  Speaker 1: ESPN dot com. Legy, I know it's not like a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: huge bit of news. It's not a total shock, but
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I'm a little bit surprised that he announced that Nicks
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was the starter before Game three of the preseason.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Does that mean that Nicks won't play in Game three?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they ever intended to have whoever
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the starting quarterback would be playing Game three, But he
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: still was sort of holding that possibility out yesterday that
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: you know, some starters would play, But I don't think
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: many will unless you know it's somebody who hasn't played
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: in the first two say Levi Wallace, you know who's
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: been hurt and just getting back into practice. Maybe a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: guy like that plays Sunday, But I don't think the
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: home crowd, Well, we'll see Nicks, you know, maybe a
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: series at most, but I doubt, I doubt he will
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: play at this point.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Jeffrey, what do you think finally broke Sean Payton into
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: into making it public? Was it the annoying media asking
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: him every time or was it just time on on
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: his watch?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Well, you know I've said, uh, he essentially named bow
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: next to starter last week. He didn't. He just didn't
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: tell Nicks. I mean, uh, Knicks took all of the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: important raps with the starters all week. Last week there
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: was no rotation, and uh that included Friday against Attackers,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: you know, the practice against the Packers. So he had
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: really done this in you know, indeed long before he
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: said anything to bow Knicks, and you know, he even
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: kept it as lackluster possible with Nex. He didn't even
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: tell him til Nix is on the practice field yesterday
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: waiting to start practice and Peyton sort of locked up
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to all three cornerbacks and told them what the deal
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: was and that was it, and then you know, got practice.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So I think you had already done this, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: sort of in front of the team, and this sort
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: of just made it official, you know. But he's mean,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: he's leaned toward next the whole way. I mean Stidham
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: got pulled early in Indy after just twelve snaps so
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: he could get Nix in with the starters. And you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: he's had a couple of team drills even when they
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: were rotating in practice, when when Stidhen sort of got
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the early hook and and Nix put in, you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: with the group in a in a two minute drill
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: or something. So we've seen it go this way, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: yesterday he just made.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Officials Jeff, you indicated early in camp, and I think
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you were only corrected. You know, the guys in the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: room know, and Sean Payton even alluded to that as well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that the other guys, the players know that that Nicks
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: has been running one. They're not dumb, and they I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: think that maybe is in a situation he just had
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to sort of prove himself that, okay, he can handle it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And now you make that decision.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Everybody's comfortable with it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Everybody already knows anyway, But but you kind of had
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to go through the proper steps in protocol to get
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: where you needed to get.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, most I think, you know, there's two ways of
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: doing it, really, and the Bears in it one way.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: You know, they drafted Cale Williams and they told everybody
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that moment he's the starting quarterback. You know, deal with it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: That was kind of how they dealt with it. Uh.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: You know, Sean Payton's from the Parcels school, which is
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: nothing will be handed to you, uh until I'm ready
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to hand it to you. And I think honestly objectively,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: even from talking to people in the building, people in
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the league, and I think, you know, if there was
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: some kind of true seerum Sean Payton would have to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: admit it, but he needed at least a time between
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Nix Insteadham as they went through the competition, and I
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: think he got that. I mean, you know, I think
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Stidham sort of quote one as many days as Bo
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Nicks did in practice. If that's your thing, how you gauge,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: gauge it. And then Knicks played well and that against
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: defensive reserves in two preseason games, so you know, Peyton
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: had the information he needed, and I think most of
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the guys in the locker room felt all along that
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: at some point, whether it's going to be the opener
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: or November, that Bo Knicks was going to be behind
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: center for the teams.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Jeff lakewell ESPN dot Com.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: With this legging, this will be the first time that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a Broncos rookie starts in Week one of the regular
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: season since John Elway. How many other teams have a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: forty one year gap between those.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Well, probably not many, but that's that tells you the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: good fortune the Broncos uh lived in for a long time.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: You know, I think locally here the the eight year
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: playoff drought feels like forever. But there are places in
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the NFL that are like, you know, saying hold my beer.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: You know you're at lway Man and you know Greasy
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: was a pro bowler, Jake Plumber was a pro bowler.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, they've they've had some pretty a pretty good
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: quarterback run in the world of Karmas. So, uh yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I think you know, the Broncos are a rare franchise
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: that you know, Bolan's run was more Super Bowl appearances
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: than losing seasons. So that that's why there's such adapt
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: between rookie starters in Week one.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Just to follow that up, how do you know that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: this is official set expectation for bo Nicks? Is it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: win loss? Is it touched on interception ratio? Is it
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the rhythm of the offense? How do you judge this?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I judge by how the entire organization handles this. Uh
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: you know we've seen we've seen flame out at that
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: position is at an all time high. And in my
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: time cut in the league, I've never seen patients so
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: thin with quarterbacks. And you know, maybe it's the social
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: media where we live in. You know, the constant scrutiny
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: these guys debt, and you know the player can hide
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: from it easy you can just say I don't get
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: on social media, but their families are, their friends are,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: everybody they know is on social media. So it's ever
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: being said, it's just incredible discipline to manage all of
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: that as a quarterback in today's weak especially a young quarterback.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: So I think how the organization handles it. You know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I wrote something for us that says, you know, they're
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: they're all gonna need tooise, not just bow Nicks, but
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the Broncos, Sean Payton, George Peyton, the Penners. Everyone is
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: gonna need poise for this to work. And I'll judge
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: progress by what I see from everybody else around bow
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Dicks as well as Bodicks.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Uh, Jeffrey.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: As far as Sunday's concerned, if Bo's not gonna play,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: is Sunday's gonna is Sunday's game? Could that determine the
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: number two guy, the backup what they do moving forward?
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Nick, I'm it's gonna be the most
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: one of the most intriguing calls. I mean, they're my gut.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: What I'm hearing. What I've been told is they'd like
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: to find a way to keep on three and that
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: would make them significantly an outlier UH in the league
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: these days, especially with the new practice squad rules, there
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: are some teams that are considering only keeping one on
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: the fifty three man roster because you can elevate h
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: that you know, your number two for the practice squad.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: So they like all three. They think all three together
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: is good for bow Knicks two. And I think that's
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: some of it too, that you know, Stidham offers Knicks
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: a support system and that Zach Wilson offers him a
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: support system because of what he's been through with the Jets.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: So they are they going to be able to do it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure yet, but they would like to keep
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: all three if that somehow could work in their fifty
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: three man.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Justin Yeah, I knew absolutely nothing about Zach. Wilson is
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a guy, honestly, and I just knew what I saw
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in New York. But he and stead Of both seem
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: like really good teammates. You know, if you're looking for
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: guys to help a young quarterback or to be there
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: or whatever the case may be, nobody doesn't seem pouting
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: or anything like that. That they all that quarterback room
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: is pretty darn good, Pretty darn close.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, mos, and they have They each have something that
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: bow Knicks could use. I mean, Stidham has been co
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: It's just as hard as you can be coached with Belichick.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: He played behind Brady, he watched, you know, however you
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: feel about quarterbacks, either watched the best ever to do
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: it or one of the mount Rushmore you know guys
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: to do it every day. So Stidham has information very
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: few people have. He has lived close, you know, to
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: the greatest modern dynasty with the greatest quarter winning quarterback
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: in it, and he's been there and seen all that
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: up close. And Zach Wilson has been through probably the
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: worst kind of experience a rookie quarterback in half and
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: he can offer a lot of those things to bow
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Knicks as well. So again, I think they each have
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: something to offer. They work well together, everyone says, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: you can see it, but I think they'd like all
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: three to be around each other for at least this
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: year and then next year. Maybe make the calls who
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: you're gonna pair with bonets moving forward.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is unfair to say, though, like you,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: when he was asked about Sean Payton was asked about
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Zach Wilson the other day. What he said was, my
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: job is to make him millions, whether it's here or elsewhere.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I think his job is actually to make him a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: good quarterback for their team.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I don't think that bodes well for Zach.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean you point out that one, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I could point out four times yesterday when he referenced
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: having all three around right again. You know it's I'm
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: not saying they can pull it off. I'm telling you
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: they'd like to. They would like to have all three,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: whether that really works or not in the real world,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and whether that's two in the roster, one on the
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: practice squad. You know, I don't you know Stinham would
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: be a free agent, so conceivably you could work out
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: some kind of Hey, we're going to release you for
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: a day and bring you back. You know, but you're
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: you're just risking he wouldn't find some better, uh somewhere else.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Jeff LAGWELDESPN dot Com with us again. Bo Nicks named
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the starter officially yesterday by Sean Payton. Did you get
• 12:12

• 12:20
