  Speaker 2: Adam Schefter. Denver is in my soul. It's always a
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: part of me.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: This just now breaking in the NFL.

• 0:50
  Speaker 5: All right, let's head out to the Ramos Law Hotline.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: Car accident, you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: We're joined as we are every Monday by Adam Schefter.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: A very busy Monday for him. So first of all, Adam,
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: thank you for the time this morning.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: How are you holding up?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Doing great. How are you guys doing?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Doing great. So the Broncos get this win yesterday.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: And the big question is, you know, we're 24 hours-ish,
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: a little over that, from the trade deadline. Heard that
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: maybe they were calling around about Trey McBride. What do
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: you think the Broncos might do in the coming day?
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: I think they're going to work the phones. I think
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: they're going to look to make a move. I can
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: see various things. Like when you win a game before
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: the bye week and you're sitting there 7-2 and you
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: beat a lot of good teams, I think that you
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: want to look at every opportunity you can to just
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: shore up any spot you can, whether that's safety, whether
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: that's tight end, whether that's anywhere.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: On their team running, like.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: Whatever they feel like they need to do, I would
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: think that you feel emboldened coming off a win like
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: that and a bye week heading into the trade deadline
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: to go make a move.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Now, again, it takes two to tango and I.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Can expect them to be active to make a deal,
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: but unless there's something that makes sense, they're not going
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: to make a deal just to make a deal, right?
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: But I can tell you that they're going to spend
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: the next two days looking at for an upgrade or
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: two on that roster, if they can.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: You're so right, though, Adam. It could not happen at
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: a better time for the Broncos with the bye week
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: ahead and a chance, whoever, if they get somebody, to
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: come in here and implement the scheme and all that,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: that they can learn. When is the exact deadline? What
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: time is the deadline tomorrow?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: 4 Eastern, 2 Mountain tomorrow.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Okay. All right. So you're going to be busy here
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: for the next 24 hours.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, you know, we've already got nine trades in.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: Since the end of September, nine, including the one this
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: morning that sent Jesse Bates to Jacksonville. But you had
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Jesse Bates, Jacoby Brissett, Jeffrey Simmons, DeForest Buckner, Quinton Nelson,
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison, Cam Juergens, Joy Reporter, J.J.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: McCarthy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Those are some pretty big names already, right? And now
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I think we're waiting to see, does Jonathan Taylor join
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: that list?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Who else joins that list? And I think those are
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the questions that remain up in the air right now.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor's already saying goodbye. I mean, his post-game press
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: conferences are basically goodbye press conferences. What team, if you
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: had to name a team that had the edge in
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: the Jonathan Taylor sweepstakes, who would it be?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm having a hard time with right now.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Because the Giants and the Colts haven't spoken in a week.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: You know, the price has been too rich for the
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Broncos and Vikings and Packers. So are the Colts going
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: to bring back somebody who clearly would like to go
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: play for a team that's going to win? Are they
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: going to wait until the offseason to try to trade
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: him then? How are they going to handle that? It's
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: one thing to think that you're going to trade Jonathan Taylor,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: but you're not just going to do it just to
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: dump him. You're going to do it because it makes sense.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: And right now, I don't know if they have a
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: trade that makes sense right now.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Adam Schefter with us.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: All conversations with Adam are brought to you by Johnson
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Auto Plaza, a huge selection of Chevy, Buick, GMC, Ram,
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: and Jeep all in one place. Experience the power of
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: the plaza at Johnson Auto Plaza. Is Derrick Henry on
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: the market?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: No.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: No?
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, there are teams that are calling, and there
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: will be, I'm going to guess, more teams that call,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: but I was told that Baltimore's not trading.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Now, here's what I also want to say. We could
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: say that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Baltimore's not trading regularly, Derrick Henry, and I fully believe
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: that and expect that to be the case, but for
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: all I know, someone's going to call and make an
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: offer that they can't refuse. Tennessee wasn't trading Jeffrey Simmons.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: They were not.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: I can't tell you how many times I spoke to
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: that team like, yeah, we're not going to trade him.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: We're not going to trade him. They just traded Jeffrey Simmons.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Well, why? Because they were offered two ones and a four.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: Now, I don't think Derrick Henry's fetching two ones and
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: a four, but does somebody step up and give Baltimore
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: something that makes the Ravens think. Again, I do not
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: expect the Ravens to trade Derrick Henry. I do not
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: expect the Raiders to trade Kirk Cousins. I do not
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: expect the Jets to trade Brees Hall. I do not
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: expect the Eagles to trade Saquon Barkley. I do not
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: expect all those people.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So, yeah. But you just never know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Adam Schefter with us.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Do you think.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: How about I ask it this way? The Broncos are
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: going to be active in making phone calls. Do you
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: think it's more likely that those calls would result in
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: a tight end or a running back?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Tight end right now. But I think it could be
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a safety, too.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I was going to ask you about that, given their
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: safety situation and all the injuries. Right now, they need
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: depth because you never know. Now, why? Is Sean Payton
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: just more content with his running back room than his
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: tight end room? Is that what it stems from? Or
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: do they need a game-breaking tight end in your eyes?
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I saw your Trey McBride report. That would be unreal.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Well, but, you know, Trey McBride's like the best. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: remember Brock Bowers, the two best tight ends in the game, right? Like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: and when you hear that, it's like, oh, well, you're
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: calling Trey McBride. Well, then somebody should call the Bills
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: and make an offer for Josh Allen.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Like, what the heck? That's very tight to me, right?
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Like, I mean, you know, and Trey McBride's from Fort Morgan.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: He went to Colorado State. Like, you just, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: you never know. But some of these things, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: they're just.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Outrageous, as I said. Like, they're outrageous, but they're fun. So, again,
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: I just think they're looking to fill in the blanks.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: What are the odds that you think Minnesota ends up
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: with another quarterback by the end of tomorrow?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't think so, but I don't rule
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it out.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Like, here's the thing. Tell me how tonight's game goes.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: Tell me exactly how that goes. Like, do they get
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: good play from Carson Wentz? Do they not get good play?
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Kyler Murray's got a grade two hamstring. Are they comfortable to.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Get him back in a week or two or not?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: You know, do they win or lose tonight? What's it
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: look like?
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Like, that's the thing that I think people have to understand. Like,
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: everything gets factored in. and changes the dynamics around a
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: particular situation. So what I say to you this morning
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: may be entirely different at 1130 Eastern, 930 Eastern Mountain
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Time tonight.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you this. The Broncos obviously are sold
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: on Bo Nix. Do you think anyone's ever made an
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: inquiry with all these quarterbacks moving around on any of
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: the Bronco backup quarterbacks?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: And they're just unwilling to part with them?
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: You know, again, I don't know. I heard Jared Stidham's
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: name last week. Like, oh, that's what teams could look at.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Who knows what that means, right? Like,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: did somebody call them or not? I don't know the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: answer to that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: But did I hear Jared Stidham's name come up last week?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: I have no idea what that was about. But that
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: name came up to me once for a team last week.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Do you think that the Chargers are going to do anything?
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're 0-4 still this season, but it doesn't
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: look like they're really putting anybody out there.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: That's the great.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: And by the way, this is consistent with what we're
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: talking about. Like, to me, Khalil Mack is in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: last year of his contract.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: He's going to leave. If you got a... We'll make
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: this up.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: A fourth-round pick back for Khalil Mack. And I don't
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: know what his value would be on an expiring contract.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: At his age. Why would you not take that? But
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: they have been.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: They have been firmly of the mind telling everybody that's called, no,
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: we're not trading Khalil Mack. No, we're not trading Ladd McConkie. No,
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: we would never trade Justin Herbert. No, that guy, Quentin
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Johnson on an expiry, not available. I understand you want
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: a culture, but the culture right now is 0-8. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: it's about building to the future. And the way to
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: build for the future is would be to take a
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: veteran like Cleo Mack, as popular as he is, as
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: respected as he is, and to trade him for a,
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: I'm guessing, I don't even, they won't even consider that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: I'm guessing somebody would give up a fourth round pick,
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: maybe more, maybe someone give up a three.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Like, you're not going to do that?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: They've said, they've been very firm, we're not going to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: do that. Now, could they? Could they change their mind
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: at 0-8? They lost again.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: Somebody calls up, that's what we're talking about, right? Like,
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: They've been very firm. No, we're not doing that. No,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: we're not doing that. And that's what I'm expecting right now.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: But the rubber hits the road 4 p.m. Eastern to
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Mountain Time tomorrow. And we'll know for sure that that
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: is in fact the case.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Well, the Colts have been active. When's the last time
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: you can recall a team embarking on this kind of
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: fire sale? over the last couple weeks before the deadline?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Well, Vic, let's see how many more players are traded.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Like, if it's just those two, I would say the
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: New York Jets last year traded Susco and Williams. Like,
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: there are teams that make moves every year. If the
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Colts don't trade anybody else, it's not all that unusual.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: If they trade more, yes, It's more of what you're
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: talking about, but that's still up in the air. They
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: need a trade partner for Jonathan Taylor. I could see
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Josh Downs being traded. That I could see happening. So
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: we'll see.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Again, all these things are right now up in the air.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Last question for you, Adam. Which team do you think
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: has racked up the most minutes on that telephone?
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: I think the teams that are winning and that are
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: positioned well, like Denver, like Jacksonville, like Chicago, like Green Bay,
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: like teams that are in a position, San Francisco, to do.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Something here, they've all been burning up the lines. That's
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the job of the front office right now.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: So to think that somebody's not on the phone means
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: that somebody's not doing their job.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is their Super Bowl week. Last one for me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: You've been in the business a long time. You've been
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: in a lot of media rooms and post-game press conferences.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton yesterday accused a reporter of smoking a cigarette.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Who was the last reporter you actually witnessed smoking a
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: cigarette during a press conference? Do you recall anyone? In
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: your history.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think in my 39 years of covering it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever seen anybody smoking a cigarette
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: in a press conference.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Have you?
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: No. That's why it was so out in the field.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. When's the last year
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: you were here, Adam, in Denver?
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: I started covering the Broncos in 1990. My last year
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: covering the Broncos was 2004.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, so wait.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: You were here for the one year in which Jim
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Leland was the manager of the Rockies.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: He was smoking cigarettes.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Was he blowing smoke in your face? You ever cover
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: a Rockies game?
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: I didn't cover the Rockies, but I know that, yeah,
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: I think from what I understand, he was a smoker, right?
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: He smoked during the game, didn't he, Vic?
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, he would smoke. He would hide them during the
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: game underneath his mouth like this. It was hilarious. But
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you caught Sean Payton. That was
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: so funny. He was so like, hey, hey, hey, put
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: that down.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was unusual. I've never seen that. And I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: don't ever remember. Okay.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: No.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: All right, Adam. Get back to it. I got your
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: notifications on my phone, okay? They're ready to go.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: So whatever you send out, we'll get. Adam Schefter joins
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: us every week. Always appreciate it, Adam.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You guys have a great day.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Adam Schefter, ESPN.com.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: All conversations with Adam brought to you by Matthews Fine
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Watches and Jewelry in the Highlands Ranch Town Center and
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: online at MatthewsFineWatches.com.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: He had to think it was a vape, right?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Not an actual cigarette.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: It was Sean Keillor. The Denver Post columnist who has,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I've seen him at press conferences. He always has a
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: pen in his mouth. And I'm surprised those pens haven't
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: broken and you got the ink all over your face.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: But a proper response, if I put myself in Sean's
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: shoes and Coach accused me of smoking a cigarette, my
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: response would have been, Coach, this is not a cigarette.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: This is crack cocaine.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine. Very interesting, by the way.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: He said it's more likely the Broncos get a safety
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: or tight end than a running back.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I thought about safety, bro. I thought about it as
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: I'm watching that game yesterday. And I don't know the
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: future of the starting safeties, how extensive their injuries are.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: I thought about that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Hufanga was practicing, so he's got to be close to
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: coming back. So what's going on with Brandon Jones?
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: But you tell me. They've been giving up yards. Have
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: they not?
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: They have. Yeah, they have.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: So we'll get back to this in just a little
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: bit as we broadcast in this rally house.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Football Monday on Altitude Sports Radio. Back after this.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Can we not smoke in here?
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Please.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're not smoking. You got a pencil. I'm sorry.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I thought you were smoking. I owe you.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: But I was just, I had a flashback thinking, who's
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: smoking a cigarette?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: All right. I'm sorry.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: So weird.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: That he would feel like he is the only one
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: to point out that somebody is smoking in the press conference.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: It's the most... It's one of the odd moments I've
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: seen in a press conference in my life. I don't know, man. Coaches,
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: a friend of mine, when I was in South Bend
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: over the weekend, these friends were talking about coaches, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I said, guys, you have to understand about coaches. With
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: all due respect to our boy Mike Sanford, he might
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: even attest to this. Coaches, especially football coaches, are some
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: of the most, what's the word I'm looking for? I
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: don't want to offend. sheltered because they live in their
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: caves and then they come out and see the sun
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: and they don't know what's going on and they like
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: react weirdly to things because literally during football season it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: football 24 7 literally that's all they do and so
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: they again they pop out of that cave and they're
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: like wait are you smoking it's just crazy stuff like.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: It it would be like hey can you put down
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: the jack daniels while you're asking me the question It's like,
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: I don't think anybody's going to be chugging whiskey at
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: the press conference.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Dude, dude, dude, dude. Okay. If I were bold, if
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: I were, if this was the Vic of 10 to
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: 15 years ago, where I pretty much did what, I
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: did anything. I didn't care what anybody thought. You know
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: what I would do at the very next Broncos press conference, right?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: You put an unlit heater in your mouth when you
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: asked it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: You're exactly right.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I would show up at Broncos headquarters. With one of
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: those special long cigarettes.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Like a Virginia Slim.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Exactly. And I would just walk around with that sucker
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: in my mouth.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something right now.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: When 16-year-old Brett was wearing the blue vest working at Walgreens,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: those old ladies loved their Virginia Slims 100s. If you
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: were 70 years old and a lady walking into Walgreens,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: I knew exactly what you wanted.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I got you. Hey, exactly right. One of those. Or
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: just go like full dick about it and just have
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: a big stogie in your mouth. Do that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: No, that's good stuff, man.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: It's 100% pure stuff.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: If you guys missed it, we just talked to Adam Schefter.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: It's a big time to talk to Adam because we're 20, what? 20, 34,
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: 36 hours, something like that from the trade deadline. The
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Broncos are going to be in the market. They are
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: a good football team that is competing for a Super Bowl.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Those teams pick up the phone. They make calls to
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: improve their team. I have been under the assumption that
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: they're going to be looking for a running back this
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: whole time. Well, guess what Schefter said.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: The Broncos are going to be active in making phone
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: calls online. Do you think it's more likely that those
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: calls would result in a tight end or a running back?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Tight end right now. But I think it could be
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a safety too.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Tight end or a safety?
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Doesn't surprise me. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lineman.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: I would not be surprised if it's, again, they're working
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: from a position of, hey, we are leading the division.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: We have the Second best record in the conference. We're
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: winning close games, but we're winning. They take some shots here, right?
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: It's like, hey, it's like second and one. Take a shot.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: That's the position the Broncos are in.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Well, exactly right. I'm just, I think.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: The safety one is a little confusing to me because
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Hufanga was practicing. I would assume after a bye week,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: he's going to be good to go, which makes me think.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Is Brandon Jones' hamstring really bad?
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Dude, a hamstring's a month or more. You know hamstrings.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: But he's been out already a couple of games. So
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: that one was surprising. But I will say the tight
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: end one, you know what's interesting? They finally got Evan
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Ingram a little bit more involved in that game. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: think he had four catches. Against the Panthers yesterday?
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Let's see.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Confirm that real quick. He had four catches for 33 yards. Now,
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: nothing like mind-blowing about that. But is this another example?
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Did they think that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, Vic, I think.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: We'd all be over the moon if you got Trey
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: McBride in here, which they did call about.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds far-fetched.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Just make the call.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Look, man, the Cardinals are in a place where, yes,
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: they are a struggling team that is trying to.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Get back into competitive... competitive nature, but.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: You still need to have players on your roster. Even
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: when you're building, like you need to have guys you're building.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Around going back to the, the, you can't explain the
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Broncos season with science. In fact, you can't do it,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: but what a perfect time for a bi-week for this team. Oh,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: two more injuries yesterday, head injuries. It looked like concussion
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: protocol injuries for Waddle and Riley Moss. I mean, is
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: there a more perfect time for a bi-week for those two?
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Is there a more perfect time to allow another week
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: for Hafunga? I mean, it's really working out nicely.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Well, a texture says Sean Payton literally said to Trey
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: McBride that you're a joker. Sean Payton wants Trey McBride.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Well, guess what? There's a whole bunch of guys that
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: want to marry Margot Robbie. She's not on the market.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: Trying to find a goddamn joker.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you, there's nothing you could offer
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: that would take somebody away from that. And that's kind
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: of where the Cardinals, I would assume, are at with
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Trey McBride.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: The reason why tight end is not high on my list,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: it goes back to the The argument we've always, just
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: because you get a good one doesn't mean you'll properly
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: use a good one. I want to go back to
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: the running game and I'm not going to use this
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: argument as as a crit I'm going to criticize the
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Broncos offense again I'm not doing that I'm just asking
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: the question for the lack of running game is it
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: the running back or is it the running game in
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: other words is it the person carrying the ball or
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: the people blocking the ball Or is it bigger than that?
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Calling the plays for the ball. What, what, when you're
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: watching the game and you watched it closely yesterday, what
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: is it and how do you fix it? I, I,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: this is a cop out. It's probably both, but the
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Broncos offensive line is not so bad that they get
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: three yards to carry. And, I don't know if people
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: want to hear this because I'm a big Jonah Coleman guy, too.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: And I think Jonah was fine in that game.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: That's how I think he was fine. Made some plays
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: out of the backfield in the past game, too.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Here's the bottom line.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: You're you're resting your hopes of your rushing game right
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: now on a fourth round rookie.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: What does that tell you? I mean, that's not. It
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's it has to be bad.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: But I think if you're expecting this to be, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: one of the best rushing attacks.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: In the league, probably not going to happen.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Correct me if I'm wrong, and you're going to have
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: to go back and verify this because I'm too lazy
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: to do it. He had 17 carries yesterday.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: I think that's the most carries by a back all season.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I would assume that's the case, yes.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, so 17 carries, you're feeding the beast, right? Everybody
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: says you got to just keep feeding, you know, make
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: him a featured back. Dude, 17 for 57 is bad.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I know, I know.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: That's bad. That's just over three a carry.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: I don't think that there's these massive holes that have
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: opened up that he's not seeing. I don't think that's
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: the case, but I also think that you could get
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: more production out of 17 carries with a better back.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying is, too, well, we don't know yet
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: about Jonah Coleman. Well, we found out 17 times yesterday.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: But I'm going to go back to the same thing
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: I've been saying for a while now. I don't have
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: the patience when you're in a Super Bowl window right
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: now to see if he's going to be good enough.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I want somebody I know is good enough.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: That's what I want. I think it's malpractice if you
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: don't at least fortify that position.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: If we get here on the show tomorrow, or when
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: is it? I guess the show on Wednesday, and there
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: is no added guy in that running back backfield, I'm
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: going to be upset. I think it is a must. Now,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: it doesn't mean you can't go out and make phone
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: calls about other things. And, Vic, as we said before,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: it doesn't need to be Jonathan Taylor, but it's got
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: to be something. Like, you need to add another body,
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: trusted body.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I know they didn't light it up to the tune
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: of the old Eric Correale chargers, but I was actually...
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: pleased with the Broncos' offense yesterday because they threw the
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: ball down the field.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I think they were fine.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: Like, look, this offense is not ever going to be
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: one that puts up 450 yards. It's not going to
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: be Eric Correal. They are doing that. But what did
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: they do, Vic? They were 6 of 10 on third down.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: They moved the chains consistently. Multiple touchdown drives. Got touchdown
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: drives when you needed them.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I thought they were fine.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Brett, I think that's their best third down efficiency since when?
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Go back. Go back. It's definitely better than the last
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: three games. When's the last time the Broncos were 60%
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: on third down?
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Is that their best? The four games prior to that,
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: they were 9 of 48. That's what I'm saying.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Is this their best? Was that their best third down
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: game of the season? It may have been.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: They had one decent one earlier. Maybe it was against
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: the Rams. The Rams, they were 7 of 13. The Niners,
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: even that loss, they were 8 of 17, which isn't terrible,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: but yeah, that was their best of the year. Texture
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: does make a good point here as we're sort of
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: analyzing the box score aspect of this.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I'll look up the exact number, but.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: The fumble on that pitch that was recovered by Coleman.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: That was like... I don't know if that's applied to
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Coleman or if it's applied to Bowe. I don't know,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: because the ball wasn't secured. I don't know how you
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: rule that. Like, who loses yards?
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I don't think that's not lost yards on a rushing attempt, right?
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: That's just recovered fumble, I think.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know the rules there.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: But, again, I thought Coleman was fine. He was fine.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: But if you have a chance to get great in
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: the backfield, I don't know why you wouldn't want it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: 9-6-5-1.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I specifically watched the O-line play yesterday. I did not see...
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: the massive holes opening up like you stated. I think
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: it's the line and the scheme.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Just to be clear, I didn't say that they opened
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: up holes yesterday. Okay.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: So if it's the line and the scheme, and that's
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: where it starts, that's not an easy fix, man. That's
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: not a one trade. Let me tell you, that's the
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: worst situation. If you're telling me it's not a running back,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: it's a mixture of line and scheme, you ain't fixing
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: that midseason.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: That is exactly my thought towards it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Guys, good offensive linemen very, very rarely get traded midseason.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: The Seahawks ran into a perfect scenario where Indianapolis is
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: trading off whatever they have as assets and veterans, and
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: that's where Quentin Nelson came in the equation. But you
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: don't trade for really good offensive linemen very often in
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: the middle of a season. Secondly, as Vic pointed out,
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: that's really hard to fix.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: It's almost impossible. Because you don't just switch schemes midseason.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: The last and only time I ever recall them switching
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: schemes and it working was the Tebow year.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: The Tebow season, they started with one offense. They said, well,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: screw that. Tim's in. Let's start running the ball. And
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: not only did they run the ball well, that's the
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: one thing people don't remember about the Tebow offense. I mean,
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: they couldn't throw it with crap, right? But they ran
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: over people. Go back and look at the Broncos Raiders numbers.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Late in the season when they played the Raiders, I
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: think they ran for 260 on the Raiders.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. 260.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: They ran. And they changed their scheme.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: But when you talk about, Vic, like, what is the
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: easy fix? The easy fix is not going out and
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: finding a really good offensive lineman, changing up your scheme,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: getting those guys to gel and have chemistry together.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: That's hard. You know what's easy? What's easy is getting
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: a good back.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Well, getting that good back doesn't always fix the other problem.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: If it's indeed a scheme in line problem, getting a
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: good back may help the case a little. It's not
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: going to solve it.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: But to me, this would be like a few years ago.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: Well, the Avs have bigger problems than just getting a
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: better goaltender. It's all about, you know, the traffic that's
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: made in front of the goalie.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: It's about the.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Defensive effort and staying on your man, all that stuff.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: And I go, yeah, well, you know what? If you
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: got a better goalie, though, it would help.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: And when you're in the place of the Broncos don't
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: have to be really good on offense to be successful.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: They need to be okay.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: If you get marginal help out of the backfield, I
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: think it makes a world of difference for what they
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: need as an organization.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: But I honestly believe, though, it's ingrained in the way
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton designs and calls his offense. It's never been
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: a grind it out, let's run it right down. It's
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: just never been that, even when he was in New Orleans.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: It's done that.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: It's never been that.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: It's been that since he took over this year. They've ran.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know what the numbers have to be. I
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: think only Tampa Bay probably has a more run to
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: pass ratio.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: No, they've run it, but run it effectively is what
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: you're trying to get at. Yeah. 17 carries for 54
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: yards is not running it effectively.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: No, I'm with you.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: That's just running it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: That's what... But that... is where you're taking steps in
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: the passing game. Now we talked about it. I love that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: They came out of the game. They were throwing the
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: ball downfield.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: Like the first three throws were all deep resulting in
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: pass interferences. By the way, the first throw of the
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: game that was to Cortland Sutton, back shoulder on the sideline.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Did he catch that?
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe they didn't review it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Cause it looked like he had a toe in when
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: he got possession, knocked the heel down, made the catch.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But, um, We'll see. They have until
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: 2 o'clock tomorrow. And according to Adam Schefter, they are
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: in the market. He said more likely that they go
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: tight end in safety than they do running back. So
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: we'll get back to this in just a bit.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: 303-504-0925.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: The football weekend is not over until Monday night football
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: wraps up. You can catch tonight's game, a good one.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Josh Allen's Bills and that offense against that stingy Vikings defense.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: It's going to be on AM 950 with coverage at
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: 6 p.m.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: And kickoff at 615. It's all powered by Twin Peaks. Eats, drinks,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: scenic views.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: So a lot more to get to here as we
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: still got college football to discuss because I know you
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: were part of one of the better games of the weekend, Baker,
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: what turned into one of the better games of the weekend.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: And I do want to talk about Prime. Did we
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: witness the end? Is that it? Is there a point
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: of no return that we reached in Boulder over the weekend?
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I'm going to lean on you.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: I didn't watch that game, obviously. I was at another game.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: I didn't see what happened. I didn't see what transpired.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I got nothing for you. I just know the feedback
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: that I've gotten is not good.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: So we'll get to all that in just a couple minutes.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Stick around.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely nothing to do with all that. Bye.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Anime, Star Wars, Star Trek.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: The toilet suddenly shattered and collapsed beneath them. Wait, are
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you still driving that Honda? Oh, by the way, with
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Mosher Lombardi and Kane. Pay attention and stop looking at
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: that squirrel. Brought to you by Don's Garage Doors. For

• 30:12
  Speaker 5: around sports in the world we feel like you should
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: be aware of.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: So just a couple things real quick. Here's Deion postgame.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: The season don't look good. It don't look good.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not crazy, man.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: I'm not, I'm not, I can see.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I can see clearly.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: You think I'm happy?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not happy with outcomes.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not a loser by any means, and
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I hate the fact that we're coming up on the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: short end of these games tremendously.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: So this game against Arizona State, the score is 20-10.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: The score looked closer than what the game actually was.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: I think the disappointing part, Vic, is that that was after,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I think, a big win. Not that Kansas State's some
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: sort of tough opponent or anything like that, but it
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: got you back on the right track, gave you positive momentum.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: To follow that up with a clunker like CU had
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: over the weekend... is really disappointing. First four drives were
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: three and outs. They took a 24-yard sack on fourth down.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: They had.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: The most penalized team in the Big 12. It's a
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: big problem, and I think a lot of that stems
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: back to coaching being an issue. And I don't know
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: if they've hit the breaking point or not. If they haven't,
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: it's damn close. Because I haven't seen the amount of
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: CU fans, as I did after that game, calling for like, hey,
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: we're kind of done with this.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Well, you wanted a shot, at least a shot at
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: a bowl game this year. That was the goal, right?
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Just give me a shot at a bowl game.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Got to win out now.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that shot's gone.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Well, and Vic, it doesn't get any better on the
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: other side of town.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Their offense can score. Their defense is beyond bad. Beyond.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Do they line up a defense in Fort Collins?
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Vic, let me give you a number, and this is
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: truly mind-blowing because if you guys missed it, CSU went
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: out over the weekend.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: They played against No. 25 Boise State. They lost 600,
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: or sorry, 600.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Felt like it. 64 to 38.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: In that game, they gave up, total yards-wise, 669 yards
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: of offense.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, their offense put up 513.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: It's insane.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: But here's the stat that I found. There are 138
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: FBS teams in college football.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, Vic?
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: Where do you think the CSU Rams rank among 138
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: in total yards allowed per game?
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: 138.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: They're 138.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: And Vic, they give up, on average, 542 yards of
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: offense per game. That is 41 yards more than the
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: 137th ranked team in the country and 80 yards more
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: than the 136th ranked team in the country. As far
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: as points per game go, where do you think they
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: rank among 138 FBS teams?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: 138.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: They are 138.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: They give up 45 points per game, which is seven
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: points more, a full touchdown, an extra point than the
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: 137th ranked team in the country.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: You aren't last, Vic. You are last in your own
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: stratosphere defensively.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Yuck.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way. As I sat and stood, actually,
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: on the sideline of that game in South Bend Saturday night,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: and I looked across the sideline and I saw Michael Irvin,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: and I got a reminder text from Steve Nelson. Nelly,
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: what did you send me? What was the text again?
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: Well, on Friday, you had told me that I needed
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: to remind you that if Notre Dame did, in fact,
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: beat Miami, that you were going to do everything that
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: Michael Irvin does on the sideline, the sweating, the panting,
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: the yelling, the dog sounds, whipping a belt against the wall.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: There was one thing you were going to abstain from doing,
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: but you were going to film all of that, and
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: you wanted me to remind you because you might not
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: be in a state of mind to remember yourself.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: I could not bring myself to that level to remove
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: my belt and feign a belt to blank. I could not.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: As I thought about it, I just couldn't do that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: I'm like a grown man doing that. Couldn't do it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Couldn't do it. I just sat there, and I looked
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: at him, and I said, not doing that. I don't
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: know how a guy does that, but I can tell
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: you this. the amount of celebrities that were at that
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: game Saturday night in South Bay. So I'm on the sideline.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I'm just rapping with Shane Gillis. And I asked him,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: I go, why, why are you here?
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: He goes, dude, he's a huge Notre Dame guy.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: But he, he didn't have a show nearby. He just
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: came on his own. He didn't do anything for once.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: He coming on the show.
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Well, we wrapped for a while. I got, I'm going
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: to show you an interview I did with him. I'll
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: send it to you. I'll send it to you. So
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: I'm rapping with him just about Notre Dame football and
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: this and that. And, Turn around, there's Jon Bon Jovi.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Then to my left, there's Jason Sudeikis with his kid.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Ted Lasso's there.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Joe Montana was there.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Joe Montana was, he's obviously, Joe Theismann's always there. Right
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: down from them, I keep walking, there's Caitlin Clark. She's there.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: The amount of people that showed up for this game
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: on the Notre Dame sideline, mind you, and then I
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: look across and I'm waiting for Michael Irvin to take
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: off his belt. Michael, you never got that opportunity to
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: remove your belt, did you?
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Can I say one thing? You have to let me
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: finish my statement, okay? Let me finish.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: I do think that that not being called a touchdown
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: for Miami at the end of the game.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: It felt a lot like a touchdown to me. Number one.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Number two.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Number two, in the same way that I think Notre
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Dame got screwed out of a final play against BYU,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: Miami don't go down 24-3, and this isn't a problem.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Brett, you watch the game. I'm not going to debate
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: the touchdown and the call. You may not like the call, whatever.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Who was the better team.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: In that game?
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: You watch the game.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: No question, Notre Dame.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, so let's stop.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Let's stop.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: I'm with you.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: I'm defending you. I'm defending you.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. I know, because I'm going to hear this.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I'm going to hear blah, blah, blah. And let me
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: ask you another question, and I'm going to put my
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: hat on for this. I'm going to ask you this question, too.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: So put your leprechaun hat on.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Regarding the storming of the field, because I've been very
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: anti-storm in dumb moments, like when you beat an unranked
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: team that doesn't have a winning record.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Is it okay to storm a field when you beat
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: the number one ranked team in the country?
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's totally fine.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: I just want to know. And someone said, no, it's
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: not because you're seven point favorites. To which you have
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: to ask yourself this question. Ask yourself this. How is
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: it then the 11th ranked team, number 11, How is
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: the 11th ranked team in the country a touchdown favorite
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: over the number one ranked team? Does that tell you
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: that the rankings are flawed?
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Have you ever seen anything like, have you ever in
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: the history of football? I'm asking everyone listening to the
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: show right now. Give me another example where the 11th
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: ranked team was a touchdown favorite against the number one
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: ranked team.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Find it for me.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Send it to me. Show it to me. Let me
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: witness that. Because I've never seen it. And if there's
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: ever a better example of a flawed system, there it is.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: You guys would have been favored regardless. I wonder how
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: many points they thought Malachi Toney was worth. Because you
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: could tell that offense was not nearly as dynamic without him.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Let's just ignore the fact that Notre Dame is
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: missing five defensive starters. But don't worry about it.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Can I get to a couple more games?
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: Because I don't know. You're probably tailgating all day, Vic.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Maybe you didn't see it.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: I did stuff I never do, by the way. I
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: loved it. I was a fan.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: For the first time in forever, I was a fan. Like,
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: watching a game, I don't care what game it was,
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: watching a game from the stands with your pals, your
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: family members, you watch so much more differently and so
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: much more intently.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: It makes me hate the press box more. Yes.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: That's why I never go.
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: It's terrible.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: With all due respect to DMACC and Coach Sanford and
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: everybody I sit next to for those Bronco games, you
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: guys are terribly boring. Going to a game with your
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: pals and watching from the stands and just soaking it
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: in at a different emotional level. God, that's so much fun.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: That's all a charade.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: But I don't know how much you watched of the
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: other games because you were doing your own thing.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you this right now. I love Utah.
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: Utah is such a fun football team, and that game
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: that they had against BYU was great. Devin Dampier and
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: what Utah's been able to do, because think about this, Vic.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Kyle Whittingham... They're out in Ann Arbor with pitchforks and torches.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: Not only did they lose to Michigan State, who is terrible,
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: they looked awful, and he looked totally disinterested in the
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: rivalry part of it. Think about that guy was the
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: leader of Utah, was winning all these games.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: He leaves. Utah now has become this behemoth. They are
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: so fun to watch.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Bro, I love their offense because you never know what
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: you're going to get. Yeah. It's fun to watch. Could
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: you even, as a rational human being, Oh, by the way,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: and you were given a vote in the rankings. How
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: the hell? Who knows anything right now?
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Isn't it so wide open it's ridiculous?
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: Well, Ohio State lost again to Oregon. They're out of
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: the CFP now.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: But every time you say they're done.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: I think Jeremiah Smith saw his Heisman go up in
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: smoke in the middle of that game because he was
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: really upset too.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: But two things real quick.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: So this 10 minutes ago, Vic, from Heather Dinich, the
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: CFP and ESPN have agreed on a five-year $ 1. 7 billion
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: deal that expands the field to 24 teams next year.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: So college football playoff is going to be a 24-team
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: playoff next season.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: That's a done deal.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: And 24 teams is great, but all that's going to
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: happen is then the debate point is going to be
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: teams 20 through 30 now.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: You just move the debate point down the line, and
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: that's fine. That's an easier debate point. Here's the problem, though,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: and this is what I hate. That move eliminates the
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: conference championship games in the power four.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Because some have it and some don't. Some, you know,
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: conference championship games mean more in some leagues than it
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: does in others.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: I love conference championship game.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Really? How important is a conference championship game? When I
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: tell you this last year, Miami did not even play
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: in this conference championship game and ended up the national
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: runner up.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: I think that's ridiculous. I've always said that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: Okay. So what does it really mean? Nothing. So get
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: rid of it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: So that's one thing. Here's the other.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: In the NFL, Shador Sanders got the start in Cleveland.
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you saw how that game ended.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: So last second, one minute left in overtime. They score
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: a touchdown. They're down one. They go for two. They
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: don't quite get it.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Credit for them for going for two, by the way.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: They could have easily just taken the tie like everybody
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: else would have. Ah, screw that. Let's try to win

  Speaker 4: this thing.

  Speaker 4: would they do a spine transplant or something?
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: This is what I'm trying to figure out here. How
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: do you do that in eight weeks without help?
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: And I mean that Mosier peptide help or something like that.
