- 0:01Speaker 1: It's a Bud Light Football Friday as we get ready
- 0:03Speaker 1: for Sunday Night Football. Broncos and Rams had a chance
- 0:07Speaker 1: to talk with J.B. Long, the voice of the Rams,
- 0:09Speaker 1: in the 8 o'clock hour.
- 0:10Speaker 2: It was great.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Good conversation. If you missed it, it'll be on the
- 0:13Speaker 1: podcast shortly. What is it that you think the Broncos
- 0:20Speaker 1: have to do? What are the musts to beat the
- 0:23Speaker 1: Rams this weekend?
- 0:24Speaker 3: They must get to Matthew Stafford.
- 0:26Speaker 2: They must score early. They must avoid turnovers.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Obvious.
- 0:32Speaker 2: That's the popular refrain. And bottom line, they have to
- 0:38Speaker 2: score a lot, not just early, but a lot. And
- 0:41Speaker 2: what a lot is, is you tell me it's 28
- 0:44Speaker 2: points a lot.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Yeah. Yes.
- 0:46Speaker 1: For this team, I think 28 is a lot. And
- 0:48Speaker 1: I think they got to be right around there. The
- 0:50Speaker 1: other thing too, I think you have to play. You
- 0:57Speaker 1: have to play a game. in which they have gotten
- 1:01Speaker 1: away with this. Certainly last week, they didn't the first
- 1:05Speaker 1: week against the chiefs. There's been a lot of procedural
- 1:09Speaker 1: things that they have not done. Well, they have taken
- 1:13Speaker 1: a ton of penalties and dumb ones in the first
- 1:16Speaker 1: couple of weeks, penalties that make third and two, third
- 1:19Speaker 1: and seven penalties that make a, a first and goal
- 1:22Speaker 1: from the two yard line, a first in, or I
- 1:25Speaker 1: guess the four, a first in 14, in a goal-to-go situation. It's,
- 1:31Speaker 1: I mean, they've had multiple delay of games. Like, that stuff,
- 1:34Speaker 1: you play against the Rams and you do that, that's
- 1:36Speaker 1: going to be a killer.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Well, you don't have to be perfect, but you've got
- 1:39Speaker 3: to be near perfect. How's that? Yeah. You don't have
- 1:42Speaker 3: to play a perfect game, Vic, but you can't do
- 1:46Speaker 3: anything to hurt yourself. I mean, you just can't. When
- 1:52Speaker 3: you've got two good teams going head-to-head, I'm sure the
- 1:54Speaker 3: Rams feel the same way. especially on their offensive side
- 1:58Speaker 3: of the ball because they know how good the Broncos
- 1:59Speaker 3: defense is. In games like this, between two good teams,
- 2:04Speaker 3: the margin of error is so thin that you just
- 2:08Speaker 3: can't do anything to hurt your own cause, period.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Do you want to hear a crazy stat? And we
- 2:13Speaker 2: talk about turnovers and how one area where the Broncos
- 2:16Speaker 2: defense can improve is forcing turnovers, takeaways, takeaways. And they
- 2:21Speaker 2: did it against Jacksonville with the Riley Moss interception, which
- 2:25Speaker 2: was awesome, right?
- 2:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Get this one. This is from Doug Strauss, stats man.
- 2:29Speaker 2: The Broncos defense over the span of the last 16
- 2:34Speaker 2: games has just one fumble recovery despite opponents fumbling the
- 2:39Speaker 2: ball 11 times in that span.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Isn't that nuts?
- 2:44Speaker 2: Come up with the ball.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Especially for a team that, this is what's really weird
- 2:49Speaker 1: about that stat. The Broncos were historically good the last
- 2:55Speaker 1: two years in Zach. You sack the quarterback. A lot
- 2:59Speaker 1: of times you hit him and the ball squirts out.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Strip sack. That's what made that Super Bowl 50 champion.
- 3:05Speaker 2: They were known for that. Von Miller, strip sack.
- 3:07Speaker 1: They don't get it. And you know what's funny? They
- 3:10Speaker 1: did have one. You guys remember? They had one earlier
- 3:12Speaker 1: this year.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was a penalty that called it back.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Yeah, it was in the Jags game. It was negated
- 3:17Speaker 1: by Riley Moss' illegal contact.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:21Speaker 2: So they're getting the ball. They're stripping the ball. The
- 3:24Speaker 2: ball's available. They just can't caress the ball. They can't
- 3:29Speaker 2: gather the ball. Gather and caress the ball.
- 3:33Speaker 3: You see, you know how to take the reservation. You
- 3:37Speaker 3: just don't know how to hold the reservation.
- 3:40Speaker 1: You know what?
- 3:41Speaker 3: When Vic's talking like that, that's what that reminds me of. Again, Vic,
- 3:45Speaker 3: there's so many anomalies about this team that blow you away,
- 3:51Speaker 3: especially if we're looking from last year into this year.
- 3:55Speaker 3: They shouldn't be this, but they are. They shouldn't be
- 3:57Speaker 3: able to do that, but they do. They shouldn't be
- 3:59Speaker 3: able to walk that fine line, but they continue to
- 4:03Speaker 3: and came out on top. It's just all these things
- 4:06Speaker 3: where you're going, they have to come back to the
- 4:09Speaker 3: mean at some point, but when is that going to be?
- 4:11Speaker 3: I don't know. When I look at the stats through
- 4:14Speaker 3: the first couple of weeks of the season, the Rams
- 4:16Speaker 3: obviously pass for more yards than the Broncos. They run
- 4:19Speaker 3: for more yards than the Broncos. They hold the opponents
- 4:21Speaker 3: down more than the Broncos, believe it or not. The
- 4:25Speaker 3: opponent points per game, Rams are better. Opponent passing yards,
- 4:29Speaker 3: the Rams are better. Opponent rushing yards, the Rams are better.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Like all these numbers, I know it's only two weeks,
- 4:35Speaker 3: and the Rams got their butts kicked in Australia. But
- 4:40Speaker 3: right now, this is a very, I mean, it's a
- 4:42Speaker 3: good football team on both sides of the ball. It
- 4:44Speaker 3: really is. Talk about the Rams. So you just, you
- 4:47Speaker 3: have to mind your P's and Q's. And Vic, I
- 4:50Speaker 3: completely agree. Here's your elements.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Score early.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Because if you're trying to play from behind it's not
- 4:57Speaker 3: going to work you've got to get to stafford i'm
- 5:00Speaker 3: not saying put him in the dirt strip sacks like
- 5:02Speaker 3: you guys are talking about but you've got to get
- 5:04Speaker 3: pressures on him you must get pressure on him this
- 5:06Speaker 3: is where your blitz game is probably going to come
- 5:08Speaker 3: in really really big how creative you are and you
- 5:12Speaker 3: can't turn the football over you do those three things
- 5:15Speaker 3: at home you can win this dang football game it's
- 5:18Speaker 3: easy for me and it's one that It goes without saying,
- 5:22Speaker 3: but take advantage of the crowd.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It's going to be loud and proud. It's going to
- 5:25Speaker 2: be so deafening Sunday night, and the Broncos are so
- 5:27Speaker 2: good at home. The defense, when Stafford's on offense, obviously
- 5:31Speaker 2: get that crowd involved. It's going to be a factor.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Always is. It's the reason why the Broncos are so
- 5:36Speaker 2: much better, especially defensively at home.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Yeah, Texture says, it's a fair statement, says, I don't
- 5:43Speaker 1: know why this is like against the rules to say,
- 5:46Speaker 1: Bo Nix needs to be a real franchise quarterback. Four
- 5:48Speaker 1: quarters a good play. Be the reason they win. I
- 5:51Speaker 1: think that last part, you are going to have, I'm
- 5:57Speaker 1: not going to say it's impossible because they've done it
- 5:58Speaker 1: last year a couple of times. They won football games
- 6:02Speaker 1: without Bo Nix playing four quarters against really good teams.
- 6:05Speaker 1: They've done the late comeback thing. That is not unreasonable
- 6:08Speaker 1: at all to ask. You want to get paid like
- 6:10Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback, play like a quarterback for four quarters
- 6:14Speaker 1: against a really good opponent and a team that you
- 6:16Speaker 1: know you're going to have to score to beat.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Somebody just texted in, the Broncos need a B. John Robinson.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Have you guys, let me ask you this. Like watching
- 6:25Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker do his thing, a Robinson. You know when
- 6:29Speaker 2: you have one of those, right?
- 6:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:31Speaker 2: The Broncos don't have one of those.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Not one of those.
- 6:34Speaker 3: No.
- 6:35Speaker 2: They ain't got one of those. And you know what
- 6:37Speaker 2: one of those looks like when you see it, right?
- 6:39Speaker 1: Not one of those B. Johns, Gibbs, those types.
- 6:42Speaker 2: But you know what it looks like when you see it.
- 6:44Speaker 2: You see the difference between a running game. that is
- 6:47Speaker 2: all about the offensive line, and then a running game
- 6:50Speaker 2: where the running back is the running game.
- 6:53Speaker 1: I always do it like this. There are good players
- 6:56Speaker 1: in this league, and I think Dobbins is a good player.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I think he's a good player. But then there's players
- 7:00Speaker 1: where you see them on the schedule, you go, bleep.
- 7:05Speaker 1: We got to play that guy?
- 7:07Speaker 2: That guy?
- 7:09Speaker 1: There's that guys, and you don't have one of those
- 7:13Speaker 1: guys at running back. You got good players.
- 7:16Speaker 2: They're good.
- 7:17Speaker 3: But when you watch last night, I mean, how jealous
- 7:23Speaker 3: are you that the Falcons hand the football off to B.
- 7:27Speaker 3: John Robinson 29 times last night?
- 7:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:32Speaker 3: 29. They ran the ball 41 times compared to 25
- 7:36Speaker 3: passes for Pennix. But they handed it off to B.
- 7:38Speaker 3: John 29 times for 194. You know what else it
- 7:42Speaker 3: shows me? And two touches, and you're like... Golly, I mean,
- 7:45Speaker 3: that's just such a luxury to have. It's like you
- 7:48Speaker 3: get jealous of it. When you watch it unfold in
- 7:51Speaker 3: front of you, Vic, you get jealous of it.
- 7:52Speaker 2: What else it proves to me is how fundamentally important
- 7:55Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs is to that Green Bay offense and how
- 7:58Speaker 2: different they are without him.
- 8:01Speaker 1: You're right. They didn't even think about running the football.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I just saw a graphic. So the Packers had 17
- 8:09Speaker 1: rushing yards last night.
- 8:10Speaker 3: On only nine carries.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Seventeen. It's the third fewest since 1933 for that franchise.
- 8:19Speaker 2: That's crazy. Well, take a look at Jordan Love's past
- 8:23Speaker 2: attempts the last two games. Last two games. What was it,
- 8:28Speaker 2: 55 the previous week? 53 last night?
- 8:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:30Speaker 2: He ain't going to win.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, man. Like, Matt LaFleur is saying,
- 8:37Speaker 1: right now, I don't know what we do well on offense.
- 8:39Speaker 1: And it's like, well, would you like to try and
- 8:42Speaker 1: run the football? It feels like the same thing that
- 8:45Speaker 1: we've done with the Broncos over the last few years.
- 8:49Speaker 1: They had a couple of runs early in that game.
- 8:51Speaker 1: They go, oh, that stinks. Can't do that anymore. And
- 8:54Speaker 1: then I watched Jordan Love almost throw five picks and
- 8:56Speaker 1: get hit every time he dropped back and miss open
- 8:59Speaker 1: wide receivers. And I'm like, well, you're totally willing to
- 9:01Speaker 1: play with that. You're totally willing to dismiss a horrible
- 9:05Speaker 1: passing play. I refuse to believe that the Green Bay
- 9:10Speaker 1: Packers have absolutely zero running game, and it's all because
- 9:14Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs is out. It won't be as good as
- 9:18Speaker 1: it was before.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Okay, so if you're the Denver Broncos, Vic, on that
- 9:21Speaker 3: first drive, and you want to run the ball, and
- 9:24Speaker 3: by the way, it looks like you're trending in the
- 9:27Speaker 3: proper direction with... With Dobbins and with R.J.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Harvey.
- 9:33Speaker 3: It looks like you're trending in the proper direction. They're
- 9:35Speaker 3: both in uniform, practicing. So it looks good. And I
- 9:39Speaker 3: know that Coleman was also in uniform but did not practice.
- 9:45Speaker 3: What do you do on that first drive?
- 9:46Speaker 2: Well, you know what I'm going to say. I'm going
- 9:47Speaker 2: to say something that I've said since last year. And
- 9:52Speaker 2: it sounds counterintuitive and dangerous. I'd call a design run
- 9:56Speaker 2: play for Bo Nix at some point in the first drive.
- 10:00Speaker 2: of the game. Get him hit because he plays better
- 10:04Speaker 2: after he's engaged physically. Even if it doesn't work.
- 10:10Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind that at all. And I'm trying to
- 10:12Speaker 1: calculate something because you asked me, Vic. It was how
- 10:15Speaker 1: many passing attempts Jordan Love has in the first three games.
- 10:18Speaker 1: It's 124. With three games.
- 10:20Speaker 2: That's a lot.
- 10:22Speaker 1: So that's an average of about, we'll call it 41
- 10:26Speaker 1: per game. Let's take that times 17. He's on pace
- 10:29Speaker 1: right now for 697 passing attempts this year.
- 10:34Speaker 3: How many did Bo Nix have last year?
- 10:36Speaker 1: I think 610.
- 10:37Speaker 3: He led the National Football League in passing attempts.
- 10:39Speaker 1: I think it was 610.
- 10:41Speaker 3: He's on pace for 700. That's insane.
- 10:42Speaker 1: 700. 700. And I don't know how this exempt list works.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I mean, the Broncos are dealing with it with Jonathan Cooper.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Is Jacobs just out forever?
- 10:55Speaker 3: Don't know.
- 10:56Speaker 2: You know what? And I don't even care.
- 10:57Speaker 3: If the Packers get worked every week, I couldn't give
- 10:59Speaker 3: a rat's rib less.
- 11:00Speaker 1: I really care. That would make me so happy.
- 11:02Speaker 3: No, I know. I just think, I mean, look, it
- 11:06Speaker 3: was so interesting what Long said about Puka Nakua. He
- 11:12Speaker 3: said the last two games that he's missed, the offense
- 11:15Speaker 3: has exploded. And Pukunuku is one of the best wideouts
- 11:21Speaker 3: in the National Football League. Yes.
- 11:24Speaker 1: The two games that he's missed, the offense has exploded
- 11:27Speaker 1: for the Rams.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Yeah, but look at who they are.
- 11:29Speaker 1: The offense has exploded every week. I mean, what are
- 11:33Speaker 1: we talking about here?
- 11:34Speaker 2: Hey, do you have Jesse the Sound from Andrew Whitworth
- 11:39Speaker 2: on his podcast?
- 11:40Speaker 1: Well, hold on to that. Yeah, I have it.
- 11:41Speaker 2: He's got it. Okay, yeah, we'll play it here because
- 11:43Speaker 2: I thought he was very– Insightful about the matchup between
- 11:47Speaker 2: Sean McVay and Sean Payton. Two offensive... I mean, listen.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Sean McVay is today what Sean Payton was when he
- 11:55Speaker 2: first got going in New Orleans, right? Bright, young minds,
- 11:58Speaker 2: offensive minds.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Well, and there's some animosity between them, or was animosity
- 12:04Speaker 1: between them. We'll get to that audio in just a
- 12:06Speaker 1: second on this Bud Light Football Friday. Stick around. It's
- 12:10Speaker 1: a Bud Light Football Friday. Got drunk takes coming up
- 12:12Speaker 1: to round out the show.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Hey.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Also, Survivor, I'm the only Survivor left in our Survivor pool,
- 12:19Speaker 2: so do I get to at least throw out my
- 12:20Speaker 2: Survivor for the week?
- 12:22Speaker 1: I think we keep with it, yeah.
- 12:24Speaker 2: I mean, I'm the only one left.
- 12:25Speaker 1: See how far you can go?
- 12:27Speaker 2: Exactly. I'll take Kansas City over Miami.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You're just going to pick Miami, aren't you?
- 12:31Speaker 2: Every week.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Yep.
- 12:32Speaker 2: It's worked wonderfully so far.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Well, you're not allowed to.
- 12:36Speaker 1: No, you can pick against a team as much as
- 12:38Speaker 1: you can.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Oh, oh, oh.
- 12:38Speaker 1: You can't take the same team twice.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I'm down with Kansas City.
- 12:41Speaker 1: So you've picked who so far? You picked Jacksonville?
- 12:44Speaker 2: Every Miami opponent so far. Okay.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Okay. So that's just going to be your thing.
- 12:49Speaker 2: That's my formula. I have one. I, I want it.
- 12:53Speaker 1: What if they play the Browns?
- 12:55Speaker 2: Well, let's talk when we get there.
- 12:57Speaker 1: So we get to lay it down in a bit.
- 12:59Speaker 1: You want to play this Whitworth audio though?
- 13:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:01Speaker 2: I mean, I just, again, I, I love these coaching
- 13:04Speaker 2: matchups where you could tell there's a, there's some ego
- 13:08Speaker 2: on the line here, right? It just, it's just natural.
- 13:11Speaker 2: It's part of the deal.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Like if I asked you this, Take a step back.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Who's the best coach in the National Football League? Give
- 13:21Speaker 2: me a group of guys that you would consider.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan.
- 13:26Speaker 3: I think McDonald's doing a pretty damn good job in Seattle, dude.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Early for him.
- 13:30Speaker 3: It's early for him, but he just led him to
- 13:33Speaker 3: a Super Bowl championship last year.
- 13:36Speaker 1: I gave you a handful.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Okay.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Sean Payton at one point was regarded that.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Right?
- 13:41Speaker 2: And I'm not sure why he's not in that group anymore,
- 13:44Speaker 2: to be honest with you.
- 13:44Speaker 1: It's funny you mention that.
- 13:45Speaker 2: He should be.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 13:47Speaker 2: He should be in that group. Yeah. I mean, he
- 13:49Speaker 2: had the Broncos a step away from the Super Bowl
- 13:52Speaker 2: last year. Why wouldn't he be?
- 13:53Speaker 1: Very true.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:55Speaker 2: So when we mention that, when I ask that question,
- 13:58Speaker 2: why isn't he mentioned, Moshe?
- 14:01Speaker 3: Vic, I don't have an answer for you. I don't know.
- 14:03Speaker 3: That's a weird thing.
- 14:04Speaker 1: That is weird. Do you think it's because... He is
- 14:10Speaker 1: an offensive genius, and if there's one flaw with the
- 14:13Speaker 1: Broncos over the last couple years, it's been the offense.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Is that a.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Part of it? I don't know. Either that or maybe
- 14:19Speaker 2: it's his personality. I don't know. But you know what
- 14:24Speaker 2: he is? He's a guy who gets things done. And
- 14:28Speaker 2: that's why he was the perfect hire for the Broncos.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Listen to Andrew Whitworth here, former Ram, who obviously worked
- 14:33Speaker 2: for Sean McVay in Los Angeles. Just describe the relationship
- 14:38Speaker 2: between Sean McVay and Sean Payton.
- 14:43Speaker 4: It was like him and I were in this conversation
- 14:44Speaker 4: we're like hey you know that's what coach Payton used
- 14:46Speaker 4: to always say this dude wants to be me or
- 14:49Speaker 4: like he he wishes he was me or he thinks
- 14:50Speaker 4: he's me he thinks he's a young me like everyone
- 14:52Speaker 4: compares him to a young me and so Tron was
- 14:54Speaker 4: kind of telling me this and it was funny because
- 14:55Speaker 4: we were having that conversation and it's like I can
- 14:57Speaker 4: remember a little bit of like there's that little animosity
- 15:01Speaker 4: a little bit right he's offensive coordinators who are considered
- 15:05Speaker 4: they're changing the game right they've got all they're such
- 15:08Speaker 4: great communicators think of all the sean payton antics over
- 15:11Speaker 4: the years like you know he's famous for the billboards
- 15:15Speaker 4: as they come in on a bus ride they circled
- 15:17Speaker 4: philly stadium after they beat him you know a couple
- 15:19Speaker 4: years ago like all the things he gets into he's
- 15:22Speaker 4: told us some of the stories of him dressing up
- 15:24Speaker 4: you know and like you know just doing all these
- 15:26Speaker 4: things with his team And then Sean McVay, he's known
- 15:28Speaker 4: as this insane motivator and energizer in front of the team.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Young and up and coming. That's it.
- 15:33Speaker 4: And so you really think of some similarities there. What's
- 15:35Speaker 4: been fun, though, is I obviously had a great relationship
- 15:38Speaker 4: with Sean Payton being a Louisiana guy. And, you know,
- 15:41Speaker 4: over the years, he came and spoke about he was
- 15:42Speaker 4: the first person that I had come speak at my
- 15:44Speaker 4: foundation event back in 2009. And so, you know, we
- 15:48Speaker 4: have a great relationship. So I've always kind of been
- 15:50Speaker 4: like in between of them. Like, hey, I talk good
- 15:53Speaker 4: about Payton to McVay and to Payton, that kind of deal.
- 15:55Speaker 3: And so.
- 15:57Speaker 4: It's been interesting, but the last couple summers, like, we've
- 15:59Speaker 4: been together a little bit, and I've seen them in
- 16:01Speaker 4: a relationship. And now knowing this offseason, they actually were,
- 16:05Speaker 4: you know, communicating a lot through both of them and
- 16:08Speaker 4: kind of their extensions and those kind of things that
- 16:10Speaker 4: they did with their teams. And I know how much
- 16:13Speaker 4: their relationship's grown. So there's a very, like, cool mutual
- 16:16Speaker 4: respect for one another that they've gotten to that I
- 16:19Speaker 4: really love.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Okay, that's interesting.
- 16:23Speaker 2: So I was thinking about this. God, Sean Payton wants
- 16:26Speaker 2: to win this kind of game.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 16:28Speaker 2: What game in Sean Payton's history, resume, probably hurts him
- 16:34Speaker 2: the most?
- 16:34Speaker 1: Oh, it's just, yeah. It's the Rams game. NFC Championship.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Yeah. Why?
- 16:39Speaker 2: Because he felt it was stolen from him.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Well, here's what's funny, Vic. Now that you mention this,
- 16:43Speaker 1: when you talk about greatest coaches in the league or
- 16:45Speaker 1: who gets the most respect, and a texter says he
- 16:47Speaker 1: has won Super Bowl in 25 years. Yeah, well, Sean
- 16:50Speaker 1: McVay has won Super Bowl. Kyle Shanahan has none. and
- 16:54Speaker 1: you consider them great coaches. But here's what's funny, and
- 16:56Speaker 1: this is, you guys know how I love the what-ifs
- 17:00Speaker 1: game that you can play in sports for who's the
- 17:02Speaker 1: winner and who's not. Sean McVay was a starting quarterback
- 17:06Speaker 1: away last year, an ankle injury away from probably being
- 17:09Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl again. Last year, he was a
- 17:13Speaker 1: horrible missed pass interference call away in New Orleans from
- 17:17Speaker 1: getting to a Super Bowl again there. And if he
- 17:19Speaker 1: does that, Maybe that one Super Bowl thing all gets changed.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Different light. And not to mention.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Doesn't take away from his coaching acumen, though.
- 17:28Speaker 2: This is what I don't get about why people don't
- 17:30Speaker 2: view Sean Payton as great. You got to be great
- 17:33Speaker 2: if you can take on a job. Remember, the Denver
- 17:36Speaker 2: Broncos just went through the worst 10-year window of our generation.
- 17:42Speaker 2: 10 years of misery. He took that 10-year window and
- 17:45Speaker 2: turned it on its ear in three years. To being
- 17:49Speaker 2: a favorite. And he did it having to eat the
- 17:54Speaker 2: contract of a quarterback who didn't work out.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:59Speaker 2: It's crazy. How many coaches can do that? How many
- 18:03Speaker 2: coaches have done that?
- 18:05Speaker 1: To do it that quickly? I don't think many. Certainly
- 18:09Speaker 1: don't think very many.
- 18:09Speaker 2: That's the definition of a great coach, whether you like
- 18:12Speaker 2: him or not.
- 18:13Speaker 1: All right, Jesse, do you have the recap from last week?
- 18:16Speaker 1: Did we find it? I did find it. Okay, so...
- 18:19Speaker 1: Let's get to one of our favorite things. Every Friday,
- 18:21Speaker 1: Moshe takes you through his little stroll of different picks
- 18:26Speaker 1: for different games for the weekend. Now, here's the new
- 18:28Speaker 1: wrinkle to this this year. If Mosher goes at least
- 18:31Speaker 1: 500 the previous week, he gets his music. If he
- 18:35Speaker 1: goes less than 500, he gets our choice of music.
- 18:39Speaker 1: And we find out what it is with the recap.
- 18:41Speaker 1: So go ahead, Jesse.
- 18:43Speaker 3: I'm doing it, Rams. I'm putting my faith in you. Now,
- 18:45Speaker 3: the Rams are getting 18 and a half right now.
- 18:48Speaker 3: I'm not saying the Rams are going to win the game,
- 18:51Speaker 3: but I'm saying they can keep it closer than 18.
- 18:53Speaker 3: So you take those 18 points, you tuck them right
- 18:55Speaker 3: in your little pockets, you sit on them, and you
- 18:58Speaker 3: lay it down! Vic, you're Irish. are laying 29.5 to
- 19:04Speaker 3: Michigan State. I'm just saying, South Bend this week, it's
- 19:07Speaker 3: going to be closer than 29.5, but it's still going
- 19:09Speaker 3: to be a blowout. I'll take Sparty and the 29.5,
- 19:12Speaker 3: and I'm going to lay it down. Rutgers is terrible.
- 19:20Speaker 3: I'm not talking about spreads, but I'm talking about the over-under.
- 19:22Speaker 3: You ready for this? It's 57 and a half. That
- 19:24Speaker 3: ain't going to be enough. Take the over 57 and
- 19:28Speaker 3: a half, right? You go to New Jersey, hey, you
- 19:31Speaker 3: go to New Jersey, say, hey, Rutgers, you suck, huh?
- 19:33Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? I'm going to take the
- 19:35Speaker 3: 57 and a half and over that right there, lay
- 19:38Speaker 3: it there. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are flaming torqued and
- 19:44Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns, they are ripe for the picking because
- 19:48Speaker 3: they stink. Bucs minus eight and a half. Jen Jen.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Landed!
- 19:53Speaker 3: 22 seconds left to play on fourth down and they
- 19:54Speaker 3: go to the end zone.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Incomplete.
- 19:58Speaker 3: And that should do it for the Browns.
- 20:02Speaker 1: So wait a minute. Hang on, hang on. Did you
- 20:05Speaker 1: say take the under? On the Rutgers and USC game?
- 20:08Speaker 3: No, I said over. Oh, over.
- 20:10Speaker 2: The over.
- 20:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Good job, Moshe. Moshe.
- 20:13Speaker 3: I said USC may score 50 on their own.
- 20:15Speaker 1: I got you. So you had a 3-1 week. So
- 20:19Speaker 1: you're in the clear. I will clarify two things just
- 20:21Speaker 1: quickly before you get to your picks. You said Rutgers stink.
- 20:24Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. They were this close to
- 20:26Speaker 1: beating or at least tying USC at the end of
- 20:28Speaker 1: that game, which was interesting. Secondly... Colorado State, thank God,
- 20:33Speaker 1: BYU took their foot off the gas. You talk about
- 20:35Speaker 1: getting backdoored all the time. You did some backdooring yourself.
- 20:41Speaker 1: I could say something. I'm not saying it. I'm not
- 20:44Speaker 1: saying it. You're not going to draw me into saying it.
- 20:46Speaker 1: I know what you did there. I know what you
- 20:50Speaker 1: did there. Mosher said, it's a very famous line on
- 20:54Speaker 1: this show. He says, I said, Mosher, why are you
- 20:57Speaker 1: in a bad mood? Remember this the first time? First
- 20:59Speaker 1: day he did lay it down. I said, why are
- 21:01Speaker 1: you in a bad mood? He goes, I got back
- 21:03Speaker 1: the word.
- 21:04Speaker 3: All right.
- 21:05Speaker 1: And with that, he got it. So Jesse, give him
- 21:09Speaker 1: his music, please. The licking of the fingers every time
- 21:25Speaker 1: is just it. It's so weird.
- 21:27Speaker 3: It's so good.
- 21:30Speaker 2: The best video I have in my photo edits is
- 21:34Speaker 2: Mosher without the music doing that.
- 21:37Speaker 1: What is he doing? So gross.
- 21:39Speaker 2: All right.
- 21:40Speaker 3: I got the one pro and three college. Here we go.
- 21:44Speaker 3: The Jacksonville Jaguars are home against the Patriots. I don't
- 21:47Speaker 3: think the Pats are that good. And I think the
- 21:48Speaker 3: Jags are embarrassed how the Broncos worked them over in
- 21:51Speaker 3: the second half last week. They're only laying three at home.
- 21:56Speaker 3: And I think they're a pretty good football team. So
- 21:58Speaker 3: this is going to be an easy one. Just the
- 21:59Speaker 3: Jags minus three, lay it down.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Oh, do you not have it? All right, hang on.
- 22:08Speaker 1: I can't play anything from my board either. It's got
- 22:10Speaker 1: to be Jesse. Jesse, you got to hit the lay
- 22:12Speaker 1: it down button. Do we have a lay it down button?
- 22:15Speaker 3: I'm hitting the button. Jesse, he's a mess. I mean,
- 22:18Speaker 3: he's so out of practice with this. It's unbelievable.
- 22:21Speaker 1: I'll do your backup. All right.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Okay.
- 22:23Speaker 3: So let's go to the SEC. How are the Oklahoma Sooners?
- 22:28Speaker 2: They're overrated.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Yeah. You're damn right.
- 22:32Speaker 2: John Mateer is not what we thought he was.
- 22:34Speaker 3: No. This is the real first test of the season
- 22:37Speaker 3: for Georgia. But they're between the hedges. They're only laying
- 22:41Speaker 3: 14 to what I also agree is an overrated Oklahoma team.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Gunner Stockton, quarterback for the Georgia Bulldogs. You know what
- 22:48Speaker 3: his completion percentage is already this season?
- 22:51Speaker 1: What's that?
- 22:51Speaker 3: 84%. He's clipping along, Vic, at 84% to a 3-0
- 22:57Speaker 3: start with nine touchdowns. I'm not a big Georgia Bulldog guy,
- 23:03Speaker 3: but I know free money when I see it. Oklahoma's
- 23:06Speaker 3: going to go down there to Athens, Georgia and get
- 23:09Speaker 3: absolutely worked. 14 ain't going to be enough. So you
- 23:13Speaker 3: know what you do? You have your little.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Okay.
- 23:19Speaker 3: What the hell just happened?
- 23:20Speaker 1: Jesse's just too quick on the button.
- 23:22Speaker 3: I guess he is.
- 23:23Speaker 2: There's a little showmanship in this, Jesse. I reckon there is.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Oklahoma's going to go down to Athens to get work.
- 23:28Speaker 3: 14 ain't enough. So have your little mint juleps. Have
- 23:31Speaker 3: whatever it is you want to have. Get between your
- 23:33Speaker 3: hedges and you lay it down. Now, Jesse.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Now hit. Yeah.
- 23:37Speaker 3: All right. You know who's for real, Vic? The Utah
- 23:43Speaker 3: Utes are for real.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I told you guys, I love Utah.
- 23:47Speaker 3: That is a damn fine football team. They're on the
- 23:49Speaker 3: road this week at Ames, Iowa, taking on Iowa State.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham, who's been such a successful coach there, leaves
- 23:57Speaker 2: and they get better.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Well, longtime assistant takes over. There wasn't a huge transition.
- 24:02Speaker 3: That's a good football team, dudes. So far this season,
- 24:06Speaker 3: they've outscored their opponents 142-24. They're only allowing 75 yards
- 24:09Speaker 3: per game on the ground. They're an incredibly efficient offense,
- 24:18Speaker 3: averaging over 518 yards per game so far this season.
- 24:22Speaker 1: With two quarterbacks playing on the same play at the
- 24:25Speaker 1: same time.
- 24:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and Dampier, he's really grown on me, too.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Dampier and Bird Ficklin.
- 24:30Speaker 2: You know, before you, I just want to look at
- 24:32Speaker 2: their schedule. They beat Idaho. They beat Arkansas, which is
- 24:36Speaker 2: the bottom of the bucket when it comes to the SEC.
- 24:40Speaker 3: The pigs stink. The pigs are terrible.
- 24:42Speaker 2: You're right. And they beat in-state. Utah State.
- 24:45Speaker 1: They beat the hell out of them.
- 24:46Speaker 2: I know.
- 24:47Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Vic. I mean, they're in front of them,
- 24:48Speaker 3: and they beat the living snot out of all of them.
- 24:50Speaker 3: What do you want from me?
- 24:51Speaker 2: Well, Iowa State and Iowa State.
- 24:54Speaker 3: Go ahead. They're a damn fine football team. I think
- 24:56Speaker 3: that the Cyclones D.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Hey, shut up.
- 24:58Speaker 1: This is Mosher's segment.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Shut your mouth. Get your Vic pick coming or your
- 25:01Speaker 3: unsolicited Vic pick.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Get some mouth arrogance going over there.
- 25:04Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is that Iowa State's defense
- 25:08Speaker 3: can try to slow them up a little bit, but
- 25:09Speaker 3: they can't do it for four quarters. So you ever
- 25:12Speaker 3: been to Ames, Iowa?
- 25:14Speaker 1: I actually have been to Ames, Iowa.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Ain't much to it, bro.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Not much to it.
- 25:18Speaker 3: Ain't much to it, bro. So I guess go to
- 25:20Speaker 3: the Piggly Wiggly. Go see Mary at the Piggly Wiggly.
- 25:25Speaker 3: She's got a little side business going on on the side, right?
- 25:27Speaker 3: She takes bets on Saturday mornings on the side at
- 25:30Speaker 3: the Piggly Wiggly.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Do they have an opera house in Ames, Iowa?
- 25:33Speaker 3: I have no idea. Anyway, you go see Mary, a
- 25:36Speaker 3: little side bet action, right? She's got Rocco over there
- 25:39Speaker 3: who's going to get the money out of you.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Mary had a little.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Lamb.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Lamb. Go see Marin.
- 25:44Speaker 1: You lay it down!
- 25:48Speaker 3: Oh, Alfonso, you're weak. Incidentally, it's minus eight, okay? And
- 25:54Speaker 3: the final one. Boy, what happened last week to the
- 25:57Speaker 3: USC Trojans?
- 25:58Speaker 2: Wait, do I do my.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Oh, you bretcoin a lot.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Yeah, bretcoin.
- 26:01Speaker 3: Sorry.
- 26:02Speaker 1: So here's mine. It's in the NFL. I just took
- 26:05Speaker 1: last week the Vikings to cover the spread against the Bears.
- 26:09Speaker 1: And my reasoning behind that was the Vikings defense is
- 26:11Speaker 1: incredibly good. They will keep games close. And that's what happened.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Now it was a rainy mess and Caleb Williams got hurt,
- 26:16Speaker 1: but they covered. The Vikings are now 2-0. They're going
- 26:20Speaker 1: on the road. They're playing Tampa Bay in Tampa Bay.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Tampa Bay 0-2, miserable start to the year. Spread them
- 26:25Speaker 1: this game as Minnesota 1-1. I think this is a
- 26:29Speaker 1: week that Minnesota, after a surprising 2-0 start, and Tampa
- 26:33Speaker 1: Bay after a surprising 0-2 start, Tampa, I don't see
- 26:36Speaker 1: them losing two games in a row to go 0-3
- 26:39Speaker 1: in Tampa.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Is this the week they get got, you think, the Vikes?
- 26:42Speaker 1: I think the Vikings get got, and I think the
- 26:44Speaker 1: Bucs get right.
- 26:45Speaker 2: I think that's a good call.
- 26:46Speaker 1: So I am going to take the Bucs plus one
- 26:49Speaker 1: and a half.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Lay down!
- 26:51Speaker 3: Yeah! Right on, Alfonso. You're back.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Do we have an unsolicited Vic pick this week?
- 26:58Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't have one. I don't do this.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Okay.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Well... We have a damn sounder for you. You've done
- 27:06Speaker 3: it in the past.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Vic gets one for not making any pick.
- 27:10Speaker 3: All right, go ahead. Can the Irish stomp Purdue?
- 27:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is.
- 27:14Speaker 3: Okay, all right.
- 27:15Speaker 2: That game's ridiculous.
- 27:17Speaker 3: Final one. What almost happened last week in New Jersey?
- 27:21Speaker 3: The USC Trojans went there. They won, but what almost happened?
- 27:24Speaker 2: Well, they gave up a lot of points. That USC
- 27:26Speaker 2: defense is not that good, bro. It's not. It's not.
- 27:29Speaker 3: But you want shootout city? And I can't believe I'm
- 27:32Speaker 3: saying this in the Big Ten. God, I can't get
- 27:36Speaker 3: over this. It should be Pac-12, but I got to
- 27:39Speaker 3: accept it. The Trojans, though, we're going to find out
- 27:41Speaker 3: this week if they are for real. They're 4-0. They're
- 27:44Speaker 3: playing host to an Oregon team that has not really
- 27:47Speaker 3: shown me jack, although they did have a one big,
- 27:51Speaker 3: huge bounce-back win. But King Miller on the ground for
- 27:54Speaker 3: the Trojans, 338 yards so far this year, averaging... 5.3
- 28:00Speaker 3: yards per carry. Their quarterback, is it Maiva?
- 28:03Speaker 1: Maiva.
- 28:04Speaker 3: Maiva. Playing good football. I like USC at home getting
- 28:10Speaker 3: three at the Coliseum, Vic, against the quacking Oregon Ducks
- 28:13Speaker 3: in an old-fashioned Pac-12 showdown. You have the Trojans an
- 28:17Speaker 3: opportunity to redeem themselves. So go to the stadium. Outside
- 28:21Speaker 3: the stadium, Vic and I crawled through the fence. Remember that, Vic?
- 28:24Speaker 3: It was quick access. We had to crawl through a
- 28:26Speaker 3: cyclone fence to get in. And over there, we saw
- 28:28Speaker 3: Tony and his little table taking bets. Kind of scary.
- 28:32Speaker 3: But you go see Tony. When you crawl through the
- 28:34Speaker 3: cyclone fence, the hole's ripped open in it. You go
- 28:36Speaker 3: see Tony over there behind the old VW bus. Yeah.
- 28:39Speaker 3: You see Tony. Trojans at home tonight, huh? They say, hey, dude,
- 28:43Speaker 3: we're in California, man. Trojans are getting three at home.
- 28:47Speaker 3: I'm going to go smoke a.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Bong, man.
- 28:49Speaker 3: Buddy, you have 20 bucks in my pocket to lay
- 28:51Speaker 3: it down on the Trojans getting three at home, man.
- 28:54Speaker 3: They're going to win outright, dude.
- 28:55Speaker 5: Lay it down.
- 28:56Speaker 1: There you go, Jesse. Another edition of Lay It Down.
- 29:01Speaker 1: And remember, Moj needs to go at least 500 to
- 29:05Speaker 1: get his music or else we give him the carnival music.
- 29:08Speaker 1: That's what he gets.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Circus music.
- 29:10Speaker 1: The circus music.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Hey, dude, man, they're going to.
- 29:12Speaker 1: You really switched it up on me? Because when you
- 29:14Speaker 1: started saying you go through the fence and you see Tony,
- 29:17Speaker 1: you were starting to do a little New York thing,
- 29:19Speaker 1: and then you went full beach, bro?
- 29:21Speaker 3: Because Tony's a transplant. He's not from SoCal.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Oh, gotcha. Yeah, of course.
- 29:26Speaker 3: I mean, Vic and I can't get into the frigging Coliseum.
- 29:30Speaker 3: The line was too long.
- 29:31Speaker 2: We just took a shortcut.
- 29:31Speaker 3: And so we follow this dude. He ripped up the
- 29:34Speaker 3: corner of the cyclone fence, and we crawled through the dirt.
- 29:38Speaker 2: That was very dangerous. We could have been gone... We
- 29:40Speaker 2: followed this dude just irresponsibly. He could have been taking
- 29:43Speaker 2: us to places we didn't want to go.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:45Speaker 1: So we get last thoughts on Broncos and Rams heading
- 29:48Speaker 1: into this weekend and drunk takes next. All right, reminder tonight,
- 30:06Speaker 1: you have Jets, Winnipeg Jets and Avalanche preseason. Be on 92.5
- 30:12Speaker 1: starting at 7 o'clock. Also at 7 on AM 950
- 30:16Speaker 1: will be Arapahoe at Legend for high school football tonight.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Got a bunch of games over the weekend. Oregon USC,
- 30:23Speaker 1: one of Mosher's laid down picks. It's going to be
- 30:25Speaker 1: on 530 tomorrow. And then listen to this on Sunday.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Super intriguing game here. 11 o'clock on 92.5. Chargers and Bills.
- 30:36Speaker 3: Chargers need a win so bad, but they are not
- 30:38Speaker 3: going to win in Buffalo.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Also on AM 950 at 11 is Seahawks and Commanders.
- 30:43Speaker 1: And then at 2.30, it's Ravens and Cowboys in Brazil
- 30:46Speaker 1: on AM 950. And then, of course, we have Sunday
- 30:49Speaker 1: Night Football, as we do every week.
- 30:51Speaker 2: Hey, Vic.
- 30:51Speaker 1: No, we won't this week because that's the Broncos game.
- 30:53Speaker 1: That's correct. That will not be on this week.
- 30:56Speaker 3: Hey, Vic. Yeah. What language do they speak in Brazil?
- 31:00Speaker 2: Portuguese.
- 31:01Speaker 3: They sure do. Well, Portuguese. Portuguese. How come I don't
- 31:06Speaker 3: know no Portuguese?
- 31:08Speaker 1: Portuguese seems like a language that not many people speak.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
- 31:12Speaker 2: It's an amalgamation of... A little bit of Spanish? Some
- 31:16Speaker 2: French intonation in there. It's really a very unique language.
- 31:23Speaker 3: Hey, Brett, where do they speak Portuguese?
- 31:28Speaker 1: America?
- 31:30Speaker 3: In Brazil and Portugal. Right. Good talk.
- 31:35Speaker 1: So a few things here. Number one, as we look
- 31:38Speaker 1: around the NFL over the weekend.
- 31:40Speaker 3: By the way, Connor says the Avs are at 630 tonight.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Well, my sheet says 7. Well, that's when the puck drops, but.
- 31:46Speaker 3: The pregame show, I think, is. The game's at 630. Oh,
- 31:50Speaker 3: the game's at 630.
- 31:50Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Okay, my bad.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Game's at 630. Then it's going to be at 630.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Thank you, Connor. Blame Nelly, who's not here today.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Yeah, the pregame show is tomorrow. The only pregame show
- 31:59Speaker 3: is tomorrow's game.
- 32:00Speaker 1: How many times do I have to tell you guys?
- 32:02Speaker 1: If you put something in front of me, I'm just
- 32:03Speaker 1: going to read it, okay? And then I will shift
- 32:07Speaker 1: blame to anybody else except for me. I'm just the reader.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Look at me like a speaking spell, okay? That's what
- 32:13Speaker 1: I am. Now, quickly here, going back to Chargers-Bills. Are
- 32:19Speaker 1: you surprised? Shouldn't be surprising. The Bills are a seven-point
- 32:23Speaker 1: favorite in this game. Does that surprise you?
- 32:25Speaker 3: No.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Not one bit. Why would that surprise you?
- 32:29Speaker 1: Just because, are the Chargers ever going to get it?
- 32:32Speaker 2: The Chargers just lost to two teams that were supposed
- 32:35Speaker 2: to beat handily.
- 32:37Speaker 3: I know.
- 32:38Speaker 2: But it wouldn't surprise me, though, if they suddenly found
- 32:41Speaker 2: themselves and surprised everybody.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Like, is everybody just out there like, nope, the Chargers
- 32:46Speaker 1: stink now and they're never going to be good. That's
- 32:47Speaker 1: what I'm wondering.
- 32:48Speaker 3: If they were going to Washington or, I don't know,
- 32:54Speaker 3: Buffalo's just the cream of the crop, man. Justin Herbert
- 32:58Speaker 3: has a malfunction going on, Brett. Trust me when I
- 33:01Speaker 3: tell you. He is malfunctioning. Yeah.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Here's the other one.
- 33:06Speaker 3: He's a $ 50 million malfunctioning unit. He's a mess.
- 33:10Speaker 1: The other one that I think really intriguing. Couple. But
- 33:14Speaker 1: Patriots and Jags. Who do you think wins that game? Jags.
- 33:19Speaker 3: I told you. That's one way to lay it down. Jags.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Minus three.
- 33:22Speaker 1: But if the Patriots going one and two would be like,
- 33:25Speaker 1: you know, that's another team.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Didn't they have?
- 33:27Speaker 1: I remember. Did they have 14 wins last year?
- 33:30Speaker 3: They did.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:32Speaker 3: But the Drake May is not himself right now either.
- 33:37Speaker 1: And they got the bills the week after that. Like
- 33:38Speaker 1: they got a couple of tough ones. It eases up
- 33:40Speaker 1: a little bit afterwards, but a lot of really intriguing
- 33:44Speaker 1: games in the NFL this weekend and going back to
- 33:46Speaker 1: the Broncos and final thoughts here. I've said this before.
- 33:50Speaker 1: I just, I think the Rams are the best team
- 33:53Speaker 1: in the league. And I think this is a game
- 33:54Speaker 1: that the Broncos lose. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
- 33:56Speaker 1: If they won being at home, Vic said it, defense
- 33:59Speaker 1: plays a lot better at home than they do on
- 34:00Speaker 1: the road. And that's at least one feather in your cap,
- 34:04Speaker 1: considering that the NFL's most prolific offense from last year
- 34:08Speaker 1: is going to be the one on the field this weekend.
- 34:12Speaker 1: I think bottom line, it comes down to, can you
- 34:14Speaker 1: get on the board early? Can you show that your
- 34:17Speaker 1: offense is capable of staying in this game?
- 34:19Speaker 3: Vic, the three things. Score early, like you said. get
- 34:23Speaker 3: to Stafford, you don't have to sack him, but you
- 34:25Speaker 3: need to put pressure on him because if he has time,
- 34:27Speaker 3: he's going to kill you. And three, a clean game.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Let me ask you guys this.
- 34:32Speaker 3: No false starts, no silly penalties of that nature, no
- 34:38Speaker 3: mechanical stuff.
- 34:38Speaker 2: First of all, I can't wait for the scene environment
- 34:41Speaker 2: Sunday night. It is going to be electric. I cannot wait.
- 34:45Speaker 2: What is one thing Bo Nix does better than Matt
- 34:49Speaker 2: Stafford as a quarterback?
- 34:51Speaker 1: Mobility.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Besides just the physical traits, what's the one statistical trait
- 34:56Speaker 2: that he possesses that is better than Matt Stafford?
- 34:59Speaker 3: He doesn't turn the football over and doesn't take sacks.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Stafford doesn't turn the ball over. No, he doesn't.
- 35:05Speaker 3: And Stafford hasn't been sacked one time this year.
- 35:08Speaker 2: No quarterback has more fourth quarter comebacks than Bo Nix.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 35:12Speaker 3: That too.
- 35:13Speaker 1: I think Stafford's number two on that list.
- 35:15Speaker 2: I know, but think about that for a second. That's
- 35:18Speaker 2: a pretty impressive number to hold.
- 35:20Speaker 3: But Vic, again, that's walking that fine line. I know
- 35:23Speaker 3: it is. That's tight roping it.
- 35:24Speaker 2: But it doesn't change the fact it is a fact.
- 35:27Speaker 2: It doesn't change the fact that if the Broncos have
- 35:30Speaker 2: the ball late, remember how nervous you used to be
- 35:35Speaker 2: when games were late and, you know, journeyman quarterback had
- 35:38Speaker 2: the ball. It's a different feel now. It's like true.
- 35:41Speaker 3: It absolutely is.
- 35:43Speaker 1: I would feel, by the way, here's what's interesting about
- 35:45Speaker 1: this game. If it is late or if it is
- 35:47Speaker 1: close late, I would be scared of both quarterbacks. If
- 35:54Speaker 1: it's a one possession game with two minutes left on
- 35:56Speaker 1: the clock and Bo Nix has the football, I think
- 35:57Speaker 1: the Rams should be terrified. The exact opposite, I think
- 36:01Speaker 1: the Broncos should be terrified. These might be the two
- 36:05Speaker 1: best late game quarterbacks in the NFL. They might be.
- 36:09Speaker 1: They're both, if you're down four and you need a
- 36:12Speaker 1: touchdown with a couple of minutes left, they are wholly capable,
- 36:15Speaker 1: both of them, of leading you to a victory.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Tried to get some info out of the big boss
- 36:20Speaker 3: you saw. Ain't nothing coming.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Well, I mean, what does he think we're going to do?
- 36:26Speaker 1: We're going to run this over to Sean Payton?
- 36:31Speaker 3: I think he thinks he can trust us, right? Just
- 36:34Speaker 3: a little inside dope.
- 36:39Speaker 1: It is going to be, I think, a big game
- 36:42Speaker 1: for whether you buy into what I'm saying or not. Like,
- 36:44Speaker 1: if you have a close loss to the Rams, I
- 36:46Speaker 1: don't think Obviously, you're disappointed by it. My read is, well,
- 36:49Speaker 1: the Rams are the favorites to win the Super Bowl,
- 36:51Speaker 1: and they beat a lot of teams, and that's kind
- 36:52Speaker 1: of what happens in the NFL. I think if you
- 36:54Speaker 1: win this game, though, it does a ton for confidence.
- 36:59Speaker 1: To know that you stand toe-to-toe with that team, you
- 37:01Speaker 1: get a victory, and I think in order to do it,
- 37:03Speaker 1: you're going to have to score. And I think that's
- 37:05Speaker 1: another thing. Like, you took a step forward in the
- 37:07Speaker 1: second half. Can Davis Webb capitalize on that and do
- 37:11Speaker 1: it earlier in the game? And the good news is,
- 37:13Speaker 1: it looks like, according to yesterday's injury report, J.K. Dobbins, R.J. Harvey,
- 37:19Speaker 1: full participants, seem like they're going to be a go.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Don't know the status of Jonah Coleman, but at least
- 37:22Speaker 1: you got two of those guys ready for Sunday.
- 37:24Speaker 3: You know, and Sean Payton must have had a pretty
- 37:25Speaker 3: good feel all this week. Nobody was brought in. There's
- 37:29Speaker 3: no talk about elevating the kid from the practice squad.
- 37:32Speaker 3: So he must have had a pretty good feeling that
- 37:35Speaker 3: at least one of these guys is going to be
- 37:37Speaker 3: able to go, and he can always go to bidet
- 37:39Speaker 3: if he needs to as a spell running back. But
- 37:42Speaker 3: if they can both go, that's fantastic.
- 37:44Speaker 2: So you asked this question last week. I'll ask it again.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Let's just pick three games. CU, Baylor, CSU, UTSA, Broncos, Rams.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Who has the best chance to win of the Colorado teams?
- 37:57Speaker 3: I'm going to say that the Broncos do.
- 38:01Speaker 1: According to the spreads, it's the Broncos. It's hard for
- 38:04Speaker 1: me to believe the longest shot is CSU to beat UTSA.
- 38:09Speaker 1: That's the highest spread.
- 38:10Speaker 3: They don't have any quarterbacks, dude.
- 38:13Speaker 1: But I don't. It's Texas San Antonio. It's not Texas.
- 38:21Speaker 1: It's 14 points. What am I missing?
- 38:24Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 38:26Speaker 1: Am I wrong here?
- 38:29Speaker 2: I'm with you, bro.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Hey, CSU's playing Texas Tech. They're 14-point dogs. Ah, that
- 38:34Speaker 1: makes sense. No Haney. No, no, no. Texas San Antonio.
- 38:41Speaker 2: That may.
- 38:42Speaker 3: I don't get it.
- 38:43Speaker 2: The football program is only 15, what, 16 years old.
- 38:47Speaker 3: 15 years old. 15.
- 38:48Speaker 1: What's going on here? Anyway, to answer your question, yeah,
- 38:54Speaker 1: it's the Broncos, no doubt. Like, I think this is
- 38:56Speaker 1: a coin flip game.
- 38:57Speaker 2: I do.
- 38:58Speaker 1: I'll give the edge to the Rams, but I think
- 38:59Speaker 1: it's a coin flip game. And with that, let's get
- 39:02Speaker 1: to our favorite part of the week, please.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Jesse. Jesse.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Drunk takes are clips from throughout the week. We slow
- 39:27Speaker 1: them down to half speed. It makes it sound like
- 39:28Speaker 1: we're hammered. What's first, Jesse?
- 39:31Speaker 3: You can't do it. You know why? Because every single time, bro,
- 39:35Speaker 3: we do this.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the problem, though.
- 39:47Speaker 1: You got two guys on delay.
- 39:50Speaker 2: You're way off.
- 39:52Speaker 1: You got two guys on delay.
- 39:54Speaker 2: You can't do it.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Was Mosher again singing Michael McDonald?
- 40:00Speaker 2: God, that sounds terrible.
- 40:01Speaker 1: There is no way. I don't think we're ever going
- 40:04Speaker 1: to do it.
- 40:05Speaker 2: What's sad.
- 40:06Speaker 1: We can't hear Mike McDonald and not play the Michael
- 40:08Speaker 1: McDonald music. You can't.
- 40:09Speaker 2: What's sad about hearing that is that my voice is
- 40:11Speaker 2: so angelic, just isolated, and yet it's warped. with you
- 40:16Speaker 2: two guys bookending my angelic voice.
- 40:19Speaker 1: What's next, Jesse?
- 40:21Speaker 3: Shanahan seems to have the, seems to have the.
- 40:26Speaker 5: The number, the number there.
- 40:32Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 40:37Speaker 2: It's seriously bad.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Alfonso, turn your camera on. I can't see you.
- 40:40Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 40:41Speaker 1: I just figured it out. That's Portuguese.
- 40:44Speaker 3: Is that what that is?
- 40:45Speaker 1: The demon is speaking Portuguese.
- 40:46Speaker 3: My esophagus is speaking Portuguese. Stop it, all right? Oh,
- 40:50Speaker 3: my God, dude.
- 40:52Speaker 2: That noise was made by your stomach.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Hang on, hang on.
- 40:57Speaker 3: It was actually up here in the throat area.
- 40:59Speaker 1: I don't watch the show Stranger Things, but if you're
- 41:02Speaker 1: in any horror movie with a demonic monster chasing you
- 41:05Speaker 1: and he's about to swallow you whole, this is the
- 41:08Speaker 1: last thing you hear. What's next?
- 41:15Speaker 2: It's the ultimate... It's the double-edged sword.
- 41:22Speaker 3: Did you say sword?
- 41:24Speaker 2: It's a sword. Yeah, this is a sword.
- 41:28Speaker 3: You said sword.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Let me tell you something about the English language. If
- 41:33Speaker 2: you could throw an S and a W and then
- 41:37Speaker 2: an O, I'm going to give it The W. It's
- 41:41Speaker 2: a sword. And that's not my problem that the English
- 41:45Speaker 2: language added that.
- 41:50Speaker 3: W.
- 41:50Speaker 1: What's next?
- 41:52Speaker 2: It's easy because they get you right away. They get
- 41:56Speaker 2: you on time. They give you that window. And they
- 42:00Speaker 2: arrive at the time they give you in the window.
- 42:07Speaker 1: That's what a good company does, Vic. Very nice. Shout
- 42:11Speaker 1: out Triple A. What's next?
- 42:13Speaker 2: I just want to thank God, man.
- 42:16Speaker 5: I just thank him for everything, for letting me live
- 42:19Speaker 5: this moment and to walk these shoes, you know, to
- 42:22Speaker 5: be around a good group of people. Mental toughness, you know,
- 42:26Speaker 5: is one of the keys to emphasis on defense. You know,
- 42:29Speaker 5: I feel like we just played out again tonight. But,
- 42:31Speaker 5: you know, it's definitely a fun challenge going against a
- 42:34Speaker 5: guy like that, you know, and I hope you get healthy.
- 42:36Speaker 2: You know what's funny?
- 42:38Speaker 3: That's Dallas Turner.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Dallas Turner was speaking normal.
- 42:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 42:42Speaker 1: When you slow him down.
- 42:43Speaker 2: When you have him normal and get the auctioneer approach
- 42:46Speaker 2: to it, it's a different deal.
- 42:48Speaker 1: What's next, Jesse?
- 42:48Speaker 2: All right, Nelly, cue.
- 42:51Speaker 3: Up the tape.
- 42:53Speaker 2: My walk-off question. Mark Long, will the Broncos indeed beat
- 43:02Speaker 2: that ass?
- 43:06Speaker 3: You know, I don't– they're not going to beat that ass.
- 43:12Speaker 2: I can tell you that.
- 43:13Speaker 1: That's a great question.
- 43:16Speaker 3: All right. We've had two longs on in consecutive weeks.
- 43:22Speaker 3: Mark Long out of Jacksonville and J.B. Long today.
- 43:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:27Speaker 3: Again.
- 43:27Speaker 2: How are we long next week?
- 43:28Speaker 3: How are we long coming up next week?
- 43:31Speaker 1: That's not our mission. We get a long on the
- 43:32Speaker 1: show at some point every week. Broncos and Rams Sunday
- 43:36Speaker 1: night football. Can't wait. We'll discuss it all on Monday.
- 43:39Speaker 1: On the way out, can I hear Mosher's stomach one
- 43:41Speaker 1: more time, Jesse, please? One more time.
- 43:47Speaker 2: It's a number. It's a number.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Remember that going into the weekend. Have a great weekend.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Love you. See you.
