- 0:00Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane On Demand. Listen live
- 0:05Speaker 1: every weekday morning from 7 to 10 on Altitude Sports
- 0:08Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
- 0:18Speaker 2: It's a Rally House Football Monday. Rally House shop every
- 0:21Speaker 2: team in town. So Sean Payton's presser has gotten moved
- 0:24Speaker 2: to about 9.45 this morning.
- 0:26Speaker 3: We'll get a few minutes of that towards the end
- 0:28Speaker 3: of the show. In the meantime... Broncos win yesterday.
- 0:31Speaker 2: They take control of the AFC West in what was,
- 0:35Speaker 2: I would say, a crazy win, but I think a
- 0:37Speaker 2: standard Broncos win is what it is. The difference is
- 0:42Speaker 2: to do it against that team. The numbers of Patrick
- 0:44Speaker 2: Mahomes going into the fourth quarter with a double-digit lead
- 0:47Speaker 2: in what his record is is unbelievable. Secondly, to give
- 0:51Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes the football with a minute 56 left in
- 0:54Speaker 2: multiple timeouts. down four, is usually a death sentence. And
- 0:58Speaker 2: you overcame both of those things to get a win.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Why?
- 1:01Speaker 2: Because it's what you do. Because you just find it.
- 1:04Speaker 2: And especially at home, you just find a way to
- 1:06Speaker 2: make these things happen. Sean Payton talked about 15 consecutive
- 1:12Speaker 2: one-score wins, which is an NFL record. It ties what
- 1:16Speaker 2: the Colts did from 08 to 09. It's just unheard of,
- 1:20Speaker 2: the way that you go about winning these football games,
- 1:22Speaker 2: but you always do. somehow late in the game you
- 1:25Speaker 2: will find a way to make a play. And sometimes
- 1:27Speaker 2: that's Bo Nix making a throw, and other times, guys,
- 1:30Speaker 2: it's J.L.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Skinner making a goal line stand.
- 1:35Speaker 5: Can we please, Nelly, play back the oath, if you
- 1:39Speaker 5: have it in your possession, that we took in the
- 1:42Speaker 5: first segment. For those who may have missed it, we
- 1:45Speaker 5: have all taken part in a pledge that I believe
- 1:47Speaker 5: Bronco fans and Broncos country, everyone should take part in
- 1:51Speaker 5: this if you're driving around. Thank you, Nelly. If you're
- 1:52Speaker 5: driving around town, We recorded this in the first hour,
- 1:57Speaker 5: and we have all agreed that this is what every
- 1:59Speaker 5: Bronco fan should attest to. So go ahead, play what
- 2:03Speaker 5: we did. I'm not going to do it again live,
- 2:06Speaker 5: but those of you who are not part of this,
- 2:07Speaker 5: who's standing behind you, Nelly? Who is that right behind
- 2:10Speaker 5: you right now?
- 2:10Speaker 4: That is Chris Mitchell.
- 2:11Speaker 5: Chris Mitchell, follow the oath, and I want you to
- 2:14Speaker 5: follow it closely. Listen and react. I want you guys
- 2:18Speaker 5: to raise your right hands, all of you. Let's go
- 2:21Speaker 5: raise your right hand. Nelly, raise your right hand. Get
- 2:23Speaker 5: your pimp hand up there.
- 2:24Speaker 6: Raise your right hand.
- 2:27Speaker 5: And repeat after me.
- 2:28Speaker 6: After me. I, name. I, name. Solemnly swear.
- 2:35Speaker 5: Solemnly swear. Never to cast dispersions again.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Never to cast dispersions again.
- 2:42Speaker 5: About the poor play of the Broncos offense.
- 2:45Speaker 4: About the poor play of the Broncos offense.
- 2:48Speaker 5: During a game when it looks like all hope is lost.
- 2:52Speaker 4: During a game when it looks like all hope is lost.
- 2:55Speaker 5: No matter what I feel about the offensive inadequacies.
- 2:59Speaker 6: No matter what I feel about it.
- 3:05Speaker 5: But I will forever.
- 3:06Speaker 6: But I will forever. But I will forever. Believe. Believe.
- 3:10Speaker 5: That at the end of the day.
- 3:11Speaker 6: That at the end of the day.
- 3:13Speaker 5: The Broncos will get that dub. The Broncos will get
- 3:16Speaker 5: that dub.
- 3:16Speaker 6: Amen.
- 3:17Speaker 7: Amen.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Okay.
- 3:20Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 3:21Speaker 5: That's all we need. So if you've done that, if
- 3:23Speaker 5: you've taken the oath, we're good. That is the new oath.
- 3:27Speaker 6: Vic, I honestly, in the middle of that, I didn't
- 3:29Speaker 6: know what you said, so I just kind of said,
- 3:34Speaker 6: I kind of faked it. I'm just letting you know. Mo,
- 3:35Speaker 6: just be honest.
- 3:36Speaker 5: When, you know, those long prayers at church, sometimes you
- 3:38Speaker 5: don't quite know how the words go. You just sort of.
- 3:41Speaker 7: Yeah. Songs.
- 3:44Speaker 6: But always, you know, listen, I've, having been born and
- 3:48Speaker 6: raised Catholic.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Yeah, see, we got it.
- 3:53Speaker 6: Yeah, that song.
- 3:54Speaker 3: That's how we do it. Having been born and.
- 4:02Speaker 6: Raised Catholic. And catechism and all that kind of thing,
- 4:15Speaker 6: having been in church a billion times. It's remarkable how
- 4:18Speaker 6: much you forget if you just don't go back regularly.
- 4:21Speaker 6: And so then when I do attend a Catholic ceremony
- 4:24Speaker 6: of some kind, I'm like, damn it. I had all
- 4:28Speaker 6: this down pat back in the day, and now I'm like, oh, yeah.
- 4:32Speaker 5: Yeah. Not as sharp as I used to be.
- 4:35Speaker 6: Do me a favor.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Grade Bo Nix.
- 4:37Speaker 6: Yesterday.
- 4:38Speaker 3: What's his grade?
- 4:39Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 4:40Speaker 5: Grade him anymore. I don't know what grades to. You
- 4:44Speaker 5: know what he's become? He's become a pass fail grader. Yeah.
- 4:48Speaker 5: You ever have pass fail classes? I was always jealous.
- 4:51Speaker 5: I never once had a pass fail.
- 4:52Speaker 6: I wish. I never had a pass fail.
- 4:54Speaker 5: It's never in my life if I had a pass
- 4:55Speaker 5: fail class.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Isn't PE like pass fail?
- 4:58Speaker 6: Dude, our PE was competitive. Do you get a C
- 5:01Speaker 6: in PE? No, no, no, no.
- 5:03Speaker 5: I don't know what kind of PE you took, but
- 5:05Speaker 5: our PE, you had to win.
- 5:07Speaker 6: It was winning the ball. Dude, as an elective in college,
- 5:10Speaker 6: I took golf.
- 5:12Speaker 2: God, what schools did you guys go to?
- 5:15Speaker 6: What the hell?
- 5:16Speaker 2: No, it's very important for business meetings. You have to
- 5:18Speaker 2: learn how to play golf. You have to get the
- 5:20Speaker 2: stroke down. I got an A in it. It was great,
- 5:22Speaker 2: but I thought this should just be pass-fail. Either you
- 5:24Speaker 2: can hit the golf ball or you can't.
- 5:25Speaker 6: It's not like. Hey, can you go tight? You know
- 5:27Speaker 6: what I mean? Knocking it tight and all that kind
- 5:29Speaker 6: of thing.
- 5:30Speaker 3: See, but here's the deal.
- 5:32Speaker 6: Vic, you're right.
- 5:33Speaker 3: He's an impossible person to grade.
- 5:35Speaker 5: You can't grade him. It's fast fail.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Sometimes it's cool, and sometimes... Again, guys, go back in
- 5:40Speaker 2: the first half of that game, okay? The first half, offensively,
- 5:45Speaker 2: was okay.
- 5:47Speaker 3: I mean, you get.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Field goal drive out of the gates, then you go
- 5:51Speaker 2: three and out, but then it's a nine-play drive for
- 5:53Speaker 2: another field goal, and then it's five plays for a punt,
- 5:56Speaker 2: and then it's a touchdown drive, and then it's the
- 5:57Speaker 2: end of the half. That's something that's reasonable offense. That
- 6:01Speaker 2: is a reasonable NFL competent offense. And then the second half,
- 6:07Speaker 2: when you need to put some things together, because you're
- 6:08Speaker 2: down four, you go three and out, three and out,
- 6:11Speaker 2: three and out, and then it's.
- 6:12Speaker 6: The fourth quarter. And you're down 11. And you know
- 6:13Speaker 6: what I mean?
- 6:14Speaker 2: Like, It's just, it's really hard where I've always said
- 6:22Speaker 2: like Bo Nix and the Broncos overall. So I had
- 6:25Speaker 2: a guy when I was playing college baseball that was
- 6:27Speaker 2: like this. Moshe, he couldn't field the routine grounder. Routine ball,
- 6:33Speaker 2: two hopper to him, throw the guy out.
- 6:35Speaker 6: He's booting it.
- 6:36Speaker 2: But if he had to lay out up the middle,
- 6:38Speaker 2: roll over, throw it from his butt, like he would
- 6:40Speaker 2: make the most amazing plays you've ever seen. That's what
- 6:43Speaker 2: the Broncos are to me. They almost like, They are
- 6:49Speaker 2: adrenaline junkies where it's like, I'm going to jump out
- 6:52Speaker 2: of the plane with no shoot and just kind of,
- 6:54Speaker 2: you know, figure it out.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Figure it out on the way down. And they always
- 6:57Speaker 3: seem to stay alive.
- 6:58Speaker 5: These are not equals, but it's a comp. Like when
- 7:00Speaker 5: I watch Jamal Murray shoot the basketball, I always say
- 7:03Speaker 5: to people, when Jamal Murray is being guarded and he
- 7:06Speaker 5: has to take a shot late in the shot clock
- 7:08Speaker 5: over a dude's head from a bad angle, it's going in.
- 7:12Speaker 5: It's going in.
- 7:12Speaker 3: A great bad shot maker.
- 7:14Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 7:14Speaker 5: He is one of the best bad shot makers I've
- 7:17Speaker 5: ever seen. And maybe that's Bo.
- 7:20Speaker 6: He's... How do you describe that? I don't know. Vic,
- 7:26Speaker 6: I don't know how you describe it because it's... It's not,
- 7:30Speaker 6: I guess, unprecedented, but it's just... It's very odd and
- 7:35Speaker 6: very unique. And I just don't know what to do
- 7:37Speaker 6: with what I'm seeing. In fact... I would like somebody
- 7:41Speaker 6: today to ask Sean Payton. We're not allowed to do
- 7:43Speaker 6: it because we're going to be live on the air,
- 7:44Speaker 6: but we'll tune in. I want somebody to ask him
- 7:47Speaker 6: if he can pinpoint the way Bo was playing the
- 7:50Speaker 6: game in these fourth quarter situations, compare him or, you know,
- 7:54Speaker 6: does it remind you of anybody in NFL years gone by?
- 7:57Speaker 6: Because I just don't know that I can really find
- 8:00Speaker 6: that person. I can say Elway, but Elway was the
- 8:03Speaker 6: elite of the elite. He was good early and, you know,
- 8:05Speaker 6: there were times when he just buried you in the
- 8:07Speaker 6: first half, but I don't know, Vic. It's just bizarre
- 8:09Speaker 6: to me. It's almost unprecedented, if not unprecedented.
- 8:14Speaker 2: So what Bo Nix does, and I want to bring
- 8:17Speaker 2: up a couple of these numbers again, because I got
- 8:20Speaker 2: after Bo that week that they played against Seattle, and
- 8:24Speaker 2: everybody was talking about average depth of target. It's, hey,
- 8:27Speaker 2: you are farther away from your TV screen watching the
- 8:31Speaker 2: game than what his average throw was in that Seahawks game.
- 8:35Speaker 2: He was embarrassing to the quarterback position, according to Ryan Fitzpatrick.
- 8:39Speaker 2: And so we've gotten all these numbers. Here's one that
- 8:43Speaker 2: perfectly describes Bo Nix, too. That since 1991, no quarterback,
- 8:50Speaker 2: when trailing by one to eight points, one possession in
- 8:52Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, has a better passer rating than Bo
- 8:56Speaker 2: Nix since 1991.
- 8:57Speaker 3: And that includes all the greats.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Your Bradys, your Mannings, your Breezes, your Rogers, your Mahomes,
- 9:02Speaker 2: your everybody. He has the best quarterback rating, which is 119.
- 9:08Speaker 2: And I think in even smaller doses, what were the
- 9:11Speaker 2: Broncos on third downs yesterday?
- 9:13Speaker 3: 2 of 11.
- 9:14Speaker 5: 12 or 2 for 11?
- 9:15Speaker 6: 2 for 11.
- 9:15Speaker 3: But Vic, you know what they were on fourth down?
- 9:18Speaker 3: 2 for 2.
- 9:19Speaker 2: You know what they've been this year on two-point conversions
- 9:22Speaker 2: when they've needed them?
- 9:23Speaker 5: 4 for 4.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Like when you have to do it, it gets done.
- 9:28Speaker 5: Usually, usually, and John Elway told me this a long
- 9:30Speaker 5: time ago, third down conversion rate is a quarterback stat
- 9:34Speaker 5: that usually evaluates what kind of quarterback you have. He
- 9:37Speaker 5: always told me that. Do you know what the Broncos
- 9:39Speaker 5: rank on third downs in the league right now?
- 9:42Speaker 6: Vic, they're terrible.
- 9:45Speaker 5: Fourth to last.
- 9:46Speaker 6: Yes. 28th? Yeah. Vic, you know what? Can I ask
- 9:50Speaker 6: you a question? Just don't even look, okay, off the
- 9:52Speaker 6: top of your head. Do you know what they were
- 9:54Speaker 6: yesterday on third down?
- 9:55Speaker 3: I just said it.
- 9:56Speaker 5: They were 2-4-11. We just had this conversation.
- 9:58Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sorry.
- 9:59Speaker 5: Hi, Vic.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Welcome to the show.
- 10:00Speaker 5: Hi, Moj.
- 10:01Speaker 6: Okay, what were they last week on third down? It
- 10:04Speaker 6: wasn't good. This is against the dang Cardinals. Let me
- 10:09Speaker 6: look it up because it's been bad week after week
- 10:12Speaker 6: after week. Last week, they were 3-11. This week, they're
- 10:16Speaker 6: 2 of 11. On third down conversions, and again, what
- 10:20Speaker 6: I'm saying is that nothing should make sense. They lost
- 10:23Speaker 6: the time of possession again last week. They lost the
- 10:25Speaker 6: passing yards. It's incredible. I'm telling you, it's incredible.
- 10:31Speaker 5: What did you do? And I hate to go down
- 10:33Speaker 5: this road because this was supposed to be casting aspersions day,
- 10:37Speaker 5: but what did you do on third and six when
- 10:40Speaker 5: they ran a four-yard pass route?
- 10:43Speaker 6: I screamed and stopped. Stop that. There was a time
- 10:48Speaker 6: around these parts, boys. I don't know what the heck. Yeah,
- 10:53Speaker 6: when they wouldn't throw to the sticks and we would
- 10:55Speaker 6: all freak out. You recall those days? Just throw it
- 10:57Speaker 6: to the sticks for God's sake. Remember that, Brett? You
- 11:00Speaker 6: recall that, Brett? Yes. And now it's like, hey, do
- 11:04Speaker 6: whatever you want to do because you're going to pull
- 11:05Speaker 6: it out. I don't care. Whatever you want.
- 11:10Speaker 5: At this point, they could punt on first down. I'd be,
- 11:12Speaker 5: all right, I see it. I see the value. I
- 11:16Speaker 5: see the game you're playing.
- 11:19Speaker 7: Yes.
- 11:19Speaker 6: 100%.
- 11:20Speaker 5: Denver has opted to punt on first down in the
- 11:23Speaker 5: third quarter.
- 11:24Speaker 2: I'm just going to do some quick math here for
- 11:26Speaker 2: you guys, and I think it is going to be
- 11:29Speaker 2: mind-blowing when I come up with.
- 11:31Speaker 3: This final number. So the Broncos are on a four-game
- 11:35Speaker 3: win streak right now.
- 11:36Speaker 5: Oh, you're going to give us their third down rate
- 11:38Speaker 5: on this four-game win streak?
- 11:40Speaker 3: So hang on. That's 22. Do the math here. 36, 48.
- 11:45Speaker 3: They've had 48 third downs. How many have they converted?
- 11:47Speaker 5: Remember, you took this pledge.
- 11:50Speaker 3: No, look, I'm also just stating basic facts here.
- 11:52Speaker 5: It's just an observation.
- 11:53Speaker 6: It's just an observation.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Britt, Britt, how— They've had 40—hang on a hand.
- 11:57Speaker 2: In the last four games, it's a four-game winning streak
- 11:59Speaker 2: dating back to the Chargers win.
- 12:00Speaker 3: They've had 48 third downs. How many have been converted?
- 12:02Speaker 5: 11 of 48, I would say.
- 12:04Speaker 6: I would say— no, I'd say probably 14 of 48. Nine. Nine. 9.
- 12:15Speaker 2: There were 2 of 11 this past game. There were
- 12:17Speaker 2: 3 of 11 versus the Cardinals. There were 3 of
- 12:18Speaker 2: 14 versus the Seahawks. And there were 1 of 12
- 12:21Speaker 2: versus the Chargers.
- 12:22Speaker 6: What is that percentage? 9 of 48?
- 12:24Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. Is that 4%?
- 12:25Speaker 1: 4.8%?
- 12:25Speaker 7: No, no, no.
- 12:26Speaker 5: It's more like 16. Something like that.
- 12:29Speaker 6: Like 16%. Help me out, Brett. I'm not good with math.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Nelly, you're... Yeah, it's 18, 19%.
- 12:41Speaker 6: Okay, there you go.
- 12:43Speaker 3: 18.75.
- 12:43Speaker 6: In your four-game winning streak, you are 18% on third
- 12:47Speaker 6: down conversions.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Roundup, roundup, roundup. Give them the 19.
- 12:51Speaker 1: 19.
- 12:52Speaker 6: Let's just say 19%.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Because we're not casting aspersions today.
- 12:55Speaker 6: You've lost the time of possession. You've won the turnover
- 12:58Speaker 6: battle in some games. Sometimes it's just neutral. So you
- 13:01Speaker 6: guys pretend to be smart guys. You guys all went
- 13:03Speaker 6: to college and How is this happening, then? Explain to
- 13:07Speaker 6: me like I'm a five-year-old how this is.
- 13:08Speaker 7: Happening, Vic.
- 13:09Speaker 5: Because that stat, and Beer Guy says stop cherry-picking stats. No,
- 13:14Speaker 5: we're not going to stop cherry-picking stats. But Beer Guy,
- 13:16Speaker 5: stop Beer Guy. The others also apply, too. Remember the
- 13:19Speaker 5: stat you gave us? What is Bo Nix's record in
- 13:22Speaker 5: fourth quarter games?
- 13:23Speaker 2: His quarterback rating when trailing by one possession in the
- 13:26Speaker 2: fourth quarter is the best in the NFL since 1991
- 13:30Speaker 2: at 119.
- 13:30Speaker 5: So do you want us to stop cherry-picking that stat, too?
- 13:34Speaker 5: Because if you're going to cherry pick, that's cherry picking.
- 13:36Speaker 3: But you ask, how does that happen, Moshe?
- 13:38Speaker 2: How do you go 9 of 48 over the last
- 13:41Speaker 2: four games on third downs and win all four games?
- 13:45Speaker 3: Well, because the fourth quarter stat matters too.
- 13:49Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah. And you know what?
- 13:51Speaker 5: The fourth quarter matters more than any quarter.
- 13:54Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 13:54Speaker 5: And that's the one quarter they dominate. It's the one quarter.
- 13:58Speaker 5: And maybe that's the answer. Maybe we're overthinking this. Maybe
- 14:01Speaker 5: we're stupid. And I know we're stupid.
- 14:04Speaker 2: So it's really hard to come back in a football
- 14:06Speaker 2: game when in the fourth quarter the clock's at zero.
- 14:09Speaker 2: You can come back when the second quarter the clock's
- 14:11Speaker 2: hit zero.
- 14:11Speaker 6: Yeah. Not in the fourth.
- 14:13Speaker 5: Over the last two years, this is the best fourth
- 14:15Speaker 5: quarter team in football. And it's not even close. The
- 14:19Speaker 5: Denver Broncos are the best fourth quarter team in football.
- 14:22Speaker 5: So if you play them, you better make sure that
- 14:24Speaker 5: game is won, no questions asked, before you get to
- 14:27Speaker 5: the fourth. You better be like San Francisco. San Francisco
- 14:31Speaker 5: had that game wrapped.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Kansas City in the first week.
- 14:34Speaker 5: Had that game wrapped. You better be those teams because
- 14:37Speaker 5: if you keep them alive going into the fourth, they
- 14:40Speaker 5: will bite you.
- 14:41Speaker 6: They will bite you right in the rump, Brett. You
- 14:45Speaker 6: ever have anything bite you in the rump?
- 14:48Speaker 3: Can't say I've had the pleasure.
- 14:50Speaker 5: That much butt.
- 14:51Speaker 6: Not a dog, not a squirrel, nothing.
- 14:54Speaker 4: Okay.
- 14:55Speaker 6: Because the Broncos are that dog, that squirrel, that alligator,
- 14:58Speaker 6: whatever it is you want to say is going to
- 15:00Speaker 6: bite your rump. That's exactly what they are in the
- 15:02Speaker 6: fourth quarter. It is amazing to see what they can
- 15:07Speaker 6: do and to see how they're doing it. And again,
- 15:09Speaker 6: Sean Payton, he's reiterated it many times in the offseason
- 15:12Speaker 6: and through the start of this season. We can't keep
- 15:14Speaker 6: on this razor's edge. You know what? Yeah, you can. Yeah,
- 15:18Speaker 6: you can. Keep doing it.

- 16:04Speaker 2: and Nuggets action on Altitude Sports Radio. The Avs are
- 16:07Speaker 2: in Chicago to take on the Blackhawks. Pre-game coverage powered
- 16:09Speaker 2: by Ron Westlaw starts at 5.30 with puck drop at
- 16:12Speaker 2: 6 on 92.5. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are back home to
- 16:16Speaker 2: face Portland. Pre-game at 6.30 with tip-off at 7 on
- 16:19Speaker 2: AM 950. Two games, two stations in one big night
- 16:22Speaker 2: right here on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
- 16:24Speaker 7: So.
- 16:26Speaker 3: While we're here, let's go ahead and do some of this.
- 16:29Speaker 6: Do whatever it takes to win.
- 16:30Speaker 1: It's the Johnson Auto Plaza Keys to the Game.
- 16:33Speaker 5: Johnson Auto Plaza.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Experience the power of the plaza, where they have the
- 16:37Speaker 1: keys to performance and style with Ram, Jeep, Chevy, Buick,
- 16:39Speaker 1: and GMC, and a huge selection of used all in
- 16:42Speaker 1: one place.
- 16:42Speaker 6: Johnson Auto Plaza. Here's Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Vic, let's start with you. Blazers, Nuggets, that's going to
- 16:49Speaker 2: be on AM 950 at 7 o'clock.
- 16:52Speaker 5: Do you know the Blazers have the best record in
- 16:53Speaker 5: this division?
- 16:55Speaker 6: I do know that.
- 16:56Speaker 5: Yeah, the Blazers are off to a hot start. They've
- 16:58Speaker 5: only lost one game. And they lost John Morant for
- 17:02Speaker 5: a month or so because of a hamstring issue. So
- 17:05Speaker 5: their string of guards is down a guy. I think
- 17:08Speaker 5: the key tonight is to contain Denny Avdia.
- 17:11Speaker 6: Avdia.
- 17:12Speaker 5: He is their stud, their leading scorer. He has a
- 17:16Speaker 5: great mid-range game. He's just got an ability to get
- 17:19Speaker 5: to the rim. Contain him, win the game. So pressure's
- 17:23Speaker 5: on the bigs. to pressure him.
- 17:26Speaker 2: That is again seven o'clock on am 9 50 at
- 17:30Speaker 2: six o'clock right here on 92.5 avs and blackhawks.
- 17:33Speaker 6: Chicago blackhawks have lost five of their last six games
- 17:38Speaker 6: they do have some young players though that are kind
- 17:40Speaker 6: of interesting to me kent seroff is uh is playing
- 17:44Speaker 6: better he's got five goals at two assists he's a
- 17:46Speaker 6: rook anton frondell the same kind of story he's got
- 17:48Speaker 6: three tallies but The problem with the Blackhawks in their
- 17:51Speaker 6: last 10, they just can't score. They're averaging about two
- 17:53Speaker 6: goals per game. Meanwhile, the Avs are up there at 3.6
- 17:56Speaker 6: goals per game. And when the Blackhawks take more penalties
- 18:00Speaker 6: than their opponent, they are D-E-D dead. So here's the thing.
- 18:04Speaker 6: Stay out of the box. Pound the front of the net.
- 18:06Speaker 6: You'll come out with the two points and a dub
- 18:08Speaker 6: and then look on to Columbus tomorrow night.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Keys to the game brought to you by Johnson Auto Plaza.

- 18:27Speaker 6: you've got to sign up right now, donate through Vitalant

- 18:46Speaker 6: Get in there, man, and help save some lives because
- 18:49Speaker 6: a lot of that blood does go to cancer patients.
- 18:52Speaker 3: We talked about this earlier.
- 18:53Speaker 2: We had Adam Schefter on earlier who commented on this.
- 18:57Speaker 2: The Broncos are one of the teams in the mix
- 18:59Speaker 2: for Jonathan Taylor. I am firmly in the camp of
- 19:02Speaker 2: you do not get outbid for this. Whatever you got
- 19:05Speaker 2: to do, go and do it. You need some sort
- 19:08Speaker 2: of boost on the offensive side. You know, I heard
- 19:11Speaker 2: Sanford talking about Jonah Coleman.
- 19:14Speaker 6: I like him.
- 19:14Speaker 3: I think Jonah Coleman's a good back.
- 19:17Speaker 2: I think that Jonathan Taylor's top five back in the league,
- 19:19Speaker 2: and that could be the difference. If your offensive line
- 19:22Speaker 2: isn't opening up holes, running backs like Jonathan Taylor can
- 19:26Speaker 2: create their own.
- 19:27Speaker 3: They're that level good.
- 19:29Speaker 5: I think the price right now is too steep. Can
- 19:31Speaker 5: you tell people what Adam Schefter thought the price would
- 19:34Speaker 5: be for Jonathan Taylor?
- 19:35Speaker 2: He said it was the same thing as the trade
- 19:36Speaker 2: for Christian McCaffrey four years ago, which was a second, third, fourth,
- 19:40Speaker 2: and fifth. Now, they weren't all in the same year.
- 19:44Speaker 2: I think the way that the Niners did that, it
- 19:46Speaker 2: was like a second and a fourth in one year
- 19:47Speaker 2: and a third and a fifth the year after that.
- 19:50Speaker 3: I don't think that's too much.
- 19:51Speaker 6: Two, three, four, five. Two, three, four, five.
- 19:53Speaker 2: What's the goal here? The goal is to win a
- 19:55Speaker 2: Super Bowl. You are in year three of Bo Nix.
- 19:58Speaker 2: You have to make a decision moving forward. If you
- 20:01Speaker 2: aren't paying him $ 60 million a year, let's say you're
- 20:03Speaker 2: doing franchise tag. Well, that's still one year, like 50.
- 20:05Speaker 2: I mean, this is the time where if you're going
- 20:09Speaker 2: to make some hay and spend some money on some things,
- 20:12Speaker 2: do it now.
- 20:13Speaker 6: Vic, I completely agree with Brett. You've got to consider.
- 20:18Speaker 6: Let me tell you, because right now it's not your
- 20:19Speaker 6: average bear situation. You've got to consider how unique this
- 20:24Speaker 6: situation really is. Your defense is killer. Your quarterback turns
- 20:28Speaker 6: it on in the fourth quarter, but beyond that, you're like, blah.
- 20:34Speaker 6: And you have this window that you're going to have
- 20:35Speaker 6: to decide whether or not to pay him. I just say,
- 20:38Speaker 6: like Brett says, get while the getting's good, man. Get
- 20:42Speaker 6: while the getting's good and go for it. You know,
- 20:45Speaker 6: you can afford it. You know, you don't know what
- 20:50Speaker 6: the future holds with your quarterback. Will he be a
- 20:52Speaker 6: $ 60 million a year guy, or will you not to
- 20:54Speaker 6: elect to resign? I mean, who knows? what it is.
- 20:58Speaker 6: But right now, with the way this team is constructed,
- 21:00Speaker 6: this guy is going to help you immensely, and you
- 21:02Speaker 6: can win a Super Bowl right now.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Here's the other thing.
- 21:05Speaker 6: Now.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Here's the other thing.
- 21:07Speaker 7: R.J.
- 21:08Speaker 3: Harvey going on IR makes this even more important to me.
- 21:12Speaker 7: J.K.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Dobbins, we can all tell, guys. It's just, it's not
- 21:14Speaker 2: there anymore.
- 21:15Speaker 6: It's just not.
- 21:16Speaker 2: So even if you like Jonah Coleman, what are you
- 21:18Speaker 2: going to do? We know that Sean Payton runs two
- 21:21Speaker 2: to three running backs in each game. Is it going
- 21:22Speaker 2: to be Jonah Coleman in.
- 21:25Speaker 6: J.K.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Dobbins, what's left of him and, what, Cody Schrader? Go
- 21:29Speaker 3: get Jonathan Taylor.
- 21:31Speaker 6: Give me him. He fixes everything.
- 21:33Speaker 5: You know, as Adam suggested, there are other backs out
- 21:35Speaker 5: there for half the asking price.
- 21:39Speaker 7: Okay.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Like, Brees Hall would be fine. I'm not against that
- 21:41Speaker 2: at all. But Jonathan Taylor is a top-five dude in
- 21:43Speaker 2: the league. And if the price is, I give up
- 21:46Speaker 2: a second.
- 21:47Speaker 6: Guess what?
- 21:47Speaker 3: The Broncos haven't had picks for years. Who cares? They
- 21:50Speaker 3: haven't had picks. They've had, what, two first-rounders? Like, since
- 21:55Speaker 3: George Payton's gotten here?
- 21:56Speaker 2: They've drafted Bo Nix, they've drafted Pat Sertan, and they
- 22:02Speaker 2: drafted Jadé Barron.
- 22:03Speaker 3: Those are your first-round picks.
- 22:05Speaker 5: What is Jonathan Taylor's per year? What's his contract look like?
- 22:09Speaker 3: It's mid-20s, 2024, something like that.
- 22:12Speaker 5: So, Brees Hall is $ 14. 5 million on the contract. That's
- 22:16Speaker 5: a three-year deal that expires in 28. Cap hit of $ 11.
- 22:18Speaker 6: 5 this year.
- 22:22Speaker 5: I'm just doing some compare and contrast, that's all. I'm
- 22:24Speaker 5: shopping for cars here. They're going to give me a
- 22:28Speaker 5: little more trade-in value for Brees Hall. I just think
- 22:31Speaker 5: 2-3-4-5 is too steep. That's me.
- 22:36Speaker 6: I do it in a heartbeat. And I'm here to
- 22:38Speaker 6: tell you, Vic, that I think when you get a
- 22:40Speaker 6: special back, and I think he's a special back. I
- 22:42Speaker 6: don't deny that. And I'm looking like, golly, what other
- 22:45Speaker 6: team is there a dark horse out there? I mean,
- 22:48Speaker 6: Jacksonville's coming off that spanking of the Colts, but you know,
- 22:51Speaker 6: Colts quit in that game, but is Bashal Tootin, is
- 22:54Speaker 6: he the answer to their aspirations with the Jags? Because
- 22:57Speaker 6: that's still a pretty damn good football team, even though
- 22:59Speaker 6: you beat them. I don't know. Is there a dark
- 23:03Speaker 6: horse coming in there? I'd pay it, Vic. I'm sorry,
- 23:07Speaker 6: I'd pay it. I'd pay it.
- 23:08Speaker 3: I think some people are looking at this the wrong way.
- 23:11Speaker 2: You know, you were talking about the cost, Vic, and
- 23:13Speaker 2: it actually says, based on cost, I would rather have
- 23:15Speaker 2: Brees Hall.
- 23:17Speaker 6: There is.
- 23:19Speaker 2: No amount of cost if you think that this guy
- 23:21Speaker 2: can get you to a Super Bowl and win it.
- 23:23Speaker 3: Like, the cost then does not matter.
- 23:25Speaker 5: Well, I mean, it's easy to say that. There's no guarantee.
- 23:29Speaker 2: I know, but this isn't, you aren't giving up three
- 23:31Speaker 2: first rounders, okay? Like, you can split up these picks
- 23:35Speaker 2: in some different years. You can do, look, if we're
- 23:37Speaker 2: assuming that's the price, I don't know. It's just a
- 23:40Speaker 2: matter to me of you, you need something that's an
- 23:44Speaker 2: impact in the backfield. And there are things that are nice. Like,
- 23:47Speaker 2: Jonah Coleman's nice. But I want something that's feared. And
- 23:51Speaker 2: there is a guarantee with Jonathan Taylor that that is
- 23:54Speaker 2: a feared backfield now.
- 23:57Speaker 6: I agree. I agree. Jonah Coleman has shown he can
- 23:59Speaker 6: catch the football, too. You know, he can run it
- 24:01Speaker 6: and catch it, and that's great. But, you know, if
- 24:04Speaker 6: he's going to be a special back, and maybe he's
- 24:06Speaker 6: got the tools to be that guy in the future.
- 24:08Speaker 6: He ain't that right now. And this guy is out there,
- 24:11Speaker 6: and the owner's like, I've done my notes. I've taken
- 24:16Speaker 6: all my necessary notes. verbiage down everything that I think
- 24:20Speaker 6: I know about this team and I'm willing to deal
- 24:22Speaker 6: this guy. Go do it, man. Go get it.
- 24:24Speaker 2: People are asking, what about a tight end? I'm like,
- 24:26Speaker 2: tight ends aren't available, man. I know everybody throws out McBride.
- 24:30Speaker 6: Not ones that are going to move the meter.
- 24:32Speaker 3: The Cardinals are not trading McBride.
- 24:34Speaker 5: How come that Colts tight end isn't available?
- 24:36Speaker 3: Because he's young. And he's really good.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Just because you're restarting doesn't mean you get rid of
- 24:42Speaker 2: every good player that's on your roster. You need to
- 24:45Speaker 2: think two years down, two, three years down the line...
- 24:47Speaker 2: when hopefully you've built that back up, is this guy
- 24:50Speaker 2: still a part of it? I think they would be
- 24:52Speaker 2: insane to trade Tyler Warren.
- 24:54Speaker 6: That's why Miami didn't trade their running back, and then
- 24:57Speaker 6: he got hurt. Yeah.
- 24:59Speaker 2: But their thought process is, hey, a couple years, this
- 25:02Speaker 2: guy's still going to be a huge part of what
- 25:03Speaker 2: we want to do.
- 25:04Speaker 6: Right.
- 25:06Speaker 2: You know, in the case of Jonathan Taylor, he's going
- 25:08Speaker 2: to be 30 by the time that the Colts hopefully
- 25:11Speaker 2: get back to competitive again. That's not something that you
- 25:14Speaker 2: keep on the roster. Quentin Nelson, same way.
- 25:16Speaker 3: He's in his 30s.
- 25:17Speaker 2: DeForest Buckner is another veteran. You're willing to part with
- 25:20Speaker 2: that stuff.
- 25:21Speaker 5: Hey, is this true? Did you guys hear this? Polymarket Sports.
- 25:26Speaker 5: What is Polymarket Sports?
- 25:29Speaker 4: It's one of those prediction markets, I believe.
- 25:32Speaker 6: It's a prediction market. You're betting on prediction marketing.
- 25:35Speaker 5: According to Polymarket Sports, somebody put $ 47, 000 on Denver to
- 25:40Speaker 5: win yesterday's game against KC. They did it in the
- 25:44Speaker 5: fourth quarter when they were down 24-13. They rallied to
- 25:48Speaker 5: win the game, and this dude, girl, whoever it is,
- 25:51Speaker 5: cashed out for $ 432, 554.
- 25:53Speaker 6: Oh, my God. Hey, man, if I put that money
- 26:02Speaker 6: on that final goal line stand, dude, I would be–
- 26:06Speaker 6: I can't tell you what I'd be doing with bricks,
- 26:09Speaker 6: regarding bricks.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Yeah, but Moj– If you're a guy that put– what's
- 26:13Speaker 2: the number? $ 47, 000, did you say?
- 26:15Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:16Speaker 6: You can afford to lose $ 47, 000?
- 26:19Speaker 2: That ain't somebody that's like– I bet this happened. He
- 26:22Speaker 2: put $ 47, 000 down. He won $ 430, 000, and he goes, oh, sweet.
- 26:26Speaker 2: That was his reaction to $ 430, 000.
- 26:29Speaker 6: I think he had a hedge in there.
- 26:32Speaker 5: I think there was a hedge bet somewhere.
- 26:35Speaker 3: I don't even know– but I don't know how you'd
- 26:37Speaker 3: hedge it, Vic.
- 26:37Speaker 6: That's not like– Well, when the Broncos make it $ 24, 000. Yeah,
- 26:41Speaker 6: when the Broncos make it 24-21, maybe you hedge it
- 26:44Speaker 6: a little bit with the Chiefs just to try to,
- 26:46Speaker 6: you know, so then you end up winning 200 Gs
- 26:49Speaker 6: instead of 432 or whatever. I don't know. I don't
- 26:54Speaker 6: swim in those waters.
- 26:55Speaker 2: I am not impressed by the guy who makes a
- 26:57Speaker 2: bet like this because you have the money to afford
- 26:59Speaker 2: to lose a bet like that. The ones I'm impressed
- 27:03Speaker 2: with is the guy who turns $ 10 on an eight-player
- 27:07Speaker 2: parlay into, you know, 300 grand like that's the impressive
- 27:10Speaker 2: one right because that's a guy who's just like look
- 27:13Speaker 2: man i i'm going out and buying the discount beer
- 27:17Speaker 2: okay i just like to put a little extra on
- 27:19Speaker 2: some games to make it interesting over the weekend i
- 27:23Speaker 2: put a million dollars on bama to win okay so
- 27:26Speaker 2: you're a millionaire.
- 27:28Speaker 6: When was the last time a dude you know wagered
- 27:32Speaker 6: 20 bucks and ended the day with like 136,000. That
- 27:36Speaker 6: just doesn't happen.
- 27:38Speaker 3: I think that happens every week. You're telling me there's
- 27:40Speaker 3: not one guy?
- 27:42Speaker 6: Look at me laying it down. It don't happen.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Well, that's why you're you.
- 27:49Speaker 6: How do you do?
- 27:50Speaker 3: We don't know yet. We have to wait until Friday.
- 27:52Speaker 7: We don't know.
- 27:56Speaker 6: Nelly, does it come down to tonight? Am I right
- 27:58Speaker 6: about that or am I wrong about that?
- 27:59Speaker 4: It came down to last night.
- 28:03Speaker 5: So who'd you take last night?
- 28:04Speaker 8: You took the under in the total amount of points
- 28:07Speaker 8: scored by the Eagles and the Manders because you said
- 28:11Speaker 8: they both suck and can't score points.
- 28:13Speaker 4: So you took the under.
- 28:16Speaker 5: I love this suggestion from Abs.
- 28:17Speaker 7: What a bad, bad, bad, bad.
- 28:18Speaker 5: We're going to change the name of this segment from
- 28:21Speaker 5: Lay It Down to Lay It Clown.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Oh, maybe that's what we call it when he doesn't
- 28:27Speaker 2: hit his numbers.
- 28:28Speaker 3: It's Lay It Clown.
- 28:29Speaker 6: Lay It Clown. Do it. Dude, I'm in pretty good shape.
- 28:33Speaker 6: I don't necessarily want to give you guys what's happening now,
- 28:36Speaker 6: but Nelly, how are you feeling about this? We don't
- 28:38Speaker 6: have any clowns. My college wasn't so good. My pro
- 28:44Speaker 6: was good. Hang on, this is great.
- 28:45Speaker 2: A texter says the Clippers would give up five first-rounders
- 28:48Speaker 2: for Jonathan Taylor.
- 28:50Speaker 6: That's so funny. And the Dodgers would pay him $ 90
- 28:54Speaker 6: million a year just to sit on the bench.
- 28:57Speaker 4: But starting in 2034 or 2044.
- 28:59Speaker 3: Yeah, deferred payments, of course.
- 29:01Speaker 5: A couple people were uppity about what they saw on
- 29:04Speaker 5: the sideline when Sean Payton got into a screaming match
- 29:07Speaker 5: with his defensive line coach.
- 29:08Speaker 6: And my reaction is always, so what?
- 29:12Speaker 5: Big deal.
- 29:12Speaker 3: We do this all the time.
- 29:13Speaker 5: Coaches scream. Why do people get all, oh, my God,
- 29:18Speaker 5: did you see that? What's the big deal? Don't you
- 29:21Speaker 5: scream at your coworkers?
- 29:25Speaker 3: Ever? So what was that about again? I need to.
- 29:28Speaker 5: Know what goes on at work. If you're listening to
- 29:30Speaker 5: this show and you're listening, do you ever scream at
- 29:32Speaker 5: each other? At your co-workers? Does screaming happen?
- 29:36Speaker 6: Listen, we're allowed to do that on this station because
- 29:39Speaker 6: that's what is part of the show. Because we need
- 29:41Speaker 6: to get at each other's bacon. But I think if
- 29:44Speaker 6: you're in your cube, you can't just lean over and go, Hey, Martha!
- 29:47Speaker 3: What the hell's your problem?
- 29:49Speaker 6: Let me ask you this. Why not? I don't think
- 29:51Speaker 6: that's acceptable.
- 29:53Speaker 5: Why not? Why is that not acceptable? At the end
- 29:57Speaker 5: of the day, you're just trying to produce.
- 29:59Speaker 6: Hey, Judy, you're going to use the effing copy machine
- 30:02Speaker 6: all morning long? Some of us got work to do.
- 30:05Speaker 6: What's your problem? Dude, you'd be HR bound so quickly.
- 30:09Speaker 3: That's what I mean.
- 30:10Speaker 6: That's great.
- 30:11Speaker 5: So do you think Broncos HR is going to look
- 30:13Speaker 5: at that?
- 30:14Speaker 6: Mike, I'm tired of you picking in my used fries
- 30:17Speaker 6: in the refrigerator. You mother bank. You know, that's not
- 30:23Speaker 6: acceptable in other lines of work, bro. Hey, Steve, bleep you.
- 30:28Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 30:29Speaker 6: I mean, you know, yeah, Jimmy, this is the blankiest,
- 30:33Speaker 6: blankest presentation I've ever seen in my life. Now get
- 30:36Speaker 6: your ass back in your cube and redo it.
- 30:38Speaker 5: Too many HR. Too many HR departments. Can you imagine
- 30:43Speaker 5: if there's an HR department scanning the Broncos sidelines or
- 30:46Speaker 5: any football sidelines?
- 30:47Speaker 6: Oh, that'd be hilarious.
- 30:49Speaker 5: Could you put HR on the abs bench?
- 30:53Speaker 6: Are you crazy?
- 30:54Speaker 3: All right, well, hang on. Can I ask you something?
- 30:57Speaker 3: Speaking of being upset at work.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Do you think, because we've seen this before, wide receivers
- 31:05Speaker 2: get upset when they don't get the football. I don't
- 31:06Speaker 2: know if you guys, Justin Jefferson is about to hit
- 31:09Speaker 2: a breaking point in Minnesota. He is on the sideline
- 31:11Speaker 2: like barking at people because he's not getting the football.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Do you think that maybe for the first time ever,
- 31:21Speaker 2: as a team is winning, the quarterback might look at
- 31:26Speaker 2: his coach like Baker Mayfield does and says, can I play?
- 31:31Speaker 6: Will you allow me to play?
- 31:33Speaker 2: Through the last two weeks, Baker Mayfield has completed seven passes.
- 31:37Speaker 2: They've won both games. They've won them going away in
- 31:40Speaker 2: both games. But do you think that Baker's upset? No,
- 31:43Speaker 2: he got paid.
- 31:44Speaker 6: Seven of 14? What is he?
- 31:47Speaker 7: No.
- 31:47Speaker 6: What is he? Seven of 14?
- 31:48Speaker 2: Seven of 14 over the last two weeks. They didn't
- 31:50Speaker 2: complete a pass in this win this weekend.
- 31:52Speaker 5: No, because his stats don't matter this year. He got paid.
- 31:56Speaker 3: I don't think it's all tied into money. I think
- 31:58Speaker 3: it's also you want to be involved.
- 32:01Speaker 6: When you run the football, when you've got two guys,
- 32:04Speaker 6: and I know it was unique for both guys, what
- 32:07Speaker 6: did they have on the ground? 300 and something yards
- 32:09Speaker 6: on the ground yesterday, what did they have? Help me out, Brett.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Yes, it was 300 and something.
- 32:14Speaker 6: Okay, the week before they had like 280 or something.
- 32:18Speaker 6: If you've got a running game that is that good,
- 32:22Speaker 6: why even throw the football? Mike Evans is probably happy
- 32:26Speaker 6: he's gone. I mean, why even think about throwing it?
- 32:30Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Was 0 of 3 for 0 yards, and he had
- 32:38Speaker 2: three times the quarterback rating of Michael Penix Jr.
- 32:41Speaker 4: In that game.
- 32:43Speaker 6: Hey, last thing.
- 32:44Speaker 2: Michael Penix was 8 of 24 with no touchdowns and
- 32:49Speaker 2: four interceptions.
- 32:51Speaker 6: Amazing. Last thing before we get to Sean Payton here.
- 32:54Speaker 6: The Avs played the Blackhawks tonight. You realize Bowen Byram
- 32:56Speaker 6: is now a Chicago Blackhawk, right? Signed a new contract
- 32:59Speaker 6: with them.
- 32:59Speaker 3: Making $ 8 billion a year.
- 33:02Speaker 6: He's making 12 and a half pickles per. He's been
- 33:06Speaker 6: injured at points this year. He's day-to-day. He may not
- 33:09Speaker 6: go tonight. He's got one assist on the season and
- 33:12Speaker 6: is a minus seven for 12 and a half pickles per.
- 33:14Speaker 7: Yeesh.
- 33:15Speaker 6: Yeesh. Pickles.
- 33:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like how you just say.
- 33:18Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 33:18Speaker 5: Why do hockey guys always have to give these.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Just say millions.
- 33:22Speaker 6: 12 and a half.
- 33:23Speaker 5: You guys are all the same.
- 33:24Speaker 6: A million dollars.
- 33:25Speaker 5: No, but you guys are all the same. You guys
- 33:26Speaker 5: throw these little words at us like.
- 33:29Speaker 6: Vic. How sly we are.
- 33:30Speaker 3: He makes 12 and a half pepperoncinis.
- 33:33Speaker 5: I mean, seriously, what gives? Why do you think you
- 33:37Speaker 5: can do that?
- 33:39Speaker 6: Sean Payton coming right up here on Alpha Q Sports
- 33:42Speaker 6: Radio 92.5.
- 33:43Speaker 9: How can you trust a man who eats 7-Eleven burritos
- 33:48Speaker 9: and Pop-Tarts with Diet Cokes every morning? Do not trust
- 33:52Speaker 9: Mark Mosier. Do not trust him with your children. Vote
- 33:55Speaker 9: no to Mark Mosier and vote yes to your children's health.
- 33:59Speaker 9: I'm Brett Kane, and I approve this message.
- 34:05Speaker 2: All right, it's Rally House Football Monday. We have Sean
- 34:07Speaker 2: Payton and his presser coming up here shortly. Again, Vic,
- 34:10Speaker 2: to go back to this, I can't... You put the
- 34:12Speaker 2: number in text form and reading it's even different. In
- 34:15Speaker 2: the four-game win streak that the Broncos are currently on
- 34:18Speaker 2: right now, they are 9 of 48 on third downs.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Less than 20%. But they're 4-0.
- 34:26Speaker 2: It seems impossible. Everything about what the Broncos do seems impossible.
- 34:31Speaker 2: And yet, they continue to make it possible because that
- 34:35Speaker 2: team doesn't lose. And they certainly don't lose at home.
- 34:38Speaker 2: And Sean Payton talked about this. This is absolutely true.
- 34:44Speaker 2: The advantage that you get from playing in that stadium
- 34:48Speaker 2: and how great the crowds have been, it's real. It's
- 34:51Speaker 2: a real thing that makes a tangible difference to the game.
- 34:55Speaker 2: And Sean Payton said it, you know, can you say that,
- 34:59Speaker 2: The false start on what could have been the game-winning
- 35:02Speaker 2: touchdown for KC was crowd-induced?
- 35:04Speaker 7: Maybe.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Certainly could have been.
- 35:07Speaker 6: I mean, hey, listen, those fans were absolutely outstanding. By
- 35:10Speaker 6: the way, DMACC says he's going to ask my question
- 35:13Speaker 6: if he's allowed to ask. I'm not sure how long
- 35:15Speaker 6: this is going to be today. What question?
- 35:17Speaker 5: Because if he's asking your question, it's going to be
- 35:19Speaker 5: a two-and-a-half-minute question.
- 35:20Speaker 6: Okay. If it's a Mosher question.
- 35:23Speaker 5: And it's going to end without a question. It's going
- 35:25Speaker 5: to end just with a statement. If it's indeed a
- 35:27Speaker 5: Mosier question that DMACC's going to ask, he better do
- 35:30Speaker 5: it the right way.
- 35:31Speaker 2: But DMACC's got to do his own little flavor to it, too.
- 35:33Speaker 3: He's got to drop one of those, hey, pretty sick
- 35:35Speaker 3: reference on the beer thing, man. That was pretty cool.
- 35:39Speaker 6: If you don't let me explain, you're going to end
- 35:42Speaker 6: up with a red ass. Okay? So just hang tough.
- 35:44Speaker 3: What?
- 35:47Speaker 6: Yeah. I'm going to just. Spank him? Yeah. So the
- 35:51Speaker 6: deal is that.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Speaking of HR departments.
- 35:53Speaker 6: Yeah. Listen. Listen. What quarterback would he remind you of?
- 35:58Speaker 6: Is there a guy in the history of this game
- 36:00Speaker 6: that what Bo Nix is doing reminds you just of
- 36:03Speaker 6: that guy?
- 36:04Speaker 5: Well, there's different ways, but Elway did a lot of
- 36:06Speaker 5: what he's doing.
- 36:07Speaker 6: Okay. Well, you're not comparing Bo Nix to John Elway. No.
- 36:11Speaker 6: You're too smart for that. Of course I'm not. Well,
- 36:13Speaker 6: then shut up.
- 36:17Speaker 1: Okay.
- 36:18Speaker 6: So then.
- 36:18Speaker 5: So I'm not going to compare him to Tim Tebow either.
- 36:22Speaker 6: Neither am I. So I would even just ask, Sean,
- 36:25Speaker 6: how is this happening? Because when you look at historical data,
- 36:29Speaker 6: and like Elway told you, Vic, hey, how good is
- 36:32Speaker 6: a quarterback? You show me his third down conversion rate,
- 36:34Speaker 6: and I'll show you who a good quarterback is. What?
- 36:36Speaker 3: I got to comp.
- 36:37Speaker 2: It's not going to be– this is going to be–
- 36:40Speaker 2: it's going to sound very uncomplimentary.
- 36:41Speaker 6: Len Dawson.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Remember when Rex Grossman took the Bears to a– Len Dawson.
- 36:47Speaker 6: Go to a history book.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Rex Grossman took that Bears team to a Super Bowl
- 36:50Speaker 2: that was carried by a defense that just was insane.
- 36:52Speaker 5: And a special teams unit with the best return man ever.
- 36:55Speaker 6: Yeah, but he never had comebacks like this.
- 36:58Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't remember it like this.
- 37:00Speaker 6: Rex Grossman never got in the fourth quarter and slung
- 37:03Speaker 6: the pig.
- 37:03Speaker 5: You super blew your mouth right.
- 37:04Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, just grasping at straws now.
- 37:06Speaker 5: You just shut that mouth and never opened it again.
- 37:08Speaker 6: Stupid red beard. Look at your dumb beard.
- 37:10Speaker 5: What a horrible comp.
- 37:13Speaker 3: You said Elway.
- 37:15Speaker 5: I'm trying to meet him halfway. Hey, let me ask
- 37:17Speaker 5: you this. Let me ask you guys. Who's the best
- 37:20Speaker 5: defensive player on that Chiefs defense?
- 37:25Speaker 6: Oh, that's a great question.
- 37:27Speaker 5: Who would you say?
- 37:28Speaker 3: All right, hang on. Hang on to that. Let's see
- 37:31Speaker 3: your couch.
- 37:31Speaker 10: Wondering how you've sort of seen teams handle going into
- 37:38Speaker 10: sort of like the last game before the bye week,
- 37:40Speaker 10: how you keep the train focused there, and if you
- 37:43Speaker 10: gave the players a little extra time off today.
- 37:49Speaker 7: Well, they have a little less time off today. They'll
- 37:51Speaker 7: all come in, they'll get a lift, they'll watch the film. Look,
- 37:54Speaker 7: I think the first question about focus the next game,
- 38:00Speaker 7: that starts way back when you're putting your team together
- 38:04Speaker 7: with the right type of guys and the right type
- 38:06Speaker 7: of focus. Everyone understands each week, each game, a different challenge,
- 38:13Speaker 7: a different... approach as to how to win. And that
- 38:19Speaker 7: would be that.
- 38:21Speaker 9: Zach Stevens, DNBR.
- 38:22Speaker 10: Hey coach.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Thanks for talking with us today.
- 38:25Speaker 3: The ground game has struggled throughout the season at times.
- 38:28Speaker 8: What, what, what would you attribute the running issues to
- 38:31Speaker 8: and how easily correctable is that?
- 38:34Speaker 7: Well, I listen, I think we're continuing to work at it.
- 38:37Speaker 7: There's some glimpses yesterday. There's some, there are also some
- 38:41Speaker 7: looks yesterday that we felt could have been blocked better.
- 38:45Speaker 7: we'll continue to work on that. And that's something that,
- 38:48Speaker 7: you know, we feel like we definitely feel like there'll
- 38:52Speaker 7: be improvement with.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Jeff Legwald, ESPN.
- 38:57Speaker 6: I'm just curious.
- 38:59Speaker 5: You lead the league in defensive snaps by a pretty
- 39:02Speaker 5: good margin.
- 39:02Speaker 6: I'm just curious if, if that's a metric you give
- 39:05Speaker 6: much credence to, or is it just a factor of,
- 39:08Speaker 6: of games?
- 39:09Speaker 7: No, no, there's, there's a lot that goes into that. And, and,
- 39:14Speaker 7: That's a stat I don't like. It's a stat that
- 39:17Speaker 7: on offense, we have to do a good job of
- 39:21Speaker 7: possessing the ball. And, and so that's something that, that
- 39:25Speaker 7: we pay attention to.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Burning crystal.
- 39:29Speaker 5: John's sticking with maybe stats. You don't like, I guess
- 39:31Speaker 5: I'm curious if you can put your finger on, uh.
- 39:34Speaker 3: Why Bo's maybe having a few more batted balls than
- 39:36Speaker 3: he's had in the past.
- 39:39Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:39Speaker 7: I mean, look, we'll evaluate them. Sometimes it's a good
- 39:42Speaker 7: play by the defensive line. Some defensive lines are coached
- 39:45Speaker 7: very well. Other times it's protection issues. Um, I would
- 39:50Speaker 7: say both happened yesterday. There were some protection issues, technique
- 39:54Speaker 7: issues that put a guy right in his face that
- 39:57Speaker 7: we have to clean up.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Eric Delalla, DenverBroncos.com.
- 40:02Speaker 5: Hey, Coach.
- 40:03Speaker 6: JL Skinner had the third down tackle there at the
- 40:05Speaker 6: end of the game. He came in.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Just wondering what you've made of some of the depth
- 40:09Speaker 1: pieces in your defensive backfield that have come in and
- 40:12Speaker 1: contributed over the last several weeks.
- 40:15Speaker 7: They've been significant for us, you know, and a lot
- 40:18Speaker 7: of these young guys we've drafted that are getting more
- 40:21Speaker 7: and more playing time. It's a little bit of our league,
- 40:26Speaker 7: and you just hope you're in a position with depth
- 40:29Speaker 7: at those spots.
- 40:32Speaker 9: Mike, last night news.
- 40:33Speaker 3: Yeah, Sean, what can you tell us?
- 40:36Speaker 5: There's a lot of stuff out there about what the
- 40:37Speaker 5: trade deadline and you guys who you're interested in.
- 40:41Speaker 3: I was wondering if with the two acts on Iowa.
- 40:44Speaker 7: Look out there, Mike. What's out there? What's out there?
- 40:48Speaker 7: You mean the internet gossip? Is that what you're asking
- 40:51Speaker 7: me a question about? What's out there?
- 40:54Speaker 2: Interest in Jonathan Taylor, interest in running back, interest in
- 40:58Speaker 2: skill positions.
- 41:00Speaker 7: No, you're asking me a question about gossip. George and
- 41:03Speaker 7: I will spend time on looking at the team any
- 41:08Speaker 7: way or where we can improve it, but I'm not
- 41:12Speaker 7: going to answer questions about internet gossip. Kyle Fredrickson, The Gazette.
- 41:18Speaker 6: Hey, Sean.
- 41:19Speaker 5: Jalen Waddell made several big catches last night. Just curious
- 41:22Speaker 5: what you've thought about his progression in the offense and
- 41:25Speaker 5: what kind of could be there more for his role
- 41:28Speaker 5: on offense.
- 41:29Speaker 7: Absolutely. Let's keep going, right? I mean, it's something that's
- 41:33Speaker 7: going to be important for us. He's dynamic. He's quick.
- 41:38Speaker 7: You know, each week, it was week game plan. It
- 41:41Speaker 7: was a little bit more challenging last week because You know,
- 41:44Speaker 7: Wednesday he didn't go, and there's that uncertainty. But, you know,
- 41:48Speaker 7: we're going to need his plays down the stretch.
- 41:51Speaker 3: Coach, that appears to be all the questions we have
- 41:53Speaker 3: for you today. Thank you so much for.
- 41:54Speaker 7: Taking the time.
- 41:55Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 41:56Speaker 3: Don't want to comment on Internet gossip. I got you.
- 41:58Speaker 3: I have a question.
- 41:59Speaker 2: What do you think about Zendaya and Tom Holland getting
- 42:02Speaker 2: secretly married recently, Coach?
- 42:04Speaker 3: What do you think about that?
- 42:05Speaker 5: These are the hypotheticals, right?
- 42:08Speaker 6: I love them.
- 42:09Speaker 2: Here's what's funny, though, and this is the way that
- 42:11Speaker 2: I think about this. This is not by any way
- 42:13Speaker 2: like a real answer.
- 42:15Speaker 3: When somebody asks you.
- 42:16Speaker 2: Hey, I heard there's some rumors going around that you
- 42:19Speaker 2: guys are interested in running back. You know what's a
- 42:23Speaker 2: really easy answer? Nope, we love Jonah Coleman. You know
- 42:29Speaker 2: what he didn't say?
- 42:30Speaker 7: That.
- 42:31Speaker 5: Dude, I mean, I don't think you have to hire anybody.
- 42:35Speaker 5: Inspector Clouseau here, they're clearly interested in Jonathan Taylor.
- 42:39Speaker 6: Yes.
- 42:39Speaker 5: They're clearly in negotiations.
- 42:42Speaker 6: Why wouldn't they be?
- 42:43Speaker 5: I'd be more concerned if they weren't actively trying. So
- 42:48Speaker 5: it's just, you know, these press conferences, half of these
- 42:51Speaker 5: press conferences are a waste of time.
- 42:54Speaker 1: True.
- 42:55Speaker 5: They just are.
- 42:56Speaker 2: Texture says, wife, do you have to drink 37 beers
- 42:59Speaker 2: every time you golf? Me, I'm not going to answer
- 43:01Speaker 2: questions about internet gossip. Were you out.
- 43:06Speaker 6: Late last night?
- 43:07Speaker 5: You got home at 2.30 a.m.
- 43:09Speaker 6: This is all rumors, rumors, rumors.
- 43:12Speaker 3: I don't address rumors.
- 43:13Speaker 5: By the way, your number that you came up with
- 43:15Speaker 5: on your own, 19.6% is what the Broncos' third down
- 43:19Speaker 5: conversion has been over the last four games.
- 43:22Speaker 7: It's 18.75.
- 43:22Speaker 3: I rounded up to 19.
- 43:23Speaker 5: Okay, 19%. That's the lowest, according to Jake Coyne, our
- 43:28Speaker 5: numbers guy who's listening to the show. Thanks, Jake. That's
- 43:31Speaker 5: the lowest third down percentage over a four-game win streak
- 43:34Speaker 5: by any team in the last 35 years.
- 43:36Speaker 6: I'm sure.
- 43:37Speaker 10: Percentage of survival.
- 43:39Speaker 6: Of course it is. We usually do. Of course.
- 43:42Speaker 3: Guys, nothing about this team makes sense.
- 43:46Speaker 6: Nothing makes sense, dude. There's nothing that.
- 43:48Speaker 5: Here's another one. I asked you guys, who's the best
- 43:51Speaker 5: defensive player for Kansas City? Guy by the name of
- 43:55Speaker 5: Chris Jones.
- 43:57Speaker 3: He has been traditionally.
- 43:58Speaker 6: He's an easy default.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Nick Bolton's pretty good, man.
- 44:01Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.
- 44:01Speaker 5: I guess over the years, right? Yesterday, Chris Jones, zero tackles,
- 44:05Speaker 5: zero sacks, zero.
- 44:07Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 44:08Speaker 5: He was a zero.
- 44:10Speaker 2: He's another guy, man. When you talk about players who
- 44:13Speaker 2: are really, really good, and I know that you continue.
- 44:17Speaker 2: You're a very, very good player.
- 44:20Speaker 3: Chris Jones is up there. Like, he's getting up there.
- 44:24Speaker 3: He's what now? He's 32?
- 44:26Speaker 6: 32?
- 44:27Speaker 2: 32 years old? So we still got time left, but,
- 44:30Speaker 2: I mean, these are... Nick Bolton's impressive, though. That guy
- 44:33Speaker 2: was all over.
- 44:34Speaker 6: The field yesterday. Yeah, he's pretty good.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Well, and they got that rookie that didn't play yesterday
- 44:39Speaker 2: in Mansoor Delane, who also looks pretty good.
- 44:42Speaker 3: Carl Aftis is also pretty good. Like, they got some
- 44:43Speaker 3: decent players on that defense.
- 44:44Speaker 5: The best player was Emmitt Johnson. Dude, that kid.
- 44:49Speaker 2: He's gonna be one of those that's just an annoying
- 44:52Speaker 2: little gnat, isn't he? Where he just continues to hang
- 44:54Speaker 2: around for, like, seven years, making three or four plays
- 44:58Speaker 2: a game, never being the feature guy.
- 45:01Speaker 6: Is he their Marvin Mims?
- 45:05Speaker 3: No, he's used.
- 45:07Speaker 6: Yeah, good point.
- 45:08Speaker 2: They tried to get, I will say this, they tried
- 45:10Speaker 2: to get Mims more involved. They give him the ball
- 45:13Speaker 2: on handoffs.
- 45:13Speaker 3: They're like, screw it, just take it, please.
- 45:16Speaker 6: Do something. Couple of carries, couple of catches, couple this,
- 45:19Speaker 6: couple that, couple... I'm.
- 45:21Speaker 7: Not going to answer questions about internet gossip.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Yeah, but what'd you think about Brangelina? It is a
- 45:29Speaker 2: Rally House Football Monday.
- 45:31Speaker 6: That's so old. That's like 20 years ago, man.
- 45:33Speaker 3: I don't know Hollywood couples anymore, man.
- 45:35Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 45:36Speaker 5: You said yours earlier, and I was trying to come
- 45:38Speaker 5: up with something, and I don't have anything. Is there
- 45:41Speaker 5: something about the Kardashians, the latest?
- 45:43Speaker 6: I don't know. Swift and Kelsey. You going Bennifer?
- 45:47Speaker 5: I saw a photo of Mama Kardashian dating this guy
- 45:50Speaker 5: like 40 years younger.
- 45:52Speaker 7: I'm not going to answer questions about internet gossip.

- 46:11Speaker 6: Car accident, call 303-222-2222. There's that one play.
- 46:18Speaker 8: In the game yesterday, it was pretty early on, I
- 46:19Speaker 8: think it was in the first or the second quarter,
- 46:21Speaker 8: where Mahomes threw a little short pass to Kelsey, and
- 46:25Speaker 8: he caught the ball, and then he was immediately popped,
- 46:27Speaker 8: and the ball squirted out, and at first they thought
- 46:30Speaker 8: it was an interception, but then it turns out it
- 46:31Speaker 8: was an incomplete pass. The only thing I could think
- 46:35Speaker 8: of in that moment was your stupid bit about Travis
- 46:39Speaker 8: Kelsey and how beat up he is. Like, when they
- 46:40Speaker 8: were showing the replay to determine if it was incomplete,
- 46:43Speaker 8: all I could hear was, Oh!
- 46:49Speaker 6: Oh! Yeah, of course. You've ruined me, Brett.
- 46:53Speaker 3: Look, you know what's funny about that?
- 46:55Speaker 6: I had.
- 46:56Speaker 3: My dad listens to the show all the time. I
- 46:58Speaker 3: have a few friends that listen.
- 46:59Speaker 6: Oh, new listeners.
- 47:00Speaker 3: There was... There's two things that happened.
- 47:03Speaker 2: People told me either I was dying, like crying laughing,
- 47:07Speaker 2: or the other said it was stupid and it wasn't
- 47:09Speaker 2: funny at all. And I like that there's no in-between.
- 47:12Speaker 2: You either thought it was hilarious or it was the
- 47:13Speaker 2: dumbest thing you've ever heard.
- 47:14Speaker 5: I took great joy in watching you have joy. That's
- 47:19Speaker 5: the only joy I had. I thought it was a
- 47:20Speaker 5: dumb bit, but I really liked the fact that you
- 47:22Speaker 5: took so much joy.
- 47:23Speaker 6: Out of it. Vic, do it once.
- 47:24Speaker 2: Now, like, give him the cracking sound, and I want
- 47:25Speaker 2: you to pretend you're an old man in that herd, okay?
- 47:28Speaker 3: Just scream. Go ahead. iTunes, Spotify, Mojo, Vardy, and Kane.
- 47:37Speaker 3: Avs in Nuggets. Double Dipperoo tonight. Nugget's going to be
- 47:40Speaker 3: on AM 950. The Ave's on 92.5. We'll talk about
