• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane on demand.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Listen live every weekday morning from 7 to 10 on
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I vow to the public. Hey, public, listen. No matter
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: how the Broncos do it, If they emerge tonight with
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: more points than the Seahawks, you will not hear me
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: complain about the offense tomorrow. This is one of those
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: games where I don't care how you get to the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: finish line, just get there. I promise you, I vow it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: On my honor. Can you guys share my vow? Can
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: we share vows?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I'm in with your vow.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: So we can exchange vows right now.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Vows, yes.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I vow to honor this team forever. If it wins
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: tomorrow morning, no matter how it wins, I shall not
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: say anything negative, critical about the opposite.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: I can't promise that. I can't go that far. So
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: glad I couched that at the end of it. So glad.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you guys are talking about. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: thought it was just art last night.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: No, it was.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It was one of the most artistic performances I've seen
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: on home soil in quite some time. I mean, when
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you average, I mean, the average pass traveled behind the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, you throw for 107 yards.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: 107.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You hit triple digits last night. Vic, no, no, no.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: It was art. It's the kind of art where you
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: put paint in your butt and you fart it onto
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: a canvas. That was the offense.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know what.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You're referring to. They're 4-2. They're 4-2. It was a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: gauntlet of a schedule. That's the defending Super Bowl champion,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and you outscored them by three points. This is so interesting.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I did the postgame show last night, and you didn't
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: sound this way.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're referring to. I don't know
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: who you're talking about. Clearly, the Broncos came to play,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and offensively, they did their part.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: All right. Can I say something real quick?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So we can exchange vows right now.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I think this is a compliment. I do mean this
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: as a compliment somehow. And it's hard for us to
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: get there because we watch Jokic every single game. But
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I have to imagine, like, as a national basketball fan
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: or somebody who's a fan of another team, like the
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: first time they watched Jokic have one of his Jokic games, right?
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: The first time they saw it. You had to be
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: thinking to yourself, this is the most... remarkable thing in
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: that everything he does works but it doesn't look like
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: it should work and it's awkward and i don't know
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: if i trust it and all these the denver broncos
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: are legitimately one of the most fascinating things i've had
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: the pleasure to cover in my life.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Well you weren't around for tebow Correct. No, same thing. Yeah,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that was so fascinating. They're making a documentary about it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: This is Tebow 2.0 is what this is right now.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It's Tebow 2.0, maybe even more so.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: I'm going to struggle today.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't understand what the struggle is. 17 points, dude. Vic. Again,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: number one defense.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Vic.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You got it, man. You got it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: You got it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, Moshe, Moshe, you averaged in the second half, you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: averaged two and a half yards per drive. What more
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: do you want? Moshe, Moshe, two and a half yards
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: per drive average in the second half. That's freaking pounding
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the rock.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Bumblebee tuna, bumblebee tuna.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Dude, I just, Brett, this morning, let me get some
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: thoughts out because I feel like I'm going to be
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: pretty silent most of the day.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: That's great for radio.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Well, you guys can do.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Your little tickle fight, that sort of thing.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Well, there's no tickle fight.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Because what I want to do today is I want
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: to blow.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: This thing up on one side of the football. Vic,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: when I watch, the funny part is, I don't know
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: how these guys operate. I don't know how their brains operate.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know what goes on. But I'm thinking to myself, Brett, okay.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Let's say you throw a pick in the fourth quarter.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: You're down 14-11, okay? Let's say you just throw an
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: out pattern and let the guy jump it because who
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: knows what.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: You're trying to do, okay?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And then you go to the sideline, and the coach
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: says to you, you actually get a field goal, which
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: is crazy because.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: It should have been over. Coach goes to you and
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: goes like this. All right, listen. We're going to overtime.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Thank God.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: We dodged that bullet with that pick late in the fourth. Okay,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, but here's what you don't do.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Okay. Don't throw another pick. Okay. All right. So, so just,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: you got me, Sam?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: You're Super Bowl champion, right? Just don't do that again.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Just whatever you do, don't do that. Okay. Yeah, that hurts.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: And because their offense, dude, is going backwards.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: We don't need to do anything.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: They would have been better off punting on first down.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: We should just tie. Okay. So whatever you do. Don't
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: throw an out pattern and let the guy jump it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: All right? High five.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Ready?
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Seahawks on three. Three, two, one, Seahawks.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Then he throws a pick.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: These players and teams do the dumbest things on the world.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, hang on, hang on.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Against the Denver Broncos. It just.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Okay. I know you guys are like.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: You feel like I'm hitting you with a cattle prod
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: if I give you numbers, but please, please let me.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Because you need to know these. Guys, if you're listening
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: right now, if you're about to go into work, stop.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Stay in your car right now and listen to the
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: numbers I'm going to give you.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I'm abiding by the vows I gave you yesterday, just
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: so we know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Here are the records of active quarterbacks, notable active quarterbacks
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: in the NFL, when they finish a game with six
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: yards per attempt or less.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Okay? Okay?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford in his career in games in which he
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: throws for six yards per attempt or less is 15
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: and 39. Aaron Rodgers, pretty good quarterback, yeah? 17 and 32.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Jared Goff is 7 and 23. Dak Prescott is.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: 9 and 21.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Bo Nix is 13 and 3. He's 13 and 3.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I'll give you something else. Hey, he keeps going.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Listen, listen.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: This is impossible, Brett.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Listen, listen to me.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Bo Nix's longest completion last night traveled seven yards in
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the air.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: 7.6.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Not a single pass. Do not leave off the. 6.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Not a single pass was completed past 7.6 yards, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: it gets even better. There are 701 quarterback seasons through
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: six games in the past 20 years. Bo Nix's average
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: pass length of 4.9 air yards per attempt this year
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: is 701st out of 701. Dead last in the last
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: 20 years, the Broncos are 4-2. Guys, you are watching
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: something That is quite literally impossible. It's impossible. Impossible is it?
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I don't even think it's a strong enough word for it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Here's another one. The Denver Broncos won a game with
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: fewer than 175 total yards for the first time since 1983.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: It's impossible.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the listening and viewing audience out
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: there understands what I'm saying.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen... What they are doing.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: This season, especially against that schedule, if this was against
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the dog butt Titans and dog butt Dolphins and dog
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: butt Dolphins, But if it was against those teams and
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you're 4-2, with these numbers, Brett, with this evidence, I
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: would be going, phew.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: They're lucky.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: But you did it against the murderer's row.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It's impossible.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: It's the best teams the league has to offer. Mother
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: trucking impossible. It's the best teams you could possibly face.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: And I'm not even kidding, Vic, in the first half.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Back-to-back touchdown drives, for my money, the best offensive drives
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: of the season were back-to-back TDs in the second quarter.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: You ate almost nine minutes off a play clock on
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: a touchdown drive where you ran the football effectively, you
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: punched it, you picked up third downs, punched it in
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the end zone, in the red zone. You did that
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: twice in a row. And I seriously thought to myself,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I cannot wait. to do tomorrow's show and talk about
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: an offense that showed up and played well. Like, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: was so excited for it. Here's the issue. In those
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: two drives, you want to do some quick math in
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: the morning, Moshe? You're a smart guy. You tell me.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: What is, so that was a 74-yard drive, the first touchdown,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: 79 the second. Give me 74 plus 79. What is it?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: That is 153. 153 yards.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: The Broncos finished with 168. How many more yards did
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: they get outside of those two drives?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: 15.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: 15 yards! Outside of two drives! They won!
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: They won the game!
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I will not let a couple morning show radio hosts
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: demean or denigrate this offense. This offense is 4-2. This
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: quarterback is 4-2. They have gone through a really rough
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: patch schedule-wise. One of the roughest I've ever seen. But
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: they have emerged with four wins and two losses. This
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: offense is fine. You know what else? Your cell phone
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: is as bad as the offense right now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: So we're doing the postgame show last night, so I
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: don't get a chance to listen to Prime. But I'm looking.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: I still have my TV on. I'm looking at it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I ain't Fitzpatrick. Seems really fired up.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: He's getting crazy about something. It's really fired up. I
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: don't think I've ever heard, and you guys correct me
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: if I'm wrong here. I don't think I've ever heard
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: a studio analyst on one of these major networks that
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: covers the game. They're usually pretty like down the middle.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: They'll say somebody played poorly or something like that. I've
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: never heard somebody say this. about a winning quarterback in
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: the game that they're covering.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Bo Nix is not playing competitively. It's almost disrespectful to
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: the quarterback position how.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: He's playing football.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: What do you mean? What do you mean when you see?
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: How is he playing?
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: I mean, first of all, the guy doesn't want to
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: throw the ball.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: He's throwing to the flats. He's throwing behind, but he
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: has no trust from his coach. He calls a screenplay
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: on third and eight. Just run up and let the
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: clock keep going.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: What does he do? He throws it away. Seattle gets
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the ball. They have a timeout.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: And then in overtime, he's got two chances to be competitive.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: The last one being a designed run for him to run.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: Make somebody miss, and get a first down for your
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: football team. Now they're in the locker room right now.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: They're excited. They won.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: He's not playing competitive.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Football right now. That's about the quarterback who won the game.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: He won the game.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: But here's the thing. Nothing's wrong that he said.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: And I got a bigger fear than we'll get to
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: this later. Guys, Bo Nix is terrified of contact right now.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: He's horrified of it, and that's scary. You need to
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: take contact at that position. But what did they do? Vic,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: you've been begging for the Broncos to call designed quarterback runs.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: They did it. That's not going to work if you
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: aren't willing to take contact, man.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I just want to get through this first segment because
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: then I can, I'm just, you know, I, I had
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a vow and I, and I promise and I've got
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to do all my stuff. So let, let's just get
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: through this first segment. And then I'll go to motion.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Let me just tell you that, you know, I think
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: it's unfair for people to pile on this guy and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: he's four and two and, he's four and two and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they're piling on. Hang on, hang on.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Vic, you've done your penance.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: You're good.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: You're in the clear. Go. You've served your duty.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: After this first segment. No, after this first segment, I mean, listen,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I've got to be true to our listeners and viewers.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And I promised that I would not come down hard
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: on the offense if they won the game. And, and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to after this first segment, then I will.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: But that's just the way it is. I don't understand
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: all the complaining. I've got a bunch of my friends
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: out there who are all over the internet saying he's fine.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: And then, You know, Ryan Fitzpatrick is a terrible player,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and he's not worthy of providing any opinions on the position.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And I don't understand why everybody's just jumping all over this. Obviously,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the coach is fine with it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Shut him off until he returns to a normal human being, please.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: You don't even get to talk.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, just shut him off. You don't get
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: to talk the rest of this segment. They've won back-to-back games.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Shut him off, please.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: To be fair, Vic, you've said you weren't going to
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: complain about You didn't say, I'm going to lie. Because
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You're lying.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Pinocchio.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Mosher, over there down on the floor by the stool
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: behind you, do we still have the Bo Nix and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the Sean Payton candles? Because I think we need to release.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Victim as fast as we can.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, they're right there.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Wait, so you heard Fitzpatrick say his thing?
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Name a quarterback turned broadcaster who actually spent time in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the quarterback room with Bo Nix. His name is Ben DiNucci. Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Wait till you see what he said.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Can you text DiNucci? Text DiNucci. We talked to him
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: earlier this week, but he was busy, right, Nelly?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we tried to get him on on Monday, but
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: DiNucci's a busy man. Okay, so.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: obviously a lot to break down with this game and
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: I do want to give proper due to the defense
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: because I'm not even kidding for them for this team
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: to win that way this defense might be the greatest
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: defense it's ever lived it might and that's not even hyperbole.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Because you're talking about who you're missing out of the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: lineup and you're still that good it's incredible incredible So.

  Speaker 4: Denver Broncos. Please enjoy responsibly. All right, so, Vic, you're absolved.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: You've played your penance, or you've done your penance. You're done,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: so go ahead.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I just contacted Ben DiNucci, who had something to say
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: via social media. He's going to join us here shortly.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: And Ben, if you don't know, spent some time with
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. In fact, he was called upon last
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: year during the AFC Championship week when Bo Nix was out.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: He came in to help with the Bronco quarterback room.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: He's going to join us and provide his analysis. What
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this morning, And this really
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: bothers me. Anytime somebody offers an opinion about Bo, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: let's say that opinion comes from a Ryan Fitzpatrick or
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: perhaps Ben DiNucci, who you're going to hear from.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Or Dan Orlovsky.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Or Dan Orlovsky. What is the common reaction to the Bo,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to call, I don't want to
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: denigrate because I love the kid. What is the common
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: reaction from the blind?
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: About those quarterbacks and their opinions.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, that they were backups and they couldn't accomplish anything
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: in their career. Why are you criticizing somebody who's been
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: to a playoff game before?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Like that stuff, yeah. That's the easy way to go, right?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Of course. That's the easy way to go. And I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: think being that blind to the problem does that to you.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I get it. It's almost like your own kid, right?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Your teacher says something about the kid and you just,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you're blind to it. You got a blind spot and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that's fine.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: That's what we're here for. But this is, it's a
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: really stupid way to go about life is to not
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: argue the person's arguments, to argue the actual person is dumb.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: So Ben's going to join us at 8. Here's what
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: he had to say this morning in reaction to the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick comments last night, which were harsh. They were
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: harsh because he challenged Bo Nix's manhood.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: His competitiveness.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yes. He challenged it last night. And Ben DiNucci, who
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: again spent time in the Broncos locker room, said, quote,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: About time someone said it. Bo looks disinterested, checked out,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and like there are 500 places he'd rather be than
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: on a football field every week. I'm a fan of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the Broncos and wish them the best, but I would
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: rather watch paint dry right now than their offense play football.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Well, this is what I'm talking about, Vic. When they
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: have cold plays, okay, you don't feel comfortable in the
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: passing game right now. That's obvious. And we have Dan
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Orlovsky from ESPN this morning that talked about this that
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: we get to later. You don't feel comfortable in the
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: pass game. What can Bo do? What can he do?
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: He's mobile. He can move. He's athletic. Okay, let's get
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: you going in the run game. But, Vic, if you
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: are unwilling to take contact, then what is it that
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: we can ask you to do?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: He's running as if he's worried about the ankle. He's
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: running as if he has an arthritic hip.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Can I give you an example, a prime example of this?
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: They called a designed run for Bo Nix to the left.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: I believe it was like second and four, something like that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Bo Nix sees it's– Not blocked up. There's two or
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: three guys that are in front of him at the
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. He could have done what every quarterback does,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: which is dive head first, because you usually don't take
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: contact when quarterbacks are diving. Dive head first, maybe pick
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: up a yard or two, get third and short on
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: third down.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: What did he do?
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: You guys remember?
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He sort of went fetal position.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: No, he threw it at the feet of his running
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: back on a running play. And the first thing I
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: said is.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: On the right-hand side over on the near sideline, Vic.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: The first thing I said is, that's in... Ineligible man downfield.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: It has to be.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: There was a run play. And sure enough, it was
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: a five yard penalty. He got a five yard penalty
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: that took you into third and long because he was
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: unwilling to take contact. And if I'm a teammate, I'm like, bro,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: we play football. You're going to have to take a
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: hit sometimes. I know you're the quarterback, but that is
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: to quote Ryan Fitzpatrick. That's competitiveness.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about the series after the interception? I
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: honestly can't remember what it was because this, this to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: me was the, the interception was made with a minute. Uh,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I believe a minute 27 to play in the game
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and they had plenty of time to milk some clock.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: You figure the game is over by now.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: It was the, it was the Vic. Let me tell you,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: it was the second to last possession. The last possession
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: of first half was just one play. It was the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: second to last possession.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Of the fourth quarter.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: This is the one I'm looking at right now. Um,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: You have a chance after Darnold throws a pick by
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: uh Abrams Drain right he makes the pick and you're
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: like okay he steps in front of uh Torrey Horton
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: this game is over the Broncos can milk the clock
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: make them use all their timeouts the Denver Broncos proceeded
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: after that interception to produce for the world on national
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: television a 15 second drive all you needed was a
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: first down and you win. Listen, listen for the world
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: on their home field for the world, for all to see,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: they gave you a 15 second drive. I am sure
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: that this morning, and we're going to talk to Danucci
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: about this because he's been in those coaches meetings. Sean
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Payton's proud. He's proud of himself, his offense, his legacy.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: He's proud. Can you imagine what is going through those
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: coaches' meetings this fall?
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine the gritted teeth with which he had
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to speak last night? Could you imagine? Because for people
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that don't understand this business, the last thing he's going
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to do is pile on his quarterback. He can't. He can't.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: It would signal the end. He can't do that.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: And Bo is too fragile, I think, to handle anything
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And his teammates, they're not going to do it either.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: There's a line you don't cross. You don't do it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: But other people are. Observers are. Analysts are. Former quarterbacks are.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: People who know what's really taking place, they are. So
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: for all of you, and I call you fragile as well,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: that can't take the criticism of the quarterback right now
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and don't understand why people are being critical, I'm going
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to ask you. I'm going to ask you right now,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and I want you to answer this question with a
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: yes or no. Can this offense win a Super Bowl?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: With Bo Nix as the quarterback?
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I think they've beaten so many teams that are Super
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Bowl contenders.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: No, but Brett, this offense is worse than it was
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: last year. Yes!
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, so climb the ladder. So that being said, climb
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the ladder to win a Super Bowl right now. The
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: way it's currently constructed and the way it's played. Can
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it do it?
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know they could beat the Dolphins right now
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: with this offense. Okay, so win a Super Bowl. Every
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: fiber of my being, every atom....
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: In my body.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: That was once part of a star, by the way,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: which is kind of a cool thing.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Every atom in my body says it's impossible to win
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl with this offense and this quarterback play.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: It's impossible.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: But this defense is such a.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Baller and people do so many stupid things against the
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Broncos that, you know what, Vic, throw everything I know
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: about life out the window at this point.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Everything.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to read a text here. because I'm
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: getting a lot of these, and again, I think a
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: lot of you folks, you're, what's the word, what's the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: buzzword that the kids use?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Coping.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: You're on the.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Copious right now. You're being served, you're huffing copium.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Keeping amounts of copium right now.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Yes. Because I'm reading a lot of this. If Baltimore
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay can win a Super Bowl with Trent
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Dilfer and Brad Johnson, the Broncos can win it all
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: with Bo Nix. Here's the difference between those teams and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: this team. Go back and look at those offenses. Could
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: those teams run the ball at least?
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Could those teams execute a forward pass of more than 2.3 yards?
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Did they look at times?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Did Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer look at times like
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: he wanted no part of this game?
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: No, they did not look that way.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Are you guys insane? Are you certifiably insane? I don't
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: want to demean our texters who have that point because
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: it's just an opinion, just like mine. Mine can be wrong.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: But what are you watching? What game are you watching?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Did you watch Static last night?
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Well, can I just offer this to you? There is
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: nobody that is happier after a win, typically, than the
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: head coach of a football team. And typically, those guys
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: don't quite care how they get there. Their job is
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: to win, right, Moj? It doesn't matter if it's a
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: 7-3 game or 51-48. But Sean Payton in the offseason,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: repeatedly said, we need to get better in the red zone.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: We need to run the ball better. We need to
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: execute in the passing game better. We need more explosives.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: That's why you go out and you get Jalen Waddle.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: He also said in the offseason, and I believe this
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: is almost verbatim, I'm not naive enough to think that
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: some of those scores couldn't flip because of the way
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: that you won last year.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: He emphasized that, Brett. That was an emphasis all offseason.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: So that tells you one thing. The season starts, the
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: offense still doesn't look great.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: But they're winning.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: What does Sean Payton do? This is not a small thing, man.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: To change play callers midseason is a gigantic decision for
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: a franchise because he knew that wasn't good enough. And
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: you know what he said last night? A very similar
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: tune to what he said in the offseason. I want
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: you to listen to this.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: The record. Meaning I say that, the record, because those
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: wins are hard to get. And so we just played...
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: A real good team. I mean, I feel like we
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: can continue to improve. But being at 4-2 right at
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: this little three-day stretch and then get ready next week.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: That'd be the honest.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: And again, I'm a little bit of a realist to
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: know that 4-2 could easily be 2-4.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: He knows it. When he says 4-2 could easily be 2-4.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: That's what he's saying publicly. Imagine what's being said behind
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: closed doors.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Exactly right. Exactly right.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Just imagine what's being talked about in the coaches' meetings
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: this morning. Davis Webb, Sean Payton, and the rest of
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that offensive staff, they're at that table this morning going,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: what the hell are we going to do with this?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Opposing teams know that he can't do anything. They're stacking
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the box in critical situations. He's going to throw short.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: R.J.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Harvey is like his Jerry Rice right now. I mean,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say, guys. I don't
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: know where to go with this. I know I made
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a vow, and I know I broke that vow. Find
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a divorce attorney. I don't know what to tell you.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: It is not fun to watch. It is disgusting football.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It is disgusting. And the MVP of this team, right
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: now the best player, is not a player. It's Vance Joseph.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Vance Joseph is, I don't know what strings he's pulling,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: but last night he went into that game with his
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: two best defensive backs, Sertan and Ufunga.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: His two best.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: And he didn't skip a beat. He still produced, what,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: five sacks, three turnovers. That's Vance Joseph, baby. He is
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: running the show.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: If Vance Joseph does not get a head coaching gig
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: this offseason... then I want the league shut down because they're,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: they're doing things wrong. I'm not, I know we can
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: say this and be, it sounds like hyperbolic or something.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: I'm asking a legitimate question and I want your responses to,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: to be legitimate in kind truly with how putrid this
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: offense is. This has to be one of the greatest
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: defenses that's ever existed through six weeks. And that is
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: not hyperbole, okay? I want you guys to understand something.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Think about what the defense has to do. It is
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: a 14-3 game at half. And the Broncos totaled 15
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: yards in a second half in overtime. And repeatedly, this defense...
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Think about this. Special teams, Lutz hits the kick to
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: win the game. Good for him. Special teams was garbage
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: last night. They gave up a big kick return. They
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: kicked the ball out of bounds. They had Croshaw hitting
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: 43-yard punts. The amount of possessions they started at midfield
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: that resulted in no points.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Huge.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: They got after the quarterback in unique designed blitzes. It
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: was McMillan. Seven different guys. Got on the stat sheet
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: for sacks last night. How many quarterback hits you had
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: last night, Moshe? 17 of them. 17.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I said going in that you can get to this
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: guy easily, and they did.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: You're doing it without Hufanga and without Pat Sertan, but
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: here's the biggest insult to all of it. The defense
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: gives up a touchdown because you know what? Opposing offenses
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: score sometimes.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: And you know what? After you get pounded in the
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: head because your offense can't stay on the field, it's
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: going to happen.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: They faced 82 plays against that Seahawks offense. They didn't
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: give up a single big play that entire game. No
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: hard that is to do. One mistake. Like, not one mistake.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: 82 different times. And then at the end of the game,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: it's a three-point game. They got to stiffen up because
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: the offense went three and out again. And they need
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: to get a stop. Not only do they get a stop...
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: They get you an interception with a minute 30 left
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: on the clock. You are tasked with one detail. Get
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: 10 yards. Know how far 10 yards is? It's the
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: glass that we're looking at right there. That's 10 yards.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Get that far, and we win the game. Nope, we
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: can't do it. I got to get another stop. It's
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: unbelievable what this defense is doing.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by some of you. There's this one texter,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and there's several of you, 2-5-3-4, who blasted us yesterday
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: for saying anything critical about Bowe. And then this morning,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: his text, guys, guys, guys, calm down. Okay, calm down.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: We're four and two. I'm truly fascinated by people like you.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Because have you ever played sports? Have you ever played sports?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: That's my first question. Do you remember when Nikola Jokic
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: went to the platform, spoke to the media after his
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: team won a few games before the All-Star break? Remember
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: what he said about that?
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he said winning masks things.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Winning masks a lot of things.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: A lot of things.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: This is a large mask, folks. It's a mask that
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: needs to be revealed. It needs to be revealed.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: One of the things that I can compare this to,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: this would be like, Moj, if you're an ace for
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: an MLB team, you're their best starting pitcher, and for
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: five consecutive starts, you go out there and you pitch
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: two innings, you give up eight runs and four homers
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: every night, and your team wins 11 to 9. And
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: it's like, well, why would you complain about the starting pitching?
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: They won. Because it's terrible. Because you're putting way too
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: much pressure on one side of your team.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: See, this is like, to me, this is the same
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: disease that we suffered. The CU honks. Remember when we
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: called out the CU honks? It's the same disease. And
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: we have to rid ourselves of this disease, this blindness
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: that exists with people. When they take it so far,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: they don't see the truth. And maybe that's our purpose
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: in life, to shed light on the truth.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those things where if you choose
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: to ignore what you're seeing on the offensive side of
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: the ball, it'd be like if I come in and
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I got another head growing out of the side of
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: my face.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, you look great, Moshe.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: And you say, Moshe, you got.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: A twin there?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: What are you talking about? Still as handsome as I've
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: ever been, right? No, no, it would more be like.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: You just ignore this thing with teeth and eyeballs coming.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: It would more be like if I said, have you
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: dropped some weight? Like if that's the thing I said
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: to you instead of the obvious, hey, there's a face
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: out of your face.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right, exactly.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with calling out the obvious?
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Vic, there's nothing wrong because I'm telling you right now.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: And I'm being serious here. When I say they're doing
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the impossible, they really are. This is not something that
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: can last. Not with this offense. The defense is eventually
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: going to break down somehow.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Listen, we're still through week six.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: You get me to week 14, and this defense is playing.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: How many more snaps are they playing per game than
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: they should be?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Than they should be because their offense is so putrid.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, just, I'm not even kidding you.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Add up, let's say it's... Oh, what do you want
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: to say, Brett? You want to say.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: 20 more snaps per game?
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Has to be. Okay.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: And then you add that up over the course of
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the next 10. That's 200 extra snaps. I mean, it's
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: just the bodies will wear down eventually.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: All bodies do. You just hope to be able to
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: work your way through it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: It's just not sustainable. And what Vic is saying is correct.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: If you can't handle the truth this morning, and I
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: don't want to be. Listen, when Bo was rolling in
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: that second quarter, When he produced the back-to-back drives, the
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: two best drives of the season, I wrote this in
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: my notebook. I don't know if you can read it
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: from here. I wrote this because I was sitting next
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to DMACC. I'm up in the press box, and I said,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Bo is proving us all wrong, and I love it.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: I thought the same thing.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I said, you go, man. You go, kid.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: And I was proud of him, and I'm looking at it,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm saying, okay, he found it. He found his
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: swagger again. He's good. And then it went away, just
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: like that. Snap of the finger. It went away. He
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: went from competent and confident to scared and brittle. Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: In the blink of an eye. You saw it in
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: front of you. It happened in real time last night.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: And if you did not notice that, if you're blind
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to that, you are blind.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: But why would that happen when he was up 11?
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: What happened? I don't know. I don't know. I think
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: everybody saw it. I don't know the answer. And I
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: don't think they know the answer.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: But one thing I do know is that Sean Payton
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: knows he's got a problem. Most.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Most.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Sean was so confident in the way Bo was playing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: He knows he's got a problem.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: They went for it on fourth down during a drive. Right.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: On their own side of the field.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: And got it. Well, a texture says, I dare you
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: to take my call and let me speak for the people.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: They got a win and you haven't said anything positive.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, please call.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: I believe I just said this might be the greatest
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: defense that's ever existed in history. And Vance Joseph, if
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: he doesn't have a head coaching gig next year, I
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: want to shut the league down.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: That's as positive as I can be.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: But that's the thing that you should be positive about. Again,
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: they won a football game with less than 175 yards
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: of total offense. They averaged 2.9 yards per play. Outside
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: of two drives, they had 15 total yards in that game.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: There is nothing to be happy about on the offensive
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: side of the football. Nothing. I can't point to anything.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: 303-504-0925 for that person texting.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Please call.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I promise I will not jump you. You say your piece.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Please call.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Because, you know, that's what makes shows like this beautiful
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: is a difference in opinion.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: Altitude Sports Radio Saturday is hitting the road tomorrow. Springer
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: is going to be at King Soopers in Louisville starting

  Speaker 4: at 9 o'clock on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5. Ben DiNucci
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: joins us in 20 minutes. Stick around. All right, Ben
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: DiNucci in a few minutes. It is a Bud Light
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Football Friday, but we can go out to the hotline
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: if you guys would like. This, I believe, is the
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: texter who wanted to challenge us in our assessment of
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: the Broncos' 17-14 win last night. So, Tyler, the floor
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: is yours.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, hey guys, good morning. I've been listening since the
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: inception of the morning show, and I appreciate you guys.
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: I've been on the radio a couple times.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: My man.
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: But I think that the problem is that the answer
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: to the question is the Broncos offense did enough. And
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: I've been a Broncos fan for my whole life, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: I watched the Peyton Manning Broncos that had the best
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: offense ever in Broncos history lose in the Super Bowl.
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: because their amazing offense wasn't enough. And then I also
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: watched the year that the Broncos that had the best
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: defense in the history of the Broncos went out and
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: they won the Super Bowl while Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler,
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: who looked mostly terrible that year, didn't do much, but
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: the Broncos defense won them the Super Bowl. So did
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: the Broncos offense do enough? Yes, I think they did.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: Do I have amazing things to say? No, but the
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: tone of the show this morning is that they just
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: beat the Seattle Seahawks. that were ranked number one in
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: most people's top 20s or whatever this year, and the
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: Broncos are four and two coming out of that six-week stretch.
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: They had an offensive coordinator change, and I think you've
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: got to give Bo and Sean Payton time to get
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: back on the same page. So this morning, I think,
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: is a celebratory tone, but it just sounds mostly sad,
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: and all we're doing is talking about how bad the
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: offense is. They won without Pat Sertan and without Talano Hufanga,
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: and we should be breaking out every celebration that we
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: have for this Broncos team.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: All right, Tyler. I appreciate the insight there on how
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to feel. Everybody feels different. And again, Tyler, thanks for listening.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Thanks for being a longtime listener. I'm not going to
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: demean your opinion. I just think we just come from
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: different places here because I've seen this. I think we've
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: all experienced a team that is getting by and getting
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: by somehow, some way. But when it blank hits the fan,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: It's a different story. You just compared this version of
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the Broncos to the championship version, 2015. Gigantic difference. And
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the fact that you said that, you just sort of
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: skipped a beat. Like, are you going to tell me
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: that the Broncos run game this year is similar to C.J.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Anderson and that group that year?
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: That's the point.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Are you going to tell me that, and I covered
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: that team closely. I traveled to every game that year.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I traveled to every game. Are you going to tell
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: me that that team, even with Brock Osweiler handling seven games,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: that that quarterback looks scared? Looks scared? Because I didn't
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: see scared. Peyton Manning was hurt, but not scared.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Here's the big difference, and I think it's such a
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: good point that you made. There's two gigantic stats that
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: I think tell a much different story. That The premise of, well,
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: that team in 2015, Moj, won the Super Bowl with
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: bad offense and a good defense. Understood. Peyton Manning was
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: miserable that year. Had nine touchdowns to 17 picks. But
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: they did something on offense. They ran the football. You
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: need to have one aspect of your offense that works.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: And they don't have that here. J.K. Dobbins, guys, is
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: averaging 3.3 yards per carry. That is garbage in running
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: the football. And so when you can't do that, and
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: you can't pass, and you can't pick up a first down,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: the amount of pressure that strains your defense, and let
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: me repeat something to you. The Seahawks ran 82 plays
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: in that game. And the Broncos' defense... didn't make a
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: single mistake because here's how they lose. You want to
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: know how they lose that game? It's very simple. Somebody
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: has the wrong read in the secondary once. Once out
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: of 82 times, which you know what? Should be expected
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: because bleep happens in football. If they had one mistake
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: that led to a JSN 60-yard touchdown, because the coverage
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: got confused, you lose. Do you understand? Like, it's that easy.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: You get nothing. But that's the thing.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: You cannot ask them to play mistake-free for 250 straight snaps.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: You can't do it.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: And I mentioned earlier, Vic, the extra snaps that these
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: guys are going to start accumulating as the weeks go on.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: They're only human beings.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: But, Vic, when you go to your defense and say, guys,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: you have to be virtually perfect.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: For us to win.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Now go get them.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, they were up to the task last night,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: but that's a hell of an ask.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Hell of an ask.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Um, somebody says here is that same fan who just
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't see, is it Bo's fault? They can't run. I
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, look at Cincinnati's numbers. Can Cincinnati
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: run the football?
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: No.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Does Joe Burrow look like this? No.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of teams that can't run. I
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: will say the Green Bay Packers can't run the ball.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: And Jordan Love threw for what? 400 yards last week.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: The lack of fear that a defense has about Bo
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Nix does not help their run game. They already were
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: kind of limited in the running department. If you weren't
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: completing a pass over seven yards, why the hell would
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: the defense do anything else but like, okay, well, he
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: can't do anything. I'm not going to let you run.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: You guys tell me. It's a decent offensive line that
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: you have. I don't know how good of a run-blocking
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: line it is, but I don't see a lot of
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: holes for these running backs to run through at the
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. The run game is not just
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: the backs, and I agree with you. Here comes this one.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I knew this was going to happen this morning. This
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: was predictable. Greeley Matt, thanks for listening up on Greeley Matt.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: We all come from different places, Vic. Like, why not
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: hold the Nuggets feet to the fire? Your station makes excuses, blah, blah, blah. What?
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: When the Nuggets got eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves, who
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: on the station called out the Nuggets basically for being soft?
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: We all did.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I could not have been more clear That that series
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: was lost after Jaden McDaniels called out every player and
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: they neglected to do a damn thing about it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: We spent like a month talking about this. Killing them
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: We got into an argument with the state of Minnesota
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: about it. They wanted to kill us. Oh, no.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: That was just what's her face.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Really, Matt, you can believe whatever the hell you want.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Whatever makes you sleep at night.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: The day I stop spewing what I believe to be true,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I'm out. On this show. If I don't believe it,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say it. I don't know how
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: hard this is. I want Bo to succeed. I was
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: hoping last night, again, I said it. Please shut us
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: all down. Shut us all up.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: I love the kid.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I love his story. I love him. Please shut us
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: all down and enjoy your career. Get your money.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: Let's go. You did the opposite.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Who cares?
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing, man. I'll repeat kind of where my
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: angst comes from with the Broncos offense, and Moj, this
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: is genuine, because I really like Bo Nix, and I
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: would love for him to succeed. I would love it.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: As would I.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Do you think we want to continue to go through
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: this again?
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: We don't.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: But my frustration is born from the idea you have
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: a very good football team that can compete for a championship,
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: and I want another parade in this city, because parades
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: are fun. If you had an average offense, if you
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: had an offense that was okay, that was subpar, this
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: team is winning games by two or three touchdowns. That's
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: how good of a defense you have. And I'm concerned
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: that it's going to be wasted because the quarterback of
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: your football team straight up is playing scared right now.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: He's scared to make a mistake. He's scared to push
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: the ball downfield. He's scared to take contact. He's scared
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: to take off and run. Here, I'll give you this.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Here is.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: Here's Dan Orlovsky on Get Up this morning.
• 43:46
  Speaker 9: Denver's quarterback just doesn't want the football, and he certainly
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: doesn't want the football in high-leverage situations. You're watching a
• 43:52
  Speaker 9: quarterback that plays in a you-take-the-ball type of mindset right now,
• 43:56
  Speaker 9: meaning anybody else but me. And it's this thought process of, well,
• 44:00
  Speaker 9: as long as somebody else has the football, the mistake
• 44:03
  Speaker 9: is going to be on them. And it's the perfect
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: example when people say, well, that's a good decision by
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: the quarterback.
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: There's a difference between good and right. A good decision
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: means something bad didn't happen. A right decision means did
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: we do the right thing on that play? And multiple
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: examples of that last night, I think Denver and Sean Payton,
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: you're concerned.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: He went on for the next two minutes to do
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: what we've seen over and over again the last couple
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: of weeks of running plays. And this isn't on Davis Webb.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: This isn't on Sean Payton. Because again this week, Dan
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Orlovsky put on the big board plays where there are
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: wide open receivers, 15 to 20 yards downfield. That he
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: doesn't motion. He doesn't even allow, on half of these plays,
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: a receiver to get out of his break before he's
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: dumping it off to R.J. Harvey. That is a quarterback
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: who's playing scared.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Scared.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: And the question is, how the hell do you fix that?
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but you've got 10 days to do it.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: When they got the two-point conversion to cut it to
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: three and the Broncos got the ball back and win
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: a smooth three and out again, In fact, they lost
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: three yards on that drive. It was first and ten.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Play action. Bull rolls to his right. He had his
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: tight end with four yards of space. Stared right at him. Said, nah.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: And remember what he did there? He just sort of
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: kept running and he lost three yards.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: He just, instead of throwing the ball out of bounds,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: he just kept.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: Just ran out of bounds. Stopped the clock, too. Stopped
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: the clock, yeah.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Stopped the clock, stopped everything.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: If you're going to take the loss, at least sit
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: down in bounds.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: And I looked at the replay, and I said, okay, well,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: everybody must have been covered. And then they showed the replay,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: and the tight end was wide open by NFL staff.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: It was right in front of them.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know, as a coach, how you go to
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: the tape this morning and say, what is this?
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: Well, somebody might have some info on that. I mean, look,
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: he knows Bo Nix. He was in the room last
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: year in pretty critical situations in the playoffs. It's Ben DiNucci.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: He joins us in just a couple of minutes.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Stick around.
