  Speaker 1: This is the Appetizer Hour with Brett Cain on demand.

  Speaker 1: Check out Brett weekday mornings at 6 on Altitude Sports

• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Look, it was easy going for us here because the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: weekend in football was already taken care of on Thursday
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: for the most part. You didn't have to sweat out
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a Broncos game wondering if they're going to make some
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: sort of comeback or is the defense going to hold
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: up late in the game or is the offense going
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to make a play to win it? Like, you didn't
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: have that. But I was on edge kind of all weekend.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It was, especially in college football, but just overall, one
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: of the more wild finishes to so many important games
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that you're going to see. even games that were blowouts
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: before became close games.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: It was nuts.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And, you know, in the case of the NFL, what's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: really nuts to me is there were maybe two games
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: in which you didn't know who was going to win
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: pretty much the entire time. I mean, obviously the Chiefs
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and the Chargers, because the Chargers are just, man. You're
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: now talking about them with Justin Herbert. Like, are they
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: going to win a game? Herbert with another multiple turnover game.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I guess one of those picks got called back. But
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: can't run the football.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Omari and Hampton.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Kamani Vidal, they combined for like 39 yards rushing. Their
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: leading rusher was Justin Herbert. I've never quite seen a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: team that was hyped up as much as the Chargers
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: in the preseason that ended up being as bad as
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that team is.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It's hard to fathom.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And then the other game that really wasn't close was
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the Packers and the Cowboys game where the Packers kind
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of had control of that the entire way. But goodness gracious,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: what a weekend in football. And I want to start
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: in the college ranks. When you have the number one,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the number two, the number six, the number seven teams
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: in the country all go down. two of those to
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: unranked opponents, and then the third team in the country
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: probably should have lost or at least pushed into double
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: overtime against a 3-3 football team, unranked.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Ohio State.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Was half a foot away from being upset by Indiana,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and I get that Indiana's won every game for the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: last two years or whatever, but I think very clearly
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Ohio State was the favorite going into that game.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: It's nuts.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And here's what I thought about, you know, in CU even,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: giving Utah a push at the end of the game,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: which was nice to see. The thing I thought to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: myself is, are we going to have this same level
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: of I guess the elation, because that's kind of what
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we watch college football for, college sports. There's a million teams,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and so when you look at teams from across the league,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you're kind of hoping for upsets. That's what you like.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: It shakes up the dice and makes the evaluation of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the sport a lot more interesting. Well, with the expansion
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of this playoff to 24, is this something that takes
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: away from it? And Look, I know that it's my
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: job to have some, like, avowed opinion and say it
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: with fervor, and if you disagree with me, then you're stupid.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Every once in a while, this happens to me, though.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not really sure. Part of me thinks that it
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: will take away from weekends like this that are, look,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: incredibly rare. but incredibly fun. You know, Auburn walks into
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Georgia and beats Georgia in their own house. BYU beats
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame in a very bizarre thing that we'll get
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to in just a little bit. Florida State almost does
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: it to Miami. Tennessee beats Alabama. Florida walks into Texas
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and hands them their second loss of the year. Like
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: all of these things that we witness in college football,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: does that get dumbed down?
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Because of the expansion to 24 playoff teams.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I could.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I could literally argue both sides right now. And it's
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: got to be something that I guess... We're going to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: have to see starting next year. It is a shift
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: in thinking. It's a shift in thinking in that... You know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: when you had the BCS era.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Like every... If... this weekend would.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Have ruined the college football season as far as all
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: these teams trying to make it to a national championship. Like,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Georgia could be knocked out, and Notre Dame could have
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: been knocked out, and Indiana could have been knocked out,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and Bama's knocked out, and Texas is knocked out, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: all these different teams.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Like, they are out.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Of the national championship discussion. With 12 teams are now
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in it, and with 24 teams, there's still very, very, very, very, very,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: very much in it. That's the argument against it is
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: college football's entire appeal was losing a game could ruin
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: your season and you had to stay pretty perfect. It's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: not the case anymore. Now, on the flip side of that,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament has 68 teams in the field. You
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: know that 68 teams don't have a shot at a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: national title. A 16 seed can barely, like there's been what,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: two or three of them that have ever won ever?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It was UMBC, wasn't there another one recently that I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: can't remember? They've only won a game in the tournament
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: a couple of times in the history of the tournament.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: But nobody seems to have a problem with the 16
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: seed playing in the NCAA tournament. So from that sense,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the 24th team is not going to win the national title.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Should it be that bothersome? I don't know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They want to play the game for upsets, okay? Well,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: that's the reason why a lot of us watch the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: NCAA tournament is for the upsets. At the same time,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: what makes college basketball fun is you have teams and
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: players that you've never heard of that compete in those upsets.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: It's not like Vanderbilt in football at the number 24.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I know Vanderbilt's terrible this year. Who is 24 right now?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Let's just take a quick look. The 24th team in
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the country as of today is Northwestern. Like, we've seen
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Northwestern play. Would it be a big upset if they
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: beat Miami in the first round of the college football playoff? Like, yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: it'd be a big upset. Would it be like UMBC
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: beating Virginia?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: No.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't feel like that. So honestly, I don't know.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: All I know is this weekend in college football was
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: a blast because everywhere you looked, you had behemoths going down.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And to CU's credit, game was very late. When you
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: give up a quick 13-0 lead and you haven't scored
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: after a half, You felt like, all right, at least
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: we've kept ourselves in the football game. It could have
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: been a lot worse, I guess is what I'm saying.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: You stiffened up in the red zone twice to hold
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Utah to field goals in the first half or else
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the game would have felt totally out of reach. But
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to storm back and take a 17-3 lead in the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: third and to do it pretty quickly, I think showing
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: fight is some sort of positive. And look, We can
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: sort of parse through the idea of, well, shouldn't we
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: be expecting wins at this point in year four?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Like, we could do that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: But you went from a team where you were having
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: trouble seeing how they were going to be competitive with
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: other teams, and now at least they competed with a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: very good football team in Utah. And I've been saying
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: it all year. For all of the offensive foibles, they've
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: had in the starting quarterback play not that well, running
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: game kind of up and down. I thought the defense
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: has been pretty damn good all year, even against good opponents.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: But I think that's a credit to see you for
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: coming back. You had this game off a bye. You
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: had to look prepared. It took a minute, but you
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: showed some fight, and I think that's worth it. In fact,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Deion said as much.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: In the postgame.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: That he almost never does it after a loss, but
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: he said he was proud of his guys, and I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: don't disagree with him. When you're a losing football team,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and you've been losing for a while, and you've had
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: three straight weeks of pretty awful products that have been
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: put out there, I think it would be easy to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: fold after giving up an early lead, and they didn't,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and that's a credit to them.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: But you look around, man. It was all over. College
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: football was that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm going to have a hell of a time
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out college football, stock up, stock down.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Who's the ups? Who's the most down? Because it's crazy.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: And all of this, like, It's all sort of turned
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: on its ear in this sense. College football is a
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: trust game, and here's why. Because there's no set standard
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: of how you get into the dance. And it's always
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: driven me nuts. I think there should be some basic
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: rules of teams that qualify for the playoff.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: They don't have it. They don't listen to me. I
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: think they should.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: You should have, you know, it should be like you
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: need to play in your conference championship game or you
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: need to be a conference champion or you need to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: do this.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: It has to have some set of standard. X amount
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: of teams are.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: conference champions, and then you can choose teams who played
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: in the conference championship or at large or whatever you
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: want to do from there.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: You know, kind of like how.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: The NFL does it. There's a standard. Here's how you
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: make the playoffs. You either win your division or you're
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: one of the best teams in the league, one of
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the three best teams in your conference to not win your.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Division by record. It's very simple. Nobody argues.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Nobody says, well, I think that if on a neutral field,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: if the Rams played against the Panthers, the Rams would win.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: You got to qualify for it. But in college football,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: how do you evaluate all of what you just witnessed?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: That's what makes it difficult. How do you do Notre.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Dame and BYU? Look, Notre Dame.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Lost the game. And yes, they had a second that
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: should have been put back on the clock. I actually
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: don't mind the non-PI call. It felt like a lot
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of hand fighting between the guys. Both of them had
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: a hold on each other's arms. I don't have a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: problem with the non-PI call. But not putting a second
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: back on the clock is crazy. And I can't believe
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: in a marquee game for the second time in college
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: football this year, they.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Did it again. They got the clock wrong. And the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: only reason.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: We can just be honest here. Not to be some
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame defender. We'll get one of those in 45 minutes.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: If that game was flipped the opposite way and BYU
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: had the ball down four and the second was on
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the clock and they called the game, people would be
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: crying conspiracy.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I know that for sure. I probably would be one
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: And the fact that it happened the other way is
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: now telling me these refs just suck.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Like, how do you not go back and look?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Now, it doesn't mean that Notre Dame with a second
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: back on the clock wins the football game. Maybe BYU
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: still does, but that's a mistake that just can't happen.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Can't happen.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So there is a ton to talk about this morning,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: including from the NFL, which was, you want to talk
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: about another pretty crazy weekend.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Woof.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: So we'll get to all of this in just a
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: few minutes.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: 303-504-0925 as we broadcast from the Backus & Shanker Studios.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Backus & Shanker, your hometown injury lawyers in a car accident.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Call 303-222-2222.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Back after this.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: It's a Rally House Football Monday on Altitude Sports Radio.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Rally House shop every team in town.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: We have the Avs and the Flyers tonight at 5 o'clock.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: We are just a few days away. from Nuggets basketball.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So that right around the corner, again, it is coming
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: your way on Thursday at Oklahoma City. So we're about
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: to have the old trio of sports happening at once again.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: But to the NFL from yesterday, it is a reminder
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: that I think that I certainly need, and I think
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of people in Denver need, The Broncos are
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: not a perfect product, but the Broncos execute when the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: game matters.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: And that is not some small feat.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: That is a very, very important part of what football is.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Football is execution in critical moments. There are teams that
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: do it, and there's teams that don't. And I think
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you've seen repeatedly that teams that we thought were supposed
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to be good. The Chargers are in like sort of
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: a ball on their own because the Chargers are just,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: they're a mess from start to finish. Like the Chargers
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: have a hard time putting themselves in football games. They're
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: always battling from behind trying to find some sort of footing.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: But the Rams are a curious one. The Rams on
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: paper have every bit a Super Bowl roster. And when
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: it comes to late game execution, you saw it in
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the Broncos game. They allowed the Broncos to score 30
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: points in the second half, a pick six late in
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: that game, and you don't finish. In the Bills game,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: you have an opportunity to close out Josh Allen in overtime.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: They fumble.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: You get the ball. You can put the game away.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Missed field goal. Then results in a field goal for
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the Bills. And Josh Allen wins his first ever overtime game.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: And then yesterday against the Cardinals. It's once again a
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: game against an inferior opponent in which you should be
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: trucking this team. And the Rams can't execute. And they
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: especially can't execute late. They get the late touchdown that
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: puts them up. With 47 seconds left. But you got
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: to get a stop. They can't get a stop. Like,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: it's bizarre. And I can't figure out for the life
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: of me what the Cardinals are. The Cardinals are a team,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: they just, they don't have explosive offense. They're still worst
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: in the league in explosive play rate offensively. And think
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: about that for all we complain about here in Broncos
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: country for years. what this offense is and maybe the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: lack of oomph that it has. The fact that the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Cardinals are worse in that category is pretty crazy. But
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: it's like they beat the Chargers in week one and
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: maybe that was a different sort of skewed mind on
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: this because.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: We thought the Chargers were supposed.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: To be good in week one. But they hang in
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: there in a game against the Niners 36-30. But then
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: they get sort of bounced and trucked by the Giants
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: and they lose big to the Lions, but then they
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: beat the Rams. It's a very weird team. But execution,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: being able to finish, like this stuff's huge. And what
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the Broncos have had, and you can see it by record,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: this is not a fluke. This is a real tangible thing.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: There is no denying this anymore.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: We can say.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: There's factors and elements of other things, and if you
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: want to call luck one of them, by all.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Means, do it. You'd be right.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: But you don't get to, what is it, 15-3? No,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: 16-3 in one score games over the last two years
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: by being lucky. You do that by out-executing when the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: pressure's at its highest. You know, there's something to be
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: said for teams that go for it a lot on
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: fourth down, and the Broncos aren't really one of those,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: but they will do it occasionally. I do think that
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: sets up at least an offense for teams that go
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: for it a lot on fourth down to be able
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: to learn to execute in high-pressure situations. It might be
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: a fourth and four in the second quarter, but it's
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: a turnover if you don't execute. And I think you
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: can build confidence that way, and certainly, The Broncos are
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the most confident team in the league when it comes
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to late in games.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Nobody's better.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And I just, I saw between college football and the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: NFL over the weekend, teams not being able to do that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: And it's nuts.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But you look at all these games over the weekend,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: it came to late game execution. Even games that we
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: thought were going to be blowouts, like the Bears and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the Falcons. Like the Falcons had the ball in a
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: one possession game With like four minutes left.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: After being down 31 to seven.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You know, the Colts are up 13, nothing at halftime
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: and they give up 26 to the Titans partly because
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Daniel Jones can't stop throwing the ball to the other team.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: And that's with Cam Ward on the other side of
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the football. Cam Ward won a football game in which
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: he was 11 of 22 for 102 yards and a pick.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: It's execution late. Good football teams do it. Bad ones don't.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: And that's the biggest thing I saw from over the weekend.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: It's who has that ability. And yes, I will continue...
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: to discuss the things that I think plague the Broncos,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: to hold them back from not being just a great team,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: but the best team in the NFL. That is my
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: standard for them, by the way. That is the lens
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I view them through. The comparison I made on Friday
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: after the Broncos win over the Seahawks was this. If
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the Colorado Avalanche, who I expect to win a championship
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: this year, they have the talent to do it. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: think they should. If they've started this season scoring seven
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: goals a game, but allowing six, but they're, you know,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: through 20 games, they're 15-4-1, but they average six goals against,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be saying everything's fine because they're winning games.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I would say that's an issue that at some point,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: when the games matter the most, is going to get
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: you beat because you can't execute in the proper areas.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: And I expect more of them. And I think the,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I think the same thing, the same thing, I think
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the same.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Thing towards the Broncos in, in what they do.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Um, you know, there was a report over the weekend
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: and this has been talked about before, but, but kind of,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I guess thrust more in the spotlight regarding maybe some issues, um,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: why the offense has gotten out to this sort of
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: sputtery start. And Jay Glazer said they changed offensive terminology
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: when Davis Webb became the OC in the offseason. And
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: when Sean Payton took over play-calling duties back from Webb,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: he switched it back to his terminology. And Glazer said
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: all the changing verbiage has played a role in Bo
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Nix's struggles. Peyton is confident Knicks will be just fine.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I understand why that might be a difficult thing. I
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: don't think that that's like, I don't think that's the
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: reason why the offense is like this. Does a change
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: in terminology change your ability to open up a hole
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: on the offensive line and establish a good rushing game?
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. Does it change Bo Knicks' ability
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: to see an open wide receiver downfield?
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: No. No.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: But I think that for a quarterback that is searching
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: for maybe some confidence right now, throwing more chaos at
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: him probably isn't a good thing. You know, the funny thing, guys,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: we can talk about the voice, the terminology, and the headset,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the whatever. Since Sean Payton's taken over, The last two
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: games of offense has been worse than any of the
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: previous four that we saw from Davis Webb.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Like, on average, it's been worse.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: But you're in a place right now where you look
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: around the NFL and here's the problem. The Chiefs with
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: this running game have turned into a different beast. uh,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker has added an element to that football team.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: That is just not something that I saw coming. Not
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to this extent knew they'd be better, but I didn't
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: think that they would have a pretty unstoppable ground attack.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, they went from a team that can't run
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: the football at all. That was like trying to dig
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: up the corpse of Kareem hunt to go out and
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: get three and a half yards of carry for him
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: to a team that has the leading rusher in the
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: NFL through, uh, Six weeks of the season. Kenneth Walker's
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: got 665 rushing yards so far. And it's not like
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: their passing game is lighting things on fire. Patrick Holmes
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to. You know where he ranks? Through 16
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: games this season? Sorry, through six games this season? He's
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: 16th in passing yards.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: 16th.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Now, what's funny about the Chiefs, the Chiefs have gone
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: out and they were one of those teams that had
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: like the early bye week. They had a bye week
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: last week, which gives even more credence to like what
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: a season Kenneth Walker's having. The fact that Kenneth Walker's
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: leading the league in rushing and he's had a bye
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: already is nuts. But Mahomes, he's thrown for 184 yards.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: He had 382 in the game against the Colts. but
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: then 246, 225, 272. Like, good numbers, but not eye-popping
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: because he doesn't have to. And think about this for
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: a second. The Chiefs' offense over the last, I would say,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: three years, they won football games, they did this and that,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: but their offense specifically was pretty pedestrian. even with one
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: of the greatest quarterbacks that's ever touched a football, it's
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: now changed this year into an offense that is very
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: feared again.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Because of Kenneth Walker.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: And all I can, it's still in my head, this
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: idea that, man, You really need to get something like
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: that for Bo Nix. You need to have somebody take
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: the pressure off. And I pray to every football god
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: that hears me right now. I don't believe in this,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: but I am praying that this is the case. That
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Jonah Coleman can be some sort of boost to the lineup.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: You know, they gave him the ball late in that
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: game against the Jags. He closed the game out, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: then he hasn't been seen since. Now, I believe.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: If I have this right, yeah, he was put on
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: IR after that week, so he is eligible to return
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: this week against the Cardinals.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I hope that that can be a shift.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Like, if you're just looking at what took place over
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: the weekend and what it meant for teams, the Broncos
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: were the biggest playoff riser after week seven.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, week six.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: They gained, this is a couchy thing, But their odds
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: to make the playoffs increased by 12% with the results
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: of the games from over the weekend. Conversely, a team
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: like the Colts, they dropped 26% with their loss against
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the Titans. That's the goal right now. You still want
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: to go out and try and win your division. All
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: of that's understood, but you've already dropped a game to
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs, and the Chiefs don't look like they're losing
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: anytime soon. The goal is just to get back in
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the dance and see what you can do from there.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: They're in really good shape. You look at the standings
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: right now where people sit sort of in the playoff race.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: The Broncos in the number six spot right now behind
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: New England for the.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Best wildcard spot at number five. But we were wondering,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: teams are going to drop out of the playoffs. Teams
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: are going to jump in. Who are they going to be?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Everything kind of looks like the way you'd expect with
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: one exception. Cleveland Browns, who get a lucky break, not
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: playing against Lamar Jackson, but playing against Tyler Huntley, felt
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: like they had no business winning that football game. The
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Ravens started the fourth quarter with a missed field goal
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: and a fumble in which The Browns turned that into
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: their only touchdown of the game. It's not like Deshaun
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Watson was crushing anybody. He threw for 164 yards. He
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: took five sacks. He was pretty miserable. But right now,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: through six weeks, the team that leads the AFC North
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: is the Cleveland Browns. And I keep waiting for that
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to change and shift, but it hasn't happened.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: No, it's still... Pretty damn good division, considering.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: All of those teams are one of those weird conferences.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Every team in the AFC North is above 500, with
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: three of them being 4-2. The Browns, the Steelers, and
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: the Ravens. Cincinnati was on a bye, they're three and two.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Are they on a bye or are they the game tonight?
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: No, they're on a bye.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: But when you're looking for teams to rise up in
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the rankings and drop back down and do all these
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: different things, like the Broncos did themselves a huge favor.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: We all thought three and three. during the first six
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: weeks of the season would be acceptable. That would get
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: you by, and then you get to the easier part
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: of your schedule. Well, they got through it 4-0. And
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: here's the big thing. We haven't talked about this a lot.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I think a huge credit as to why the Broncos
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: are 4-2 despite some pretty bad offense through the first
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: six weeks is because of you. And I mean that sincerely.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Playing at home in Denver is an absolute weapon. And
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: the crowd, I think, is a massive part of it.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: 3-0 at home through that stretch. When you provide the
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: amount of energy and the hostile environment that you do
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: whenever somebody walks into Mile High Stadium, it's an absolute
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: difference maker. And it's part of the reason why I
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: think I'm going to pick the Broncos to beat every
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: team who plays them at home this year, including the
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Chiefs in a couple weeks.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I think you're that good at home.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: So Ryan Harris is going to join us at 8
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: o'clock to discuss the weekend that was in the NFL
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: in college. It's an early game for the Avs, so
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: enjoy Connor McGahee on your drive home. Pre-game powered by
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Ramos Law starts at 4.30 this afternoon.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Then action.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Starts just after 5 on your home for the Avs.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 back after this. All right, I
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: want to talk about the Avs and Penguins game in
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: just a second, but I want to address something first.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: So we all remember this.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I won't play the whole clip, but we all remember
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: what happened Thursday night after the game.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Ryan Fitzpatrick does this. Bo Nix is not playing competitively.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: It's almost disrespectful to the quarterback position.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: How he's playing football. What do you mean? What do
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: you mean?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: What do you see?
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: What, how is he playing?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, the guy doesn't want to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: throw the ball.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: That's fine. He's thrown to the.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: All right, fine.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: We got it. You all heard it before. You've heard
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: it a million times now. Here's. This is so stupid.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Um, That became, hey, Aqib Tlaib on his podcast with
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Skip Bayless.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I forget what it's called. All the smoke or whatever
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Aqib Tlaib responded with a whole bunch of expletives. Talking about, oh,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Ryan Fitzpatrick gets disrespectful to the quarterback position.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: You suck. You went out, you had more interceptions than starts.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: You suck. You never played in a playoff game. You suck.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: You played for 15 different teams in your career.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: You suck. And everybody thought like, yeah, Keeb, you get him.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: That guy who played 17 years in the NFL, you
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: get that guy.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: All of it's stupid.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick, what he said is, I don't even think what
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick said is stupid. He's an analyst talking about the game.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: That's his opinion on it. For the people going back
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: at Fitzpatrick, and I don't care about Ryan Fitzpatrick, you
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: can hate him all you want to, but this is
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: about a broader subject of if the only people, because
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: here's what it came down to. We've heard this one before.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: If you didn't play the game, you can't talk about
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: the game. And now it's shifted to, well, even if
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: you played the game, if you didn't play it at
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: an all pro level, then you can't talk about the game.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: So nobody's allowed to, God forbid, if we use that
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: in politics. How many of you guys talking about your
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Republicans or your Democrats or whoever, did you ever serve.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: In public office before? Then I think you should shut up.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: 99% of people now can't talk about anything.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: All of it's stupid. You know what we do, what
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: my silly little thing is that I do?
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: It's entertainment, as sports are entertainment. I've never made a
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: movie before. I have opinions about movies.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Am I allowed?
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Or do I have to be Martin Scorsese to talk
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: about movies? Do I have to be Tarantino? Do I
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: have to be Christopher Nolan before I can make a
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: comment about whether a movie was good or not?
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: See how stupid this is?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: And this whole back and forth thing, attacking the person's
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: career instead of the content of what he's saying is ridiculous.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: A text says, Aqib's a real one. He's right.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: So if you weren't an elite player, you can't talk
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: about the sport. Well, that eliminates everybody who talks about
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: these things, including women, by the way. So no women
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: should be able to talk about sports at all, at
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: least not in the NFL, because they didn't play NFL football, right?
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Is that what we're doing? It's dumb. It's silly. Aqib
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: wasn't right.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: If Aqib just would say, instead of, you suck, your
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: opinion's invalid, why don't you actually spend time telling me
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: why his opinion's not valid, as opposed to who he
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: was as a player?
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: That's what makes no sense.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, Dan Orlovsky. Can you believe what he said about so-and-so?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: What does he know about football? He ran out of
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: the back of the end zone.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Aki was mad, and he cursed out Fitzpatrick, and I
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: guess that's kind of fun. Nothing he said invalidated what
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick said, by the way. I think it's all so silly.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I just wanted to get that out of
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: the way. Now, let me talk about something I've never
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: done before, which is play hockey. Is that okay to do?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: The Avs got off to a really rough start in
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: that Penguins game. It was one of those like, what
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: the bleep's going on here stuff? And they were able
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: to right the ship in the second, take control and
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: never give it back. Shout out to TJ Hughes who
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: got his first goal in the NHL. Again, after the
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: rough start, I think everybody kind of settled in, including
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Mackenzie Blackwood, who now has put up, at least statistically,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: back-to-back really good games, is in the last two against
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Dallas and Pittsburgh, he's faced 58 shots and he's made
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: 54 saves.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: That save percentage will be somewhere around 930. You take that.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Goals against, two in the last two games. That's what
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: you need. You get that, you're going to be the
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: best team in hockey. You're going to win the President's
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Trophy again. Now, finding other ways to get key details going,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the Avs did get a power play goal. They were
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: one for four with Brett McClain now taking over as
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: special teams coach.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I'm very curious.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: To see how that's all going to sort of run
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: its course. Jumping in mid-season with a team you haven't
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: been working with is going to be at least a
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: little bit of a transition phase. But getting a goal
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: on the board in that first game, I think, is big.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I think once... I don't want to say they didn't.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Take Pittsburgh seriously at first. There's just something about, I think,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: the Avs, even dating back to last year. When they
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: play at home, they start the game almost too comfortably.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: It's like they need a kick in the pants to
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: get things going, and two quick goals from Pittsburgh to
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: start the game will do that to you, especially when
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: they're back-to-back. It's like they need to be motivated first,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: and then they find it. Now, Leckanen gets another two
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: goals to start this year. It's a storyline for later,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: but it is going to be a big one on
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: You have money to work with right now.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: You're probably going to.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Try and make some moves when you get closer to
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: the deadline. You get a real evaluation of your team,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: what needs to improve, whatever. But Lekanen's contract sort of
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: hanging over your head this offseason, he's not somebody I
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: want to lose. I mean, think about this. He had
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: 21 goals in 70 games last season. He's got six
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: through eight this year. He's been a monster. So, again,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: not a conversation for now, but still something that I
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: think is going to hang over your head like a
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: cloud a little bit as this season goes on, especially
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: if he continues to put up numbers like this. The
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: better Lekanen does, the more the dollar signs go up,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: the more the dollar signs go up, the more cap
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: constraint you get, and then you have to make a decision.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Is he worth whatever that price is going to be
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: if that guy plays fantastic?
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: This year.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: So that's just something to keep an eye on. It
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: was a four-point night from McKinnon. You got three apples
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: from Marty Natchez in that game. The Avs, when they
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: turn their game on, I don't think there's anybody better
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: in the sport. It's the same thing as last year.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I really, I really feel that, and the Avs do too,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: right or wrong, The ending to last season was so
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: bizarre that it's one of the rare instances in sports,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: because I almost never do this. I think there's reasons
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: why you lose and things get exposed.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: In the playoffs.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I do think there was a fluky nature to the
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: way that you lost, which was four straight.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: That's bizarre.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Because you watch this team, when they are at their peak,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: there is nobody better in the sport. There's no more
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: entertaining team In the sport, nothing. By the way, Daddy
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: McCarr comes back and he throws in two apples as well.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: So rough start, great finish for the Avs. Hopefully we
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: get great start, great finish tonight as they take on
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: the Flyers at 5 o'clock. A couple texts come through.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Don't get mad, Brett, when we clap back at you
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: and Fitzpatrick for your opinion about Bo. I would never
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: get mad at somebody for having a differing opinion from me.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Telling somebody they can't have an opinion because, first of all,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: they didn't play the sport, or secondly, they didn't play
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: the sport at a high enough level. Like Fitzpatrick played
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: in the NFL for 17 years, but he wasn't like
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: an all-pro quarterback. So then that's the stuff that drives
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: me nuts. It's not an argument. You aren't addressing the
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: guy's argument. You're addressing his career. Well, we aren't talking
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: about Ryan Fitzpatrick's career. That's the point. You can tell
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: me I'm an idiot all you want to. You can
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: say that I have the worst opinion on X thing
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: that you've ever heard. I will not get upset with that.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: You and me see things differently. That's life. But to say,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: forget sports, to say, I thought that movie sucked.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: And you go, oh, yeah? Well, are you Christopher Nolan?
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: No.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: So can I not say anything about whether I like
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: the movie? That's what I'm talking about. You can criticize
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: somebody's opinion of something. Texas says that's a straw man argument.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: The point was Fitz's analysis.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: It was the hateful way in which he expressed it
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: with a whole disrespectful nonsense. Okay, we don't have a
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: ton of time. I'll just make this quick. He was
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: not criticizing the disrespectful thing. What Ryan Fitzpatrick was talking
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: about was taking a hit and being competitive. Now, say
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: what you want about Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ryan Fitzpatrick would lower
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: his head into somebody and take a hit.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: He would do that.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I saw Balmani Jones tweet something saying, you can think
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: he's a bad quarterback all you want to, but Ryan
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick played with an edge and played tough. That was
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: that guy's religion. That's what he was talking about. So anyway,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: we can get back to this later. You can always
