- 0:34Speaker 3: Well, that could be even funnier. Moshe would probably, I

- 2:22Speaker 4: the Broncos game at Mile High Stadium. The same night
- 2:27Speaker 4: that our outfit, our station, is holding a wine party
- 2:31Speaker 4: at Elitch's. Right. So, I really wanted to go to
- 2:35Speaker 4: this wine night, whatever this is. Wine time? What's it called?
- 2:39Speaker 4: Wine time.
- 2:41Speaker 7: Wine time.
- 2:42Speaker 4: I wanted to go to wine time. You know me
- 2:44Speaker 4: and my wine and the grape. but I cannot go
- 2:46Speaker 4: to wine time because there's a Broncos game. That's how
- 2:49Speaker 4: much I love football. That's the sacrifice I'm making.
- 2:55Speaker 2: They have wine inside that stadium.
- 2:57Speaker 6: Yeah, it's right next to the fresh pears.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Vic with a glass of wine in a juicy nectarine
- 3:06Speaker 3: is the way he likes to watch his sports.
- 3:08Speaker 7: No.
- 3:08Speaker 4: Do you want, since we lost, don't do the peach pit.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Oh God. Here's the thing.
- 3:13Speaker 2: You got a nanner? That's obvious, a nanner.
- 3:15Speaker 7: Vic Lombardi loves nanners. And a peach and a plum.
- 3:24Speaker 7: You have a nanner, a peach, and a plum. Can
- 3:26Speaker 7: I just ask you for just one little favor, please?
- 3:29Speaker 4: As a brother, as a friend, as a partner, all.
- 3:31Speaker 7: That kind of thing.
- 3:32Speaker 4: No, no, no, you're not eating any of these. No, no, no,
- 3:35Speaker 4: nobody's going to eat anything. I swear to God. I
- 3:37Speaker 4: promise I won't. Nobody's going to eat your stuff. You
- 3:40Speaker 4: can't touch the germs. What are you doing? Okay. You
- 3:48Speaker 4: didn't need to do that. It was stupid. It was
- 3:51Speaker 4: a stupid act. Would you do us a favor? Would
- 3:55Speaker 4: you keep your fruit to yourself, please?
- 3:58Speaker 7: You know, again, when we were at that one Rockies
- 4:01Speaker 7: game and the guys next to us were eating a salad,
- 4:04Speaker 7: and it causes a visceral reaction in me. When you
- 4:08Speaker 7: talk about your fruit and your idealistic fruit stand at
- 4:11Speaker 7: the Broncos game, That causes a visceral reaction to me.
- 4:14Speaker 7: Can you just keep your fruit to yourself? All right.
- 4:17Speaker 7: But why we love football? You realize what today is, right?
- 4:20Speaker 7: It's August 28th, Friday. Is this zero week?
- 4:24Speaker 4: Zero week, baby. Dublin tomorrow.
- 4:26Speaker 7: Zero week football. And I was thinking, and I was
- 4:29Speaker 7: talking to Steve about this.
- 4:30Speaker 4: High school football tonight. You know, high school football is
- 4:33Speaker 4: in full effect.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Sanford took down some Texas boys last weekend.
- 4:37Speaker 4: He's playing another out-of-state team tonight.
- 4:39Speaker 7: But you know what that means? Zero-week football?
- 4:42Speaker 4: It means it's time! No way!
- 4:47Speaker 7: Jesus.
- 4:48Speaker 3: That was loud.
- 4:48Speaker 4: That scared the hell out of me. Gonna eat my
- 4:53Speaker 4: peach during this one.
- 5:02Speaker 2: He was headbanging too hard. He ripped his headphones out.
- 5:05Speaker 8: Woo!
- 5:06Speaker 4: We're laying it down, baby. The first one of the season.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Now get ready. The USC Trojans.
- 5:14Speaker 7: By the way, they are trying to make their first
- 5:16Speaker 7: ever playoff bid at USC. And they are taking on
- 5:21Speaker 7: San Jose State and the Spartans stink.
- 5:23Speaker 3: They haven't made the college football playoff.
- 5:25Speaker 2: That's pretty nuts.
- 5:26Speaker 7: They have not, but they start up the season number
- 5:28Speaker 7: 14 in the country. USC is going to be on
- 5:31Speaker 7: a mission this year, Vic. And by the way, I'm
- 5:33Speaker 7: glad that they're going to renew the rivalry with Notre
- 5:36Speaker 7: Dame in the future. I think it's incredibly important for
- 5:38Speaker 7: college football.
- 5:40Speaker 4: But this is a pretty easy one.
- 5:42Speaker 7: San Jose State stinks. The Trojans, I mean, offensively, they've
- 5:47Speaker 7: been dynamic. Last year, do you realize they were eighth
- 5:50Speaker 7: in the country in total offense per game at 466
- 5:53Speaker 7: yards per? Dude, this is a comeback year for the Trojans.
- 5:59Speaker 7: So take the 38 and a half, right?
- 6:01Speaker 4: Where's this game?
- 6:03Speaker 7: It's at USC. It's at the Coliseum.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Okay. So here's where you go, Brad.
- 6:09Speaker 7: You say, I like the Trojans. I like everything about Trojans.
- 6:13Speaker 4: In fact, I like a good... Okay, stop. Stop. I
- 6:17Speaker 4: like a good Trojan horse.
- 6:19Speaker 8: Right?
- 6:19Speaker 7: Great story.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Troy, the whole nine yards, everything about.
- 6:22Speaker 7: It is good.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Take your bread. You take the Trojans.
- 6:27Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 6:28Speaker 7: You lay it down with the Trojans. Yeah.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Minus 38 and a half.
- 6:31Speaker 7: Lay it down! Lay it down!
- 6:31Speaker 4: Lay it down!
- 6:37Speaker 7: I cannot get off Dublin. Aer Lingus all over the place.
- 6:41Speaker 7: The Aer Lingus Bowl, or whatever the hell they're calling
- 6:43Speaker 7: this thing. Celebrity classic in Dublin, Ireland. Vic, UNC, and Virginia.
- 6:50Speaker 7: You realize Virginia last year, by the way, they're laying four.
- 6:53Speaker 4: UNC is in North Carolina.
- 6:56Speaker 7: Correct.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Because Northern Colorado also kicks off, I believe, tonight under
- 7:01Speaker 4: the lights.
- 7:01Speaker 7: Not in Dublin, though.
- 7:02Speaker 5: 418 yards.
- 7:04Speaker 7: It was good for 29th last year for Virginia. And
- 7:07Speaker 7: by the way, they beat the snot out of North
- 7:09Speaker 7: Carolina last year in their opener. They're going to do
- 7:11Speaker 7: it again this year because their defense is really, really good.
- 7:14Speaker 7: 20th in the league. They finished 11-3 last year to
- 7:16Speaker 7: the Cavaliers. Beat Missouri in the Gator Bowl.
- 7:19Speaker 4: You probably didn't.
- 7:19Speaker 7: Realize that, did you?
- 7:20Speaker 4: I did not.
- 7:21Speaker 7: You had no idea, did you?
- 7:22Speaker 8: Nope.
- 7:23Speaker 7: Actually, Virginia's not.
- 7:26Speaker 7: TCU's playing UNC, my bad. Virginia's playing NC State. They
- 7:31Speaker 7: blew out NC State last year. Anyway, take Virginia minus
- 7:34Speaker 7: four lay down.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Terrible.
- 7:42Speaker 7: UNC.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Did you just comment on a team that wasn't playing
- 7:45Speaker 3: in that game?
- 7:46Speaker 7: I did.
- 7:46Speaker 4: I did. Okay, great.
- 7:47Speaker 7: But I like the Horned Frogs as well. The Horned
- 7:49Speaker 7: Frogs offense is being revamped. And I know UNC's been revamped,
- 7:52Speaker 7: but I can't in a season opener go with Belichick.
- 7:55Speaker 7: I just can't do it.
- 7:57Speaker 3: I'm buying the Belichick stuff this year.
- 8:00Speaker 7: You are? Wow.
- 8:01Speaker 4: Why?
- 8:02Speaker 7: You must be drunk. Either way. No, you're right.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Why would I bet on the greatest coach that's ever
- 8:06Speaker 3: existed in football history?
- 8:07Speaker 4: Sonny Dykes.
- 8:07Speaker 2: That he might turn it around.
- 8:08Speaker 7: Sonny Dykes has the Frogs winning every year. They win
- 8:10Speaker 7: at least nine games per season under Sonny Dykes. It's
- 8:13Speaker 7: minus eight and a half for the Frogs.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Take the eight and a half.
- 8:17Speaker 7: Lay it up to any UNC fan you can find.
- 8:19Speaker 4: Minus eight and a half.
- 8:19Speaker 8: Lay it down.
- 8:20Speaker 4: If you're not going to bring the fervor, bring it.
- 8:27Speaker 7: My last one, I'm bringing the fervor.
- 8:30Speaker 4: Mac Daddy. Are we in the Mac Daddy? We are
- 8:33Speaker 4: in the Mac Daddy.
- 8:36Speaker 7: First ever Mac game. for the Sac State Hornets. They
- 8:41Speaker 7: are on the road tomorrow at 4.30 against Eastern Michigan.
- 8:45Speaker 7: And if you look at the little computer models and
- 8:47Speaker 7: everything else, the fight in Horney are about a 56%
- 8:51Speaker 7: matchup predictor favorite to walk into Eastern Michigan and win.
- 8:56Speaker 7: Even though Brennan Marion is now their former head coach,
- 8:58Speaker 7: now the OC at Colorado. That go-go offense still goes, baby, right?
- 9:03Speaker 7: Especially at this level. And I'm telling you right now,
- 9:06Speaker 7: Eastern Michigan ain't never seen nothing like a fight and
- 9:09Speaker 7: a horn eye in their face.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Did Marion get let go or did he choose to go?
- 9:12Speaker 7: No, he chose to come to Colorado. Prime hired him
- 9:15Speaker 7: away from Sac State. And the Hornets are getting eight
- 9:20Speaker 7: and a half. In some places, nine and a half
- 9:24Speaker 7: of you can find it at Eastern Michigan, yet the
- 9:26Speaker 7: matchup predictor has.
- 9:27Speaker 4: Them at 56%.
- 9:28Speaker 7: That sounds to me like free money. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 9:33Speaker 7: get your stingers up. And I mean get your stingers way, way,
- 9:37Speaker 7: way up for the first ever MAAC game for the
- 9:40Speaker 7: fighting horn eye of California State University Sacramento at Eastern Michigan.
- 9:45Speaker 7: Get nine and a half, if you can get it,
- 9:47Speaker 7: or eight and a half. Get your stinger way up.
- 9:50Speaker 8: And lay it down!
- 9:51Speaker 7: Lay it.
- 9:54Speaker 4: Down!
- 9:55Speaker 8: Lay it down!
- 9:56Speaker 3: Lay that down!
- 9:57Speaker 7: That's right, Bear, lay it down.
- 10:00Speaker 3: There you go the return of lay it down as
- 10:02Speaker 3: week zero of college football is among us tomorrow starting
- 10:06Speaker 3: at 10 a.m north carolina and tcu in.
- 10:09Speaker 7: Dublin aren't you aren't you excited yes are you kidding
- 10:12Speaker 7: of course because you don't vicky you're just sucking on
- 10:14Speaker 7: your plum you don't sound excited well.
- 10:16Speaker 3: I gotta i gotta be honest moshe When you gave
- 10:18Speaker 3: us all the stats of a team who wasn't playing
- 10:20Speaker 3: in a game.
- 10:21Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
- 10:22Speaker 7: No, no, no, no. Sorry, Virginia's playing North Carolina State.
- 10:25Speaker 7: That's probably the outside of the TCU-UNC game. That's the
- 10:28Speaker 7: other big game of zero week.
- 10:30Speaker 8: Yes.
- 10:31Speaker 7: I gave you the right stuff about Virginia, just the
- 10:32Speaker 7: wrong opponent.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha.
- 10:34Speaker 7: Okay, so there you go. But it's Virginia minus four.
- 10:37Speaker 7: It's TCU minus eight and a half. It's USC minus
- 10:40Speaker 7: 38 and a half. And it's the fight in the
- 10:41Speaker 7: horn eye of Sac State plus nine and a half,
- 10:43Speaker 7: if you can get it.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Um, so.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Along with week zero college football starting tomorrow, we have
- 10:49Speaker 3: that final preseason game tonight for the Broncos. I don't
- 10:52Speaker 3: know who's going to play in this thing, by the way.
- 10:54Speaker 2: I don't know what their plan is.
- 10:55Speaker 3: If they're not playing Bo Nix, I don't see the
- 10:57Speaker 3: point in starting other guys.
- 10:59Speaker 2: I don't think that makes sense.
- 11:01Speaker 4: How many other guys?
- 11:02Speaker 3: Would you play Cortland if you're not playing Bo Nix?
- 11:05Speaker 4: Does Jalen Waddle need to play?
- 11:07Speaker 3: Well, here's what Davis Webb said about Jalen Waddle.
- 11:11Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm glad he got an explosive. I'm glad he
- 11:13Speaker 9: got a touch early in the first drive. That was
- 11:14Speaker 9: definitely the goal going into the game. they played man
- 11:17Speaker 9: to man and he got Xavier, which I.
- 11:19Speaker 4: Can say that cause he's an old teammate.
- 11:20Speaker 9: So that was, that was fun, but it was cool
- 11:23Speaker 9: to see his response to the fans, his response to
- 11:27Speaker 9: the end zone with like the posters going up miles
- 11:30Speaker 9: on the scoreboard. Like he was in awe. So I'm
- 11:33Speaker 9: glad he got to experience that before we get going.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Jalen Waddle was blown away by the crowd. He was,
- 11:37Speaker 3: this is your crowd in a preseason game. He mentioned
- 11:40Speaker 3: it after the game.
- 11:41Speaker 4: I love the fact that, Davis Webb can refer to
- 11:44Speaker 4: players currently playing as former teammates. Yeah. He is their contemporaries.
- 11:48Speaker 4: I mean, he's their age. No, he's younger than that. Yeah.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Is he 31?
- 11:53Speaker 4: I think he's 31 years old. Correct me if I'm wrong.
- 11:56Speaker 8: He is, yeah.
- 11:57Speaker 4: Portland Suns said he's pretty much his age. I mean, remember,
- 12:00Speaker 4: you know his road to the... Oh, sure.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Sure.
- 12:03Speaker 4: He played at Cal. I think before that, was he
- 12:07Speaker 4: at Texas Tech? He's a Texas product.
- 12:10Speaker 7: He's a Texas dude.
- 12:11Speaker 4: He's a Texas kid. Texas Tech, yes. Texas Tech before that.
- 12:17Speaker 4: He played for a very high-energy offensive coach, and he
- 12:22Speaker 4: learned this high energy. So I hope he brings more
- 12:24Speaker 4: of that energy and that pace into who's play calling
- 12:27Speaker 4: as an NFL play caller. I think we've already seen it.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Mention the rhythm of the offense too.
- 12:31Speaker 9: It's been a little bit different because you have three
- 12:33Speaker 9: quarterbacks in there. You got three O-line groups, three skill
- 12:36Speaker 9: position groups. So it's kind of finding the rhythm and
- 12:38Speaker 9: then moving on to the next rhythm. You can't call
- 12:40Speaker 9: the same plays as you would with the first group.
- 12:42Speaker 9: They're much more experienced in some of these plays. So
- 12:45Speaker 9: I think just finding that wavelength for everybody to get
- 12:48Speaker 9: on to have some success is something that I struggled
- 12:50Speaker 9: with last week. We didn't play good enough in the third,
- 12:53Speaker 9: fourth quarter. So that would be a big emphasis this
- 12:55Speaker 9: week to kind of get everyone on the same wavelength.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Is there anything to Stidham and Ellinger tonight, or has
- 12:59Speaker 2: it done anything?
- 13:01Speaker 4: Well, I think there's always something to it. What if
- 13:03Speaker 4: one guy really shines and the other one doesn't? I mean,
- 13:06Speaker 4: I think we know that a decision needs to be
- 13:09Speaker 4: made either way. If you really value a running back
- 13:15Speaker 4: that you don't want somebody else to pick up, right,
- 13:18Speaker 4: do you keep three quarterbacks, or do you keep two
- 13:21Speaker 4: to save that running back? Can you sneak a quarterback
- 13:26Speaker 4: under the wire?
- 13:27Speaker 2: Not Ellinger.
- 13:29Speaker 4: No, I don't think... They did last year.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't... No, no, but he didn't sneak... He
- 13:33Speaker 3: was going to get picked up, and he chose to stay.
- 13:35Speaker 4: He chose to stay.
- 13:36Speaker 3: I mean.
- 13:36Speaker 4: I don't... But I don't think.
- 13:39Speaker 7: I think if you got rid of Stidham, or you
- 13:41Speaker 7: tried to slip him, or... I think he would be
- 13:44Speaker 7: picked up pretty quickly. I think there's another team in
- 13:47Speaker 7: this league that would value his ability.
- 13:50Speaker 8: So.
- 13:51Speaker 4: I don't, I think I don't, that's a great question.
- 13:53Speaker 7: I don't know. I think that's a real, that's probably
- 13:55Speaker 7: one of the hardest or maybe the hardest decision they have.
- 13:58Speaker 4: They don't have very many hard decisions.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Well, they, they do not ones that we would care about,
- 14:04Speaker 3: but they have a linebacker spot.
- 14:06Speaker 7: I think Red Murdoch, I think Red Murdoch has earned
- 14:08Speaker 7: himself a spot on this team.
- 14:09Speaker 4: By 4 PM on Sunday, they have to go from
- 14:11Speaker 4: 90 to 53. Yeah. I'm of the opinion that they
- 14:16Speaker 4: already have. 30 of these selections, maybe even 35 of
- 14:21Speaker 4: them made.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure it's probably more like 45.
- 14:23Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's like four or five looks. Four or
- 14:29Speaker 4: five guys that they're going to look at tonight. Do
- 14:32Speaker 4: you disagree? No, I think that sounds right. That's what
- 14:37Speaker 4: it comes down to at this point in the season.
- 14:40Speaker 4: In the preseason, I should say.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Yeah. It's, to me, the things I'm most curious about
- 14:46Speaker 2: when we hit Sunday.
- 14:49Speaker 3: Are you going to keep all five of these wideouts
- 14:50Speaker 3: on the team?
- 14:51Speaker 4: Right?
- 14:52Speaker 3: That's a big one for me. I think they will.
- 14:55Speaker 3: You're going to keep five wideouts.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I think they will.
- 14:57Speaker 3: It's just a matter of who's it going to be.
- 14:59Speaker 3: I want to know which tight ends they're keeping on
- 15:01Speaker 3: the 53.
- 15:01Speaker 4: Are you keeping Justin Jolie?
- 15:03Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of them.
- 15:05Speaker 3: How many offensive linemen and defensive linemen do you want
- 15:08Speaker 3: to keep? You know, we just had Legge on yesterday.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Cage Casey, their fourth-round draft pick. He said if he
- 15:14Speaker 3: hits waivers, he's getting picked up.
- 15:17Speaker 7: Well, he said he's basically, he's heard from personnel guys,
- 15:20Speaker 7: he's an insta-claim.
- 15:21Speaker 3: So you have to keep him. They're going to keep Forsyth.
- 15:24Speaker 3: I think they're going to keep Crum again. Probably Palachewski.
- 15:26Speaker 3: That's nine offensive linemen that you're keeping at a minimum,
- 15:31Speaker 3: along with some other guys. Then you're talking about defensive line. Hey,
- 15:34Speaker 3: Savion Jones was a third-round pick from last year. He's
- 15:36Speaker 3: still buried on the depth chart. Is he going to
- 15:40Speaker 3: make the team? Are you going to keep a Jordan Jackson?
- 15:43Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 15:46Speaker 7: I think the linebackers... But are you? Are you going
- 15:48Speaker 7: to keep a Wazirike too?
- 15:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Well, that's seven guys, eight guys that you're talking about
- 15:54Speaker 3: on the defensive line now.
- 15:54Speaker 4: You know how much they value the trenches on this team?
- 15:57Speaker 4: That's where it starts.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Yes, Vic, but that's the interior defensive line that doesn't
- 16:01Speaker 3: even count the edge rushers where you're talking about Dondre Tillman.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Q Robinson, Jonah Ellis, obviously you're going to make this team.
- 16:09Speaker 4: There's a lot of dudes out there.
- 16:11Speaker 7: Exactly. I think with the Jonathan Cooper situation being in flux,
- 16:18Speaker 7: and Legge indicated that he's going to get suspended at
- 16:21Speaker 7: some point, right? For how long, we don't know. But
- 16:24Speaker 7: with all of this sort of in flux, I think
- 16:26Speaker 7: that that is a very malleable situation right now. And
- 16:30Speaker 7: with Mr. Irrelevant, Q, excuse me, Red Murdoch, not Q,
- 16:35Speaker 7: Red Murdoch, playing so well in the inside, somebody is
- 16:44Speaker 7: going to be a victim of Red Bull.
- 16:46Speaker 3: He was helped out big time by the injury to
- 16:48Speaker 3: Lavelle Bailey early in this because that would have been
- 16:51Speaker 3: another roster spot that was out there. I think he's
- 16:53Speaker 3: on the team pretty firmly now. But there's a guy
- 16:55Speaker 3: that Chad Brown loves at linebacker. It's the young kid,
- 16:57Speaker 3: Torian York. He said he's looked really good during camp
- 17:01Speaker 3: and preseason games. You talk about the safeties. I would
- 17:04Speaker 3: assume they're going to keep four with Hufang and Brandon Jones,
- 17:06Speaker 3: but also Skinner for special team stuff and Devon Key.
- 17:10Speaker 3: They said, pretty much without saying it, they're bringing back
- 17:15Speaker 3: Taylor Rapp once he gets done with his personal stuff.
- 17:18Speaker 3: So that's a roster that's down the road that they
- 17:20Speaker 3: have to get.
- 17:22Speaker 4: Ask yourself this question, though, regarding the quarterbacks. Sam Ellinger
- 17:26Speaker 4: had a chance, a choice. He could have gone to
- 17:29Speaker 4: another team and been on a roster, right? He could
- 17:32Speaker 4: have chosen another team. He chose to stay here in Denver.
- 17:37Speaker 8: Why?
- 17:38Speaker 4: Why did he choose to stay in Denver without any
- 17:42Speaker 4: assurances that he could be the No. 2 quarterback?
- 17:45Speaker 7: Why would he choose to stay here.
- 17:47Speaker 4: As the No. 3 guy if he wasn't given something,
- 17:51Speaker 4: some semblance of an assurance, hey, stick around, your time's coming?
- 17:55Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on.
- 17:56Speaker 3: Let's get back to that in just a second because
- 17:58Speaker 3: we also got to get our last qualifier out there,
- 18:00Speaker 3: our last keyword.
- 18:00Speaker 2: So we'll get back to that in just a moment.
- 18:02Speaker 4: Stick around.
- 18:02Speaker 2: All right, so a few things here.
- 18:03Speaker 3: We got our last keyword of the contest for us.
- 18:07Speaker 3: It's all coming throughout the day, though, so stay tuned
- 18:09Speaker 3: for those. Get in that Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament. Try
- 18:12Speaker 3: and get yourself a KC for that season opener. Now,
- 18:16Speaker 3: you asked the question, why would Ellinger stay last year
- 18:20Speaker 3: when he had an opportunity to be on 53 somewhere else?
- 18:24Speaker 2: I don't know what the right answer is.
- 18:26Speaker 3: I don't. Was he given a wink, wink, nudge, nudge? Like, hey,
- 18:30Speaker 3: next year, if you stick around, you'll be the backup
- 18:32Speaker 3: guy here. Was he just looking for tutelage under Davis
- 18:37Speaker 3: Webb and Sean Payton that he thought was valuable for
- 18:39Speaker 3: his career?
- 18:40Speaker 4: So he decided to do that.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Like, I don't know.
- 18:42Speaker 7: He's played in this league is what I was getting at.
- 18:45Speaker 7: So he's had, he's started games. If you get an
- 18:49Speaker 7: opportunity to play as a backup someplace else, or you're
- 18:54Speaker 7: one play away from being in the game and actually
- 18:57Speaker 7: playing football, that's the route that I would want to take.
- 19:00Speaker 7: So it had to be some sort of very compelling
- 19:02Speaker 7: argument to get him to stick around on this bounce
- 19:05Speaker 7: up between the practice squad thing all year long is
- 19:08Speaker 7: the third.
- 19:08Speaker 4: I don't know what it is. That's between Sean Payton
- 19:12Speaker 4: and Sam Ellinger.
- 19:12Speaker 7: But I would want to play if it was me,
- 19:15Speaker 7: so I would have taken the opportunity elsewhere. So something
- 19:18Speaker 7: went down.
- 19:19Speaker 3: I just don't think that's happening again. He's not going
- 19:23Speaker 3: to be They aren't going to have a conversation at
- 19:25Speaker 3: the end of this final preseason game and say, hey, Sam,
- 19:28Speaker 3: you can stick around.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Here's the number three again if you'd like. And he goes, okay.
- 19:34Speaker 4: I just think there's more to it than that, which
- 19:35Speaker 4: is why I keep bringing that race up. And everybody
- 19:38Speaker 4: who says, well, why would you change a good thing? Well,
- 19:41Speaker 4: because maybe we see it differently. Maybe they see an
- 19:46Speaker 4: opportunity to get a quarterback who most resembles Bo Nix.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Who resembles Bo more, Jared Stidham or Sam Ellinger? And
- 19:55Speaker 4: when I say resemble, same style of play.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Sam Ellinger does, I would say, the biggest value of
- 20:05Speaker 3: the quarterback position is throwing the football, and Jared Stidham
- 20:08Speaker 3: is better at that than Ellinger is.
- 20:09Speaker 7: Yes, yes.
- 20:10Speaker 4: But, I mean, maybe they don't want to switch styles
- 20:12Speaker 4: if they have to go to the number two?
- 20:15Speaker 7: Could be.
- 20:16Speaker 3: But here's the thing. Bo Nix is capable of running
- 20:20Speaker 3: the football. Look, they don't run and read options with
- 20:23Speaker 3: Bo Nix, though. No.
- 20:24Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 20:25Speaker 4: But you can't tell me, though, that a running quarterback
- 20:29Speaker 4: would not have helped in that AFC title game.
- 20:31Speaker 3: In that specific case, yes, that would have. I don't
- 20:34Speaker 3: think that you prepare for... Well, I want the backup
- 20:37Speaker 3: in case we have a blizzard that rolls through in
- 20:40Speaker 3: the second half of the game again.
- 20:41Speaker 4: Listen, Jarrett Stidham's still a good player, and you're right, Moj.
- 20:44Speaker 4: There are a lot of teams that would value that immediately.
- 20:47Speaker 4: But Jarrett Stidham isn't staying here unless he's the No. 2.
- 20:51Speaker 4: He ain't staying here for the No. 3, right?
- 20:54Speaker 2: Stidham would find a No. 2 job pretty quick somewhere else.
- 20:57Speaker 4: So I'm just curious what Ellinger's motivation is. That's all.
- 21:00Speaker 4: I mean, maybe I'm making too much of it.
- 21:04Speaker 3: I have a bigger question of, do the Broncos even
- 21:06Speaker 3: want to keep three guys on the 53? Or would
- 21:09Speaker 3: they be cool picking somebody up and throwing them on
- 21:11Speaker 3: the practice squad?
- 21:12Speaker 4: It used to be you did have three quarterbacks.
- 21:14Speaker 7: I mean, that was the norm for a long time,
- 21:16Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden it became two. When
- 21:18Speaker 7: this whole practice squad thing showed up, two was the
- 21:22Speaker 7: number on me to get. And then now, of course,
- 21:23Speaker 7: they've gone back to, well, you can have a third
- 21:25Speaker 7: active quarterback on Sundays that doesn't count. Yeah.
- 21:29Speaker 4: Hey, Moshe, how come– We're not getting the specifics on
- 21:32Speaker 4: Cale McCarr's contract yet. Yeah, what's going on here? Yeah,
- 21:35Speaker 4: what's taking so long? If it's a done deal, usually
- 21:38Speaker 4: these things leak pretty quickly. Where's the leakage?
- 21:43Speaker 7: Well, I can assure you this. Anything about this, it
- 21:47Speaker 7: has to be from an agent's side. Joe Sackick will
- 21:53Speaker 7: not say mum about crud. I mean, he just won't
- 21:56Speaker 7: do it.
- 21:56Speaker 4: I get that. But why isn't it coming from somewhere somehow?
- 21:59Speaker 7: I'm just curious.
- 22:03Speaker 4: It's a fair question.
- 22:05Speaker 7: Let me start by saying, I don't know, number one.
- 22:07Speaker 4: It's okay to say I don't know.
- 22:08Speaker 7: I didn't call Joe. It's not my business yet. I mean,
- 22:12Speaker 7: I know some things, but this is clearly a franchise thing, okay?
- 22:19Speaker 7: Number two, I'm not worried about it whatsoever.
- 22:22Speaker 4: It's not a matter of worry.
- 22:24Speaker 7: I'm very chilled.
- 22:24Speaker 4: I know you want. I want answers. I'm Brett King.
- 22:28Speaker 4: I want to know right now. Brett, you're a little
- 22:30Speaker 4: over the top. I want to know right now. On
- 22:32Speaker 4: needing information.
- 22:33Speaker 2: You asked the question, not me.
- 22:35Speaker 4: I know. You guys are just very needy right now
- 22:38Speaker 4: about this. And I'm like, it's fine. It's going to
- 22:41Speaker 4: be done. I'm Mark Mosher. I don't know anything. Stop
- 22:45Speaker 4: asking me.
- 22:46Speaker 2: How's that for an impression?
- 22:47Speaker 4: Pretty good. We mentioned the Connor Hellebuck news earlier in
- 22:52Speaker 4: the show. He wants out of Winnipeg. Should the Avs
- 22:55Speaker 4: want in? That's a tough one. He's obviously talented, but
- 22:59Speaker 4: you pointed out in his recent playoff appearances, the numbers
- 23:02Speaker 4: have not translated. Number one. Number two, you're paying two
- 23:06Speaker 4: goalies for the price of Hellebuck right now.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Less than. Now, it's not a lot.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Here's the thing.
- 23:15Speaker 7: I guarantee you.
- 23:16Speaker 3: Three extra million dollars a year, because that's essentially what
- 23:18Speaker 3: it is to go from Blackwood to Hellebuck's contract.
- 23:21Speaker 4: It's not a lot.
- 23:22Speaker 3: It's really not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
- 23:24Speaker 3: It's a lot to the Avs, because the Avs.
- 23:27Speaker 4: They're on it. They're right at it. Don't have money.
- 23:30Speaker 4: You would have to lose another player. There would have
- 23:32Speaker 4: to be another player that has to go bye-bye for
- 23:35Speaker 4: that to happen.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Would Marty Natchez be a trade piece if? If they wanted...
- 23:41Speaker 4: Not a chance in hell. Those are questions I'm... No.
- 23:45Speaker 4: Let me answer. I guarantee you after this show, Raj
- 23:50Speaker 4: is going to get into this, and Raj is going
- 23:52Speaker 4: to push for an idea on how to get Halle
- 23:54Speaker 4: Buck here.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Here's the thing. Nature's at 11.5 right now is an
- 23:58Speaker 2: absolute steal.
- 23:59Speaker 4: 100%. Have that through 2031.
- 24:00Speaker 6: 100%.
- 24:00Speaker 2: That's a steal of a contract.
- 24:02Speaker 4: That is a.
- 24:05Speaker 2: And if that's a steal, I don't even know what
- 24:06Speaker 2: you call it.
- 24:07Speaker 7: The way things are going now, that is a cost-effective situation.
- 24:10Speaker 3: I don't even know if that's what you call Nathan
- 24:12Speaker 3: McKinnon's 12 and a half.
- 24:14Speaker 4: Right now, it's a cost-effective situation.
- 24:16Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 24:17Speaker 3: If nature is a steal, then McKinnon is, you're taking
- 24:21Speaker 3: candy from a baby.
- 24:23Speaker 4: Well, what's the franchise goalie worth? It depends.
- 24:29Speaker 7: I mean, what was Bob Brofsky getting in Florida? And he,
- 24:32Speaker 7: of course, won back-to-back cups. Now he's in Toronto.
- 24:35Speaker 8: Bob.
- 24:36Speaker 7: Bob was getting 10 per. Carey Price was getting what?
- 24:39Speaker 7: Was Carey Price getting 10 in Montreal when he retired?
- 24:42Speaker 7: I mean, look, or close to it or eight or
- 24:44Speaker 7: nine or whatever. Fact of the matter is you brought
- 24:47Speaker 7: the subject up earlier, Vic. Do you need him?
- 24:53Speaker 4: It depends on what need. Here's the difference between need
- 24:55Speaker 4: and want. You can want him. Need and want. Here's
- 24:58Speaker 4: how the answer. Your two goalies won the Jennings. Yeah,
- 25:01Speaker 4: I get it.
- 25:02Speaker 2: And when you won the cup.
- 25:05Speaker 3: The goalie who won you, who was between the pipes
- 25:07Speaker 3: when you won the cup, you said, thanks, bye.
- 25:10Speaker 7: Adios, amigo.
- 25:11Speaker 4: And, you know, again, I'm building both sides of the
- 25:13Speaker 4: argument here. The team that did win the cup this year,
- 25:16Speaker 4: they don't have a franchise goalie.
- 25:18Speaker 7: No, I mean, they, Freddie Anderson, they put Bussey in
- 25:23Speaker 7: and he won it.
- 25:24Speaker 3: So here's the other thing I just want to bring
- 25:27Speaker 3: up with Hellebuck. And it just, it's a matter of
- 25:29Speaker 3: what do you think about this?
- 25:30Speaker 8: Okay.
- 25:31Speaker 2: If you had a better team in front of him,
- 25:33Speaker 2: would it be different?
- 25:33Speaker 4: Perhaps.
- 25:35Speaker 3: But I spent the last three years talking about I
- 25:39Speaker 3: would love to go back to the days if I
- 25:41Speaker 3: had my choice of Jamal Murray having inconsistent regular seasons
- 25:44Speaker 3: and absolutely demolishing people in the postseason.
- 25:48Speaker 2: His last three years have been the opposite of that.
- 25:49Speaker 3: He's been way more consistent in the regular season and
- 25:52Speaker 3: hasn't shown up to the same extent in the postseason.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Connor Hellebuck's last three years in the playoffs, starting in 2023,
- 25:58Speaker 3: 886 save percentage, 3-4-4.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Goals allowed.
- 26:00Speaker 3: 870 save percentage in 2024.
- 26:06Speaker 2: 5-2-3 goals allowed.
- 26:10Speaker 3: This last year, 866, his worst of his career in
- 26:13Speaker 3: the postseason, 308 goals allowed. Is that better competition and
- 26:20Speaker 3: the Winnipeg Jets just aren't good enough around him or
- 26:23Speaker 3: is that him just not being a good playoff player?
- 26:25Speaker 4: Okay, go back to 24. What are the numbers again?
- 26:26Speaker 7: In 24, 870, 5-2-3 against.
- 26:27Speaker 3: That's when the Avs lit him up.
- 26:29Speaker 7: Yeah. Those are all avalanche numbers right there.
- 26:36Speaker 3: Okay, in the other years, it was 886-344 and 866-308. Right,
- 26:39Speaker 3: and they're still not good.
- 26:41Speaker 7: But it doesn't mean because when, again, you look at
- 26:43Speaker 7: the Olympic Games, he was brilliant. In the biggest moment,
- 26:47Speaker 7: he was frigging awesome. So I think you can look
- 26:52Speaker 7: at the Jets and say, hey, man, they've been progressively
- 26:55Speaker 7: getting worse as the years go on and in the postseason.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Weren't they just the President's Cup team two years ago?
- 27:00Speaker 7: No.
- 27:05Speaker 2: Was it not two or three years ago?
- 27:07Speaker 4: It was two years ago.
- 27:08Speaker 2: They led from start to finish.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Was it two years ago?
- 27:11Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. I'll look it up. Just talk. I
- 27:16Speaker 2: got your motion. I do this faster than you anyway.
- 27:18Speaker 6: The Winnipeg Jets, yes, they were the President's Trophy winners
- 27:20Speaker 6: in the 24-25 season.
- 27:21Speaker 4: Indubitably.
- 27:23Speaker 8: You're right.
- 27:24Speaker 1: It's time for another Rock Paper Tickets keyword.
- 27:28Speaker 4: Indubitably. You are healthy then in the last two days. Indubitably. Indubitably.
- 27:33Speaker 4: Text it in now to 303-504-0925. That's a key word.
- 27:40Speaker 4: I'm not spelling it for you.
- 27:41Speaker 3: You want these tickets, then you go ahead and you
- 27:43Speaker 3: want to participate in this Rock, Paper, Scissors contest.
- 27:45Speaker 2: You look up yourself.
- 27:46Speaker 4: Indubitably.
- 27:46Speaker 5: Indubitably.
- 27:48Speaker 3: That's your first and last name, 303-504-0925. Gets you a
- 27:52Speaker 3: chance to qualify for the Rock, Paper, Scissors contest Tuesday
- 27:55Speaker 3: at Rooftop Social in Rhino.
- 27:57Speaker 2: And the winner of that goes to.
- 27:58Speaker 3: KC with Flights Hotel and tickets to see Denver take
- 28:00Speaker 3: on KC Monday night to open up the year.
- 28:02Speaker 7: These seasons are smeared together to me. But what I'm
- 28:05Speaker 7: trying to get at is that in the postseason, they
- 28:06Speaker 7: haven't been good, period.
- 28:08Speaker 2: What I'm trying to get at is I was right.
- 28:10Speaker 7: Yeah, you were.
- 28:11Speaker 4: As a team, though, they haven't been good, period. Let
- 28:12Speaker 4: me go back a little bit. But Olympic Helibuck and
- 28:15Speaker 4: Winnipeg Helibuck are two different guys, right? Olympic Helibuck, I mean,
- 28:19Speaker 4: he closes things down like the Strait of Hormuz.
- 28:33Speaker 7: What? I'm not doing this. I'm not.
- 28:38Speaker 4: That was good.
- 28:39Speaker 7: I'm not doing this. That was quality.
- 28:41Speaker 4: Is it open or closed?
- 28:43Speaker 7: I'm not doing it.
- 28:43Speaker 4: Closing it down like the straight of her moves.
- 28:45Speaker 7: I'm not doing it. But they lose. You look back here.
- 28:51Speaker 7: Lose in the first round. Lose in the second round.
- 28:52Speaker 7: Lose in the first round. Lose in the first round.
- 28:54Speaker 7: I mean, they just have not been good overall in
- 28:57Speaker 7: the postseason period. And the year they won, they had
- 28:59Speaker 7: the President's Trophy. They beat the Blues in seven games,
- 29:01Speaker 7: and then the Stars ripped them in six.
- 29:04Speaker 4: Ripped them. Yeah.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:09Speaker 4: I'm not doing that.
- 29:11Speaker 7: Stop.
- 29:11Speaker 4: Doing what?
- 29:12Speaker 7: I'm not doing plums and bananas and hormoses. I'm not
- 29:16Speaker 7: doing it today.
- 29:17Speaker 4: What are you doing? You're doing your hat.
- 29:20Speaker 7: I'm being a normal human being.
- 29:21Speaker 4: You're doing your hat. I don't want to do your
- 29:23Speaker 4: hat either. Look at you.
- 29:25Speaker 7: You look ridiculous.
- 29:27Speaker 4: You started the day looking ridiculous. What did he just say?
- 29:34Speaker 2: He said the straight of your mom is what he said.
- 29:39Speaker 7: Oh.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Okay.
- 29:40Speaker 3: That is still, you know what?
- 29:45Speaker 4: You understand that my mother's watching the show right now.
- 29:47Speaker 4: Not your mom specifically, just mom's. You better look into
- 29:50Speaker 4: that camera and make that.
- 29:52Speaker 7: Bambino, I'm sorry. I was not talking about you.
- 29:54Speaker 4: I apologize. You better call her right now.
- 29:56Speaker 7: I will.
- 29:56Speaker 4: What was that guy's name? Nafee?
- 30:00Speaker 3: What was his name?
- 30:01Speaker 4: Nafee Perez?
- 30:02Speaker 2: No, the dude who came up to your room and
- 30:04Speaker 2: you just throw a microphone in his face.
- 30:06Speaker 4: Say talk on the radio.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Efren.
- 30:07Speaker 4: Efren.
- 30:09Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
- 30:10Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 30:12Speaker 2: I remember that guy.
- 30:13Speaker 4: Yeah, Efren.
- 30:14Speaker 7: What was he in my room for? He was delivering something.
- 30:17Speaker 8: Some room service.
- 30:17Speaker 7: Like food service or food or something.
- 30:18Speaker 2: It was like coffee and you're like, hey, talk.
- 30:21Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 30:23Speaker 6: You're probably having a peach pit delivered to your room.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Anyway. Here's Bailey.
- 30:28Speaker 7: Hey, Bailey.
- 30:29Speaker 4: For what it's worth, I think Mojo looks cool. Thanks, Bailey.
- 30:31Speaker 5: Wrong.
- 30:33Speaker 7: Anyway, the point is that do you really need the
- 30:36Speaker 7: guy for $ 8 million per?
- 30:41Speaker 4: Again, need and want are two different words.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Would it be worth what you would have to give
- 30:45Speaker 3: up to get him is the bigger question. You would
- 30:48Speaker 3: have to give up something that hurts.
- 30:49Speaker 7: Was goaltending your problem when you lost to Vegas?
- 30:52Speaker 4: No, you could not score.
- 30:52Speaker 2: You couldn't score the puck.
- 30:53Speaker 3: You couldn't put it in the back of the net.
- 30:55Speaker 4: It would be easier to win if you didn't give
- 30:56Speaker 4: up scores either.
- 30:57Speaker 7: Well, yeah, okay, but if you're asking a goalie to
- 30:59Speaker 7: throw a one-up every postseason game, that's.
- 31:02Speaker 4: A hell of an act.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Wasn't the only guy in that series to score multiple goals, Gabe?
- 31:05Speaker 4: Of all people?
- 31:06Speaker 7: It was Gabe. And incidentally, again.
- 31:08Speaker 4: And that's no disrespect to Gabe.
- 31:09Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like, if you're asking who's going to
- 31:12Speaker 3: lead your team in scoring in a series, I think
- 31:14Speaker 3: names like McKinnon and Natchez and McCarr and other names
- 31:17Speaker 3: will pop up first.
- 31:18Speaker 2: That's all.
- 31:19Speaker 7: When you have a 3-0 lead in Game 3, yeah,
- 31:23Speaker 7: I think you'd like your goalies to lock some damn
- 31:27Speaker 7: things down a little bit. But when you go back
- 31:29Speaker 7: and you look, when things broke down in front... Yeah,
- 31:34Speaker 7: they did. The Avs broke down in that particular game three.
- 31:38Speaker 7: Unlike the other three games of that series, they really
- 31:40Speaker 7: broke down.
- 31:41Speaker 4: In that game. Can I make a claim here? And
- 31:43Speaker 4: this is probably an unpopular claim. I think somebody said,
- 31:46Speaker 4: Marty Natchez has a no trade clause in his contract.
- 31:51Speaker 4: Let's say it didn't exist. And you gave me a choice.
- 31:54Speaker 2: It's a no movement clause.
- 31:55Speaker 4: No movement, no trade. I mean, what's the difference, right?
- 31:58Speaker 3: Well, some of these are modified no trade. His is like,
- 32:01Speaker 3: you don't do anything with me unless I say so.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Can't even think about moving. Correct. Hey, listen. Can't even
- 32:07Speaker 4: think about it.
- 32:08Speaker 7: Yes, exactly.
- 32:09Speaker 4: Would you rather have in a playoff run Connor Hellebuck
- 32:14Speaker 4: or Marty Natchez? That's all I'm asking. I'm not asking
- 32:17Speaker 4: regular season. I'm saying in a playoff run.
- 32:19Speaker 7: You're not trading Marty Natchez.
- 32:21Speaker 4: I'm asking the question.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Well, Nacho says his own sort of stuff about playoff appearances, too.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Well, so does Hellebuck. I just said two.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Meaning as well. But, yeah, you know what?
- 32:40Speaker 3: I think, Marty, I think this is how your team
- 32:42Speaker 3: is built. Your team's built to score. They didn't score.
- 32:45Speaker 3: They didn't score against Vegas. That's why you lost.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Yes, you had a 3-0 lead. You couldn't keep that. Okay, fine.
- 32:50Speaker 2: That's another.
- 32:51Speaker 3: Throw that in the ball of things that all went wrong.
- 32:54Speaker 3: The most shocking part of the Vegas series was what?
- 32:57Speaker 3: You couldn't put the puck in the back of the net.
- 32:59Speaker 7: Couldn't.
- 32:59Speaker 2: And that's what your team does. That's what you do.
- 33:03Speaker 4: You're the Avs.
- 33:05Speaker 3: This version of it, you score. So anyway, 3-0-3, 5-0-4, 0-9-2-5.
- 33:12Speaker 4: I sit here.
- 33:14Speaker 7: It's going to take me a while to get over this.
- 33:17Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
- 33:18Speaker 4: It is.
- 33:21Speaker 7: You put up two goals in one game, and then
- 33:23Speaker 7: you put up 2-1-3-1. I mean, dude, you had the
- 33:29Speaker 7: best regular season ever, and you were 8-1 in the postseason.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Today is your last day to qualify for Rock Paper Tickets.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Listen for the keyword every hour for your chance to
- 33:39Speaker 3: compete in our Rock Paper Scissors tournament. Tuesday, win it
- 33:41Speaker 3: all and you're headed to Kansas City with flights, hotel,
- 33:43Speaker 3: and tickets to see Denver take on KC Monday night.
- 33:46Speaker 3: It's all powered by Bud Light. A win isn't a
- 33:48Speaker 3: win without a clean, crisp taste of Bud Light. Bud Light,
- 33:51Speaker 3: easy to drink, easy to enjoy. The official beer sponsor
- 33:54Speaker 3: of the Denver Broncos. Enjoy responsibly. Anheuser-Busch Bud Light Beer, St.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Louis, Missouri.
- 33:59Speaker 7: I want to go back.
- 34:02Speaker 8: Saves a ball of experience.
- 34:05Speaker 7: It's just torturing me. I'm just torturing myself by looking
- 34:08Speaker 7: at this crap. Carter Hartz saves above expected versus the abs.
- 34:15Speaker 7: He'll never do that again in his entire life. He
- 34:18Speaker 7: can live to be 167 years old, and that trucker
- 34:22Speaker 7: will never do it again.
- 34:23Speaker 4: Are you saying that a goalie won a series? He
- 34:26Speaker 4: did that one, yeah. But yes, he did, Vic. I
- 34:31Speaker 4: give you a goalie. Oh, I'm just non-pissed. Okay, shut
- 34:38Speaker 4: it down like the Strait of Horeb.
- 34:39Speaker 7: During the final against Carolina, Hart's numbers dipped, including a
- 34:42Speaker 7: minus 1.03 GSAX on five off. He had the best
- 34:48Speaker 7: week of his life!
- 34:49Speaker 4: No, shut him off. Shut me off. He can't do
- 34:53Speaker 4: that again. Okay. I guarantee you he will never, ever, ever,
- 34:57Speaker 4: ever do that again in his life.
- 34:59Speaker 2: Drunk takes coming your way next.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Damn it. All right, got drunk takes coming up.
- 35:02Speaker 3: But again, final preseason game of the year for the
- 35:05Speaker 3: Broncos is tonight.
- 35:07Speaker 4: No Bo Nix.
- 35:08Speaker 7: Is that better?
- 35:08Speaker 4: Okay, good.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Is what better?
- 35:11Speaker 7: Oh, no.
- 35:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Change your hat.
- 35:12Speaker 4: I do like that hat. Is that a guitar manufacturer?
- 35:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:15Speaker 8: Yeah, Gibson.
- 35:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that.
- 35:16Speaker 7: Yeah, Matt Kroll got it for me in Nashville.
- 35:18Speaker 3: Nice. Again, position battles are maybe not the flashy ones,
- 35:25Speaker 3: the ones that are obvious, starting positions, stuff like that.
- 35:28Speaker 3: They're going to have a lot of decisions to make
- 35:29Speaker 3: before Sunday, though.
- 35:30Speaker 7: A lot.
- 35:31Speaker 2: And it's a matter of where do you want to
- 35:33Speaker 2: keep your depth.
- 35:33Speaker 7: I love what Legge said about that, too, and this
- 35:35Speaker 7: should make Bronco fans feel good. You've got 51 of
- 35:37Speaker 7: 53 players returning to the roster.
- 35:40Speaker 4: Good.
- 35:41Speaker 7: Well, this rookie class, Vic... This rookie class has thrown
- 35:46Speaker 7: a bit of a wrench into the gears because you've
- 35:48Speaker 7: got some guys who can play the game. And like
- 35:52Speaker 7: if Mr. Irrelevant, your seventh round pick, and Red Murdoch
- 35:56Speaker 7: is going to make this football team, well, you're pushing
- 35:59Speaker 7: somebody out perhaps that you didn't expect. And I don't
- 36:02Speaker 7: know who that's going to be, but I'm telling you,
- 36:03Speaker 7: Drew Sanders better get on the field. I like this guy.
- 36:07Speaker 4: He's prototypical.
- 36:10Speaker 7: Great stuff.
- 36:11Speaker 4: Time is running out. But he's got to be on
- 36:14Speaker 4: the field. Period.
- 36:17Speaker 3: Here's one prediction I'll make before Sunday. I think we've
- 36:20Speaker 3: seen the last of Jaleel McLaughlin here. I don't think
- 36:22Speaker 3: there's room at the end anymore.
- 36:23Speaker 4: Well, he can come back on the practice squad.
- 36:25Speaker 2: I don't know if he will. I think that he
- 36:27Speaker 2: might get picked up by somebody.
- 36:28Speaker 8: Okay.
- 36:30Speaker 4: Well, how does that make you feel?
- 36:31Speaker 7: Because Javante Williams....
- 36:34Speaker 4: He's running the football all over Dallas.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Jaleel's a specialty guy. I mean, nothing against him.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Just being that size, you aren't going to run for 1,300
- 36:44Speaker 3: yards in a season.
- 36:44Speaker 4: What about Tyler Bidet?
- 36:46Speaker 3: He's probably still practice squad, dude.
- 36:49Speaker 4: Probably.
- 36:50Speaker 3: Now, he might be that practice squad guy that gets
- 36:52Speaker 3: elevated every Sunday to be the up-back on special teams
- 36:55Speaker 3: or something like that. But their running back room is
- 36:57Speaker 3: going to be Dobbins, Harvey, Coleman, and they're keeping Prentice,
- 37:02Speaker 3: I would assume, too. Because they love their fullbacks.
- 37:07Speaker 4: But I think that's true.
- 37:07Speaker 7: There was a time around these parts where Howard Griffith
- 37:09Speaker 7: was an incredibly valuable member of Mike Shanahan's offense.
- 37:14Speaker 4: Plus, Howard's a great dude.
- 37:16Speaker 7: He's a great dude, and he was, as a fullback, Brett,
- 37:20Speaker 7: Mike Shanahan utilized the.
- 37:21Speaker 4: Snot out of that guy. What about Lil Jordan? That
- 37:25Speaker 4: poor guy, man.
- 37:27Speaker 3: If they're keeping all five of these guys, Vic, he's
- 37:30Speaker 3: going to be practice squad or somewhere else.
- 37:32Speaker 4: That's what happened last year. When they put him on
- 37:35Speaker 4: the active, you know what he does? He plays a lot.
- 37:39Speaker 7: It's not like he's just some guy that.
- 37:41Speaker 4: Look at the playoffs.
- 37:42Speaker 7: I know. It's not like some guy you just have
- 37:44Speaker 7: just in case.
- 37:46Speaker 4: If he's active, Sean Payton's like... Humphrey, get your ass
- 37:50Speaker 4: in there.
- 37:50Speaker 7: I mean, this guy makes catches and plays, but it's just,
- 37:53Speaker 7: it's the strangest thing. He can't be on an active,
- 37:55Speaker 7: but when he's on active, he plays a lot.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Can I ask you something?
- 37:58Speaker 3: If you're in a wide receiver room of five guys,
- 38:01Speaker 3: you feel really good about.
- 38:03Speaker 2: You love Sutton.
- 38:04Speaker 3: You love Waddle.
- 38:04Speaker 2: You love Brian. You love Mims.
- 38:06Speaker 3: You love Franklin. Why the hell is Humphrey playing anyway?
- 38:10Speaker 3: Why is he taking snaps from people?
- 38:12Speaker 4: He believes in him. He, he's almost a safety net
- 38:16Speaker 4: for the head coach. He, See, some of these other
- 38:19Speaker 4: guys might be wild cards still. They got to prove themselves.
- 38:21Speaker 4: This guy's proven himself to the head coach. Why he
- 38:24Speaker 4: keeps coming back? Remember, he left midseason last year and
- 38:28Speaker 4: came back and played in the playoffs.
- 38:31Speaker 3: I know.
- 38:34Speaker 4: But why? Because he produces. Because he catches the ball.
- 38:38Speaker 4: Because he knows the offense. He doesn't make the mistakes. Well,
- 38:44Speaker 4: then let somebody else go and keep him.
- 38:46Speaker 8: Like....
- 38:48Speaker 4: I just, I don't understand.
- 38:52Speaker 3: Little Jordan Humphrey is a fine wide receiver.
- 38:55Speaker 2: He's fine. Little Jordan Humphrey last year had, for the
- 39:01Speaker 2: Broncos in seven games, nine catches for 100 yards. But why?
- 39:10Speaker 3: If you have all these guys that you like, you
- 39:12Speaker 3: shouldn't be taking snaps from them. And if you think
- 39:14Speaker 3: that he's better than the guys that you're keeping on
- 39:16Speaker 3: the 53, then get rid.
- 39:17Speaker 2: Of one of the guys that you have on the 53.
- 39:18Speaker 2: It just doesn't make sense to me. But you're right.
- 39:23Speaker 3: It's another position that maybe on Sunday you could be
- 39:25Speaker 3: in for a surprise.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 39:27Speaker 3: I still, even though it's at minimal percentages now, my
- 39:30Speaker 3: prediction I made when camp started, I think it's poof,
- 39:33Speaker 3: all but gone. I'm still holding out maybe a 2%
- 39:36Speaker 3: chance that one of these guys, Franklin, Mims, somebody gets
- 39:39Speaker 3: moved before the deadline.
- 39:43Speaker 4: Maybe. We'll see.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Again, it's a good problem to have Yeah, if you're
- 39:50Speaker 3: talking about, I can't keep all the good players I
- 39:52Speaker 3: have on my roster.
- 39:53Speaker 2: That's a good thing.
- 39:53Speaker 7: Well, if you're Sean Payton and you really like Lil' Jordan,
- 39:56Speaker 7: you're trying to stash.
- 39:57Speaker 4: Him, right?
- 39:58Speaker 7: So, is he a vested veteran? Is he a four-year guy?
- 40:00Speaker 4: Lil' Jordan?
- 40:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 40:02Speaker 4: I think he's your age.
- 40:02Speaker 3: Yeah, Humphrey's been in the league since 2019.
- 40:04Speaker 7: Okay, well, there you go. Well, I'm just, I just
- 40:07Speaker 7: think of him the last couple years with the Broncos.
- 40:08Speaker 4: And he can block and he can do the little things.
- 40:10Speaker 7: He can do a lot of different things. Yeah, he
- 40:11Speaker 7: came over with him, but... Look, so he wouldn't have
- 40:14Speaker 7: to clear waivers. He would just be a UFA. The
- 40:17Speaker 7: guy has a lot of film out there.
- 40:19Speaker 4: This is what happened last year.
- 40:20Speaker 3: Last year, the same thing happened. They made their cuts.
- 40:22Speaker 3: He didn't make the team. He went and he signed
- 40:24Speaker 3: with the Giants. He barely played. They cut him.
- 40:26Speaker 2: He went back to Denver.
- 40:27Speaker 8: Right.
- 40:28Speaker 3: And he played in the playoffs because Franklin, I can't
- 40:32Speaker 3: remember what happened. Franklin had the hammy and Bryant had
- 40:35Speaker 3: the concussion, right?
- 40:36Speaker 7: Correct.
- 40:37Speaker 2: And then that's when Mims played.
- 40:39Speaker 4: Correct. Surprise! Played great. There's a huge reason why you
- 40:44Speaker 4: won in Buffalo. And then it's, yeah, I don't know.
- 40:47Speaker 3: I don't know how many Marvin Mims snaps we're going
- 40:49Speaker 3: to get this year. It's just confounding to me.
- 40:51Speaker 4: Very confusing.
- 40:53Speaker 3: But they have a lot of different decisions to make.
- 40:56Speaker 3: And it's going to be at these depth spots. And
- 40:57Speaker 3: you're probably going to lose guys you don't want to lose.
- 40:59Speaker 3: But that's the nature of being a good football team.
- 41:01Speaker 4: It's a good thing.
- 41:02Speaker 2: So much better than.
- 41:03Speaker 3: You get to camp and you're like, we need to
- 41:06Speaker 3: ravage this waiver wire.
- 41:08Speaker 4: We need to find players. It's been an uneventful camp
- 41:10Speaker 4: because the retention rate on this team has been astronomically high.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Even Legwald said it yesterday. He doesn't remember a team
- 41:18Speaker 4: that got that far into the postseason that retained pretty
- 41:21Speaker 4: much every position. Crazy. Yeah. It's crazy. What's the biggest
- 41:29Speaker 4: position inside linebacker that at the end of the season
- 41:35Speaker 4: Of what? Of all the spots that were secured by
- 41:38Speaker 4: starters here in Denver.
- 41:40Speaker 7: Okay?
- 41:41Speaker 4: Who were the starters to leave their spots? Inside linebacker.
- 41:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:48Speaker 7: And GFM is gone.
- 41:49Speaker 2: And, yeah, interior defensive line.
- 41:52Speaker 3: But they have guys in the interior they feel good about.
- 41:55Speaker 7: Greg Greenlaw gone. And GFM gone.
- 41:58Speaker 4: That's it. That's it? Dude, that is it? It really
- 42:03Speaker 4: is remarkable. It really is.
- 42:06Speaker 3: So, again, a lot of different decisions coming down on
- 42:12Speaker 3: Sunday before that. What is it, 4 p.m., right?
- 42:14Speaker 2: Is it 4 p.m. Eastern or 4 p.m.
- 42:16Speaker 4: Mountain? That's a good question. It's usually Eastern, but I
- 42:18Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if it's 4 p.m., but the news
- 42:22Speaker 4: just come down Saturday. People know.
- 42:25Speaker 7: By the way, Schefter's cheat sheet has been released. He
- 42:29Speaker 7: teased with us on Tuesday.
- 42:31Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 42:32Speaker 7: When you try to get them to lay out some
- 42:33Speaker 7: players for you.
- 42:34Speaker 2: Yeah, spill the goods, man.
- 42:36Speaker 1: It's out.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm glad we're at the end of the show.
- 42:40Speaker 2: I got very distracted.
- 42:41Speaker 7: Nelly, let's just move on with our favorite part of
- 42:43Speaker 7: the week.
- 42:44Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on, hang on.
- 42:45Speaker 3: Before he does that, let me give the winner our
- 42:47Speaker 3: final qualifier of this competition for our show, but there's
- 42:50Speaker 3: plenty more to come. Our final qualifier is Andy Gibbs.
- 42:57Speaker 3: Congratulations to Andy Gibbs.
- 42:59Speaker 4: Andy what? Gibbs. Not Gibb. Not Gibb. Not Bee Gees. Gibb.
- 43:05Speaker 3: I just want to be your everything.
- 43:09Speaker 2: I just want to get the drunk tanks, y'all. Go ahead, Nellie.
- 43:15Speaker 4: Marjorie Lombardi and Kane present... Drunk Takes. For the record,
- 43:21Speaker 4: I think this sort of dehumanizes us. And it really
- 43:27Speaker 4: cracks at our credibility as a show. Drunk Takes.
- 43:36Speaker 2: I've distracted everybody now, haven't I?
- 43:39Speaker 3: Anyway, Drunk Takes... It's our favorite part of the week.
- 43:42Speaker 3: It's clips from throughout the week.
- 43:43Speaker 2: We saw them down to half speed. It makes it
- 43:44Speaker 2: sound like we're hammered.
- 43:45Speaker 7: Nelly?
- 43:45Speaker 5: And she was so mad, so mad at me that
- 43:51Speaker 5: I did not know who Tom Holland and Zendaya are.
- 43:57Speaker 7: Who are they?
- 43:57Speaker 4: I didn't know who they were. She's like, you don't
- 44:03Speaker 4: know who they are.
- 44:04Speaker 8: They just got married.
- 44:05Speaker 7: I go, who are they?
- 44:07Speaker 4: I have no idea who Zendaya is. Do you know
- 44:11Speaker 4: who Tom Holland and Zazaya are?
- 44:14Speaker 5: Yes.
- 44:15Speaker 4: I thought you were hip, Vic.
- 44:19Speaker 3: I thought you knew the new cultural things. Sorry.
- 44:21Speaker 4: Missed that one.
- 44:23Speaker 2: What's next?
- 44:24Speaker 3: And if I see a shirtless Kyle Keefe in front
- 44:27Speaker 3: of me, it's seven in the morning.
- 44:29Speaker 4: Put your shirt on, you freak! It's a public place!
- 44:36Speaker 7: This isn't a pool!
- 44:39Speaker 8: Look at me.
- 44:40Speaker 4: I'm at Muscle Beach.
- 44:43Speaker 8: I'm out here doing my... I gotta get.
- 44:47Speaker 4: My reps in. Bunch of shirtless hippies at this place.
- 44:52Speaker 8: Good God.
- 44:55Speaker 4: It was distracting. His shirt was off for a long time.
- 44:59Speaker 4: It was a golf course.
- 45:00Speaker 2: What's next?
- 45:01Speaker 4: I have no problem with hunting. I come from a
- 45:06Speaker 4: family of They lived off the land.
- 45:10Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 45:12Speaker 4: I saw my dad spear a large hog. What a man.
