- 1:32Speaker 5: There's all kinds of rules.
- 1:33Speaker 3: We will we'll get into the minutia of Broncos camp
- 1:36Speaker 3: and what we saw yesterday. But I floated you this
- 1:38Speaker 3: question going into the break. The akron Zips are giving
- 1:41Speaker 3: a lucky fan the ability to script their opening drive
- 1:46Speaker 3: of the season.
- 1:47Speaker 4: And that's where we're at now.
- 1:48Speaker 3: If Sean, If Sean gave you the ability, what's the
- 1:53Speaker 3: script for the opening drive?
- 1:54Speaker 2: Uh?
- 1:55Speaker 4: Play action and every throat of Marvin mems.
- 1:58Speaker 2: I love it.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Just force feed them.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fantastic.
- 2:02Speaker 5: I'm I'm Jeff, I'm on your bandwagon, man, you you
- 2:05Speaker 5: you do you?
- 2:06Speaker 2: I agree. I would do the same damn.
- 2:08Speaker 6: Thing, or or I would uh uh yeah two back
- 2:12Speaker 6: two tight end thro throw play action. I gotta have
- 2:16Speaker 6: some runs in there because I'm a dinosaur. But anyway, Yeah,
- 2:20Speaker 6: a couple of.
- 2:22Speaker 5: Hey man, uh, we were talking earlier and yesterday I
- 2:26Speaker 5: thought d mac and Tyler and Scotty and coach. They
- 2:30Speaker 5: dubbed it correctly. This is the uh nothing to see
- 2:32Speaker 5: here camp. So far from Peyton righting me everything.
- 2:35Speaker 4: That's his team retention, right right. I don't know twenty
- 2:39Speaker 4: I I.
- 2:39Speaker 6: Honestly can't remember covering a team I mean last year
- 2:42Speaker 6: that had retention that was already I think one of
- 2:46Speaker 6: the most biggest returning percentages I had ever covered. You know,
- 2:50Speaker 6: this is my fortieth year, I think. So that's a
- 2:53Speaker 6: lot of teams and this one even up the ante
- 2:57Speaker 6: they have. They have twenty of twenty two starter from
- 3:00Speaker 6: the AFC Championship game back. If you count the special teams, guys,
- 3:05Speaker 6: it's twenty five, you know, yeah, twenty five or twenty
- 3:09Speaker 6: three returning players.
- 3:11Speaker 4: You know, it's it's unbelievable.
- 3:12Speaker 2: It's pretty amazing.
- 3:13Speaker 5: But it's also the Hey, look, Jaylen Waddle stops on
- 3:16Speaker 5: it on it. You know, you could see it coming
- 3:18Speaker 5: maybe a little bit. The guys are watching him. He's
- 3:19Speaker 5: being a little bit ginger. He stops and and he's
- 3:22Speaker 5: off the field. He's fine. You know, most tight has
- 3:24Speaker 5: nothing to see here. Well, you know, Courland Sutton's second
- 3:27Speaker 5: day in a row that he's not probably nothing to
- 3:29Speaker 5: see here. Me, he's fine, mean, and I have no
- 3:31Speaker 5: reason in the world, Jeff who disbelieves Sean Payton.
- 3:34Speaker 2: I think he's absolutely right. I'm sure he's muscled right.
- 3:36Speaker 4: And it's that's said.
- 3:38Speaker 6: You know, he said everything was okay with bo and
- 3:40Speaker 6: then oh, by the way, he had a second surgery,
- 3:42Speaker 6: right right.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Uh.
- 3:44Speaker 6: You know, he doesn't like talking about injuries. He really
- 3:46Speaker 6: doesn't like talking about injuries in August. Uh when he
- 3:50Speaker 6: feels like he doesn't have to.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Uh.
- 3:53Speaker 6: So, you know, I'm not surprised by the tenor of
- 3:57Speaker 6: his answers. But that's said. I've I've not seen a
- 4:00Speaker 6: guy get two VET days back to back. I mean,
- 4:03Speaker 6: I've seen guys held out of team drills for consecutive
- 4:06Speaker 6: days and all of those things. But you know, I
- 4:11Speaker 6: think they feel pretty good about where they are. I
- 4:13Speaker 6: think the whole structure of the off season now, they've
- 4:18Speaker 6: done so much of the stuff and OTAs and mini
- 4:21Speaker 6: camp they would have done in the past, and the
- 4:23Speaker 6: first two weeks of training camp. So I think sometimes
- 4:27Speaker 6: we have to wrap our heads around. It's a different
- 4:30Speaker 6: calendar than it was twenty years ago, and they've adjusted,
- 4:34Speaker 6: and this is how Camp's gonna look, you know, moving forward.
- 4:38Speaker 3: The defense has kind of dominated the day the last
- 4:41Speaker 3: three practices, Which is it? I wouldn'tay. It's a far
- 4:44Speaker 3: cry from what we saw the first couple of days
- 4:45Speaker 3: when we were out here. But the offense looked better
- 4:48Speaker 3: on day one and day two. Is it simply because well,
- 4:51Speaker 3: you don't have your starting center and Courtland Sutton has
- 4:53Speaker 3: sat out to practices and then Jaalen Wattle twenty five
- 4:56Speaker 3: minutes into practice walks off on his own, like pulling
- 5:00Speaker 3: up on a route against air. Are they struggling because
- 5:03Speaker 3: they don't have three starters or is it just the
- 5:05Speaker 3: defense showing up in kind of dominating the line of scrimmage?
- 5:08Speaker 6: Well, I think all but one day to me has
- 5:11Speaker 6: been a defensive flavor. This is how Camp looks when
- 5:15Speaker 6: you're good on defense, you know, This is how the
- 5:18Speaker 6: twenty fifteen in the Peyton manning you know, a quarterback.
- 5:21Speaker 6: This is how Camp looked the defenses. This defense is
- 5:25Speaker 6: gonna win a lot of days because they're good. You know,
- 5:28Speaker 6: they're one of the league's best. If when when everybody's
- 5:31Speaker 6: healthy and on the field. So uh, you know, and
- 5:35Speaker 6: again you know all the teams I've covered that have
- 5:37Speaker 6: had really good defenses, it's this it's a slugfest in
- 5:41Speaker 6: camp and you don't have a good idea I think
- 5:45Speaker 6: sometimes of where the offense is until they simply just
- 5:48Speaker 6: play somebody else. And the rub of it this year
- 5:51Speaker 6: is they do not have a joint practice, so they
- 5:54Speaker 6: won't even get you know, a little glimpse.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Do you miss that?
- 5:58Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a good thing, but I think
- 6:01Speaker 4: for Sean, his thing is is if you have a
- 6:04Speaker 4: joint practice, you miss an installation day, and then you
- 6:08Speaker 4: miss the practice day that comes from that installation day,
- 6:12Speaker 4: so it's really a.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Two day so you don't gain more than you give up.
- 6:15Speaker 6: In his mind, this year they needed the installation day
- 6:18Speaker 6: because I think Davis Web's a first year play caller.
- 6:21Speaker 4: They they have tweaked some things in the offense, you know.
- 6:25Speaker 6: I think he just saw it as a they need
- 6:27Speaker 6: those days more right now than they need, you know,
- 6:31Speaker 6: the Packers to be in here for a day before
- 6:34Speaker 6: they play the preseason game or something.
- 6:36Speaker 5: Let's talk about d wideout's real quick because I was
- 6:38Speaker 5: reading your article that Franklin and and Bryant. You know
- 6:42Speaker 5: they got plenty of time yesterday. When you've got Sutton
- 6:45Speaker 5: and Waddle out, those guys are gonna get plenty of
- 6:47Speaker 5: snaps with the first team. I look at it, Jeff.
- 6:51Speaker 5: If you're keeping five, your five or set, there's no
- 6:53Speaker 5: there's no movement whatsoever. And I know they I see
- 6:57Speaker 5: little Jordan Hilphrey keeps turning up like a bad penny.
- 7:00Speaker 5: But when he turns back up they use him. I
- 7:02Speaker 5: mean for crying out loud. He actually gets thrown to
- 7:05Speaker 5: and he makes plays. What are we looking at there?
- 7:08Speaker 6: You're gonna need an exceptional camp in a preseason to
- 7:12Speaker 6: get them to keep six. So all these guys that
- 7:16Speaker 6: are getting noticed, you know, King Butler, Bandy Butler's Shiel,
- 7:21Speaker 6: Jordan Humphrey, I mean, they're all getting noticed, they're all
- 7:23Speaker 6: making some plays, but you're gonna need an exceptional preseason
- 7:27Speaker 6: to get them to keep six. There's just no room there. Obviously,
- 7:31Speaker 6: injury influences something. If somebody gets hurt, then the spot's open.
- 7:35Speaker 6: But with the practice squad the way it is now,
- 7:38Speaker 6: you know you can keep veterans so that you know
- 7:41Speaker 6: and little Jordan Humphrey especially has already shown he's willing
- 7:44Speaker 6: to be the veteran guy on the practice squad.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Doing very malleable doing the elevation game.
- 7:50Speaker 6: And I think they will use that to manipulate some
- 7:54Speaker 6: of the you know, how many they keep at the
- 7:58Speaker 6: fifty three cutdown may not be how it looks in
- 8:01Speaker 6: October type of thing, just because I think they're gonna
- 8:04Speaker 6: use that the movement you can have and sometimes you know,
- 8:09Speaker 6: a guy like old Jordan Humphrey, you're not gonna keep
- 8:12Speaker 6: on the cut to fifty three because that means you
- 8:14Speaker 6: guaranteed his salary, so you can you can cut them
- 8:17Speaker 6: bring him back. But you know, this time of year,
- 8:20Speaker 6: everybody asked to clear waivers, so you are kind of
- 8:22Speaker 6: risking you rolling the dice on anybody you put out there.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Jeff Legwald is brought to you by the International Brotherhood
- 8:29Speaker 3: of Electrical Workers ib W Local sixty eight. Start with
- 8:32Speaker 3: a job and end with a career. When you did
- 8:35Speaker 3: your Broncos training camp preview, you talked about three key
- 8:37Speaker 3: position battles, which was off ball linebacker, it was defensive tackle,
- 8:41Speaker 3: trying to fill in for the departure of Jonathan Franklin
- 8:44Speaker 3: Myers as well as the bulk of the running back
- 8:47Speaker 3: two carries. What have you seen with those three position battles?
- 8:52Speaker 4: The defensive tackle one maybe over it might be Osa
- 8:55Speaker 4: Rique and Onneedham are they've been front and center That
- 8:59Speaker 4: young rookie is gonna be a ballplayer. I think we
- 9:02Speaker 4: talked a.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Lot about like DJ Jones and Malcolm Roach yesterday.
- 9:05Speaker 6: But you think it's the well no, I mean they're
- 9:07Speaker 6: they're in that other rotation. But the Franklin Meyers snap,
- 9:12Speaker 6: those are five hundred snaps they have to fill. That's
- 9:14Speaker 6: how I.
- 9:15Speaker 5: Characterize soam with those are the guys that.
- 9:19Speaker 4: That to me, Yeah, they're they're in the mix.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Uh.
- 9:22Speaker 4: You know, waz Riquez had a really good can so far.
- 9:25Speaker 5: Well, when you get praise from Sean Payton, I mean.
- 9:27Speaker 6: And on Needham is that's a that's gonna end up
- 9:30Speaker 6: looking like a pretty pretty good third round pick. That
- 9:34Speaker 6: he's got length power, uh plays you know, deep into
- 9:41Speaker 6: the deep, into the down. I mean, he's he's that's
- 9:44Speaker 6: a young player who came in ready to go. So
- 9:48Speaker 6: that's a good selection, you know, I know it didn't
- 9:50Speaker 6: make people fire the confetti cannons, as I say, when
- 9:53Speaker 6: on draft Day, but that's he's gonna end up being
- 9:55Speaker 6: a nice player for.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Them right out of the gate.
- 9:58Speaker 5: I just remember our conversation like it was yesterday, because
- 10:02Speaker 5: it probably was. But we're talking about Caleb Blowner. We're
- 10:05Speaker 5: talking about the tight end room and how you know
- 10:07Speaker 5: there's a billion guys in there and so on, and
- 10:10Speaker 5: you were talking about his attributes in his thirty nine
- 10:12Speaker 5: inch first and he's six to seven already and all that,
- 10:14Speaker 5: and his teammates like.
- 10:15Speaker 2: We got to figure out a way to get this
- 10:16Speaker 2: guy out there and so on.
- 10:18Speaker 4: But it's not out there.
- 10:19Speaker 5: But then I remember the Jeff lake Wald, the Jeff Lgwald.
- 10:22Speaker 5: This is this is Jeff Lakewald commandment. You can't make
- 10:26Speaker 5: the club in the tub. And that's an absolute fact.
- 10:28Speaker 5: I mean I think that every nine a.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Guy's fault, you know, correct, correct? You know they just
- 10:33Speaker 4: can't control.
- 10:34Speaker 5: Well, Jeff, there have been plenty of guys who have
- 10:35Speaker 5: washed out of this league just because they couldn't stay healthy,
- 10:37Speaker 5: not because the team didn't want him.
- 10:39Speaker 6: Yeah know what I mean? I think what helps him
- 10:41Speaker 6: right now? I mean, ay, they kept him on the roster.
- 10:45Speaker 6: They didn't have him open camp on pup. He didn't
- 10:47Speaker 6: open camp on any of the lists, so they felt
- 10:50Speaker 6: like he was close enough to keep him on the
- 10:54Speaker 6: roster when they opened camp. Now, we haven't seen him yet,
- 10:57Speaker 6: but Sean did tell us the other day that he
- 11:01Speaker 6: had gotten their attention enough before he got that That impacts,
- 11:08Speaker 6: you know, because he was asked, are you concerned yet
- 11:10Speaker 6: that he's not on the field, and his answer was essentially, yeah,
- 11:14Speaker 6: if you're not on the field, I'm concerned. But they
- 11:18Speaker 6: his ascension was seen before he got hurt, so I
- 11:22Speaker 6: think that will impact their decision and in how they
- 11:26Speaker 6: bring him back. I think he is a real chance
- 11:30Speaker 6: to make the roster there, but you know, they may
- 11:33Speaker 6: have to that may be where the extra receiver goes
- 11:36Speaker 6: is Ultimately that roster spot may go to a tight
- 11:40Speaker 6: end as they try to keep guys who can do
- 11:43Speaker 6: a variety of things, but they need they need athleticism there.
- 11:46Speaker 6: You know, it's fine that they have guys he he
- 11:50Speaker 6: thinks are smart and and do all the right things.
- 11:54Speaker 6: And it is from an assignment standpoint, it's one of
- 11:57Speaker 6: the most difficult positions to play and Hayten's offense because
- 12:02Speaker 6: you have all of the past protections. You have all
- 12:05Speaker 6: of the run fits and you have all your routes,
- 12:09Speaker 6: so you get like the whole package. Like receivers don't
- 12:13Speaker 6: have to worry about the protection fronts right and knowing
- 12:18Speaker 6: Bo's checks to get in and out of those and
- 12:20Speaker 6: all the you know, tight ends have to know all
- 12:23Speaker 6: of it. So it's really hard for a guy like
- 12:25Speaker 6: Jolly the rookie to get all that in your head
- 12:29Speaker 6: enough to show them, Okay, you can play on the
- 12:32Speaker 6: week one, but they need Jolie's athleticism. They need loaners athleticism.
- 12:37Speaker 6: They need athleticism that at that spot. Because Ingram Ingram
- 12:41Speaker 6: has shown he's still got some run skills, and some
- 12:45Speaker 6: of the defenders have told me that's a tougher matchup
- 12:49Speaker 6: than people give it credit for. He's still a good mover.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Hopefully continue to utilize them more than they did last season.
- 12:56Speaker 4: Say what you know, fifty catches is a lot, but
- 12:58Speaker 4: we I think you're impact correct.
- 13:01Speaker 2: That is correct.
- 13:02Speaker 4: If he had forty.
- 13:03Speaker 6: Catches and and twenty were far more impacted, it's exactly
- 13:07Speaker 6: better year. But uh, Davis Webb has already shown he's
- 13:11Speaker 6: a lot more about things between the numbers than they've
- 13:15Speaker 6: run in the past. I'm sure Sewn has called it,
- 13:18Speaker 6: but I think that's the hurdle they're trying to get
- 13:20Speaker 6: bow Nicks over is there's a whole section of the
- 13:23Speaker 6: field you're not using to the max and and they
- 13:26Speaker 6: need to do that.
- 13:28Speaker 5: It's funny because I'll look at the tight end grouping
- 13:30Speaker 5: right and I'm thinking, Okay, you add Loder into that too.
- 13:32Speaker 5: He'd be easy to spot because he's so tall. But
- 13:34Speaker 5: you throw the fullback in and just like that's a
- 13:37Speaker 5: lot of dudes.
- 13:37Speaker 2: There's just a bunch. There's just a bunch of dudes
- 13:40Speaker 2: in groups like a little pack.
- 13:42Speaker 6: This is a team where you know they're gonna be
- 13:44Speaker 6: putting guys out there that other people grab yause you
- 13:47Speaker 6: know they have a lot better backups than some teams
- 13:50Speaker 6: have in the front line.
- 13:52Speaker 3: All right, talk to me about the rookie in Jonah Coleman.
- 13:54Speaker 3: What have you seen out of him?
- 13:55Speaker 6: And champas he's gonna play yeah, yeah, no, he's he's
- 13:59Speaker 6: physic a goal uh, quick to the whole, very decisive.
- 14:03Speaker 4: I think that's the one thing he's not you know that.
- 14:07Speaker 6: I think Juliel and Tyler Bidet are probably battling it
- 14:10Speaker 6: out for that last the fourth running You know, they
- 14:13Speaker 6: can always keep five backs, but that hasn't happened very often.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Well, especially if you're talking about keeping an extra roster
- 14:19Speaker 3: spot for a guy like Loner.
- 14:20Speaker 6: Well, I mean that you know there's gonna be some
- 14:23Speaker 6: extra roster spots come in and and you know somebody
- 14:26Speaker 6: gets hurt in the preseason and it's a three week injury.
- 14:28Speaker 6: That's also the kind of thing that influences. But Coleman
- 14:32Speaker 6: is in the mix, and we haven't even seen some
- 14:36Speaker 6: of his best. Like in past protection. I went back
- 14:39Speaker 6: and before the draft and looked at all those snaps
- 14:42Speaker 6: and uh, he doesn't just get in the way. He's
- 14:45Speaker 6: he's looking to clean people a.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Little bowling ball. That's good.
- 14:48Speaker 4: He's a tough guy in pass protection.
- 14:50Speaker 6: And that is every running back coach I hain't known,
- 14:54Speaker 6: from Bobby Turner to Eric Stutisville to to all these
- 14:58Speaker 6: guys who've helped me through the years dissect that position.
- 15:02Speaker 6: Every single one of them will tell you what gets
- 15:05Speaker 6: a rookie on the field the fastest pass protection.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Can we expect to see that on Saturday during the
- 15:10Speaker 3: controlled scrimmage.
- 15:11Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not sure how deep they'll get into the
- 15:13Speaker 6: you know, how much impact they're gonna play. I think
- 15:16Speaker 6: they would play with what they call thud speed, which
- 15:18Speaker 6: is you impact the runner, but you do not take
- 15:22Speaker 6: them to the ground.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Someone got taken to the ground yesterday.
- 15:25Speaker 5: Well, if somebody's on the ground at this camp, do
- 15:28Speaker 5: that it's they got.
- 15:30Speaker 6: They got a lecture after I think it was I
- 15:34Speaker 6: forget who rolled into bow Malcolm Roach. Malcolm Roach rolled
- 15:37Speaker 6: in the bowl and uh, they got a little lecture
- 15:40Speaker 6: after that.
- 15:40Speaker 5: If somebody's on the ground, I mean somebody.
- 15:43Speaker 6: And honestly that's you know, teams, I don't. I don't
- 15:47Speaker 6: think it's just not structured anymore where you can tackle
- 15:51Speaker 6: people of the ground. If you lose your three plus
- 15:54Speaker 6: best players because you tackle to the ground, you want
- 15:56Speaker 6: to show a tough yewer in tamp uh. You go
- 15:59Speaker 6: from a twelve win team to a seven win team
- 16:02Speaker 6: pretty fast.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Hey, I'm not don't take this the wrong way.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Why because you don't, because because you knowever you wind
- 16:09Speaker 4: up for this.
- 16:10Speaker 5: Pitch, Well, I'm gonna use your own words against you.
- 16:12Speaker 5: You don't look at day over sixty. You've been doing
- 16:14Speaker 5: this for forty years now. But Jeff Way, I'm over six.
- 16:19Speaker 5: You look great, correct me if I'm wrong. Though, there
- 16:21Speaker 5: used to be a lot more surprises in a training camp.
- 16:24Speaker 4: Right, well, this team isn't built for no.
- 16:26Speaker 2: No, not not at all, So so might that's in.
- 16:27Speaker 4: The fact you have a you have a head coach.
- 16:30Speaker 4: On the list of things he wants no surprise surprises
- 16:33Speaker 4: is way down at the bottom a hundred percent. Right
- 16:36Speaker 4: after questions.
- 16:37Speaker 6: From Leggy and Andy Lindall, more questions from Leggy, Yeah, no,
- 16:43Speaker 6: this is this team is built for Uh, there's not
- 16:46Speaker 6: a lot of room for new faces and that's not
- 16:49Speaker 6: built for surprise.
- 16:50Speaker 5: So that with your football mind in today's modern Broncos
- 16:53Speaker 5: training camp, do you look for I mean, do you
- 16:56Speaker 5: lower your expectations and then look for little things that
- 16:59Speaker 5: intrigue you, little prizes to kind of keep that football
- 17:02Speaker 5: brain stimulated.
- 17:03Speaker 6: Well that you know, the spot where young guys are
- 17:06Speaker 6: going to make the team is inside linebacker. I think
- 17:09Speaker 6: you're gonna see two backups who are young. Oh, he's
- 17:13Speaker 6: having a good game, Murdoch, and I'm gonna be really
- 17:17Speaker 6: surprised if he doesn't knock the ball out in in
- 17:21Speaker 6: the preseason because that's just his that's in his DNA apparently,
- 17:25Speaker 6: because when I was looking at him before the draft,
- 17:28Speaker 6: I felt like, you know, now it's buffalo. You ever
- 17:31Speaker 6: see a Buffalo against a lot of guys who aren't
- 17:33Speaker 6: in the league. But it doesn't matter. If you get
- 17:35Speaker 6: the ball out, you get the ball out. I don't
- 17:37Speaker 6: care who you're playing. And I felt like every third
- 17:40Speaker 6: snap when I watched him, the ball was out. So
- 17:44Speaker 6: he does something. You know, he's got that little thing
- 17:47Speaker 6: whatever it is, that when he impacts people that the
- 17:51Speaker 6: ball comes out. And I think if he does that
- 17:54Speaker 6: once or twice, but he's been he's been moving up steadily.
- 17:58Speaker 6: I think, you know Ellen's you're took second team ramps quarterback.
- 18:02Speaker 5: And I saw I saw fifty out here doing I
- 18:04Speaker 5: mean I saw him doing his.
- 18:05Speaker 4: He Murnoch's taking second team reps.
- 18:08Speaker 6: So they're in the mid I think the back up
- 18:11Speaker 6: inside linebackers, they want to see somebody step forward in that.
- 18:16Speaker 2: And thenanders got to stay in the field.
- 18:18Speaker 6: They need a backup for safety that's gotta find a
- 18:22Speaker 6: way to get in the mix. You know, Devin Key
- 18:23Speaker 6: is going to be the third safety and he's one
- 18:25Speaker 6: of their best special teams in an All Pro Special
- 18:27Speaker 6: Teams player last year, so uh, they but they need
- 18:31Speaker 6: a fourth guy. Those are the things you're looking at.
- 18:34Speaker 6: And you know, I always I tell people don't pay
- 18:37Speaker 6: attention to long passes and seven on.
- 18:40Speaker 4: So those don't mean anything. And I know people go
- 18:42Speaker 4: crazy and they.
- 18:43Speaker 6: Love to see They just want to see some action,
- 18:46Speaker 6: you know. They don't want to see guys going through
- 18:48Speaker 6: individual drills working on technique. You know, I get it,
- 18:51Speaker 6: But uh, look at rotations. You want to understand what's
- 18:55Speaker 6: going on with the team. Look at the parts of
- 18:57Speaker 6: practice no one else pays attention to. That's they're really
- 19:00Speaker 6: shown you the rotations.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that yesterday. I'm like, so I'm excited.
- 19:05Speaker 2: You know.
- 19:06Speaker 6: He uh sean poop poo the Ellinger snaps after practice yesterday.
- 19:11Speaker 6: But I will tell you those were real second team snaps.
- 19:15Speaker 6: Those weren't hey, we're rotating guys your day. Yeah No,
- 19:20Speaker 6: those were the real second team snaps that he don't
- 19:24Speaker 6: start downing, Yeah, don't start counting.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Uh.
- 19:28Speaker 4: I wish I had a dollar for every time he
- 19:29Speaker 4: told me.
- 19:30Speaker 5: You have to be someplace. Can you can you hang
- 19:32Speaker 5: on just for a little bit more?
- 19:33Speaker 2: Do you have to go, so I gotta go to practice.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Do you stand over there in the sun yet you're
- 19:37Speaker 2: not even doing anything? I got.
- 19:39Speaker 7: I just doesn't count until I want. You can't tempt
- 19:41Speaker 7: my stay. You can't tempt my tummy with the taste
- 19:44Speaker 7: oft of honey when it comes to that quarterback, because well,
- 19:48Speaker 7: thank you appreciate. Is that all it takes? Yeah, then
- 19:51Speaker 7: I'm in.
- 19:51Speaker 5: Yeah, rog will take us a break, but I uh,
- 19:54Speaker 5: I got, I got this thought about about what I
- 19:57Speaker 5: saw out of the former Texas quarterback.
- 19:59Speaker 8: Okay, go anywhere, like trust your thoughts more though, Leggy
- 20:02Speaker 8: hangs on with us. On the other side of the break,
- 20:04Speaker 8: it's Broncos training camp on Altitude Sports Radio ninety two five.

- 20:22Speaker 5: So lazy, the guys are so Jeff, can you believe
- 20:24Speaker 5: these kids are?
- 20:27Speaker 4: I take it personal, Bratt, I take it no doubt.
- 20:30Speaker 3: That's Mark Mojer, that's Jeff, by the way, the people
- 20:33Speaker 3: on the text message, because you did throw Leggie under
- 20:36Speaker 3: the bus one days saying that Leggie would be out
- 20:37Speaker 3: here in flops and I thought that was preposterous. Uh,
- 20:40Speaker 3: he has his pig, he's covered, and you still have
- 20:42Speaker 3: those things screaming. I'm a disgusting professional professional discuss seen
- 20:50Speaker 3: never seen somebody that flops.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Who's the guy that moved. Who's the guy that moved
- 20:54Speaker 2: to Italy? What was his name? Guy from the post?
- 20:57Speaker 2: What was his name? Like?
- 21:02Speaker 5: Yeah, Hey, I'm glad you stayed. Though I appreciate your
- 21:05Speaker 5: time very much. I know it's valuable. But it beats
- 21:07Speaker 5: it beats Stanton though. It beats standing on that concrete
- 21:10Speaker 5: slab on his sun.
- 21:11Speaker 4: That's my spot. Okay, we let's talk my spots, like
- 21:14Speaker 4: halfway down in between the fields.
- 21:16Speaker 5: That's always he always picks the spot and gets his perimeter.
- 21:19Speaker 4: Everybody stays away.
- 21:20Speaker 3: There's a piece of astro turf that he stands on
- 21:23Speaker 3: gets picked up every day.
- 21:24Speaker 6: I stand there and everybody gives me my little clearance
- 21:27Speaker 6: because I'm I'm a paint in the painting loss in camp.
- 21:30Speaker 5: That's that's why you're so good. But uh, let's talk
- 21:33Speaker 5: about these quarterbacks. And I watch I first saw him.
- 21:36Speaker 5: I went down to the stupid Alamo Bowl in twenty twenty,
- 21:39Speaker 5: right or was it twenty twenty. I guess the way
- 21:40Speaker 5: they played the Buffs at twenty twenty. Uh, And so
- 21:44Speaker 5: saw Ellier there and he beat the snot out of
- 21:46Speaker 5: the Buffs, and then the backup kid came in and
- 21:48Speaker 5: so on and so forth. So I followed him around
- 21:50Speaker 5: a little bit. But when I watch him in this camp,
- 21:52Speaker 5: and now he's twenty seven years old, he's more mature.
- 21:55Speaker 5: He's been around now, right, he's he's had a job
- 21:57Speaker 5: in this league. But when I hear Sean Payton talk
- 22:00Speaker 5: about him, and then I see what I see out there,
- 22:03Speaker 5: it's not a lie that Peyton likes what he sees
- 22:05Speaker 5: out of the guy and the ability to get out
- 22:06Speaker 5: of the pocket and do all these different things. And
- 22:09Speaker 5: to me, he looks more like Bo Knicks does than
- 22:12Speaker 5: Jared Stidham does. I mean they play more of a
- 22:14Speaker 5: similar style of quarterback. How do you feel about it?
- 22:17Speaker 6: Well, I mean he you know, whatever the team says
- 22:21Speaker 6: in public that you know, this guy turned down an
- 22:26Speaker 6: active roster spot last year to stay here on the
- 22:29Speaker 6: practice squad and then he re signed here.
- 22:32Speaker 4: In the off season.
- 22:33Speaker 6: So while Sean and everyone else can say we didn't
- 22:37Speaker 6: say anything to him, I am skeptical because the information
- 22:43Speaker 6: we have is that he was very intent on staying
- 22:47Speaker 6: here and I think he believed.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Is that a, hey, why don't you stick around?
- 22:52Speaker 3: No?
- 22:52Speaker 6: I mean, I think they have made it very clear
- 22:55Speaker 6: that they like him, and he thinks enough and I
- 22:59Speaker 6: you know, he's you know, boas the absolute unquestioned starter.
- 23:05Speaker 6: But if you're taking most consistent play at quarterback in camp, granted,
- 23:11Speaker 6: he spent threes on threes most of the time, and
- 23:15Speaker 6: he should dominate that. Ellinger, he should dominate threes on
- 23:19Speaker 6: threes and he has and you know, yesterday moved up
- 23:23Speaker 6: to the twos. And I think there's a good chance
- 23:25Speaker 6: he's the backup quarterback when the season starts. And uh,
- 23:31Speaker 6: you know, one of the hints Seawn offered was the
- 23:34Speaker 6: ball moves, which means, in Shawn's world, Ellinger gets completions
- 23:41Speaker 6: in practice, doesn't waste downs, doesn't chuck it down the field,
- 23:44Speaker 6: doesn't throw it away, gets completions.
- 23:46Speaker 4: The ball moves. That's what he's stopping about, right, The
- 23:49Speaker 4: ball's moving and it has.
- 23:51Speaker 6: And you know, I think he's made the most of
- 23:54Speaker 6: every snap he's I don't think he's had I'm not
- 23:57Speaker 6: sure I've chartered a bad throw from him yet good
- 24:00Speaker 6: there wasn't a.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Ball in the ground yesterday from him.
- 24:02Speaker 4: With the rest again he's doing with Peyton.
- 24:04Speaker 6: Manning always used to tell young quarterbacks when I would
- 24:07Speaker 6: watch Peyton talk to you, get completions.
- 24:10Speaker 4: You know, it's all well and good to fire it
- 24:12Speaker 4: downfield after your first read, but get completions, and you
- 24:18Speaker 4: know he Ellinger has done that. That's a veteran. That's
- 24:22Speaker 4: the kind of guy you want it back up.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Isn't it. It's funny you think of Sam Ellinger as
- 24:26Speaker 3: like a twenty three year old star.
- 24:31Speaker 2: No offense to Jared Stidha, who's twenty nine and Jared.
- 24:34Speaker 2: You know, Sean loves and that's why time Jared.
- 24:37Speaker 4: Has made a living off tearing up a preseason game
- 24:42Speaker 4: to make that the video they look at when they're
- 24:45Speaker 4: when they're trying to make decisions. But uh, he's got
- 24:49Speaker 4: a he's got a fight on his hands.
- 24:51Speaker 2: You know.
- 24:51Speaker 4: This year, I think Ellinger's come here ready to ready
- 24:54Speaker 4: to rock. I mean, it's and I think they'll still
- 24:56Speaker 4: keep free. I'm I'm still in the mode where I'll
- 25:00Speaker 4: be surprised if they don't keep all three.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Uh.
- 25:03Speaker 4: But Stidham does have a very very big cap figure.
- 25:06Speaker 4: It's one of the biggest on offense outside of the
- 25:09Speaker 4: offensive lineman.
- 25:10Speaker 3: If they caught him, it'd be like a three and
- 25:11Speaker 3: a half million dollar cap, say five him. Well, that's
- 25:16Speaker 3: they don't need that room right now. They're they're pretty good.
- 25:19Speaker 3: But I'm just saying that's that's a pretty big cap figure.
- 25:23Speaker 3: If the guy is the number.
- 25:24Speaker 5: Three, that's that's just interesting to me. And again I
- 25:29Speaker 5: this is but.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Again, he's made a living out of for sure, throwing
- 25:32Speaker 6: for two eighty and a half.
- 25:33Speaker 5: You know, yeah in the preseason, but this is modern NFL, man,
- 25:37Speaker 5: and you just you can't be sentimental. And if you need,
- 25:40Speaker 5: like you said, if you need that five mil, you
- 25:42Speaker 5: need that five mil. And maybe one guy's not better
- 25:46Speaker 5: than the other guy, but but you're gonna be able
- 25:47Speaker 5: to save that. Bred mean, we're talking about the backup
- 25:49Speaker 5: quarterback anyway. But I just I that's one of the things.
- 25:52Speaker 5: I guess where I'm looking deeper if I can to
- 25:54Speaker 5: find something interesting to talk about rather than guys running
- 25:57Speaker 5: around the underwear.
- 25:58Speaker 3: The backup quarterback mattered last in the most important time
- 26:01Speaker 3: of that's true.
- 26:02Speaker 2: That's true.
- 26:03Speaker 6: It always matters this day and age. It's rare for
- 26:06Speaker 6: a guy to run the table anymore. Front to back
- 26:09Speaker 6: is too hard to too hard to.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Survive, too hard to stay upright.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Speaking of the starter, what have you seen out of
- 26:15Speaker 3: bow Nix in terms of progression from year two to
- 26:17Speaker 3: year three? How do you think the ankle looks. It's
- 26:20Speaker 3: very clear. Like on the short side of the practice
- 26:23Speaker 3: field on UH on team run yesterday, he was doing
- 26:27Speaker 3: little like ten yard sprints by himself. He's he's testing
- 26:29Speaker 3: it out.
- 26:30Speaker 4: No, he still has a rehab process. He's going through that.
- 26:34Speaker 6: You can see there's a trainer right next to him
- 26:36Speaker 6: when he's doing that. So they're they're gauging as stride
- 26:39Speaker 6: and making sure he's not compensating. And because that's how
- 26:43Speaker 6: you injury your other leg is when you're coming back
- 26:46Speaker 6: from an injury and you you're not running you know balanced,
- 26:52Speaker 6: you know, you're leaning on one side or the other.
- 26:54Speaker 6: So that's that's what they're checking. They're making sure he's
- 26:57Speaker 6: maintaining his his recovery. Uh, he's look good, you know,
- 27:02Speaker 6: I think I think he has a good relationship with
- 27:04Speaker 6: Davis Webb. You know, we haven't seen all of the things.
- 27:08Speaker 6: You know, the stuff they do in the night walkthroughs
- 27:10Speaker 6: is the real offensive tweets. We haven't seen many of them.
- 27:14Speaker 6: I've seen a few that I've noticed. Uh, but the
- 27:19Speaker 6: bulk of the real tweaks, the new stuff is they're
- 27:23Speaker 6: putting that in and we'll see we'll see that.
- 27:25Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see in September. Yeah, that's that they keep
- 27:28Speaker 4: that under the under the hood.
- 27:30Speaker 5: Read all your stuff of course all the time. Can't
- 27:32Speaker 5: get can't get through the week without getting my leg
- 27:34Speaker 5: wall fixed.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Uh. He's thirty six years old.
- 27:38Speaker 5: He's just hanging out out there right now, coming off injury.
- 27:42Speaker 5: What's the story with Hill? What is the story with
- 27:44Speaker 5: Taysom Hill? And if if two can move to the
- 27:47Speaker 5: number two spotted quarterback, is it possible this guy could
- 27:50Speaker 5: be an emergency three and actually still help a football
- 27:53Speaker 5: team at the age of thirty six.
- 27:54Speaker 6: You know, very limited last year, right, you know, he
- 27:57Speaker 6: had you know, I think one hundred yard receiving a
- 28:02Speaker 6: smattering of carrius and I think he threw one touchdown
- 28:05Speaker 6: pass last year and he missed some games. He started
- 28:08Speaker 6: the year on pup because of a knee injury from
- 28:10Speaker 6: the year before twenty three.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Is this just silly talker?
- 28:15Speaker 1: Is no?
- 28:15Speaker 6: I mean you can never dismiss guys who played for
- 28:18Speaker 6: Shawn in New Orleans because that that once you're one
- 28:21Speaker 6: of his guys. I mean we've seen it on this team.
- 28:23Speaker 4: Well, if Troutman's one of his guys, Little Jordan Humphreys
- 28:27Speaker 4: one of his guys.
- 28:28Speaker 6: I mean, if you if you have shown him certain things,
- 28:34Speaker 6: he will he will. Now you know, thirty six is
- 28:37Speaker 6: a different age. He's got a lot of wear and tear.
- 28:41Speaker 6: Taysom Hill does. But uh, Shawn's leaving tomorrow night for
- 28:47Speaker 6: Canton to be part of Drew Brees's enshrinement ceremony festivities,
- 28:54Speaker 6: and Taysom Hill and a lot of other former Saints
- 28:57Speaker 6: are going to be there. So Seawan is going to
- 28:59Speaker 6: talk to Taysom Hill there and he'll first try to
- 29:03Speaker 6: gauge are you even interested in playing? The one advantage
- 29:06Speaker 6: that Broncos have is their team physician did the surgery
- 29:10Speaker 6: for Taysom Hill and twenty twenty three, so they are
- 29:14Speaker 6: twenty twenty four rather, so they know what his recovery's
- 29:18Speaker 6: like because he's Taysom Hill has been here in Denver
- 29:21Speaker 6: for follow up visits with.
- 29:23Speaker 2: The probably Jackson got him with his former coach. That
- 29:26Speaker 2: says hi and all that kind of thing.
- 29:27Speaker 6: Well, I mean he's he's been here to visit their
- 29:30Speaker 6: team physician, okay, for the follow up, so they know
- 29:33Speaker 6: how his recovery's going.
- 29:34Speaker 4: They know all that.
- 29:35Speaker 2: But no hipposucker, no hippa. It's out there for everybody.
- 29:38Speaker 3: When it comes to Sean Payton, Guys, he's got Willie
- 29:42Speaker 3: Snead out here working with the wide receivers. Have you
- 29:45Speaker 3: spoken to the coaching staff to Sneed or any of
- 29:47Speaker 3: the wide outs about his impact in camp thus far?
- 29:51Speaker 6: He's just starting his coaching career, so I think he's
- 29:53Speaker 6: probably in a lot more of an analytical type data
- 29:59Speaker 6: going through the film, practice, film and all those things.
- 30:02Speaker 6: So but you know he you know, any player who
- 30:04Speaker 6: can offer perspective on this route in this playbook, these
- 30:10Speaker 6: are the decisions you need to make. That's always gonna help.
- 30:14Speaker 6: So he can offer perspective there. But when guys are
- 30:18Speaker 6: just getting going in their coaching career, it's it's a
- 30:20Speaker 6: lot coming at him in there. In the first camp.
- 30:23Speaker 3: Sean says, nothing to see here for Jalen Wattle, who
- 30:26Speaker 3: right here on about the fifteen yard line pulled off
- 30:29Speaker 3: of a ball that was overthrown. He said like two
- 30:31Speaker 3: words to somebody with a water bottle and then walked
- 30:34Speaker 3: off the field. Didn't say anything to anybody else. Uh,
- 30:37Speaker 3: Sean said, is don't be concerned. We think it's a
- 30:40Speaker 3: muscle issue. But he always says that how concerned would you?
- 30:43Speaker 3: Guy could have a meteor hit him, movin he'd be
- 30:46Speaker 3: a great hockey coach. Yeah, yeah, doesn't want to give
- 30:49Speaker 3: anything there.
- 30:50Speaker 6: When I was covering hockey or I would help in
- 30:53Speaker 6: the playoffs, I've never not covered football, but when I
- 30:56Speaker 6: would help in the playoffs, my theory always was that, uh,
- 31:00Speaker 6: whenever they discussed injuries in the playoffs, he went diagonal,
- 31:04Speaker 6: Like if they said it's right upper body, it was
- 31:07Speaker 6: the left leg. I always went diagonal, and you know,
- 31:11Speaker 6: about seventy percent of the time it turned out to
- 31:14Speaker 6: be right. You're right about that, Like, so you use
- 31:16Speaker 6: that later, I will just go diagonal.
- 31:18Speaker 5: And I don't think you're gonna be saying full leg
- 31:20Speaker 5: balled full credit. I was telling Ross this morning early.
- 31:22Speaker 5: I'm like, let's see, you've got a third string linebacker.
- 31:25Speaker 5: And you say, coach, what about Smith? You know, I
- 31:28Speaker 5: you know he's being valued. What He's gonna be fine? Yeah,
- 31:30Speaker 5: But but coach, his leg from the knee down is
- 31:33Speaker 5: in the end zone and he's over on the forty
- 31:35Speaker 5: and they had to put his leg on a gator
- 31:36Speaker 5: and take it to the table.
- 31:37Speaker 2: He'll be fine, It's a risk. Yeah.
- 31:40Speaker 6: The all timer was when Josh was here, McDaniels was here,
- 31:43Speaker 6: and he tried to break the rules and institute upper
- 31:48Speaker 6: body lower body designation for injuries.
- 31:50Speaker 4: You can't do that.
- 31:51Speaker 6: The league has a very specific policy about injuries because
- 31:55Speaker 6: they don't want the gambling to to may affect. But
- 31:59Speaker 6: so there in a game at the stadium, Orton gets
- 32:03Speaker 6: his hands smashed. It's bleeding, and they tell us in
- 32:08Speaker 6: the press box upper body injury, and that the next
- 32:13Speaker 6: second Orton is standing behind the bench holding his hand up,
- 32:18Speaker 6: blood running down his arm. At the second they said
- 32:22Speaker 6: upper body injury, Orton is standing like showing the coaches
- 32:27Speaker 6: in the press box that, like the other coaches were
- 32:30Speaker 6: up in the box, he's showing them that blood's running
- 32:33Speaker 6: down his arm.
- 32:34Speaker 4: So it's the funniest thing. That was the last time
- 32:36Speaker 4: they did upper upper and.
- 32:37Speaker 5: Upper more body. Well, in the NHL, you still get
- 32:39Speaker 5: away with it. Go diagonal, don't diagonal. I did it
- 32:44Speaker 5: minor league. Even John ben Boxmere accused.
- 32:47Speaker 6: Me of of being in the training room when I
- 32:50Speaker 6: did it to him, and uh, how do you know?
- 32:52Speaker 4: How do you know this Rochester America?
- 32:55Speaker 6: The things he said upper body, I said, so it's
- 32:58Speaker 6: his ankle and he took me to the double tape.
- 33:01Speaker 8: That's awesome, Leggy, thanks for hanging out with us for

- 34:04Speaker 5: let me help you out here? How you doing, Jesse?
- 34:05Speaker 5: I'm good, Jesse, Truillo, everybody aka Alfonso. We were just
- 34:10Speaker 5: having a conversation Raj about a great show that we
- 34:13Speaker 5: both saw together, not together, but we were both there.
- 34:16Speaker 5: It was Earth Wind and Fire followed by Lionel Richie
- 34:19Speaker 5: last Friday at Ball Arena.
- 34:20Speaker 3: That cool concert.
- 34:22Speaker 2: Yeah, our friends, and it was killer. Did you like it?
- 34:27Speaker 2: I did? Yeah?
- 34:28Speaker 5: I mean Lionel's getting up there a little bit, but
- 34:30Speaker 5: he still brought it, did he not? He's helping him
- 34:31Speaker 5: puffing on his oxygen thing like like Billy Joel did.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Why are you saying I don't get it?
- 34:37Speaker 5: Because I'm showing Jesse my perspective in the It was,
- 34:40Speaker 5: It's just so good, isn't it? But what does that
- 34:45Speaker 5: have to do because you don't know Earth, bro, you
- 34:47Speaker 5: don't know and you don't know nothing about her.
- 34:48Speaker 3: No Earth, everybody on the planet. No September.
- 34:51Speaker 5: Well, okay, well they've have so many How many great
- 34:53Speaker 5: songs do they have?
- 34:54Speaker 2: Jesse? You can hit after a hit, after a hit,
- 34:58Speaker 2: after a hit after hit, and of course when not
- 35:00Speaker 2: three knock them.
- 35:02Speaker 5: Yeah, when Ron comes out and says, you know, and Denver,
- 35:05Speaker 5: Colorado's own Philip Bailey, and the crowd goes insane because
- 35:08Speaker 5: Phil went to the East and it was buddies with Theory,
- 35:11Speaker 5: the late great Theory Smith and man, it's just they
- 35:14Speaker 5: were God, I wish Theory was still here. He would
- 35:17Speaker 5: he would be happy that they're still killing it the
- 35:18Speaker 5: way they are, because Earth is still killing at Verdean White,
- 35:23Speaker 5: one of my favorite bass players of all time, Jesse
- 35:26Speaker 5: did he not bring it?
- 35:27Speaker 2: He's seventy five years old. Yeah, he brought it. You're
- 35:30Speaker 2: damn right, he brought it. My brother was really good
- 35:32Speaker 2: too when he was with her through the yeah fire.
- 35:33Speaker 5: These guys are just legends, man, and that's what we
- 35:36Speaker 5: were talking about. So why don't you get caught up
- 35:38Speaker 5: on some good stuff in your life? Okay it's like no,
- 35:43Speaker 5: Roger is like this. Oh you know what, My life
- 35:45Speaker 5: is too good. I got too much good stuff in
- 35:46Speaker 5: my life. I don't have time to learn about Earth.
- 35:49Speaker 2: I don't understand anything that you said.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Camp out here.
- 35:52Speaker 5: Okay, Well you're not seeing anything. They're gonna be in
- 35:55Speaker 5: not even me.
- 35:55Speaker 3: I'm not seeing anything. I'm watching people warm up. They're
- 35:57Speaker 3: on pads on today.
- 35:58Speaker 5: But some little little shells and running shorts around spiders
- 36:03Speaker 5: at the very most. And I will say this, so
- 36:06Speaker 5: it was good to see Nick Benito out there yesterday
- 36:08Speaker 5: walking around. He had his jersey on and his his sweatpants.
- 36:11Speaker 5: But you know, I mean, he's out walking around fine,
- 36:13Speaker 5: there's no boot, there's no nothing. He's totally good. Cortland
- 36:16Speaker 5: was throwing the ball around and he looks absolutely fine.
- 36:19Speaker 5: I have no reason to believe that it's not just
- 36:21Speaker 5: a couple of vet days in a row, none at all.
- 36:24Speaker 5: And I have no reason to believe that Jalen Wattle
- 36:26Speaker 5: just didn't have some tightness and he pulled himself off
- 36:28Speaker 5: as to not cause any further damage.
- 36:29Speaker 3: I am trying to find Jalen Wattle on the field now. Again,
- 36:33Speaker 3: the whole team is not out here yet. They're filtering
- 36:36Speaker 3: out from the locker room. We're expected to see Courtland
- 36:40Speaker 3: Sutton perform at practice today. I don't know what that
- 36:44Speaker 3: actually means for the wide receivers on a day where
- 36:45Speaker 3: you're not it's gonna be an easy day.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Right, easy days, easy, pasy, lemon, squeezy.
- 36:50Speaker 3: You're kind of resetting after three straight days of practice.
- 36:52Speaker 3: But someton's gonna be out here. I'm hoping we see
- 36:56Speaker 3: Jalen Wattle back out here. I see Marvin Mims and
- 36:58Speaker 3: RG Harvey walking around.
- 37:01Speaker 2: Now.
- 37:01Speaker 3: Could this be like an off day for JK. Dobbins.
- 37:04Speaker 3: I would hope that he gets one. We haven't seen
- 37:06Speaker 3: veteran day from uh from Dobbins.
- 37:08Speaker 5: Well, look at with the scrimmage coming up on Saturday,
- 37:11Speaker 5: you're you're gonna these next couple of days. I wouldn't
- 37:13Speaker 5: be surprised if tomorrow isn't just a kind of an
- 37:15Speaker 5: easy day as well. That that's not to say you
- 37:17Speaker 5: don't get your work in but you're you're it's not
- 37:20Speaker 5: gonna be a lot of stuff.
- 37:21Speaker 2: It's gonna be quick.
- 37:22Speaker 5: It's gonna be over within a jiffy, and then you're
- 37:24Speaker 5: gonna be you know, you're gonna be looking at film
- 37:27Speaker 5: and having some lunch in that sort of thing. So
- 37:29Speaker 5: it's yeah, today's sort of a just a chill, chill
- 37:32Speaker 5: day out here at Dove Allley.
- 37:33Speaker 3: Really interesting takes from Jeff Legwald.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Right.
- 37:36Speaker 3: The the most interesting thing that we heard from Sean
- 37:39Speaker 3: Payton yesterday and is his press or. Wasn't the comment about, hey,
- 37:43Speaker 3: Jayalen Wattle is gonna be fine. Wasn't the comment about
- 37:45Speaker 3: it was just two days for courtland Ston, he'll be
- 37:48Speaker 3: out there tomorrow. The comment was made on him being
- 37:51Speaker 3: like a little prickly about the sam Ellingers situation. Right,
- 37:55Speaker 3: and leg you's sitting here saying listen, I know that
- 37:58Speaker 3: they have gone back and forth with who's got the
- 38:00Speaker 3: two reps, but those were legit and he has looked
- 38:03Speaker 3: markedly better than Stidham has in his two reps thus
- 38:06Speaker 3: far in camp. I think sam Ellinger is the backup here.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Very well could be. He very well could be.
- 38:13Speaker 5: Look Sean Payton, I mean, he'll praise guys, but it's
- 38:16Speaker 5: also like manhole covers, you know. He went on about
- 38:20Speaker 5: how Sam has looked, and he I liked how he
- 38:22Speaker 5: called it the spaghetti sauce, right. I mean, you can
- 38:24Speaker 5: talk about the arm, but it's the other things.
- 38:26Speaker 2: That he does.
- 38:28Speaker 5: It's the ability to I mean, this is what coaches love,
- 38:31Speaker 5: luv love. You move the ball down the field, the
- 38:35Speaker 5: ball moves and you keep going. Right, His ability to
- 38:39Speaker 5: bounce out of the pocket and make things happen, the
- 38:41Speaker 5: way his brain works. He's not a baby anymore. He's
- 38:43Speaker 5: twenty seven years old, about to be twenty eight. And
- 38:47Speaker 5: this guy has been around now, and so look, I
- 38:50Speaker 5: just think it's it's interesting that that, you know, he
- 38:55Speaker 5: had a sure roster spot, but he stayed around here
- 38:58Speaker 5: to be able perhaps to get this out opportunity this year.
- 39:01Speaker 4: And I'd sa something that our sauce needed.
- 39:03Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. And I give the wink hey wants to
- 39:05Speaker 5: stick around. I give the wink to Legaies. I think
- 39:07Speaker 5: it's more than that he goes. I think that this
- 39:08Speaker 5: guy has a legit shot to be the number two
- 39:12Speaker 5: guy behind Bonix.
- 39:13Speaker 3: It's not just Kawhi doing work for a spire.
- 39:15Speaker 5: Right exactly exactly. No, this guy, Uh, this guy's got
- 39:19Speaker 5: a legit shot. And I think that Peyton likes what
- 39:21Speaker 5: he sees. And again, I think his game matches what
- 39:23Speaker 5: Knicks does more than Jared Stidham's game does.
- 39:26Speaker 3: I mean we've seen it. I think I see seventeen
- 39:29Speaker 3: walking out with his helmet in his left hand right there, Jesse,
- 39:33Speaker 3: is that that's Courtland? Then he looks too small to
- 39:36Speaker 3: be Courtland. Oh no, you know why he looks too
- 39:39Speaker 3: small because he's standing next to that physical freak Keem Butler.
- 39:42Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's why why Dude, King Butler is a
- 39:45Speaker 5: He's a giant.
- 39:46Speaker 2: He's a big dude. He's six y five. What is he?
- 39:49Speaker 2: Sixty five and two thirty? Is that what he is?
- 39:51Speaker 2: Something like that.
- 39:52Speaker 3: He's not gonna make the team.
- 39:53Speaker 2: No, I know he's not gonna make the team.
- 39:55Speaker 5: But he's thirty years old. He was a UFL was
- 39:57Speaker 5: a UFL leading receiver.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Is that what he was?
- 40:00Speaker 5: I mean, he's thirty years old, bro. I mean, let's
- 40:03Speaker 5: not let's not kid ourselves at this guy. Is you know,
- 40:05Speaker 5: gonna come in and get snaps? I didn't really think
- 40:09Speaker 5: that at all, not even one time.
- 40:11Speaker 3: You know, the other shocking body type that is out
- 40:15Speaker 3: here that he's gonna make the team, And it kind
- 40:17Speaker 3: of pisses you off because it's a roster spot that
- 40:19Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like you need to take up. It's
- 40:22Speaker 3: Adam Prentiss. All these dudes are out here in shorts, right,
- 40:25Speaker 3: everybody's out here in shorts. Adam Prentiss, who has the
- 40:28Speaker 3: biggest quads I have ever seen. And Mark and I
- 40:31Speaker 3: have worked in hockey for what a combined I've only
- 40:34Speaker 3: been here for ten years, but like a combined forty years.
- 40:37Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, yep.
- 40:39Speaker 3: That sport is full of gigantic quads. Adam Prentiss that much.
- 40:43Speaker 3: But thank you very much, Mar. He's walking around in
- 40:46Speaker 3: compression shorts and these things are the size of my torsion.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Yeah, that dude.
- 40:51Speaker 3: You keep him on the roster just to be an
- 40:53Speaker 3: intimidating body type.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Well, he's one of those guys. He's one of those guys.
- 40:57Speaker 5: We talked about Troupman, we talked about Little Jordan Humphrey,
- 41:00Speaker 5: talked about Taysom Hill. You know what Adam Prentiss is, right,
- 41:03Speaker 5: He's a Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints guy. So obviously
- 41:07Speaker 5: Prentiss is one of his guys. That doesn't mean you
- 41:10Speaker 5: don't have to put in the work, but if there's
- 41:12Speaker 5: a spot to be had for a full back, Prentiss
- 41:14Speaker 5: is the guy. I mean, it's almost like what do
- 41:17Speaker 5: you call it, It's just like being willed into a
- 41:19Speaker 5: job because he's a Sean Payton kind of guy. Now,
- 41:22Speaker 5: he doesn't play a ton. I was looking up his
- 41:23Speaker 5: career stats last year. He got into all seventeen games.
- 41:28Speaker 2: Okay, but about but he.
- 41:31Speaker 5: Had six catches on eight targets for fifty three yards
- 41:34Speaker 5: on the season. That's it. That's all. And of course
- 41:42Speaker 5: he plays special teams.
- 41:42Speaker 2: So there you go.
- 41:45Speaker 3: Still no eyes on Jalen Waddle just yet.
- 41:49Speaker 5: Jesse, you gotta be a hawk of walking in here today.
- 41:52Speaker 5: You know where that that picnic area is on the
- 41:54Speaker 5: on the walk down from the parking lot, that picnic
- 41:56Speaker 5: area on the right hand.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Side they do.
- 41:58Speaker 5: There was a big old redtail hawk in there, just
- 42:01Speaker 5: mauing on a rabbit's head. Man just absolutely going to
- 42:04Speaker 5: town on this rabbit. He nailed him. He nailed the rabbit.
- 42:08Speaker 5: And then he's just just like he's eating the Moon's
- 42:11Speaker 5: over my hammy at Denny's man just scarfing that rabbit.
- 42:13Speaker 2: It was awesome.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Anything or anyone you are looking for in particular today
- 42:19Speaker 3: out of practice. The stars from yesterday, this.
- 42:21Speaker 5: Is my guy right there. And there's vix guy right
- 42:22Speaker 5: there at number fifty, that's my guy.
- 42:25Speaker 3: The defensive line stars yesterday, Malcolm Roach, Iomo Waserrique was
- 42:31Speaker 3: fantastic as well. In terms of your offensive studgs, Troy
- 42:34Speaker 3: Franklin had probably his best or his second day or
- 42:37Speaker 3: second best day out at practice.
- 42:39Speaker 2: RJ.
- 42:39Speaker 3: Harvey in the swing game now he was working with
- 42:41Speaker 3: the twos against twos and threes in the swing pass
- 42:44Speaker 3: game with Sam Ellnger was really really good. But anyone
- 42:48Speaker 3: in particular that you are looking for in a non
- 42:51Speaker 3: padded practice today, No, But I want to see the
- 42:53Speaker 3: offense pick it up a little bit, you know. I
- 42:55Speaker 3: think that they've gotten dominated lately. Yeah, And Leggy even
- 42:57Speaker 3: admitted it.
- 42:58Speaker 5: In Leggy's opinion, it's been like only one day that
- 43:01Speaker 5: the offense has won the day, right, That's what Legy thought.
- 43:04Speaker 5: And he thinks the defense has probably had the better
- 43:06Speaker 5: of the offense a lot on a couple of days
- 43:09Speaker 5: and then a little on a couple of other days.
- 43:11Speaker 2: You got your eyes on him. Just what do you see, Alfonso?
- 43:14Speaker 2: Give us a four point no helmet, But he's in
- 43:16Speaker 2: a jersey in shorts.
- 43:17Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well he's out there walking around walking.
- 43:19Speaker 2: So we're talking about Jaylen Waddle.
- 43:21Speaker 3: Kind of doing what Nick, Benito and Sutton we're doing
- 43:24Speaker 3: over the past couple of days.
- 43:25Speaker 5: Okay, so there you go. So at least he's out
- 43:27Speaker 5: there on the field, that's really good news. And of
- 43:30Speaker 5: course there's Marvin Mims. He's always going to.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Be out there. That guy's a robot. Love that guy.
- 43:35Speaker 5: Cortland's out there doing what he did Yesterday's just throwing
- 43:37Speaker 5: the football around.
- 43:38Speaker 2: So everybody's looking fine.
- 43:39Speaker 5: I don't see Benito, but I'm sure he's out there
- 43:41Speaker 5: scuffling around, and it seems like everybody's gonna be there.
- 43:44Speaker 3: It's good Nelly. Before we get out of here, where
- 43:47Speaker 3: did we go wrong? Today? My friend.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Nelly monitors the mistakes in today's fact Checker. Fact Checker
- 43:57Speaker 1: presented by Machuson SHANKERSUS Lawyers for the Seriously Injured.
- 44:03Speaker 9: Today, it's going to be like the show the Producers,
- 44:06Speaker 9: because it's where did we go right? Earlier, Moser used
- 44:10Speaker 9: a big word that blew the mind of one of
- 44:14Speaker 9: our texters from Georgia, and the texter sent us a
- 44:18Speaker 9: message along the lines of what was that bleepin big
- 44:21Speaker 9: bleeping word that Mosu're just bleep and used a lot
- 44:24Speaker 9: of bleeps a lot of love for this big word,
- 44:26Speaker 9: and what was that word you used?
- 44:27Speaker 2: Moser?
- 44:27Speaker 9: Let's let's take a listen back.
- 44:28Speaker 5: I like DJ Jones. I like his personality. He's he's
- 44:33Speaker 5: very gregarious. He's a damn good football player.
- 44:37Speaker 9: So the word gregarious means sociable or being good with
- 44:41Speaker 9: other people, outgoing, friendly, happy in crowds.
- 44:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I put it a happy, go lucky, you know, approachable,
- 44:48Speaker 5: apple affable.
- 44:49Speaker 2: That's not a fact.
- 44:51Speaker 5: I hope affable is not too big of a word
- 44:52Speaker 5: at affable kind of dude.
- 44:54Speaker 3: Got that right?
- 44:54Speaker 10: Wait, what what's called that? Steve Nelson go to he's
- 44:57Speaker 10: impressed by gregarious?
- 44:58Speaker 2: No, no text forg Georgia. Wall Oh, that makes way
- 45:01Speaker 2: more sense.
- 45:04Speaker 9: Why didn't you pipe down Syracuse? You just rolled up
- 45:06Speaker 9: on your bike and he stunk up the media room.
- 45:08Speaker 9: You're trying to make fun of my degree from CEU

- 45:29Speaker 2: Am I right?
- 45:30Speaker 5: My right coach, your third string linebacker Smith, Yeah, he
- 45:34Speaker 5: would be fine. It's being a value wab'd be fine. Yeah,
- 45:36Speaker 5: but coach, yeah, coach, his right leg is in the
