  Speaker 1: To Rally House Football Monday. Rally House shop every team
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in town. And let's head out to the Ramos Law Hotline.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Car accident, you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: We are joined as we are every Monday recapping the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Broncos game for the weekend by Ryan Harris.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Ryan, first of all, welcome. Second of all, how?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: How?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Well, always great to be with you, legends.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: And how is your defense? The Broncos' defense held the
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Rams to four straight field goals, including when the Rams
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: got the ball on the 36-yard line.
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: You cannot play better. And oh, by the way, Hufanga's
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: interception made a huge difference. So this defense is good
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: enough to win you a championship. And don't make me
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: get a ring for people who say, well, how long
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: can you rely on your defense to bail you out?
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: I got over 200 diamonds. That says 27 weeks, boys.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You're so right. And it's contradictory, though, Ryan, because if
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: you look at the final numbers, What a field day
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: that Matt Stafford had through the air. I mean, the
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: guy nearly throws for 400 yards. Pat Sertan looked like
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: a human. Riley Moss gave up some big ones, big chunks.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And yet, you start your whole thing by saying defense
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: won the game.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Both things can be true.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, any one of those touchdowns happen instead
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of a field goal.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: You're literally in overtime. Any two of those touchdowns. And
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: then you lose the game. So the biggest thing is
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: that I see though, is we're in an era of
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: arrogance now, right? We are three games in and not
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: a single game has started fast, not on the road,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: not at home. So whatever's happening is not, it's wrong.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Do the exact opposite. Davis Webb, you come in here
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: and you start watching film. You think about the plays
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: you like, throw those ones away and then go to
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: the ones that you think that they're going to stop.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: that you shouldn't run because whatever you think they're going
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: to not see and not understand that's coming, they know
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: what's coming for the first half. And here, guys, is
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: another step where this entire offense can grow. You have
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: to be able to adjust in drive or drive to drive.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: You cannot wait until halftime.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Ryan, I keep saying this, and I have been saying it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: It can't last. It just can't last. They can't keep
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: doing this over and over again.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yet they do.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: All the stats would tell you that it's not possible
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: to keep doing this, yet we see it time and
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: time again, and great players make dumb plays to allow
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: you to do this, and then you take advantage of this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: How long can it last, Ryan? You're a pro. You've
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: been in these situations a million times. This is perpetual,
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: so it seems.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you've only got now three games under
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: your belt. So it's only working.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Well, you look at last year, too. I mean, you
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: look at last year, too.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: But if you're looking at this year, right, you have,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: it's only working 66% of the time. Because when you
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: went against a great team, it didn't work, did it?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: The comeback did not work, did it? By the way,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Chiefs are looking mighty, mighty good right now.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So to me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: This is a situation where, you know, I think players
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: have to take more pride about their work. I mean,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I took a tremendous amount of pride about, hey, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: want to work so hard. I don't want to have
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: a penalty for a false start or a procedure penalty
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, right? I'm going to attack those
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: details even harder. And that's where this team needs to
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: get to because it's just not sharp offensively for the
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: first half. And defensively, they got to get hit in
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: the mouth first. And we all love the movie Rocky
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: and all that, but we don't feel good about where
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Rocky's at right now, do we? He took a lot
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: of hits to the head that he did need to take.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: All conversations with Ryan are brought to you by Carrier Colorado.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Colorado weather changes fast. Make sure your home is ready
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: with Carrier and your local Carrier experts. Find the right
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: system for your home at CarrierColorado.com. Carrier, turn to the experts. So, Ryan,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on that subject, you know, it's curious to me. You
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: look at the game that Bo Nix plays and, What's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: funny is if nobody was told there's a different play
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: caller this year, I don't think anyone would notice. It
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: looks the exact same. So it begs the question, does
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: this slow start, great finish offense have anything to do
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: with play calling, or is it more about personnel alone?
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Well, it is, I think, the informal conversations that happen
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: outside of the field, right? Hey, Brett, you're my offensive coordinator. Look, Brett,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I've trust you completely, right? And what you want to do,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: by the way, on third down, I want duo, no polar.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I want to check to the, I mean, like if
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I start telling you 17 things that I want in
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the package at a certain point, you're not getting a
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: whole lot of leeway.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: So I'm not sure what that process is.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: But I think whatever has happened with Davis Webb and
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: play calling The best thing you can say that we've
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: all seen that's been demonstrated is that Sean Payton is
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: going to give Davis Webb time to develop. And he's
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: going to give him his insight and allow him to
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: call the plays. And that's something that is a consistency
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: piece for Bo Nix. He doesn't want to hear two
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: different voices chiming in during the game. So I really
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: love how Sean Payton's brought along Davis Webb and looking
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: at the team that they went against last night in
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: the Rams. and they won the game, and you needed
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: your defense. But I also think by Davis Webb calling
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: the plays, you get that timeout in the fourth quarter
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: that Coach Payton took, and that's huge. I think his
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: head's out of the playbook enough to where he's saying, hey,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: let's give our defense just an extra couple seconds.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Here to ensure this game. Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Ryan, I want to ask you a little bit more
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to distinguish between plays and play calling, play execution and
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: play calling, because we're giving a lot of heat to
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the coaches for how they call plays early. However, I
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: want to take the first play of the game. We've
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: all known that the Broncos want to get the run
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: game going. First play of the game, they line up
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Waddle in the backfield. And I'm sure they worked on
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: this play all week. They said, okay, we're going to
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: hit them with this, and it's going to open up,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and we're going to get J.K. Dobbins a good 10
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: yards on the first play of the game. So Dobbins
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: is giving the ball.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: He's running left.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: The reason the play was blown up, I just looked
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: at it twice, Corlin Sutton.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Missed a block.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: He missed a block.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: The DB cut inside him and made a tackle for
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: a two-yard loss.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: So how much of this is play call?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: How much of this is play execution early?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: It's 50-50.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: And Vic, I do want to celebrate you saying distinguished.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: You're learning something from your son there at law school.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you what. If your starting play is
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: to say, let's get someone who doesn't carry the ball
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: from the backfield to depend on somebody who doesn't block
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: as a primary responsibility, what are we doing here?
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Versus give me two tight ends. Let Cortland give a runoff.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: I don't care what. If you're running the ball, get
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: them away from each other. Split the defense. That's the play.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: So it's personnel.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: You don't want to make somebody who doesn't major in
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: kick and tail on the first play of the game
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to be in that position. So that is play calling. Now,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: when you're in the fourth quarter and you are in
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: a got-to-have-it comeback and you dial up a play and
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: you're all pro left tackle, who I love very, very much,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden wanders and took us into the backfield,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: that's a problem that personnel can't fix.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you make such a valid point there
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: because I think coaches sometimes, they run into this hey,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: we're going to fool the opposition.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: We're going to trick them.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: We've got mind games.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Football at its core is body on body, man.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: So you want to see more three tight end, two
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: tight end personnel early?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Is that what you're asking for? I want to see
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: us run the ball on third and one first. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: not go spread on third and one? If you're calling
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: anything other than run, yes. It doesn't matter. Spread, you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: wing tee.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Are we running the ball on third and one and
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: letting them know that we're running down your face mask?
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Or are we saying we're going to trick you on
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: third and one? Go deliver the baby, okay? Go deliver
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: the baby, number one. But number two, you got to
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: be able to grow through those moments and dominate. And
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: that's something where this team just is, They have to
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: wait to get upset and look at, just look no
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: further than the Rams. Did anybody, you see how Kyron
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Williams would just run the ball and then guess what
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: they do?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: They'd run it again.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, one of the best offensive coordinators I ever
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: played with said, we're going to keep calling it until
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: they can stop it twice, not once, twice. And that's
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: the kind of mentality they got to get into.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Did you run the wing tee in high school? Was that?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: While you brought that up? We had Joe Maurer at quarterback, homie.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: We were throwing that thing, but it wasn't an O-line.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I was going to say.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Hey, listen, Ryan, you've played with a lot of quarterbacks
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: in your life. And there are some guys I'm sure
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: you thought, this guy's kind of a panicky plug. And
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: there are some guys who are just ballers, right? Just ballers, right? Well,
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: how in the hell do we have the panicky plug
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: and the baller in the same dude and all of
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: a sudden it comes out? The panicky plug goes away
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: and the baller slinging the pig and just in a
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: flow and confident. How does a guy transform mid-game all
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: the time?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: The hell is a panicky plug?
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Just a guy, miss, everything just fits and stops, can't
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: get anything going. Never heard of that in my life.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: But in the second half, Ryan, in the second half,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Bo Nix is, I mean, frigging amazing.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Well, would you rather have the opposite? No, I'd rather
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: have it this way.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Would you rather have him slanging it to start with
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: and then get nervous when it, so think about the contrast.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: But the other thing too, and this is just the
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: outside looking in, and I'm a huge fan of Bo Nix.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: I've been a Bo Lever, first pew, okay? he gets
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: too excited at the start of games. And it's completely understandable.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: You are one of the best quarterbacks with the best
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: arm in the NFL to you and to the rest
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: of your teammates and coaching staff. You were an ankle
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: injury away from winning the Super Bowl, which you can't
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: think about now.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I got you. He's not afraid. He's not afraid of
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: what the score is.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: He's not afraid of what you do to him in
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: the first half but he will be there in the
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter to deliver and that's something where I'd rather
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: have a quarterback who's ready for those moments when they
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: come than to have a confident quarterback like Kirk Cousins
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: who does very very well quarters one through four just
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: missed it in the fourth quarter so Bo Nix delivers
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: when it's time But just the outside looking in, he's
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: too excited. I mean, you saw he came out of
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: the tunnel for when they called his name.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He started sprinting.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: It's like, hey, man, Tom Brady never sprinted outside of
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: that tunnel. You take a leisurely jog and let your
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: muscles warm up.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Ryan Harris with us.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Ryan, can you explain to the people all your years
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: playing offensive line? I want to highlight somebody in particular.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I think that game flipped a lot for the Rams
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in the second half because Zach Allen was an absolute monster.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And when you collapse the pocket from the middle, just
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: explain to people what that does, especially for an MVP
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: quarterback like Stafford, didn't look the same in the second half,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and he's a big reason for it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Well, first, it forces the quarterback to slightly bend their
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: knees more in the back of the pocket because they're
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: ready to move, right? They don't even set up the
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: same way. Next, any time an interior lineman beats a guard, center,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: or tackle, all three of those, guard, center, and tackle,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: are talking to each other after that play. Hey man,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Brett Kane just got me right there. That's my bad.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Can you give me a little more hip?
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Hey, and then by the way, because you do that, Brett,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Vic gives up a sack to Mosier. And so the
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: next play, Vic goes, hey guys, Mosier got me.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Can you give me a little more hip?
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: So that's, it changes the conversation in the huddle for
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: the players who just got beat. And Matthew Stafford then
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: is always ready to move and does not feel confident
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: stepping up. And that's something where with the edge pressure,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I think Brandon Jones had the best game of his
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Broncos career.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: He was fantastic.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: So working together like that, that's how you get going
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: and how you get started.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Hey, you know what I didn't notice last night, Ryan Harris?
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: I didn't notice Aaron Donald.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: And I thought the Broncos did a good job neutralizing him.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: He didn't do much.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Did you see Quinn Miners hog tossing him on that
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: one play?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, he threw him right over the tea kettle. Quinn Miners,
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I love it, boys. Because what he's saying is, I
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: don't care. How many championships you won?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Get your ass out of here. You know what I mean?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Come on, dog. There's nothing better than that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: And Quinn Miners, I got to be down there the
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: last seven minutes of the fourth quarter down there. He
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: was just, he was leading that offensive line. He really
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: became a leader in that game. He's covered the belly.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: He's got the power. But I think Ben Powers has
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: to play a little bit better.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: He's a good player, but he's got to be consistent. Well,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you're right.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, Quinn Miners just led the way, and that
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: offensive line really quieted down Aaron Donald, who has not
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: been the same in picking his spots in September here,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: but picking his spots, coming in on third down and
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: stuff like that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: One quick thing before we let you go, Ryan. I
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: can't believe I'm asking this, but I feel like I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Should we be worried about the Raiders? We never worry
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: about the rate. I was going to say there's three.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I don't like what I do.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: I feel like that was a quality win in new
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Orleans yesterday.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: It's kind of scary. Yeah.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: New Orleans is a way better, way better team than
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: people think. And Oh, by the way, it's one of
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: the toughest environments to play in. Look, it's a Kubiak.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: So shame on you for doubting the success at the Raiders.
