- 0:43Speaker 2: Is Nate better Nate Caine.
- 0:47Speaker 5: It's a pretty good name. Nate Caine would be a
- 0:50Speaker 5: good shortstop. I think arrange you shortstop with a gun.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Nate Nate Cain is a great shortstop with a range
- 0:58Speaker 2: and a gun. Brett Kane and was a plotting third
- 1:01Speaker 2: baseman with no arm, but could hit kind of.
- 1:05Speaker 5: Right, stumbley around a little bit third base, make a
- 1:07Speaker 5: couple of gotta hurry up a couple of diving stabs
- 1:11Speaker 5: from time to tell you. That's about it. Yeah, that's cool,
- 1:14Speaker 5: hurry yup night.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Hey, just quick aside, I know this is all about,
- 1:18Speaker 2: you know, it's it's a bud Light Football Friday, and
- 1:20Speaker 2: we're gonna be talking about Broncos all day, NFL playoffs
- 1:22Speaker 2: all day. But just quickly, the Kyle Tucker signing by
- 1:26Speaker 2: the Dodgers, which is four years, two hundred and forty
- 1:28Speaker 2: million dollars. It's sixty million a year. So if you
- 1:32Speaker 2: include deferred payments, the Dodgers right now are on the
- 1:35Speaker 2: hook for two point one billion dollars in guaranteed cash
- 1:38Speaker 2: to the roster.
- 1:38Speaker 5: It seem fair to you, does it seem? Oh?
- 1:41Speaker 4: No, of course not.
- 1:41Speaker 5: They're they're within the rules, so they're doing what the
- 1:44Speaker 5: rules say they can do. But you can't tell me
- 1:47Speaker 5: that this isn't a joke. And I'm telling you right now, dude,
- 1:50Speaker 5: if baseball doesn't lock out for a cap in the
- 1:54Speaker 5: twenty seventh season, we'll give them one more. We'll give
- 1:56Speaker 5: him this year. But if they don't lock out for
- 1:59Speaker 5: a cap in the twenty seventh season and fix the
- 2:02Speaker 5: game of baseball, then I'm done with baseball forever.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I think there's good and bad news.
- 2:05Speaker 5: I think, well, I guess the good news would be
- 2:09Speaker 5: that we're going to have a salary cap, or we
- 2:11Speaker 5: got to have a salary cap because this is an
- 2:12Speaker 5: absolute joke. Bread again, just you know it's a joke,
- 2:15Speaker 5: and I know it's a joke.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Just just for two minutes and then we'll get back
- 2:18Speaker 2: to football. The Tucker is signing by the Dodgers, I
- 2:21Speaker 2: think is going to lead to two things. I think
- 2:22Speaker 2: it's going to piss off enough owners in this league
- 2:25Speaker 2: where they are gonna have a lockout. And that's gonna
- 2:26Speaker 2: make me sad because I don't want baseball to go away,
- 2:28Speaker 2: even with the flawed product that it is. I love baseball,
- 2:32Speaker 2: but I think you're gonna find I was just listening
- 2:36Speaker 2: to a clip from David Samson, who used to run
- 2:39Speaker 2: the Marlins. He said, the question is, can you get
- 2:42Speaker 2: eight owners to do this? Dick Monford has already been
- 2:44Speaker 2: on record that he wants a salary cap, So I
- 2:46Speaker 2: don't think you're gonna have any problem getting Dick Monford
- 2:48Speaker 2: to say that out loud, right, so he can be one.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Can you get the Red Zoner, Can you get the
- 2:52Speaker 2: Marlins owner? Can you get you know five others that'll
- 2:55Speaker 2: be like this is insane, I'm not doing this anymore.
- 2:57Speaker 2: And if you have that then you'll have a lockout
- 2:59Speaker 2: and the struggle is going to be what player in
- 3:02Speaker 2: the MLB is going to won a salary cap. They're
- 3:04Speaker 2: all gonna want sixty million dollars a year, and so
- 3:07Speaker 2: it's going to be that battle, and it might take
- 3:09Speaker 2: a while for that to get done.
- 3:10Speaker 4: I mean, taking the entire year.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think the good news is I really
- 3:14Speaker 2: think this signing is like a straw that broke the
- 3:17Speaker 2: camel's back for a lot of these owners, because they're
- 3:19Speaker 2: just sitting there. They're like, if I cultivate a player
- 3:21Speaker 2: and I get him to a level where it's like
- 3:23Speaker 2: we're going to pay him, I can't do seven hundred
- 3:26Speaker 2: million over ten years and keep a roster together.
- 3:29Speaker 5: Brett.
- 3:29Speaker 4: I have a friend of mine, longtime buddy of mine.
- 3:31Speaker 4: We we always debate sports, and he's a Dodgers fan.
- 3:35Speaker 4: Even he is embarrassed by this. Even he because I
- 3:39Speaker 4: asked him. I said it to him. I was like,
- 3:41Speaker 4: come on, He's like, I know, it's getting stupid now. Yeah.
- 3:44Speaker 4: That was his reaction, you know it is. It wasn't
- 3:47Speaker 4: one of those oh yeah. It was like, okay, enough enough,
- 3:51Speaker 4: this is getting and I want to add to that
- 3:54Speaker 4: and will you guys, do you guys promise just just
- 3:57Speaker 4: us here. He promised not to make fun of me
- 4:00Speaker 4: if I admit something.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Sure, I make no such promise.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Just please don't handle me with care. I will try
- 4:09Speaker 4: my best handle me with care. So the Rockies and
- 4:13Speaker 4: this is on me. I'm gonna open up by saying
- 4:16Speaker 4: this is on me. Entirely on me. I've been paying attention.
- 4:19Speaker 4: I've lost my way. I've lost my way with baseball.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I just have. So the Rockies signed somebody yesterday and
- 4:28Speaker 4: I'm reading about him right now, and my immediate reaction
- 4:31Speaker 4: is I'd never heard of this human being. Who's Willie Castro.
- 4:37Speaker 2: He's not like some household type of name. It's even
- 4:42Speaker 2: guys who really follow baseball, Like, he's not somebody that
- 4:44Speaker 2: everybody knows about. He's just sort of a journeyman in
- 4:47Speaker 2: the league. He's played for three different teams. This will
- 4:48Speaker 2: be his fourth. Like that's whatever.
- 4:52Speaker 5: He's gonna be your third basement probably, I.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Mean, yeah, yeah, he will.
- 4:56Speaker 4: But that therein lies the issue with what's happened to
- 5:00Speaker 4: the sport with me. I wish I were more engaged.
- 5:03Speaker 4: There was There was never a time where I wouldn't
- 5:05Speaker 4: know a signing a player I don't know who.
- 5:08Speaker 5: He is, Vic, don't. I don't blame you. It's because
- 5:13Speaker 5: I don't know Brett. I just I'm so turned off
- 5:15Speaker 5: by what I see. There has to be you know,
- 5:19Speaker 5: when you go back to the lost season in the
- 5:21Speaker 5: National Hockey League and it was painful, dude, the whole
- 5:24Speaker 5: year was gone, the whole year.
- 5:26Speaker 4: He was an American League All Star in twenty twenty
- 5:28Speaker 4: four for the Minnesota Twins.
- 5:30Speaker 5: Yeah, it's awesome. Why wouldn't I know that? Because he's
- 5:35Speaker 5: just sort of bounced around and bumped around a little. Okay,
- 5:37Speaker 5: it was with you Tigers, I think, and the Twins and.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Okay, well this is where it gets a little bit.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Do you want to know why he was an All
- 5:46Speaker 2: Star in twenty twenty four for the Twins because the
- 5:49Speaker 2: Twins weren't that great and they were looking for a
- 5:51Speaker 2: guy to put on the roster. It's like, if you
- 5:52Speaker 2: signed Elias Diaz this year and some team did, would
- 5:56Speaker 2: they know Elias Diaz he was the MVP of the
- 5:58Speaker 2: All Star Game three years ago?
- 5:59Speaker 4: Or you know what I mean?
- 6:00Speaker 2: Like every team gets a guy in name.
- 6:03Speaker 4: The only member of the Rockies starting staff, pitching staff,
- 6:07Speaker 4: who's pitched to no hitter.
- 6:10Speaker 5: Ever?
- 6:10Speaker 4: Yeah? Well though no, right now, I'm sorry the current staff.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Uh, Lorenzen? Who they sign?
- 6:22Speaker 4: Yes, yes, trick question here.
- 6:24Speaker 2: You know what's funny though, is that?
- 6:26Speaker 5: Oh they just signed him?
- 6:28Speaker 4: So thanks, thanks for the breaking news.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Most just just just quickly on this because I don't
- 6:33Speaker 2: think I brought this up with you guys yet. I
- 6:36Speaker 2: am cautiously, cautiously optimistic about this, this new regime in charge,
- 6:41Speaker 2: because I think, at least with Lorenzen, it's a really
- 6:44Speaker 2: smart signing from this standpoint. If he's bad, who cares,
- 6:47Speaker 2: then it's one year, eight million dollars and it doesn't matter.
- 6:50Speaker 2: If he's good, then maybe the Rockies are decent, and
- 6:54Speaker 2: then you got a good picture. And if he's good
- 6:55Speaker 2: in the Rockies, think then you can flip him for
- 6:57Speaker 2: something of the deadline. Like I think, it's a really
- 6:59Speaker 2: smart movie, totally.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Great kind of moves. I totally agree. I mean, and
- 7:03Speaker 4: you know what, all these very smart moves, what do
- 7:05Speaker 4: they matter when you got the Dodger signing to dude
- 7:08Speaker 4: for two hundred and forty Nie, I.
- 7:09Speaker 5: Want to get off of this because this is a show.
- 7:12Speaker 5: This is not a segment. It's not even half a segment.
- 7:14Speaker 5: It's not a quarter of a segment. This is a
- 7:16Speaker 5: show but baseball. And I'm gonna say this, but again
- 7:19Speaker 5: going back to I didn't finish my thought the abs
- 7:23Speaker 5: the lost year for the National Hockey League, well it
- 7:27Speaker 5: was necessary and the league has never been in a
- 7:29Speaker 5: healthier shape than it is right this second because of
- 7:32Speaker 5: that lost year, because of the lockout. If baseball does
- 7:36Speaker 5: not lockout in twenty twenty seven, then baseball is doomed.
- 7:39Speaker 5: At least it is in my eyes. I will not
- 7:41Speaker 5: go back to baseball. I'm pissed this this. I mean,
- 7:44Speaker 5: everything that's happened over the past couple three five years
- 7:48Speaker 5: with the Dodgers has made me angry. Now this is
- 7:51Speaker 5: over the top, bad, over the top.
- 7:54Speaker 4: I want to say it. And you don't want to
- 7:55Speaker 4: get mosure angry. That's when you know you've reached the bottom.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Texas says, keep your calming nonsense to yourself. Capitalism says,
- 8:01Speaker 2: you pay a person what they're worth. If shohe a
- 8:03Speaker 2: tony's worth a billion dollars, you pay a billion dollars.
- 8:05Speaker 2: That's fine.
- 8:06Speaker 5: Uh.
- 8:06Speaker 2: There's also rules in a capitalistic society against monopolies, which
- 8:10Speaker 2: the Dodgers have kind of formed in the mL.
- 8:12Speaker 5: And it's not only it's not only that, but it's
- 8:14Speaker 5: also listened. You know, Steve's House of Screws and Bolts
- 8:18Speaker 5: can put Brett's House of Screws and Bolts out of business, okay,
- 8:21Speaker 5: because they do better business and they blah blah blah.
- 8:24Speaker 5: In pro sports, you can't put other teams out of business. Bro,
- 8:27Speaker 5: you can't do it. You need those other teams to survive.
- 8:32Speaker 2: It's fine, Sorry, I'm sorry, we did this.
- 8:34Speaker 4: We can get off.
- 8:35Speaker 5: You're such a jerk. Yes, stop them, stop it.
- 8:38Speaker 2: So so going back, by the.
- 8:40Speaker 5: Way, I'm as capitalist as they come.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Go back, go back, going back to the to the
- 8:43Speaker 2: NFL playoffs and what the Broncos are facing.
- 8:46Speaker 4: Then why are you always looking for money? If that's
- 8:48Speaker 4: the case, why you always need money from me?
- 8:51Speaker 5: Because he's a capitalist, Because you're the cash guy and
- 8:57Speaker 5: I'm the card guy. That's the difference.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Go ahead, Probably why you're always looking for money?
- 9:02Speaker 2: We said earlier this week, and it got all those
- 9:09Speaker 2: low IQ ingrates out there near Niagara Falls in a lather.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Uh that you need to stop the run game in
- 9:18Speaker 2: James Cook and make Josh Allen one dimensional. And what
- 9:20Speaker 2: they didn't understand was that's not because we thought Josh
- 9:23Speaker 2: Allen was bad at throwing the football. It's that if
- 9:25Speaker 2: you make him one dimensional, then your defensive line and
- 9:28Speaker 2: your front seven that has been the best in the
- 9:29Speaker 2: league for two straight years of getting after the quarterback
- 9:32Speaker 2: can just focus solely on that detail and maybe that
- 9:34Speaker 2: makes things a lot more difficult for Josh Allen. God,
- 9:39Speaker 2: I wish JK. Dobbins was healthy in this game because
- 9:42Speaker 2: of the Broncos had a run game. That would really help.
- 9:44Speaker 2: If you guys remember when JK. Dobbins was healthy through
- 9:46Speaker 2: what it was at ten or eleven games this year,
- 9:48Speaker 2: I think ten, they were top five in the league,
- 9:53Speaker 2: or at least he was in rushing oples through that timeframe,
- 9:56Speaker 2: and that has not happened since then. And you just
- 9:59Speaker 2: don't have It's it's not like JK. Dobbins had this
- 10:03Speaker 2: burst or explosion like some of the better backs in
- 10:05Speaker 2: the league'r Bjeon Robinson's, your Gibbs is your guys like that.
- 10:09Speaker 2: But God, was he consistent? Right every time he touched
- 10:12Speaker 2: the football, it felt like four or five yards and
- 10:14Speaker 2: you haven't had that since.
- 10:16Speaker 5: And R. J.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Harvey's good for maybe one explosion play a game, but
- 10:20Speaker 2: it's a lot of negative ones in no gains mixed
- 10:24Speaker 2: in between, and that puts a lot of pressure on
- 10:26Speaker 2: bo Nicks and Vick. You asked the question earlier, do
- 10:29Speaker 2: you think that Sean Payton will stick with the run game?
- 10:31Speaker 2: Will you have a good balance between run and pass?
- 10:34Speaker 2: And I get really nervous in a high pressure situation
- 10:37Speaker 2: like this if they don't have success earlier running the football,
- 10:40Speaker 2: that could leave quickly. And it would be almost hard
- 10:45Speaker 2: for me to blame him, because you're gonna feel a
- 10:49Speaker 2: mounting pressure going up against Josh Allen to keep up
- 10:52Speaker 2: with the Joneses, to move the chains, to keep them
- 10:54Speaker 2: off the field. You can't put that much pressure on
- 10:56Speaker 2: your defense. How much should bow Nix be running the football?
- 11:00Speaker 2: Is my question?
- 11:01Speaker 4: Well that I was going to say, you make up
- 11:04Speaker 4: for that in having your quarterback, especially in the postseason
- 11:06Speaker 4: when everything is on the line.
- 11:08Speaker 2: But what if he gets hurt?
- 11:09Speaker 4: Who cares? Man?
- 11:10Speaker 2: Playoffs?
- 11:10Speaker 4: Everything is on the line, Everything is on the line here.
- 11:14Speaker 4: This is no time to keep them in bubble wrap. Yeah,
- 11:18Speaker 4: there's an opportunity to move the ball up field. I
- 11:21Speaker 4: guarantee you there will be occasions in this game tomorrow
- 11:23Speaker 4: where it's going to be third and seven drops back
- 11:26Speaker 4: to pass and fans are yelling at their screen run it.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there should be. Look, one of the
- 11:34Speaker 2: most successful plays that Broncos have had consistently this year
- 11:37Speaker 2: is bo Nicks taken off and running. Am I wrong?
- 11:42Speaker 2: It never feels like when bo Nicks takes off and runs,
- 11:45Speaker 2: it's a bad plan. Now a lot of times that's
- 11:47Speaker 2: not like designed runs or anything like that. But I
- 11:51Speaker 2: think you get in kind of bowzier and be like, hey,
- 11:54Speaker 2: this is an all hands on deck kind of game.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Don't feel the need to try and prove your pocket.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Go out and do whatever's gonna move the chains for us.
- 12:04Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you this, Brett, the guy on the
- 12:06Speaker 5: other side has done it, can do it. Is bigger
- 12:10Speaker 5: and stronger and so on. But he's going to run. Yeah, yeah,
- 12:14Speaker 5: guy on the other the guy on the other side
- 12:16Speaker 5: is going to run the football. And if you want
- 12:20Speaker 5: to call it Josh Allen light or dollar store Josh Allen,
- 12:24Speaker 5: I don't care. I completely agree with you. Guys. Get
- 12:27Speaker 5: out of the pocket and run.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Just out of curiosity. If you guys had to guess.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Josh Allen basically single handedly willed that offense to a
- 12:35Speaker 2: victory against Jacksonville last week. It was a tough game
- 12:38Speaker 2: offensively for him. He just had to make plays happen.
- 12:40Speaker 2: How many runs do you think he had?
- 12:43Speaker 4: Well, is to push a run. That's a run, correct. Okay,
- 12:46Speaker 4: So I'm going to I'm gonna put that only two
- 12:48Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills carried the ball last week, James Cook and
- 12:52Speaker 4: Josh Allen. Yep, I'll say that Alan carried it nine
- 12:55Speaker 4: times most.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I'll say eleven eleven time. Yeah, eleven, James Cook at fifteen,
- 13:02Speaker 2: by the way, and by the.
- 13:04Speaker 5: Way, when he's when he's rumbling, he's a big guy.
- 13:08Speaker 5: There was one. There was one collision on the near sideline, uh,
- 13:12Speaker 5: sort of the middle of the second quarter in that game,
- 13:15Speaker 5: and the linebacker got him and got him pretty good.
- 13:18Speaker 5: But you know what he did. He got the linebacker
- 13:21Speaker 5: pretty good, dude. I mean he he at the end
- 13:25Speaker 5: of that run. I don't know that I'd recommend it,
- 13:27Speaker 5: but he punished. And I'm like, wow, this guy, he's
- 13:30Speaker 5: tough as nails. This guy, he really is you just
- 13:33Speaker 5: by the way he said this week. He said this
- 13:35Speaker 5: week that it's the best he's felt in weeks. Now,
- 13:37Speaker 5: that could be, that could be a bunch of bunk,
- 13:40Speaker 5: But he came through. I mean, I guess he feels
- 13:43Speaker 5: pretty good. I don't know.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I mean, there's no doubt that he's beat up a
- 13:46Speaker 2: little bit. I mean, he's got three different injuries listed
- 13:48Speaker 2: on the Bill's injury report heading into the game this week.
- 13:51Speaker 2: And he's still gonna play, obviously, But I don't think
- 13:55Speaker 2: there's there's no can't be Cam Newton in the Super Bowl.
- 14:01Speaker 2: If that football is laying on the ground, you got
- 14:03Speaker 2: to jump after the football like whatever it takes to
- 14:06Speaker 2: move the chains, especially against this team, and god would it.
- 14:11Speaker 2: It's such a great opportunity for revenge. How often do
- 14:14Speaker 2: you get, by the way, you face a team in
- 14:15Speaker 2: the postseason that knocks you out, and you get them
- 14:17Speaker 2: again the following year, right out of the gates, especially
- 14:22Speaker 2: when it flipped around. Yeah, with the game being at home,
- 14:25Speaker 2: I think everything should be on the table and they
- 14:28Speaker 2: should have a plan in place. If R. J. Harvey
- 14:31Speaker 2: and Jaliel or whoever is running the football just can't
- 14:34Speaker 2: seem to get things going, draw something up for bo
- 14:37Speaker 2: because it works. He's fast as hell, man, Like, I
- 14:40Speaker 2: still don't think people quite understand how athletic he is.
- 14:43Speaker 2: When he takes off and he's at full speed, He's
- 14:46Speaker 2: like not fast for a quarterback or whatever. He's legit
- 14:50Speaker 2: fast can get by people. Has to be looking fast when.
- 14:55Speaker 5: He runs the ball.
- 14:55Speaker 4: He looks fast to me, But we noticed that first
- 14:58Speaker 4: training camp he was faster. And yeah, every quarterback there,
- 15:02Speaker 4: how how much? How much patience do you think they
- 15:05Speaker 4: will display running the football? That's that's the question, Like
- 15:09Speaker 4: if it doesn't work the first couple of times, did
- 15:12Speaker 4: they go back to it?
- 15:13Speaker 2: I don't think there's only one guy.
- 15:15Speaker 5: There's only one guy that knows the answer to that.
- 15:17Speaker 5: Vict he ain't talking now.
- 15:19Speaker 2: I do think Sean Payton said something about that yesterday
- 15:22Speaker 2: and and you know, we'll get to that when we
- 15:25Speaker 2: come back, but he did there was something along the
- 15:29Speaker 2: lines of writing run the ball in his playsheet again.
- 15:33Speaker 2: And I still think just muscle memory is gonna take over.
- 15:37Speaker 2: And if that's not successful, then he's gonna have a

- 16:14Speaker 2: minutes as we break down all of that on a
- 16:16Speaker 2: bud Light Football Friday back after this. As a play caller,
- 16:21Speaker 2: how difficult is it just stick with the run that
- 16:23Speaker 2: when it might not be working, especially.
- 16:24Speaker 6: Early again, I look, I'll make a note on the sheet,
- 16:28Speaker 6: you know, Ron, it's important. The thing that I have
- 16:34Speaker 6: to continue to that changes as you get older is
- 16:40Speaker 6: you still have to be quick.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Sean Payton yesterday at the presser, as we head into
- 16:49Speaker 2: what are we getting closed to twenty six hours away
- 16:54Speaker 2: from kickoff.
- 16:54Speaker 4: Essentially, he acknowledged it gotta be quicker with the play call.
- 16:57Speaker 4: Let's go, come on, let's go.
- 17:00Speaker 5: I know you're gonna be at the game tomorrow. I
- 17:01Speaker 5: know that, Brett. What are you going to be doing.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Watching?
- 17:08Speaker 5: Yeah, well I'm gonna gether.
- 17:10Speaker 4: He's swimming.
- 17:12Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think he's swimming. Yeah, he's doing he's
- 17:15Speaker 5: doing breaststrokes up and down the local pool.
- 17:18Speaker 4: What kind of question is that?
- 17:20Speaker 2: It's a great Well, that's a great question about his question.
- 17:22Speaker 5: Yeah, I've invited my questions brother in law Bob over
- 17:27Speaker 5: whom you all know. And I'm getting up early to
- 17:31Speaker 5: make ribs. Dude, I'm going to start the ribs on
- 17:33Speaker 5: the smoker like early early in the morning. Right, I'm
- 17:36Speaker 5: getting yeah, information, newspaper alert, the newspaper. Get this record this, gizete,
- 17:44Speaker 5: you better get this. I'm getting full on ribbed for
- 17:47Speaker 5: this game, bro full on ribbed. Now, if you don't
- 17:50Speaker 5: want to get ribbed, that's your own business. But I
- 17:54Speaker 5: choose this is mos now, I choose to get ribbed
- 17:58Speaker 5: on a football Saturday.
- 17:59Speaker 7: At two third end of story, go ahead, is this
- 18:02Speaker 7: over compensating for us being called commi's earlier.
- 18:09Speaker 5: I'm adopt the new dog too. Yeah, that's I'm gonna
- 18:12Speaker 5: we'll get him in the morning. We get ribbed and
- 18:14Speaker 5: get a new dog.
- 18:17Speaker 2: So what he was talking about sticking with the run game,
- 18:24Speaker 2: you know, getting stuff in quicker. This is I think
- 18:28Speaker 2: a judgment too on Sean Payton and his play calling
- 18:33Speaker 2: ability here in Denver. There's been a lot of questions
- 18:37Speaker 2: about it. Obviously, it's been good enough to have a
- 18:39Speaker 2: fourteen win season. It's been good enough to turn this
- 18:41Speaker 2: thing around, and you know, lightning speed essentially for where
- 18:45Speaker 2: this team's at right now. But let's tell you something
- 18:50Speaker 2: I still think key to this game is can the
- 18:55Speaker 2: offense just look decent? Can you give me a decent
- 18:58Speaker 2: amount of third down conversion rate? Can you give me
- 19:01Speaker 2: a decent amount of rushing yards? Can you not turn
- 19:05Speaker 2: the ball over? Can you give me just a couple
- 19:07Speaker 2: explosion plays? Can you do things to make Buffalo's defense nervous?
- 19:12Speaker 2: And we've seen the Broncos offense and I think it's
- 19:17Speaker 2: the offense more than anything else. God, dude, they play
- 19:21Speaker 2: up and down. It's like they do the bare minimum
- 19:24Speaker 2: of what's necessary to win a football game. You play
- 19:27Speaker 2: against Tennessee, all right, we'll give you a twenty points
- 19:30Speaker 2: to the late touchdown. Okay, we'll do that.
- 19:32Speaker 5: You play against stupid Jets. Stupid Jets.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we're gonna score thirteen points and that's gonna
- 19:37Speaker 2: be enough to win. You play against Green Bay, it's like,
- 19:40Speaker 2: all right, we'll put up thirty some because that's what
- 19:42Speaker 2: we're gonna need today. They have done that, and I
- 19:46Speaker 2: just hope that God, can you give me a game
- 19:50Speaker 2: like last year or they came out of the gates
- 19:52Speaker 2: first drive, big touchdown to start the game. You gave
- 19:57Speaker 2: everybody hope. Was what wasn't thirteen to ten and a
- 20:01Speaker 2: half last year against Buffalo before things started to fall apart.
- 20:05Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's mister field goal. They had a chance
- 20:07Speaker 4: to have it tied. So yeah, listen, and no point
- 20:10Speaker 4: in this game, I think will le Bronco fan feel comfortable.
- 20:13Speaker 4: That's just not allowed.
- 20:15Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
- 20:17Speaker 4: Not in the playoffs. This is gonna be very uncomfortable.
- 20:19Speaker 2: And not against that guy. If they have a fourteen
- 20:21Speaker 2: point lead in the fourth quarter, I mean they are
- 20:23Speaker 2: gonna be comfortable.
- 20:24Speaker 4: I give you, I give you a classic example. Do
- 20:27Speaker 4: you remember a game earlier this season with a new
- 20:29Speaker 4: England Patriots at home, jumped out to a twenty one
- 20:32Speaker 4: nothing lead over Buffalo. And what happened.
- 20:37Speaker 2: The march.
- 20:38Speaker 4: Yeah, Buffalo came back and won that game thirty five
- 20:40Speaker 4: thirty one. It was twenty one nothing, New England at home,
- 20:46Speaker 4: no lead to say for either team. This is playoff football, baby,
- 20:51Speaker 4: it's gonna be There's gonna be some anxious moments.
- 20:54Speaker 5: Why do I I'm airing to the side of scared.
- 20:58Speaker 5: I'm airing to this side of Freddy Cat and I
- 21:03Speaker 5: don't want to, but I go back to last week,
- 21:05Speaker 5: and I go back to that Bill's win on the
- 21:07Speaker 5: road at Jacksonville, and if you want to do comparative
- 21:11Speaker 5: type of things, and what Jacksonville did here in Mile
- 21:14Speaker 5: High about a month ago, and then you look at
- 21:17Speaker 5: what Buffalo did to Trevor Lawrence and whatnot. You know,
- 21:20Speaker 5: Lawrence ran the ball for thirty one yards in that game,
- 21:23Speaker 5: which is what Boonix is going to have to do
- 21:25Speaker 5: as well. And it was a tight game late, don't
- 21:26Speaker 5: get me wrong. I mean both teams scored seventeen points
- 21:29Speaker 5: in the in the second half. But the Jacksonville Jaguars
- 21:35Speaker 5: did what we're talking about, and I think the Broncos
- 21:38Speaker 5: defense is better than Jacksonville's, but they did what we're
- 21:40Speaker 5: talking about. They basically stuffed the line. They stuffed Cook.
- 21:44Speaker 5: They he you know, he was held like three yards
- 21:46Speaker 5: per carry, which is pretty damn good against James Cook,
- 21:50Speaker 5: you know.
- 21:50Speaker 4: And down damn good. That's this is the leading rusher
- 21:54Speaker 4: in the NFL. They made him, but they took the
- 21:57Speaker 4: leading rusher in the NFL and said you're not going
- 22:00Speaker 4: to work today. Yeah, but then Buffalo's still won the game. Yeah,
- 22:04Speaker 4: but then what that happened?
- 22:05Speaker 5: Yeah, then Josh Allen said, okay, fine, all of a
- 22:08Speaker 5: quarterback rating of one hundred and nine will pass. Yeah,
- 22:12Speaker 5: that's what That's why I'm leaning to this side Brett,
- 22:14Speaker 5: where I'm just like goalie. Even if you execute your
- 22:17Speaker 5: game plan the way you want to defensively, and you
- 22:19Speaker 5: stuff Cook and you stuff him and you stuff him,
- 22:22Speaker 5: you've got that seventeen back there. Man, who's just that
- 22:26Speaker 5: final drive down the field including the toush push. But still,
- 22:30Speaker 5: I mean, the guy's a hell of a player. I mean,
- 22:32Speaker 5: which I hope you can get to him.
- 22:35Speaker 4: I think this is going to be a high scoring game.
- 22:37Speaker 4: I think, uh, it's it's going to be, and I
- 22:39Speaker 4: don't think there's any way around it. I think the
- 22:41Speaker 4: Broncos are gonna have to just keep pace. I don't
- 22:43Speaker 4: know if Josh Allen as confident as he is now
- 22:46Speaker 4: and what he does, what he did Jacksonville. Good luck.
- 22:50Speaker 4: That's all I can say is good luck. And the
- 22:51Speaker 4: Broncos are going to have to answer every drive with
- 22:53Speaker 4: the big drive of their own. It's going to be
- 22:55Speaker 4: a I believe a high scoring.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Game, high scoring, high scoring.
- 23:01Speaker 4: Thirty four to thirty type game.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Really wow, that's uh, well, I was just gonna ask you,
- 23:07Speaker 2: I mean, how many points do you think the Broncos
- 23:10Speaker 2: have a shot?
- 23:11Speaker 4: That's how I feel.
- 23:12Speaker 5: That's pretty dude. That's pretty heavy, dude.
- 23:14Speaker 4: That's what I feel. That's the feeling I have. It's
- 23:17Speaker 4: a feel.
- 23:18Speaker 2: So if that's the case, do you think the Broncos
- 23:20Speaker 2: could get blown out tomorrow?
- 23:22Speaker 5: Well?
- 23:22Speaker 4: Not if at thirty four to thirty.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying, like, if if you think the
- 23:27Speaker 2: Bills can score above thirty points, the Broncos had a
- 23:29Speaker 2: tough time reaching thirty this year, Like, do you think
- 23:32Speaker 2: that that's a possibility.
- 23:34Speaker 5: That's where I'm getting back to it. Okay, so do
- 23:36Speaker 5: you believe? And again, Jacksonville came in at thirteen and four,
- 23:39Speaker 5: Broncos are at fourteen and three. Are our bow Nixon
- 23:43Speaker 5: company offensively against that Bill's defense which is getting better?
- 23:47Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 23:48Speaker 5: I know they have injuries. Are they gonna put up
- 23:50Speaker 5: more than the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Did at home? Here's the way I think, coach Okay,
- 23:54Speaker 4: then lay it out. Here's the way I see it.
- 23:56Speaker 4: They've got a coach over there. We've talked to this man.
- 24:00Speaker 4: He probably worried about his job. Yeah, I mean he's
- 24:04Speaker 4: in the divisional playoff and he's probably worried about his job.
- 24:07Speaker 4: I think Joe Brady there oc that coaching staff, and
- 24:11Speaker 4: that quarterback. Fourth downs won't matter. They're gonna go for it.
- 24:17Speaker 4: They're they're gonna go for.
- 24:19Speaker 5: It all day.
- 24:20Speaker 4: Yeah, that alone is going to promote more offense. The
- 24:23Speaker 4: Broncos have a coach who's born aggressive. That's what he is,
- 24:27Speaker 4: it's what he does, it's who he is. I think
- 24:30Speaker 4: you combine both of those forces, you're gonna have a
- 24:32Speaker 4: high scoring game tomorrow. And it's nothing against the Broncos defense.
- 24:36Speaker 4: You're just taking on an offense that is in that
- 24:38Speaker 4: nothing to lose, we can't afford to do anything less
- 24:42Speaker 4: than that mode. That's the mode they're going to be in.
- 24:45Speaker 5: Thank you Bred, you weren't here yesterday. You weren't here yesterday.
- 24:48Speaker 5: This is again. Josh Ellen is what twenty nine years old?
- 24:52Speaker 5: What is he? Twenty nine? Yes? No, yeah, twenty nine.
- 24:56Speaker 5: He's in that. Look. If I don't do it now,
- 25:00Speaker 5: when am I going to do? What type of mode?
- 25:02Speaker 4: If not now?
- 25:02Speaker 5: Then I think Yeah, I think McDermott's in the same
- 25:05Speaker 5: kind of thing. They're probably Vicis you said, they're going
- 25:09Speaker 5: to be ultra aggressive even on fourth down, and they're
- 25:13Speaker 5: probably going to be somewhat unpredictable. I mean, I think
- 25:16Speaker 5: that they look at it and say, crap, we've been
- 25:18Speaker 5: fighting now for six years, five six years, every series
- 25:22Speaker 5: position and they've not been able to get over that
- 25:24Speaker 5: final hump. I think they're gonna throw caution to the
- 25:27Speaker 5: freaking win. Maybe that's a little bit more scary than anything.
- 25:31Speaker 4: Yes, I think every every damn possession is gonna be
- 25:34Speaker 4: four down territory, right, every series four down territory from
- 25:38Speaker 4: the very get go, so get used to it, and
- 25:40Speaker 4: the Broncos defense at times are gonna have to make
- 25:42Speaker 4: some plays via the turnover. You're gonna have to take
- 25:44Speaker 4: the ball away to stop them.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Uh, there's a really boring thing about this game, but
- 25:50Speaker 2: I think it's important. Like obviously, if you're settling for
- 25:54Speaker 2: field goals as opposed to getting touchdowns, that's going to
- 25:56Speaker 2: be a killer. You get in the red zone, you
- 25:58Speaker 2: gotta score a touchdown, man, you have to. I think
- 26:01Speaker 2: that Will LUTs is gonna be really important tomorrow and
- 26:05Speaker 2: he's been really good since.
- 26:07Speaker 4: Matt Braider meanwhile, has a quad injury that he's dealing with.
- 26:10Speaker 4: He didn't even practice yesterday, and I know for a kicker, yeah,
- 26:13Speaker 4: he just give it time to relax. But could be
- 26:16Speaker 4: a factor.
- 26:16Speaker 5: We'll see.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Can you believe Matt Brater, forty one years old, is
- 26:20Speaker 4: coming back to Denver to kick in this game?
- 26:22Speaker 5: Yeah, it's crazy.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Let's is He really is a weapon for you though,
- 26:30Speaker 2: Like he is an incredibly solid kicker that just doesn't
- 26:35Speaker 2: miss really all that often. And you get to the postseason.
- 26:41Speaker 2: I mean, you said it, Vic. I don't know if
- 26:43Speaker 2: it changes much of how the second half went last year.
- 26:49Speaker 2: You make that field goal at halftime, though it's a
- 26:50Speaker 2: ten to ten ball game. Maybe the feel's totally different
- 26:52Speaker 2: that it's tied going into it, and it's like, man,
- 26:55Speaker 2: I can't believe we're.
- 26:55Speaker 4: Here, thirty four to thirty high scoring game.
- 27:05Speaker 5: Let me establish, yeah, let me let me establish this.
- 27:10Speaker 5: Is this VIC talking or is this Vic's loins talking?
- 27:14Speaker 5: Which one is?
- 27:14Speaker 4: Anymore?
- 27:15Speaker 5: They're gone.
- 27:15Speaker 4: It's thirty four to thirty.
- 27:19Speaker 5: I mean, you got some loins left.
- 27:21Speaker 4: Just remember while you're preparing your ribs that deep insight
- 27:24Speaker 4: to game day. Just remember that these are two teams.
- 27:29Speaker 4: One team is going to score because they know they
- 27:32Speaker 4: they're at the end of the road if they don't,
- 27:34Speaker 4: and the other team's got a coach who wants to
- 27:36Speaker 4: show off his offense. I would be stunned if it's
- 27:41Speaker 4: a low scoring game.
- 27:42Speaker 5: Beyonce, you know you're acting like the food that you
- 27:47Speaker 5: prepare for your game day has no effect on the
- 27:50Speaker 5: football game. That's what you're acting like. Now. I can't
- 27:54Speaker 5: prove that it does, but you can't prove that it doesn't.
- 27:57Speaker 5: And my ribs are going to be smoking.
- 27:59Speaker 2: I can't believe you think it's gonna be that high scoring.
- 28:03Speaker 5: I know I can't either. I don't. I don't feel that.
- 28:06Speaker 5: I don't. I don't feel like the Broncos. Listen, I
- 28:09Speaker 5: hope I'm wrong. In fact, let me try to jinx it.
- 28:11Speaker 5: I don't think the Broncos can get the twenty six.
- 28:16Speaker 5: How's that? And they'll probably have thirty at halftime and
- 28:18Speaker 5: I'll be like, eh, jinks. Meanwhile, let's see being let
- 28:24Speaker 5: me let me be let me be serious here for
- 28:26Speaker 5: a second. If the Broncos are not running the football,
- 28:31Speaker 5: it's going to be a very long day for their offense.
- 28:34Speaker 5: They have to run to run the ball.
- 28:36Speaker 4: What makes you think they can run the ball?
- 28:38Speaker 5: Well, dude, the Bills defense, what they do best, and
- 28:41Speaker 5: one of the best in the National Football League is
- 28:43Speaker 5: defend the pass. We had leg wald on yesterday. I
- 28:49Speaker 5: understand that. I understand that. I'm just I'm just telling you.
- 28:53Speaker 5: They do it as a unit very very well. They
- 28:56Speaker 5: disguise very well. Okay, we're gonna find out here in
- 29:01Speaker 5: thirty two hours or whatever it is. You will find
- 29:03Speaker 5: out in thirty two.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Hours the over under in this game, by the ways,
- 29:06Speaker 2: forty five.
- 29:06Speaker 4: And a half. They'll blow that out of the water.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's I get twenty four to twenty one game.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Something like that is what they're expecting. I got up, man,
- 29:22Speaker 2: I got a hard time thinking that there's gonna be
- 29:25Speaker 2: thirty points scored by either team.
- 29:26Speaker 4: Okay, I really do.
- 29:29Speaker 5: Hey, Brett, If thirty points is scored by a team
- 29:32Speaker 5: who has about a seventy five percent chance of being
- 29:34Speaker 5: that team be Buffalo because they've.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Done it multiple times.
- 29:37Speaker 4: Kyle writes, I think it'll be too cold for thirty
- 29:39Speaker 4: four to thirty vic. Did you watch the Chicago game
- 29:42Speaker 4: last week? Was it cold there? By the way the
- 29:44Speaker 4: temperatures in Chicago this weekend?
- 29:46Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, how miserable would that be if you're
- 29:54Speaker 2: a fan going to that game. I would hate it
- 29:56Speaker 2: so much. And all you hardo's out there that are like,
- 29:58Speaker 2: it's football weather, not for me, you know, those idiots.
- 30:03Speaker 2: These sixty degree days that we got here in January,
- 30:06Speaker 2: that's my kind of winter. I like that a lot.
- 30:08Speaker 5: I went. I went to the range and hit some
- 30:09Speaker 5: balls yesterday. It's by myself hitting balls into the wind.
- 30:12Speaker 5: That kind of sucked because it's so windy. But you know,
- 30:15Speaker 5: here I am in the middle of January hitting balls.
- 30:19Speaker 5: But those idiots in Green Bay when it's like two
- 30:21Speaker 5: below and they have no shirts on, right, those guys. Yeah,
- 30:25Speaker 5: And people are like, hey, look at those guys. Eh,
- 30:27Speaker 5: they're having fun. I'm like, I think they're idiots. I
- 30:30Speaker 5: think those people are absolute morons. They can't string it.
- 30:35Speaker 5: They can't Okay, well, yeah.
- 30:37Speaker 4: When you were young, you probably did stuff like that.
- 30:39Speaker 5: Twenty two years old, my shirt off in minus two.
- 30:41Speaker 5: No bro, no.
- 30:43Speaker 4: Bro, you're old and brittle, slow healer.
- 30:47Speaker 5: You're you're the one. You're the one who want it
- 30:49Speaker 5: gets down to fifty. You're bitching because I'm old.
- 30:52Speaker 4: I'd readily admit it. The older I get, the more
- 30:56Speaker 4: sensitive I get to the cold. To me, tomorrow is
- 30:58Speaker 4: going to be very cold.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Just a couple of brittle haired pansy's.
- 31:02Speaker 5: I'm doing this of them.
- 31:06Speaker 4: Listen, I see the difference between you and I. There's
- 31:09Speaker 4: gonna be people that attend that game to them, all
- 31:11Speaker 4: that say this is great, to love it. And if
- 31:14Speaker 4: you put me out in that stadium in those temperatures,
- 31:16Speaker 4: I'm gonna be freezing my butt off no matter how
- 31:18Speaker 4: many layers I wear, because there is man.
- 31:20Speaker 5: Some of my fondest memories that were sitting at Mile
- 31:23Speaker 5: High and have the snow, I'm not moving and have
- 31:26Speaker 5: my beer. The snow piles up on my beer like this,
- 31:29Speaker 5: Brett like this much on top of my bruski and
- 31:32Speaker 5: on my legs. Nothing. Those were fun. Those were actually
- 31:35Speaker 5: fun days, manre memorable. Yeah, now that I think back,
- 31:38Speaker 5: I mean because at the time you're miserable, You're going like,
- 31:40Speaker 5: oh my god, what am I doing? And I gotta
- 31:42Speaker 5: I gotta sift through the snow to get to my beer, right,

- 32:10Speaker 2: Get his thoughts on the Broncos' first home playoff game
- 32:12Speaker 2: in a decade. But let's do this first. What to wear?
- 32:17Speaker 8: It's the Johnsonato Plaza Cheese to the Game, Johnsonado Plaza
- 32:21Speaker 8: experience the power of the Plaza when they had the
- 32:24Speaker 8: Keys to Performance in Style with Ram Cheep, Chevy, Pwick
- 32:26Speaker 8: and gmc ad a huge selection of Houston all in
- 32:29Speaker 8: one place, Johnson Auto Clus Here's Mo Sher Lombardi and.
- 32:32Speaker 2: KS game tonight, Abs and Predators seven o'clock right here
- 32:38Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio ninety two five Keys to the Game mode.
- 32:41Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what. You're gonna have both your
- 32:43Speaker 5: goalies available to you. And this is the first of
- 32:46Speaker 5: a back to back for the Nashville Predators. And what
- 32:48Speaker 5: I tell you, they've been playing better hockey. They have
- 32:52Speaker 5: the third most amount of points in the league since Thanksgiving.
- 32:56Speaker 5: They got off to a six and twelve start, and
- 32:58Speaker 5: you're going, oh, okay, well they're completely out of it.
- 33:01Speaker 5: They were in last place in the Western Conference. But
- 33:04Speaker 5: Roman Yosi is starting to play much better hockey. They
- 33:07Speaker 5: got an overtime win against the Oilers the last time out.
- 33:10Speaker 5: They're looking to go three games above five hundred for
- 33:14Speaker 5: the first time this season. So they're playing good. So
- 33:18Speaker 5: what I'm saying is you can't just come on out
- 33:19Speaker 5: and act like, oh yeah, you're gonna roll over the
- 33:22Speaker 5: Nashville Predators. But here's what you are doing well. Even
- 33:25Speaker 5: when you have lulls in the course of a game,
- 33:27Speaker 5: you're still putting the puck in the back of the net.
- 33:29Speaker 5: You're averaging four goals per game. In your last ten games,
- 33:34Speaker 5: you're averaging two point two goals given up, which is
- 33:37Speaker 5: way better than what the Preds have done. The Preds
- 33:39Speaker 5: are almost a goal giving up more per game. I
- 33:42Speaker 5: would just say keep the pressure on whomever. Well, I'm
- 33:46Speaker 5: guessing it's gonna be sorrows. I'm guessing he's going to go.
- 33:49Speaker 5: His safe percentage is not good. Keep the pressure up
- 33:51Speaker 5: on that goalie early. But who's ever between the pipes
- 33:54Speaker 5: for your team. Blackwood hasn't played for a while, Wedgewood's
- 33:57Speaker 5: been out for a week now, almost full week. So
- 34:02Speaker 5: protect your goalie in the early going. Get him into
- 34:04Speaker 5: the game nice and smoothly, and you're gonna be good
- 34:06Speaker 5: to go.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Keys to the Game brought to you by Johnson Autoplaza.
- 34:10Speaker 2: He get selection service and incredible savings on Ram Jeep, Chevy,
- 34:13Speaker 2: Buelick and gmc all at one location. Experience the power
- 34:16Speaker 2: of the Plaza at Johnson Autoplaza. The ABS ho is
- 34:19Speaker 2: the Predators tonight at Ballerina. You can hear that action
- 34:21Speaker 2: on ninety two five. Free game coverage starts at six thirty,
- 34:23Speaker 2: powered by Romo's Law, medical doctor, and attorney. So just
- 34:28Speaker 2: quickly here. We'll talk to Chad Brown at the top
- 34:30Speaker 2: of the hour, get his thoughts on the Broncos playoff game,
- 34:35Speaker 2: and we'll get back to it in a second. I
- 34:36Speaker 2: know you guys probably touched on the Dante More thing
- 34:39Speaker 2: yesterday that he's coming back to Oregon for another year.
- 34:42Speaker 4: We didn't mention it, Oh you did not.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Well, it's shocking to me that a guy that is Look,
- 34:51Speaker 2: was he gonna go number one the draft? Now it's
- 34:53Speaker 2: gonna be Mendoza. Could he have gone two maybe? Could
- 34:55Speaker 2: he have gone three?
- 34:56Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 34:57Speaker 2: Could he gone top five probably certainly? And he decided
- 35:02Speaker 2: to come back to college. Why because he is going
- 35:04Speaker 2: to make report at least seven and a half million
- 35:06Speaker 2: dollars to come back to organ So.
- 35:08Speaker 4: Why is it shocking to you?
- 35:10Speaker 2: Because there's a difference here between guaranteed money down the
- 35:13Speaker 2: line and immediate money up front. Seven and a half
- 35:15Speaker 2: million dollars is a lot. I don't think his stock
- 35:18Speaker 2: goes higher than this though, it's not going to go better.
- 35:22Speaker 5: Well, Brett, he was projected. I mean, if you look
- 35:25Speaker 5: at just his talent, people are saying he's the second
- 35:28Speaker 5: round talent. But because he's a quarterback, obviously he would
- 35:31Speaker 5: go higher, higher, higher. But I guess the question is
- 35:34Speaker 5: how much higher and where would he be slotted in
- 35:36Speaker 5: with that contract? I mean, seven and a half million
- 35:38Speaker 5: dollars for one year and then you're in the same
- 35:40Speaker 5: position next year is pretty damn good. It's pretty good.
- 35:43Speaker 2: If you're in the same position, which a whole bunch
- 35:46Speaker 2: of quarterbacks don't get that by it.
- 35:48Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a no lose situation for him.
- 35:51Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what unless he's just awful for organ next year,
- 35:55Speaker 5: and I don't think that he will be. I think
- 35:57Speaker 5: the funniest part about all of that, do you realize
- 36:00Speaker 5: what's happened now? Right that he decided to go back,
- 36:03Speaker 5: You realize what's happened. Yeah, Dylan Royola's got a wait
- 36:06Speaker 5: a year, No, he's leaving again. He is, he's getting
- 36:10Speaker 5: out of I think I heard he's getting out of
- 36:12Speaker 5: Oregon like he was really ed for two days.
- 36:14Speaker 2: I thought the report was that he was even if
- 36:16Speaker 2: he was to come back, he would sit.
- 36:18Speaker 5: A year and he was cool, Look, oh really, But.
- 36:23Speaker 2: I guess here's what I'm getting that vic the difference.
- 36:26Speaker 2: How about this if his draft stock does go down?
- 36:31Speaker 2: And again, there have been quarterbacks where this has happened,
- 36:34Speaker 2: Like I still remember said, I still remember when Andrew
- 36:36Speaker 2: Luck he came back for that that extra year at Stanford,
- 36:40Speaker 2: and I was like, man, that's pretty risky. You were
- 36:42Speaker 2: the guaranteed number one pick, and he ended up being
- 36:44Speaker 2: that anyway. But here's the difference between being the first
- 36:47Speaker 2: pick and the twelfth pick. Caleb Williams is a forty
- 36:51Speaker 2: million dollar deal over four years. Bo Nicks at twelve
- 36:56Speaker 2: has an eighteen million dollar year over four years.
- 36:59Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're looking at it the wrong way. You're
- 37:01Speaker 4: starting the clock a year later, and you're starting the
- 37:03Speaker 4: clock with seven and a half million dollars in your pocket.
- 37:06Speaker 5: Correct.
- 37:06Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is what if he drops to
- 37:08Speaker 2: the second round because he's not as good next year.
- 37:11Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. He's bet on himself.
- 37:12Speaker 2: But I'm just saying that's a risk that you're taking
- 37:15Speaker 2: when you're guaranteed the top ten pack.
- 37:17Speaker 4: I think it's a risk if the money weren't as
- 37:18Speaker 4: high as it is. But since the since the salary
- 37:21Speaker 4: is going to be insane, Yeah, the risk is neutered
- 37:27Speaker 4: until you get all the injury.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Or something like. It's all I'm saying, like, there's there's
- 37:32Speaker 2: a lot of inherent risks here for him that I mean,
- 37:37Speaker 2: I get it's seven half million dollars to play one
- 37:38Speaker 2: more year at college football. Sounds like a.
- 37:40Speaker 4: Great deal, by the way, that's insane.
- 37:42Speaker 2: It is insane, yes, But I'll tell you something else
- 37:44Speaker 2: and just a piggyback off this. You want to know
- 37:48Speaker 2: how much nil and this money has changed the way
- 37:51Speaker 2: the draft goes goes around. I remember was it last year?
- 37:56Speaker 2: Two years ago? There was a couple GMS talking about this.
- 37:59Speaker 2: They go, it's not a very deep draft, kept saying that,
- 38:03Speaker 2: like the first three rounds is kind of where the
- 38:05Speaker 2: players are, and then after that it's just it's really
- 38:07Speaker 2: slim pickens by the way, real.
- 38:09Speaker 5: Quick, I got my information from DMC, and apparently d
- 38:11Speaker 5: MAC got got so there you go.
- 38:13Speaker 2: Okay, okay, as of right now, early entrance into the
- 38:20Speaker 2: NFL Draft early entrance in twenty twenty one. At this time,
- 38:26Speaker 2: there was one hundred and thirty geomany have declared now
- 38:31Speaker 2: early forty two.
- 38:37Speaker 5: Ninety because they're getting paid Brett.
- 38:39Speaker 2: They're getting paid, of course, but that's how much it's
- 38:42Speaker 2: changing things that guys are willing to stay that extra.
- 38:45Speaker 2: If we went back four years ago, zero chance Dante
- 38:48Speaker 2: Morre's coming back for another year.
- 38:49Speaker 4: Zero correct, thought about correct. You know what this has done,
- 38:53Speaker 4: this new era of college sports. It's placed more focus
- 38:59Speaker 4: on the brand that is your college, that is your
- 39:02Speaker 4: team that you follow. It's even more important to follow
- 39:05Speaker 4: the team and less the player, because you know, a
- 39:09Speaker 4: pro sports there are people are fanboys or stands whatever
- 39:13Speaker 4: they call them with certain players. Right happens all the time,
- 39:16Speaker 4: and that player goes to another team and that loyalty
- 39:19Speaker 4: follows to that team. In college football, now college basketball,
- 39:22Speaker 4: college football, the loyalty is strictly with the team because
- 39:26Speaker 4: you don't know who the hell's playing for that team.
- 39:29Speaker 2: You're in your app I'm not saying that I hate
- 39:32Speaker 2: that aspect of it.
- 39:33Speaker 5: VIC.
- 39:33Speaker 2: What I hate is, even if you are a die
- 39:35Speaker 2: hard follower of the team, you have no idea what
- 39:38Speaker 2: team you have. You have no idea the players that
- 39:40Speaker 2: are on your team, No idea is going to fit.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Like there was something special about when you had a
- 39:46Speaker 2: recruiting class that was like a three year window of
- 39:50Speaker 2: mostly the same guys being there, with a few new
- 39:53Speaker 2: ones mixed in every year, and there was some sort
- 39:56Speaker 2: of consistency to knowing what you were getting. I can't
- 39:58Speaker 2: imagine what sports would be like if every year was
- 40:02Speaker 2: free agency.
- 40:02Speaker 4: But this is why you're a fan of the logo. Now,
- 40:04Speaker 4: you're a fan of the team name, you're a fan
- 40:06Speaker 4: of the school. I mean, just put yourself in CU shoes.
- 40:10Speaker 4: You're a CU fan. Who are you rooting for next year?
- 40:15Speaker 4: Besides the quarterback? Who you can identify with the quarterback? Right?
- 40:19Speaker 4: You can identify with the quarterback. Everybody else is going
- 40:22Speaker 4: to be different. You have no idea what to.
- 40:26Speaker 2: Expect, Yeah, Texter says, is he trying to avoid being
- 40:31Speaker 2: drafted by the Jets. I got news for you, buddy,
- 40:35Speaker 2: The Jets and some other awful team are going to
- 40:37Speaker 2: be there to draft you next year. There's no Uh,
- 40:40Speaker 2: don't worry. I'll wait and the Chiefs will take me.
- 40:43Speaker 2: That's not how the draft works.
- 40:44Speaker 4: I just don't think he's that good yet. Maybe he
- 40:47Speaker 4: wants to refine his game could be.
- 40:52Speaker 2: I tend to agree with you, like I don't know
- 40:54Speaker 2: how good Dante More is. I always get it's funny
- 40:58Speaker 2: to say, considering two Oregon quarterbacks reside in the AFC.
- 41:00Speaker 2: West Oregon quarterbacks make me nervous just because they have
- 41:03Speaker 2: a system that's run that mark my words. Whenever Dylan
- 41:08Speaker 2: Roola takes over for Oregon, and I watched a lot
- 41:10Speaker 2: of his football games sitting on the couch next to
- 41:12Speaker 2: my wife. He was not good. He did nothing special,
- 41:15Speaker 2: But he will put up numbers if he plays for Oregon,
- 41:19Speaker 2: because every Oregon quarterback does it. Name one that didn't.
- 41:23Speaker 2: Bo Nicks, justin Herbert, go through the line, Dante More,
- 41:27Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota, just keep going. Final with that to Dennis Dilman,
- 41:31Speaker 2: go through all those Joey Harrington.
- 41:33Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, Okay, you want me to
- 41:35Speaker 5: go all the way back to Joey's. So what you
- 41:36Speaker 5: want me to do, you can't doesn't do it?
- 41:40Speaker 2: Like you play quarterback for Oregon, you put up thirty
- 41:43Speaker 2: five touchdowns in your offense, scores forty points a game.
- 41:45Speaker 2: It like doesn't matter which era you play in, since
- 41:48Speaker 2: like the year two thousand It's been that way since
- 41:50Speaker 2: Phil Night took over.
- 41:52Speaker 5: Yeah, I agreed. We're gonna talk to Chad Brown here momentarily,
- 41:54Speaker 5: are we not. I can't wait. He's probably down in
- 41:57Speaker 5: Arizona having a great time the sun shining. It's got
- 41:59Speaker 5: it too, though. Do you realize that, Josh Allen, how
- 42:02Speaker 5: many games he started in a row? He's it's the
- 42:06Speaker 5: long game.
- 42:07Speaker 4: Is he missed a game or two his rookie season,
- 42:09Speaker 4: he was injured. After that, He's been as durable as
- 42:11Speaker 4: they get. He doesn't miss.
- 42:12Speaker 5: It's the longest active streak in the National Football League.
- 42:16Speaker 5: I don't care what this guy is dealing with. I
- 42:17Speaker 5: don't care if he's got a foot injury, a hand
- 42:20Speaker 5: an elabow with me. I don't care what he's done. Brett,
- 42:23Speaker 5: you know what the streak is.
- 42:25Speaker 2: I don't. It's a lot one and twenty two streak.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Gis yes, So hang on, hang on. I have a question.
- 42:35Speaker 2: This relates to, you know, and when teams have sellout streaks.
- 42:41Speaker 2: There are games that clearly are not sold out, but
- 42:43Speaker 2: a donor will come in and buy a whole bunch
- 42:45Speaker 2: of money to keep the streak going or something like that,
- 42:47Speaker 2: and they will say that streak continues. Josh Allen's had
- 42:51Speaker 2: I think three games in his career during this stretch
- 42:55Speaker 2: in which he's coming and taking a snap and then
- 42:57Speaker 2: left the field. Do you feel like that's cheap?
- 43:01Speaker 5: Yeah? I do, because that's what he did.
- 43:02Speaker 2: The final week of the season, the last regular season game,
- 43:05Speaker 2: they sat everybody down. He took the first snap.
- 43:07Speaker 5: But hand.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Understand, Yes, I get it. I remember Miguel Tahada was
- 43:13Speaker 2: playing for Baltimore and he was he had the longest
- 43:15Speaker 2: streak in the MLB, was like not gonna get to
- 43:17Speaker 2: Cal Ripken level, but it was like gonna be top
- 43:19Speaker 2: three all time. And he took an inside fastball off
- 43:23Speaker 2: his hand. Next day he came out. It was the
- 43:25Speaker 2: leadoff batter on the visiting Uh. They were the road team.
- 43:29Speaker 2: Bunted left.
- 43:31Speaker 4: You know what this is like? We should know. It's
- 43:33Speaker 4: like when Moser takes vacation time and will call the
- 43:36Speaker 4: show thinking that that qualifies as a workday.
- 43:39Speaker 2: That's true. Can't help yourself.
- 43:41Speaker 5: Do you know where? Do you know what Brent Burns
- 43:43Speaker 5: streak is at right now? It's a lot Brent Burns vick.
- 43:47Speaker 5: It's the third longest streak in history.
- 43:50Speaker 4: Games.
- 43:51Speaker 5: Yeah, today, executive games, yep, today, yes, today, Tell me quickly.
- 44:00Speaker 4: Let me, let me, let me just let me just
- 44:01Speaker 4: let me just guess this, and let me guess this.
- 44:03Speaker 4: Eighty two games this season? Does it include postseason?
- 44:06Speaker 5: No? Regular season?
- 44:07Speaker 4: So eighty two games this season?
- 44:10Speaker 2: One games?
- 44:12Speaker 4: I'll say it's one thousand and fifty.
- 44:15Speaker 5: Nine and seventy close?
- 44:17Speaker 2: Wait didn't was keith Yandle sort of the champion of
- 44:21Speaker 2: that one?
- 44:21Speaker 5: Yanal yandal Is is second, so he will catch Yandle?
- 44:26Speaker 2: Uh?
- 44:27Speaker 5: I think next year, early next year if he continues
- 44:29Speaker 5: to play. And the number one is believe it or
- 44:31Speaker 5: how it's Phil Kessel.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well he had an extra padding around him.
- 44:37Speaker 5: Right, take the bumps and bruises.
- 44:40Speaker 2: Chad Brown breaks down the Broncos with us.
- 44:42Speaker 5: Next Vic, Howle do you think Alvin Kamara is today? No,
