everybody's got film on you. You have tendencies now,
- 9:14Speaker 7: whether you like them or not. Even you, Moj, you
- 9:16Speaker 7: have a tendency where you watch the game and how
- 9:18Speaker 7: you throw the remote, all those things. And so now
- 9:21Speaker 7: teams are going to continue to say, prove it to us,
- 9:24Speaker 7: because we don't think you want to run the ball.
- 9:26Speaker 7: We don't think you want to stay on sides, and
- 9:28Speaker 7: we think we're going to be able to win this game.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Ryan, I think what startled me a little bit is
- 9:31Speaker 5: that the 49ers said, you know what? We're just going
- 9:35Speaker 5: to bash the ball in your face. We're just going
- 9:37Speaker 5: to run it right at you. And sometimes they did,
- 9:39Speaker 5: and sometimes they didn't, but they just said, let's square up.
- 9:43Speaker 5: And this is a team with all kinds of offensive weapons,
- 9:46Speaker 5: but hand the ball to McCaffrey, and right between, the
- 9:49Speaker 5: receivers were hurt.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Agreed, agreed.
- 9:51Speaker 5: But they were committed to smash. I mean, they're like,
- 9:53Speaker 5: we'll slog it out the entire game if you want to.
- 9:56Speaker 5: And that's exactly what happened.
- 9:57Speaker 3: And I guess... the Broncos can't do that the other
- 10:01Speaker 3: way is the problem.
- 10:03Speaker 5: The Niners can do that, but the Broncos can't do
- 10:05Speaker 5: it the other way with their offense.
- 10:08Speaker 7: Well, and think about the types of runs that were
- 10:11Speaker 7: called by San Francisco, right? You have a pitch where
- 10:14Speaker 7: McCaffrey's looking like he's going wide, but then he comes
- 10:16Speaker 7: right down the hill, and there's a backside tight end
- 10:19Speaker 7: wiping away.
- 10:19Speaker 6: You had a frontside zone play that looked like Terrell
- 10:22Speaker 6: Davis was back there. You had a cutback.
- 10:26Speaker 7: And by the way, that young man, Black, from Indiana,
- 10:29Speaker 7: that's a heck of a player now, that backup running
- 10:32Speaker 7: back they had. But they're just willing to run the
- 10:35Speaker 7: ball so many different ways. They're flipping formations. They're adding
- 10:38Speaker 7: tight ends. And they're just committed to it. And the
- 10:41Speaker 7: Broncos are only running the ball to set up the pass.
- 10:44Speaker 7: That's what we've seen. That's what's been demonstrated. And that's
- 10:46Speaker 7: what has to change if they want to be successful.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Ryan Harris with us. And on that subject, you know,
- 10:51Speaker 3: you bring in Jalen Waddell in the offseason. You spend
- 10:53Speaker 3: this first-round pick to bring him here. And my thought was, man,
- 10:56Speaker 3: this is great. This should free up Cortland Sutton to
- 10:59Speaker 3: get more one-on-one opportunities. He's averaging two catches a game.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Why can't they get him the football?
- 11:06Speaker 7: He is somebody who needs a lot of space and
- 11:08Speaker 7: you need a lot of time to develop those routes.
- 11:12Speaker 7: And for even his touchdown, I mean, that was such
- 11:15Speaker 7: an awesome route. But man, you got to do a
- 11:18Speaker 7: lot of work flying outside, curling back underneath. it's just
- 11:22Speaker 7: hard to get a player who they know you want
- 11:24Speaker 7: to get the ball to.
- 11:25Speaker 6: It's hard to get him the ball.
- 11:27Speaker 7: But that's where Coach Payton has to be and Davis
- 11:30Speaker 7: Webb have to be more creative in the formations.
- 11:32Speaker 6: Maybe you're motioning him across.
- 11:34Speaker 7: Maybe you're starting him in the slot, putting him– attach
- 11:37Speaker 7: him as a tight end if that's going to get
- 11:38Speaker 7: him a free release.
- 11:40Speaker 6: And it's also on him.
- 11:41Speaker 7: Look, Jalen Waddell has incredible dynamic ability.
- 11:44Speaker 1: And we– that's a different game.
- 11:49Speaker 6: And it's not his first time that he's bobbled the catch.
- 11:52Speaker 7: So they need to have a mental performance coach talk
- 11:55Speaker 7: to him just to settle down. And you've got to
- 11:58Speaker 7: find ways to get him the ball in the offense
- 12:01Speaker 7: normally instead of trying to force it to make him
- 12:03Speaker 7: happier to think that that's the key to your offense.
- 12:06Speaker 4: Brian, I don't know if you saw after the game,
- 12:08Speaker 4: Dre Greenlaw had to be held back from going after
- 12:11Speaker 4: Sean Payton. He was talking some noise in his face.
- 12:14Speaker 4: Have you ever experienced that before? I mean, I know
- 12:17Speaker 4: you probably didn't have coaches You left with great impressions.
- 12:21Speaker 4: But have you ever seen a player go after a
- 12:22Speaker 4: coach like that?
- 12:25Speaker 7: Well, I will say that's part of the game now. Hey,
- 12:29Speaker 7: you want to say something. You want to make decisions.
- 12:32Speaker 7: You better come. You better win that football game, because
- 12:35Speaker 7: if not, I mean, Coach Payton had plenty of time
- 12:38Speaker 7: to shut Drake Greenlaw up. The offense had plenty of
- 12:41Speaker 7: time to shut Drake Greenlaw up. If after four quarters
- 12:44Speaker 7: of whooping your ass, you don't like what he's saying,
- 12:47Speaker 7: that's a you problem, right?
- 12:50Speaker 6: And there are moments where, you know, you do that.
- 12:52Speaker 7: I'll just say, you know, in my own respectful Notre
- 12:55Speaker 7: Dame way, I was not and still am not, as
- 12:57Speaker 7: anybody may attest, a josh mcdaniel's fan and after we
- 13:01Speaker 7: whooped their tail and i was at the kansas city
- 13:04Speaker 7: chiefs i went over and i shook his head and
- 13:05Speaker 7: i said hey josh good to see you i walked
- 13:08Speaker 7: away hey right so you know you whoop somebody's ass
- 13:12Speaker 7: for four quarters say what you want how about that
- 13:14Speaker 7: you bet.
- 13:14Speaker 3: One one last thing for you ryan um have you
- 13:17Speaker 3: ever forgotten a playbook at a bar like what happened
- 13:21Speaker 3: with cu over the weekend.
- 13:23Speaker 7: Not at a bar, but I did forget it on
- 13:26Speaker 7: the walk-through parking lot, but I ran downstairs because I
- 13:30Speaker 7: noticed it before I hit the.
- 13:32Speaker 6: before I hit the elevator and got that. Thank God.
- 13:35Speaker 6: Cause that's like, I mean, you can get fine big
- 13:36Speaker 6: time now in the NFL for that, but how about boys?
- 13:39Speaker 6: What do we look? Let's talk just real quick.
- 13:41Speaker 3: CSU.
- 13:42Speaker 7: I think I love both those boys. I love more
- 13:44Speaker 7: of saying, Hey, you're done calling plays. And I like
- 13:46Speaker 7: the guy saying I'm done. I mean, when was there
- 13:50Speaker 7: a dispute last when you're on the side of both guys,
- 13:53Speaker 7: like way to go both of you.
- 13:54Speaker 6: I love it.
- 13:55Speaker 3: I love it.
- 13:55Speaker 6: What a day. What a weekend in football.
- 13:57Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that he, He just was like,
- 14:00Speaker 3: I'm leaving then.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Fine.
- 14:02Speaker 6: I'm out.
- 14:03Speaker 4: Hey, you're done going to play.
- 14:04Speaker 3: Okay, I'm leaving.
- 14:05Speaker 6: I mean, that's so awesome.
- 14:08Speaker 7: I mean, it's not awesome for the players, of course,
- 14:10Speaker 7: but it's heightened dysfunction. And I think Jim Mora was
- 14:14Speaker 7: getting away with a little more function than we thought.
- 14:16Speaker 7: But what a role of events between Saturday into Sunday.
- 14:22Speaker 6: Texas Tech came in and wrecked him with the bus.
- 14:25Speaker 3: Ryan, you're the best. We'll talk to you next week.
- 14:26Speaker 6: See you, buddy. See you guys.
- 14:28Speaker 5: Peace.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Brian Harris talks to us every Monday at 8 o'clock.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Did you see that piece of video, though? Fred Warner
- 14:33Speaker 4: grabbing Drake Greenlaw by the shoulder pad and moving him
- 14:36Speaker 4: away from Sean Payton? Yeah, Greenlaw was mad because Payton
- 14:39Speaker 4: didn't contact him. But here's my thing.
- 14:41Speaker 3: Drake Greenlaw.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Yeah, my thing is, Drake, you were, what did you
- 14:45Speaker 4: do as a Bronco? You were. Nothing. You were not
- 14:48Speaker 4: very good.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You were hurt.
- 14:51Speaker 4: What did you expect?
- 14:52Speaker 3: So here's what I saw. Because I wondered the same thing.
- 14:55Speaker 3: I'm like, they paid you a whole bunch of money
- 14:57Speaker 3: and you didn't play. I don't see what you're so
- 14:59Speaker 3: upset about. He said after the game, let's see if
- 15:02Speaker 3: I can pull this up.
- 15:02Speaker 4: He said his agent was notified that he was mad
- 15:06Speaker 4: that Peyton couldn't tell him his stuff.
- 15:07Speaker 5: Yeah, here you go.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Peyton couldn't be man-to-man and call my phone and say
- 15:11Speaker 3: we're going to cut you. That was his big beef.
- 15:14Speaker 3: It wasn't that he got cut. I guess it was
- 15:16Speaker 3: the way that he got cut that Peyton didn't have
- 15:18Speaker 3: a man-to-man conversation with him. which does Peyton have to
- 15:23Speaker 3: do that with every single player on the team?
- 15:24Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Is that the respectful way to do it? Probably. But
- 15:29Speaker 3: I don't know if they were at least a practice
- 15:31Speaker 3: squad guy. Does Peyton need to walk up to that
- 15:33Speaker 3: dude and say, hey, we're going to let you go?
- 15:36Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 15:37Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 15:37Speaker 4: I think you get yourself into this fury, right? And
- 15:41Speaker 4: that's what he was. But hey, man, you didn't come
- 15:44Speaker 4: back to Denver because you didn't deserve to come back
- 15:46Speaker 4: to Denver.
- 15:47Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 15:48Speaker 3: He said it was disrespectful. So 303-504-0925. Back after this,
- 15:52Speaker 3: it's a rally house football Monday, a lot to discuss
- 15:55Speaker 3: this morning. And let's go over to the quarterback of
- 15:58Speaker 3: the Broncos. And I, you know, doing the post game
- 16:01Speaker 3: show last night, Vic, there were questions of, you know,
- 16:04Speaker 3: Sean Payton and Davis Webb. Does he take the play
- 16:07Speaker 3: calling back over? Does he do this and that? And
- 16:10Speaker 3: I'll repeat kind of my thoughts from last night. They
- 16:13Speaker 3: haven't changed. This doesn't look different. Like I don't, I
- 16:19Speaker 3: don't see a difference between Davis Webb's play calling and
- 16:22Speaker 3: Sean Payton's play calling. And we can bellyache all we
- 16:24Speaker 3: want to about it. You know, a lot of people
- 16:26Speaker 3: in the offseason said, this is great. Sean Payton's not
- 16:29Speaker 3: calling plays anymore. And it feels like the same people
- 16:31Speaker 3: are now wanting him to call plays again. There was
- 16:33Speaker 3: never a guarantee that this thing was going to be better.
- 16:35Speaker 3: I just thought that you would at least have it
- 16:38Speaker 3: look a little bit different. It doesn't. And how much
- 16:41Speaker 3: of that has to do with Bo Nix?
- 16:43Speaker 4: He was not very accurate yesterday. He made it look hard.
- 16:47Speaker 4: I'm a little troubled by what Melanie Collins reported. The
- 16:50Speaker 4: sideline reporter said that she was told that Bo was
- 16:55Speaker 4: still experiencing some swelling in his ankles.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Especially after flights.
- 17:00Speaker 4: Now, that's nothing big time. Doesn't look like it's affecting
- 17:03Speaker 4: him big time. But how would he offer that information?
- 17:08Speaker 4: Why would you offer that information?
- 17:10Speaker 3: What prompted her to be told that?
- 17:12Speaker 4: Exactly. What would lead to Ankles, if it's not an issue,
- 17:16Speaker 4: why does it come up?
- 17:17Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 17:18Speaker 4: But you tell me, Moj, did he look especially accurate?
- 17:23Speaker 4: Did he look confident? No, but at the same time,
- 17:27Speaker 4: his legs looked fine.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Sure.
- 17:29Speaker 5: I mean, he looks the part. No, he was not
- 17:32Speaker 5: especially accurate. You were talking about Corlin Sutton.
- 17:36Speaker 3: I don't get it.
- 17:37Speaker 5: There were a couple of plays, though, where Sutton presented
- 17:39Speaker 5: himself nicely in the route, and he was just missed
- 17:42Speaker 5: by Knicks.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Vic, he just missed. Missed him.
- 17:46Speaker 3: Just missed him.
- 17:47Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 17:48Speaker 5: And so, again, this is Groundhog Day, Brett. Every single week,
- 17:56Speaker 5: it's the same damn thing every single time.
- 17:59Speaker 4: Can I tell you what Bo Nix is right now?
- 18:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:02Speaker 4: You know what?
- 18:03Speaker 3: Let's get down to brass tacks here.
- 18:05Speaker 4: Yes. This is what Bo Nix is to the Broncos.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Not to me. Not to you. Not to the listeners.
- 18:11Speaker 4: This is what Bo Nix is to the Broncos. 14
- 18:14Speaker 4: minutes left in the game. You're down 10-3. It's fourth
- 18:18Speaker 4: and two from the 22-yard line. If you look at
- 18:22Speaker 4: the analytics, fourth and two from the 22, I want
- 18:25Speaker 4: you to look at the analytics because I keep getting
- 18:27Speaker 4: stuff down my throat, these analytics. Most would tell you,
- 18:30Speaker 4: you go for it there. Fourth and two from the 22.
- 18:33Speaker 4: They decided to kick the field goal. At that point,
- 18:38Speaker 4: I wrote in my notes, zero faith in this offense.
- 18:41Speaker 4: Not that they had it before, but zero faith. True.
- 18:44Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:44Speaker 4: You think Josh Allen goes for it there? Oh, I'm
- 18:47Speaker 4: sure he does.
- 18:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:48Speaker 4: Pat Mahomes go for it there?
- 18:49Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Brock Purdy.
- 18:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 18:51Speaker 3: Go for it there. Yeah.
- 18:52Speaker 4: Matt Stafford go for it there?
- 18:53Speaker 3: Yeah. The Niners tried to run a sneak on fourth
- 18:57Speaker 3: and two.
- 18:59Speaker 4: Again, I'm not saying if the decision is good or
- 19:02Speaker 4: bad because they did come back and get the two-point conversion,
- 19:05Speaker 4: cut it to three. I'm not talking about the numbers.
- 19:07Speaker 4: I'm talking about faith in your offense. I'm talking about
- 19:10Speaker 4: do you believe you can get two yards– and find
- 19:14Speaker 4: the end zone. Because if you kick the field goal there,
- 19:17Speaker 4: you're still down in the game. It doesn't do anything
- 19:20Speaker 4: for you. In my humble opinion, that was a go
- 19:23Speaker 4: for it situation all day, every day, just to kickstart
- 19:26Speaker 4: the offense.
- 19:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 19:27Speaker 4: Just to get some confidence in the office.
- 19:29Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 19:30Speaker 4: That's all you need to know.
- 19:33Speaker 5: And so after that, immediately, immediately after that, what happens?
- 19:38Speaker 4: Well, and this is where I cannot blame the defense.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Here's what happens. Uh, The San Francisco 49ers get the
- 19:45Speaker 4: ball back, and they drive at the length of the
- 19:48Speaker 4: field and score to make it 17-6. That's exactly right.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Exactly right.
- 19:54Speaker 5: And I can't, Vic, I can't blame it on the
- 19:56Speaker 5: defense because I'm watching that defense play, Brett, through, I mean, honestly,
- 20:01Speaker 5: through three quarters of football, you're holding the 49ers, one
- 20:05Speaker 5: of the highest scoring.
- 20:06Speaker 4: Teams in the league, to 10 points. You're doing your job.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Are you not? Yeah.
- 20:13Speaker 4: You're doing your damn job.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Yep.
- 20:16Speaker 5: And I'm looking at the defense, Vic, and I'm going,
- 20:18Speaker 5: this is a Super Bowl caliber defense. And they do
- 20:23Speaker 5: Super Bowl caliber defense things almost every damn week. Week
- 20:27Speaker 5: one aside, when they didn't tackle, that's okay.
- 20:29Speaker 3: But they were there.
- 20:30Speaker 4: We pointed out that on the plays, they hit their spot.
- 20:33Speaker 5: Yep.
- 20:34Speaker 3: They got to where they needed to get to.
- 20:35Speaker 5: They just didn't tackle. And I can't blame these guys
- 20:40Speaker 5: when you finally, in that fourth quarter, you give up
- 20:43Speaker 5: a couple of touches. Well, of course you did, man.
- 20:45Speaker 5: Of course you did.
- 20:46Speaker 3: Yeah, we've made this reference a hundred times, but it's
- 20:50Speaker 3: the same thing. The defense is Mark Wahlberg from the departed.
- 20:55Speaker 3: I'm the guy who does his job. You must be
- 20:56Speaker 3: the other guy. Like, that's what it's been. But here's
- 21:00Speaker 3: a legitimate question.
- 21:00Speaker 4: For you guys.
- 21:01Speaker 3: By the way, would he.
- 21:03Speaker 4: When Damon walks in the door, and he's there all
- 21:06Speaker 4: dressed up in his white outfit, awesome.
- 21:08Speaker 3: Here's a legitimate question for you guys. Surrounding Bo Nix,
- 21:14Speaker 3: you want to talk about Groundhog Day and everything being
- 21:16Speaker 3: the same, Moj. Bo Nix, I just looked this up,
- 21:20Speaker 3: in his career, for the first four games, is exactly
- 21:24Speaker 3: what we're seeing. In his career, he has 13 touchdowns
- 21:28Speaker 3: to 11 picks in games one through four. Games five
- 21:32Speaker 3: through eight, he has 15-2. I've brought this up that
- 21:37Speaker 3: I think both Sean Payton and Bo Nix might just
- 21:40Speaker 3: be really slow starters to the season. That it picks
- 21:43Speaker 3: up as the season goes on.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Well, not October. Have you seen Sean Payton's record in October?
- 21:47Speaker 3: Well, this is what I'm getting at. Do you know
- 21:49Speaker 3: what Bo Nix's numbers are in October? 16 touchdowns and
- 21:53Speaker 3: two picks in his career. Like, maybe the first four
- 21:55Speaker 3: games are just a problem for them for whatever reason.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Yesterday was October. Understood, but it was the fourth game
- 22:02Speaker 3: of the year. There's two different stats.
- 22:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, but it's still October.
- 22:04Speaker 3: There's two different stats. See, here's your problem. There's games
- 22:06Speaker 3: in September.
- 22:07Speaker 4: I'm not sure if you know the month change.
- 22:08Speaker 5: You're trying to fit a square peg into a round
- 22:10Speaker 5: hole with your Septembers and your Game 4s and your Octobers.
- 22:14Speaker 5: And then here's the problem, Brett. When they bleed over
- 22:17Speaker 5: into each other, you've got serious issues.
- 22:19Speaker 3: Look at you. Look at your face. Still, in his career,
- 22:22Speaker 3: he's very good in the month of October.
- 22:24Speaker 4: Well, listen, and bottom line is overall— Hey, let me
- 22:27Speaker 4: finish this for you.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Let me finish this.
- 22:28Speaker 6: Please do.
- 22:29Speaker 3: In games one through four, Bo Nix is bad. Not
- 22:33Speaker 3: a decent quarterback. He's a bad quarterback the first four
- 22:36Speaker 3: games of the season. And then in games five through eight,
- 22:39Speaker 3: he has a 7-1 record with 15 touchdowns and two picks. Like,
- 22:43Speaker 3: all I'm saying is, this also isn't new. This isn't
- 22:48Speaker 3: some brand new, like, oh, you know what? I think
- 22:50Speaker 3: Bo Nix is just not very good. We say that
- 22:52Speaker 3: every year through the first four games. Well, then how
- 22:55Speaker 3: much longer can they continue to get away with it?
- 22:57Speaker 4: Moj, do you think Bo... Wants to be more of
- 23:01Speaker 4: a gunslinger. Or is it this chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick?
- 23:06Speaker 4: What the Russian from that movie said? All day he chick, chick, chick, chick, chick.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Does he want to be a gunslinger or is he
- 23:13Speaker 4: a chick artist? What is he?
- 23:15Speaker 5: He wants to be Doc Holliday.
- 23:17Speaker 4: Okay, he wants to be that. So what's preventing him?
- 23:20Speaker 3: He wants to be Wyatt Earp. Okay, so what's.
- 23:22Speaker 4: Preventing him from that? Why is it chick, chick, chick, chick, chick?
- 23:26Speaker 4: Why is it wide receiver screen, running back screen? Because
- 23:29Speaker 4: he's got this guy.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Why is J.R.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Harvey the leading receiver every week?
- 23:33Speaker 3: RJ, I don't know what just happened there.
- 23:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm having a.
- 23:37Speaker 6: Senior moment?
- 23:38Speaker 3: Yeah, why is that? Oh, let's put him in a home.
- 23:41Speaker 3: It's time.
- 23:41Speaker 4: It's time. Vic, it's because he's got this guy over here.
- 23:46Speaker 4: Look right here.
- 23:46Speaker 5: Look at my hand. This is a guy talking. Sean
- 23:50Speaker 5: Payton is in his ear all week long.
- 23:53Speaker 3: All week. Don't do this. Don't do that. Don't take sacks.
- 23:58Speaker 3: But he's not a chick, chick, chick coach. No, hang on,
- 24:01Speaker 3: hang on. I think Bo Nix is that. I think
- 24:04Speaker 3: Bo Nix is risk averse. I don't think he wants
- 24:09Speaker 3: to be a gunslinger. How many times have you seen
- 24:13Speaker 3: him most throw a ball in a tight window? Voluntarily.
- 24:16Speaker 3: How many times has he done it? Especially early in games.
- 24:19Speaker 3: He doesn't want to make a mistake.
- 24:21Speaker 4: I understand that, but you can see the difference.
- 24:24Speaker 3: You think he's farth?
- 24:25Speaker 5: No, no, but what I'm saying to you is that
- 24:27Speaker 5: when they're down and he's allowed to improvise, that's when
- 24:32Speaker 5: he's at his best.
- 24:34Speaker 3: What?
- 24:35Speaker 5: When he's running around and throwing the pig downfield, that's
- 24:37Speaker 5: when he feels most comfortable.
- 24:39Speaker 4: You can see it in his face. You can see
- 24:41Speaker 4: it in his play. Let me give you an analogy
- 24:43Speaker 4: only you can appreciate.
- 24:45Speaker 5: Right.
- 24:47Speaker 4: I had the opportunity to play the game of golf
- 24:50Speaker 4: with the guy who inspired the movie Top Gun. He
- 24:55Speaker 4: was the inspiration behind Topp. So he was the pilot.
- 24:57Speaker 4: He was the inspiration behind Topp.
- 24:59Speaker 6: All right.
- 25:00Speaker 4: You remember in that movie.
- 25:02Speaker 3: No, not that guy.
- 25:02Speaker 4: You remember in that movie when Maverick couldn't, he just
- 25:07Speaker 4: couldn't go.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Well, no.
- 25:08Speaker 4: He just couldn't do it. He couldn't engage. He could not.
- 25:11Speaker 4: Could not engage. And Viper said keep sending him up.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Correct.
- 25:14Speaker 4: Could not engage. Bo right now cannot engage for whatever reason.
- 25:19Speaker 4: He's not engaging.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're wrong on this, Moj. I don't
- 25:23Speaker 3: think he wants to be a gunslinger.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Why is he not engaging?
- 25:26Speaker 5: Okay, well, Brett, maybe he... Okay, let me rephrase this.
- 25:31Speaker 5: Maybe he doesn't. Maybe he is risk-averse. All I know
- 25:36Speaker 5: is that when I watch him uncork... It's the best
- 25:40Speaker 5: way I can put it. When I watch him improvise
- 25:42Speaker 5: uncork and the reins are off late in games when
- 25:45Speaker 5: he's got to make a comeback, to me, that's when
- 25:48Speaker 5: he plays his best football. That's when he is the
- 25:53Speaker 5: most dynamic. So you explain to me, does he want
- 25:55Speaker 5: to be that? No, but that's when he's most effective.
- 25:57Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. According to you. Here's what I
- 26:01Speaker 3: think Bo Nix is, and I think this is the problem,
- 26:04Speaker 3: especially early in games. I think that as a head coach,
- 26:09Speaker 3: you can... You can emphasize something too much. And what
- 26:15Speaker 3: is the MO of Sean Payton and what he wants
- 26:17Speaker 3: from his quarterbacks? Don't take sacks. Don't throw picks. And
- 26:20Speaker 3: if you say that to somebody over and over and
- 26:22Speaker 3: over again, wow, he bailed out of a clean pocket.
- 26:27Speaker 3: He's been told, don't take a sack. And his internal
- 26:29Speaker 3: clock says, well, I've been in here for three seconds.
- 26:31Speaker 4: I got to bail.
- 26:32Speaker 3: Well, you know what?
- 26:33Speaker 4: You're your own guy though. I mean, at some point
- 26:35Speaker 4: you're the quarterback. It's your, it's your, your ass on
- 26:38Speaker 4: the line.
- 26:38Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on to this point. What happens late
- 26:42Speaker 3: in games? You're down. If you throw a pick when
- 26:45Speaker 3: you're down 14 in the fourth quarter, who cares? You're
- 26:48Speaker 3: trying to come back and win a football game. Throwing
- 26:50Speaker 3: that same throw in the first quarter, if you throw
- 26:53Speaker 3: a pick, now it's a big problem. And I think
- 26:55Speaker 3: that he has that going on in his head. And
- 26:58Speaker 3: here's Bo Nix, by the way. You were just talking
- 27:00Speaker 3: about the fourth and two decision to kick the field goal.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Here's Bo Nix's thoughts on it.
- 27:03Speaker 4: Fourth and two in the second half.
- 27:05Speaker 6: Was there any discussion there at all?
- 27:08Speaker 3: Which one?
- 27:09Speaker 6: Fourth and two. In the second half?
- 27:12Speaker 4: Early in the fourth quarter.
- 27:15Speaker 6: Did we kick a field goal?
- 27:17Speaker 3: Did we make it?
- 27:21Speaker 4: So then when we scored again, we went for two
- 27:23Speaker 4: and made it a three-point game.
- 27:27Speaker 6: Pretty good decision, I'd say.
- 27:29Speaker 4: Well, my follow-up, did you win the game or did
- 27:32Speaker 4: you lose the game? Is this the game we're playing? Hey,
- 27:36Speaker 4: did you win or lose?
- 27:37Speaker 3: He's got it. The same problem that I was talking
- 27:40Speaker 3: about with Prime earlier.
- 27:41Speaker 4: A little snippy.
- 27:41Speaker 3: You can't do that while you lose and look bad.
- 27:46Speaker 3: You can't have this attitude towards it, okay? And here's
- 27:51Speaker 3: what a quarterback should do. And this is why Joker's
- 27:55Speaker 3: just the best. Like, he's the best. Joker could have
- 27:58Speaker 3: a 50-point triple-double, they lose the game, and he goes,
- 28:00Speaker 3: I have to be better. Like, he would just say that,
- 28:02Speaker 3: even if he doesn't believe it. You cannot play the
- 28:04Speaker 3: snarky card when you play bad.
- 28:06Speaker 4: I prefer snippy. It's pretty easy, guys, why you go
- 28:09Speaker 4: for it on fourth and two. And everybody's like, well,
- 28:11Speaker 4: in hindsight, it's easy to say that. I wasn't doing
- 28:14Speaker 4: it in hindsight. What were you guys doing at fourth
- 28:16Speaker 4: and two? I'm just curious. What were you doing? Were
- 28:17Speaker 4: you saying kick or go for it?
- 28:18Speaker 3: I'm saying go for it.
- 28:19Speaker 4: Okay, now tell me why you think it's... My worry
- 28:24Speaker 4: was not the score. My thing was... We have to
- 28:28Speaker 4: get this offense.
- 28:29Speaker 3: You've got to do something. It's an attitude. You've got
- 28:32Speaker 3: to do something.
- 28:33Speaker 4: Show them that you're going to be willing. And guess what?
- 28:36Speaker 4: If you get stopped, you don't deserve to win the game.
- 28:38Speaker 4: How's that?
- 28:39Speaker 3: Agreed.
- 28:39Speaker 4: How's that?
- 28:39Speaker 3: And by the way, you lost anyway. Here's my other thought.
- 28:45Speaker 3: How often are you going to be at the 20-yard line? Honestly,
- 28:48Speaker 3: with how your offense is operating, how many times have
- 28:52Speaker 3: you been that close to the end zone?
- 28:54Speaker 4: Well, let's see. The previous drives before that fourth and two,
- 28:58Speaker 4: let's see what they did. Mims fumbled the punt, so
- 29:02Speaker 4: they didn't get the ball there. Bo misses Sutton on
- 29:05Speaker 4: a three and out.
- 29:06Speaker 3: That was the first time they got to the 20.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Then they go third and five punt. Previous to that,
- 29:12Speaker 4: three and out. Yeah, they didn't cross the 50 until
- 29:16Speaker 4: they got to that point. In the second half.
- 29:18Speaker 3: It's the first time they got to the 20-yard line
- 29:20Speaker 3: all game. And my whole thing is, well, then... capitalize
- 29:25Speaker 3: on it. I did a....
- 29:28Speaker 5: I hung out yesterday for the game at Clubhouse Working
- 29:30Speaker 5: Golf in our old building. Yeah.
- 29:33Speaker 6: Right?
- 29:33Speaker 4: The Galleria. Oh, is it over there?
- 29:35Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 29:35Speaker 3: How's my old place? They're literally in our old studios. Well, no,
- 29:39Speaker 3: the actual.
- 29:40Speaker 5: the Clubhouse Working Golf, the Sims and everything are on
- 29:43Speaker 5: the main floor. B when you walk in B.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Okay? Their offices are up on the 12th. Gotcha.
- 29:49Speaker 5: That being said, somebody asked me, what's Vic doing? I said,
- 29:53Speaker 5: he's sitting there in front of his television and he's
- 29:55Speaker 5: taking copious notes.
- 29:57Speaker 3: About every play. Like, really?
- 29:59Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 30:00Speaker 3: I said, oh, that's exactly what he's doing.
- 30:03Speaker 4: The previous drive on that third and sixth, the tackle
- 30:06Speaker 4: kicked out, and the gap was exposed.
- 30:10Speaker 3: That's what you do. Hey, Moshe, maybe you should do
- 30:13Speaker 3: your job.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you should.
- 30:14Speaker 3: As well as take notes.
- 30:15Speaker 4: Yeah, some of us actually care about our jobs.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Well, I was hanging with— Instead of pounding beers and
- 30:20Speaker 3: hitting things into a simulator.
- 30:22Speaker 4: Hold on a second.
- 30:23Speaker 3: You stop.
- 30:25Speaker 5: I got in a little par three contest, and I
- 30:27Speaker 5: was hitting wedges tight.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I was taking notes. And I was talking to peeps.
- 30:31Speaker 5: Great.
- 30:31Speaker 4: So what happened, Moshe, after they opted to go field goal?
- 30:34Speaker 4: What did the San Francisco 49ers do on the following drive,
- 30:37Speaker 4: the ensuing drive there? Give me a little play-by-play of
- 30:39Speaker 4: what happened.
- 30:40Speaker 3: Wait, after?
- 30:41Speaker 4: Say it again? You don't even know what game you
- 30:42Speaker 4: were watching.
- 30:42Speaker 3: You were half drunk, shanking wedges into the side of
- 30:44Speaker 3: the curtain.
- 30:45Speaker 5: Are you saying after they missed the field goal or
- 30:47Speaker 5: they made the field goal?
- 30:48Speaker 4: After they made the field goal to cut it to 10-6.
- 30:51Speaker 4: What happened then?
- 30:52Speaker 5: The 49ers went on a nine-play drive and drove down
- 30:55Speaker 5: the field and scored a touchdown.
- 30:56Speaker 4: Oh, look at his computer screen.
- 30:58Speaker 3: No, I'm dead.
- 30:58Speaker 4: I asked you earlier.
- 30:59Speaker 3: I've got it right here. Yeah!
- 31:02Speaker 4: Don't you be a fraud.
- 31:03Speaker 3: He's such a fraud. He's such a fraud.
- 31:06Speaker 4: How fraudulent do you have to be?
- 31:08Speaker 5: Nick, I asked you that. Nelly, go find the tape.
- 31:10Speaker 5: I asked you that about that field goal. I said,
- 31:13Speaker 5: what did the Niners do on the next drive? They
- 31:15Speaker 5: went right down the damn field and scored.
- 31:17Speaker 3: You gave me a really high-pitched bomber voice right there.
- 31:20Speaker 3: That just, it screams guilt. Honestly, I'm tired of the accusations.
- 31:24Speaker 4: I will say this. I dare anyone on this radio
- 31:28Speaker 4: show and listening to this radio show, I dare you.
- 31:31Speaker 4: Pick up the phone right now. Pick up the phone
- 31:34Speaker 4: and start dialing. No, no. Here's what I dare you.
- 31:39Speaker 6: 303-504-0925.
- 31:39Speaker 4: I dare you to pick up the phone, call the show,
- 31:44Speaker 4: and put this loss on the Denver defense. But any
- 31:47Speaker 4: portion of this loss on the Denver defense.
- 31:49Speaker 3: Can't do it. You can't do it.
- 31:51Speaker 4: I dare you.
- 31:51Speaker 3: You hate your job.
- 31:52Speaker 4: You pick up the phone.
- 31:54Speaker 3: You start dialing. You do that.
- 31:56Speaker 4: I mean, seriously. If you have anything to say about
- 32:00Speaker 4: the Denver defense, do it.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Can I say two things here on the drive following
- 32:05Speaker 3: the field goal?
- 32:06Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Because I took notes on it. Two things. That was
- 32:11Speaker 3: the first holding call of the game, by the way.
- 32:15Speaker 3: The holding was on Zach Allen, which was interesting.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Yeah, the third and long where they didn't get it,
- 32:19Speaker 4: and all of a sudden.
- 32:20Speaker 6: You're like, all right, the hell.
- 32:20Speaker 3: This is not the reason for why things went the
- 32:23Speaker 3: way they did yesterday. I am pretty amazed that the
- 32:26Speaker 3: Niners were not called for a single holding call because
- 32:28Speaker 3: I saw a bunch of them. And I wrote this down,
- 32:33Speaker 3: Mike Evans. Mike Evans was clearly playing through an injury.
- 32:37Speaker 3: Do you know what Mike Evans did every time he
- 32:39Speaker 3: touched the football last night? He got up and he went, Ow!
- 32:44Speaker 2: Ow!
- 32:45Speaker 3: He was in so much pain all throughout that game.
- 32:49Speaker 4: Again, I challenge you to put any ounce of blame
- 32:53Speaker 4: on the Bronco defense for this loss. Because I'm so
- 32:56Speaker 4: tired of people saying, well, if they would have done... No, no, no, no.
- 33:01Speaker 6: No more.
- 33:02Speaker 5: No more.
- 33:03Speaker 4: The Denver defense played without its top two corners for
- 33:05Speaker 4: the second half of the game, and they were still
- 33:08Speaker 4: in this thing.
- 33:09Speaker 3: Still had a chance. Once again, our student of the
- 33:11Speaker 3: week is Eagle Crest sophomore Haisley Elliott. She threw a
- 33:13Speaker 3: perfect game with 13 strikeouts and also carries a 4.1 GPA.
- 33:18Speaker 3: It's all powered by Mr. Reuter Plumbing, proudly rooting for
- 33:20Speaker 3: Colorado students and athletes.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Have you ever had a 4.1 GPA in your life?
- 33:24Speaker 1: I have.
- 33:26Speaker 3: You liar. Mosher, you're talking to an academic All-American his
- 33:31Speaker 3: freshman year. How's that? What a nerd. Fake.
- 33:35Speaker 6: You're right.
- 33:36Speaker 3: Your boy. Freshman year was an academic All-American. Suck it.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Dork All-American. Back after this.
- 33:47Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely nothing to do with all that. Bye.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Anime, Star Wars, Star Trek.
- 33:52Speaker 2: The toilet suddenly shattered and collapsed beneath them.
- 33:56Speaker 5: Wait.
- 33:56Speaker 4: Are you still driving that Honda?
- 33:57Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, with Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Pay attention and stop looking at that squirrel.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
- 34:08Speaker 3: It's a Rally House Football Monday. Rally House, shop every
- 34:10Speaker 3: team in town.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Moshe, I just want you to know one thing. As
- 34:13Speaker 4: you were peering over my shoulder, I was looking at
- 34:16Speaker 4: my phone. Your breath smells so bad that I nearly
- 34:21Speaker 4: vomited as you were breathing into my ear. You're welcome.
- 34:25Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, it's around stories. Stories around sports
- 34:28Speaker 3: in the world we feel like you should be aware of.
- 34:31Speaker 4: Seriously, you got to, whatever you got in there, take
- 34:33Speaker 4: care of it. Still with Alice.
- 34:45Speaker 3: So if you missed it, Joker made one of the
- 34:48Speaker 3: most amazing passes of his career, but it was in
- 34:50Speaker 3: a preseason game. So nobody cares, but to go behind
- 34:53Speaker 3: the back.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Full baseline, three Utah jazz players, their heads turn, just
- 34:58Speaker 4: look at the ball and go, you know, you could
- 34:59Speaker 4: tell they're going, huh? What do I do with this?
- 35:02Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 35:02Speaker 4: And not only to make that pass across the baseline motion,
- 35:05Speaker 4: he has to throw it underneath the backboard. It's gotta be,
- 35:09Speaker 4: hard and fast enough to reach the other baseline. It's
- 35:12Speaker 4: right in Cam Johnson's shooting pocket, a perfect pass. He
- 35:15Speaker 4: made the shot, and he never touched the ball, if
- 35:18Speaker 4: you watch it, with his left hand. It was all right-handed.
- 35:21Speaker 4: He just went from a dribble to a pass. No look. Brett,
- 35:25Speaker 4: it's one thing to execute it perfectly like he did.
- 35:29Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 35:30Speaker 5: It's another thing to have the Cole Jones to even
- 35:32Speaker 5: try to pull it off.
- 35:34Speaker 3: Behind your... Oh, it's preseason. No, look behind your back
- 35:37Speaker 3: down the.
- 35:37Speaker 4: Right now.
- 35:38Speaker 3: From the entire baseline? Are you kidding me?
- 35:40Speaker 6: Right now.
- 35:42Speaker 3: Oh, that is going to break open for sure. All right,
- 35:45Speaker 3: Vic's trying to go behind his back here. Full length
- 35:48Speaker 3: of the studio. He does so. Yep, nailed it.
- 35:52Speaker 4: Nailed it.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 3: I got one for you. Oh, by the way, refs
- 35:58Speaker 3: are getting a little too much. in the NFL they're
- 36:02Speaker 3: calling too many penalties number one but number two two
- 36:06Speaker 3: different instances from yesterday one of them a ref is
- 36:11Speaker 3: yelling bleep you bleep you to Trey McBride which I
- 36:16Speaker 3: don't think a ref should be allowed to do that
- 36:19Speaker 3: number two there's another ref uh Adrian Hill he got
- 36:24Speaker 3: Ran into unintentionally by Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson. So he's
- 36:29Speaker 3: just like part of the play and then bumps into
- 36:31Speaker 3: the ref, knocks him down. The ref gets up and
- 36:34Speaker 3: starts cursing him out. He wants a piece.
- 36:37Speaker 4: He wants a piece.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Who do you think you are? It's just weird. It's like,
- 36:43Speaker 3: how about you guys all calm down and be a professional?
- 36:46Speaker 5: I love those videos on social where you've got like
- 36:50Speaker 5: a little Yorkie looking at a squirrel.
- 36:53Speaker 6: He's going, you want.
- 36:54Speaker 4: You want a piece of me?
- 36:55Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Cracks me up. That's what that riff was. One other
- 36:59Speaker 3: thing real quick.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Bang! Bang!
- 37:00Speaker 3: Come on, man. Oh, by the way, this was horrifying
- 37:05Speaker 3: to watch. Horrifying. But Chiefs-Raiders, incredible game. The Raiders might
- 37:11Speaker 3: be a really good team. Maybe they are. They almost
- 37:14Speaker 3: beat the Chiefs yesterday. Did you see Tyquan Thornton dislocate
- 37:18Speaker 3: his ankle.
- 37:19Speaker 6: Yes. Oh, my God.
- 37:20Speaker 3: But he didn't know it.
- 37:22Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Got up to celebrate and stepped on it and was like, whoa.
- 37:25Speaker 6: Yeah, he had adrenaline.
- 37:26Speaker 4: It was the wrong way.
- 37:27Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 37:28Speaker 4: I showed that to Jason Richardson and Bill Hanslick in
- 37:30Speaker 4: the postgame show last night, and they both just squirmed
- 37:33Speaker 4: because everybody knows what's going through his, you know, he's
- 37:37Speaker 4: into the game.
- 37:38Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 37:38Speaker 4: The adrenaline rush.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Big play.
- 37:40Speaker 4: You don't feel the ankle just going the other way
- 37:43Speaker 4: until you get up.
- 37:45Speaker 8: But then did you see the next part where one
- 37:46Speaker 8: of his linemen comes over there to check on him?
- 37:49Speaker 8: And so he's lying on the ground, right? The lineman
- 37:51Speaker 8: comes over and taps his chest. And you can see
- 37:53Speaker 8: he's like, you good, big dog?
- 37:55Speaker 3: It's like, no. No, my foot's sideways.
- 37:57Speaker 8: And then he points at his ankle, and the lineman
- 37:59Speaker 8: turns and looks. And then he gets up and, like,
- 38:01Speaker 8: jumps away.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Oh, by the way.
- 38:03Speaker 3: Incidentally, I mean, it happened.
- 38:04Speaker 4: It was a no-contact thing. I mean, it just.
- 38:06Speaker 3: No, it was ugly. He was drug on. Oh, he was?
- 38:09Speaker 3: It was when he got tackled.
- 38:10Speaker 4: Oh, I thought it was when he caught the ball
- 38:11Speaker 4: that hit the ground. Oh, no, no. He got drug on.
- 38:13Speaker 6: Oh, my bad. Okay.
- 38:14Speaker 4: Oh, by the way. Who's the most fearsome closer in baseball?
- 38:19Speaker 4: Who's the guy who just shuts it down?
- 38:21Speaker 5: Who is he?
- 38:22Speaker 3: Mason Miller. Well, he's a setup guy.
- 38:24Speaker 4: All right. Did you see what happened to Mason Miller
- 38:26Speaker 4: last night?
- 38:27Speaker 5: Did you happen to pay attention to Milwaukee?
- 38:29Speaker 4: I saw the walk-off, yeah. Did you see Mason Miller
- 38:33Speaker 4: all of a sudden lose his strike zone? He couldn't
- 38:35Speaker 4: find the strike zone, started walking people in that ninth inning,
- 38:38Speaker 4: couldn't get the ball across, and boom, just like that,
- 38:42Speaker 4: bases loaded, gives up. Two runs to end the game.
- 38:46Speaker 4: Walk off Brewers. Mason freaking Miller.
- 38:51Speaker 3: Well, I was just going to say, tell you what.
- 38:53Speaker 4: The moment got to him.
- 38:56Speaker 3: I love, I want San Diego to stay in this
- 38:58Speaker 3: so badly just because I think that their crowd is
- 39:00Speaker 3: great for the sport.
- 39:02Speaker 4: But so is Milwaukee's crowd.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:04Speaker 5: I got a team. Oh, by the way, I got
- 39:07Speaker 5: a team. I am officially in on the White Sox.
- 39:11Speaker 4: So am I.
- 39:12Speaker 5: Because I can't get enough of Mooney Murakami.
- 39:16Speaker 4: Brett, it's on your board.
- 39:18Speaker 6: Play it.
- 39:19Speaker 3: I am a Japanese!
- 39:21Speaker 5: No, no, I need the Japanese call of his home
- 39:24Speaker 5: run to beat Cleveland.
- 39:25Speaker 6: I don't speak English!
- 39:27Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you're going to.
- 39:28Speaker 1: You better.
- 39:29Speaker 3: These guys don't either, but you better. you got to
- 39:30Speaker 3: hear this.
- 39:31Speaker 4: White Sox.
- 39:31Speaker 1: White Sox.
- 39:32Speaker 4: White Sox.
- 39:32Speaker 1: White Sox.
- 39:33Speaker 4: White Sox.
- 39:48Speaker 5: Did he say postseason?
- 39:54Speaker 3: I feel so good!
- 39:56Speaker 4: Okay, let's stop everything right now. Let's stop everything.
- 40:00Speaker 3: That is the greatest call. I love the Japanese. I
- 40:03Speaker 3: love them. Why don't you do that?
- 40:05Speaker 4: Why don't you do that?
- 40:06Speaker 3: Postseason! Oh, is that post a season?
- 40:17Speaker 5: Yeah, there's probably not a word in the Japanese language
- 40:20Speaker 5: for postseason.
- 40:21Speaker 4: I don't know. Dude, I cannot.
- 40:27Speaker 5: So Murakami hits a two run jack. Sox beat the
- 40:31Speaker 5: Guardians three nothing. And it's his first career postseason home run.
- 40:34Speaker 5: That's what he hits homers. He can't hit for average.
- 40:37Speaker 5: Like if the guy has a base hit, it's an
- 40:39Speaker 5: absolute miracle.
- 40:43Speaker 4: You have to do that. All right, I got one.
- 40:46Speaker 3: Murakami, by the way, and that Japanese call is the
- 40:49Speaker 3: greatest advertisement for Japan I've ever heard. I want to
- 40:53Speaker 3: visit Tokyo now. I want to hang out there. Vic,
- 40:56Speaker 3: you've been.
- 40:56Speaker 4: My son just got back from Japan.
- 40:58Speaker 3: Did he like it? Loved it. Okay, you feel good
- 41:01Speaker 3: because you fit right in height-wise, right?
- 41:03Speaker 4: You feel like you can dunk on people. He said
- 41:05Speaker 4: there's some taller people there. There's genetics going on in Japan.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Really?
- 41:09Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 41:10Speaker 3: Well, I want to go to Tokyo so bad.
- 41:11Speaker 1: How?
- 41:14Speaker 3: I got to find a way to do it. Is
- 41:16Speaker 3: that like... From our perspective. Yeah, from Lombardi's perspective, taller people. Okay,
- 41:19Speaker 3: got it.
- 41:20Speaker 4: Well, you know, when I went to Japan many years ago,
- 41:23Speaker 4: I was the tall guy. Now, not anymore. They're doing genetics.
- 41:28Speaker 3: Sup, bro? Sup?
- 41:30Speaker 4: All right, I got one.
- 41:32Speaker 5: He probably carried a basketball down the street and just
- 41:34Speaker 5: started posting people up just for the.
- 41:36Speaker 3: Hell of it.
- 41:36Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, I've waited all weekend to share
- 41:40Speaker 4: this one because I know you guys are equally as
- 41:42Speaker 4: angry as I was. Kid applies for a play-by-play job
- 41:46Speaker 4: for the Portland Trailblazers. And we know the situation there.
- 41:48Speaker 4: Owner's cheap. Can you stop doing that?
- 41:51Speaker 3: Oh, sorry.
- 41:52Speaker 4: Owner won't spend money and all this stuff, whatever. So
- 41:54Speaker 4: this guy applies for the job. He's only 29 years old.
- 41:57Speaker 4: He was doing WNBA games. He gets the job. Next
- 42:00Speaker 4: thing you know, there's a TV station in Portland that decides,
- 42:04Speaker 4: let's play high school. Let's do some tabloid journalism. This
- 42:09Speaker 4: TV station dug into his tweets from 15 years ago
- 42:14Speaker 4: when he was, what, 14, 15 years of age, and
- 42:17Speaker 4: they found a couple tweets that were not the most
- 42:19Speaker 4: politically correct tweets, obviously. But they weren't the kind that says, oh,
- 42:23Speaker 4: my God, he's a bad person. Those tweets, they reported them.
- 42:27Speaker 4: They got to Portland. The Portland Trailblazers, cowards that they are,
- 42:31Speaker 4: fired this kid before he even got the job. They
- 42:34Speaker 4: fire him. Then this TV station, KGW, goes on this, hey,
- 42:38Speaker 4: look at us, puffing their chest out. We found this story.
- 42:42Speaker 4: We uncovered it. What story did you uncover exactly? How
- 42:45Speaker 4: was that journalism?
- 42:47Speaker 3: What are you doing?
- 42:48Speaker 4: You're investigating tweets that are 15 years old from this
- 42:52Speaker 4: kid and you denied him his job. You cost him
- 42:54Speaker 4: his career. What are you doing to serve the public?
- 42:57Speaker 4: How is that a public serving journalistic move? What a
- 43:00Speaker 4: joke you are. If you wonder why so many people
- 43:03Speaker 4: are afraid, not afraid, that's the wrong word. So many
- 43:06Speaker 4: people are suspicious of journalists these days.
- 43:09Speaker 3: That's why.
- 43:10Speaker 4: You give our profession a bad name. KGW, that reporter,
- 43:15Speaker 4: that editor, that program director, the news director, all of you,
- 43:18Speaker 4: you're a joke.
- 43:20Speaker 6: It's insane.
- 43:21Speaker 3: And this happens a lot where it's just like you
- 43:24Speaker 3: dig up stuff. I just think it's gross. Because all
- 43:28Speaker 3: you're setting out to do is ruin somebody's life. That's it.
- 43:31Speaker 4: That's it.
- 43:33Speaker 3: That's the one purpose of that story.
- 43:34Speaker 4: You just cost this kid his dream job for what?
- 43:38Speaker 3: So what does that do? When he was in high school,
- 43:40Speaker 3: he said something that wasn't great.
- 43:42Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
- 43:42Speaker 3: So what does it do? It does nothing. What do
- 43:45Speaker 3: you serve?
- 43:45Speaker 4: How does that? When you're a fair and balanced journalistic newsroom,
- 43:49Speaker 4: you serve the public. How does that serve the public exactly?
- 43:53Speaker 4: What does that do for you?
- 43:55Speaker 3: I don't know. One more here, Nelly. You got one?
- 44:00Speaker 6: Oh, by the way.
- 44:02Speaker 8: Arizona State hosted Baylor this weekend, and earlier in the week,
- 44:05Speaker 8: ASU's head coach Kenny Dillingham was talking about some of
- 44:08Speaker 8: the impact players on Baylor, and he had a strange
- 44:11Speaker 8: way of describing Baylor's punter.
- 44:13Speaker 9: When he gets a hold of it, I mean, this
