- 0:05Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports

- 0:11Speaker 1: Radio app.
- 0:18Speaker 2: All right, it's that time of the week. We'll be
- 0:20Speaker 2: joined by Jared Bednar shortly as the Avs play their
- 0:25Speaker 2: last game before the Olympic break tonight, they take on
- 0:29Speaker 2: the Sharks, so we'll talk to them about that as
- 0:32Speaker 2: well as I think this is the last time we'll
- 0:34Speaker 2: talk to him for a few weeks. I would assume, right,
- 0:37Speaker 2: that's ain't coming on during the break. Oh wait, why
- 0:39Speaker 2: would he? I ain't coming on?
- 0:42Speaker 3: That is true, You aren't even coming on the show. No, well, uh,
- 0:48Speaker 3: there's a few.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Things I want to ask him, by the way, because
- 0:50Speaker 2: once we get through this three weeks, we'll have like
- 0:52Speaker 2: what a two week ramp up to the deadline, right,
- 0:55Speaker 2: the trade deadline?
- 0:56Speaker 4: Yeah, it's about yeah, something like that, maybe a little
- 1:00Speaker 4: bit less than two weeks something like that.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll talk to him a little bit about
- 1:04Speaker 2: that as well. The Avs, obviously they're on a little
- 1:08Speaker 2: bit of a skid right now. It looks like they're
- 1:10Speaker 2: just trying to get to the break and then figure
- 1:13Speaker 2: things out.
- 1:14Speaker 3: And reset afterwards.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Because you look at the standings again, they're still in
- 1:18Speaker 2: good shape. They're five points up on Minnesota with three
- 1:21Speaker 2: games in hand. There's six points up on Dallas with
- 1:24Speaker 2: two games in hand. But as you've struggled most both
- 1:28Speaker 2: of those teams.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Have done nothing but win.
- 1:32Speaker 2: I mean, Dallas is on a five game win streak.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Minnesota's on a four game win streak. Some of the
- 1:36Speaker 2: rumors that I saw from guys like Pierre Lebron Elliott
- 1:39Speaker 2: Friedman that they're sniffing around trying to add Dallas is
- 1:43Speaker 2: some big time players to that lineup already.
- 1:46Speaker 4: I mean, good for them. I hope that they do.
- 1:50Speaker 4: My point is this is that what are they getting
- 1:53Speaker 4: the bread?
- 1:54Speaker 3: Well, it's a lock a good question.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Now let's go out and talk to the coach, head
- 1:58Speaker 2: coach the f Jared Bednar joined every Wednesday, Coach, how
- 2:00Speaker 2: you doing good?
- 2:02Speaker 3: Are you doing well?
- 2:03Speaker 5: So?
- 2:04Speaker 2: I know that this little stretch that you guys have
- 2:05Speaker 2: been on has been difficult. You've had guys out lost
- 2:08Speaker 2: some games at a higher clip obviously than earlier in
- 2:10Speaker 2: the year. How much of that is due to trying
- 2:13Speaker 2: to fill guys in with big, big guys being out
- 2:15Speaker 2: due to injury, and how much is that maybe looking
- 2:18Speaker 2: ahead for this Olympic break in the long stretch that
- 2:20Speaker 2: you're you're gonna have off of hockey soon.
- 2:23Speaker 6: I think it's a little bit of both, you know,
- 2:25Speaker 6: Like I think every guy that you lose out of
- 2:27Speaker 6: the lineup, you know, makes winning more difficult. I think
- 2:33Speaker 6: we have a lineup it's playing right now that's certainly
- 2:35Speaker 6: capable of winning every night. But there's been a little
- 2:39Speaker 6: drop off in our game. And it's not just one area.
- 2:43Speaker 6: It's kind of been bouncing around a little bit, or
- 2:46Speaker 6: on most nights it's pretty consistent. It's just like there's
- 2:50Speaker 6: a drop off in our offensive production on some nights,
- 2:55Speaker 6: the defensive games not there. You know, Goaltending wasn't quite
- 2:59Speaker 6: as good as it was before. Finishing on the other
- 3:01Speaker 6: end isn't quite as good as it was before. So
- 3:03Speaker 6: it's kind of just five to ten drop off in
- 3:09Speaker 6: our entire game, and that's leaving games up for grabs
- 3:13Speaker 6: and up the chance, you know, And so yeah, we're
- 3:17Speaker 6: off a little bit. Whether that's a break coming up personnel,
- 3:20Speaker 6: I think it's a culmination of all things right now,
- 3:23Speaker 6: because we're playing some we're playing some really good games
- 3:26Speaker 6: in there too, like the Detroit game, the Toronto game,
- 3:29Speaker 6: But we're having a tough time like sort of putting
- 3:32Speaker 6: the package together on a nightly basis eats a bunch
- 3:35Speaker 6: of real desperate teams.
- 3:36Speaker 4: In your experience, though, what's the what's the best way
- 3:38Speaker 4: to fight through that with a really good hockey club?
- 3:40Speaker 3: Because you are still number one in the National Hockey League?
- 3:43Speaker 7: How do you fight through that?
- 3:44Speaker 8: Is it is?
- 3:44Speaker 5: It?
- 3:45Speaker 7: Is it attention to detail?
- 3:46Speaker 4: Is it take a break? Is it clear your head?
- 3:49Speaker 4: How would you how would you go through that? Like?
- 3:51Speaker 6: Yeah, before Yeah, I think it's I think it's like
- 3:55Speaker 6: that's where we're talking like a little bit of the
- 3:56Speaker 6: dog days, like everyone knows his breaks come in there
- 4:00Speaker 6: going to know? Is the deadline will be soon after that?
- 4:03Speaker 6: It's yeah, I don't know. We get number one, We've
- 4:07Speaker 6: got to get these guys healthy. I think that's getting closer.
- 4:09Speaker 6: It looks like Landy and that Cash will be able
- 4:11Speaker 6: to go for the Olympics. Neither one's going to play
- 4:14Speaker 6: tonight for us. That's a big like with OC, Landy
- 4:18Speaker 6: and Neckish and I know we've been without OC, but
- 4:21Speaker 6: you're you're talking about an impactful, whole nother line that
- 4:26Speaker 6: help seeks sort of keep momentum games. So it's been
- 4:29Speaker 6: a little tough sledding creating scoring chances and finishing those
- 4:32Speaker 6: scoring chances because some of your finishers are out. It's
- 4:35Speaker 6: it's complete for me. Just focus mentality. This is mind
- 4:40Speaker 6: over matter type stuff. But just you know, that's easier
- 4:46Speaker 6: said than done trying to fix that at this point.
- 4:51Speaker 6: Just keep the guys focused on the right things, trying
- 4:53Speaker 6: to give them a solid game plan, motivate them as
- 4:56Speaker 6: much as we can to go out and have a
- 4:59Speaker 6: real good stuf to the game. Like the start is key.
- 5:02Speaker 6: I think like you get a lead, then you feel
- 5:05Speaker 6: good about it and things kind of start to snowball.
- 5:08Speaker 6: If you're playing from behind, it's becoming more difficult to
- 5:11Speaker 6: on some nights. The mustard the energy right. So it's
- 5:15Speaker 6: a little bit of a struggle. I don't think there's
- 5:17Speaker 6: one easy way to fix it. You just got to
- 5:19Speaker 6: try to reel the guys in here in dialom in
- 5:21Speaker 6: for one more game before the break.
- 5:23Speaker 2: You said that to Landiskog and Nature's are going to
- 5:26Speaker 2: be playing in the Olympics, is logan O'Connor going to
- 5:29Speaker 2: be ready after this break.
- 5:32Speaker 6: Too early to tell, but he has now been on
- 5:35Speaker 6: the ice, you know for the last five days. I
- 5:38Speaker 6: believe the gym work is ramping up again. You feel
- 5:43Speaker 6: solid in his plan for return to play, and then's
- 5:47Speaker 6: just a batter of like how quickly can he get
- 5:51Speaker 6: everything up to speed respond? But this break is certainly
- 5:55Speaker 6: if there's one guy in our team, that's going to
- 5:57Speaker 6: do him a lot of good. You know, there's some
- 5:59Speaker 6: positive in this break for us. It's getting healthy Logan
- 6:03Speaker 6: I think it's going to really is planning on staying
- 6:06Speaker 6: here and really using this time to try to get
- 6:10Speaker 6: going as close as he can to joining the team
- 6:12Speaker 6: coming out of the break. And then you know guys
- 6:16Speaker 6: like Landy Tasier that have missed significant time, they're gonna
- 6:22Speaker 6: like they're pages back in Landy's you know, got another
- 6:26Speaker 6: week before the Olympic Games start, which is going to
- 6:29Speaker 6: do him good. And getting those guys back and playing
- 6:32Speaker 6: some high level hockey. They should be full stride and
- 6:37Speaker 6: full go after the break. And then we're just hoping
- 6:39Speaker 6: to stay healthy through the Olympics with all the guys
- 6:41Speaker 6: we have going.
- 6:43Speaker 4: Let me, I'm got me ask you a question I
- 6:44Speaker 4: don't know the answer to. Have you ever owned a
- 6:47Speaker 4: muscle car? Like when you're growing up as a sketch,
- 6:49Speaker 4: what did you you ever have like a like a
- 6:51Speaker 4: sixty nine Charger or something like that.
- 6:54Speaker 6: My brother had a seventy two Chevelle. Oh, I have
- 6:59Speaker 6: a seventy two Chevy K five Blazer right now. I
- 7:03Speaker 6: bought a few years back. That was kind of my
- 7:05Speaker 6: dream truck and the one with the full top that
- 7:07Speaker 6: comes off. And I bought that at Barry Jackson told me,
- 7:11Speaker 6: I don't know, five years ago, that's sort of my
- 7:14Speaker 6: baby I like to drive around.
- 7:15Speaker 4: That's awesome. Well, here's another dumb motionalogy. Okay, let's take
- 7:20Speaker 4: your brother chevell seventy two Chevelle, and man, he wants
- 7:23Speaker 4: to get on the back roads of sask and he
- 7:25Speaker 4: wants to open it up right and then he runs
- 7:28Speaker 4: into a roadblock. Now and like the cops are like, listen,
- 7:32Speaker 4: we're looking for a lost dog. You know, you gotta
- 7:34Speaker 4: go and for your team and a team that loves
- 7:37Speaker 4: to skate and.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Go north and attack.
- 7:41Speaker 7: To have a.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Team stack up in the neutral zone and at their
- 7:44Speaker 4: blue line for sixty minutes and then flip the puck
- 7:48Speaker 4: back out to your blue line eight hundred and fifty
- 7:51Speaker 4: seven times. I was angry and just in the booth
- 7:54Speaker 4: looking at Johnny Lyles and Ryker, going, I can't do
- 7:57Speaker 4: this for a Ferrari that wants to go. How do
- 8:00Speaker 4: you not get frustrated?
- 8:02Speaker 3: It's a terrible analogy. I thought it was really good.
- 8:05Speaker 6: You have to like that is just discipline, mindset sort
- 8:11Speaker 6: of understand. That's part of like when we game plan
- 8:14Speaker 6: for a team. It's like you if you put pressure
- 8:17Speaker 6: on a team on an entry or on a four
- 8:19Speaker 6: check and they throw it back out in the nutrils
- 8:21Speaker 6: on back to you, and you like, to me, it's
- 8:24Speaker 6: a it's like who's going to break first? If you
- 8:26Speaker 6: can turn that puck around and get on another good
- 8:30Speaker 6: four check and they throw it out again and throw
- 8:32Speaker 6: to Eventually, like the third time or fourth time you
- 8:37Speaker 6: put it in, you may come up with it and
- 8:39Speaker 6: now you've got them fatigued a little bit and you
- 8:42Speaker 6: can play a zone play and hopefully get something going.
- 8:45Speaker 6: It's we've run into that in the playoffs that you
- 8:49Speaker 6: know Pete de Bores teams did that a lot. San
- 8:51Speaker 6: Jose Dallas and you you have to stay patient, and
- 8:55Speaker 6: you have to stay disciplined, and you have to continue
- 8:58Speaker 6: to make real good puckice decisions so you're not trying
- 9:02Speaker 6: to make something out of nothing, and then them attack
- 9:05Speaker 6: on a transition play and catch you with with the
- 9:09Speaker 6: wrong amount of numbers going the other way and catch
- 9:12Speaker 6: an odd bad rush and and hurt you right like
- 9:14Speaker 6: that's it. So it becomes a mind game more than
- 9:21Speaker 6: more than like you know, physical part of the game.
- 9:23Speaker 6: You have to be willing to kind of stay with
- 9:27Speaker 6: it and execute your game plan because eventually you're going
- 9:29Speaker 6: to come up with a putt that you play offensive
- 9:31Speaker 6: zone or create a rush opportunity. It's like who's going
- 9:35Speaker 6: to break first in those situations. So it can be
- 9:37Speaker 6: frustrating because you're not going to create as many chances
- 9:41Speaker 6: as you normally would in a game, But it's all
- 9:45Speaker 6: about just creating more than they get and capitalizing on
- 9:49Speaker 6: a few of them.
- 9:50Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I hate it. Number one. Number two.
- 9:52Speaker 4: I know, if you if you could, just if you could,
- 9:54Speaker 4: just like like you saw in Detroit, if you get
- 9:56Speaker 4: a lead and you force them out of that, then
- 9:59Speaker 4: that's where you're you know, your power, your speed, you're
- 10:03Speaker 4: attacking notion and take care of your own end and
- 10:06Speaker 4: then attack out of that. That's where that's where it
- 10:08Speaker 4: can really work for you, right, no.
- 10:11Speaker 6: Question, that's why the starts so important. That was not
- 10:13Speaker 6: the ideal. I mean that as it turns out, right,
- 10:16Speaker 6: like they score the first shift of the game, they
- 10:19Speaker 6: catch us on an OWD man rash. We kind of
- 10:21Speaker 6: like swoop in on it, sweep in on it, and
- 10:23Speaker 6: they punch it by us, and then we can't get
- 10:26Speaker 6: a tracker back as we run into the crowd, and
- 10:28Speaker 6: they capitalize first shift of the game. And now they're
- 10:31Speaker 6: playing with the lead. They can if it's a good
- 10:34Speaker 6: discipline team like Detroit is. Right now, they can stay
- 10:38Speaker 6: in that structure and you don't force them out that
- 10:40Speaker 6: structure the entire night. Now, we we created enough chances
- 10:44Speaker 6: to win that hockey game. Again, it's lower numbers than normals.
- 10:48Speaker 6: That they had lower numbers normal I thought we checked
- 10:50Speaker 6: real well in that game, Like we've made some mistakes.
- 10:53Speaker 6: Obviously they did as well, but we didn't capitalize on
- 10:56Speaker 6: a couple of our really good looks, and so we
- 10:58Speaker 6: don't get the check, don't even the game or go
- 11:02Speaker 6: ahead in the game, and then they're gonna The longer
- 11:05Speaker 6: the game goes on, the more they're going to dig
- 11:07Speaker 6: into that structure of just throwing it out into the
- 11:09Speaker 6: neutrizone and throwing it in, and it's up to us
- 11:11Speaker 6: to sort of break them out of that and square
- 11:15Speaker 6: up the game. And so they have to open it
- 11:18Speaker 6: up a little bit if they want to win.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Head coach the F J.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Benner with this as he is every Wednesday, eight o'clock.
- 11:23Speaker 2: It's all brought to you by mister Ruter Plumbing, proudly
- 11:25Speaker 2: rooting for Colorado's hockey team. You know, you brought up
- 11:27Speaker 2: the word discipline, and I know you've been asked a
- 11:29Speaker 2: million times about the power play how to improve that.
- 11:31Speaker 2: But another byproduct to this, you guys lead the league
- 11:35Speaker 2: in shorthanded goals allowed. Is that a discipline thing or
- 11:37Speaker 2: is that bad luck? What do you attribute that to?
- 11:40Speaker 6: Well, it's definitely not bad luck. It's it's it's a
- 11:44Speaker 6: discipline things. It's the power play, you know, trying to
- 11:50Speaker 6: create something out of nothing. A lot of them are
- 11:52Speaker 6: coming at the end of the power play when they're
- 11:55Speaker 6: tired and they're pressing to try to get something because
- 11:57Speaker 6: they want to get rewarded for their work and then
- 12:00Speaker 6: and it's like, so it's kind of turned on. It's
- 12:02Speaker 6: going the other way too many times here recently, you know,
- 12:06Speaker 6: I think we thought that stretch early in the year.
- 12:08Speaker 6: Then we kind of dug our way out of that,
- 12:11Speaker 6: except some of those habits of pressing laid in power
- 12:14Speaker 6: plays to try and make something happen, and not staying
- 12:17Speaker 6: disciplined in getting above pocks. If there's fifty to fifty
- 12:21Speaker 6: pucks to be one, the word just hanging around below
- 12:25Speaker 6: it's sort of cheating for offense and they're going the
- 12:27Speaker 6: other way. So it's that to me, is that the
- 12:31Speaker 6: mentality and a habit that you have to break that
- 12:35Speaker 6: we've kind of addressed a couple times over the season.
- 12:38Speaker 3: A lot of people do ask me about the power
- 12:39Speaker 3: play coach.
- 12:40Speaker 7: I don't.
- 12:40Speaker 4: I don't know what to say, because on any given
- 12:42Speaker 4: night it's something different. It could be shot volume, it
- 12:44Speaker 4: could be you know, only play is great, it could
- 12:48Speaker 4: be you can't even enter the zone. It doesn't seem
- 12:50Speaker 4: to be any one thing on any given night.
- 12:53Speaker 7: And I don't.
- 12:54Speaker 3: I don't know how to talk to people about that
- 12:56Speaker 3: or explain it to people.
- 12:57Speaker 7: How would you?
- 12:59Speaker 6: Yeah, it's difficult. Because you're wrong there. The thing is
- 13:06Speaker 6: that I'm trying to get our guys to focus on
- 13:08Speaker 6: now is like you can't carry the baggage of you know,
- 13:12Speaker 6: the fifty some games we've played now into the next game.
- 13:16Speaker 6: Like we you know, set up the game plan trying
- 13:20Speaker 6: to get everyone on the same page. It changes, you know,
- 13:24Speaker 6: a little bit, depending on what kill we're facing. This
- 13:27Speaker 6: few different ways that teams like to try and kill
- 13:30Speaker 6: against us, and then there's always going to be something
- 13:33Speaker 6: available there. It's there. There's a work portion of that
- 13:37Speaker 6: that has to be on that that's been inconsistent. There's
- 13:42Speaker 6: an attack mentality that has to be on, and then
- 13:46Speaker 6: a little bit more like puck management, execution and everyone
- 13:51Speaker 6: sort of working in tandem with one another. That is
- 13:54Speaker 6: a key to it. And so if you look at say,
- 13:59Speaker 6: like the Detroit game, we have two power plays in it.
- 14:03Speaker 6: The power play was lethal, we just didn't put it
- 14:05Speaker 6: in the back of the net. We are definitely not
- 14:07Speaker 6: scoring easy on our chances on the power play, like
- 14:10Speaker 6: we are five on five. But I don't see any
- 14:12Speaker 6: way but to just sort of get them on the
- 14:15Speaker 6: same page, make sure they know what they're supposed to do,
- 14:18Speaker 6: and then try to execute through it. But if you're
- 14:22Speaker 6: taking fifty games of baggage and that sort of frustration
- 14:26Speaker 6: of mentality into every game, then you're not going to
- 14:29Speaker 6: have success. Right. I look at the Detroit game and
- 14:31Speaker 6: I go, okay, repeat it, repeat it tomorrow night, and
- 14:35Speaker 6: you guys will score. Yeah, you have six seven scoring
- 14:39Speaker 6: tens and two power plays. It's a good clip. You're
- 14:42Speaker 6: looking for those quality chances. Someone needs to put one
- 14:45Speaker 6: in the back of the net and get the snowball
- 14:47Speaker 6: rolling downhill a little bit. And it's been frustrating because
- 14:50Speaker 6: they're not getting rewarded for some of the good work
- 14:53Speaker 6: they do. And then on the other side of it,
- 14:55Speaker 6: like you said, we're already giving up chances pressing. So
- 14:59Speaker 6: it's it's become a little bit of a monster of
- 15:02Speaker 6: its own that we have to break the cycle on.
- 15:04Speaker 6: And when we do, I believe that it can start
- 15:06Speaker 6: to find some traction.
- 15:07Speaker 2: A couple more For you, coach, I always appreciate your time.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Tried to get this to you last week and then
- 15:11Speaker 2: got super loud. He had to go to a meeting.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Just curious the trade deadline. I know it's weeks away,
- 15:16Speaker 2: but after this break it'll be coming up pretty quick.
- 15:19Speaker 2: You guys have been very aggressive in the past making moves,
- 15:22Speaker 2: trading for goalies and centers and everything else. How comfortable
- 15:25Speaker 2: are you with this year's roster compared to the last
- 15:28Speaker 2: two three years?
- 15:30Speaker 6: Oh, definitely more comfortable. We've had so many ads at
- 15:33Speaker 6: the end of the season the last two years because
- 15:37Speaker 6: we've started thin for cap reasons and knowing know if
- 15:41Speaker 6: we need something and the team and the top guys
- 15:44Speaker 6: and the sort of our core is performing that we
- 15:47Speaker 6: go and try to add it. We're a much deeper
- 15:50Speaker 6: team when we're healthy than we've been in the past
- 15:53Speaker 6: two years. So I feel a lot better about the group.
- 15:57Speaker 6: Like we have the goaltending set, We've got a great cores,
- 16:00Speaker 6: We've got four lines that can play, you know, when
- 16:04Speaker 6: we get them all back healthy. And I think we're
- 16:07Speaker 6: a better team going into the deadline this year for
- 16:11Speaker 6: sure than we've been over the last few years.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Last thing for you, coach, and always appreciate it.
- 16:17Speaker 2: I know with the Olympics coming up, you're gonna have
- 16:19Speaker 2: a chance to sit down and watch your players and TV,
- 16:21Speaker 2: which you don't get to do very often. How much
- 16:23Speaker 2: of that is going to be excitement watching them play
- 16:25Speaker 2: for their home countries and how much are you gonna
- 16:26Speaker 2: be holding your breath every time they get close to
- 16:28Speaker 2: taking a hit.
- 16:31Speaker 6: It'll be more excitement. And the games of the game,
- 16:34Speaker 6: I think they're all going to go play hard. The
- 16:36Speaker 6: harder you play and the harder you compete, I'd say
- 16:39Speaker 6: in these it's going to be physical for sure, But
- 16:43Speaker 6: it's it's every game is so important that there's not
- 16:48Speaker 6: as much I don't know, it's just it'll be a
- 16:52Speaker 6: clean style game because you're playing Olympic rules too, So
- 16:56Speaker 6: it's like, I'm just excited for those guys their opportunity
- 17:01Speaker 6: go represent their countries and and go chase gold, you know.
- 17:06Speaker 6: So it'll it'll definitely be more excitement. But I'm certainly
- 17:09Speaker 6: going to be hoping that they all come back, you know, healthy.
- 17:12Speaker 6: They won't be as arrested as some of the other guys.
- 17:15Speaker 6: But every team's kind of in that same boat. We
- 17:17Speaker 6: got a lot of guys going and we'll manage that after.
- 17:20Speaker 6: But I'm excited for these guys and the opportunity to
- 17:24Speaker 6: go over there, and I'm excited to watch them play
- 17:26Speaker 6: as well.
- 17:27Speaker 4: You know, I know you've dressed for a theme before

- 20:15Speaker 8: so I did a quick walk and talk with TD
- 20:17Speaker 8: and I asked him specifically about the Broncos run game.
- 20:20Speaker 8: Nelly is getting that fed from Jesse, and you're gonna
- 20:25Speaker 8: want to hear what he had to say about how
- 20:27Speaker 8: to fix the Broncos run.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Get a number thirty in the backfield, that'll be easier.
- 20:31Speaker 8: Yeah, he looks like he still do it.
- 20:33Speaker 6: Dude.
- 20:33Speaker 8: Terrell Davis is always better shape now than he was.
- 20:36Speaker 8: I think when he played crazy.
- 20:38Speaker 4: If you have a thirty Hall of Famer in the backfield.
- 20:42Speaker 4: But I can't even express to you what an awesome
- 20:46Speaker 4: player he was and what a great.
- 20:47Speaker 7: Luxury was in the second half.
- 20:49Speaker 4: I remember, it's it's man, you got a Vick, you
- 20:52Speaker 4: got a fourteen point lead, and you know what he's
- 20:54Speaker 4: doing late in the third quarter.
- 20:55Speaker 7: He is punishing fools.
- 20:58Speaker 4: He's picking up six extra after ramming two guys in
- 21:01Speaker 4: the head and continuing on.
- 21:03Speaker 3: It's what anner I know.
- 21:06Speaker 2: I want to hear your your conversation with Garrett Bulls Vick, who,
- 21:09Speaker 2: by the way, he was named Walter Payton Man of
- 21:10Speaker 2: the Year that.
- 21:13Speaker 3: It was the Community.
- 21:14Speaker 8: Service Page community a different award. Okay, just start naming guys.
- 21:22Speaker 3: In there whenever he won something cool for being the.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Tom anyway, congrats, dam I I want to hear this
- 21:31Speaker 2: conversation and what his answer was for the run game.
- 21:34Speaker 3: In just a second, I have a war arguing about
- 21:38Speaker 3: a football but most you's right, what's the easiest way
- 21:43Speaker 3: to fix it? I don't know. Get a Hall of
- 21:45Speaker 3: Famer back there, that'll help me.
- 21:48Speaker 7: Hey, why is the why is the Colts run game
- 21:50Speaker 7: so good?
- 21:51Speaker 6: Well?
- 21:51Speaker 7: You got Jonathan Taylor?
- 21:52Speaker 2: Hey, hey, name a single offensive lineman Barry Sanders had
- 21:56Speaker 2: You can't.
- 21:56Speaker 3: You can't. Barry Sanders was great?
- 21:58Speaker 4: Hey those when the Eagles, you got yourself a saquon
- 22:02Speaker 4: and his legs are as big as Vicks trunk.
- 22:06Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's like, come on, man.
- 22:09Speaker 2: So Nellie, while you're you're finding the TD interview, you
- 22:13Speaker 2: have what the bulls?
- 22:14Speaker 8: What did Jared Bednar say? By the way, unfortunately I
- 22:17Speaker 8: wasn't here for that.
- 22:18Speaker 7: Look it up.
- 22:20Speaker 8: Just give me an abbreviated version. Where's where's his mindset?
- 22:23Speaker 6: Right now?
- 22:23Speaker 3: You've got social media, you've got well.
- 22:25Speaker 2: I asked him how much of the struggles recently are
- 22:28Speaker 2: due to injuries and due to you guys looking ahead?
- 22:30Speaker 2: And he so, he said, it's probably a combination of both.
- 22:33Speaker 2: You know, you feel that that break's coming and it's natural.
- 22:36Speaker 2: It's a dog days of the season sort of thing.
- 22:38Speaker 4: And vic you know, one thing he does not do.
- 22:40Speaker 4: He doesn't excuse anything away.
- 22:42Speaker 3: He'll give you.
- 22:43Speaker 4: He'll give you examples of why things are broken here
- 22:47Speaker 4: at times, or why they're there and lack of discipline
- 22:50Speaker 4: or it's too much pressing and you know. But he
- 22:54Speaker 4: doesn't shy away from what goes wrong with his team.
- 22:57Speaker 4: Here's where I struggle at times.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Oh here's a big one though, Vic, just just quick memories.
- 23:00Speaker 2: You're gonna say he said that Landy and Nat just
- 23:02Speaker 2: look like they're gonna play in the Olympics. It's too
- 23:05Speaker 2: early to say on Logan O'Connor, but he is trending
- 23:08Speaker 2: the right way towards maybe coming back after the break.
- 23:10Speaker 8: Very good. See, I just wanted an abbreviate version. I'm
- 23:13Speaker 8: not sure I need all of Moser's thoughts on that.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Ohead, your thoughts. What people are texting in. They they
- 23:25Speaker 4: want heads for some reason, they want heads to roll.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Why didn't you ask why Kale can't hit the net? Okay,
- 23:31Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask the coach, well the why the best
- 23:33Speaker 4: defenseman in.
- 23:34Speaker 7: The planets ain't hitting the net? Right now?
- 23:37Speaker 4: I mean, listen to yourself and and I'm not I'm
- 23:40Speaker 4: not I'm not trying to. I understand people are passionate
- 23:43Speaker 4: about their team. I understand that they they want Cale
- 23:47Speaker 4: to hit the net. I understand they want McKinnon to
- 23:49Speaker 4: to dangle guys, you know, one hundred and eighty feet
- 23:52Speaker 4: and go top shelf. I get I get that, Okay,
- 23:56Speaker 4: But the game is hard. It's an eighty two game season.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Dude.
- 23:59Speaker 4: Does anybody realize, you know, the Dallas Stars how many
- 24:01Speaker 4: how many points back of the Abs right now, Brett six?
- 24:04Speaker 4: Six points back of the ass the Dallas Stars are?
- 24:07Speaker 4: You know, they went through a stretch where they lost
- 24:09Speaker 4: twelve of fifteen games. They lost six in a row,
- 24:14Speaker 4: won a game, lost four in a row, won a game,
- 24:17Speaker 4: lost two in a row. I mean, they lost twelve
- 24:19Speaker 4: of fifteen and that was reason. Now they've won how
- 24:22Speaker 4: many row have they won?
- 24:23Speaker 6: Four?
- 24:23Speaker 3: I think they're at five, four or five?
- 24:24Speaker 4: Okay, they've won four or five in a row. Now, yeah,
- 24:26Speaker 4: they won five in a row. But before that they
- 24:28Speaker 4: lost twelve of fifteen. But is anybody in Dallas going,
- 24:31Speaker 4: oh my god, you know, ask these knuckleheads why they
- 24:34Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's the way it goes. The Abs,
- 24:37Speaker 4: by the way, as we sit here right now are
- 24:40Speaker 4: still the number one scoring team in the entire National
- 24:42Speaker 4: Hockey League. Their goal differential is still by far the
- 24:46Speaker 4: best in the league. Nathan McKinnon still leads the league
- 24:50Speaker 4: in goals. They have by far the best home record
- 24:54Speaker 4: in the I mean, it's there's still so much that's positive.
- 24:58Speaker 4: A But this is why I shut up, because I
- 25:01Speaker 4: knew you were going to say.
- 25:02Speaker 8: Something I just wanted.
- 25:03Speaker 4: I don't want to people want their pound of flesh
- 25:06Speaker 4: because the team is in a rut, and I'm like, man,
- 25:09Speaker 4: teams go through ruts. It's still the best team in
- 25:11Speaker 4: the league.
- 25:11Speaker 3: I saw this the other day.
- 25:13Speaker 2: It's like you guys talk to Bednar every week and
- 25:14Speaker 2: just toss some softballs and I'm like, okay. So when
- 25:17Speaker 2: I asked the question of shorthanded goals, you lead the
- 25:20Speaker 2: league in those.
- 25:21Speaker 3: What is what attributes to that?
- 25:23Speaker 2: He said, Do you want me to say something like
- 25:25Speaker 2: the Bears radio station where it's like your connection is
- 25:28Speaker 2: as bad as your power play right now, or something
- 25:30Speaker 2: like that.
- 25:31Speaker 7: I don't I don't want.
- 25:32Speaker 3: To ask it.
- 25:32Speaker 4: But his reaction was this br It's like, is this
- 25:35Speaker 4: this is the bad Like he goes.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Well, it's not bad luck.
- 25:38Speaker 2: He did say that. Yeah, like I said, he's a
- 25:40Speaker 2: discipline or bad luck he is it ain't He.
- 25:42Speaker 4: Was like, hees it ain't bad luck. I can promise
- 25:44Speaker 4: you that he knows that they're blowing it.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Now.
- 25:48Speaker 2: I do want to hear this Garrett Balls interview. So
- 25:50Speaker 2: Nelly that that you got a cue up?
- 25:51Speaker 5: Go ahead?
- 25:52Speaker 3: Oh, go ahead, Victor.
- 25:53Speaker 8: Yeah, you just set it up. So Garrett was in
- 25:56Speaker 8: a suit yesterday here at the media center with this family,
- 26:00Speaker 8: and he had a bunch of people with him and
- 26:03Speaker 8: We're like, why is he running around in his suit?
- 26:05Speaker 8: I did not know that he is the recipient of
- 26:08Speaker 8: the nflpa's Alan Page Community Service Award. He started a
- 26:13Speaker 8: foundation and the foundation funds research and therapy work for
- 26:20Speaker 8: people kids, primarily with a proxia, which is a disease
- 26:24Speaker 8: his son has and it's a disability that forces you
- 26:30Speaker 8: to learn how to speak out your words. His son
- 26:32Speaker 8: has issues with speaking out his words. So he sees
- 26:36Speaker 8: a speech pathologist and he's got a clinic that he funds,
- 26:40Speaker 8: and he's gone out of his way to fund this
- 26:42Speaker 8: for a bunch of kids in Denver and really poured
- 26:45Speaker 8: out his heart and soul into this. So this is
- 26:47Speaker 8: why he's here. We talked about his turnaround from a
- 26:51Speaker 8: guy who his rookie season was you know, flagged off
- 26:54Speaker 8: and people said, what is this, what's going on to
- 26:56Speaker 8: what he is today? And he's a pro bowler today,
- 26:59Speaker 8: he's a man end of the year today. He is
- 27:01Speaker 8: truly a role model. That is Garrett Bowles.
- 27:05Speaker 5: Can you believe how far you've come? Cursonally since you
- 27:07Speaker 5: mentioned this, Look at where you are today.
- 27:09Speaker 9: You're winning National Awards, You're winning the NFL Awards. You
- 27:13Speaker 9: surprise yourself at all. I'm always surprised, but I never
- 27:17Speaker 9: doubt on myself. You know, I want to create a legacy.
- 27:21Speaker 9: That's the most important thing to me is I'm having
- 27:24Speaker 9: a legacy that my family and my kids can look.
- 27:26Speaker 10: Back and know that dad did what dad did. And
- 27:29Speaker 10: there's nothing better than creating a legacy and having your
- 27:33Speaker 10: son right next to you the whole time.
- 27:35Speaker 5: And that's who we are.
- 27:36Speaker 10: You know, we love God, we love people, and we
- 27:39Speaker 10: want people to have a voice on a platform. We
- 27:41Speaker 10: want people to express themselves and to be able to
- 27:45Speaker 10: share their stories and deliver their dream like me and
- 27:47Speaker 10: my wife are doing, and to be that voice in
- 27:50Speaker 10: that platform for now, only the Broncos organization, but for
- 27:52Speaker 10: the NFL PA at the NFL and to be able
- 27:55Speaker 10: to to do the things that I'm doing, that's truly
- 27:57Speaker 10: a blessing and I'm being ungrateful to be recognized.
- 28:00Speaker 5: I know you're here with friends for the Pro Bowl,
- 28:01Speaker 5: but does the hurd AFC Championship? Do you still feel it?
- 28:04Speaker 5: You still think about it?
- 28:05Speaker 10: I mean, obviously I'm frustrated, and you know, I've had
- 28:08Speaker 10: some time to reflect on that game. But at the
- 28:10Speaker 10: end of the day, I know where our team's going.
- 28:13Speaker 10: I know what we're going to do to change some
- 28:15Speaker 10: things to get back to where we belong. We were
- 28:17Speaker 10: three points away, so still stings, still frustrating, But at
- 28:21Speaker 10: the same time, I'm focusing on what'sn't born, and that's
- 28:24Speaker 10: this week and what we're doing here, not all along
- 28:27Speaker 10: with my foundation, but with my fellow nominees and my
- 28:30Speaker 10: other my fellow Pro Bowlers that are here with me,
- 28:33Speaker 10: to be able to celebrate the accomplishments that we've done
- 28:37Speaker 10: this season.
- 28:37Speaker 9: Last point, Garrett, I know your offensive line is one
- 28:40Speaker 9: of the best in the league.
- 28:42Speaker 5: How do we get the run? Da ho Doly make
- 28:45Speaker 5: something that you don't lean.
- 28:47Speaker 10: I mean, obviously, our run game was dominant this year
- 28:51Speaker 10: at points. I mean obviously, you know, with JK going
- 28:54Speaker 10: down was frustrating, but we saw JK, you know, his
- 28:58Speaker 10: his spirit and we love him dearly. But we saw
- 29:00Speaker 10: Harvey doing the things that we needed to do to
- 29:03Speaker 10: get things going. We were right there. Man, when we
- 29:05Speaker 10: lost by three points, I had nothing to do with
- 29:07Speaker 10: our run game. It just had things. We had some injuries,
- 29:09Speaker 10: we lost our quarterback Sid he stepped in what he
- 29:12Speaker 10: needed to do, and you know, the ball just didn't
- 29:14Speaker 10: bounce our way. We gotta we got to figure out
- 29:17Speaker 10: how to sustain drives better, make sure that we're you know,
- 29:21Speaker 10: pushing the ball downfield on third down and doing the
- 29:24Speaker 10: little things. And we focus on the little things, which
- 29:27Speaker 10: as we've done for the last three years, we're going
- 29:29Speaker 10: to continue to be in the playoffs and continue to
- 29:31Speaker 10: make runs.
- 29:32Speaker 5: Would you be comfortable with Davis web call plays?
- 29:35Speaker 10: Hey, listen, if he's gonna call plays or SP's gonna
- 29:38Speaker 10: call plays. We have the same people around our building,
- 29:41Speaker 10: the same coaching staff. I'm just looking forward to seeing
- 29:44Speaker 10: what happens and the amazing things that we're going to
- 29:46Speaker 10: do this this come up here.
- 29:47Speaker 5: Congratulations crowd, Thank you, thank you very much, appreciate it.
- 29:51Speaker 2: That is Vick with Garrett Bulls yesterday. I don't know
- 29:55Speaker 2: if I totally buy it that the running game was
- 29:59Speaker 2: not a problem.
- 30:01Speaker 3: I don't know if I buy that, but.
- 30:04Speaker 2: I understand, like if you're one of those players, it
- 30:08Speaker 2: would be really hard Vic for I mean you to
- 30:12Speaker 2: look at it the way that maybe we do or
- 30:14Speaker 2: the fan base does. They were right there and they
- 30:18Speaker 2: a lot of them are saying the same things that
- 30:22Speaker 2: I almost think they shouldn't say this out loud, Like
- 30:25Speaker 2: Cortland Sutton said this yesterday. This is from Gorilla Sports.
- 30:28Speaker 11: You'll draw yourself crazy sitting there thinking about the what ifs,
- 30:32Speaker 11: and so I eventually got over to what IFFs, but
- 30:34Speaker 11: I haven't got over the situation. I tell my boy,
- 30:37Speaker 11: I said, maybe after the game, I'll get over it.
- 30:38Speaker 11: One super Bowl ends, I'll get over it. But best
- 30:41Speaker 11: of luck to both of those teams who're out there
- 30:43Speaker 11: performing doing that thing. You know, everyone knows the Broncos
- 30:46Speaker 11: should have been in there, but it's uh so.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Cortland said that I heard PS two saying, I've heard
- 30:50Speaker 2: Garrett bull say it. I don't I just shoot on
- 30:53Speaker 2: the other foot, if Drake May got hurt after the
- 30:55Speaker 2: Divisional round and the Broncos beat them ten to seven,
- 30:57Speaker 2: they're in the super Bowl.
- 30:58Speaker 3: And I heard Patriots people saying that.
- 31:00Speaker 8: Like, oh, shut up, yeah, I know, but you're not
- 31:03Speaker 8: Patriots people. We're talking on behalf of the Broncos. You
- 31:07Speaker 8: had it laid out on a platter for you, and
- 31:08Speaker 8: then the worst case scenario unfolded. Your quarterback got hurt
- 31:12Speaker 8: in a mindless play late in the game, and then
- 31:14Speaker 8: it snowed at the worst possible time. I mean, think
- 31:17Speaker 8: about the misfortune. Think about the years from now when
- 31:20Speaker 8: we look back at the twenty twenty five AFC title game,
- 31:23Speaker 8: the misfortune that hit the Broncos in the worst possible time.
- 31:28Speaker 8: It's it's awful. Now. When I asked Garrett Boules there
- 31:33Speaker 8: about how to fix the run game, did you guys
- 31:35Speaker 8: catch it there? His immediate response was, well, we had
- 31:38Speaker 8: a great run game, you know JK. And then he
- 31:40Speaker 8: caught himself said, you know what RJ was doing, But
- 31:43Speaker 8: it's the running back. According to him, it's the running back.
- 31:48Speaker 8: It starts with the running back. And he's not the
- 31:50Speaker 8: only person who feels that way. Terrell Davis. You're gonna
- 31:54Speaker 8: hear from Terrell Davis soon. He said the same thing.
- 31:57Speaker 8: You know, I always assumed and this is me watching
- 32:01Speaker 8: it starts up front. You got to open up the holes.
- 32:03Speaker 8: Terrell Davis says, no, starts at the running back. You
- 32:06Speaker 8: heard Garrett Bowles immediate response, We had a dominant run game,
- 32:10Speaker 8: and then JK went.
- 32:11Speaker 2: Down that I don't know if it was dominant, but
- 32:15Speaker 2: it was good. It was a good run game with JK,
- 32:17Speaker 2: this would have been saying the whole time. And by
- 32:19Speaker 2: the way, Garrett Bull said this immediately the day after
- 32:22Speaker 2: they lost the AFC Championship game. He did the answer
- 32:25Speaker 2: and at the very end he said, we just need
- 32:26Speaker 2: a couple more playmakers in here. Like I I it's
- 32:30Speaker 2: funny when I bring this up, I go, the easiest
- 32:33Speaker 2: way you can fix things is by getting better players,
- 32:36Speaker 2: like when you brought this up, and I totally understand
- 32:38Speaker 2: where you're coming from. A few days ago, Vick, well,
- 32:40Speaker 2: Mike Shanahan was able to do it with Tatum Bell
- 32:43Speaker 2: and Orlanda's Gary and everybody else that was not considered
- 32:46Speaker 2: all pro level talents. Well, he's an all world level coach.
- 32:50Speaker 2: That's in in schemer like.
- 32:53Speaker 4: The walls, but the way the way they blocked, the
- 32:55Speaker 4: way those old Broncos teams blocked the cut blocking when
- 33:00Speaker 4: was allowed.
- 33:01Speaker 3: They were superb at it.
- 33:05Speaker 7: So listen.
- 33:05Speaker 4: Mike Anderson was a good back with Orlandis. Gary was
- 33:08Speaker 4: a good back, Tatum Bell was a good back, Clinton
- 33:10Speaker 4: Portis was a good They're all good backs and there
- 33:13Speaker 4: and the scheme allowed them to be better backs. Perhaps
- 33:16Speaker 4: they would have been someplace else. Terrell Davis was by
- 33:21Speaker 4: far a huge stud that he's one of the best
- 33:26Speaker 4: backs I've ever seen.
- 33:27Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate it. I appreciate the hell out of TV.
- 33:31Speaker 8: When you listen to player interviews, especially players that still
- 33:34Speaker 8: feel the pain of a loss, and players that understand
- 33:38Speaker 8: that teammates then they don't want to offend teammates. You
- 33:41Speaker 8: have to parse through the noise. You have to sort
- 33:43Speaker 8: of whittle it down to what they really mean. They're
- 33:46Speaker 8: not going to offend each other. He's not going to
- 33:48Speaker 8: throw RJ. Harvey under the bus. He's not gonna do that.
- 33:50Speaker 8: He's not gonna throw his plate caller under the bus.
- 33:53Speaker 8: But you have to listen to how he presents his
- 33:55Speaker 8: answer and to me listening to Garrett Bowles again answering
- 33:59Speaker 8: that question. It's the running back, It's the running back. Yeah, Nelly,
- 34:04Speaker 8: do you have Terrell Davis available? We just did a
- 34:07Speaker 8: little walk and talk with TD I do. And why
- 34:10Speaker 8: don't we get to that next? Oh, because we're at
- 34:12Speaker 8: the top of the hour. Look at Nelly run the
- 34:14Speaker 8: show the way that Powder should be running the show.
- 34:17Speaker 8: Nelly is now operating the show on his watch. He
- 34:21Speaker 8: is the captain.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Now, you just kept bumping your gums, you know what
- 34:25Speaker 2: I mean. So we'll get to that in just a second.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Terrell Davis and little walk and talk with Vic. Next,
- 34:31Speaker 2: it's a double dip to nine on Altitude Sports Radio,
- 34:34Speaker 2: Nuggets and Knicks pre game at four thirty on ninety
- 34:38Speaker 2: two five. When that wraps up, we'll join the Avalanche
- 34:40Speaker 2: game in progress on ninety two five. But Wal to
- 34:42Speaker 2: Wall Avs coverage and full pre game is on AM
- 34:45Speaker 2: nine to fifty starting at six thirty, and all pregame
- 34:48Speaker 2: coverage is powered by Ramos Law.
- 34:50Speaker 4: Now, Vick's getting a lot of great interviews. I love
- 34:52Speaker 4: the Garrett Bowles thought that was great. I like Pat
- 34:54Speaker 4: from Wichita yesterday. I thought he was great. All the
- 34:57Speaker 4: stuff hell the hell of get there, Nick Benito, and
- 35:00Speaker 4: I asked certain yesterday. This is all all good stuff. Hey,
- 35:03Speaker 4: Pat's a good struggle, good guy.
- 35:05Speaker 8: Butler is next level though, And for those who missed
- 35:09Speaker 8: it in the first hour, we'll have it in the
- 35:11Speaker 8: last hour as well.
- 35:12Speaker 4: But but I can imagine vic. Hey, I caught up
- 35:16Speaker 4: with Kerrie Strugg the other day. She's here promoting like a.
- 35:19Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? You know what?
- 35:22Speaker 2: That is the lamest attempt. Moser's is gonna leave. He's
- 35:25Speaker 2: going to Spain for like two weeks. Mosure just saw
- 35:30Speaker 2: and we'll get through all Davis in a second. That
- 35:32Speaker 2: is the most blatant shoehorn of a topic I've ever
- 35:35Speaker 2: seen in my life. You went around, he just saw
- 35:39Speaker 2: Greeney on ESPN and talk about the gutsiest performances in
- 35:42Speaker 2: sports history. And Carrie Strugg was on there and most
- 35:45Speaker 2: just had to say her name to talk about it.
- 35:47Speaker 3: That's all that was. Oh good God. By the way,
- 35:52Speaker 3: we'll get to TV in a second.
- 35:53Speaker 7: Freak.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Can somebody explain this one to me?
- 35:55Speaker 2: Lindsey Vaughan was just airlifted from a ski lift because
- 35:58Speaker 2: she fell into a ratio, and then she's going to continue.
- 36:02Speaker 3: To participate in the Olympics. She said this, I'm not.
- 36:04Speaker 12: Letting this slip through my fingers. I'm I'm going to
- 36:09Speaker 12: do it and this story so I'm not letting myself
- 36:12Speaker 12: go down that path.
- 36:13Speaker 6: I'm not crying.
- 36:14Speaker 12: I'm my head is high, I'm standing tall, and I'm
- 36:19Speaker 12: going to do my best and.
- 36:20Speaker 10: Whatever the result is, that's what it is.
- 36:21Speaker 12: But you can never say I didn't try.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Somebody explained this to me as somebody who's never skied before.
- 36:27Speaker 2: It feels like there's a lot of stress on your knees.
- 36:30Speaker 2: How do you do that?
- 36:31Speaker 4: Well, it can't be well, I don't know. Listen, I
- 36:35Speaker 4: read the article. She's already over in Courtina, Italy.
- 36:38Speaker 7: Right.
- 36:39Speaker 4: I read the article where last week she had a
- 36:42Speaker 4: crutch that she had to crutch around you know it.
- 36:46Speaker 4: And now she's doing box jumps, working out in the pool,
- 36:50Speaker 4: skiing high speed with a weighted vest. So it's obviously
- 36:54Speaker 4: not a torn acl Well, I mean.
- 36:57Speaker 8: They say it's a ruptured aco.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Well, here's where texture Aaron says. My mother is an
- 37:02Speaker 2: orthopedic surgeon here in Colorado. She said this about the
- 37:05Speaker 2: Lindsay vonn injury. It's likely her ACL was already torn.
- 37:08Speaker 2: She had no swelling, and she is only a week out.
- 37:11Speaker 2: A brand new, fully torn ACL generally has a ton
- 37:14Speaker 2: of swelling early on. They say Elway towards ACL likely
- 37:17Speaker 2: in high school, played his whole career without one. So
- 37:19Speaker 2: she's saying like, because there's no swelling, she can get
- 37:22Speaker 2: through it. I still think that sounds ridiculous.
- 37:26Speaker 8: I I you know, listen, I don't know medically how
- 37:28Speaker 8: this affects her. I know that everybody's different. Every ACL
- 37:32Speaker 8: is different. I know that Elway played without one his
- 37:34Speaker 8: entire career, different circumstances that happened early in his life.
- 37:38Speaker 8: He adapted to it, right, he adapted. This is an
- 37:41Speaker 8: adaptation of a torn ACL a month later. That's crazy.
- 37:44Speaker 8: I don't know how you do it. And you're going
- 37:45Speaker 8: downhill a week later. Yeah, I don't know how you
- 37:48Speaker 8: do it. I don't know how it happens. Is she
- 37:50Speaker 8: tougher than most? Maybe she is tougher than every.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Dingy, Hey mosh, how about you put her in the
- 37:54Speaker 2: Kerry strug category of she's milking it.
- 37:56Speaker 3: It must not be that bad. How about that?
- 37:58Speaker 2: You want to do that to Lindsay von huh.
- 38:02Speaker 7: No, man, I just can't wait to get the Sunday
- 38:04Speaker 7: at nine am. You know what that is?
- 38:07Speaker 5: What's that?
- 38:07Speaker 4: Actually it's Wednesday, next Wednesday at nine am. What the
- 38:11Speaker 4: men's doubles loose fund?
- 38:13Speaker 7: Okay, got it? Can't wait. It's gonna be awesome.
- 38:16Speaker 2: VIC talked to Terrell Davis and Vic, anything you want
- 38:19Speaker 2: to set up before this?
- 38:19Speaker 8: Yeah? I mean this. This helps try to answer the question.
- 38:22Speaker 8: You know, I asked him a little bit about the
- 38:24Speaker 8: AFC Championship game, and then we got into the run game.
- 38:26Speaker 8: And there's no better authority to talk about a run
- 38:28Speaker 8: game than the greatest running back in Broncos history, Hall
- 38:31Speaker 8: of Famer Terrell Davis, who was walking around here doing
- 38:33Speaker 8: his interviews. And it's the age old question, chicken or egg?
- 38:38Speaker 8: Is it the running back or is it the offensive line?
- 38:41Speaker 8: What makes the running game?
- 38:43Speaker 7: Go?
- 38:44Speaker 8: Listen to TD.
- 38:44Speaker 5: I gotta ask you what was going through your mind
- 38:46Speaker 5: when we watched the second happened from that AFC Championship
- 38:50Speaker 5: be man, it's hard.
- 38:51Speaker 13: It was hard at watching Offensively, we couldn't get anything
- 38:55Speaker 13: done and obviously.
- 38:57Speaker 5: You know, the weather wasn't ideal, but it may.
- 39:00Speaker 13: It's like you have a team that you know, you're
- 39:02Speaker 13: not scoring courts, you're not moving the ball, you're not
- 39:03Speaker 13: really being effective. That's it hard for me to watch,
- 39:06Speaker 13: right And you know, I know we we put a
- 39:09Speaker 13: lot of sock and stint of coming in and being
- 39:11Speaker 13: a backup quarterback, and but it wasn't realistic for him
- 39:15Speaker 13: to come in there and have to do a lot
- 39:16Speaker 13: mone He hasn't played in two years on those conditions.
- 39:19Speaker 13: So you know, fencipally we played, you played well. Kind
- 39:23Speaker 13: of get a run game going TV. Does that start
- 39:25Speaker 13: up front or is that starting in the backfield? Where's
- 39:27Speaker 13: that started it start? I think it starts with the back.
- 39:30Speaker 13: It starts with the backs. The backs. You know, I've
- 39:32Speaker 13: always felt like this, man, the harder I ran, the
- 39:34Speaker 13: better they blocked.
- 39:36Speaker 5: The better day blocked the harder I ran.
- 39:37Speaker 13: So there's it's it's a relationship that the back and
- 39:41Speaker 13: the officer of line starts to generate this this this
- 39:45Speaker 13: you know, kind of all right, I understand what's happening.
- 39:48Speaker 13: We're gonna block more. I understand how you run, so
- 39:50Speaker 13: I'm a block according to that. It's just in this
- 39:54Speaker 13: stage of football, all the rotating backs coming in, I
- 39:56Speaker 13: just don't know how you can get a back and groove.
- 39:59Speaker 13: You know, it's just difficult to established run game when
- 40:03Speaker 13: you got four people rotating into a game.
- 40:05Speaker 8: Right, and then let's.
- 40:07Speaker 13: Say, if I know I'm getting let's say die touches
- 40:10Speaker 13: in the game, I want to pass up a two
- 40:12Speaker 13: yard run trying to hit the six yard front because
- 40:15Speaker 13: I got to make the most of that running. So
- 40:17Speaker 13: you don't have the you don't have the luxury of
- 40:18Speaker 13: setting things up and playing chess. You know, everybody else
- 40:22Speaker 13: is you. You know, now you got to play check
- 40:23Speaker 13: if I want to play chess, right, That's that's kind
- 40:26Speaker 13: of how I use the analogy of backs.
- 40:29Speaker 5: Nowadays, you've gotten too thin. I feel like I can
- 40:31Speaker 5: tackle you right now in the open field.
- 40:33Speaker 13: Yeah, well I have I have no It's all good man.
- 40:37Speaker 13: I'm getting known. My joints are beat up. I got
- 40:38Speaker 13: to lose to the great. Yeah, appreciate it, thanks, buddy,
- 40:40Speaker 13: say it.
- 40:42Speaker 8: I really do believe I could drop him right now
- 40:44Speaker 8: if we're doing the Oklahoma dro He's lost so much weight.
- 40:47Speaker 3: I really believe.
- 40:48Speaker 2: I want to see it, and I want to see
- 40:49Speaker 2: your teeth get knocked out.
- 40:51Speaker 8: I'm dead, honest. I think I can bring him down.
- 40:53Speaker 3: I'd like to drop you.
- 40:56Speaker 8: But there's the answer.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Uh.
- 40:57Speaker 8: He's not a fan of the rotating back thing. He's
- 40:59Speaker 8: not a fan of a guy going in for one
- 41:01Speaker 8: series being replaced the next. He's not a fan. He
- 41:03Speaker 8: thinks it's it's harder on a run game to get going.
- 41:05Speaker 8: It's it's harder on a running back to get his feeling.
- 41:08Speaker 8: He's probably lying.
- 41:10Speaker 4: He's probably not wrong about that, Vick. I mean, if
- 41:12Speaker 4: you're imagine the offensive line of the Broncos in the
- 41:14Speaker 4: late nineties, and you're you, you're your Bell cow is TD,
- 41:19Speaker 4: and you know how he runs, you know where he
- 41:21Speaker 4: wants to run, you know his favorite gaps and so
- 41:24Speaker 4: on and so forth, and you know his game, and
- 41:27Speaker 4: so they work together as such an awesome unit. I'll
- 41:30Speaker 4: give you an example, even before Dobbins got hurt, I
- 41:36Speaker 4: mean they were. Harvey got his fair share, did he not, Brett?
- 41:40Speaker 8: Sure he did.
- 41:40Speaker 4: Okay, let me give an example of the Indianapolis Colts.
- 41:44Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor got three hundred and twenty three carries this
- 41:48Speaker 4: year for fifteen and eighty five yards. DJ Giddens before
- 41:53Speaker 4: he got hurt Week ten, twenty six carries.
- 41:57Speaker 3: Yeah, Amir Abdullah he's still around. Yeah, fourteen carries.
- 42:04Speaker 4: I mean you got if you've got a bell cow,
- 42:08Speaker 4: it was them, That's what That's what the Colts do
- 42:10Speaker 4: because they've got one of those guys.
- 42:12Speaker 7: They just don't grow on trees anymore.
- 42:13Speaker 2: Well, Sean Payton's always done this, even when he's had
- 42:15Speaker 2: really good backs, like mark Ingram split time, Alvin Kamara
- 42:18Speaker 2: split time.
- 42:19Speaker 8: Like he's a system.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's the system, but it's also like it's
- 42:24Speaker 2: just how talented are your guys back there?
- 42:26Speaker 3: And maybe R. J.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Harvey wasn't ready, which breeds another sort of concern in
- 42:31Speaker 2: and of itself. Running backs don't need years to get it.
- 42:34Speaker 2: They kind of get in the league and either they
- 42:36Speaker 2: go or they don't, you know what I mean. Now
- 42:38Speaker 2: the other stuff like maybe past protection on third down
- 42:41Speaker 2: that might be a learned skill, but can you find
- 42:43Speaker 2: a hole and hit it?
- 42:45Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 42:47Speaker 8: Okay, So let's just wear the jury here and we're
- 42:50Speaker 8: hearing all these different witnesses come to the stand. You
- 42:53Speaker 8: heard Bulls what he had to say. You heard Terrell Davis,
- 42:56Speaker 8: We've heard certain We've heard from a different different folks.
- 43:00Speaker 8: I mean, what is our judgment what's the problem with
- 43:02Speaker 8: the Broncos, right gate a better back. Okay, that's our
- 43:06Speaker 8: conclusion where we're coming together as a jury. Now we're
- 43:08Speaker 8: voting on this. Do we have a verdict?
- 43:11Speaker 6: Well?
- 43:11Speaker 4: I find it hard to believe that a Broncos offensive
- 43:14Speaker 4: line comprised of those players and the kind of investment
- 43:18Speaker 4: they've put into that offensive line from one side to
- 43:22Speaker 4: the other. They've spent a lot of money on those
- 43:24Speaker 4: big uglies in the trenches. Like I find it hard
- 43:26Speaker 4: to believe that they're very good at pass blocking, but
- 43:29Speaker 4: run blocking they just can't seem to do.
- 43:31Speaker 7: Crap.
- 43:31Speaker 4: I find that hard to believe that you're investing that
- 43:34Speaker 4: kind of money in your tackles and your guards and
- 43:36Speaker 4: your center and you don't think they can run block.
- 43:39Speaker 3: If RJ. Harvey's in Indianapolis, does you run for fifteen
- 43:41Speaker 3: hundred yards?
- 43:43Speaker 7: Well, no, tailor no, because Taylor's is final.
- 43:46Speaker 3: If Jonathan Taylor's here, do you have a good run game?
- 43:48Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 43:49Speaker 3: If you switch around r J.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Harvey and Jamier Gibbs, Yeah, does Jamier Gibbs have a
- 43:53Speaker 2: you have a good run game?
- 43:54Speaker 6: Now?
- 43:54Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 43:55Speaker 3: B Jon Robinson, Yeah that's your ants yea.
- 43:58Speaker 7: But yeah, how do you get me a B seon.
- 44:01Speaker 3: No, it's difficult. You're gonna have to trade up this year.
- 44:03Speaker 8: If you're gonna go do it, Hey, don't use your
- 44:06Speaker 8: first Trump pick on a dB that you don't use
- 44:08Speaker 8: too often. Maybe I don't know, I don't I don't
- 44:10Speaker 8: have the answer.
- 44:11Speaker 7: Well, again, I don't know what.
- 44:13Speaker 3: Maybe they didn't see.
- 44:13Speaker 8: A running back that made that kind of a difference though.
- 44:15Speaker 4: I don't know what Ashton genty is going to become.
- 44:17Speaker 4: I don't know what Amrio, Amari and Hampton is going
- 44:20Speaker 4: to become. Eventually, he got injured this year too and
- 44:22Speaker 4: then came back. I don't know what they'll become.
- 44:24Speaker 7: I have no idea. I guess Tom, you know it's
- 44:26Speaker 7: a good point.
- 44:26Speaker 8: Ashton genty' is a hell of a running back.
- 44:28Speaker 4: He didn't do much, No, I mean, he he ran
- 44:32Speaker 4: for nine to seventy five and today's dan ain't that?
- 44:34Speaker 7: Ain't that?
- 44:35Speaker 8: Ain't he didn't do anything?
- 44:36Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 44:36Speaker 8: That doesn't that sort of crater your argument there?
- 44:39Speaker 2: Well, it depends, like maybe Ashton Gent's nasaca as we thought.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Trent Richardson was the second overall pick in his draft
- 44:45Speaker 2: and he was out of the league three years.
- 44:47Speaker 7: Later he was a stud.
- 44:52Speaker 8: He was pretty special.
- 44:53Speaker 7: Yeah, Trent Richardson, though he is a big man.
- 44:56Speaker 2: There's a combo. You have to have a decent offensive
- 44:59Speaker 2: line too. Do you think the the offensive line is
- 45:00Speaker 2: at least decent? Yeah, or at least decent.
- 45:04Speaker 8: Well, it's again, it's rated is one of the top
- 45:08Speaker 8: offensive lines in football, exactly right, different ratings for run
- 45:11Speaker 8: game in pass game.
- 45:12Speaker 4: Okay, but do you think Sean Payton and George Peyton
- 45:15Speaker 4: are going to invest millions and millions and millions and
- 45:18Speaker 4: millions of dollars in that offensive line if they.
- 45:22Speaker 8: Don't think that they can run? Come on, man, I
- 45:24Speaker 8: don't make many guarantees. I don't make many guarantees. I
- 45:28Speaker 8: guarantee you that the Denver Broncos, either via free agency,
- 45:32Speaker 8: they're gonna have some money now to spend. They've got
- 45:34Speaker 8: that Russell Wilson money. Either via free agency or the draft,
- 45:38Speaker 8: they will invest in a running back. Okay, and it's
- 45:41Speaker 8: not just JK. Dobbins. He could come back, he sure could.
- 45:44Speaker 7: He could.

- 45:47Speaker 8: another running back to the mix.
- 45:48Speaker 2: I just think we get confused on like was the
- 45:50Speaker 2: running game good or not it was good like JK.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Dobbins was on pace before he got hurt for a
- 45:57Speaker 2: twelve hundred yard season that would have put him top
- 46:00Speaker 2: top nine in the league. The names surrounding Hi would
- 46:04Speaker 2: have been McCaffrey, Gibbs, Tyrone Williams, like that's a good
- 46:08Speaker 2: running game, but he got hurt and he seemed to
- 46:11Speaker 2: be your only decent back uh three oh three, five
- 46:13Speaker 2: oh four oh nine two five get back the Nuggets
- 46:15Speaker 2: their loss from last night along with the double Dipperoox
- 46:18Speaker 2: next
- 46:19Speaker 5: Double dipple Deroo
